When she was sure that Count Vlad would not stand up again this time, she breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought we were dead." "Why, you don't have confidence in me?" Yin Xiu shook the Chaofeng Sword in his hand, and the blood dissipated along with the green light. "It's not that I don't have confidence in you, it's just that guy is too scary."
Laura Fonnna patted her chest, still finding it unbelievable. "I also know he's scary, cousin. Do you think I'm not afraid?" "I don't see that you're afraid." Laura Fountain shook her head, "Let's go!" "Where are you going?" Yin Xiu asked her. Laura Fontaine pursed her chin. "Of course we're going back to the castle! If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the brave detective is not here is because he went to deal with the [aftermath] inside, right?" "You are right." Yoon-seo grinned, “But you went the wrong way.” "Wrong way?" Laura Fountain was stunned. "Yes." Yin Xiu pointed in the opposite direction of the castle, "You should go that way." "Where to go?" "It's up to you. I've found you a ship that can take you to Dunling safely. After that, whether you want to go to Berlin, the Far East or somewhere else, I can get you there." "what?" Laura Fona didn't react. "Shouldn't we go back now, inherit the title of Blood Count, and then fight the Red Emperor together?" "You are wrong," Yin Xiu shook his head, "or rather, I am wrong." Yin Xiu straightened his collar. "Laura Founa, didn't the Detective say an old saying of ours before? It's called don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. When we found you, we didn't actually consider whether you wanted to come back or not. We just wanted to send you back, and the Nicholas family fulfilled their promise and became a part of our plan, that's all.
But then I realized that there was nothing wrong with all that, except that we shouldn't have asked for your opinion, Laura Fonnna. In fact, you don't plan to become a count or inherit a family. You just want to live a leisurely life. You don't care about what the vampire world is like, what Europe is like, not to mention the distant Far East that has nothing to do with you. Is this correct, or is this a wrong idea? I think in fact, in the eyes of others, there may be different opinions. Some people think you are wrong, and some people think you are right, but in fact, the most important thing is how you see it. If someone forces you to do something, that is the biggest mistake. Laura Fountain, you have to choose the life you want to live, this is the most important thing. " "Of course I know this is the case. Responsibility, family honor, etc. are nothing but empty words to me." Laura Fonnna pursed her lips and said, “But I also know that the life I thought I had been living happily in the past was actually because my family supported me from behind. Just like now, I am leaving Dunling, it is very simple, but the storms in the future will have to be borne by you, right? Just like before. This is too selfish and irresponsible.” "But isn't responsibility what you hate most?" Yin Xiu narrowed her eyes, “It doesn’t matter, Laura Founa, sometimes one person less or one more doesn’t make much difference. Sometimes I wonder, even if I didn’t exist in this world, would those strange things not happen? Maybe those things will still happen and nothing will change. If so, what difference does it make if there is one more me or one less me? Laura Founa, you are not as important as you think. If you refuse the position of Count Nicholas, they will soon find someone else to take his place. This is inevitable. So even if you leave now, it won’t have any impact on the overall situation.” Laura Fountain's eyes were red. "So, you're saying it's okay? Even if I leave like this?" "Yes." Yin Xiu rubbed Laura Fountain's really soft and smooth golden hair, "I told you that you are not someone who likes to be close to storms, so just go ahead and forget about your responsibilities and missions, and just live the life you like, that's all." "But this isn't fair," Laura Foner murmured. "It doesn't matter. Everyone is just fighting for their own goals and ideals. This is fair enough." Yoon Soo removed his hand from her head and adjusted his clothes again. He had decided to go back to the castle and take a look after Laura Fountaine left. Whether it was announced that Laura was dead or that she had escaped, he would let the Nicholas family elect another count. Joseph should not be dead yet. In Yin Xiu's opinion, Joseph is a good candidate. However, after waiting for a long time, Laura Fonnna still showed no intention of leaving. "Okay?" Yin Xiu frowned, "Don't think I'm a gentleman and I won't beat you up! Why don't you leave?" Laura Fountain smiled and asked him, "Do you like storms?" Yin Xiu shook his head without hesitation, "To be honest, my biggest dream is to be able to lie on the beach in Hawaii and bask in the sun, surrounded by beautiful women, and have so much money that I can never spend it all.
Instead of fighting here, fighting those vampires and werewolves in close combat." "But, in this case, you won't have the chance to see me?" Laura Foanna blinked. "Do you think anyone is happy to see you?" Yin Xiu rolled his eyes at her unhappily. "Humph!" Laura Fonnna was so angry that she laughed. She crossed her arms over her chest and couldn't help but doubt her own charm. After a pause, she asked, "You've already said that everything in this world is the same with or without you, so why do you have to get involved in these things? Isn't it good to enjoy your life freely in Hawaii? Is it because someone needs your help, or is it because you have a lot of things that you can't let go of?" "neither." Yin Xiu waved her hand. "In fact, the reason why I am willing to let myself get involved in this bloody storm is because of hope." "hope?" Laura Fonna frowned, obviously not understanding. "Yes, it's the hope that everything will get better. Maybe my participation in it won't change anything. But maybe it's just not possible this time, right now. I'm betting everything on that hope that may not appear yet." "Isn't that just like begging God to come?" "That's pretty much it, if that's how you put it." Yin Xiu spread his hands, "Maybe the Messiah who can save the world in the legend is not me. I am just playing some kind of role-playing game, or in other words, I am the soldier waving the flag and cheering before the main character appears." "But you seem to be enjoying it?" "Yeah," Yin Xiu smiled, "I said, it doesn't matter, I am willing to do these things for that vague hope. This is the path I chose myself. No one forced me, and no one gave me any promises or conditions." "Then you are really a happy and pure person." After Laura Fontaine wiped her face, she suddenly took Yin Xiu's hand. "What are you doing?" Yin Xiu was startled by her. "Nothing, let's go back." Laura Fonnna smiled brightly, "You have convinced me, oh no, I should say you have given me a reason to face these terrible things." Yin Xiu hesitated, "You mean hope?" "Yes, it is hope." Laura Fona nodded, "Although I don't think there is a Messiah who can lead everyone to a better future, because I am a vampire, not a human. If the Messiah wants people to be better, doesn't he have to eliminate werewolves and vampires first? But I am willing to place all my hopes on you, Yin Xiu, because I feel that you are the one who can help everyone escape from this despair. Just like now, I should have been stabbed to death by Count Vlad, but I am standing here and have learned something that makes me no longer resist becoming Count Nicholas. In other words, I am willing to become a count because I place my hope on you, and this is how I support you. " Yin Xiu let out a long sigh and felt that the burden on his shoulders seemed to have become heavier.
Before, it was the fate of Kyushu, the rise and fall of Taoism, and the advice of friends. Now even the beautiful vampire nobles are going to place some hope on him? "What do you want?" Yin Xiu asked her. "First of all," Laura Fountain's eyes narrowed into crescents, "I have to survive first, don't I?" "That's easy." Yin Xiu smiled. When the two of them slowly walked back to the castle, just as they had imagined, after eliminating Count Vlad, the remaining guys were no longer a threat. Luo Wei quickly dealt with them and was now sitting at the bottom of the steps in the hall, staring at everyone, or rather confronting them. When he saw Yin Xiu coming in and Laura Fountain, Luo Wei couldn't help but be stunned, "Didn't we agree to let her go?" "I've changed my mind." Laura Fona smiled and said, “I did some calculations along the way. If I become the earl of the Nicholas family, then the bankruptcy problem that has troubled me will no longer seem to be a problem. This ancient family has such a huge fortune that I can't spend it all even if I just lie down." She seemed to be serious, and Luo Wei shook his head and gave Yin Xiu a look. Yin Xiu blinked, indicating that he was also confused. Then he turned around and looked at the vampires who were looking at him unfriendly. "You guys know this guy, right?" Yin Xiu threw a package at hand to the ground in front of him, and it landed right in the middle of the Nicholas family emblem. The package loosened, and Count Vlad's head rolled out, his face covered with dried blood. Joseph stood aside and was the first to recognize that it was Count Vlad, and then almost all the vampires present recognized him. At this time, Yin Xiucai cleared his throat. "This is Lady Laura Foner's punishment for the traitor. This head will be hung on the top of the castle tower forever as a warning to others." Everyone was as silent as a cicada. I don’t know whether it was Laura Fonnna who did it after inheriting the blessing of blood, or it was the murderous Oriental man in front of me who did it. However, they did not know the strength of this Oriental man, but they knew how powerful another Oriental man, Luo Wei, was, so soon, everyone's attention shifted from Laura Fountain to Yin Xiu. But Yin Xiu didn't intend to say much. He just paced and stood behind Laura Fonnna. Laura looked around and found that the dagger used in the inheritance ceremony had fallen to the ground. "Does it have to be a dagger?" She glanced at Joseph. Joseph was stunned for a moment, and replied: "This is the rule of our ancestors. The inheritance ceremony of the bloodline has been like this for thousands of years. In order to obtain the blessing of the dark gods, there is also..." Laura Fountain interrupted him, "Just tell me, is it enough to drip the blood onto the soil in the box?" "That is [holy blood], not some dirt." Joseph responded in a low voice, but when he found that they were not going to listen to his explanation, he gave up and nodded, "That's about right."
"Okay, wait for me." Laura Fountain suddenly hid behind Yin Xiu and turned around. When she came out again, a few drops of blood flew out from her fingertips and fell into the box. Amid a low groan, red, black, and green light flowed towards Laura Fonnna's chest. Laura Fonnna's pupils became as sharp as needles and her body trembled slightly. Yin Xiu stepped aside, and everyone looked at Laura Fonnna. Finally, after the light disappeared, Laura Fountain returned to normal without any changes. It’s just that her temperament seemed different from before, becoming more beautiful and dignified, with a kind of beauty that could not be desecrated. The bloodline inheritance ceremony is completed. All the vampires half-knelt on the ground, or bent their knees with their skirts lifted, to pay tribute to Lauravonna Sofia von Nicolaas, the new Count Nicolaas. In the future, for a long or short period of time, she will be the only remaining earl of the bloodline. In other words, she will also be the count who opens a new era for vampires, a brand new era, which has special significance. Laura Fonnna nodded gently to everyone, showing off her noble, beautiful chin. She sat down on the chair, and the leaders of the families came forward one by one, kissed the back of her hand, and swore their allegiance. Of course Yin Xiu and Luo Wei stood aside to "watch the ceremony". "By the way, when did Laura Fonnna become so powerful that she learned the trick of forcing blood from her fingers? Did you teach her?" Luo Wei asked curiously. Yin Xiu glanced at him and shook her head, “No, it’s not from your fingers. You have to remember that Laura Fountain is no different from a normal girl. She also has times when she doesn’t feel well.” Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" Yin Xiu looked strange, "Not from the finger." (End of this chapter)
