Chips stained with blood.
Shocking, bright red playing cards.
There was also the young man's ferocious and crazy smile, and his desperate roar.
Augurola covered her red lips, slightly distracted.
It was not until she had read all the contents of the crystal ball that she finally learned the truth.
"So, that's how it is... No wonder, I was wondering how they got the feather of the Goddess of Light. It turns out that they went to explore the Bright Ridge together, and later divided up the Frostian family together. Strange, why would the Frostian family suddenly want to resurrect Gaius?"
Augurola murmured softly, "So, which damn idiot persuaded the Benson family to seize the feather? If I'm not mistaken, it must be Abraham. He is the only one who has not been completely sealed."
Abraham, the young patriarch.
There was a strong murderous intent in Augurola's beautiful eyes, and they were scarlet and terrifying.
The anger brewed in his chest and turned into actual murderous intent.
But the next moment, she suddenly smiled.
"Are you going to quarrel with me just because of this? Haha, how cute."
Augurola took out the communication mirror and injected magic into it: "Chloe, speak."
In the communication mirror, Chloe said respectfully: "Your Highness, please give your orders."
"Select six new members of the tribe, including you, and prepare the alchemical matrix and corresponding materials according to the Cain Blood Covenant. I will allow you to be promoted from vampires to new ancestors." Augurola only said this sentence and then cut off the communication.
She squatted down, picked up the glowing crystal ball, and stared at the boy in the light and shadow.
"What a tsundere! They're just a bunch of trash. I'll just kill them all."
She raised a smile on her lips: "As long as you are happy."
Chapter 221 Black stockings or fishnet stockings
Licinius walked out of the ruins and saw a beautiful woman with long silver-gray hair guarding the door.
"Mr. Valerius?"
Seeing that he was safe, Jeanna's tense face relaxed a little, and she asked softly, "Just now I saw Augurola rushing in. Well, she has returned to the demigod realm and has been promoted to the seventh level."
She pointed at the black liquid spreading underground and said, "I don't know what she is doing here. If she wanted to, she would have killed Crazy Lion and I just now."
"Really? Why didn't I see her? Maybe she went to Tarot Room. But Tarot Room has fallen into a deep sleep again. No matter what she wants to do, she is doomed to fail. Don't worry." Li Xini looked around and found that there was only black liquid everywhere on the ground.
Salvatore and the Archduke of the Lion were both killed in seconds, their souls no longer existing.
So miserable…
Licinius squatted down, raised his hand and pressed it on the dark liquid, absorbing it completely.
The over-consumed power of the fallen angel was replenished again.
"Your ability is really weird."
Jeanne looked at him deeply. Even she felt that this dark and sticky liquid was weird and ominous.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the legendary evil spirit power.
A strange product that emerged from a forbidden land.
However, this young man seemed to have the means to contain him.
This is truly a mysterious boy.
Jeanne recalled the time when he, as an alchemist, fought hand-to-hand with a mad lion.
It feels like I'm dreaming.
You call this an alchemist
"It's just a side trick of alchemy. Compared with a demigod, it's insignificant."
Licinius said with emotion: "Helping Augurola become a demigod was originally part of today's plan. Although you are also a member of the Holy See, I think the Inquisition and the Crescent Moon Church are completely different factions, right? Otherwise, they would not join forces with the Dusk Monastery for any reason."
Jeanne was silent for a second. "This matter has nothing to do with the Inquisition. I don't really approve of genocide. But if the Original Family is also resurrected, they will be my enemies."
Li Xini was quite surprised: "Miss Jeanna also has prejudices against the Original Family?"
“It’s more than just prejudice.”
Jeanna said coldly, "This group of people are cruel, greedy, eccentric, and have extremely strong anti-social and even anti-human personalities. During the heyday of the Original Family, they transformed half of the country's humans into vampires and became their followers. There is also a notorious ritual called the Blood Feast."
Li Xini thought seriously for a moment: "Sucking blood?"
"During a blood feast, there will be hundreds to thousands of ordinary people who are used as food by them."
Jeanna said coldly, "Most of these people are young and beautiful women. Some are newly married, some are newly mothers, some are 17 or 18 years old and in their prime, and there are even girls as young as 6 or 7 years old. They will all be hypnotized by the Original Family and become their food."
"In the past few years, they have held a total of thirty blood feasts."
She paused and said, "Can you calculate how many people will be sacrificed?"
Her eyes were gloomy because her two nieces happened to be the favorite food of that group of people.
Li Xini felt very uncomfortable: "Augurola would also participate in this kind of thing?"
Jeanna shook her head. "No, she is one of the few people in the Original Family who can control her desires. Every day, people are willing to donate blood to her. As far as I know, she will not kill anyone just to suck blood. Otherwise, when I first met her in the Ancient City of Hera, we would have fought to the death."
"That's not bad. With Grandpa Hodel and the director here, even if the Original Family is resurrected, they won't have the guts to mess around in the royal capital." Li Xini felt inexplicably complicated when he heard this.
I don't know why, but I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the original family, it doesn’t matter.
Those people didn't live long enough to see their blood feast.
However, when he thought about having to become an enemy of that vampire, he felt a little scalp-tingling.
Whether we can win is another matter.
The main thing is that standing on the opposite side of that woman is a very sad thing in itself.
Especially since the woman had just thought about winning him back.
"The last time I met Augurola, she was still with Xiao."
Jeanna said, "Oh, you were not in the ancient city of Hera at the time, so you don't know about this."
Licinius thought, No, I was right in front of you and I shot you.
Jeanna pondered for a moment and said faintly, "I don't know whether it is right or wrong for you, the Brentanian Empire, to help Augurola advance to the seventh level. I only know that if the Empire loses tonight, many innocent people will undoubtedly die. This is the only reason why I cooperate with you."
"The world of warlocks is so cruel. Innocent ordinary people always become victims of warlocks' fights. I want to change all this, but my ability is insufficient and there is only so much I can do."
She lowered her beautiful eyes and said, "Just like tonight, even though we have done almost everything we can, a large number of lives were still slaughtered, awakening the rules between the Tarot cards."
Licinius raised his head. Blood was still seeping out of the ground and pouring into the abandoned ancient ship.
There is no doubt that countless people died on the surface tonight.
At this moment, the space suddenly twisted into a vortex, and several figures descended into the ruins.
Bakar carried a big sword, looking majestic and murderous.
Alan and Lista followed behind him, looking at the old senior with admiration, both respect and awe.
"Senior Bakar, thank you for your hard work." Li Xini said with a smile.
"No, it's you who are really working hard, Master Licinius."
Bakar grinned, smiling grimly: "Fortunately, the mission was accomplished and the plan was completed very smoothly."
Licinius breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.
Jeanna obviously had no idea what their conversation meant, so she turned to look at the two heroes: "What are the casualties tonight? How many combat forces did Dusk Monastery dispatch? How many innocent civilians died?"
Allen and Lisda looked at each other and replied, "Zero..."
Jeanna was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Zero?"
How can this be.
"This is the magic of old Dean Hodel, the ability to fool fate. He changed the fate of the civilians in District 6 and saved them from being massacred. Of course, many people did die tonight."
Bakar explained, "But those who died were all, without exception, serious criminals who had been imprisoned in the capital over the years. They died in place of the civilians of District 6. It's that simple."
Of course, tonight, whether it is the Night Watch, the Authority, or the Inquisition.
Everyone offered help.
Including Bakar himself, he rushed to the front battlefield only after killing a large number of enemies.
As Licinius said before.
A victory gained at the expense of innocent people is never a victory.
The reason why the strong are strong is to protect the weak.
A smile played upon Licinius' lips.
Alessandro once said that the old abbot was a dreaded executioner, and was essentially no different from the members of the Twilight Monastery, and he did not care about the lives of civilians.
However, he chose to believe the old man.
As it turned out, he was not wrong.
Jeanna's full breasts rose and fell slightly, and she said nothing.
"Miss Jeanne, you are not trying to say that the life of a criminal is also a life, right?" Li Xini said with a smile.
"Do you think I'm one of those stupid politicians from the Vatican?"
Jeanna snorted, and a rare hint of tenderness appeared in her stern eyes. She replied, "Trading the lives of those criminals for the lives of the civilians is a good deal no matter how you look at it, right?"
Moreover, by the end of this wave, all the serious criminals in the royal capital will probably be dead.
The empire's finances also alleviated pressure in disguise.
This wave belongs to the atmosphere.
Li Xini extended his right hand: "It is a pleasure to work with you, Miss Jeanna."
Jeanne glanced at him, stretched out her delicate hand, and shook his in friendship.
"If you have time, you are welcome to visit my home."
Licinius smiled and said, "I will fulfill my promise and explain to you everything I know, as well as the overall plan of the Twilight Monastery."
Nami was silent for a moment before she said softly, "Thank you. I will keep your affairs a secret as well."
The next moment, Licinius fell on his back, like a lifeless corpse.
thump…
Jeanne was startled: "Mr. Valerius?"
"Ah, please don't worry, this is normal, normal." Bakar hurriedly helped the boy up. This was the backlash of using the power of the dead.
After all, Bakar is a sixth-level being and was once a demigod.
The energy required for his battle must be enormous.
It is not easy for Master Li Xini to hold on for so long this time.

Under the blood moon, the ancestors dressed in gorgeous clothes walked leisurely on the quiet street.
Singing bloody hymns and dancing gracefully.
Comfortable and happy.
Some of them were holding a bottle of red wine.
Some people held a bright red rose.
There was also a wine glass with blood swaying in it, which tasted bloody and sweet.
"I haven't been out to see the world for so many years. I didn't expect it to have changed so much."
Abraham, the young ancestor, said with emotion: "This is no longer our era. The collective revival of the ancestral family cannot even hold a blood feast."
