Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

The eldest lady pushed the door with her back, and with a "click", the door was locked tightly.

"Come on, Lor, take off your shirt!"

She swallowed and ordered.

……

Boom, boom, boom.

Isabella lay on her side, put her ear against Lor's chest, and listened to his heartbeat, which gradually became stable and peaceful from the initial chaos... It seemed that his condition had returned to normal.

However, she did not let Lor go.

Instead, she continued to hug his body, pressing their skin tightly together, greedily demanding his body temperature.

This feeling is quite addictive.

"Phew, I feel much better...thanks to you, miss."

Lor said softly, with a hint of relief and fatigue in his words:

"However, after my body returned to normal, I felt a little cold... How about you let me go and let me put on some clothes? Or at least cover me with a blanket?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Even if you cover yourself with the quilt, it will be kicked off later." Isabella's face was still pressed against Lor's chest, with no intention of lifting it up.

"Oh? Miss, it seems that you are aware that you have a bad sleeping posture." Lor's mouth corners rose slightly.

"Humph, that's not what I meant... and who said we were going to bed?"

It's too late to say.

Isabella suddenly turned over, pressed Lor under her forcefully, and then held his wrists firmly with both hands.

The silver hair fell down and brushed against Lor's face, making him feel itchy.

"Hmph, forget about sleeping tonight, you stupid follower."

Isabella slowly lowered her head, and the pair of fangs in her mouth slowly grew longer.

She bit Lor's earlobe lightly, then blew a breath into his ear canal and moaned:

"You're feeling comfortable, but I've been holding it in... from last night until now... and just now when I was hugging you, I was trying to suppress the urge to suck your blood. Do you know how uncomfortable I was?"

...It seems that the young lady is a little hungry and thirsty tonight.

This scene reminded Lor of the night they had signed their bond... Back then, Isabella, newly resurrected, had an equally unusual thirst for blood...

But compared to that time, there is obviously more tenderness in her eyes now.

It can even be said to be "love".

Even the seemingly strong action just now did not really hurt Lor... Back then, she was not so polite.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, young lady."

Lor smiled and spoke softly.

Then, he closed his eyes.

The slight pain when the needle pierced the back of his neck, and the subsequent feeling similar to "happiness", came as expected... Lor did not hate this feeling, and he was even a little addicted to it.

If possible, he would even be willing to be sucked by Isabella for the rest of his life.

62. Walking on Thin Ice

The next day, at the Holy Light Church in Gordon City.

Lor got up a little late today, and it was already nine o'clock in the morning when he reported to Captain Roninna's office.

"Good morning, Lor..." The captain raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You're late today, that's rare."

There were quite a few people in the room, including the red-haired Vivian, the lazy and decadent senior Joyce, and the bald big brother Stanley.

At present, Benjamin Bane's wife and daughter are still protected in the Gordon City Church. Just in case, there are more people on duty than usual.

Captain Luo Nina gathered everyone in the office, probably to explain today's work arrangements.

"I'm sorry, Captain," Lor explained. "I was so tired yesterday that I accidentally overslept... I promise it won't happen again!"

"Oh? What did you do yesterday?" Senior Joyce asked curiously. "Oh, I see! You just moved into the big house you loved, but you had to be on duty for two days in a row. Your fiancée at home is not happy about it, and she wants you to 'make it up' to her, right? Tsk tsk, you must be working hard."

"Compensation..." Upon hearing this word, the innocent Vivian blushed, "Joyce, please don't make such jokes!"

"Are you kidding me?" Joyce raised her eyebrows and smirked. "What I mean is, she probably wants Lor to go shopping with her, and then have a romantic candlelight dinner or something... What are you thinking about, Vivian?"

"I..." Vivian was speechless for a moment.

"Alright, alright, stop bullying her." Captain Ronina glared at Joyce with a hint of reproach, then looked at Lor. "But you look so tired and overworked, so this can't be just a 'date,' right?"

How come you're excited too, Captain?

The corners of Lor's mouth twitched slightly.

It seems that if I don’t satisfy the gossip desires of these colleagues today, I won’t be able to leave this office.

"It's nothing, really. I just took the kids out for an outing." Lor brought out the excuse he had prepared long ago. "It's the one I mentioned before, Isabella's little sister... The little one is very energetic. Taking care of her has exhausted Isabella and me."

Hearing this, everyone looked enlightened.

So that’s how it is. Accompanying children…that’s really tiring.

In this regard, Stanley, the bald eldest brother with three children at home, has the most say:

"When you're with children, you always have to give them 200 percent of your energy. But even though it's tiring, sometimes you can also reap rich rewards."

My eldest brother doesn't talk much.

But full of wisdom.

"Yes! You are absolutely right, senior!" Lor nodded in agreement.

The treasure Stanley mentioned probably refers to "the innocent smile on the child's face" or "the sense of accomplishment and fulfillment of being a parent"...

But the treasure Lor found on this "outing" was quite tacky.

That is, a pile of gold, silver and jewelry, a few convenient and useful talismans and props, and some relics of supernatural powers.

Not worth mentioning.

……

Today's work schedule is as follows -

The captain personally sat in the duty room, Joyce stood guard outside the room where Benjamin Benn's wife and daughter were, and Lor, Vivian and Stanley were responsible for patrolling around the church until other team members came to take over.

This emergency situation will continue until new contact comes from the diocesan headquarters.

But Lor understood that this incident was actually over.

After all, the Duke of Campbury is dead.

If nothing goes wrong, my colleagues at the diocesan headquarters will be able to reach the dragon ruins today, find Benjamin Bane warming himself by the fire, and the bodies of the Duke's men... Then, as long as Bishop Helm contacts the captain and synchronizes the situation, we can call it a day.

Now all he needed to do was take a walk and pass the time.

Having said that, Lor was still a little worried.

...The matter of the dragon ruins is of great importance, and the church cannot close the case hastily.

Since even the Duke of Camberley knew that the egg in the treasury was the incarnation of the so-called "Dragon God", then the higher-ups in the Church of Holy Light might also possess this information.

They should try their best to confirm whether the items in the treasure house are still there.

If the church discovered that the dragon egg had disappeared, it would definitely not let it go. It would most likely alert the Holy City and even send an "inquisitor" to investigate the truth of the incident.

"Well, I shouldn't have left any evidence behind, right?"

Lor couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

In order to avoid exposing his identity, Lor deliberately used the second-level divine art "Purification Field" on the bodies of the Duke and others. In this way, his colleagues at the parish headquarters would not be able to obtain intelligence by "talking to the dead".

In addition, although Lor and Isabella were very careful along the way and did not leave any obvious traces, just in case, they deliberately destroyed some necessary passages on their way back, making "tracking" almost impossible.

As for Meimei's ultimate move... judging by the traces left at the battle scene, it could only be considered some large-scale ice spell. With dragons now extinct, it's unlikely anyone would actually associate it with "dragon's breath."

I reviewed the entire process and found no loopholes.

but……

It's just that there are no loopholes within Lor's current cognitive scope.

In the world of supernatural powers, nothing is absolute... The means and abilities possessed by some high-level supernatural beings are simply unimaginable with Lor's current level of rank and knowledge!

Fortunately, before setting off, the wise voice in my head had already set a flag.

This allowed Lor to be sure that this adventure would not be too risky.

But even so, we still can't take it lightly.

Especially the antique coins and jewelry obtained this time, they must not be sold lightly before finding a safe and reliable way to cash them in, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may leave behind fatal evidence!

"It feels like walking on thin ice." Lor sighed in his heart.

I have said before that unexpected wealth can also be a troublesome thing.

Also, about the dead dragon egg...

That thing seemed to resonate with Meimei, a member of the dragon clan, bringing her immense power and knowledge, but it also contained considerable risks... Before further figuring out the details of this thing, it would be best to keep it in the "alien space storage bag" and not let Meimei come into contact with it again for the time being.

Lor was walking, thinking about all sorts of things.

After spending some time there, I returned to the church and happened to hear a burst of crying... the crying of a mother and daughter, tears of joy.

Apparently, news that Benjamin Benn is still alive has reached the parish headquarters.

"Fortunately, I used a talisman to light a fire for him to keep warm... Otherwise, he would have frozen to death before his colleagues at the diocesan headquarters found him." Lor thought with relief. "All in all, it's good that he's okay... That's cause for celebration."

At the same time, he suddenly had an epiphany.

Another originally vague second-level divine spell gradually became clear in his mind.

"The Path of Holy Light is the Path of Redemption and Protection... This is the essence of our extraordinary origin..." Lor raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking, "So, is this a reward for me practicing the Creed once again?"

63. Isabella's Dream

It's close to noon.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the curtains, illuminating Isabella's sleeping face.

"Um..."

The girl murmured something and slowly turned over.

The quilt that Lor had covered her with when she got up in the morning had been kicked under the bed again.

Fortunately, it was daytime and the temperature had risen. Even though Isabella was only wearing a thin nightgown with her graceful legs and smooth, delicate shoulders exposed, she didn't feel cold.

“Hmm… hehehe…”

Isabella suddenly gave way to an inarticulate laugh.

She is dreaming.

A very beautiful dream.

The church bells rang three times, and Isabella, wearing a white gauze dress and holding flowers, walked towards the wedding venue shoulder to shoulder with Lor.

On this day, the small church in Gordon City was packed with people.

All of Loer's colleagues were there, and everyone had a smiling face filled with blessings.

However, the female colleague named Vivian Gray was an exception. Although she was also smiling, there was a bit of bitterness between her brows like a loser, and she kept muttering, "Isn't it good?"

Captain Luo Nina was in charge of presiding over today's wedding. She was dressed in an elegant and holy white priest robe, quietly waiting for the newlyweds to come forward.

In addition, Isabella's family members were also there.

Father and mother, brothers and sisters...even the former housekeeper and servants were all there.

The mother wiped away her tears quietly.

The father said with a hint of reproach: "Why are you crying? It's not like we'll never see each other again... But I never thought that my Isabella would actually become a bride one day..."

Hey, hey, father, what do you mean?
