Did the villainous professor survive today?

Chapter 77 Same Origin

"You—how did you suddenly become like this?"

As a fifth-tier paladin, Sistine naturally understood what the changes in Krenk meant.

This means that Krenk instantly transitioned from the early stage of Tier 2 to the middle stage of Tier 2.

Even for her, it took almost half a semester to achieve this.

In Sistine's mind, such a thing was impossible.

But this has now actually happened to Kroenke.

"Okay, I've actually been trying to keep my rapid leveling up a secret from everyone."

Kroenke made a helpless expression.

Then, he pointed to Alice, who was standing there dumbfounded, and threw a heavy, black cauldron at her without hesitation: "Remember what I said at the banquet before, that only you can see her, so I hope you can help keep this elf a secret?"

""

The first part of the sentence refers to the system upgrade.

The second half of the sentence describes the events that occurred at the previous banquet.

Both statements were true, but in Sistine's ears, they came to mean that Krenk had undergone an extremely terrifying upgrade and transformation thanks to this newly contracted blood elf.

Vampires do indeed have the means to become stronger by devouring flesh and blood.

Therefore, as a blood elf contractor, Krenk could indeed adopt this concept and mislead others.

And that was indeed the scene Sistine witnessed.

After Alice ate the vampire, Krenk's body underwent a rapid and dramatic transformation.

"By the way, don't worry, after I made a contract with her, neither of us killed or hurt anyone because of it."

This is the truth.

Kroenke only killed Allel and V on the night he traveled through time.

You successfully deceived Sistine, making her believe that your increased strength was due to Alice, thus avoiding the fate of death that would have been discovered and the truth about your time travel revealed.

Sistine looked at Krenk with a complicated expression, then glanced at Alice.

Where did you find her?

"The abyss of the sea of ​​dreams."

Kroenke did not hide anything.

"abyss?!"

Sistine was shocked. "How did you end up in a place like that?"

"Back then, I wanted to form a contract with a spirit, so I went to the Sea of ​​Dreams with Olivia. After that, you can think of it as encountering a landslide—" Krenk sighed, making a hurried gesture, "It was too dangerous. I thought we were never going to come back."

Playing the victim appropriately can prevent the other party from delving into what actually happened.

"I see."

Sistine nodded and took a deep breath.

Then, she pointed the sword of Pegasus at Alice and demanded, "Very well, then answer me: as a contracted spirit, have you ever been disloyal to Krenk in any way? Have you ever had any thoughts that were detrimental to him? Have you ever used him?"

When Sistine learned that Krenk had used this method to become stronger, her first reaction was that Alice might be using Krenk to achieve some ulterior motive.

Such things have been documented before. Some elves have exploited loopholes to bypass the rules of the elven contract oath and brainwash their masters after the contract is signed.

Alice was found in the Abyss, a place fraught with danger and filled with high-level beings. It's possible that Krenk might encounter a similar situation.

Alice tilted her head and looked at Sistine, without answering.

"answer the questions."

Sistine's almost transparent eyes rippled with murderous intent.

If the other party continues to play dumb, even if Alice grows up to be this adorable, she will not hesitate to chop her down.

"She is mute."

Kroenke thought for a moment, then added, "At least since I met her, I've never said a word to her."

"So what do you know about this elf?"

Sistine glanced at Krenk out of the corner of her eye and asked.

"She is a sword spirit, sealed somewhere in the abyss, and then I happened to meet her. Then, we made a contract, which brought her into reality. As for her origins and why she was sealed, I know nothing about them."

Krenk's eyes darted around before he added, "Also, I only touched this sword once before forming a contract, so I don't want her to be known by outsiders without knowing her background."

Sistine digested Krenk's words and nodded.

Kroenke's words have clearly explained the whole story.

After accidentally forming a contract with an elf named Alice, her fiancé Krenk unexpectedly discovered that he could become stronger by feeding Alice flesh and blood.

The only uncertainty is whether there will be a corresponding price to pay for this gift.

She clenched her right fist and placed it over her heart, staring intently at Alice, and uttered a harsh vow: "I swear by my Lord Aksilai that if you dare to harbor any ill will toward your master Krenk, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth, until one of us reaches the end of our lives."

Alice didn't speak, but occasionally glanced at Krenk out of the corner of her eye, her gaze carrying a meaningful meaning.

Sistine stared at Alice for a few seconds, frowned, and finally withdrew Pegasus.

At that moment, the faint sound of approaching, chaotic hoofbeats could be heard in the distance.

Several knights, also clad in heavy armor and with griffin emblems on their breastplates, rode up to the scene: "Sir Sistine! Professor Krenk! Are you alright?!"

The leading knight approached the two and inquired with concern.

"It's alright," Sistine said.

"What happened?"

Sistine removed her helmet and pointed to the spot where Krenk had previously exploded with blood: "Rhine Knight, we encountered a Azure Demon Lizard deep inside. We fought it fiercely, and then Krenk cast a spell that completely wiped it out."

Sistine was determined to keep Alice a secret from Krenk.

The fewer people who know about her background, the better.

So, just to be on the safe side, she kept the vampire a secret for the time being as well.

"I see."

The knight named Rhine nodded. "Is there anything else we need to do?"

"No need, go back."

Sistine whistled, and the white horse that had been hiding far away immediately came back.

Krenk whistled like Sistine, but there was no response; it seemed he wasn't planning on coming back.

Sistine, seated on her horse, looked at the slightly embarrassed Krenk and extended her hand: "If you don't mind the blood on my armor, we can go together."

Kroenke nodded, reached out and took Sistine's hand, then used the momentum to mount his horse.

"hold me."

Kroenke gripped Sistine's waist with both hands, and she squeezed her thighs together, causing the white horse beneath her to immediately move.

The knights made a note of the surrounding situation and then left the scene.

Kroenk glanced back one last time at the battlefield, still shaken.

If he were to fight the vampire alone, without Pegasus's lock-on, he would likely choose to bet on Alice's burst blood.

Then, due to the immunity of blood relatives, one's own trump card will become completely ineffective.

Then, due to a lack of magic, they will enter into close combat.

If Sistine hadn't been there, he couldn't say for sure how the close-quarters combat would have turned out.

Krenk frowned deeply.

The battle is over, and the promise with "L" has been fulfilled.

But deeper questions have emerged.

Why do the vampires created by Alice and the Order of the Silent exhibit bloodline immunity?

His guess was that the Silent Order created vampires in order to find vampires in Saint Auster.

Cute Alice is sealed at the very bottom of the abyss —

If he did discover Alice in St. Auster, then there are still clues to follow.

But the Abyss has absolutely nothing to do with Saint Oster.

Besides, if Alice wasn't lying to herself, then Alice was sealed away a thousand years ago.

However, she developed a bloodline immunity to the vampires that were recently artificially created.

This also raised doubts for Kroenke.

He always felt that something was missing; if this piece of information could be filled in, everything would be clear.

Wait a minute, what method does the Silent Order use to create vampires?

Krenk's pupils dilated.

This may be the best way to find out Alice's origins.

I'll have to find an opportunity to investigate this matter privately later.

Kroenke knew that as "V", his deal with L was over, and the rest of the vampire business was no longer his concern.

If you proactively ask L, there may be a risk of exposure.

"By the way, Krenk," Sistine's voice brought Krenk back to reality. She asked in a voice only she and Krenk could hear, "You participated in the patrol today because you knew it was here?"

Sistine was referring to the vampire.

Kroenke considered his words carefully before saying, "Last week, after the first class, Principal Abraham approached me and said that the law enforcement had recently caught a vampire in the sewers of the upper city and asked me to keep an eye out for any recent anomalies."

"I see."

Sistine suddenly realized that Kroenke had made a special trip to Anvil Prison a while ago, perhaps to investigate clues.

Immediately, her expression turned serious: "Two vampires have appeared in quick succession—is someone artificially creating them?"

"We'll have to investigate secretly."

Krenk nodded. He also wanted to find out how it was made. Then, as if he had thought of something, he said, "Thank you."

"Why are you suddenly saying thank you?"

Sistine was a little embarrassed by Krenk's sudden action.

"Thank you for keeping it a secret, and also—that vow you just made."

Because they were riding the same horse, Krenk still held Sistine's waist from behind, his hot breath tickling the back of her neck as he spoke.

"Um—" Sistine's face involuntarily flushed red, and she stammered, "N-nothing! No need to thank me! It's what I should do! Besides—after all, I'm your future wife! It's normal to do this! Yes! It's normal!"

"Thanks."

"I already told you not to say anything! No need for your thanks—"

"Thanks."

"You're so annoying!"

Sistine puffed out her cheeks and pinched Krenk's thigh hard.

You have increased Sistine's favorability towards you.
