Chapter 14 (What's the name of this chapter?)
Somewhere in the middle of the desert, there is a mysterious temple hidden.
It is poured from shell limestone, with a sophisticated structure and complex structure, but it is deeply buried by wind and sand.
Before this land was desertified, it was originally a temple dedicated to the sun god. However, now it has become the habitat of a group of vampires.
There is a triangular entrance made of boulders on the west side of the temple, leading directly to the arches in the desert. The dripping nozzles on both sides of the arch are dripping day and night.
In the interior of the temple, it penetrates a mysterious static energy field, which can delay the aging and death of things, such as delaying the oxidation process of metal objects, or make the bodies of dead animals and people not stink due to decay, but only slowly dehydrated and dry.
Of course, this energy field has no effect on vampires, because they are not old and immortal. Whether it is the flow of time or retrograde, it cannot affect them.
However, they still like to live in such a place, because it does not require them to change the items used too often in those long days, nor do they need to smell the stench of rats or other creatures after decay.
Although he is an immortal ghost, he lives in the temple of the god of the sun, which is a little strange.
But they don't mind, and others don't mind.
The sun god himself doesn't mind... He has long ceased to exist.
They are constantly holding rotten dances inside, as if only in this crazy beating can they find the meaning of their immortality. Getting rid of the shackles of the law of life makes them feel that they are great enough. However, this greatness is not enough for them to get rid of the emptiness brought by life itself. Therefore, in hundreds of thousands of years, although many vampires have been created, the number of blood clans has not increased.
There will always be one bloodsucker after another, because he can't find a reason to continue to survive, and he jumps into the fire or walks out of the darkness...
The dance continues...
But not everyone can attend the dance.
At this time, a little girl is running in a dark corner.
Blood kept flowing down her calf, making her face paler and paler. She ran into a dirty wooden fence with a lot of chickens and ducks, and the ground was full of their feces. This is the dirtiest place in the whole temple, and no one else will appear here except her.
The blood on the legs is still flowing, mixed with the feces of chickens and ducks. She grabbed a chicken and bit it on the neck despite its barking.
My mouth is full of chicken feathers.
Until all the chicken's blood was sucked dry, the girl's face gradually regained some luster.
She slowly slipped to the ground and sobbed gently:
"Wind Soul...Wind Soul..."
The wind soul is dead...

Between the distant desert and the Kingdom of Fell, it is separated by the Churfengs Mountains. This mountain avoids the desertification of the soil in several counties bordering the desert.
If you want to enter the Fair Kingdom directly from the distant desert, the only way is to cross the Churfengs Mountains or through the Fog Girl Forest is through the ancient pass of Dilu County. Therefore, business travelers from Si Er or Xinya often come and go to Gu Ai'ai. It's just a pity that Count Ferrane, the lord of Dilu County, is old-fashioned and difficult to accommodate, and he is disgusted with businessmen. The tax on business travel through his territory is extremely heavy, which has blocked this supposedly prosperous commercial passage to a certain extent.
Of course, the Earl of Flainn also has a commendable side, that is, he has severely attacked the desert thieves who dared to approach his territory. There are still several rows of hanged sand thieves on both sides of the Gu'ai pass, which ensures the entry into the Guai pass. Safety of business travel. Another point is that although the Earl of Ferrerne hates businessmen, his justice is also famous. As long as they pay full taxes according to the regulations, they can not worry about any more exploitation and oppression in Dilu County. It is an accidental conflict with those nobles, and it can also be believed that the Count of Ferrane will be unfavorable. Make a fair ruling on both sides. And this is unimaginable in other parts of the Kingdom of Fer.
At this time, Count Farien was standing on the wall of his castle and looking into the distance. The mountains in the distance are undulating and cold in the light at dusk.
He stood for a long time until a man appeared behind him and coughed gently.
It was a one-eyed man with a gloomy face.
"Lewwolf General" Leot!
Count Felainn has never liked Leot. In fact, there are very few people who can make him like him. General Leot was also famous for being lonely "before his death". Therefore, these two equally stubborn and unfalike people basically never came into contact. Even if they occasionally met once or twice, they just went their separate ways and were even lazy to point out.
However, when he knew that Leot was not only dead, but also came to him with Prince Louis and a group of noble ladies, he rushed out and gave him a manly hug without hesitation after looking at Leot.
Yes, he doesn't like this "lone wolf general" at all... But he knows who deserves to die and who doesn't.
However, after taking Leot and Prince Louis into the castle, he threw the group of ladies as Rose Knights there without welcoming them at all.
Girl's family, be a good knight... He doesn't like this kind of thing at all!
Leot said in a low voice behind him, "Your Highness, there is news."
"Where is it?" Count Ferrane turned around.
"She and Her Majesty, as well as the other two others, tried to cross the Ailey River, but were recognized by the Marquis of Lianting at the checkpoint near there. In the name of invitation, they wanted to force the princess and the queen to go to Sykes County. Fortunately, the magical teenager named Meggie beside the princess created chaos with illusion and successfully escaped. Leot replied.
"Mage? Well, I've heard of this man. Some people say that he is the little white face of Sophia's child. Some people promoted this at the dance and were arrested and beaten. The next day, his parents came to me to let their children go, so I brought the guy to them, but they didn't recognize it. The count snorted.
"According to the information collected so far," said Leot, "Your Highness was burned by fire in the royal city and almost died. It was Meggie and Emma who rescued her in time. Since they appear near the Ailai River, they must also come here. I have sent those rose knights to pick them up.
"Those girls?" The count was very dissatisfied, "I have already said that my people can be assigned by you, but you sent those girls? Are my people so bad?"
"Not so!" General Dulang explained, "It's just that Her Royal Highness is not familiar with your people. In this case, it is difficult for her to believe the words of strangers, and may even avoid them as soon as she sees you. And those rose knights, they are absolutely loyal to Your Highness, and Your Highness also trusts them..."
"In the final analysis, it's all your fault." The count snorted, "You shouldn't have left the child alone and made her suffer so much."
"This is the order of the old man Urenos..."
"That dead old man who pretends to be a ghost? Humph, he should have been burned alive..."
"He has been burned to death!" General Lone Wolf reminded him carefully.
"Oh, yes, I suddenly forgot!"
......

In a place that is close to Dilu County.
"Everyone, run away quickly. If you don't escape, it will be too late!"
"Meggie, if you dare to learn from that kid, I'll let you see him immediately." Emma is furious.
"Cough, okay. Anyway, let's escape quickly." Meiji looked back at the flying dust in the distance, "Otherwise it will be too late..."
Bang! The bone whip hit him fiercely, and the pain made him scream.
At this time, they were at the foot of a mountain when a group of cavalry suddenly appeared and chased them.
Emma quickly summoned "Tannis" and "Kalamon" to put Princess Sophia and Queen Tinuvir on their backs. However, another cavalry came out from their front and made them have no way to escape.
"Mage, you take Your Highness and the Queen to the mountain first." Emma ordered calmly. She scratched the bone whip and immediately drilled out a skeleton from the ground to block the cavalry on both sides. However, a light suddenly appeared, and the skeletons that were illuminated immediately scattered on the ground.
Obviously, there are priests or priests who can use magic hidden in the enemy. It may even be a paladin.
The necromancer girl gritted her teeth. After several bodies came out, she exploded on her own before the enemy could perform magic. More than a dozen knights were immediately affected, and even their horses fell to the ground.
But the remaining enemies immediately learned a lesson and rushed towards her as they dispersed.
" Emma, come back quickly." Meiji shouted on the hillside. He drew his hands and came out after the superimposed "stone collapse" and formed a stone wall in front of Emma, temporarily blocking the enemy.
However, a magic also flew out from the enemy and hit Emma, which made her bend down in pain.
"Ima..." Meji's face changed greatly, and Sophia and Tinuville also sweated coldly.
Fortunately, Emma quickly stood up again and turned around and ran towards them.
However, the enemies also disoed and chased them. Not only are they more, but also have someone who can use magic. In this case, it is difficult for them to escape.
Meggie ran down and held Emma, who was obviously a little unsupporting.
"You run first." Emma said with a pale face. The unknown magic obviously hurt her.
"Run together." Meiji took her to Sophia. "Let's go to the top of the mountain first."
"No, wait." The young queen suddenly shouted.
What are you waiting for? Others looked at her in consternation, but saw that her expression had become extremely complicated and were looking at the foot of the mountain in consternation. Following her line of sight, Megji and the others also saw a person.
A man riding a black handsome horse and covered in darkness. He raised his head and glanced at them faintly. Even though they were so far apart, their purple eyes still had a shocking chill and penetrated into their hearts.
Those who chased Sophia and Tinuvir also found him, and soon became panicked.
The man in black strangled the horse, and the dark horse hissed. Then, he rode the horse straight away and broke into the group of people like a wind.
The sword he pulled out is also black, just like the feeling he gives people, cold and dark... doesn't need any light.
The so-called battle is just a one-sided killing. Neither sword nor magic can cause any damage to this man in black. As a corpse fell, the people began to panic and fled.
The man in black did not chase those who fled. He just stopped the horse and quietly looked up at Tinuvir.
Tinuvel covered his mouth and made no sound. Her face was filled with tears, and I don't know whether it was happiness or pain... or both?
Suffia sighed gently and pushed Tinuville one step forward: "Go there... He's waiting for you."
Tinuvir looked back at her and looked a little flustered. Is it okay? Is it really okay? She asked herself over and over again. Can she really follow the man who ruined Sophia's family and even lost her beauty and health?
"Tinuville," Sophia just stretched out her hand and gently hugged her, "Go... take care of yourself."
The beautiful queen cried out and hugged her friend tightly.
Heizi in black is still looking at them quietly. After watching the beloved woman reluctantly say goodbye to the princess who is no longer beautiful, he comes to him.
He jumped off his horse, took down something hanging on the horse's back, took a look at Sophia, and put it on the stone beside him. Then he met Tinuweir, picked her up, and took her on the horse with him.
The afterglow of the sunset shone on them, and there was a strange tranquility.
The man in black pulled the reins and galloped away with Tinuvir.
Suffia silently looked at what he put on the stone. That's a sword set with gems.
His father left it to her, but was lost in the king's sword.
She sighed and wanted to walk over and pick up the sword. At this time, Meiji suddenly shouted, "Here comes someone again."
More than 20 riders are rushing, all young girls.
"Molly is also in it." Meiji looked happily at one of the girls with a big sword on her back.
"Rose Knight." Emma whispered. She was a little hesitant. For Molly and the rose knights, she was already a traitor, and she didn't know how to face them.
At this time, Princess Sophia held her with the only intact hand. She raised her head and saw the encouraging smile on the princess's face. Although the sword mark is still deeply engraved on the princess's face, for Emma... she is still so beautiful!
"Help me down." Sophia said softly.
"...hmm."
