Chapter 192 The first drop of blood
Ashburn stood where he was, watching the two leaving quietly, the smile on his face gradually faded, and the light green eyes that were the same as Hecilia's were full of bitterness.The warm sunshine poured down on him, but he couldn't feel any warmth, only felt that there was an endless chill spreading up from his feet, turning into frost every step of the way.

He seems to be always a watcher, always reserved and calm.No matter how violently the beast that was suppressed in the deepest part of his heart screamed, he always reminded himself soberly: he is not only Ashburn, he is also the only relative Sicilia trusts in this world, He is the guardian of Keller and the heir of the Louis family.

He still has a lot of things to do. With such an identity and character, he has more responsibilities than others since he was born. He must carry forward with a heavy burden.

But sometimes, Ashburn really envied Qi Zhi, envied his chicness, and envied his courage to give up everything for one person.This may be something that he will never have in his life.

Ashburn stretched out his palm, and there was a soft light jumping on his palm, which was a completely different touch from when he was a vampire.He clenched his hands into fists, trying to catch the bright light, but he only caught the darkness with one hand.

He suddenly understood a little bit.

A person cannot own a rainbow and embrace the wind of summer.Just like the bright moon hanging in the sky at night, no one can have it for a moment or even a second throughout his life, but this will not affect its appearance in your life and then illuminate you.

Ashbourne let go of his fist, letting the sunlight pass through his fingers.He suddenly said, "If I'm not wrong, you want to become a human too, right?"

The Great Elder was guessed to be the center of the matter, and he rarely showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Actually, your guess is very close. For so many years, the answer you have been seeking is hidden in that prophetic nursery rhyme."

The Great Elder's face became serious, his eyes flickered, and he looked at him with some uncertainty: "Could it be."

"That's right, live to die."

Ashburn said the rest for him: "In fact, you also understand in your heart that the status quo of the blood race is dying, and no matter how hard you try, you will be powerless, right." Ashburn stared closely at He stared into his eyes, every word was like a heavy hammer, knocking on the heart of the Great Elder, deafening.

"Not only because of the low fertility and reproductive ability of the blood race, but also because people's hearts are becoming looser and looser. No matter how ferocious beasts are kept in cages for a long time, their edges and corners will be smoothed. Even if they can break through the outer barrier one day, With the right to return to the human world again, the blood race can no longer regain the glory of the past, climb to the top of the food chain, and create a new "golden age".

And you, as the most senior elder, know all of this clearly, but you can do nothing about it.The only thing you can do now is to help those short-sighted vampires and hide all the sad reality. You just want to maintain the superficial peace and harmony of the vampires in your lifetime. My princess, what I just said is all right, Grand Elder? "

Ashbourn's persuasive questioning made him step back step by step, until his back was pressed against the cold wall, and he suddenly came back to his senses. He touched his forehead and touched the water marks on his hand, and he was scared out of his head. cold sweat.

Stared at by Ashburn's eyes that seem to know everything, the elder finally realized that this child who was sent to the Presbyterian Church since he was a child and raised by himself has grown into his current extremely intelligent, It's not to be underestimated.

The Great Elder suddenly stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and smiled somewhat gratifiedly: "As expected of a child raised by me alone."

Ashburn twitched the corners of his mouth flatly, and looked at the old man who was also a teacher and a father in front of him—he was his "father", and he spent more time by his side than his father, Duke Louis.

But this does not mean that Ashburn can forgive the Great Elder for threatening and persecuting Hecilia. He has no way to imagine what Hecilia will face if his adventurous attempt fails this time. future.

"Let's talk," Ashburn offered.

"Qi Zhi, put me down quickly!"

Cecilia was resisted by him, her soft belly was pressed tightly on his hard shoulders, and her walking posture wobbled as he walked, because she was in an upside-down posture, the blood all over her body was pouring into her head Suddenly, Cecilia's eyes were full of stars, and her fair cheeks were flushed.

"I'll warn you again, put me down quickly! Otherwise, my brother will have to skin you. If he knows that you dare to treat me like this, he will definitely not let you go!"

Xicilia was carried all the way by Qi Zhi, cursing, typically finding a new backer, with nothing to worry about.

Qi Zhi listened calmly to her nonsense, and kept walking at 01:30.

Xicilia couldn't take it anymore, this posture was really uncomfortable. In addition, she found that her own brother really didn't seem to come to rescue her. He seemed to be talking about business with the great elder.

Curling her lips, Xicilia felt that she could only rely on herself in everything.With a soft voice, she pinched his earlobe with her thin white fingers: "Qi Zhi, I feel so uncomfortable, just put me down."

Qi Zhi's Adam's apple couldn't help sliding up and down, he couldn't stand the pitiful look of the little girl begging for mercy.

As soon as he let go of his hand, he let the person off his shoulders and pressed against the corner of the wall, trapping her whole body in his arms.One hand rested on the wall beside her ear, and the other hand rubbed her soft stomach: "Is it still uncomfortable?"

The temperature in the palm of his hand was very high, and the strength was well grasped. Xicilia groaned in comfort, looked around, and found no one around, so she simply put her arms around Qi Zhi's neck and nestled against him. in the arms.

"It's still hard, it's all your fault."

"Well, blame me." Qi Zhi followed her, patiently and meticulously massaging her.

Looking down, his eyes fell on her thick and curly eyelashes. From his perspective, the little girl was extremely docile and well-behaved.

He suddenly stopped what he was doing.

"Huh? Why don't you continue."

"I ask you a question, and you have to answer me truthfully."

"You said."

Seeing that Qi Zhi asked so formally and seriously, Xicilia also became serious, and her black eyebrows were slightly raised.

"If one day, your brother and I fell into the water, who would you save first?"
