Chapter 19 Misunderstanding The first floor is a place where Ashurufat can come and go freely. The stairs to the second floor are also easy to find, just beside the small square. It should be noted that, like most castles, the stairs to the upper floors are not continuous. In other words, Ashurufat found the stairs leading up to the second floor - the stairs from the second to the third floor were in another place. The situation on the second floor is much more complicated, because the vampire's personal guards live on this floor. Just like in the legend, after accepting the power of vampires, these girls gained many powers, one of which was to greatly reduce their sleeping time. They need only one or two hours of sleep a day instead of a full night like normal people. So it¡¯s easy to imagine that even if the second floor is unsuspecting, there will be many more people who haven¡¯t slept. There are many people awake, and figures can be seen moving from time to time in the aisles or in open areas. When Ashurufat was on the first floor, he still felt that he was quite talented as a thief - this was his first time trying to play a thief, but the effect seemed to be very good. But when he reached the second level, he began to understand that he lacked talent in certain aspects. Hiding in the shadows, hiding from passing eyes - it seems not difficult in theory, but in fact, to do this requires not only skills, but also courage and confidence. If the former - that is, courage - is not a problem, then the latter is what Ashurufat lacks. At the edge of a residential area, he finally encountered a situation that a thief would inevitably encounter - someone was walking in front of him, and there was only a small corner to hide in. He hid in the corner, tried to stand up straight, and tried his best to hide himself in the smallest corner, hoping to avoid the sight of others. I haven't felt this kind of panic for a long time Even in the Chaos Realm, I wasn't so nervous when I was battling wits and courage with those evil gods. That figure almost passed by Ashurufat. Fortunately, the other party was completely unsuspecting, and happened to look sideways as he passed by, so the final result of this contact was that everyone was happy. The girl didn't notice anything. Ashurufat finally breathed a sigh of relief after the other party walked away. He began to feel less confident in his talent as a thief. To say that he could walk quietly and silently, he could barely do it, but he had to have the keen observation ability of the legendary thief, the ability to find hiding places and retreat routes at any time, and finally, absolute confidence in himself, etc. He couldn't do it at all. But now he wants to withdraw like this, but he is absolutely unwilling to do so. In front is the living area, with rooms on both sides of the corridor. Ashurufat now knows that the living conditions of the girls in the castle are not bad - usually they can enjoy a room for two people or alone, and can have their own personal belongings. In addition, writing letters and contacting outsiders was allowed (although he was not sure whether this was a right enjoyed by every girl or just some). If he was not mistaken, the end of this residential area was the stairs going up three floors. This area should be the living area for those girls who have accepted the power of vampiresthat is, the female guards. They were placed in front of the stairs, which seemed reasonable. For the time being, it seems that the entire aisle is quiet. With his superhuman hearing, Ashurufat was able to hear the sounds of people moving in some rooms, and there was no hiding place in this corridor. As long as someone walks out of the room, she will definitely see Ashurufat. Well, with his size and grooming, even a fool could tell this was an uninvited guest. Well, all it takes is one shout and everything will get out of hand! ¡°However, he felt that he should be able to pass. He can only pass through here. This section of the road is very short - about two hundred paces. But it must be said that the psychological pressure Ashurufat felt was better than when he faced the Bloodfang Lord under the Bloody Fortress. Because on the battlefield, things are controllable, and Ashurufat has enough experience and preparation to face powerful enemies, but here, everything is uncontrollable. You can only leave everything to fate or the gods. In the dungeon, the little girl and Lalia looked eagerly at the stairs. The so-called "every day is like a year" refers to this feeling. In this environment, there are no timing tools, so it is difficult to determine how long time has passed based on human subjective ability. At the entrance to the stairs in the distance, silence remains. "Can Ashurufatbe successful?" the little girl suddenly asked. Objectively speaking, she is the more confident of the two. But even she raised this question. "It should be possible" Lalia replied softly. "But why??Can you sneak into the castle? ¡± About this point, Lalia still can¡¯t figure it out. As a vampire¡¯s guard (although she defected), she has seen the magic of this castle with her own eyes. So Ashurufat sneaked in and attacked the little one. For the girl, it is the concept of "luck", but for her, it is the concept of "miracle". Indeed, Ashurufat said that the vampire was not at home tonight, so it was just an oversight. But Lalia knew it very well. , The vampire may not be at home, but the will of the castle It is impossible for Carrie to be away. Even if she ignores the outside of the castle, at least she will not be able to detect the fact that there is an uninvited guest in the castle. Why didn't Carrie give a warning? You know, she could have secretly informed the guards, and Ashurufat had no chance. Then suddenly, she thought of the worst possibility, that is, the vampire is not out now, and he is in the castle! If Lalia is not mistaken, the vampire is observing every move of the intruder. Only in this way can we explain why Asulfat was able to sneak in and arrive at the castle smoothly. Only in this way can we explain why there is no one in the castle. Any warning. Because everything is under the control of the Scarlet Duke - on the surface, the mouse seems to be able to escape, but in fact, there is no chance at all. "Your Highness" Lalia barely controlled her expression. "If Lord Earl fails" "He will not fail!" "The little girl rejected this possibility. She still remembers the miracles that happened to her one after another. After many years, she can now truly understand what great miracles happened in Falcon City at that time. She was defeated in the end There was a slight "click" of the door opening behind her. Even though he had superhuman senses and agility, Ashrafat felt his heart tightening. , but at this moment, even he can't change the fact. He can't expect that the person who walks out of the room can't see him - this is an area with that kind of wonderful light, and he can't even sneak into the darkness (although that's not the case). Meaningless behavior) can't be done "Who! "The next moment, a female voice sounded from behind. After this soft cry, more doors opened. At least five - maybe more - guards walked out of the door. Although it was a break at the moment time, but most of them are vigilant and fully armed. In fact, except for very rare times, they will not take off their armor. At least ten eyes are fixed on this well-dressed person. The uninvited guest said "I am a thief". Every guard was unconsciously prepared for a fight. "Who?" ! "This time he didn't exclaim, but asked. The man wearing night clothes turned his head. He stroked his forehead with one hand, but all the guards immediately recognized who this person was - that was The Scarlet Duke, this castle and their master. Although they had never seen the Scarlet Duke dressed like this, as slaves, they could not question their master's actions. The girls bowed respectfully. They respectfully sent the Scarlet Duke off. The latter just turned his head and immediately continued to go up the stairs to the third floor. After he disappeared, they continued to do their own things. Sure enough the vampire and I were very happy. Like Ashurufat repeated to himself softly. This was one of the things he least wanted to encounter. In fact, it was only better than being besieged and arrested (or killed) in the dark castle. One point. Finding a thief who has infiltrated the castle is completely different from finding someone who looks exactly like him infiltrating the castle. Although the former will make people angry, the latter will give Ash a fatal sense of crisis. Rufat knew that as long as the Scarlet Duke came back, he would find out about it sooner or later. This kind of "I am obviously not at home, but there is another me at home" thing would be impossible to hide if Ashurufat didn't do it by then. If he can leave Sylvania, he may have to face big trouble After walking up to the third floor, he can find that the third floor covers a very small area. The second floor compares. In terms of pure area, this place is no less than a palace¡ªmuch larger than the small castle owned by Ashurufat. There is an indescribable fragrance in the air. . A sweet but refreshing fragrance It's not like Ashurufat has never been exposed to spices, but this is really not the first time he smells it.??There are two rooms, butthe entire third floor is filled with this fragrance. After going up the stairs, there should be a reception room. This should be the place where vampires receive certain "special guests". The floor is covered with thick carpets, and it is surrounded by various porcelain, weapons, tapestries and other works of art. Although Ashurufat is not an ignorant person, he has to agree with the view that "vampires live a luxurious life of extreme luxury". In such a huge environment, filled with wealth and beauty, it is difficult not to stop and take more time to observe your surroundings. It can be said that this is far more than a reception room, but an exhibition hall and art gallery. Not only is the area astonishingly large, but the collection can dazzle even a king. Next to the reception room is the study room. Well, it's not just a study - it's a study plus a library. Rows of bookshelves are filled with countless treasures of knowledge. However, Asurufat didn't have time to observe the vampire's taste. He could only take a brief look around the area where his master lived. There is a very conspicuous big table there, and on the table is Sylvania no, the whole big sand table of Ryan. Every mountain, every river, every village and every town has it. It can be seen that the vampire's ambitions extend far beyond Sylvania. However, the utensils in the study are unexpectedly neatwell, maybe vampires don't visit here often. Next to the study, there should be the bedroom. The key Ashurufat wants is there! If I¡¯m not mistaken, although the vampire is not here, several of his wives should be present. Ashurufat has never met the acting mistress of this dark castle, but it is said that the woman the vampire loves most is a girl with special powers and extraordinary beauty. But that's all. When Ashurufat started this adventure, he really didn't know that he would have the opportunity to meet the vampire's wife. He paused for a moment, but couldn't hear any noise in the bedroom. Then he suddenly realized that the fragrance in the air could not help but make people feel lazy, but it could also stir up certain desires in human hearts. Well, it turns out it¡¯s more than just ordinary incense? Speaking of whichit seems that the Scarlet Duke was also extremely indulgent in legend. Although he collected so many beautiful girls mainly to satisfy his appetite, no one has ever believed that he only did it to satisfy his appetite. After all, vampires are transformed from humans, and they are no different from humans in terms of aesthetics. Besides, everyone knows that the Scarlet Duke¡¯s wives and concubines are all human beings In front of you is the vampire¡¯s bedroom, with the door ajar. Ashurufat walked over gently. In fact, this was unnecessary. The carpet on the floor was so thick that it was impossible to make any noise. The key to the vampire should be on the bedside, or As he was thinking this, a figure suddenly rushed over. Perhaps his reaction was slow due to thinking. Before Ashurufat realized it, a petite figure had already rushed into his arms. He hugged the other person subconsciously, and his beautiful long golden hair fell from the back of his hand. The girl raised her head - stunningly beautiful. "Your Majesty the Duke" He heard the voice of the girl in his arms. "Your Majesty the Duke!" Her lips moved against his body, and then Ashurufat realized that the other person was naked. All unnecessary thoughts disappeared instantly, leaving only the sweet fragrance in the air and the charming body of the girl in his arms.
