Chapter 396 Klein: I am used to corrupting my enemies with money
What the hell!
After listening to the giant bishop's "devout believer" speech, Klein could no longer hold back. He looked at the young vampire hiding behind the priest with sympathy. How miserable it was that he fell into the hands of such a "fanatic" of the Earth Mother Goddess...
The priest's words sound good on the surface, "selfless love", but in fact there is a hidden meaning, namely: God's "love" has been given to you, so you should also give back to God with faith, otherwise... well, return to the embrace of the earth and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.
As a "favored one" of the Goddess Church, Klein had also come into contact with several "fanatics"... These people usually didn't have any abnormalities, but when it came to "faith" and "commandments"... Hiss, it was better not to get involved with those guys.
The one who reacted most intensely at this time was Emlyn, the "noble blood clan". He suddenly realized that he seemed to be in big trouble! Was it a wrong choice for him to agree to become a priest? Damn... How could this old guy be so strong! He didn't even fight back when his parents and he were ganged up on him, and he was almost caught... Then he used a makeshift method to become a priest!
But now it seems that if I really do something like "running away" or "quitting" that betrays the "love" of the Mother Goddess...will I really be hacked to death? !
Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked out from behind the priest and called out to the three people who were about to leave:
"Wait, wait! You want to know about the key? I can tell you! And about that lady, um, my father can mix a potion that can make you grow taller! Let's talk about it, shall we? Talk alone!"
"Really? Grown taller?" Xio's eyes lit up instantly, and Fors's hand was pinched by her so hard that it hurt.
Klein was surprised. Did this guy give in? Did he get it? He wanted to leave and wait until late at night to transform into Nightmare to get some information from him...
The giant bishop nodded with satisfaction and said:
“It’s great that you can take the initiative to help others and solve their problems. It seems that you have gained new insights when reciting the Holy Scripture of Life recently.
"Praise you, Mother of all things!"
"Of course... uh..." Emlyn raised his chin proudly at first, but his expression immediately turned extremely ugly. He led the three outsiders to sit down near a bench in the distance and said:
"You must be someone extraordinary and very powerful, right? Can I ask you to rescue me? Well, just defeat that old man! I will give you a generous reward!"
“…The vampires, do you still need us humans to save them?” Klein glanced at Fors, asking her to calm Xio down while he tried to test the water first.
Emlyn said somewhat unhappily:
"I admit that I treated you badly before, and I apologize! But you were the first to call me a vampire, so we are even now!"
Fors asked curiously:
"Really? Why do you say that? The word 'vampire' is used in Emperor Roselle's novel... It's not meant to be insulting, right? And the descriptions are very detailed, it's more of a compliment, right?"
Emlyn said anxiously:
"Which novel? Damn Russell! What a superficial fellow! I know he has made outstanding contributions in your world, but compared to the history of our blood race, it is just a tiny ripple!
"Our race can be traced back to the distant Second Age..."
"Ahem!" Klein was somewhat speechless. He had long seen that this young vampire was a proud guy, but he didn't expect that after getting to know him better, he would still be a chatterbox! He quickly interrupted:
"Please suspend the history class, Emlyn White? I believe you are aware of your situation. If you can tell us the information we want to know, I can help you... call the police. Yes, that's right, call the police. In my opinion, Mr. Bishop should have no problem locking up a dangerous vampire... vampire. I have no intention of fighting."
"Danger?" Emlyn said as if he had heard a joke:
"Who can be more dangerous than you humans? Well, I won't talk about historical events, let's just talk about that thief." "Guess what, this key was seized from a human thief I met in a blood bank when I was drinking blood in a hospital! The thief wanted to go to the accounting office, but somehow he ended up in the blood bank.
"And what about me? After I got the key, I didn't steal or rob. Well, I just went to the hospital blood bank a few times...
“But that’s not the reason why the old man locked me up! I just got lost and ended up in the Harvest Church, and then I was arrested!
"Do you think this is reasonable? This is totally unreasonable of you humans!"
Klein and Fors were both surprised.
"Lost? You were using the master key?"
"Yes, yes," Emlyn replied with a guilty conscience.
"I felt like I was thirsty for blood, so I used the key to go through the wall and take a shortcut home... I didn't expect to end up in this place! Mother Goddess! I definitely didn't mean to steal! Damn old man, I will never change my faith even if I die!"
Klein's face gradually showed sympathy. Mother Goddess? Not changing his faith? Did this guy really not realize what he was saying? Did he really not notice the changes in himself? He was completely in the shape of the Mother Goddess!
The side effects of that key are really harmful. It seems that it not only makes people "lost", but also puts the holder into an unfavorable situation?
In other words, in the morning, when Fors and I were at the hospital entrance... it was actually very dangerous?!
Klein frowned. This shouldn’t be the case. Old Blue is in the hospital, which is a very safe place… He couldn’t think of any more information, so he suppressed his curiosity and asked:
"Did you ask the thief how he got the key?"
"Of course!" Emlyn raised his voice a little.
“That thief is just an ordinary person, if he had extraordinary items on him, of course I would ask him about it!
"No. 32, Wildey Street, South Bridge District! The thief found the key at this address, and also a pocket watch inlaid with diamonds!
"I have already given you the key information, and you must keep your promise and rescue me! After that, we can talk about the height-increasing potion that this lady needs!"
Klein flicked out a coin and did a simple divination. He was shocked to find that what the vampire had just said was actually true! It seemed that the bishop had put a lot of pressure on him!
I clearly didn't agree to the deal just now, but the vampire actually gave the reward first to confirm the deal? Isn't this guy afraid that we will take the information and run away? Is he so confident in that "height-increasing drug"?
Tsk tsk, this vampire is quite clever...
Meanwhile, Xio was about to give in to the temptation. Klein said:
"Compared to being an enemy of the giant bishop, I prefer to solve the problem with money. 500 pounds for the clue and 500 pounds for the potion, a total of 1000 pounds... How do you think?"
