Chapter 122: Intersection between kingdom guard and church paladin

In a narrow alley off Gedo Street.

William walked slowly, the alley was relatively quiet, with few people passing through.

Heading towards the direction of the Adventurer’s Villa, William contemplated the events he had just experienced.

The vampire called Marion gave him a strange feeling, not in terms of his mental state, but his aura.

Different from those vampire monsters, it felt purer.

Just like Angela!

Angela, who had witnessed the battle between two Gold-tier vampires just now, was excited. She abandoned her usual laziness and ground her claws on William’s shoulder.

William glanced at her, feeling that the vampire might have some connection to Angela, so he didn’t ask her to hide just now.

But strangely, the vampire should have seen Angela, yet there was no reaction at all. He even left without hesitation.

Did I guess wrong?

He thought there was a connection with Angela, knowing her secret!

After all, this was Canlight City, and there were two big shots behind William, so he wasn’t afraid of the obviously Gold-tier vampire.

William recalled and confirmed that he had not encountered this vampire or a similar situation in the game world of his past life. The game plot of Canlight City didn’t involve such characters either.

Did he leave Canlight City before players arrived, or…

Forget it, it’s not urgent.

William took out the chicken skewer he hadn’t finished from his storage ring and handed it to Angela on his shoulder. The little bat cheered and began nibbling on it with her claws, forgetting all about her ambitious plans from earlier.

In his past life, Angela was probably hunted down by the Golden Lion Knights. William wondered what secrets this little bat held.

But having secrets was fine. After spending so much time together, William already considered Angela a companion. If there was trouble, he wouldn’t just stand by.

Shortly after William left the alley, a team of guards arrived at the scene of the battle.

The leader of the guards, Captain Todd, had a grim expression as he surveyed the devastated street and the injured pedestrians lying on the ground from the recent battle.

Most of them seemed to have been injured by flying bricks and stones. Their groans and cries made Todd’s expression even more grim.

How could such a vicious incident happen in the area he was responsible for? This time, there were more than a dozen injured.

If this continued, should he continue to be the captain?

Todd felt somewhat helpless as he ordered his subordinates to treat the wounded and arranged for someone to notify the physicians from the clinic and the priests from the Church to come quickly.

“What are you looking at? Disperse!”

Todd impatiently dispersed the curious onlookers and walked to the center of the battle.

The more traces he discovered, the more serious Todd’s expression became.

Was this the aura of a Gold-tier vampire?

Was it the vampire who made a move in Lily White Lane yesterday?

Todd felt worried. The intense smell of blood was much stronger than the few Silver-tier vampire corpses left yesterday. If it wasn’t Gold-tier, what else could it be?

He was just a Silver-tier warrior!

Todd sighed. He had better report it and let the big shots handle it, but a severe reprimand was inevitable.

As Todd was inspecting the situation, members of the Dawn Church arrived.

The leading Paladin arranged for the accompanying junior priests to start treating the injured pedestrians, while he himself walked towards Todd.

Todd hurriedly went to meet him. The Dawn Church held a high position in the Kingdom of Fis, and Todd didn’t want to cause trouble.

“Hello, Your Excellency Olivier, I didn’t expect you to come so quickly!”

Although Olivier looked very young, he was already a Silver-tier Paladin. Recently, he had been patrolling the Lower City District with members of the Dawn Church, and Todd had met him yesterday at Lily White Lane.

“Hello, Captain Todd.”

Olivier, dressed in the standard attire of the church, exuded a righteous aura. He took off his helmet, revealing his handsome face and golden short hair, but there was a hint of worry on his face.

“I rushed here as soon as I received the notification. What’s the situation now?” Olivier asked Todd. He had been staying in the Lower City District these days.

“It should still be the vampire who made a move in Golden Lily Lane yesterday. The aura left at the scene is very similar, and these pedestrians should all be collateral damage,” Todd said without reservation. There was no need to hide anything; the Church detested these dark creatures even more than they did.

Olivier nodded and began to inspect the surroundings.

In no time, Olivier stood before the ashes left by the vampire Cortana, carefully examining them.

“Is there anything you’ve discovered?” Todd stood beside Olivier, refraining from speaking out and disturbing him, as the Dawn Church was adept at investigating dark creatures.

“This is a slain Gold-tier vampire,” Olivier said to Todd after a moment of silence.

“What, a Gold-tier vampire?” Todd almost exclaimed in surprise, quickly lowering his voice and asking, “Your Excellency Olivier, are you sure?”

“Yes!” Olivier nodded affirmatively. This was something he wouldn’t get wrong.

“It was probably drained of all its blood essence, which is why it turned into ashes, unlike the vampire corpses from yesterday,” Olivier explained. “To have been killed so quickly, the vampire who made the move might have Gold-tier high-level strength.”

“It’s strange that this vampire has struck twice, both times against their own kind, and all the injured at the scene were collateral damage, with no fatalities,” he continued. “What are they doing, killing each other? Some kind of ritual?”

Olivier glanced at the conspicuous stones and ice spikes nearby but didn’t say more.

Not caring about Olivier’s other speculations, Todd’s legs now felt weak.

Gold-tier high-level? Isn’t that the strength of the Captain of the Canlight City Guard?

Although this guy had been targeting vampires all along, who’s to say he wouldn’t get interested and take a bite out of me one day?

Todd made up his mind. Next time he received a notification, he would definitely come slower, just like today. It would be best if by the time he arrived, the fighting was already over.

Olivier stood up straight and said to Todd, “Having a Gold-tier vampire wandering around the Lower City District is not a good thing. Captain Todd, you should report this situation to the Kingdom as soon as possible.”

Todd nodded repeatedly. That’s exactly what he planned to do.

“What about the Dawn Church?” Todd asked.

Olivier placed his hand over his chest and said with conviction, “In Canlight City, our Lord is with us!”

Todd was speechless. He wanted to ask if the Dawn Church would arrange for Gold-tier experts to come.

Although Olivier was a genius, he was only of Silver-tier strength. He wouldn’t be so reckless as to go looking for that Gold-tier vampire himself, right?

Olivier glanced at Todd without explanation.

Is this what Lord Morris meant by “experience”?

But why do I always feel that something’s not quite right? What’s wrong?

What exactly did Lord Morris mean by “turmoil”?
