26 Responsibility for everything
"Is there any holy water? Use the holy water to test those people."
Jiang Xiaotan suggested.
A hunter handed him a bottle of holy water and asked, "Is this bottle enough?"
"enough."
Jiang Xiaotan came to the old knight's side and dropped a drop on the back of his hand.
The holy water immediately began to burn the old knight's skin, and Jiang Xiaotan immediately wiped off the drop of holy water.
"He was also transformed."
The hunter who handed Jiang Xiaotan the holy water drew out his silver sword and asked: "Kill?"
The noble prince looked at the still unconscious old knight and sighed, "Let's control it first."
Manager Haite asked the hunters to test the unconscious people according to Jiang Xiaotan's method, and warned everyone not to wake them up even if they found they had been transformed.
"I'm going to see Eveli." Jiang Xiaotan took the holy water and walked out with a solemn expression.
Fortunately, there was no reaction when the holy water dripped on the smooth back of the huntress's hand.
Jiang Xiaotan felt a little more at ease.
He returned to the banquet hall and joined the hunters to test the remaining people.
"Everything has been transformed."
After completing the last human test, Controller Hayter was almost desperate.
No one who attended the ball, including the castle's attendants, was spared.
"Go ahead and kill us." Baldwin was already desperate. He sat on the ground and accepted the killings.
"However, the people here include almost all the nobles of Constantine. They control the military and political affairs of Constantine. If they die..."
"Brother is going to use them to turn Constantine into a city of vampires! Constantine is finished! Do it quickly!" Baldwin's eyes were already red, which are the true red eyes of vampires.
All the hunters present knew that the matter had reached an irreversible point, but in the face of the guild leader who generously begged for death, no one could take action.
"Master, will you lose your mind and attack humans if you become a vampire? Do you want to attack us now?" Jiang Xiaotan asked.
Baldwin was speechless for a moment.
"There are vampires in this world who can coexist peacefully with humans, right? Just like the New Zhuye Empire in the north..."
"What do you mean by peaceful coexistence?! The vampires of the Zhu Ye Empire just kept humans in captivity like domestic animals!"
"Isn't it the same with Constantine?"
"How can it be the same?!"
"The nobles invaded the land of the common people and raised them like domestic animals. The common people had no human rights at all. In order to survive, they contributed their labor and sweat like their own blood. At this point, in Constantine and Zhu
Is there any difference in Empire of Night?”
Jiang Xiaotan actually has no intention of instilling the universal values of Blue Star into the world. He knows that in this world with low productivity, there is no soil for these concepts to survive.
He also knew that Baldwin was not fundamentally different from other nobles, but just because he was a noble could not deny his shining points of humanity. This master vampire hunter was at least an upright, brave man who could sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation.
own people.
Such people are worth saving.
"I dare not say that all of these people here are innocent. They are even guilty of squeezing civilians. However, they did not become vampires because of their own will, just because they may in the future
Is it reasonable to kill them indiscriminately just because they can suck human blood?"
After listening to Jiang Xiaotan's words, the hunters fell silent, and those who had drawn their silver swords also silently put their swords into their scabbards.
Baldwin pondered for a while, sighed and said: "What you said makes sense, these people are innocent, but if I live like this and have no face to face my family members who were killed by vampires, give me the silver sword and I will kill myself."
"
"Master, I can give you the silver sword, but do you really want to evade your responsibilities?"
"my responsibility?"
"Think about who these people became vampires for! Because of your brother! And he is the lord of Constantine and should protect this territory! And you are his legal heir, protecting the territory for humans and finding a way out for vampires.
It’s all your responsibility!”
This is the first time Jiang Xiaotan has shown his momentum since he came to this world. Before that, he had always been gentle and indifferent.
"It's not just you. Since they are Constantine's nobles, no matter they are human or ghost, they have the responsibility to protect Constantine. That's all I have to say, the silver sword is here."
Jiang Xiaotan placed the silver sword in his hand horizontally in front of Baldwin.
This made the original owner of the sword very depressed. He silently muttered in his heart: "This sword is mine. It doesn't matter if you took it and forgot to return it to me. Now you are using it to show off..."
However, the hunter did not do anything to ruin the atmosphere. He could only hope that Master Baldwin would stop.
Baldwin looked at the silver sword and thought for a while, then smiled bitterly and said: "If you say that, if I die, I will seem to be a coward evading responsibility."
Jiang Xiaotan curled his lips and smiled: "No matter what choice you make, I will continue to treat you as a respected guild leader."
"How can I be a vampire hunter when I become a vampire?"
"Now, when the master was still a human being, if he saw someone doing something evil, he would kill that person without hesitation, right? Who said that you can't be a vampire hunter if you become a vampire?"
"It feels like you are making a lot of lies tonight. Let's do this. If I really degenerate into an evil vampire, you can kill me with this silver sword."
The original owner of the sword really wanted to rush up and shout, "This sword is mine, I am the sword's owner!"
Jiang Xiaotan didn't know the inner cry of the hunter behind him. He said to Baldwin: "Your lifespan is much longer than mine. When you fall, I might have died long ago."
But he then said seriously: "But even if I and all the hunters present pass away, the inheritance of vampire hunters will not stop. If the master really falls, there will definitely be a new generation of hunters to fight against you."
"I believe this."
Baldwin looked at the group of capable young men in front of him, and suddenly felt that his own era was actually over long ago, and a new generation of vampire hunters had also grown up.
However, I had already reached the age where I could no longer accept old age, but suddenly I became an immortal monster. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
"Now there is another thing. Not everyone has the same awareness as Master Baldwin. How to deal with these guys is still a problem."
Jiang Xiaotan pointed at the newborn vampires lying in a mess on the ground, feeling a little worried.
"Let's imprison them in the guild's dungeon first," said Manager Haite.
