Chapter 72 (1/2)
”It's impossible --!”
After getting the unexpected answer, Karan was immediately shocked - he did feel some traces of emptiness before entering the door, but it should not be the reaction after the mechanism was opened!
Loren, with his head down, was covered by his sideburns, and his smile was aroused. He stared at the burning snake Rune in his right arm.
Yes, Karan is a very powerful wizard, an experienced caster, and proficient in alchemy. With his new ”debut” wizard, it is impossible to deceive him with any small tricks.
But if someone named Asriel helps, it's not necessarily.
Before Karan stepped into the gate, it was completely covered by the guy's power, which is why he can detect the traces of emptiness outside the door.
If it is in the wilderness, it is difficult to do it by relying on the spell seal left by Asriel. However, it is a pity that this is a church closed on all sides. Even if it can not really distort the reality, a little deception can still be done.
In other words, the whole church has become Loren's home.
But the more experienced people are, the more stubborn they believe in their own judgment. Just after being surprised, Karan regained his composure and smiled sarcastically: ”well done, Lord Loren Turin. You almost cheated me just now.”
”It has been opened, just by you?” Karan's eyes were like looking at a reptile under one foot: ”a little apprentice? I admit you are very powerful, but you are too arrogant. What are you?!”
”Let me guess. Ah... I see. You want to delay with me as long as possible until Peter's reinforcements?” the tall man almost snorted with a smile, ”you'll never wait, because they will die!”
Loren's eyes were still as calm as obsidian and gently shook his head: ”you're half right. Yes, I want to delay a little time, but not for reinforcements.”
”In fact, I know what your goal is, and I'm here because I have the same purpose.” Lauren smiled: ”if you're lucky, maybe we can cooperate.”
”Want to play the trick again?” Karan smiled cruelly. His right hand had raised his wand: ”sorry, I won't be fooled twice!”
”What you want is a vampire hiding in vimpal college.” Loren said directly without concealment: ”coincidentally, I want it too.”
This question has plagued Loren countless times before. Why does Karan want vampires?
People should have the ultimate purpose to do anything, otherwise it is unreasonable. Peter will lock up the vampire. On the one hand, it is probably because it is dangerous, but the deeper reason is probably because he wants to study this extremely rare monster. After all, the materials and individuals so cherished are too rare.
But Karan is definitely not. This is a person who is extremely interested in immediate interests. Magic or alchemy are just tools for him. There must be another reason why such a person craves vampires so much, even to the point of madness.
Under the influence of nothingness, vampires mutate into almost perfect life individuals. In fact, vampires' bodies are not powerful - their thin physique is indeed better than human beings, but they are nothing in front of trolls and ogres.
What's really amazing about this species is that it has a very long life!
People who can only live for decades can't long for vampires, and the more ambitious the guy is, the more so. Only time can fill their inner desire, let them climb to a high position, taste power, realize their ambition or make a comeback. Everything takes time!
”... and you, Mr. callan, no doubt you are a very ambitious man. You can't resist such temptation, not to mention that this' treasure 'seems so easy to get.” Loren's expression calmed: ”so even if you are coerced by fascism to work for him and offer extremely harsh conditions, you must get it.”
”No, you have to get it - if you really let the Lord farnesis notice, you won't have a chance again. If you expect well, the Lord's army should be on its way. Not only vimpal college, but also you don't have much time.”
If Karen could keep calm when Loren said ”vampire”; But now he can't even calm the wizard at least.
