Chapter 169: Dekan Strongly Condemns Morion |
Morion unhurriedly made up a story.
He, Morion, dared to tell it, and she, Countess Lilislina, dared to listen.
“Resurrection Church?”
Countess Lilislina was slightly puzzled. She had never heard of such an organization in all these years.
“Hehe, you’ve been outside all these years, yet your intelligence is less informed than a vampire like me who has been sealed for a hundred years?”
Morion’s chin lifted slightly, and his voice became a fraction colder.
“No! Lord Marquis! I have done my utmost to save you, please believe in my efforts! I truly have not found any trace of this organization!”
Lilislina’s hand was on her chest, her expression full of sincerity and sorrow as she looked at Morion.
“……”
“I’m sorry, Lilislina, my nerves are too tense. I know you are the only blood relative in this world that I can trust.”
Morion said with some self-blame, the coldness in his eyes also faded a little, as if revealing a tenderness that should not belong to that cold Marquis.
But soon, he returned to his cold expression, as if trying to hide the emotion he had just revealed.
However, all of this was seen by Countess Lilislina.
Her heartbeat seemed to have become clearer in this silent night.
“Lord Marquis, I, I will not question anything you say again.”
After a long while, Lilislina knelt on one knee before Morion, her head bowed deeply as she spoke.
“No, your caution is correct. After all, humans are too cunning. A slight carelessness and we might fall into their trap.”
Morion seemed to be getting more and more into his role, so much so that Dekan couldn’t help but glance at him.
For a moment, Dekan even suspected if this guy had really stopped being human.
Morion slowly walked to Lilislina, half-squatted down, and then helped her up.
“Lilislina, the Resurrection Church is undoubtedly a great enemy of our vampire race. They are a secret society originating from the southern city-state, extremely good at lurking. It’s normal that you couldn’t find them.”
At this point, Morion’s tone changed.
“But, I want to ask if you have had any unexpected gains in the city-state these two days?”
“Yes, I caught 2 humans who wanted to investigate us last night and tonight respectively.”
Lilislina answered, looking into Morion’s eyes.
“Very good, then there are still five fish that have escaped the net. Even without my prompt, you have successfully caught the people from the Resurrection Church. Isn’t that doing very well?”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Morion’s mouth.
“I don’t deserve the praise…”
Although Lilislina spoke humbly, the joy in her heart was hard to hide.
“Hehe, if you have left them alive, remember to ask them about the four words ‘Resurrection Church.’ I’m sure their expressions will be very wonderful.”
“Yes, Lord Marquis.”
“Then you can discuss the specific search plan with my familiar. After all, a demon like him is better at interrogating and searching for humans.”
Morion waved his hand, as if he couldn’t be bothered with the situation here anymore, and walked to the window of the corridor, looking at the faintly visible moon in the sky.
In the dim corridor, the moonlight shone through the curtains, making Morion’s slightly pale face seem as if it were carved from moonlight.
The expression he showed was not pride, but sorrow or depth.
At this time, if he were given a glass of red wine, it would be even more classy.
Dekan looked at Morion like this, and even suspected that this guy was overacting.
Or perhaps Morion had just gotten a perfect role…
Dekan looked at Countess Lilislina helplessly.
Morion had dumped the work on Dekan, so Dekan would have to explain the search plan to the countess next.
However, Dekan found that the countess was in no hurry to discuss the plan at all.
She was just staring at Morion’s figure with some obsession, her expression not hiding her worship and admiration at all.
A dignified Vampire Countess now looked like a young girl with a fluttering heart.
But from what Lilislina had said earlier, she seemed to have admired Marquis Roderick for a long time.
After meeting the Marquis again after several hundred years, he was still so powerful and steady.
Cold and at the same time showing her a little warmth from time to time.
Countess Lilislina could be said to have already fallen for him.
Dekan couldn’t help but sigh. If they followed the normal path of clearing the Shadow World, and if they messed up in the end and let Marquis Roderick escape, then these two vampires would be particularly an eyesore.
If the Shadow World was cleared unsuccessfully, I’m afraid these two vampires would have ended up as a couple.
It could only be said that Morion had done all sorts of bad things, deceiving the feelings of a little girl who was several hundred years old.
Dekan expressed his strong condemnation for this kind of behavior.
“Ahem, Lady Lilislina, we still need to trouble you to assist us in capturing the Resurrection Church members.”
Dekan bowed elegantly like a demon butler and said.
“Oh, okay, please speak.”
Lilislina quickly came back to her senses.
“The plan is simple. Please have this female familiar of yours pretend to be seriously injured and then flee in the city.”
Dekan pointed to the only female familiar under Countess Lilislina’s command.
“Then order the city lord to send a large number of weaker knights to chase her. Once someone helps, invite them to the lord’s mansion.”
“On the premise of not causing too much commotion, expand the scope of the chase and escape as much as possible, so that all the experts in the entire city-state have a chance to detect this commotion.”
Dekan finished explaining his plan.
This made Countess Lilislina frown slightly.
The plan mentioned by this demon familiar was more or less the same as the plan she was originally carrying out.
There was only a slight difference in the first step—
Dekan had chosen a female vampire familiar as bait, and also wanted her to pretend to be weak.
“No problem, but whether we can catch any more enemies tonight depends on luck.”
Countess Lilislina responded.
“Hehe, don’t worry. Even if we can’t catch all five of them, we shouldn’t come back empty-handed. Everything is within the Marquis' plan.”
“Okay, then I’ll go prepare.”
Originally, Lilislina wanted to continue asking Dekan if there were any other backup plans, but when she heard that it was “the Marquis' plan,” she didn’t dare to continue asking even if she was extremely curious.
“After catching these humans, don’t be in a hurry to kill them. Let us interrogate them first.”
Dekan added.
After all, there was a small probability of accidentally running into normal challengers, so it was still necessary to check.
“Then without further ado, I will go and carry out the plan, and have the lord prepare a bedroom for you.”
Countess Lilislina responded.
“One room is enough. I am still very weak now, and my familiars need to stay by my side.”
Morion finally spoke again.
After all, they were playing with fire in the enemy’s headquarters now, so the team still had to all live together to rest in shifts with peace of mind.
