“Name.”
The vampire, doubly locked in shackles and a magic-suppressing ring, sat on the chair with his head down, not saying a word.
Luo Mi sat opposite him and knocked on the table solemnly, “Confess and receive lenience, or do you want to take a holy bath?”
The vampire raised his head, glared at Luo Mi fiercely, and said reluctantly: “Didn’t I tell you to call me Viscount Peidi?”
Still putting on airs of nobility at this time… Luo Mi muttered inwardly.
Anos, who was sitting next to Luo Mi, asked, “What’s your last name?”
Peidi curled his lips: “Podoval.”
Luo Mi and Anos looked at each other.
Archbishop Ellis’ full name was Ellis Podoval.
Luo Mi asked: “What is your relationship with Archbishop Ellis?”
Peidi kept his mouth shut and showed an uncooperative attitude.
Anos frowned, and the cross emblem on his gloves lit up slightly. Then the magic-suppressing ring on Peidi’s neck also lit up, making the vampire’s face distorted with pain.
After holding on for a while, Peidi still couldn’t hold on any longer and said with difficulty: “He is the descendant of my father.”
“Father?” Luo Mi was a little surprised, “How old are you?”
The Magic Forbidden Ring returned to silence, and Peidi spoke more fluently: “He is only over a hundred years old. My father was over three hundred years old when he died. My father gave a First Embrace to a human hundreds of years ago, and that human possessed a part of our family’s bloodline. That Ellis is the descendant of that human, so it is not wrong to say that he is my father’s descendant.”
Luo Mi thought for a moment: “So you are immune to Archbishop Ellis’s holy light?”
Peidi snorted lightly: “For us vampires, the suppression of our ancestors over their descendants is absolute.”
Luo Mi saw that Anos and Reinhardt’s expressions became serious, and couldn’t help but wonder: “What’s wrong?”
Anos shook his head slightly, but still explained: “If someone who inherited the bloodline of the vampires infiltrates the Holy See’s divine legion and silver knights, the other side will be immune to our attacks when conquering the Demon Realm, and the result will be quite horrific.”
“Only our noble blood race has this trait.” Peidi said proudly, “Other demons will only be killed by powerful descendants.”
Luo Mi couldn’t help but say, “In a sense, this is the basis for the race to remain vibrant and progressive, right?”
Peidi said disdainfully: “I look down on food that has no hierarchy.”
Luo Mi was not angry, he just felt that there was something wrong with this vampire’s brain: “Don’t you realize the current situation?”
Even though he was now a prisoner, he was still so tough!
Anos pondered for a moment, then asked, “Did you stimulate the blood of Sir Ellis? Why did you do this?”
Peidi snorted lightly: “I did it, so what? Ever since he came to Losa City, my food supply has been greatly reduced, forcing me to go out hunting by myself. This is just a small revenge on him.”
Reinhardt explained to Luo Mi and Anos based on the data from the investigation: “When Archbishop Ellis first took office, he purified all the little demons raised by the nobles in the diocese and expelled a group of half-bloods. After that, he also banned anyone in the diocese from raising demons, and banned all transactions related to demons.”
Anos was not surprised by this: “Most of the nobles raise succubi. They indulge in them for a long time and neglect their work, which also brings a lot of conflicts. It is not appropriate.”
As for expelling the half-bloods, Anos did not quite agree with it, but now was not the time to talk about that.
He confirmed, “Why did you wait until Sir Ellis had already come to Losa City for several years before you stimulated his bloodline? Is it related to Balk Sheen?”
Peidi’s eyes flickered: “What does it have to do with him?”
Luo Mi had an idea in his mind: It seems that there is a connection.
He whispered to Anos, “This guy is so tough, maybe he is waiting for Count Sheen to rescue him.”
Almost at the same time as Luo Mi finished saying this, Reinhardt’s communicator rang.
After he answered the call, his expression quickly became subtle, and he said to Anos: “Your Highness, Count Sheen is here to visit.”
Luo Mi opened his hands to Anos.
Anos shook his head and said, “Say it’s inconvenient for me.”
“Wait.” Luo Mi’s eyes rolled, “Why don’t you tell Count Sheen that we caught a vampire and give him some hints to see how he reacts.”
He glanced at the somewhat rebellious vampire and said deliberately, “Perhaps Count Sheen will kill to silence the witness?”
Anos thought about it and felt that it made sense: “Okay.”
When Reinhardt sent Anos out, Luo Mi quickly came to Peidi and put his hand into his clothes.
Peidi’s pale face instantly turned red, and his tone changed: “What are you doing? I’m going to call for help!”
“Shut up!” Luo Mi scolded him, “Where’s the stuff? Where’s the stuff?”
He still remembered the black feather that the vampire had in his hand when he met Peidi before. His intuition told him that the feather must be related to Anos’s fall!
Soon, he found the black feather in the inner pocket of Peidi’s shirt.
Luo Mi shivered as soon as he touched the feather.
This jet-black feather was extremely cold when you touched it, like a piece of ice. It was shiny, the down was smooth, and the feather root was as hard as jade. If you looked closely, you would find that there was a faint black light around the feather – no, it was not light, the feather seemed to be absorbing the surrounding light.
Luo Mi had seen Anos’ wings. Although they were illusory wings made of light, when he saw this feather, Luo Mi inevitably thought of Anos.
Luo Mi looked at the feather carefully and asked the system: “Is there any test?”
[This feather contains strong magic power. If you want to further test it, I would need the host to provide points.]
Luo Mi only had about ten points now, so of course he was reluctant to waste it on this, so he turned to look at Peidi: “Where did this feather come from?”
Peidi leaned weakly on the chair, the blush still on his face. He stared at Luo Mi angrily, as if he wanted to eat him up.
Hearing Luo Mi’s question, Peidi turned his face away: “I won’t tell you!”
Luo Mi said, “Hey, then don’t blame me for giving you something fun.”
He returned to the table and took out two heads of garlic from the drawer – he bought them specially for cooking for Anos last time, otherwise the “holy communion” regulations of the church would not allow the addition of these spices.
When Peidi smelled garlic, his expression changed.
….
After hearing that the Church had captured a vampire, Balk Sheen’s expression was normal, and he only showed a relieved smile: “As expected of His Highness the Son of God. The Archbishop’s injury may be related to the devil, and Your Highness should interrogate him thoroughly.”
Anos nodded: “Of course.”
Balk still had a respectful smile on his face. “I came here this time to ask Your Highness…how does the Holy See plan to deal with Archbishop Ellis?”
Anos’s gaze paused on him and he smiled slightly: “This is not something I can decide. I need to return to the Holy City and ask His Holiness the Pope for a decision.”
Balk said, “Oh,” and said, “You mean to take Archbishop Ellis to the holy city of Bethlehem?”
Anos nodded.
Balk frowned and paused for a while before saying, “Reed County is so prosperous and stable because of the Archbishop’s blessing. We are all very grateful to His Excellency the Archbishop. I wonder if His Royal Highness the Son of God can allow the Archbishop to stay in Reed County for the sake of the people’s wishes?”
Anos’ expression did not change. He just used the same words and smiled to refuse: “This matter needs to be decided by His Holiness the Pope. I have no right to decide on my own.”
Balk nodded regretfully: “That can’t be helped. I hope His Royal Highness the Son of God can say a few good words in front of His Holiness the Pope.”
After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye, seeming to not care about the vampire at all.
Looking at his departing back, Anos frowned slightly.
….
Back in the interrogation room of the church, Anos stopped in his tracks as soon as he entered the door and was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Peidi slumped limply on the interrogation chair, his cheeks flushed, his eyes blurry and lifeless, with tears in the corners of his eyes, his breathing was rapid, with sweat dripping down his loose shirt, he looked like he had just been through a “battle”, and he was mumbling “no” and “spare me” incoherently.
Luo Mi stood aside, covering his clothes in a panic, as if he had just taken off his clothes.
There was also a pungent smell of garlic in the air.
Anos was silent for two seconds before asking, “What happened?”
Luo Mi stuffed the black feather into his clothes and coughed: “Nothing, I was using garlic to force a confession, and I accidentally got it on myself.”
Anos walked over to them and looked at them carefully, then raised his eyebrows slightly: “What are you hiding?”
Luo Mi’s expression froze: “Uh…”
For a moment, he couldn’t think of how to make up a lie that would not be considered a lie.
Anos still looked at him calmly, as if waiting for him to hand it over.
The system couldn’t help but ask:
[Why doesn’t the host hand over the feather?]
“I’m afraid that after this black feather meets Anos…” Luo Mi was stunned when he said this: Yes, why is he hiding?
If the black feather could “pollute” Anos and make him corrupt, wouldn’t it be better for him to just hand it over to Anos?
It’s all because I was too absorbed in catching vampires with Anos recently! Luo Mi complained inwardly while taking out a black feather from his pocket and handed it to Anos: “It’s nothing, actually…”
Anos was stunned.
The moment the black feather touched Anos’s fingers, Luo Mi felt the palm of his hand that was in contact with the feather suddenly turn from cold to warm.
In front of him, the feathers that were darker than the night sky seemed like ink marks washed by clear water. The color faded quickly, and in just a few seconds it turned from pitch black to pure white.
The system’s surprised voice sounded in Luo Mi’s mind:
[Now the power contained in the feather has changed from magic to holy light.]
Luo Mi looked at Anos in shock.
Anos stared at the feather for a moment, and his ears slowly turned red.
Luo Mi: “…Your Highness the Holy Son?”
Anos said a little embarrassedly: “What are you going to do with this? It’s not a good thing.”
Luo Mi looked at Anos in confusion, and after a moment he asked tentatively: “Didn’t you see its color change?”
“Change?” Anos’s blue eyes showed undisguised surprise, “Hasn’t it always been white?”
Luo Mi suddenly remembered that he saw Anos as a fallen angel in the future on the Wall of Sighs, but Anos himself could not see it. He suddenly understood: “Uh, this, is it yours?”
Anos’ eyes were filled with embarrassment again: “I sometimes shed feathers, and I thought I was very careful, but I didn’t expect you to pick it up… Well, let’s throw it away.”
So Anos really has wings? Luo Mi had never seen Anos’ real wings and thought the light wings were just a special effect of Anos.
But the angels on earth changed from light wings to physical wings that shed feathers. How come they suddenly became more down-to-earth…
After Luo Mi complained in his heart, he saw that Anos seemed to be about to take the feather away, so he quickly snatched it back: “Once it’s in my hand, it’s mine!”
At this time, Anos was no longer a standard saint like before and showed some human emotions. He looked at him shyly and anxiously several times, as if he was thinking about how to persuade him, but in the end, he sighed softly and turned his head away: “It’s up to you then.”
Luo Mi heard that Anos’ tone even had a hint of grievance, and couldn’t help laughing out loud: “It’s just a feather, there’s no need to be so shy, right?”
If someone asked for a hair of his, Luo Mi would also find it strange, but he would not react so strongly.
Anos exhaled lightly and made a cross on his chest. His emotions had gradually calmed down. Hearing this, his ears almost turned red again. He just glared at him and said, “What if someone collects your fallen feathers every day and auctions them under the name of ‘Fallen Feathers of Angel on Earth’? Will the buyer spread the news everywhere?”
