Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Old Friends

“The Hall family’s earliest head should have been called Fisker Hall. The first vice-captain of the Holy Knights, known as the ‘Silver Battle Sword’.”

At a time when the number of Knights was still not large, this deputy captain was a rare offensive holy light knight.

After the establishment of the family, a distinct ‘Holy Light Swordsman’ system was followed, with a strict upbringing for the future generations.

Due to the Holy Light System mixed into their bloodlines, along with the sword techniques passed down in the family, the Hall family has consistently provided quality knights to the Knight Regiment, mainly for the Holy Knights and Lionheart Knights.

As for this Olivia Hall you speak of.”

Either she isn’t elite, or she’s already dead… at least I don’t know this knight.”

The Count, his head firmly stuck in the Bloodhound’s mouth, said seriously: “Certainly not… the person this Count values couldn’t possibly not be an elite, something must have happened.

The squad of knights who sought me out all died, except for her.

She fought until the last moment and thrust her holy sword into my body.

I remember dealing, not only with me but also with many Blood Descendants, her body deeply polluted and seriously injured throughout. Survival would have been difficult.”

“Oh, she’s definitely dead… I obviously wouldn’t know a dead knight.”

Thinking about this, the Count hurriedly continued: “As a descendant of such a large family, perhaps her remains were sent back to the Holy city and buried in a specific cemetery.

Nicholas, please go and ask the Hall family.”

“She’s dead, what are you going to do?”

“Even if it’s her remains, I need to find them.

Do I have to tell you that my intention to betray the original master started when I met Olivia? Since her holy sword pierced my body, both my ‘ideals’ and ‘power system’ have changed.

Nicholas, you’ve fought one-on-one with me before.

You know that although I’m a demon, I disregard typical attribute opposition and use the ‘True Silver Holy Sword’, right? If we find her remains, or delve deep into her family, maybe I can become even more perfect.”

“Why didn’t you say this sooner?”

“You never asked… Besides, you didn’t even want to lend me your body to play with for a few days, why should I take the initiative to talk about this.”

Han Dong, who had also drunk a bit too much, started to argue with the Count.

This was the first time Captain Shaia had seen such a scene, a knight arguing bizarrely with the demon within him.

“Hahaha… start arguing, start arguing!”

Shaia had completely let loose, not caring for the magnitude of the situation.

While waving the wine bottle in her hand, she also longed for the Scarlet Count to separate himself so that he could fight with Han Dong and reenact the ‘Theatre Battle’ in the story.

“Alright, alright.

During the expedition period, if there’s a chance, I’ll lend you my body for a while. That’s okay, right?”

Han Dong took a step back.

Compared to argumentation, this matter at hand was more important.

Intuition told Han Dong that if he could trace the origins of the holy sword, maybe he could find the ‘breakthrough point.’

Maybe he could add a ‘trump card’ to increase his close combat ability.

“Captain Shaia, after the [Legion Distribution] tomorrow, will the expedition start immediately?”

“There should be a short-term adjustment in the legion, it could start right away, or it could wait a day or two…why not ask now? I’ll personally accompany you there as a gratitude for your company tonight.

I haven’t been this happy in a long time.”

“Is it appropriate to disturb others so late?”

“In a family like this focused on knight training, some family members are surely training all night… and training at night is often more useful than during the day.”

She decided to go at once.

In fact, Shaia was also very curious.

Logically, such a holy sword knight would naturally be the absolute restraint against the demons outside the city…and just like some settings in the movies, holy light also has a certain lethality to vampires.

The Scarlet Count, a demon with ‘Blood Clan’ attributes.

Under the condition of being seriously injured or even nearly dead… he actually managed to reverse control the power of the holy sword and even developed a rebellious consciousness against the King in his heart.

This matter was worth deep exploration by Shaia.

She put on a black coat with a hood,

stepped into a pair of boots with buckles,

Before she left, she didn’t forget to slide her fingers across her lips to reveal a different shade of red,

holding Han Dong’s palm, she jumped straight out the window.

In the night.

A pair of huge, transparent, blood-red bat wings formed on Shaia’s back, gently bringing the two to the ground… At the same time, a large number of vampire bats gathered in front of them.

They formed into a kind of living carriage.

The Hall family, upper aristocracy, located on the third level of the Holy city.

The constant sound of sword fights could still be heard from the mansion into the night.

Bucker Hall, the current head of the family, was reviewing the training of the younger generation of the family and preparing to return to his bedroom for rest… only to see the old housekeeper looking panicked.

“Master! Master! The Duchess Shaia Cornwall is here!”

“What?”

The sleepiness that was lingering in Bucker’s mind dissipated entirely. Even as an elite knight like he was, hearing the name Shaia would startle him into a cold sweat.

“Why would the terrifying Duchess visit our family in the middle of the night? We didn’t offend the Scarlet Knights, did we? Could it be that one of our younger family members had caused trouble at the Red Cross Hospital?

We can’t keep the Duchess waiting, I’ll go greet her first, you hurry up and prepare some fine wine to entertain the Duchess.”

Bucker Hall himself was also an elite knight of the Lionheart Knights. He quickly put on his glimmering golden knight armor and personally greeted them.

“Duchess, thank you for visiting in person. I’ve instructed the butler to prepare for you an eighty-year-old vintage from the Red Manor. Please come in.”

“I’ll take two bottles later, no need to drink now… hiccup!

I came specifically to ask about Olivia Hall.”

“Olivia… I wonder why the Duchess is seeking information about my late sister?” The mention of this name also caused Bucker’s expression to become quite somber.

“My friend here was once Olivia’s comrade-in-arms, due to serious injuries and pollution, they had been kept in a remote observation area in the hospital.

They discharged from the hospital today and came to mourn a former fighting companion.”

“My sister’s comrade? Hmm… After her remains were returned by the Knight Regiment at that time, she was buried in the family cemetery. Follow me.”

In Bucker’s view, a person of Captain Shaia’s caliber would naturally not need to lie.

The moment they stepped into the family cemetery, the Count inside felt the related senses.

At the same time, Han Dong felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

Once, the True Silver Cross embedded into the Count’s wrist, seemed to cause physical sensations in Han Dong’s body because it would soon see an old friend.
