The dinner was prepared in a hurry, saying that it was substandard for the students of Bailkingworth, but no one cared, because everyone's eyes were drawn to the metal wine glasses on the table.I don't know what Lawrence had in mind, but he brought the League meeting scheduled for the evening to dinner.Zhou Yu and Margaret stayed in front of the entrance to the Star Bell Tower, guarded by Geman and Ludwig.When it was time for dinner, Lawrence came here, pushed the door open, and several people walked into the bell tower together, and Maria sat in front of the door, as if waiting for Lawrence.Lawrence didn't pretend to say anything, he thought that Maria would be on his side after drinking the Holy Blood, and that there would be no second case.By the time they arrived at the cafeteria in the Research Building, they had already arrived, but Mancis and Brado were not here, so they didn't know what they were doing.Maria was placed at the main table, while Zhou Yu and Margaret sat at the very end, near the door of the dining room, which was too remote to even be full."
Ladies and gentlemen, today is a memorable day, the Blood Alliance is about to be formed, let's raise a glass and drink the Holy Blood together, of course, just take the first sip, lest you fall asleep."
Lawrence didn't even sit down, walked over to the table, and picked up his glass."
In such a hurry, I smell the smell of conspiracy."
Zhou Yu whispered to Margaret.Margaret frowned slightly, she didn't expect to drink blood as soon as she came, and looked at Maria.Maria didn't go to get the cup, but sat quietly and looked at Lawrence.Lawrence didn't rush him, lifted his glass and took a sip of blood, and sat down to eat.After all, it was blood, and many people, like Maria, did not drink it, only those students who worshiped Lawrence followed suit.It turned out that Lawrence's first bite was just a demonstration to eliminate the resistance of others.Zhou Yu picked up the wine glass and looked at it, smelled it, it looked and smelled just blood, there was nothing special, and it was nothing special to drink blood in a dream, but if he really saw and smelled it, he still felt disgusted, so he put the cup back again.After eating for a while, Lawrence stood up again and raised his glass, still taking a small sip, this time there were many more people who drank with him than before, and those who had not drunk blood became a minority, and the eyes of others looking at these people also changed slightly.Maria, Zhou Yu, and Margaret didn't drink, most of the eyes were focused on Maria, she was also one of the benchmark figures, the others didn't know what happened at noon, but they could clearly sense that the atmosphere was not right.After a while, those who had drunk the blood first fell asleep on the table, but they woke up again after a short time with a look of surprise on their faces."
I see, the dreams of the old gods," someone said in a crying voice, reaching for the cup and looking at Lawrence again.Lawrence felt that it was time, picked up the cup and stood up, and said in a louder voice: "Then, I announce that the Blood Alliance has been officially established, cheers" He raised his glass and drank it all, put down the cup and wiped the corners of his mouth, and the others coaxed loudly, and also drank the blood in the cup.Lawrence looked at Maria and whispered, "You should understand that people who don't drink can't get out of here." ”Zhou Yu saw Geman turn his head to look at them, waved his hand and said hello, and smiled very innocently."
I'll drink and go, no one will stop me, no one will follow me" Maria didn't mean to lower her voice, and many people heard her words."
Of course, I just need the fact that you drink it for everyone to see, so that whatever you say, it will be treated as one of us."
Lawrence said with a smile."
Good."
Maria calmly picked up her glass and drank half of it.This move was beyond Lawrence's expectations, he was stunned for a moment, slammed the table, and said loudly: "The Blood Alliance is officially established" Maria snorted coldly, and walked out of the restaurant with the remaining half of the cup of blood, indeed, no matter what she said now, it was useless, so her plan did not include "speaking".As she passed by Margaret, she paused and said, "Take care of Adeline for me, okay" Seeing Margaret nod, Maria smiled at her and strode out."
I'll go too, and I'll leave the rest to you."
Margaret said to Zhou Yu, got up and followed."
Stop" Geman got up and rushed over, wanting to chase out, but was stopped by Zhou Yu.Zhou Yu stopped at the door of the restaurant, with a smile on his face, and said: "I couldn't fight at noon, I'm really depressed, I feel uncomfortable, let's fight now." ”Geman took out his folding knife and shook it into a war scythe, staring at Zhou Yu."
It seems that you are not drinking the real holy blood, right" Zhou Yu looked at the others, most of them were lying on the table and fell asleep, but some were awake, so he added: "Won't everyone else's holy blood be poisoned" Geman didn't speak, and directly slashed at Zhou Yu with a sickle.Zhou Yu's body did not move, raised his hand to easily block the sickle, and said, "It's too weak, let's come together, don't be idle." ”So Ludwig also came, as did several members of the convoy who had participated in the massacre of the fishing village, but Lawrence did not move.More and more people fell asleep, and the battle in front of the restaurant suddenly became fierce.Geman is not an opponent, he attacked again, and was blocked by Zhou Yu again, Zhou Yu waved his backhand, and the arm armor hit the right side of Geman's head, knocking Geman to the ground, and his right ear was scratched by the pattern on the arm armor, and blood dripped down.Ludwig came with his two-handed broadsword, and as soon as Geman fell, he swung his greatsword and slashed at Zhou Yu's waist.Zhou Yu waved his hand and flicked away the blade with his arm armor, his strength was not comparable to these people, and the strength of the arm armor was much higher than that of ordinary weapons, and the position where the blade slashed into the arm armor was actually a little curly.Lawrence pressed the table and stood up, Zhou Yu's eyes turned on for a moment, he didn't know Lawrence's current strength, and he was ready.Maria left the dining room and went straight to Adeline's room."
Who's sending the brain fluid, that's great, I just thought it's time."
Adeline heard the door knock and said happily."
No, it's me."
Maria, a little dizzy, closed the door, put the cup on the table, and crouched down in front of Adeline."
Oh, it's you."
Adeline was a little disappointed: "Is there something wrong, you sent me brain fluid in advance" "No, I'm going to leave for a while, I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”Maria stroked the eye of the needle on Adeline's arm and said softly."
Okay, come back early, let's go to the balcony again, the breeze and the smell of flowers will surely cure me."
Adeline nodded slowly.Maria smiled slightly, wiped the corners of her eyes, took out the balcony key from her pocket and put it in Adeline's hand, and said, "You keep the balcony key, and tell Margaret to take you out when she is free." ”"Okay."
Adeline nodded, "You need to come back early." ”Maria hummed, picked up her glass and walked out, closing the door gently.The starry bell tower was lit up with a faint light, and Maria cleaned up the house, arranged her clothes, and sat down facing the door.She quietly looked at the blood in the cup, feeling more and more sleepy, and after thinking about it, she put down the cup and slit her left wrist with the nail of her right thumb.Blood flowed into the cup, and the liquid in the cup soon overflowed, staining her fingers red, dripping everywhere, and the originally faint smell of blood suddenly became intense.The cup contains the blood of Kos or Kos orphans, the blood of Adeline, and the blood of Maria herself.She picked up a pill from the table and threw it into her mouth, raised her hand to raise her glass, who she was greeting to somebody, and then drank the liquid from the cup, the red liquid running down from the corner of her mouth and staining the placket of her clothes.The hydrochloric acid was diluted by blood, and the clothes where she was were were only emitting a faint amount of smoke and dust, slightly blackened, and not completely corroded, but Maria's throat and stomach must have been extremely painful.And that pill was also a corrosive poison that would slowly take her life, and this pill was something she had prepared a long time ago.Master William was worried about Maria's safety, and she did not agree to be his eyeliner, but he still gave her an emergency means of contact, which was to attach a vision to Maria's body, and if she was dying, he could immediately sense it, and this method required a certain amount of preparation time, which Maria had already prepared before the feast.The reason for such an emergency contact was also because Maria's mood was too low at the time, and Master William was worried that she would make an uncool move.But Maria is calm now, she did what she wanted to do for a long time, the fishing village was not the place where she experienced the massacre for the first time, she had experienced it once, she belonged to the side that was slaughtered, she survived by luck, but she didn't expect to grow up to be the side of the massacre.It was already difficult to breathe, and her strength was slowly fading with her life, and while she could still move, she picked up the photo frame on the small table next to her, and looked at it blankly, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth.The photograph was taken shortly after she entered the Bayerkinsworth Academy, and it features Lawrence, Ludwig, Mansis, Mego, and, of course, Geman.Maria stood beside her, very close, blushing and shy, as if she had just been taught by Geman.Tiredness and pain hit her, and she could no longer hold the frame, not even feel it slip out of her fingers.The glass cracked, leaving a red handprint on the corner where the frame had been pinched.Maria closed her eyes, her head tilted to the side, her expression serene, her left hand resting on the arm of her chair, blood still dripping from her fingertips
