Chapter 2275: About Justice

"No need, I'll go by myself."

Xia De said, then looked at the two swords on the coffee table, and finally abandoned the 【Angel's Right Arm】 and picked up the 【Night Watcher】.

"That... can I go with you?"

Emilia suddenly said in a low voice. Seeing everyone looking at her, the pointed-eared girl explained:

"Now outside are probably all church people and police maintaining order. It should be more convenient for Xia De to ride little Liana over. I... I just want to see the situation outside now, want to know what happened tonight, what exactly happened. I won't cause trouble for Xia De, I also have a Five-Ring level."

"Let Emilia follow you, otherwise it won't be convenient for you to act by yourself with little Liana."

Miss Belindel made the decision for Emilia. The elf girl looked at her gratefully, and Xia De also nodded;

"Alright, we'll be back within an hour."

After saying goodbye to them, Xia De took the small unicorn and went downstairs with Emilia. Angelina, who had nothing to do, sent them downstairs and waved, watching them fly into the night sky together.

She didn't say she was going too, because she knew she was only a One-Ring, and following them would only cause trouble for Xia De. And looking at the little beast that suddenly disappeared into the night sky, a more complex and indescribable expression appeared on her face.

Angelina Cavendish thought of the conversation between herself and her sister in Xia De's bedroom before leaving Tobesk. She suddenly understood that just pursuing someone might not be enough; she was also thirsting for power.

Xia De naturally didn't know what kind of new ideas the little princess had sprouted at this moment. He was very worried that the small unicorn wouldn't be able to bear the weight of being ridden by both him and Emilia, but the facts proved that he still underestimated this creature with the same rating as a giant dragon.

They flew all the way to the Lower City District by the Taton River, and then landed in Spider Alley. It was just that the sewer passage door where the morgue was located was tightly closed, and there were no vampires waiting for him as Xia De had imagined.

However, there was clearly a large pool of blood on the ground of Spider Alley. After careful identification, Xia De determined that this was the blood of a vampire monster:

"Emilia, follow me. Be careful, be ready to deal with attacks at any time."

The red halo produced by "Echo of Blood" in Xia De's field of vision in the night was exceptionally conspicuous. Thus, they followed it all the way, and finally arrived at that Herring Street by the river.

Both the small unicorn and Emilia were well-prepared with disguise amulets. After Xia De rushed out from the burning block and saw that the battle there was still continuing, he immediately went over to help.

Herring Street was not located in the North City. The reason for the fire here was temporarily unknown, but the fire was not very influential, and it had basically been extinguished.

It was just that there were still quite a few vampire monsters in the air trying to attack the citizens who escaped from their homes, and Mr. Bernhardt, the coroner Mr. Ptolemy Albert, and even the four-person group of the 【New World Mutual Aid Society】, John Flynn, were all on the street along the river, attracting the attention of those vampire monsters while constantly cleaning up the monsters.

The battle had already come to an end. Xia De bringing Emilia to join the battle accelerated the monsters' failure. Five or six minutes later, the last big bat exploded into large pieces of wood debris in the air because of the oak seeds thrown by Emilia.

Several people did not rush to communicate, but hurriedly left here. Xia De originally thought they would find a remote place to talk, but he didn't expect Mr. Albert to take everyone to the morgue in Spider Alley directly.

When the coroner wearing a hood took out the key and opened the large iron gate at the passage entrance, Xia De also cast a suspicious look at Mr. Bernhardt. The latter glanced at John Flynn's group and said softly:

"When I came over just now, Ptolemy had already been helping ordinary people in the vicinity with them. Ptolemy believes they can be trusted."

Thus, Xia De didn't ask much, and walked into the sewer with them.

He originally wanted to let Emilia and the small unicorn wait outside, after all, he thought they probably wouldn't like it here. But he didn't expect the elf girl holding the small beast to have no intention of staying outside at all. When she followed Xia De inside with the small unicorn, she was also looking around with great interest.

Because there were too many people and the office couldn't fit them, a group of people finally came to the morgue where Mr. Albert worked daily.

The smell of corpses and preservatives mixed together, plus the cold and dampness of the sewer itself, made the smell here a bit unpleasant, but including Emilia, no one frowned or was unhappy.

The coroner first introduced himself to John Flynn's group:

"Thank you for your help just now. I am Ptolemy Albert, the coroner here. And as you just saw, I am a vampire."

Among the middle-aged man who looked like an elegant priest, the young girl holding a staff that seemed to be a relic, the burly man holding a mace, and John Flynn, the young man holding the holy sword was clearly the leader of the team.

He shook hands with Mr. Albert and also introduced the origin of their group.

They had met Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt more than once, so both sides just exchanged a few pleasantries.

"Who knows what happened tonight? I was writing a letter in the hotel, and it suddenly became chaotic outside. By the time I came outside, those mutated big bats were already flying all over the night sky.

To be honest, although I ran around for two hours just now, I know nothing about what happened tonight."

Mr. Bernhardt looked puzzled. Xia De hesitated before saying:

"It is said that a church was robbed of a relic. It is not clear which church it is, and it is not known which relic it is."

Because he wanted to protect the Belindel family's information channels, he didn't say it too specifically.

The elegant middle-aged man in the 【New World Mutual Aid Society】 team also spoke:

"There is one thing you probably don't know. Although most of the main force of the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 is in the Old World, they have been conducting large-scale dragon beast breeding in the New World.

It is said that they received help from the notorious 【Blood Spirit School】, and by funding a secret researcher in the Old World, they have cultivated many hybrid dragon monsters over the years."

This should be referring to Laplace Howard of Green Lake Island.

"The church has also hunted them down in the New World over the years, but with little success. This batch of dragon beasts tonight is very likely to have come from the New World. But with such a large number, we 【New World Mutual Aid Society】 didn't receive any news."

"So that sacrificial ground really has space teleportation ability."

Xia De said softly in his heart, and the coroner lowered his eyes and said softly:

"So, so many people died tonight, just to divert the church's attention and steal an item?"

"Mr. Watson's information rarely goes wrong."

Mr. Bernhardt also said, spraying a heavy breath from his nasal cavity:

"This is really impossible to explain clearly. I can even imagine that early tomorrow morning, the church will distribute wanted notices in the black market of the entire Moon Bay, requiring all Ringed Ringed Shushi to provide clues about local long-term resident vampires."

No one comforted him, because this was reality. Although the church also knew that most vampires were innocent, this was the era of humans. Since vampires had defected to cultists, it was necessary to equally suspect that all vampires were cultists' helpers.

Mr. Bernhardt's own safety should be fine. After all, he was an outsider, and only a small part of the local clansmen he knew. The coroner didn't consider his own safety, he just suddenly said:

"Is it really worth it to let so many people lose their lives for a relic?"

This question was very ridiculous, but since he asked, John Flynn still answered:

"There are always such selfish people who don't consider the lives and freedom of others for their own purposes.

The establishment of our 【New World Mutual Aid Society】 itself is to let everyone who moves to the New World and adventures to the New World help each other. If people can understand the suffering of another person, if everyone, including ordinary people, is willing to reach out and hold another person's hand, this world will become better... This is our justice."

His three companions nodded constantly.

The coroner also nodded slightly:

"You are all good people. Please allow me to thank you for your help here just now in saving the nearby neighbors. Compared to those monsters, ordinary people are really too fragile."

He paused before saying:

"However, regarding justice... we must admit the difference between people. If reproductive isolation did not exist, in fact, Ringed Ringed Shushi and ordinary people have almost become two different species.

Justice is not necessarily everyone holding hands. We cannot demand too much from ordinary people, just like tonight. Justice to me is just the strong protecting the weak."

The man holding the mace seemed to have a different opinion on this view, but he was blocked by John Flynn before he could speak.

Xia De also didn't hold any opinion on the coroner's view, but he didn't expect Emilia, who was hiding behind him, to speak at this moment.

The elf girl tugged at Xia De's clothes, her eyes very bright:

"The strong protecting the weak is of course correct, but wanton protection will only give birth to moths. I understood this truth when I was raising... horses."

The small "horse" behind her pushed her with its head in dissatisfaction.

"Justice shouldn't be a heavy responsibility. I originally thought justice was eliminating injustice, but many things have happened recently. I think justice is just wanting to pull out a sword from the heart to make one's life more meaningful."

John Flynn and Mr. Albert looked at her in surprise:

"Makes sense, but when you grow up a bit, maybe you will have other views."

That is to say, they didn't quite agree with Emilia's point of view. Thus, the elf girl dissatisfiedly grabbed Xia De's clothes again and hid behind him. She had gathered all her courage to speak. ===== CHAPTER 2276 =====
