Chapter 188 38 Caught Them

Chapter 188 -38- Caught them

Repulse Street, Outer District, North Hong Kong Island.

Outside the tall city wall, low and dense buildings were built against the city wall, forming a crooked street on the water. Narrow and agile boats shuttled on the water, and ragged boatmen held the boat poles hard and shouted to attract customers.

Next to the waterway, in a simple civilian hotel.

In the guest room built near the water, a bright light flashed, and a huge circular magic circle emerged in the void. Two embarrassed figures, one tall and one short, swayed slightly and fell out of the magic circle.

They landed hard and came into close contact with the damp wooden floor. They hit the ground with a bang. For a moment, the whole room trembled slightly, as if it would collapse at any time.

It was none other than the vampire girl Agnes and the middle-aged knight Rahel.

The two looked quite embarrassed.

Agnes looked pale and looked like she had exhausted her magic power, while Rahel was even worse, with blood stains on his body and a large dent in the armor on his chest.

As soon as she landed, Agnes limped up and quickly came to Rahel, saying with an anxious and worried look on her face:

"Rahel! How are you? How is your wound?"

"Ahem... I can't die for the time being."

Rahel coughed violently several times and said weakly.

After finishing speaking, he said apologetically:

"Miss... I seem to have forgotten our land deed to the Mercenary Association..."

"How long have you been talking about the land deed? If it's gone, it's gone! Anyway, we've been exposed and can't go back. Stop the bleeding and heal your wounds! I'll help you up and drink the blood!"

"Damn it, I knew there wasn't even anything to stop bleeding in this cheap hotel!"

Agnes cursed while groping in the guest room.

The next second, the door to the guest room was pushed open with a bang from the outside, startling Agnes.

She cautiously picked up the weapon on the ground and looked at the crooked wooden door, only to see a chubby-looking woman poke her head in and yell in a sharp voice:

"What are you so noisy about?! What will you do if you disturb the neighbors?!"

"Be gentle! I don't know how to be gentle?! I damaged my guest room, can you afford to pay for it?"

However, as soon as the woman finished speaking, her eyes met with the embarrassed Agnes.

Seeing the blood-stained two people, she was stunned for a moment, and then quickly closed the door.

The sharp and cursing voice gradually faded away outside the door:

"Damn it! Mercenaries are barbaric! Old man! Next time you dare to accept the rent from a mercenary, I will break your legs!"

"Double! The room rate must be doubled!"

"Ahem...Miss, who is it?"

Rahel coughed violently and clenched the hilt of the sword warily.

"Don't worry, it's the proprietress of the hotel, and... don't hold the hilt of your sword, your sword is already broken."

Agnes said.

Rahel looked down at the sword that was chopped into pieces by the elf's sword when he just fought with him, and fell into silence.

After a few seconds, he sighed softly and said in a complicated voice:

"It's only been a few days since I last saw him, and he...seems to be getting stronger again."

"Okay! It doesn't matter if he is strong or not! Drink the blood first! Let's get out of here as soon as we recover!"

Agnes brought the blood bag to Rahel and said.

Rahel obediently took the blood bag and drank it. As the blood entered his mouth, his face gradually returned to color.

And after a while, the chubby hotel proprietress came back.

Looking at the landlady looking at the two of them curiously, Agnes blocked the middle-aged knight who was drinking blood and said warily:

"We will pay the room fee properly, please go out now."

The landlady snorted, threw a bulging bag of things to the ground, and cursed:

"Double it! It must be doubled! Don't die in my hotel, I still have to do business!"

After saying that, she left again.

Agnes picked up the package dropped by the other party in confusion, but was slightly stunned soon after.

"Miss...what is it?"

Rahel asked weakly.

"do not move……"

Agnes stopped his violent movements, then pursed her lips and softened her voice:

"It's linen for bandaging and herbs to stop bleeding..."

With the linen brought by the landlady, Agnes simply bandaged Rahel's wound.

Although theoretically a vampire can heal any injury as long as he has enough extraordinary blood, their inventory is not much to begin with, and the blood pack has already bottomed out at this moment.

Although the deterioration of the injury has been stopped, Rahel's condition is still not good, and he may not be able to fight again in the short term.

"I'm sorry, Miss...I've made you worry again."

Looking at the worried girl who was bandaging her wounds, Rahel said apologetically.

Agnes shook her head and said:

"No... today is my fault, it's all my responsibility. I didn't expect that I would actually meet her..."

"No, I should have thought of it a long time ago! There is a banquet the day after tomorrow, and she will definitely be back by this time!"

"Damn it! Why are we so unlucky! We can meet her even when we go to sell a house!"

Agnes cursed and greeted all eighteen generations of Castel's ancestors.

However, she didn't wait long before she heard a loud noise coming from the waterway.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she cautiously came to the window. Looking outside, she saw several long boats belonging to the city guard rowing across the water in the distance, carrying heavily armed guards.

Agnes's expression suddenly changed slightly:

"The guards were dispatched so soon?"

"No! They know we're still in the city!"

"Rahiel! Quick! We need to get out of here as soon as possible!"

However, the middle-aged knight did not act.

"Rahiel?"

Agnes repeated.

Looking at his injuries, Rahel sighed:

"Miss, please go first. I am too seriously injured and will drag you down."

"Bullshit! Let me help you up and let's walk together!"

Agnes said.

But the next moment, the door was opened from the outside again, and the proprietress's chubby head poked in again.

Agnes looked at the other party warily, and the other party also looked at her in surprise:

"The City Guards are searching for a man and a woman, are you?"

Agnes:…

"Have you committed a crime?"

Agnes:…

Looking at the gossipy landlady, Agnes became more and more wary, but the next moment, she saw the other party took out two more tattered cloaks and threw them to them:

"Take cover and escape through the back door! There is a boat over there that can leave North Port."

Agnes was stunned:

"You...are helping us?"

"Why do you want to help us?"

But the landlady said:

"Castle won't give us people a way to survive. Their family has a big business and no one can afford to offend them, but... the guys who go against them are worthy of admiration!"

Agnes pursed her lips:

"Thanks……"

"Okay, okay! Let's go! The pursuers will be here soon!"

The landlady waved.

…

The entrance to Qianshui Street.

Charlotte stood on the long boat, looking at the dense and messy low buildings in front of her, with an inexplicable expression:

"Is Beigang, a city on the water that is famous for its affluence, such a dilapidated place?"

Beside her, Sebas looked around and felt a little emotional:

"Qianshui Street, Beigang's famous slum, has not changed much in the past ten years. No, it seems to have expanded a bit."

"The slums...all I see along the way is the wealth of Castres. I thought there was no such place in North Port."

"Master, it is impossible for a city to exist without slums. There are rich people and there are naturally poor people. This is normal."

"Is this normal..."

Charlotte couldn't help but repeat it, obviously not satisfied with this statement.

Soon, several fully armed guards came to her in a long boat, bowed respectfully, and said:

"Your Majesty, Earl, we have surrounded Qianshui Street and are now searching for the prisoner's whereabouts from house to house."

Charlotte nodded slightly, but suddenly heard a sharp voice coming from not far away:

"Hey, hey! What are you guards doing? What if you damage my house?"

"There is no suspicious person! I told you, there is no suspicious person here!"

Attracted by the sound, Charlotte looked away and saw a chubby woman standing in front of the guards in front of a shabby hotel not far away, yelling angrily.

Around her, there were many tenants watching the excitement, many of whom were free mercenaries at the bottom.

Although he was watching the excitement, the eyes he looked at the guards were wary and hostile.

Charlotte looked around.

With the influx of guards, many residents stuck their heads out to watch the excitement on both sides of the waterway in Qianshui Street.

With her keen spiritual sense, Charlotte could clearly sense the fear, wariness and hostility contained in that gaze.

Just like she had just entered the Castel Territory.

However, unlike then, she did not reveal her identity as the Castel family now, and this... was not the territory of one of those affiliated nobles.

The people here became wary just by seeing the city guards representing the Castel family.

"They... don't seem to welcome us?"

Charlotte asked softly as her eyes slowly swept around.

"My lord, the people living in the slums are all unruly people! These guys are disobedient, disrupt public order, often harbor prisoners, and have never welcomed us!"

said one of the guards.

After hearing what he said, the other guards nodded, obviously agreeing.

However, Charlotte frowned slightly.

Obviously, she was not satisfied with this statement.

After closing her eyes again and mobilizing the Blood Sacred Scripture, Charlotte used the "Blood Summoning" to sense something, and then slowly opened her eyes:

"Found them."

"However, they are no longer here."

After saying that, her eyes fell on the civilians on Qianshui Street who were arguing with the guards. She sighed softly and said to Sebas beside her:

"Let's go, let's catch him ourselves."

"If this continues, people will really run away after a while."

…

Outside Qianshui Street.

Agnes was wearing a cloak, holding on to the pole of the boat, looking at the North Port that was gradually receding behind her, and breathed a long sigh of relief:

"Phew, finally escaped."

"Fortunately, there is a long boat provided by the landlady, otherwise... we would really be stuck in Beigang today."

After saying that, she was a little gloating:

"La Haier, it seems that the Castel family is not as popular in the North as the legend says! Did you see it just now? Knowing that they are hunting us, many people are covering for us!"

"I'm afraid the rumors are true. Most of the people in Castel are very dissatisfied with the little earl who has sided with the church. I think it won't be long before she will be driven out of Castel by the people like the former Earl of Tulip!"

Agnès laughed and felt much better.

But the next second, she heard a familiar voice coming from the back of the longboat:

"Oh? Drive out of Castel?"

The voice was a little childish and a little nice, but it was emotionless.

Agnès froze slightly.

She turned her head stiffly, and then her pupils shrank. She saw that since some time, there were two figures at the stern of the longboat.

A beautiful blonde girl in a black and white dress with an expressionless face.

And a tuxedo elf butler standing beside her, holding an umbrella for her.

Agnes instantly exploded and shouted:

"La Hail! Quick! Transfer!"

After saying that, she threw the pole in her hand at the two people at the stern, and then took out another scroll from her arms and was about to tear it into pieces.

However, before she could act, Sebastian's figure had flashed in front of her and snatched the scroll from her hand.

Looking at the complicated scroll, Sebastian raised his eyebrows:

"Instant teleportation scroll? Miss Agnes, using this when your magic power is almost exhausted is quite dangerous. If you are not careful, you may get lost in the different space."

"Miss!"

La Hail exclaimed.

He gritted his teeth, picked up the broken sword at hand, and rushed towards Sebastian with a roar. His whole body was surging with source power, and he seemed to want to fight desperately, but he was soon chopped down by Sebastian with a knife.

He was already seriously injured, and he was no match for Sebastian at all, and was easily controlled by Sebastian.

"La Hail!"

Seeing the captured middle-aged knight, Agnes shouted anxiously.

But the next moment, she was locked up by the magic-forbidden chains summoned by Sebastian with a snap of his fingers, and was tied up with the middle-aged knight, and even her mouth was blocked.

"Master, we caught them."

Sebastian dragged the struggling girl to Charlotte and said respectfully.

"Well, take them back to the Earl's Mansion, I want to interrogate them personally."

Charlotte glanced at the vampire girl who glared at her and nodded slightly.

Although the two vampires were successfully captured, Charlotte was not in a good mood.

Recalling the hostility of the residents just now in Shallow Water Street, Charlotte suddenly felt that the colorful North Port did not seem as glamorous as she looked on the surface.

A glimpse of the leopard in the tube, a small view of the big, the various situations seen in this episode of arresting the two people made her vaguely feel a hint of undercurrents under the calm.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Turning back, taking a deep look at Shallow Water Street behind her, Charlotte said.
