Chapter 964, You Deserve to Die

The sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, cutting out sharp spots of light on the conference table.

The ghost of the religious leader Saidu was suspended at the junction of light and darkness, and his translucent body looked even more hideous because of his anger.

"24 warships sank, the Pope fell, and 12 archbishops were martyred!" the religious leader asked loudly, "If the association turns a blind eye to this, what is the difference between that and shielding the murderer?"

The conference room fell into dead silence.

The conflict between the Holy See and Wu Heng was known to all the heroes present.

Things are getting worse and worse. To a certain extent, it is all the Vatican's own fault, while Wu Heng is in a passive position to fight back.

The porcelain cup of the Hongwen Association leader fell on the table with a clang. The sound was not loud but very clear. "The death of the priestess has not been fully investigated yet, but the holy war has been launched. There is no reason for the association to arrest people at this time without any prior communication."

The dwarf leader of the hunters also said: "Don't forget that Claudio and I have guaranteed you on the boat."

The ghost of the religious leader wavered, "Who will defend the dignity of the Church?"

Sitting in the main seat, Hadarai slowly opened his eyes. This man who inherited the title of Sword of Justice and was in charge had an unusually gloomy face.

He glanced at the ghost and said, "The Church launched a holy war against the leader of the association without sufficient reasons. The losses will be borne by the Church. The compensation promised to Wu Heng on the ship has also been prepared by the Church and will be transferred by the association."

"You..." the religious leader was about to speak.

Hadalai's eyes instantly turned to him, "Lilith sent a message that the exiled leader of the blood clan, Zoltan, has returned to the blood clan territory and bluntly stated that it was the Church that leaked the exile's location."

As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the conference room dropped sharply.

The situation has once again escalated to a higher level.

If the problem between the Holy See and Wu Heng is understood as the remaining contradictions between professions.

Then releasing the vampire criminal is still a hero.

It involves scheming against colleagues and colluding with criminals.

The association is always governed by five leaders, corresponding to the five-member team mentioned in the association's tradition.

Although they may have differences due to their positions, race, etc., they are still close teammates.

A companion who faces danger together.

Releasing the previous vampire leader means bringing the danger to Lilith.

"Saidu, you have lost your mind. How could you do such a thing?" The dwarf leader shouted, causing the chandelier to shake violently.

The soul of the religious leader was shaking violently, "Slander! Use your brains to think about it, would I do something to Lilith? The Church is not ashamed to do such a thing."

Seeing the religious leader's angry expression, everyone hesitated again.

After becoming a ghost, his level was lowered, and the other three leaders observed that he did not seem to be lying.

"We will continue to investigate the matter of the Exiles, and the Church must fully cooperate." Hadrayi's eyes continued to fall on the dwarf leader, "Bruno! You will lead your men to the vampire territory to support Lilith later."

The dwarf leader stroked his beard and said, "Okay! I'll set off right away."

The religious leader floated forward and said, "I can guarantee that this was definitely not done by the Church. Is it possible that Wu Heng did it? Lilith has lived in Treasure Island for many years. Wouldn't he think that this is a kind of surveillance?

Moreover, I got some news that Wu Heng knew the location of many exiles and released many vampire exiles before. "

Everyone raised their eyebrows.

The matter was brought back to Wu Heng, but this possibility could not be ruled out.

It is obviously unlikely that Wu Heng could improve so quickly just by following the normal upgrade rules.

If you want to make Lilith leave, or get rid of Lilith in one fell swoop, it is not impossible.

"Once Lilith is done with this matter, it won't be hard to investigate the result." Hadarai continued the topic with the Holy See and Wu Heng. "Regarding Wu Heng's matter, the Holy See will implement the promise it made to Wu Heng. The Association has guaranteed you. The promised gold coins will be prepared in half a month and transferred to Treasure Island by the Association."

"What about the losses of the Holy See? The death of two popes and the reputation accumulated by the Holy See for thousands of years!" The religious leader said, his emotions agitated again, "We can afford the compensation guaranteed by the association, but I also require an investigation into Wu Heng, especially the city of Rentam... How is it possible that his strength has increased so dramatically!"

The leader of the Hongwen Society picked up the cup and drank the tea, and the dwarf rolled his eyes.

Previously, he had used necromancy experiments and human sacrifices to find faults with the other party, and maybe it worked.

But now, Wu Hengdu has become a hero.

Even if they are found out, according to past practice, they will not pursue the matter further, but will only warn the other party to stop these behaviors.

Hadarayi's expression did not change, and he continued, "We will discuss the investigation of Wu Heng later. The first thing we need to do is to help you recover your body, and also to provide support..."

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the air.

A six-eyed raven appeared out of nowhere and landed on the conference table in the middle. Its wings were glowing. It tilted its head to look at everyone, and finally looked at Hadarai.

"The vampire rebellion has been quelled." Raven mimicked, "Wu Heng helped me kill the rebels, no support is needed."

The meeting room was silent.

The ghost of the religious leader was shaking violently, "He is acting..."

Everyone could feel the invisible mockery, as Wu Heng had just released the vampire exile in order to kill Lilith.

In a blink of an eye, new news came.

Wu Heng assisted Lilith and defeated the enemy before the association's reinforcements set off.

Hadarai pierced his fingertips and a drop of blood dripped onto Raven's forehead. "The assistance team will still go there to confirm the post-war arrangements."

The raven flapped its wings and flew into the void.

Hadarai continued, "Bruno, you still have to go. Don't worry. You can leave in the next two days."

"Okay!" The dwarf leader nodded again.

"Let's leave it at this for now, everyone can go about their own business," said Hadarai.

The two heroes stood up and left, leaving only Hadarai and Ghost in the meeting room.

"Hadalai, we are teammates!" the religious leader said in a deep voice.

Hadalai sighed softly, "The Vatican has indeed gone too far. The Body Restoration Association will pay attention to this. You should stop doing anything. This is all I can do."

The religious leader hesitated and did not say the rest of the words.

At this time, the door opened and a priest walked in.

After paying respect to Hadarai, he left with the religious leader, holding the Magic Soul Pot.

……

The religious leader's study.

The magic soul pot was placed on the mahogany desk. The priest saluted the magic soul pot and then left the room.

Saidu's ghost emerged from the magic soul pot and condensed into a human form in mid-air.

"Damn you, kid!" Saidu cursed.

At this moment, his eyes fell on the brand new Treasure Island Express on the table.

The huge headline of the front page in the middle caught my eye.

[The holy war was defeated! The Pope fell, and the religious leader's body was destroyed! ]

The accompanying picture shows a burning and sinking Vatican ship.

"You...!" Saidu's soul twisted violently, and his unstable spirit began to dissipate.

He stretched out his hands to tear up the newspaper, but his translucent hands were unable to grasp any solid objects.

The Magic Soul Pot suddenly generated a powerful suction force, forcibly pulling back his spirit that was about to collapse.

Before being completely sucked back, Saidu's eyes caught sight of a small advertisement below, [Magic Soul Pot Maintenance Package is now on sale! Buy two get one free, limited time offer!]

"Wu Heng, you and I cannot coexist."

……

Foggy city!

On the cloudy streets, obvious moisture can be seen on the corners of walls and the ground.

This place is like the dark clouds before the rainstorm on Treasure Island. You can see things clearly, but the sunlight cannot penetrate the clouds.

After Wu Heng returned to the city with the vampire army, Lilith took his men to carry out the next step.

Without the threat of other heroes, there is no need for Wu Heng to continue following.

So he took the ghost and strolled around the streets.

The lives of ordinary residents do not seem to be affected at all.

Lilith and the middle-aged hero both aimed to become the leader of the blood clan, so they fought away from the city.

Ordinary residents didn't even know what was happening.

"Sir! This is a top-quality ebony coffin!" The coffin shop owner opened a carved coffin attentively. "It has a cashmere cushion inside, so it's soft and comfortable!"

Wu Heng glanced at the velvet lining inside the coffin and waved his hand, "No need."

"Sir, do you need a cane to show your status?" The lady boss of the shop next door greeted enthusiastically, "You are so handsome, this is a perfect match for you, I'll give you 20% off."

"A fine tuxedo, custom made for you..."

Maybe it was because Wu Heng was dressed well and didn't look like a local.

The shop owners along the street all greeted us warmly.

But the style of the vampires is really not in his aesthetic taste. Lilith's dressing style is completely supported by her appearance.

"Everything here is so weird." Xiaoxiao muttered to the side.

Benny said: "I just came out of a tavern. They were selling blood-flavored wine, which was made from the blood of several creatures. It made me feel so uncomfortable~!"

Glenda flew on the other side, "The customs of life are different."

"I wanted to buy some gifts for my mother, but it's like this. I'll get scolded if I buy them back!" Xiao Xiao crossed his arms and said helplessly.

Wu Heng walked forward, his eyes falling on a shop sign [Black Bat Sundry Goods Corner], with 'Various Magical Props' written on the door.

Magic item shop.

"Let's go to the magic props store and have a look." Wu Heng said.

The decoration style inside the store is unusually gloomy.

There are various props hanging on the walls, but the shapes are still in line with the preferences of the vampires.

"What does the sir need? The store has just received a batch of props. I can introduce them to you if you need them." A middle-aged boss came out, his eyes were bloodshot and his manners were very polite.

"Just take a look, don't follow me." Wu Heng said.

"Okay, please feel free to do as you please. Just call me if you need anything." The middle-aged boss walked aside.

Look at each attribute one by one.

A small voice sounded over my shoulder, "Uncle, there is an umbrella over there, the same kind that Sister Lilith has."

Wu Heng looked inside and saw a black parasol hanging on the wall.

【Parasailant】

(Description: A magic item engraved with two array patterns, 'Eclipse' and 'Defense'. It can effectively block the sunlight and deploy a shield when attacked.)

It's similar to Lilith's umbrella, except for the color and shape.

You can see intricate and beautiful patterns on Lilith's umbrella, but the main body of the umbrella is a uniform black.

But the effect is also good, blocking sunlight and providing protection.

"How much is the umbrella?" Wu Heng looked at the boss beside him.

The middle-aged boss, who had been paying attention to this place, immediately smiled and said, "You have good taste, sir. This umbrella is a masterpiece. It can block the sun and defend against arrows and crossbows. It costs 75 silver per umbrella."

The prices of vampires are not cheap.

"I want three of them, and the flaming ring and the protective pendant, 10 of each." Wu Heng looked at the boss again, "Will you give me a discount for buying so many? If not, I'll buy from someone else."

"Help! Since you're buying so many things, I'll definitely give you a discount. I won't let you suffer any loss." The boss immediately smiled.

Then, he immediately began to calculate the price and said, "The total is 975 silver coins, I'll give you 780% off, silver coins!"

"Okay." Wu Heng nodded.

The boss immediately asked someone to prepare it, with a smile on his face.

Soon, the items were packed, Wu Heng paid the corresponding amount, took the items and turned to leave.

……

Return to the middle palace.

The old butler beside Lilith led the way, "The dinner is ready, and the lady is waiting for you to come over."

Walk all the way to the restaurant.

The luminous stones on the copper lampstands create a warm and elegant atmosphere in the restaurant.

After getting used to the electric lights in Treasure Island, the lights here seem much dimmer.

Lilith sat at the head of the long table, her hair falling like a waterfall, standing out against the dark red velvet chair back.

The old butler respectfully pulled out a chair for Wu Heng and whispered, "Considering your eating habits, tonight's dishes have been specially prepared."

The table was filled with exquisite meals.

The ones I recognized were deer steak, foie gras with black truffle sauce, and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.

It seems that the vampires' heavy-tasting food was not served at the dinner.

Xiao Xiao floated over the dining table and said, "Sister, you prepared so many delicious dishes."

"Since you came to support me, I will certainly not treat you unfairly." Lilith chuckled rarely.

"The blood race pursues sensual enjoyment." Lilith continued, "Many nobles still maintain a lifestyle similar to that of humans. Good food and good wine are very popular. It's just that outsiders always misunderstand that we are only bloodthirsty."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

If she hadn't been on the street, Bennie would have seen blood wine being sold in the tavern.

I really believed it.

Lilith turned her head and looked, and the old butler walked to the corner of the restaurant and tapped the huge conch.

Soothing and ethereal music came out of the conch shell and echoed throughout the restaurant.

Xiaoxiao flew over immediately, stuck his head in, and looked around curiously.

"Actually..." Lilith suddenly said, "Zoltan was once my mentor."

Wu Heng slowed down his movements and listened carefully.

"He taught me magic, fighting, and how to survive in the vampire society." Lilith's eyes penetrated the light stone, as if looking into the distant past. "Later, I joined the association and got a new concept. The vampires raised blood slaves and plundered lives everywhere... They were like a barbaric and uncivilized race. In order to save the vampires from the association, I had no choice but to do this..."

It was darker outside the window and brighter in the room.

Xiao Xiao flew back and said, "Don't be sad, sister. You did the right thing. Uncle has helped you get revenge."

Lilith smiled again and suddenly changed the subject, "I'll take you to the Blood Crystal Pool tomorrow."

"Okay!" Xiao Xiao agreed immediately and asked, "What is that for?"

"It's the holy land of the vampires. People who are not core members of the vampires cannot enter." Lilith said mysteriously.

"Really? Then I'll go in invisible." Xiaoxiao was even happier.

"sure."

Wu Heng sat opposite, watching Xiao Xiao and the vampire leader, and became happier and happier as they talked.
