My mother's love song

"...I feel really sorry for that dead apostle who actually angered his mother."

Rhodes took out his cell phone from his pocket and said: Let's make a quick call to comfort my mother.

Chapter 420: Elquet: Ugh... I'm going to fall

"Hey... I'm surprised you can make that kind of expression."

Elquet sat cross-legged on the bed like an old man, with his hands on his ankles wrapped in black stockings, watching Rod sleeping beside him with interest.

In the impression of Zhenzu Jijun, this young man who once killed her with extremely cruel means should be a more free and easy person.

But not long ago, he was talking on the phone, nodding and bowing to the person on the other end of the line, just like a Japanese office worker.

Afterwards, Elquet learned that the person Rod was talking to was his mother and wife, the woman who killed the dead man who was the culprit in the hotel massacre last night.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed very, very angry, and said that he would kill all the vampires on earth to relieve his hatred.

It took Rhodes a full hour to finally cheer the woman up on the phone.

Would the boy who was so arrogant before show such an attitude in front of the woman he loves?

As a True Ancestor, Elquet could not understand Rod's behavior.

Is this what is called a family?

In fact, Elquet is not without relatives.

Her "mother", the Red Moon, known as the Moon King, Brunstad.

Her "sister" is Altruci Brunstad, also known as the Black Princess.

However, these people who are related by blood are completely opposite to her.

"What are you doing there gnashing your teeth, Arquette."

Rhodes opened his eyes and stared at the True Ancestor Princess.

"what."

Pulled back from his memories by the boy's call, the murderous light in Elquet's red eyes instantly disappeared.

She blinked: "Are you awake?"

Glancing at the clock, it was less than 6 o'clock in the evening, and only four hours had passed since Rhodes lay down.

"Well, I never sleep much."

Rod got up from the bed: "If I'm at home, I usually sleep 8 hours, but if I'm at my wife's house, I may only sleep 3 hours a day."

"why?"

Elquet asked curiously.

Rhodes smiled slyly: "Humans are amazing, right?

Compared to this, Elquet, are you feeling better? "

"Ah, it's okay~"

Arquette smiled generously and pretended to show off his biceps.

Did he learn this from some TV show... But he does look pretty good and energetic.

"Well, I'm glad your injury is not serious."

""

Elquet stared at Rod's face with a strange expression.

Rhodes was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Staring at my face."

"No... This is the first time I see you with this expression."

"What kind of expression?"

"Um~~~~"

Elquet poked his face with his finger, thought for a moment, and then said, "What expression will you show in front of your wives?"

“…Haha.”

Rhodes sighed: "What are you boasting about?"

"ah???",

Elquet opened his eyes wide in confusion: "Did I say something strange?"

Rhodes suddenly felt that he was not good at talking to a girl who was too naive like her.

He changed the subject and said, "But... after all, your injury was caused by me, so I would be somewhat happy if you were healthy."

"Oh, right! I almost forgot that I got hurt because Rod killed me for no reason! Yeah, so you really should take good care of my health~"

Elquet said with a smile.

I always feel that her next sentence will be "Take me to Xuxuyuan!"

But he couldn't let her get too complacent, so he immediately said, "Don't forget that the reason I'm here is because your enemies are interfering with my normal life."

"Hmm...it seems so."

Elquet nodded deeply: "But it is also true that you killed him! You must take responsibility to the end, Rod!"

As he spoke, he patted Rhodes' shoulder excitedly.

Heavy. Very heavy.

This sense of responsibility, written as "take responsibility" and read as "I'm relying on you", weighed heavily on the boy's thin arms.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Rhode's expression turned serious, and he said to Elquet: "Well, it's about time to talk about serious matters."

As if infected by the atmosphere, the Moon Princess also changed her casual attitude and straightened her back: "Yeah! What do you want to talk about? I will tell you everything I know!"

After talking to Tiamat on the phone, Rhodes learned that the 19th boss in "Tsukiji Remake", Zufrof Archangel, had been defeated by his mother.

In this case, all we have to do next is defeat the instigator, the Akasha Snake, and this Dead Apostles rebellion will come to an end.

Rhodes said: "Let's talk about the Akasha Serpent."

The so-called Akasha Snake refers to the magician whose real name is Michael Roa Fadanyan.

A priest of the Cathedral Church 800 years ago, a builder of burial mechanisms, and a powerful person with genius magical talents.

The twenty-seventh ancestor is an extra member. Although he possesses a principle similar to that of the Principle Blood Ring, it is too inferior to be recognized by other ancestors.

In the original work, Roya tricked Elquet, who had never sucked blood before, into sucking his blood, becoming Elquet's dead disciple and obtaining the blood ring that could engrave his soul into a baby to achieve infinite reincarnation.

On the other hand, the blood-sucking impulse of the True Ancestor Princess, who tasted blood, got out of control, and the runaway Elquet killed almost all the other True Ancestors in the Millennium City.

Since then, Elquet has regarded him as his mortal enemy. For 800 years, whenever Roya's reincarnation appeared, he would wake up from his long sleep and continue to kill the other party.

In the world of Fate, Roya did not meet Elquet, but he still gained the power of reincarnation.

A magician who simply pursues the root, his most famous deed is that he is one of the characters who framed Father Faria in "The Count of Monte Cristo".

Edmond Dantes forcibly obtained the magic circuit and magic seal through the secret treasure entrusted by Father Faria [The Fourteen Stones of the King of Death, which regenerates humans], and killed him with black flames, burning Roja from body to soul.

In terms of combat power, he is not a troublesome guy. The guy who was reincarnated as Toono Shiki can only be considered a third-rate servant at best, and may even be worse than Matou Zouken.

However, his survival ability is far stronger than that of the old bug.

Don't worry about this. Rhode has many ways to attack the soul directly, so if nothing goes wrong, he can easily solve it as long as he finds that guy.

"Akasha's Serpent? What is that?"

Elquet blinked innocently.

Rhode was stunned, and subconsciously asked back: "What... Don't you know? The magician named Roya? Isn't he your mortal enemy?"

"Luo...Ya?"

The white princess pinched her delicate chin and tilted her head, lost in deep thought.

She seemed to be trying to remember the name.

Seeing this, Rhodes couldn't help but mutter, "What are you doing, Elquet."

Not only the body, but also the memory was shattered by me?

“Mmmmm…don’t rush me, let me think about it!”

Looking at the frowning princess, Rhodes suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu.

Isn’t this the famous scene where Tokugawa Mitsunari asks Miyamoto Musashi about “Sasaki Kojiro”?

Hey, hey, hey... Your Highness, do you also want to say "he is ordinary"?

"Ah...Roya!"

The innocent princess seemed to have remembered. Rhode breathed a sigh of relief and scolded, "How could you forget your old enemy?"

"?"

Elquet frowned in confusion and said, "I remember that Roya was the founder of the Burial Agency? Although the Altar Church and I are in a hostile relationship, I don't know that guy, so we can't say we are enemies."

"…………ah."

Rhodes pressed his temple in distress: The history here is completely messed up!

Elquet came over attentively: "What's wrong, Rod? Do you have a headache? Do you want me to massage it for you?"

"Wait, let me be quiet first."

The Elquet of this world actually doesn't know Roya.

Yes, that's how it should be.

Because this is a world more like Fate! Then she naturally wouldn't know Roya!

Then, a new problem arises.

What was Elquet's purpose in coming to Japan?

Who is the dead apostle she is hunting down?

Rhode sorted out his thoughts and said, "Elquet, just pretend you didn't hear what I just said."

"Hey~~~ Why is this happening!"

Elquet showed a startled expression: "Tell me, what's going on? Does Rod know 'the me that I don't know'?"

Humph... I really don't know if she is just a child who speaks without restraint or is just extremely perceptive.

Afterwards, Rhode laughed it off, trying to get past Roya's matter.

"Okay, okay, I get it. Anyway, you always say things that I don't understand. I've noticed this since I met Rhodes.

Compared to these, we have more troubles right now. Now that you are awake, we have to discuss countermeasures quickly."

Halfway through saying this, Elquet suddenly fell onto the bed with a thud.

"Arquette...?"

Rhodes quickly held her shoulders and saw that the True Ancestor Princess's forehead was covered with sweat and even breathing became very difficult.

"Oh... Oops, it seems like it still doesn't work..."

Rhodes looked at her abdomen and saw no blood stains on her white clothes, indicating that the Holy Shroud had properly controlled the wound.

"What's the matter, Arquette?"

Rod asked nervously.

“Ah…ah…this, although the wound seems to have healed, I don’t know why a curse seems to be left in my body…”

Elquet bit his lip and whispered, "As expected of Rod... This curse that even I can't understand is very powerful... Hmm..."

"Huh? The curse didn't disappear because of the holy relic?"

Rod asked.

But as soon as he said it, he realized that this question was really stupid.

The injury that Elquet suffered now was caused by him. What's the point of Rhodes asking her instead of himself?
