Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

As he spoke, he reached for Elsa's hand, but missed. Elsa lowered her sword with her backhand and used the scabbard to block the man's arm.

"You are very rude, vampire." Elsa slowly raised her sword and blocked the man's hand. "I hope all of you vampires are not as superficial as you."

After saying that, Elsa drew back her sword and turned away.

The man was stunned.

"Stop! You can't leave like this."

The man immediately turned around and yelled in a slightly angry tone, but Elsa continued walking forward as if she hadn't heard him. The man immediately chased after Elsa, and the smile on his face faded.

The other three vampires seemed to have noticed something and quickly stepped forward to grab the vampire man.

"Hey, Kingsley, calm down, let's not cause trouble here..."

The female vampire tried to persuade him, her voice soft and charming, but she was immediately glared at by "Kingsley", who shook off the female vampire's hand.

Kingsley snorted coldly, jumped up and landed in front of Elsa. He stomped his foot hard, and the floor tiles under his feet shattered into pieces. The accumulated snow was swept away by the shock wave in an instant. His appearance blocked Elsa's way. Elsa looked at him and stopped.

"You called me superficial?"

Kingsley's expression turned cold, and a hint of mischief ignited in the depths of his blood-red eyes. He stared at Elsa and lowered his voice, "Human woman, do you know what you are saying? I advise you to know who you are talking to. You'd better give me an explanation today."

Elsa glanced at Kingsley and finally felt a little unhappy.

Elsa is not someone who is easily angered. Rather, when facing many people and many things, Elsa is relatively tolerant. After all, being angry will only make yourself more upset.

Kingsley looked at Charlie and Tricia again.

"And you, it's best..."

Before he could finish his words, Kingsley saw Elsa walking straight towards him. He smiled, and then saw Elsa kicking out a shadow. Before Kingsley could react, he felt a pain in his knee, and suddenly he lost his balance and fell forward.

Elsa lightly retracted her foot, bent her knees, and moved towards Kingsley's face.

bang——

Kingsley groaned in pain, flipped over in the air, and landed heavily on the ground with a bang. Elsa's kick was not heavy, but it was bound to cause some physical pain.

Kingsley was lying on the ground, barely able to open his eyes. His nose was bleeding and tears were almost coming out. He hadn't recovered from his confusion yet - he couldn't see clearly how Elsa made her move.

The other three vampires didn't react for a while.

"He's quite capable of making Aisha impatient."

Tricia commented on the side, and Charlie nodded in agreement. She and Elsa had been together for a long time, and although Elsa was very strong, to be honest, most people who knew Elsa in the town thought she was a friendly and easy-going person. She would never fight because of an offense from others, unless the target of the offense was someone around Elsa, otherwise Elsa would basically just ignore it.

"Third time is better than last time. This is your fourth time," Elsa said, looking down at Kingsley with some displeasure. "You bully the weak a lot, don't you? Tell me, have you ever killed anyone?"

Kingsley shook his head dazedly.

"force?"

Kingsley nodded slowly, then suddenly came to his senses and looked up at Elsa in shock and horror - he didn't know how he dared to admit it so bluntly.

"You...what did you do to me?"

Elsa sneered.

"You're such a jerk. I was just thinking I might have hit the wrong guy."

As she spoke, Elsa raised her foot and crushed Kingsley's elbow and the ground together. Kingsley screamed and rolled on the ground in pain. His blood dyed the surrounding snow scene bright red - he was a vampire, but vampires like him with impure blood only had slightly stronger self-healing abilities, and could not withstand the severe pain caused by the broken bones.

"I didn't mean to cause any trouble, but since you've bumped into me, I'll have you take me to find your lord."

357. The Moment Alman Waits For

Aisha believes in not actively using violence - not using violence against others except in special circumstances such as self-defense.

Violence itself is not something that should be promoted. The stronger the power, the more so. If a problem can be simply solved without violence, Elsa will naturally prefer not to take action.

After all, according to the laws of the Empire, as a holy nun of the Holy See, Elsa does not actually have the power to directly judge criminals. Although the Empire will certainly not hold Elsa accountable, Elsa does not think that this preferential treatment is a good thing. It has nothing to do with strength and justice itself. Rather than taking advantage of the Empire's compromise with her to seek operational and psychological convenience for herself, Elsa would rather use due process to endorse her actions.

But having said that, Elsa is not so rigid as to turn a blind eye to bad behavior - respecting the authority of the law is one thing, but if the law can no longer be enforced, Elsa will not stubbornly adhere to the old way.

Are we going to let this bad guy go unpunished? That's ridiculous.

Elsa never thought she could be like the Great Sage, who always held herself to the same rigid, unchanging standards. Special cases require special treatment, right? Standards can be flexible. If the law fails, Elsa will naturally have to correct it in her own way.

So Kingsley was beaten.

"Don't kill me, please don't kill me..."

Kingsley covered his crushed arm in pain, bruises and blood spread across his skin, and broken bone spurs protruded from under the skin and between the blood vessels, looking so shocking - this was not an injury that would cause lifelong disability for the vampires, but the pain was inevitable. Kingsley's face was covered in cold sweat. He himself could not remember how long it had been since he had been injured. He also always felt that his strength was enough to walk sideways in most places.

But it's clear that this ego has caused him trouble today.

"please stop!"

The three vampires rushed up at this time, but they just protected Kingsley behind them and faced Elsa tremblingly, and no one intended to take action.

"Do you know who you injured?"

One of the vampire men threatened without any confidence, but before he could finish his sentence, the woman glared at him with a look of disappointment and he shut up tactfully.

The woman took a step forward, looked at Elsa with some fear, and forced a smile: "Please let Lord Kingsley go, our guests who have come from afar... Lord Kingsley is a direct subordinate of Baron Fisher. If you kill him, it will be very difficult for us..."

She didn't threaten Elsa directly like that man, but the meaning of her words was very clear. Baron Fisher would support them, so she hoped Elsa would be more "sensible".

In other words, she had no other choice in the face of the current situation. She was sure to lose by fighting. Even if they all attacked together, they couldn't beat Elsa. So, apart from giving in, giving her a way out, and then making some threats, the woman had no other choice.

Elsa just stared at the woman who was speaking with an ambiguous look. The woman broke out in a cold sweat and felt creepy.

Aisha said jokingly, "Really? Now you know how difficult it is. If you had known this earlier, wouldn't you have just held him back? - Oh, I see. You didn't think that he would be the one to suffer in the end, not me, so you let him do whatever he wanted, right?"

As she said that, Aisha smiled.

"Then let me answer you again - if I kill all of you now, won't there be no evidence?"

Several people's faces froze, and their muscles tensed unconsciously.

But Elsa was just talking casually. If she really wanted to kill him, she would have done it long ago. There was no need to wait until now.

"Stand up first," Elsa folded her arms over her chest and looked at Kingsley. "I asked you to take us to see the Baron. You have no right to refuse."

"Of course! I'll take you there..."

Kingsley gave in consciously.

Aisha asked again: "Also, let me ask you one more thing. How many outsiders have come here recently?"

"Outsiders..." Kingsley grimaced. "Every once in a while, foreign caravans and adventurers arrive here. I don't know the details... But, but I can check for you! We have records!"

Elsa shook her head.

The records left when entering the city are useless. Anyone can make up something. If there is really someone worth paying attention to who comes here, they will definitely not leave clues in this way.

"Lead the way first. I will ask your baron this question myself."

"Okay, okay!"

"Oh, by the way, I still have some questions for you." Aisha smiled and looked at the other three vampires dimly. "Have you ever killed anyone?"

"No……"

"without……"

“Killed… ah…?”

Elsa's gaze turned to the vampire man who had remained silent. The turbidity in the man's eyes gradually returned to clarity. He was suddenly startled and met Elsa's gaze. The other two vampires looked at him with complicated expressions. Kingsley also looked at him with horror, not fear, but anger.

Everyone can see the situation clearly now. If one of them kills someone, it will undoubtedly make their situation worse.

"I...I just..."

The man was about to say something else, but Aisha interrupted him.

"Why did you kill someone?"

"I just accidentally... I... wanted some fresh and delicious blood..."

As the man spoke, his eyes became cloudy.

"I bought some privately from someone, you know, those 'blood whores'..."

There are people who dress themselves up to cater to the tastes of a certain group of vampires, and then strictly control their diet or take some drugs to make their "taste" become more "sweet", and then sell themselves at a high price. It is like a brothel, except that the people listed for sale there are both men and women, and in addition to their bodies, they also sell their blood.

There are also such people in the territory of the vampires.

"Her blood was really delicious, but I couldn't afford more money, so I... I attacked her... I just wanted to take a little blood, but I lost control..."

Things are very clear here.

At this time, Tricia suddenly spoke up, "There's a chronic poison that causes the body and blood vessels to atrophy, slowly squeezing the body to produce more blood to maintain vitality. It also makes the blood taste unusually delicious and tempting, but this poison is very harmful to the human body. Basically, an ordinary person will die from the loss of vitality if they take it for a month.

As far as I know, some vampires once bought slaves, turned them into blood slaves, and then used this potion to turn those slaves into delicacies for their enjoyment. However, this method is too cruel and is strictly prohibited within the empire."

Elsa glanced at Tricia. She didn't think that Tricia would explain these things to her for no reason. Since Tricia had spoken of it, there was no doubt that it had appeared.

"Then all of you should come with me and meet the Baron. I'm very curious whether the Baron knows what you have done in his territory."

A smile appeared on Alman's lips.

That's right, punishing evil and promoting good, that's how Elsa is - the Baron's hands are not clean.

Alman felt that the moment he had been waiting for was about to arrive.

……

------------

358. The Search for the Ancestor

Just like she did to Kingsley, Elsa crushed the vampire man's arm, which surprised Alman a little - he felt that Elsa seemed to be too gentle.

Based on what Alman has known about Elsa during this period, he almost knows Elsa's code of conduct: killing innocent people means paying with one's life, which is the most basic bottom line. Other situations are handled according to the circumstances. Although most of them are sent directly to the court, it can be seen that Elsa has her own set of principles.

But Elsa didn't kill Kingsley.

"I thought you were going to kill them."

Alman was obviously puzzled by Elsa's "understatement" - if he were Elsa, since he possessed absolutely powerful power, then on the basis of retaining Kingsley's usefulness, he would definitely impose severe punishment on the "guilty" Kingsley, because Kingsley offended him, so he would definitely make Kingsley pay the price for his arrogance. In Alman's view, this is the thinking of ordinary people.

Even if Kingsley doesn't die, should Laurel be spared?

Aisha gave Alman a meaningful look.

Elsa naturally had no intention of killing Kingsley. She would step on him just to teach Kingsley a lesson. The things Kingsley confessed under hypnosis were worth the pain he suffered, but it was not sufficient evidence to convict him, let alone kill him directly.

As for Laurel, Elsa had other uses for him.

"What? You want them dead?"

Aisha asked back.

Of course, Alman hopes that Kingsley will die, because Kingsley is of no use to him, or rather, Kingsley is of no use to him when he is alive. But if Kingsley dies, it will undoubtedly intensify the conflict between Elsa and Baron Fisher, which will be more conducive to the implementation of his plan - to push the baron to his side.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, Alman didn't dare to show it.

"Of course not..." Alman quickly denied, "It's just... in our vampire clan, if he dares to challenge the superior, he will definitely be severely punished and killed..."

There is no such thing as laws for the vampires, unless there are such regulations in the local area. Otherwise, they are indeed a barbaric tribe that does whatever they want. This is also determined by their racial characteristics - most of them live in the countries of other races in a parasitic way.

Aisha ignored Alman.

She was not blind, and she could see that Alman had been trying to escape, but Elsa didn't care much, because there was no way Alman could escape under Elsa's nose.

Before entering the castle, Elsa got a brief understanding of the situation here.

Kingsley actually has a high status in Baron Fisher's territory. He is a powerful subordinate of Baron Fisher. He used to be a human, but later he voluntarily surrendered to Baron Fisher and became a vampire. Since he is the baron's direct descendant, Kingsley's status is not low.

Here, Kingsley is used to being domineering, and Baron Fisher seems to turn a blind eye to some things that violate the Empire's agreement. In fact, the blood clan's territory is not an important place for the Empire. As long as the blood clan does not endanger the lives of the people or cross the bottom line of the agreement with the Empire, it is just a tacit unspoken rule. It is just like some lords who impose heavy taxes. The same is true for the blood clan, but the difference is that some people in the noble territory have no power to leave that land, while people in the blood clan's territory can leave at any time. The blood clan has no right to obstruct it, otherwise they will be enemies of the Empire.

In other words, if the vampires do not manage their business well, the sheep in the sheepfold will run away. Therefore, even a vampire like Kingsley has never actually killed anyone.

On the land of the empire, one must abide by the rules set by the empire.

And now, a vampire has broken the rules, even if he is just Kingsley's subordinate - it seems that his name is Laurel, and like Kingsley, he was once a human, but he is not a direct descendant of the Baron's bloodline, but a direct subordinate of Kingsley. He has no direct relationship with the Baron at all, but since he is a vampire in the Baron's territory, the Baron must take responsibility for his actions.

"Baron Fisher has been secretly expanding his power. There are actually quite a few people like Kingsley, but he should be considered one of the strongest. Just like you humans always recruit a few retainers or cultivate your core subordinates, we vampires usually cultivate a loyal bloodline - but Baron Fisher's bloodline can only produce people of this level at most."
