"It is my responsibility. After I learned what Elsa told me, I told my brother without a second thought. The danger she was in was directly related to our Roland family."
Ursula hung her head and answered with difficulty.
She rarely admits her mistakes.
Professor Landry probably no longer trusts her and regards her and her Roland family as enemies. He may not even allow her to contact Elsa anymore, but she will not hide anything.
"Have you ever felt that your brother's personality has changed drastically over a short period of time in the past two years?"
After listening to this, Lanqi's expression remained calm, and he analyzed with his chin in his hand.
"!"
Ursula raised her head suddenly.
She grabbed Lanqi's coat and stared at him, her blue eyes filled with surprise and thousands of unspeakable words.
"You, do you know the reason?"
Ursula didn't understand why the professor still looked at her with trust, and didn't understand why he knew about her brother.
"Let's leave here first and go back to school."
Lanci nodded seriously and said to Ursula.
He felt that Viscount Carmel would be completely subdued in a short while. Next, they had to take Viscount Carmel secretly through the city and then bring him back to the Monastery of St. Clement. They had to be foolproof.
Ursula nodded vigorously.
She was very nervous.
She originally thought that he was just an ordinary professor, but now she is more and more convinced that this professor is full of secrets.
The night was so dark that it could not be dispelled, and the wind was still blowing in the alley.
The wind suddenly became faster, blowing up the hair of several people.
"Do you treat this place as your home? You can come and go as you please?"
Suddenly, a voice appeared at the entrance of the alley without warning, like the whisper of a ghost in the dark night.
Elsa and Ursula looked around in surprise.
Until they followed Professor Landry's gaze.
Only then did I realize that at the end of the distant alley, there was already a person.
The man stood quietly there, his coat fluttering slightly in the wind, almost blending into the surrounding darkness.
The moonlight shone on him, turning him into a cold, clear silhouette.
In the darkness, only the pair of pale blue eyes were exceptionally bright, like two clusters of cold ice flames burning in the darkness.
"Sorry, no offense intended!"
Lanqi probably guessed that it was the owner of this territory who came, and apologized in that direction.
There would be no benefit for them in fighting here.
The seventh-level battle and the sixth-level battle are completely on a different level.
The worst case scenario is that the noise would be so loud that it would attract the attention of the powerful imperial army in the capital.
"..."
The other party did not reply.
He just walked slowly, and the sound of metal friction reached the ears of the three people.
That was the slight sound made by the various knives hanging on his waist, and the cold light was faintly visible in the darkness.
Slowly, the shadow on him finally faded away.
The visitor had short dark grey hair, and his blue eyes were a little cloudy under his sword-like eyebrows, no longer as clear as those of a teenager, and his face looked less than thirty years old.
He was wearing a pure black windbreaker robe with a brown leather corset, a black shirt and vest underneath, and dark red patterns on the cuffs and hem.
He seemed to be able to ignore the terrain and cross any obstacles.
"Barton Hall..."
Ursula immediately thought of this dangerous person in Brillda -
The leader of the Brillda Mafia.
In Brielda, he is the underground emperor of Brielda, feared by smugglers and avoided by the police.
That black cloak and coat are probably filled with specially made magic vibroblades.
"Professor, he is very strong! He used to be a colonel in the empire. After leaving the army, he joined the mafia and became the leader..."
Before she could finish her words, the figure of Mafia leader Patton had already been infinitely magnified in Ursula's eyes.
In the next frame from her perspective, Patton was already very close, and even his movements were silent and without any pre-sway.
His hand was moving towards Viscount Carmel who was held in Lanqi's hand, but was blocked by Lanqi's other hand.
"Colonel Patton, can you please give us a favor? We didn't kill your people, and my sister was also sucked in by space magic. We had no intention of intruding."
Lanci said politely.
"…Don't call me Colonel."
Patton's gaze moved from the vampire viscount to Lanci's hand that was blocking him, and then to Lanci's face. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, with a chilling coldness and determination to win, as if he could see through people's hearts and peel off all disguises.
He didn't use his full strength.
Because he wouldn't accidentally hurt two little girls and a kitten.
The young man who captured the vampire did not seem to have any clear hostility towards him.
"Are you from St. Clement's?"
Patton's gaze stayed on Lanci's face for a while, as if he finally realized why this man called him Colonel.
Professor Landry, today's newspaper of the Empire happened to show him receiving a commendation from the Empire Special Operations Department.
At the foot of the Imperial Special Operations administrative building, several secret service officers cordially met with young Imperial professors in gray coats. They made no secret of their tremendous power and bureaucratic aura.
Since this professor from Saint Clement's Monastery belongs to the Imperial Special Operations Department, he can be considered a military personnel and naturally knows something about the military's past.
"Leave this vampire here. I won't make things difficult for you. You can go now."
Mafia leader Barton put his hand back into his dark cloak and spoke to them.
Chapter 743 Lanqi is targeted by his mother-in-law
Ursula and Elsa looked anxiously at the mafia leader and Professor Landry who were almost in conflict in the dark alley.
Fortunately, they didn't intend to fight each other.
"Meow... The imperial power is unparalleled, the empire's faith meow."
The cat boss read Lanqi's lines to give himself courage. In fact, he wanted to go back into Lanqi's shadow, but he had to protect the two little girls now, so he certainly couldn't be cowardly.
After all, it is one level higher than the mafia leader Patton!
But from what Patton said, he didn't mean to be aggressive.
At present, this guy named Patton is quite easy to talk to. He did not misunderstand them just because of the corpses of mafia gangs on the ground and started to attack them directly without any disagreement.
Considering the time limit for Tata to attack, it is definitely not cost-effective to fight with Barton, a former seventh-level war assassin of the Imperial Army. At least Elsa and Ursula will be in great danger.
It seems that Lanqi's final trump card is still this king cat.
"Mr. Barton, I caught this vampire. I'm sorry I can't give it to you."
Lanci replied politely.
His previous fight with Viscount Carmel had been quite restrained, and he tried to block out as much noise as possible.
The only time that there might have been a strong fluctuation of magic was when Talia broke Viscount Carmel's mechanism and forcibly captured him in order to prevent him from using his power to escape.
Unexpectedly, the mafia leader Barton Hall still noticed them.
"How can you give him to me?"
Patton didn't plan to rob, but asked Lanqi.
But his attitude is clear.
In the worst case scenario today, even if he has to force a purchase, he must keep this vampire and will never let anyone take this vampire out of his port area.
"This really can't be traded, but can you tell me, Mr. Barton, what do you want it for?"
Lanqi felt that Patton was not someone who could not communicate.
At least he is much easier to communicate with than Nikolai the Red Falcon, who is also an imperial soldier.
Nicholas the Red Falcon would negotiate with the other party with a skeptical attitude first, while Patton would hold an attitude of believing first. Of course, it might also be because he had taken action against the vampires, which made Patton roughly convinced that he was not an accomplice of the vampires.
"..."
Mafia leader Patton fell silent.
"Mr. Patton, if we fight here, it will undoubtedly be a lose-lose situation, so I hope that no matter what, we can solve the problem through communication instead of using force. Although we have just met, we can take our time to trust each other. If you are not willing to trust me, I can trust you first."
Lanci said sincerely.
Viscount Carmel was not only the first vampire he captured in the Kreming Empire, possessing irreplaceable intelligence value, but more importantly, this vampire had a seven-digit killing record.
Lanqi wants to transform this vampire and give it to Hyperion. Hyperion will definitely be happy.
"Are you sure Hyperion will like this gift?"
Talia felt that although she didn't quite understand human merits, she certainly wouldn't want a fully automatic merit-printing machine. She was not sure whether this machine added merits or deducted merits.
When she slept with Hyperion in the past, Talia always heard Hyperion talking in her sleep, "Goddess, please don't deduct my merits anymore...", "Lanqi, please be frugal...", "Wow, I really don't have any merits left...", which made Talia feel very sad.
As a devout believer in the goddess of fate, Hyperion firmly believes that merit and luck are related, because when she was a child, whenever she did bad things, her luck would become particularly bad, and whenever she did good things, her luck would get better.
Kotalia felt that it was very likely that Duke Migaia had someone artificially controlled Hyperion's "luck" when Hyperion was a child.
If Hyperion thought that this was deducting merit, she might cry, because she was not superstitious, she truly believed like a child.
