Jiang Xiaotan and Eveli returned to the bookstore first and paid for the books they bought.

"Thank you for driving away those scum, and I'll give you the book," the shopkeeper said.

"How can that be done? Paying for the books you like is a kind of happiness." Jiang Xiaotan said.

Originally, he took action to help Eveli, but he only helped the bookstore by the way. Moreover, these magic books are high-priced items, and it would be unscrupulous to take them for free.

The shop owner couldn't resist him, so he gave them a half-price reward and solemnly stated that if they buy books again in the future, it will be half-price.

Finally, the shop owner said mysteriously: "If I want to find any banned books, you can tell me and I can find a way."

Jiang Xiao said with a smile: "Okay, thank you."

Eveli also bought three books and wrapped them carefully.

Before picking it up, Jiang Xiaotan accidentally glanced at it and found that the cover of the book that the huntress was carefully sandwiching looked familiar.

It's the book "The Spiritless Lizardman Squire".

I didn’t expect this girl to have quite a strong taste.

Well, speaking of it, when she faced the heretic inquisitor just now, her attitude was obviously not as strong as before. Could it be because she had this book on her?

Young, too young.

The two originally planned to purchase some protective gear and the like, but they were distracted by the magicians and went back after buying the books.

After lunch, Jiang Xiaotan was leaning on the bed and reading the newly bought "Eastern Continent Scenery" when an attendant knocked on the door and came in.

"Master Baldwin invites you to go to his room to discuss something."

Mostly asking about what happened in the morning?

Jiang Xiaotan thought so and followed the attendant to the third floor of the fortress.

The guildmaster's room had been locked before. After he passed through the thick door, he saw how spacious the guildmaster's room was.

This place can be used as a martial arts arena!

Then Jiang Xiaotan saw the wooden dummy and arrow target beside the wall.

Well, it seems that the guild leader really regards this place as a martial arts arena.

Master Baldwin was standing on the balcony looking at the scenery outside.

From here you can see far outside the city of Constantine, and you can even see the ruins of the deserted city a few kilometers away - the old Valenvinia Castle, which the vampires call the "Old Capital".

"Coming?"

Sensing Jiang Xiaotan's entrance, the guild leader walked over. He had taken off his armor and was wearing a loose robe.

"Master, do you have anything to do with me?"

"First practice with me." Master Baldwin threw a sword over.

Jiang Xiaotan took the sword and pulled it out. He saw that it was not a wooden sword, but a shining silver sword.

"Is this... a real sword?"

"Don't worry, it's not sharpened." The burly man also took a sword himself.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaotan had stood still, he shouted "Start!" and then attacked.

"Wow, so fast!"

Seeing the guild leader making a horizontal slash, Jiang Xiaotan hurriedly raised his sword to block it.

The sword was so powerful that he thought he couldn't block it with one hand, so he put his left hand on the sword and used both hands to catch the sword.

However, the president's sword was easily deflected, which made him feel a little incredible.

Feint?

"Good answer!"

Unexpectedly, although the president was burly, he was very agile. He immediately took advantage of the momentum of the sword being bounced away, turned 360 degrees, and hit him with another even more powerful slash.

Jiang Xiaotan immediately dodged to the right, narrowly avoiding the sword, and then quickly jumped back half a step to distance himself.

However, this also caused him to lose the opportunity to pursue. The president's heavy slash was too forward, and he obviously lowered his body to adjust his body balance.

But he didn't leave Jiang Xiaotan a chance to counterattack, he immediately stepped forward and used a single-handed thrust.

However, because he had already distanced himself, Jiang Xiaotan raised his sword and blocked the sword. Then he followed the sword's momentum and raised it, and the president's sword was actually missed by him.

However, the opponent was indeed a master hunter. The president gave a false kick and took advantage of Jiang Xiaotan to dodge. He used his body to spin around to pinpoint the position of the sword spinning in the air. Then he used the momentum of the roundhouse kick to jump back and stretched out his hand.

He took the sword back into his hand.

This move of catching the sword was very beautiful, and the distance between the two of them was thus widened. The president no longer attacked quickly, he took a stance and confronted Jiang Xiaotan.

However, although his steps were steady, he was slightly panting, and the right hand holding the sword was also slightly shaking.

In this state...is the president suffering from kidney deficiency?

Jiang Xiaotan didn't know that the president was like this because he had fought with him so many times. In the president's opinion, although this young man's swordsmanship was mediocre, his strength was really scary.

Just like...a vampire!

This thought came to mind, and Baldwin's eyes became cold.

He said calmly: "Yes, I will get serious next time."

After saying that, he adjusted his breath and activated [Martial Skill: Bravery] and [Martial Skill: Swiftness].

Jiang Xiaotan clearly felt that the president's momentum had increased, and his hands stopped shaking and he stopped breathing.

In confusion, the opponent approached at an extremely fast speed and launched an attack.

Jiang Xiaotan subconsciously raised his sword to block. He barely blocked one sword, but Baldwin's attack this time activated [Sword Skill: Three-pole Blade]. After the first sword was blocked, there were two consecutive attacks. The second one.

He tried to dodge the sword, but was stabbed into his shoulder. The unedged silver sword did not cause any substantial damage, but it destroyed his body's balance. Jiang Xiaotan fell to the ground.

The fierce third sword had already struck, and the gleaming silver sword was directly facing Jiang Xiaotan. In panic, he instinctively used his left hand to block it, but directly grabbed the sword body.

Although the silver sword was not sharpened, because the sword was too sharp, the flat blade still left a bloody mark on his hand.

The president immediately withdrew his sword and stopped, showing a smile: "You are so ridiculous in your response. If it were an actual battle, your hands and head would be gone."

He stretched out his hand, pulled his subordinate up from the ground, and then asked with concern: "Is the injury on your hand okay? Do you need some medicine?"

Just now he suspected that Jiang Xiaotan was a vampire, so he tried his best to attack. Now seeing that the young man was wounded by the silver sword, the suspicion of being a vampire was self-evident, which made him feel a little apologetic.

"It's okay, just use a little magic."

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaotan was quite generous, so it was not a big deal to get slightly injured by the sword. He touched the wound with his right hand, and a soft beam of [Healing Hand] shot out, healing the shallow wound.

Baldwin had long heard that this new boy was good at holy magic, but this was the first time he saw someone directly using magic to heal wounds.

"You are very powerful with this skill. I heard that only those powerful archbishops in the Western Continent have this ability."

"What does this mean? The master's swordsmanship just now was really powerful, but suddenly it became faster and stronger."

Baldwin smiled: "These are very common martial arts. If you want to learn them, come to me when you have time and I will teach you."

Although he said this in a casual way, for someone who could use martial arts and sword skills so smoothly and smoothly, looking at the whole Constantine, Lao Bao really couldn't find anyone who could be better than him, so he was very flattered.

And in his opinion, the young man in front of him probably came from a magic family and had been immersed in magic books since he was a child, so he became interested in dancing with swords and guns. Once he really gets into martial arts and recognizes his own bottleneck, he will probably be able to

Will obediently go back to rub the fireball.

However, Baldwin didn't just want to test his skills when he called Jiang Xiaotan. When he saw that Jiang Xiaotan had healed his wounds on his own, he walked into the room, pulled out a chair and motioned for the young man to sit down.

"Tell me about the night of the vampire attack." After Jiang Xiaotan sat down, the president also pulled a chair across from him.

Jiang Xiaotan started to talk in detail. Others had actually reported these things to Baldwin, but he still listened very carefully and did not miss every detail.

When it came to the section about the Baron's attack, Baldwin suddenly asked: "Do you still remember the appearance of that Baron?"

The baron's sudden attack left a deep impression on Jiang Xiaotan, so he described his appearance in detail.

As the guild leader listened, his expression became serious.

As he continued to tell, Jiang Xiaotan felt that the baron's face and the guild master's face gradually overlapped.

"Speaking of which, the baron's facial features are somewhat similar to those of the master."

When he said this, his heart suddenly thumped. Doesn't that baron have anything to do with the guild leader?

Unexpectedly, Baldwin nodded, sighed, and said: "So, he is probably my nephew, Collins, who disappeared a few years ago."

"ha?"

The guildmaster then spoke about Collins.

That was the eldest son of Baldwin's brother Edmund, the Duke of Constantine. It seemed that he was really a baron and would inherit the duke's territory in the future.

A few years ago, Baron Collins went on a hunting trip with several hundred knights of the guard, and suddenly disappeared, as if hundreds of people had evaporated.

After hearing about the formation and composition of the attacking vampire legion, Baldwin quickly suspected that the missing knight guard legion was involved, and the number of them was roughly the same.

After looking at the armor left behind by the vampires, this idea was confirmed - although the armor was re-dyed black, the style and material were the same as Constantine's knight's armor.

It's a pity that all these vampires have been reduced to ashes, including the baron who was broken in half - he was the first to be burned to ashes in order to prevent the vampires from resurrecting.
