Chapter 122: Isn’t She Cute?

I seem to have seen her somewhere before.

Besides, for her to come here as a vampire to find Frida, despite having items to hide her vampire aura and disguise her appearance, she must be cautious.

So she didn’t answer Himan immediately.

Then she remembered, it seemed to be the night she had hunted the imposter with Hall.

When she was leaving, she had vaguely sensed an aura similar to Himan’s in that forest.

She had even looked back.

That blonde female knight should have been looking for Hall then.

But at that time, Himan was wearing a formal dress, so Parousia couldn’t be too sure.

Her main task at the time was to complete Prince Vier’s orders.

So after a simple observation, Himan said she was also here to find Frida.

And Himan, based on her intuition, faintly felt that Parousia was not ordinary.

Her face was a bit pale, which was a vampire characteristic.

The Oath of Purity at her waist was a weapon blessed by the Saintess.

If Parousia was really a vampire, her sword should have made the other party feel uncomfortable.

However, Parousia did not have any abnormal expression.

So the two of them, each with their own thoughts, went to Frida’s residence.

“It seems that Wolfsburg in this world is not very peaceful.”

Entering the station, Hall could see some non-official personnel in black.

He could see black snowflake emblems on various parts of their attire.

This was a symbol used to distinguish whether you were a local Bal gang or a Cateline lord’s gang.

Although in the game, the Cateline gangs were also made up of several factions that fought among themselves, when it came to dealing with the Bal gangs, they were united against a common enemy.

This was the Cateline gang.

They could fight among themselves in Cateline, but when fighting outside, they had to make the local gangs unable to raise their heads.

In the game, Wolfsburg was a side quest.

It was usually a side quest that needed to be dealt with in each heroine’s free route.

After all, it was a dark-path game, and some players liked to take a different path.

What East-West continent divide, what war between nations, what human and demon race, what religious beliefs.

I don’t care about any of that!

I want to be the underworld emperor, the underworld queen!

Do you understand the weight of the Western Continent’s godmother?

Because the Cateline gangs, whose forces were not interfered with by the Church, were the largest, one had to come to Wolfsburg to stir up trouble.

Hall had also tried to take the underworld route when he played the game before.

He knew that the largest Cateline gang here was called “Nistav,” and the second largest was called “Morivec.”

The usual route was to support Morivec to get rid of Nistav.

Because the boss behind Morivec was easier to talk to than the boss behind Nistav, and was also more loyal to Empress Sophia.

If one took the gang route, the order of recruiting the heroine was basically to help Morivec get rid of Nistav, then meet the godfather behind Morivec, and have the godfather pull some strings to get close to the great nobles of Cateline, and finally meet Sophia.

To recruit Sophia into the team.

If one didn’t take this route, recruiting Sophia in a main story with other queens was relatively difficult.

After all, she was the monarch of a country and not someone you could recruit with just a simple chat.

If he had the chance, Hall would also consider replicating this route from the game.

More friends, more paths.

Especially since in the future, if he really ran away, the gangs would be a very good connection to have.

There were no heroines in them, and it was better to handle some things that needed to be hidden.

But after the train entered the station, he clearly felt a sense of hostility.

Only a few government officials came to welcome them, and these people were all from the deputy mayor and mayor’s camp.

The local gangs of Wolfsburg had no intention of contacting the Church.

The fact that no commoners came to welcome Christine now also showed the gangs’ attitude.

It was strange.

Christine’s blessing ceremony was more helpful to the commoners or the frequently fighting and injured gangs.

The government officials, on the other hand, had private doctors.

The leading government official was the deputy mayor.

He said that the duke mayor was currently visiting Cateline and probably wouldn’t be back before Christine left.

Christine, on the other hand, said she didn’t mind and just asked about the location and preparations for the blessing ceremony.

Then the local white-robed bishop came out from the crowd and, after some pleasantries, led the four of them to the cathedral to stay for the time being.

“This city of Wolfsburg is a bit gloomy, Young Master.”

It was Lov’s first time in a place so far north.

It was already seven o’clock when the train entered the station, and it was pitch black.

And tonight…

The feeling it gave was not very good.

“It’s the first time I’ve come to a place with such a big gap between the rich and the poor, but the slums and the wealthy areas built with walls are intertwined. The infrastructure is not very good. Some places don’t even have lights on the way to the church.”

“Yes.”

Hall had been observing the deputy mayor and the local bishop on the way.

Theoretically, in this city, the government, the church, and the gangs were the three forces.

The government was the largest, occupying half.

The gangs and the church shared the other half.

But the deputy mayor and the mayor belonged to Frida’s faction and the Lauren family’s faction respectively.

They were not on good terms with each other, but they maintained a delicate balance.

Before arriving, Hall’s thought was that no matter what, in this balanced state, Christine should not be in danger.

But at this moment, the mayor was not here, and the deputy mayor and the bishop had appeared together.

In the game, if the player united the gangs to fight against the church, they would go to the deputy mayor.

And the local bishop had a connection with Cardinal Saint Gregory and was not a direct subordinate of Sigurd.

Therefore, at this moment, Hall didn’t dare to be sure that Christine’s trip was completely risk-free.

If possible, he could also use the game’s intelligence to exchange for Morivec’s protection of Christine.

After all, for the memory of the game, it was a precious resource.

The former Hall had consumed a lot of this resource, which was why he had no chance to use it now.

Now that he had left his birthplace, Saint Louis, he had to seize the opportunity.

An hour later.

Christine and Hall’s group arrived at the Wolfsburg Cathedral.

Compared to the imperial capital, Christine was not given a welcoming reception.

The bishop just sent someone to show them their rooms and had the nuns bring them some food before leaving.

As for the deputy mayor, he said that after Christine had held her preliminary blessing ceremony tomorrow night, a celebratory banquet would be held.

It was clear that they were treating Christine as a blessing tool.

But this place was indeed far from the emperor’s reach, and Christine and Hall had had a conflict with the Lauren family in the imperial capital.

And the two of them looked young and were not accompanied by Archbishop Malik.

This was the reason for their wantonness.

To this, Christine was also indifferent.

She was really indifferent.

She would do the blessing ceremony and leave, too lazy to say anything.

But during dinner.

Hall alertly took Christine’s plate.

Seeing this, Lov thought to herself, ‘The Young Master wouldn’t want to eat something that Christine has eaten, would he? Does he want to do that too? Sob.’

But the black-haired youth just took out a silver needle and pierced the dessert.

There was no poison, but there was a card quietly lying inside.

“Interesting.”

“What does it say, Baron Hall?”

“The card says, ‘Esteemed Miss Christine, these are the various choices sent by the Cateline gang. One is to pretend to be injured and recuperate in Wolfsburg for fifty days. And then, we will protect your and your Specialist William’s safety.'”

Hall read the words on the card, his eyes falling on the name.

That name was Morivec.

He had originally wanted to find this person next.

And the three women in the room, after hearing this, their faces were grim.

Only Christine still had a smile on her face.

“What do you plan to do, Baron Hall? Is it okay for me to recuperate for fifty days?”

“Yes, but you probably don’t want me to recuperate for fifty days, right?”

Her words hit Hall where it hurt.

How could Hall let Christine stay here for fifty days?

Not to mention the changes that would happen in these fifty days, if he stayed for fifty days, his flowers would have withered long ago.

When Himan found out he was missing, she would probably look for him.

And Archbishop Otto might also be concerned about West Town’s affairs.

If Malik went there directly, the longer he delayed, the more difficult it would be to investigate.

It was very likely that even if Christine went by then, she would find nothing.

“Then I’ll give my life to these Cateline gangs.”

“That’s not allowed, Young Master!”

Lov said in a panic.

“Of course not! What ideas do you have, Hall?”

“I plan to fight for Miss Christine and these gangs.”

Hall said jokingly.

Seeing him like this, Maria just wanted to say, ‘You really are something.’

She knew that Hall seemed to be a coward, but he never lost out.

The son of a duke was so young and already so desperate?

“Why?”

“To thank you for helping me out this morning.”

This naturally referred to the incident when Christine and Himan had met at the train station this morning.

If Christine hadn’t been arrested then…

Actually, Hall was also a little scared at that time.

After all, Christine was a fun-lover.

If he had really been there with Himan, Christine would have been arrested.

If he had been arrested, Christine would have been killed.

“Oh, just for that?”

Christine hit the silver plate with her knife and fork, seeming a little dissatisfied.

“Then what else could it be for?”

“Couldn’t it be because I’m cuter?”

To say whether Christine was cute or not, just looking at her looks and figure, she was definitely very cute.

But Hall knew her mind was complicated, so he didn’t say anything, just nodded in agreement.

Then he said.

“The food provided by this church is so plain. I’ll go and buy you a big meal.”

In the church, Christine would not be attacked.

And, Hall knew.

There was definitely someone waiting for him outside the church.

Nine in the evening.

Outside the Wolf Hall Cathedral.

Hall planned to go to a barbecue stall and an ice drink shop he had seen before to pack some delicious food.

But just as he walked out of the range guarded by the Silver Knights, he had already sensed a few hostile presences in the shadows.

“Don’t be in a hurry, everyone. I won’t be afraid of you black gangs. Wait until I help the Saintess Candidate and send her off. I’ll come and chat with you.”

He said to the minions in the dark.

A few people walked out of the shadows.

Hall didn’t care at all.

These were just low-level thugs he had provoked.

One of them was about to make a move on him when he just used a simple technique and broke his bones.

These people’s level was less than thirty.

A hundred of them would be no match for him.

“Then, on behalf of Boss Morivec, I accept Specialist William’s promise. You must have already seen that card.”

A small leader walked out of the shadows.

Hall simply assessed him with his battle premonition.

He was in his fifties.

But being in his fifties was no problem for being a manager in a Cateline gang.

So he said while at the barbecue stall.

“You guys are quite bold. Do you dare to cause trouble for other people?”

“This, I can’t tell Specialist William.”

“What’s there to not say?”

Hall said nonchalantly.

“Do you want my life?”

“Yes.”

With just Morivec’s gang’s efforts, to be honest, if Christine gave him a continuous blessing, he could kill his way through with his current level and equipment.

“That will have to wait until you’ve spoken.”

The small leader and the others had clearly not expected Hall to know the rules of the gangs so well.

So they thought it wouldn’t hurt to hear some key information.

“Then you wait obediently and don’t move. I won’t kill anyone yet.”

Hall walked into the cold drink shop.

After he had bought their favorite crushed ice for Lov and Christine respectively.

And for the barbecue, Hall returned to the barbecue stall, and the owner had also finished grilling the barbecue and some other dishes.

Although it was a bit greasy, it was just right with the crushed ice.

As for Maria’s crushed ice, he couldn’t be bothered to buy it since she was always causing trouble for him.

Then, Hall returned to the church under the observation of the gang members.

The small leader didn’t dare to make a move on Hall directly.

The dual halo of the Black Knights’ specialist and the Saintess Candidate was not easy to provoke.

The only one who could decide Hall’s life and death was their boss, Morivec.

Of course, he was a little afraid that Hall would just stay in the church and not come out.

In that case, they would need more threats.

But not long after, Hall, who had delivered the food to Christine and Lov and the others, appeared again.

Hall followed the small leader and walked into the greater snow.

He could run away with his Rainbow Sky Sword even if he couldn’t beat him.

What’s more, Hall had a key trump card.

He was not afraid.

So after he came out, he only said to the waiting small leader.

“Let’s go.”

Morivec’s base was in the underground.

There were also many underground passages in Wolf Hall.

But it was not as large as the underground space in Saint Louis and could not even be made into an underground street.

The underground passages here were from the Demon God era, a hiding place chosen by the local human residents when they were first broken through by the other races.

Later, it became a natural breeding ground for gangs, and as the gang forces expanded, they also actively expanded the underground.

When the other party’s expression relaxed a lot.

Maybe Hall had means on the surface, but it was not so easy to escape when he came underground.

So he began to introduce their gang’s scale to Hall.

And said that Morivec had united the big and small hundreds of gangs in Wolfsburg with the support of the godfather.

When he spoke of this great feat, Hall could clearly feel the pride in the other party’s chest.

But after hearing it, Hall only asked one question.

“Where is Nistav?”

“Nistav was completely eliminated four or five years ago. I didn’t expect you, kid, to be so knowledgeable. No wonder you dared to escort Christine here alone.”

After hearing this, Hall was a little speechless.

It seemed the situation in Wolf Hall was different from the original plot of the game.

Considering that Elizabeth was not dead and that for a period of time, it was this Elizabeth who had made contact with the godfather, he felt it was within an acceptable range.

And no wonder these gangs would intervene in matters concerning the Church.

Originally, Morivec had already united the Wolfsburg gangs.

“Of course I’m knowledgeable. The godfather behind him must have contributed a lot for Morivec to become the boss.”

“That’s right. The godfather is a great man who has a close relationship with Her Majesty the Empress. And he also got to know another great person and received their support, which directly helped him.”

When he talked about the godfather and the empress, the pride on this leader’s face became even stronger.

In the Kingdom of Cateline, no matter who you were, what your identity was, what kind of work you did, as long as you were not a traitor, your worship and faith in the empress were almost fanatical.

This caused the Empress of Cateline to have a long and huge variable.

“Oh, quite formidable.”

Hall answered perfunctorily and then asked, “Then how do you plan to deal with me?”

“That will depend on Boss Morivec’s meaning. Let’s go, we’re almost there.”

He saw the end of the passage.

When he saw that door, he was somewhat familiar.

In the game, it was the same when the player had the queen come and cooperate with Morivec for the first time.

“So you are Specialist William? You dare to come here and see me after seeing that card?”

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

Seeing Morivec in the black trench coat, Hall was not afraid at all, and even casually took the tea handed to him by the other party’s subordinate and took a sip.

This made Morivec stunned.

He had been in the underworld for so many years and had seen arrogant young people, but he had never seen one so arrogant.

Because in his eyes, being arrogant was not about striking a pose and shouting.

It was about not even looking at you.

That kind of expression that treated you as air and made you feel that you were no threat to him at all.

Especially now, his ten elite subordinates with knives were surrounding Hall.

The door Hall had just entered was sealed and locked.

This was the underground.

It was truly impossible to escape even with wings.

But Morivec had been the godfather’s fighter in his early years, and his level was also in his early eighties.

He was a pure strength-type warrior, and his master-grade greatsword could inflict the same amount of strength damage when it was swung.

In this small space, no young man was his opponent, even if the other party was also an elite.

“Aren’t you afraid of death?”

As a gang boss, Morivec was not the type to be scared.

He immediately released his aura.

A gust of wind was generated in the small space.

But Hall just asked unhurriedly.

“Are you a Cateline person?”

“Of course I am. It is precisely because I am a Cateline person that I am not afraid of the Church’s retaliation.”

“Oh, then you won’t kill me.”

Hall was extremely relaxed and didn’t even mean to draw his sword.

“What gives you such confidence?”

Morivec still felt that this young man was bluffing.

His identity as a Papal State official was useless here.

But the other party just took out an envelope from his pocket.

An envelope with a golden snowflake emblem.

“Since you are a Cateline person, then you should know this.”

At that moment, Morivec’s body was struck by lightning and he took two steps back.

He couldn’t understand why a Black Knights specialist from another country would have one of the top honors given by Her Majesty the Empress to the people of Cateline, the family of a close relative.
