Chapter 18 Night Detective "Little girl" Gruney's former queen repeated this title. More than one person had called her this title before, but this was indeed the first time that it made people feel angry. "II am already sixteen years old, no better than you, an old woman who will never grow up!" Their eyes met, Feng Chime's eyes looked cold and stern, but in the end she just snorted and left. ¡°She lied to you.¡± Lalia said after Feng Chime left. "Don't mind. In fact, she is a very nice person." "I saw Ashurufat." The little girl said suddenly after there was no one else in the cell. "Ashurufat? He should be in Chaos" "No, he's back!" the little girl said firmly. "I can't admit my mistake, it's him! And when I was captured into the dark castle, he saw me!" "How is that possible?" Lalia hesitated, but reason told him that Ashurufat had arrived. Sylvania's possibility is far less likely than the little girl's misunderstanding. "I really saw him, and he really saw me!" the little girl said excitedly. "He will come to save me! He will definitely" As she spoke, she became a little excited. "I knew that my prayers would" But the little girl became more and more excited, but Lalia was not inspired at all. "If I were you, I would pray that he wouldn't try to save us," Lalia replied. "Why?" "This castle" Lalia pointed to the ceiling. "It's not an ordinary place. I've seen it with my own eyes before. As long as a vampire is willing, he will be able to see, hear, and feel everything around the castle. So whoever wants to sneak into the castle is just a clown in front of the vampire. That¡¯s all.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°And the castle is actually made by a vampire In other words, the castle itself is not a dead thing, it is alive and has independent intelligence. It knows everything that happens in the castle as long as it wants to! Even if the vampire does not notice the situation outside due to accident, the castle itself will detect the intruder immediately!" Lalia said. "If Ashurufat comeshe is going to die!" Although the little girl knew that Ashurufat was very strong, she didn't think that Ashulfat could defeat the vampire and all his powers by himself. Minions. "So," Lalia said with a sad smile on her face. "Pray that he won't take the risk to try to save us." Ahead, at the entrance of the dungeon stairs, a ghost-like figure suddenly appeared silently. What should be noted in particular is that although it was already late at night, the interior of the castle (at least this dungeon) was very bright. For visitors, this is a minor miracle because you can't tell where the light is coming from. As far as the naked eye can see, there are no common lighting equipment such as torches, candles, and oil lamps in the castle, nor are there any rare equipment such as magic lamps. There is not even any light source visible. But it was light here, as if the walls themselves were glowing. The intensity of the light is moderate, roughly equivalent to sunlight in the early morning or dusk. Such an environment is very convenient for reading or writing. Therefore, although this figure was silent, Lalia noticed the arrival of the other party immediately. The little girl quickly noticed something from Lalia's expression. She turned her head and saw this person who shouldn't be there. The next moment, she covered her mouth forcefully to prevent herself from screaming. "Ashurufat" The person coming from the dungeon entrance (actually a spiral staircase) was none other than Asurufat. The girl clearly saw the striking scar on his nose. "Ashurufat?!" The little girl threw herself down at the prison door, causing the metal door to crackle. "It's really you! How did you get here?" Ashurufat's expression was very strange. To be honest, he originally thought this place was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, but in fact it was - well, just like a nursing home. Although the place was big, he had a smooth journey without any trouble. In fact, not even a single guard - the female guard who had received the gift of vampire power - was encountered. Perhaps it was because we never expected that outsiders would sneak in, and the internal defense of the entire dark castle was extremely lax. Or it can be explained this intuitively: There are no patrols here! Ashurufat didn't meet many people along the way, and even those he met were easily avoided by him. In short, it only took a short time for Ashurufat to find the entrance to the "suspected dungeon"?, which is a ladder going down. Then, he found the little girl and Lalia as prisoners. Ashurufat made a "silence" gesture, and then immediately tried to open the cage. But the lock of the prison is very strange, and it is obviously a very high-level craftsmanship-skilled enough to hold a lock-picking competition for all mankind and leave the champion helpless. After a short period of time, Ashurufat admitted his failure in his heart and began to try brute force cracking. Unfortunately, the cage is so strong that even the Sword of Withering cannot pry it open. "How did you get here? Vampires should be able to grasp all the movements inside and outside the castle!" Lalia asked after Ashurufat finally gave up and took back his sword. "The vampire is out." Ashurufat replied. Lalia's words made him realize how lucky he was. There is no doubt that the castle's defenses rely heavily on the vampire's own strength. It was because the vampire was out that he could sneak in so easily. "And I'm not expected to come back today or tomorrow Do you know how to open this lock?" Lalia was once a vampire's female slave, and was selected as a guard by the vampire. She knows much more about this castle than Ash Rufat is much more. ¡°This lock cannot be opened,¡± Lalia said. "You must get the key!" "Where is the key?" "Not here, at the top." Lalia said eagerly. "This castle is divided into three floors. The third floor is the residence of the owner of the castle, the Scarlet Duke. The Scarlet Duke has some special keys, each of which can open all the locks in the castle, but he usually does not bring the keys with him. Instead, his wife would use those keys. "I'll go right away," Ashurufat said. With the vampire away, he should be able to get the key. "Be careful Carrie." Lalia reminded. "Carrie? Who is that?" Ashurufat asked. For some reason, he felt vaguely familiar with this namewell, maybe he had heard of it. "Carrie" is not a rare and difficult-to-pronounce name like "Ashurufat". There should be many duplicate names. "It's not a human, it's a magical creature that lives in the dark castle It's something like a ghost. The vampire created it or it can be said that it is the castle itself." Lalia answered. "She usually appears as a 'suspended metal ball' that can talk. But that's just one incarnation. She has many similar incarnations. There is absolutely no point in attacking those metal balls. If you are discovered by Carrie Lalia paused. "You must escape immediately, otherwise you will die! It has the ability to immediately notify all the guards in the castle, including the vampire himself." "I understand." Ashurufat replied. "By the way, if we really get the key" Lalia's eyes saw the rope wrapped around Ashurufat's body. "You can leave through the window on the third floor first. Because the security on the second floor is much stronger than that on the first floor, try not to pass there." In the dark castle, there is obviously some kind of supernatural ability that does not belong to the "wind of magic". This is not a shocking topic, because even the priests of the church have long admitted that in addition to magic (including magic wind and black magic), there are other supernatural abilities in this world. The most common one is divine power - it is said that the church once had many holy knights with divine power, each of them possessed supernatural power, and their number could even form a legion. This is just hearsay, and the power of the Chaos Evil God is what Ashurufat sees and believes. Of course, divine power is only one of them. Many studies have shown that there are other supernatural abilities, but these studies are not systematic, and the naming is even more messy, lacking authoritative power to unify these studies. He now discovered that the mysterious light in the dark castle (that is, the light where the light source cannot be found) is not constant. When no one passes through a certain place, such as a passage, for a long time, the light will gradually dim and eventually disappear completely. Instead, dark areas quickly light up whenever someone walks by. At first, when he saw the surroundings suddenly light up, Ashurufat almost thought he was exposed. But in the end it was discovered that this was just an "automatic" reaction and not an intruder. The entire dark castle is divided into three floors. Now Ashurufat has determined that the first floor basically has no defense and warning measures. It was late at night and everyone was almost asleep, so the aisles, corridors, halls, guest rooms, etc. were undefended. Although it is really big here, overall, the regional layout is quite satisfactory. You only need to look at each place to know what it is doing. There is something in the castleConference room and small living room - the former is probably used for meetings, and the latter is used by vampires to meet invited guests. But the largest area is still a small square Beside the square are very neat groups of rooms, which are the residences of the girls who live in the castle. Speaking of which, although Ashurufat had heard about the space inside and outside the castle from many mouths, he still found it incredible when he actually saw it with his own eyes. The space inside this castle is very large - incredibly large. The first floor alone is actually as large as a small city. You can't imagine why there is an indoor square in this castle - the kind that is large enough for thousands of people to gather.
