Philip's harassment did not stop until he left Genoa.
Phillip would carry out sneak attacks with various monsters after midnight every day.
Some were driven by him, and some were provoked by him and caused trouble.
All in all, it may be a monster, a strange creature, or a creature from the dark world.
Anyway, Phillip took the trouble to bring them to Nok and the others if they could be used.
Nok and his gang faced it calmly from the beginning,
He ran away in embarrassment at the back, which can be said to have suffered a lot.
Knock was also annoyed by Phillip's nonsense.
Knock avoided Richelieu and Shakespeare, and blessed the weapons of Roger Fite and the other three with the Holy Light attribute.
Then he secretly gave each of the three people a piece of holy water that had been blessed with seventh-level magic.
In the end, he secretly gave Rhodes the portable dagger that had been soaked in holy light.
Let Rhodes seize the opportunity and kill Phillip directly!
Regardless of whether he has anything to do with the church or not, let alone him practicing with an old priest.
Even if Philip is now a priest registered with the church, Knock will kill him!
Knock, want to ambush Philip!
Although Nock did this behind Richelieu's back, Richelieu soon learned about it.
Naturally, I understood what Nok was thinking.
Nock didn't want to hide it from Richelieu at all, otherwise he wouldn't have told Roger Fitt the plan.
He just didn't want Richelieu to interfere with his command, but wanted Richelieu to cooperate with Knock's plan.
But saying it face to face would be bad for both Nock and Richelieu.
The status of the two is equal now, and Richelieu may be higher in the future.
It was not easy for Nok to command him directly.
He could only use Roger Fit's mouth to tell Richelieu his plan and ask Richelieu to cooperate.
In this way, there is no matter who orders whom, but only active cooperation.
Of course, Nock did not forget to test Shakespeare again.
Everyone is in a state of embarrassment due to the harassment and attacks these days, but Shakespeare is so embarrassed.
He is actually just like everyone else.
Others may not notice the difference, but Nok has been paying attention to him, so it is impossible not to notice it.
Although I had known that Shakespeare was capable, he should also be a good professional.
But I didn't expect that his strength was even more advanced than Rhodes and others.
The embarrassment of Nock and others is real, but Shakespeare's embarrassment is pretended.
This is something Nock thinks he can't even do.
Of course, it's also possible that Knock was the main target, and Shakespeare didn't have much of a presence.
Philip doesn't intend to hurt innocent people...
Well, Nock felt that this forced explanation was a bit self-deceiving.
Even if Phillip doesn't want to hurt innocent people, the attracted magical beasts and dark creatures will never take this into consideration.
Aren't you going to cause trouble for Shakespeare?
Not to mention the weirdness that just wanted to destroy everything.
As the sun set, Knock's men, who had been chased for several days, finally left the Kingdom of Genoa.
Saw the first village.
This is a border village of the Principality of Ferrara, a subsidiary principality of the Holy Empire.
The border is no longer fortified.
Because no one can defeat it, not to mention that Genoa’s strength is not even as good as Ferrara, even if it is called a kingdom,
But its strength is not even as good as that of the principality.
When a country is so poor that even its application for annexation to another country is rejected, you can imagine how weak its national strength is.
All in all, as a subsidiary principality of the Holy Empire, the Principality of Ferrara is not afraid of being invaded at all.
Even if we surrender today, the Holy Empire’s army will not arrive tomorrow.
The Holy Cross Legion of the Holy Court had already come to end the battle.
At the gate of the Holy Court, no one dared to attack these subordinate principalities.
So much so that Ferrara directly abolished the border guards and assigned all the troops to domestic lords.
Let them form their own private army to guard their territory,
When the day comes that an army is really needed, the Grand Duke can directly summon the private army of the lords in the Duke.
It must be said that the Grand Duke of Ferrara had a very serious plan.
But there is no way. It is said that the Archduke's aunt, when the contemporary Pope was still a cardinal,
She was already the Pope's lover, and later gave birth to a child, so...
Of course, rumors are all without evidence.
Anyway, those who believe will naturally believe, and those who don’t believe also believe under the iron heel of the Crusaders in the Holy Court.
This non-defensive policy of the Archduke of Ferrara led to Nok and others being pursued by Philip all the way from Genoa.
Entering Ferrara without attracting anyone's attention.
Nok and the others couldn't even ask for help.
Because the border is undefended, the citizens of Ferrara are unwilling to live in areas close to the border.
After all, neighboring countries did not dare to attack Ferrara, but they pretended to be thieves and crossed the border to rob.
Still dare.
Therefore, the nearest village to the border is three days away.
It was only three days after Nok and others entered Ferrara that they saw the village for the first time.
When I saw the village, I immediately became excited.
This is a very ordinary village.
The village is surrounded by vast fields where wheat, corn and other grains are grown.
The fields are dotted with vineyards and olive groves, and in the center of the village, the roof of the church can be seen in the distance.
The church is also the tallest building in the village and should be considered a landmark building.
Approaching the village, the prosperity of the village surprised Nok and others.
Unlike the poverty in Genoa, the villages here are actually houses built with stone.
From the outside, most of the houses in the village are built of stone and adobe bricks.
They have steep roofs and narrow windows.
The level of prosperity is no worse than that of the small towns in the Kingdom of Genoa.
"who!"
The guard at the village gate looked at the approaching carriage and stepped forward to block it.
The matter of negotiation was left to Shakespeare, who claimed to be familiar with the customs and customs of various countries.
After negotiation with Shakespeare's sharp tongue,
Nok and his party successfully entered the village.
But this time, Nok and others went to the village chief to stay overnight without concealing their identities.
Instead, he went directly to the church, indicating that he was a candidate for cardinalship heading to the Holy Court.
Lived in the church.
Because Nok and others were not sure whether the vampire would continue to hunt them after escaping into the village.
In order to avoid involving the villagers, living in a church is the best choice.
Even if that guy really attacks the village frantically, with the church as a line of defense,
It can also rescue villagers in time and take refuge in the church.
Unless there is an army of darkness attacking the village at all costs.
Otherwise there are villages sheltered by churches,
Not that easy to break.
This point is naturally related to the secrets of the church, so let’s not mention it for now.
The priest in charge of the church was surprised when he learned that Richelieu was actually a candidate for cardinal in the Kingdom of France.
You know, Ferrara is adjacent to the territory of the Papal State managed by the Holy Court.
If there is any news from the Holy Court, not only is it first-hand news, but they also know it earlier than other countries in the mainland.
This time the cardinal election is to select the cardinal who will take office in the Kingdom of France.
Now that the candidate from the Kingdom of France is here, he is naturally the one with a higher winning rate.
The priest did not dare to neglect and received Richelieu personally.
Nock adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile and concealed his identity, claiming only to be a priest under Richelieu.
Richelieu did not criticize this.
The current situation between the two of them is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface.
One light and one dark, there are advantages to being low-key.
Especially the things they did along the way should have fermented.
It is only a matter of time before it reaches the Holy Court.
At that time, the storm that will arise will be the real test for the two of them.
If they can ride the wind and waves, the two of them will naturally have a bright future.
But if the ship is sunk by wind and waves, there will be no future for the two of them.
Therefore, the closer they get to the Holy Court, the more cautious they act.
Under the warm hospitality of the church priest,
After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Nock and others also learned a lot of useful information from the priest.
For example, there are still nearly two months until the official selection time for cardinals.
As long as you go all the way south, you can cross the border of the Principality of Ferrara in about a week.
Entering the jurisdiction of the Holy Court - the Papal State.
If you continue walking along the coastline for about two weeks, you will reach the city of Santa Rome, where the Holy Court is located.
Calculated this way, there is plenty of time.
The weather is getting colder and colder, winter has come,
I just don’t know when the first snow will fall in the south.
However, according to the priest, even if it snows, it will not affect the schedule of Nok and others.
It has to be said that this is the best news that Nok and others have heard these days.
But they were too happy and didn't know that danger was coming quietly.
After sunset, this small village called Beta unloaded the busy day.
Start enjoying its rare break.
When the lights in every house in the village gradually went out, only the dim light of the church bell tower was left swaying.
A "big bird" fluttered down from a tree beside the road outside the village.
Oh, it turned out to be not the big bird, but the half-vampire Philip, waving his wings and landing on the tree trunk.
"Noak Lane, I will definitely get the Holy Spear back from you, and I won't let you continue to tarnish the Holy Spear!
Even if it means killing you, I won’t hesitate! "
After chasing Knock all the way, Philip finally lost his patience.
Before, he just wanted Nok to retreat and hand over the Holy Spear obediently.
But Knock's stubborn resistance made Philip exhausted his patience.
More importantly, in order to avoid him, Nok and his party actually fled towards the Holy Court.
This was the real reason for Philip's murderous intention.
Due to the Holy Court, the old priest did not recognize Philip's identity until his death.
Later, Van Helsing was hunted down by the Holy Court.
Although there are rumors that Van Helsing eventually died with a vampire archduke.
But Philip didn't believe it.
Even if Van Helsing is old and possesses the Holy Spear, it is impossible for the Duke of Blood to kill Van Helsing.
Instead, he might be killed by Van Helsing.
Therefore, although Philip believed in the Holy Lord, he did not recognize the Holy Court.
He only recognizes those clergymen of the church who truly save the world and save people and those who are in need.
Philip disdains the company of a scum like Nock Lane who is willing to die.
Seeing that Nok and his party were about to enter the Holy Court, Philip wanted to snatch the Holy Spear again.
That would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Although the Vampires can't fly high, they can still fly several thousand meters high.
But if you want to snatch the church's holy relics under the eyes of the Holy Court, you may not be able to succeed even if Dracula comes in person.
Philip didn't think that he, a small descendant of Dracula, could snatch the Holy Spear in the Holy Court where there were so many masters.
Therefore, he must deal with Nook Lane tonight and snatch the holy spear!
However, perhaps because of its proximity to the Holy Court, there are no powerful magical beasts in Ferrara.
As a result, Philip could not find decent helpers.
Now, he could only wait until midnight.
See if you can find any dark creatures or weirdos nearby that happen to teleport nearby.
Then lead them to attack the village.
Judging from the prosperity of this village, it should be able to withstand the attack of monsters.
Philip also did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
As long as he can break the village's protective circle, he can sneak into the village quietly.
Then with the help of his hidden figure, he found Nok Lane and killed him with one blow.
This time, he will definitely not hold back.
He believed that when the monster attacked the village,
Knock Lane and his team will definitely come out to help with the defense.
At that time, Philip can take advantage of the chaos to kill Nok Lane and snatch the Holy Spear.
With his flying speed, even if others find out, they won't be able to stop him!
Philip made up his mind and stood on the big tree at the entrance of the village, waiting silently.
But his eyes kept staring at a white shield in front of him.
This shield is the village's protective circle.
People today have no idea that the Holy Church had set up a magic circle underground in the previous villages.
The emblem can be a church, a church icon, or even the church's Holy Cross.
Even the holy water enshrined on the formation eye!
As long as it is an item that can provide sacred power to the formation, it can activate the underground defensive shield at night.
However, people nowadays are not very clear about this.
Only near the Holy Court are there some vague records.
Of course, there must be records in the church that as long as clergymen who study theology seriously,
They will all be proficient in one or two such formations.
The remote villages don't know why. They only know that according to tradition, they offer "sacred objects" to the village's formation.
Or just build a church.
When a newly built church has a priest stationed there, he usually secretly helps the village set up a defensive barrier.
The church has regulations on these matters and cannot explain them explicitly.
Because this is the foundation for the Holy Church to establish itself on the mainland.
Even if other sects have similar magic circles, they are not as useful as those of the Holy Church.
Therefore, the church hides this kind of thing from the people.
People only know that the wilderness at night is dangerous, and only cities and towns are safe.
The few villages with churches are also safe.
As for other self-built villages that do not believe in evil, they often become sacrifices to the night.
No smart lord would make such a mistake.
Even if the church cannot be built, a priest will be hired to help build the village's protective facilities.
This is also the reason why, even if the Holy Church has begun to decay, various kingdoms still dare not openly rebel.
Until an institution can be found that can replace the Holy Church, no matter how ambitious the king is,
I don’t dare to be as stubborn as the Black Ox Country.
Although their Red Fire Sect is also very powerful, it still cannot solve the problem of citizens being attacked by dark creatures at night.
It is said that now the Black Bull Kingdom can only use force to suppress the emotions of its citizens and try to gather the wild villages into small towns.
Expand the town and use the church left by the Holy Church as a base to protect the expanded town.
For this reason, dissatisfaction arose within the Black Bull Kingdom, and many farmers lost their land and were annexed and exploited by the nobles.
Some people were even unable to live in the town and were forced to sell themselves into slavery.
Philip is not an ignorant commoner, on the contrary, he is familiar with all kinds of handwritten notes and inheritance left by the old priest.
I know that every village has its own protective circle.
Even the village of Korola has one.
However, when the evil spirits escaped from the church, they destroyed the church's formation.
Neither Philip nor Knock noticed this at the time.
Only then did the dark creatures find the opportunity to attack the injured villagers of Korola Village.
But Philip was no match for the monster that attacked Corolla Village that night. Even if he came back after dealing with the evil spirit,
There was no chance to rescue the villagers.
He could only blame Nok for his incompetence.
Nokk doesn't know anything about this matter, otherwise if he knew the truth,
As early as when Phillip came to the door for the first time, he gave Phillip a shot.
"Ouch~"
Suddenly, a wolf howled in the dark night,
This made Philip's eyes light up as he waited.
There are wolves!
The presence of wolves means there are wolf packs. After all, lone wolves dare not approach human activity areas.
Only wolves dare to roam unscrupulously in areas where humans live.
Philip was about to set off to drive the wolves away.
But suddenly he caught a rustling sound.
Huge gray wolves emerged from the nearby fields and trees,
They slowly gathered at the entrance of the village.
This pack of wolves actually wants to attack the village!
Philip was shocked!
I couldn't help but let out a hint of breath,
Unexpectedly, a black wolf that was larger than all gray wolves actually ran towards the tree where Phillip was.
Then he jumped up and swung his claws towards Phillip's location.
boom!
Phillip saw the opportunity quickly and turned into his true form and flew into the night sky.
But the trees suffered, and were photographed into a sky full of sawdust.
Boom!
The tree trunk weighing over a thousand kilograms collapsed to the ground, causing a shock that woke up the villagers living near the entrance of the village.
Along with the sound of cursing, several houses turned on their lights.
But when they walked out of the house and saw the dense green light at the entrance of the village,
I was immediately frightened.
So many eyes!
Some brave villagers realized that this was a monster that was about to attack the village, and their scalps were immediately numb with fear.
His voice broke as he shouted: "Come here quickly! Monsters! So many monsters! Monsters are attacking the village!"
The villagers who were awakened by the shouts joined in the frightened shouts.
Some people even ran directly to the church to sound the alarm in the village outside the church.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang!"
A series of rapid bells finally woke up the whole village.
Even Nok and others who stayed in the church soon knew what happened.
Regarding the commotion in the village, the giant wolves outside the village did not pay attention.
On the contrary, the giant black wolf with a shoulder height of three meters stared at the bats flying in the sky and actually spoke.
"Dracula boy, why do you want to spy on us? Without giving a suitable reason,
Even if I have to risk being punished by Lord Dracula, I will kill you! "
The giant wolf's voice is not old, but rather like that of a middle-aged man.
But the words of the giant wolf made Philip in the sky very unhappy.
"Haha, I wonder where the wild wolf came from that was so bold that he dared to attack a gathering place of humans.
It turned out to be a clan of werewolves.
This is adjacent to the Holy Court, are you so not afraid of death?
How dare you attack humans here. Aren't you afraid of another war between humans and the dark world? "
The giant black wolf suddenly felt unhappy when he heard Phillip's innocent words.
He stood up straight, roared to the sky, and turned into a werewolf with the head and body of a wolf.
Of course, the so-called human body does not refer to the human body, but the sub-human form that is close to human.
Its claws are still claws, but like human hands, they can grasp things.
The feet can also stand like humans, but they are still wolf legs, more like hooves!
But no one will question this guy's lethality and explosiveness.
If the previous giant wolf form, the black wolf was already a giant beast,
Then the black wolf in werewolf form is a giant.
At five meters tall, it is comparable to the legendary giant cub.
But Philip felt that this was not the reason why it could provoke the Holy Court!
Even the king of the dwarves, a hill giant whose blood has returned to his ancestors, is already close to a god.
He is a demigod-level master, a peak demigod even more powerful than Dracula.
They may not even dare to challenge the Holy Court.
Because dwarves can forge, half of the artifacts on the continent are made by dwarves.
Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci had to surrender.
It is said that Leonardo da Vinci could create sacred objects, but he could not create any artifacts.
Therefore, except for the Pope in the Holy Court playing rogue, and the hill giant king of the dwarves,
He is the real number one master by default in mainland China.
But the Holy Court has a rich background. In addition to the Pope Suit and the artifacts [Holy Grail] and artifacts [Bible],
He even shamelessly took Fiona with him, calling her a mount.
Holy Dragon Fiona is an immortal being who challenges the gods in the battle of gods.
It is also one of the only five giant dragons left in the mainland!
At the peak of the demi-god level, some people even suspected that the five giant dragons were at the god level.
Therefore, no one dares to deny the Pope's first position, but they are just not convinced.
The Holy Court has such a powerful strength that even other top forces in the mainland dare not provoke it.
Why do the werewolves dare to attack human villages under the eyes of the Holy Court!
Philip no longer doubted whether the werewolves in front of him could break the village's defense.
After all, it's just a village, and there's no way the defensive array can withstand the werewolf elite.
Because after normal werewolves transform into werewolves, they are only about two meters tall.
If you are stronger, you can be 2.5 to 3 meters tall.
He is basically the leader of a werewolf tribe.
But the five-meter-tall werewolf reminded Phillip of a name.
"You are Wolf King Bekhanmu! Damn it! You actually brought out all the elites of the wolf clan,
Don’t you want to enter the Holy Court? You are crazy! "
Looking at the giant gray wolves that transformed into werewolves, each one was more than three meters tall.
How are these werewolf elites? They are clearly the leaders of various werewolf tribes!
"Dracula boy, you know too much. It seems that I can't let you go.
Otherwise, if you go back and talk nonsense to Lord Dracula, I will be very distressed.
After all, we, the werewolf clan, are still taking orders under Lord Dracula! "
As Bekhanmu said, he kicked his legs and disappeared from the ground.
Appeared above Philip.
"Dracula boy, don't blame me, if not, just blame you for wandering around!
I saw something I shouldn’t have seen! "
Philip did not expect that the Wolf King would dare to take action after knowing his identity and background.
You know, his ancestor Dracula is the top master of the vampire clan!
A being that even pure-blooded vampires would not dare to provoke!
In the dark world, he is recognized as the uncrowned king!
There are countless dark races who have taken refuge in Dracula over the years.
It makes the Blood Tribe Elders Council extremely jealous.
But the Wolf King actually dared to attack and kill him!
Philip was so shocked that he lost his chance of hiding.
Although the Wolf King's body is huge, the Wolf King is also powerful.
The pressure of the holy level directly enveloped Philip.
Philip had no time to resist,
Then he was slapped by Wolf King Bekhan Mu with his paw.
boom!
Phillip exploded into a bloody mist and disappeared into the air.
Boom!
Wolf King Bekhan Mu landed on the ground, but his face showed no trace of joy in killing the enemy, and instead looked very ugly.
"Damn it! That kid actually has 'Dracula's Asylum' on him!
He has been teleported back to Dracula by Dracula's bloodline summoning technique.
We can no longer hide our affairs!
My fellow tribesmen, please fight quickly, conquer the village, and complete the deal with that person.
Then we immediately returned to the tribe and moved the tribesmen to the new stronghold.
With the protection of those people, we no longer have to kowtow to those stinky bats!
If I go one step further, even Dracula will be torn apart by me! "
"Ouch! Ouch!"
The werewolves responded to the Wolf King's words with wolf howls, and under the leadership of the Wolf King, launched an attack on the village.
Under the organization of the church priest, the residents plucked up the courage to gather at the entrance of the village with weapons.
But he saw a strong and ferocious werewolf.
Suddenly I was frightened out of my wits and frightened.
If you still have the courage to fight, just drop the weapons in your hands and scatter like birds and beasts.
The priest also didn't expect that the werewolves who attacked the village were actually the werewolves of the dark race.
Werewolves are cruel and murderous by nature. Once the village's protection is broken, the villagers will only die!
But the defense of the village church alone was unable to withstand this powerful group of werewolves.
Especially the black werewolf standing in front, the priest felt that the village's magic circle could not even block its blow.
Just when the priest was about to go back to find Richelieu, the Cardinal candidate, for help.
But they heard the village's defensive shield "crash" and turned into pieces in the air.
Then a huge claw grabbed his head.
Before he could react to what was happening, his sight captured a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth.
"Pfft!"
Drenched with blood, the priest lost consciousness.
Before losing consciousness, the priest's only thought was: This girl has bad breath!
As for Nok and others who were cherished by the priest, as soon as they learned that the village was attacked,
It felt like Phillip had taken action again.
But when they heard the wolf howling, they realized something was wrong.
Because the smell outside the village actually made them all feel scared.
Nock felt that it was impossible for Philip to find such help.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been harassing Nok and others until now.
So, Knock, who knew that the village could not be defended, discussed with Richelieu,
He immediately made up his mind, boarded the carriage, and escaped from the other side of the village while the villagers were not paying attention.
After the werewolves entered the village, they found that their target had disappeared, so they could only kill everyone in the village alive.
Then he hurried towards the tribe.
They want to move the clan members away before Dracula arrives.
As for the deal with that person, attacking the village and scaring away the target has been completed.
The task can be considered roughly completed.
