For this reason, he set his sights on a...
Ruined monastery.
As the saying goes, the safest place is the most dangerous place. Although the Lord’s glory is strong here, you may not believe it.
Victor casually sang a baptismal chant and sighed helplessly.
"I am also a vampire who has bathed in the Lord's holy light."
I love Holy Light so much.
In fact, when Victor first found this monastery, he was shocked.
A small town like Apatin deserves a monastery? Even if it is dilapidated, it is still a monastery!
It shouldn't exist, okay?
The status of the monastery is quite high, and even agents cannot enter without permission.
Generally speaking, even the most dilapidated monastery would have a few disciplined people maintaining it, but here - Victor had just thought of this when he was slightly stunned when he sneaked in, and saw a nun holding a broom, bumping into him from the corner.
For a moment, the two people looked at each other.
What's going on? He has clearly used his magic to sense his surroundings.
But what really surprised him was not this. The lack of feedback from magic perception meant that it was more likely that this nun was an ordinary person, and that this monastery itself might have hidden magic. What really surprised him was...
It was this nun, with the silver hair and... the bulging belly that was obviously pregnant for a long time.
For a moment, Victor was speechless.
This damn world really likes to test his humanity?
……
Just when Victor hesitated and was about to draw his sword to launch a super invincible threat, the other party suddenly made way and turned around and said, "Here, there is a place to rest."
"Ok?"
Victor was slightly stunned for a long time. The nun took a few steps and seemed to notice that he had not caught up with her. She turned her head again with clear eyes: "You seem tired, and... very weak."
Is Victor weak?
I am very sure of that.
Not just physical fatigue, but also mental fatigue.
There is no way to hide the impact on temperament caused by such long-term travel.
Victor was silent. He looked into the other person's eyes and suddenly said helplessly, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"
However, the nun did not give an answer to this question. She just shook her head quietly and motioned for him to continue following, leaving her back to him without any warning.
A black key silently appeared in Victor's hand, and he looked at the other's back.
In the end, he sighed softly. Killing pregnant women...
Tsk, Victor thought about it, although he didn't kill him, but after the last lesson, Victor didn't completely trust him either.
He simply didn't go to rest and just followed the pregnant woman. Anyway, he just needed a hiding place to avoid the daytime.
He didn't dare to take a rest.
At first, Victor was a little worried, but until the sun passed noon, no agent had come to explore the place where he was, an old monastery with only two or three rooms on the edge of the town, which was located on a high ground.
A priest came in and talked to the nun about something.
At that time, Victor was most nervous, but the nun did not say a word. Instead, the priest gave her a lot of instructions, such as the situation was very chaotic recently, and the priest who was originally planning to entrust the case to had unfortunately passed away, and he would help her continue the search.
This made Victor feel even more strange, and he couldn't help but think, the priest the other party was talking about...could he be referring to Ulysses?
Could it be that Ulysses's visit to this ruined city is related to this nun?
Hiss, could this nun be some important person? !
Chapter 37: You owe me a lot
The nun is naturally not a big shot.
Victor didn't care who she was.
But time passed again, and the whole day passed safely until it was almost evening.
Victor's tense heart finally relaxed. He sat in the yard, watching the nun busy all day with her belly bulging. He couldn't help but ask, "You...are you the only one in this monastery?"
"Ah."
The nun was silent, but she still answered Victor's question softly, then slowly poured the simmered vegetable soup into a bowl.
"Then your family..."
Just as Victor was about to continue asking, he saw the other party walk over silently and put the thick soup in front of him.
"…This is…made for me?"
"Yes." Nodding gently, she said softly, "You haven't eaten for a day, you need to replenish."
Victor was silent.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that perhaps the church was not so hopeless.
At least in this world, at least for her...
She doesn't care about her origins or identity. To her, as long as someone who enters this monastery is in need, she will help with the most essential and purest kindness.
Just because... this is the light that the nuns believe in.
Just like a saint in another world, when an innocent person cries for help and extends a hand, he will definitely return the helping hand, right?
It's ridiculous.
Victor stayed in the yard, looking at the sunset and the not-so-rich bowl of soup in front of him, feeling speechless.
The sun was setting, and it was time for him to leave.
But when he saw the nun silently picking up the broom again, preparing to sweep the fallen leaves in late autumn, Victor took a deep breath, reluctantly snatched the broom and said, "Now, go back and rest."
Victor was a little speechless, and simply said, "Just consider it as a reward for the meal and today's shelter."
"You are already a mother. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider your children."
"..." The nun blinked her one eye quietly, looked at Victor for a while, suddenly nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the room.
"I'll help you clean up the yard, and then I'll leave."
Just as she was about to go in, Victor suddenly said, "Although I think it's best to leave quietly, I still have to say goodbye to you and ask you something."
"Your man..."
"He went on a mission and left a few days ago." The nun seemed to understand what Victor was worried about and took the initiative to explain.
…to carry out the mission.
Victor was slightly stunned. The one who was going to carry out the mission at this time might be... Could it be that the knight?
Victor felt a little guilty for some reason and remained silent for a few seconds. Fortunately, the other party added in time: "I'm going abroad, so I'll be back a little late."
"Oh, going abroad."
Victor heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't know why. He had been on the battlefield and had trained himself to the point where he would not have any psychological burden when seeing the family members and brothers of the people he had killed. But when facing such a pure nun, he felt a trace of guilt for the first time in a long time.
“But it’s true.”
Seeing that it was a bit awkward, Victor simply picked up the broom and changed the subject while sweeping: "Obviously my wife is pregnant, even if it's work..."
"It's a bit too much to just abandon you and go abroad like this. Does he really love you?"
“……”Hearing this, the nun opened her eyes and turned her head.
In the night, Victor raised his eyebrows. That was... the first time Victor saw the other person smile.
It’s like... a cold flower on the iceberg suddenly blooms, and a face that doesn’t know what a smile is suddenly sees the ultimate happiness.
Gorgeous and... exquisite.
"Yes, love." The nun smiled and said, "He loves me very much."
……
Swish!
Somewhere in Apatin, blood was scattered all over the sky. Heiji turned her head away in disgust. A faint flame climbed up the corpse and burned it.
This group of damn believers were like a group of hyenas that came where they smelled a scent. She just explored their trail a little bit and they were bitten, and she couldn't get rid of them no matter how hard she tried.
It's really troublesome, then I can only kill them all -
The night fell into silence once again, with only Heiji's red eyes shining with the bright moon in the sky.
Suddenly, the magic power in her body expanded and exploded, and was released once again!
Then, somewhere, the entire monastery was being cleaned using magic, and Victor, who was very tired, was about to put down the broom.
His peripheral vision swept across the moon in the sky, and it was as if he saw a hint of red.
Victor was stunned at first, and an extremely bad sixth sense began to surge in his heart.
"We have to leave immediately...leave this city!"
Victor's heart grew heavier, and he made the decision without hesitation.
However, at this moment, as if far away in the horizon, but actually at the other end of this small town, a burst of magical power violently erupted and turned into a pillar of light that shot up into the sky!
It dispersed the dark clouds, dispelled the thick fog, and illuminated the entire city.
"..." Victor looked at the moon which was becoming increasingly red, and became more and more certain that Heiji had arrived in the city.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the nun wiped her hazy eyes, awakened by the light that completely illuminated the entire city, and came out.
"Did...something happen?"
"Go in."
"?" The nun was confused.
But Victor said to her again in an unquestionable tone: "Now! Go in! Close the room tightly--"
Whoosh!
Before he finished speaking, an endless magic storm invaded the entire city. The moment Victor suddenly took a step back to protect the nun, a blood-red pupil quietly appeared in the quiet courtyard. Behind her, several hurried figures were rapidly landing. They were the priest and several agents who had been here during the day.
"This is..." The priest himself was a little surprised.
They were surprised that Heiji was willing to release her power to break through their blockade and encirclement, but they never expected... it would be here?
"you……"
When he turned around and saw Victor protecting the nun, he was stunned.
His years of experience allowed him to recognize Victor as a Dead Apostle almost immediately, but the image of a Dead Apostle protecting a nun was a bit...
A sense of impact.
However, Victor didn't have time to pay attention to this guy at this time. Instead, he turned around and looked at the girl in the black dress who appeared in the shadows at some point.
"You really..."
Looking at the black knight whose flames were gradually burning, and the white beast with half-closed eyes above her head, Victor smiled bitterly: "I never thought that our second meeting would be in this situation."
"The fact that you were able to find me so quickly means you've already guessed it was me...right?"
"Of course." Hearing this, Heiji slowly raised her head and looked at Victor indifferently: "After all... in the whole Croatia and the surrounding areas, there are not many Dead Apostles who can catch my eye, and there are even fewer who can find Brad."
When she said this, a complicated look flashed in her eyes.
She was the one who gave Victor the secret technique to find Brad.
But she never expected that this guy Victor... actually used this technique to kill his own elder in the blink of an eye after he left her sight while saying that he did it to save his life.
"You guy..."
She bit her lower lip lightly and said through gritted teeth, "Is this how you repay me?"
"We have already settled the matter." Victor heard this and said helplessly: "But judging from the current situation, it seems that settling the matter is not a good thing--"
Being cleared of all grievances meant that he could indeed do whatever he wanted to Altluchi and her people, after all, he didn't owe them anything.
