Kelita came to inform Rudolph and asked him to go to the sheriff's office.
The moment he entered the sheriff's office, Rudolph was stunned. Reiner, the vampire who should have been in the underground prison, was standing behind the red priest Mr. Priy.
Rudolph looked at Reiner for a second, then found a chair and sat down without saying a word.
When Reiner saw Rudolph, he felt pain from the bullet wounds and the wounds from the alchemical dagger all over his body. Although he had been treated, these wounds would not heal in a short time. Reiner stared at Rudolph. If Mr. Priy had not been there, he would have wanted to take revenge now.
Sheriff Claude tapped the table with his fingers in annoyance:
"Mr. Pulley, I have been the sheriff for more than ten years. In these ten years, the Red Church has never had such a thing.
The deacon of the Red Church actually treated the people of Leman Town as blood food. This is unacceptable."
Before Mr. Pulley could say anything, Reiner spoke first: "He was a beggar who happened to pass by Leman Town! He is not from Leman Town. Of course, I will not attack people from Leman Town."
After being interrupted by Reiner, the muscles under Sheriff Claude's eyelids twitched a few times, and it was obvious that he could no longer suppress his anger.
Rudolph looked at Mr. Pulley, his face was long and thin, and his face was abnormally pale. Rudolph had learned last night that Mr. Pulley had always been a vampire, a vampire who lived in Leman Town and presided over the full moon sacrifice.
Mr. Pulley said,
"Fabro City prospered because of the iron mine. All the people in Leman Town migrated here for various reasons. Several generations before you were all outsiders.
Perhaps those beggars will become real Leman Town residents in a dozen years, but now, I don't think they are still Leman Town residents.
I am deeply sorry for the death of one beggar and the injury of another beggar.
In this matter, I think our two sides have different definitions of Leman Town residents, that's all."
Reiner's face looked much better. Mr. Pulley stood on his side.
Mr. Pulley continued,
"Mr. Sheriff, Mr. Patrolman, I'm going to propose a solution. See if it's appropriate.
Reiner attacked the beggar, but subjectively, he didn't think he was attacking Leman Town residents. He thought the beggar was an outsider.
I think Reiner is not subject to the Red Church Agreement, and there is no need to judge Reiner." Reiner
breathed a sigh of relief, but Rudolf looked lost.
The sheriff had told him some news yesterday. The Red Church Agreement was one of the secrets of Fabro City.
A long time ago, a family of vampires, the Ravno family, lived on the territory of Fabro City.
Later, the Alchemy Council discovered iron ore here. The royal family and the Alchemy Council organized a pioneering army and established Fabro City on the iron ore.
The Ravno family was certainly no match for the Alchemy Council, but the Alchemy Council did not kill them all. Instead, it signed the "Red Church Agreement" with the Ravno family.
In Fabro City and the surrounding towns, vampires can only move in the Red Church and cannot attack any local humans.
The nobles and the Alchemy Council allowed the Red Church to hold a sacrifice every full moon. This is the origin of the full moon sacrifice in Fabro City and several surrounding towns.
The "Agreement" stipulates that any vampire who attacks humans will be tried by the Alchemy Court.
The Ravno family also agreed to this "Agreement". The Ravno family followed the first commandment of the vampires and avoided the world. Now it is nothing more than living in seclusion in the Red Church.
These are what Rudolph just learned yesterday, and they are not even in any records of the police station.
The sheriff said last night that the "Promise" has been in effect for more than a hundred years, and it was beyond the sheriff's expectation that something like this would happen.
Rudolph suddenly remembered Jennifer's cousin, Henry, who had the castle bat.
A marginal descendant of aristocracy could get the things of the vampires. Obviously, the relationship between the vampires and the city of Fabro is much deeper than it seems.
Seeing that the sheriff did not answer, Mr. Puli also knew that the sheriff was not satisfied, and he continued:
"However, Sheriff Claude, if no punishment is imposed on Reiner at all, it is obviously a shame for the efforts made by the patrol officers of the police station in maintaining public order.
I have already applied to the family, and the family has responded quickly."
Mr. Puli paused to let others pay more attention to his words.
"In view of Reiner's failure to restrain his behavior, the family has decided to exile Reiner to the Ravenor Castle and not to go out without permission."
Silence fell in the office.
Reiner looked at Mr. Puli in disbelief. He could not imagine why the family would give him such a heavy punishment. Rudolph frowned. He couldn't understand why he just couldn't go out.
Sheriff Claude touched his beard, not knowing whether he should express his opinion now.
At this time, Mr. Pulley spoke again:
"Sheriff, Reiner's First Embrace came from the Stone Coffin Vampire Vanderlin."
Hearing about the Stone Coffin Vampire, Sheriff Claude knew that Mr. Pulley had really tried his best.
Ordinary vampires can only sleep in wooden coffins, at least Mr. Pulley is a wooden coffin vampire.
Wooden coffins cannot be preserved for a long time, so there is little power of the ancient vampires in the wooden coffins.
The stone coffins are different. The ancient stone coffins of the Ravno family have a history of at least two thousand years. Sleeping in ancient stone coffins is of great help to the growth and promotion of the vampires.
If you want to become a vampire, you must obtain the First Embrace of the vampires.
The First Embrace also means that the two vampires have established a blood relationship. The stone coffin vampire Vanderlin is equivalent to the father of Reiner's bloodline.
The sheriff nodded: "Okay, I understand, then expel Reiner, and this matter ends here."
"Wait!" Reiner was still unwilling. He walked quickly from behind Mr. Puli to the front:
"What's going on? Why was I suddenly exiled back to the Ravenor Castle?
Mr. Puli! I want to see my blood father, Mr. Vanderlin!
It's just because there is no quota in the city's Red Church that I was allowed to spend some time in the town church. My first embrace came from the honorable stone sarcophagus vampire Vanderlin!
How can you be qualified to exile me!"
Mr. Puli shook his head. Reiner had just become a vampire and was still too young. Puli took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Reiner.
If Reiner accidentally sucked the blood food to death somewhere else, then Reiner might really be fine.
However, Sheriff Claude wrote a stern letter to the Red Church, which let the Red Church know that Sheriff Claude was serious about this matter.
In order to appease Sheriff Claude, the Red Church had to take punitive measures.
Reiner saw the red handprint of his blood father Vanderlin on the parchment, and he immediately wilted.
Mr. Puli stood up from his chair: "Let's go, don't lose any more family members."
He finally said: "Sheriff Claude, tomorrow night, someone from the family will come to take Reiner away.
The Ravenor family keeps its promise. Tomorrow night, you can send someone to verify our law enforcement."
Reiner put away the parchment dejectedly, and before leaving, he gave Rudolph a vicious look.
This look was full of hatred and malice.
After the two left, Rudolph did not leave.
Sheriff Claude knew that he still needed to convince Rudolph, after all, Rudolph was going to expose the vampire to the sun for three days.
"Rudolf, I know you are in a bad mood.
It is difficult for vampires to give birth to offspring, so they use the 'First Embrace' method to increase family members.
The third ring of the vampires is descendants. If a vampire creates an offspring through the First Embrace, then the offspring is like the child of this vampire, and the vampire must be responsible for the child until the offspring completely masters the ability of the vampire.
Reiner is a descendant of the sarcophagus vampire Vanderlin. I have done everything I can, but I am still a long way from executing Reiner.
However, you don't have to lose heart.
The Ravno family has lived in Fabro City for a long time, and they have become accustomed to life in the town.
If a vampire is exiled to the Ravno Castle, it will definitely be a very painful punishment.
The Ravno Castle is dozens of kilometers away from here, and it is very desolate.
You go to the Red Church tomorrow night to witness the Ravno family exiling Reiner."
Rudolf lowered his eyes and stood up silently: "Okay, that's the only way. I'll go to the Red Church tomorrow night."
What should be blamed for this matter? We can only blame the beggar for not having parents, while Reiner has a powerful father of blood.
