Chapter 20 Aftermath The sky is gradually getting brighter. The "unknown source of light" in the castle has disappeared unconsciously, replaced by the sunlight projected from the high skylight. The light from one of the windows just fell on the little girl and illuminated her face. The little girl rubbed her eyes and slowly got up. Then she realized that she had fallen asleep - she had not actually intended to sleep, she wanted to stay up and wait for Ashurufat to come back. But she really didn't have the ability to stay up late, and she didn't even know when the Sandman crawled onto her body. ¡°Wait a minuteit¡¯s dawnAishurufat failed? The little girl suddenly became excited. In panic, she looked at Lalia beside her, who was sitting there, seeming to be concentrating with her eyes closed. "Lalia!" The little girl slapped the metal railing hard. "What happened last night?" "Lord Ashurufat didn't come back." Lalia answered. This is actually nonsense. If Ashurufat comes, the little girl will not be able to sleep until dawn. "He" The little girl's face instantly turned pale. Ashurufat didn't come back, so that means "But he should be fine." Lalia said. "Because I didn't sense any warning signs. I guess," she smiled reluctantly to appease the little princess beside her. "He should have finally gotten what he wanted near dawn. So there is no time to save us we can only wait until tonight." Ashurufat did say before that the vampire would leave for two days ¡However, delaying a little longer is undoubtedly equivalent to adding a little more variables. Who knows if the vampire will come back early? "Could it be" the little girl thought, maybe because she had been waiting all night with no results, her thoughts were a little pessimistic. "Are there other possibilities?" "If Lord Ashurufat is arrested," Lalia said. "He will definitely be sent here. On the other hand, if he is exposed and forced to escape, it will definitely cause a large-scale alarm, and at least a comprehensive search will be carried out to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. But neither of these has happened, so he must We succeeded, but there is no time to save us. Besides, people like him can't give up halfway! Now we can only gamble," Lalia looked at the skylight above and the one outside the skylight. A small patch of blue sky. "Bet we're lucky enough that the vampire won't come back today." Ashurufat sat on a stone on the corner of the street, looking at the key in his hand blankly. People were coming and going on the street, but at most some people glanced at him curiously - and then continued walking. No one cares about a depressed-looking loser on the side of the road. In this city called "New City", although countless wealth flows every day, many losers are also produced every day. There are people who give up on themselves, and there are people who try to cheer themselves up. It is not uncommon for people like this to sit on the street blankly. Now things are getting serious Ashurufat grabbed a weed on the side of the road and bit the stem in his mouth. This was a habit he learned when he was in Chaos, and the bitter taste spread from his mouth to his heart. Words cannot describe the regret in his heart at this moment. He actually sneaked into the dark castle and slept with the Scarlet Duke's wife! Looking back now, I still find it incredible. He has always felt that he is the kind of person who has great self-control. Facing various crises in the chaotic territory, he was always able to control everything rationally, looking for small opportunities for victory and finally successfully leaving (if that can be called success). But this time, he lost control. Maybe it was the effect of the aphrodisiac incense, but Ashurufat was more willing to believe that it was his own problem. How did it happen? By the way, walking on that soft carpet and looking at the magnificent room there is a familiar and reassuring feeling there. It was that feeling that confused him and made him relax unconsciously. At that moment, he even forgot that he was an intruder who was deep in enemy territory and could be in danger of his life at any time. And that womanthe vampire's wife, she seems to be called Leya. Those limbs with moderate hardness and elasticity will never get boring no matter how many times you hug her. When they were completely integrated, she accepted his love wholeheartedly, responded to his love, and presented herself naked in front of him from body to soul. That woman named Leya must have misunderstood herself as the Scarlet Duke! But Ashurufat himself knew that he was not the Scarlet Duke at all, at most he was just (as mentioned before, this was deduced by his logic) a substitute for the former Scarlet Duke. Although he easily brought out the key in the morning (the key was on the vampire's bedside and was easy to find), heIt has been a huge mistake. The relationship between him and the Scarlet Duke has no possibility of easing, and the two sides are now fighting to the death. Everyone said that although the Scarlet Duke was a vampire, he looked very aristocratic. Although I don't know what vampires will do after they know this, but even human nobles will never spare those who let themselves be cuckolded. According to the general rules of the human world, once such a thing is exposed, even if there is no reliable evidence, it will mean a life-or-death duel. If a husband catches an adulterer in a room, he can only hope that there are no weapons around him. Otherwise, he will definitely kill his love rival on the spot. Although from Ashurufat¡¯s point of view, this was an accident and he didn¡¯t mean it. But he was certain that it was absolutely impossible for a vampire to accept his explanation. Not only that, if the vampire learns the truth, he will be able to quickly deduce everything - and then he will kill Ashurufat at all costs. Yes, no matter what the cost. For a jealous man, this is not an outrageous thing. The vampires haven¡¯t come back yet. If you want to escape, now is the best time. But Ashurufat knew that he could not escape. If he ran away, then the little princess and Lalia might become victims of the vampire's wrath. He doesn¡¯t even dare to go back and see the twins now. Ful said that he would contact the Scarlet Duke about treatment today. Ashurufat can only hope that until the star moment is restored (according to Fuhr, the shortest healing time is a few hours, and the longest is two days), the vampire is not aware of his relationship with the twins. Damn it, how could things have turned out like this? ! In Ashurufat¡¯s original plan, his action of rescuing the little girl and Lalia would cause a reaction from the vampire, but this reaction would not be excessive. Because the Scarlet Duke seems to be a good-looking man, after his prisoners are rescued from the dark castle, he should secretly hunt down the fugitives with as little publicity as possible. This also gave Ashurufat a chance. Although the Scarlet Duke was very powerful, he estimated that he could successfully escape from the Scarlet Duke's sphere of influence with a 70% certainty. But now it¡¯s different. Who knows what the furious Scarlet Duke will do? "Hey, don't block the road!" A voice sounded. The speaker was a man with a sinewy face, wearing simple leather armor and a machete on his belt. He looked arrogantly at the stranger in front of him who was wearing ordinary clothes (after leaving the Dark Castle, Ashurufat immediately changed out of the thief uniform) and had a scar on his face. He pointed his hand at the man behind him. The convoy pointed. This is a common vehicle for people and goods. In addition to being piled high with cargo, there are also several passengers, both men and women, chatting. Ashurufat stood up numbly and moved to the side. Now it should be time for Ful to go see the Scarlet Duke (although he is actually meeting with an agent). Things about the twinsshould go well Ashurufat was actually right. At this moment, half a city away from him, at the residence arranged for him by the largest horse dealer in Sylvania, Hoshike and Hoshimi had just finished dressing. In fact, they have spent a lot of time on this matter. Their clothes are actually very simple, just ordinary travel clothes rather than evening dresses for the ball. However, in order to cover up the deformed changes on Xingke's body, what they have to do is not simple. It must be noted that although Xingke can actually reveal his true colors here, he is worried about his appearance being noticed by others - people in other places are fine, but if they are Gruni, it may cause trouble in the future. trouble. Therefore, Xingke must maintain his disguise until he enters the dark castle. "Almost, but Mr. Ful hasn't come back yet. He clearly said that he will be back in an hour at most." "Maybe something unexpected happened" The two of them could only guess and wait. With. But suddenly, Xingke showed an expression of attentive listening. She quickly grabbed her sister's shoulders. "Get behind me!" She ordered in an unarguable tone, and then immediately drew a long sword from her side. It was the sword she had brought back from the realms of Chaos¡ªone of the weapons given to her by Khorne. Ashurufat confirmed that this weapon was just a weapon, so she kept it. The door was opened from the outside. The person who came was not Ful, but a strange woman. A woman of short stature and wearing strange armor. Half of this armor seems to be made of leather, and the other half seems to be metal. It is a very rare type of close-fitting armor that sticks tightly to the owner's body, almost integrating with the body. The helmet covered the visitor's nose and mouth, leaving only his eyes exposed. The twins have seen this kind of armor. When they were in Falcon City, Lalia, who was once their enemy (and later fought side by side), owned this kind of armor. Through Ashurufat's mouth, they already knew the origin of this armor. So with just one glance, Xingji recognized the person as one of the vampire's female guards. And more than one person! "Who are you and what are you doing?!" Xing Ke took the initiative and asked sharply. She had already grasped her belt, and if she pulled it, it would be a whip. "Two ladies," the vampire's female guard's eyes stopped on Xingke, "Sorry to disturb you. I would like to take the liberty to inform you that my master wants to see you." "Unfortunately, I don't want to go out now." Xingke said . "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you don't understand that in Sylvania, my master's request cannot be refused." A sharp edge flashed in the female guard's eyes. "And my mission is to take you two back." "Get out!" Xingke waved the whip in his hand. She had killed countless followers of Chaos with this weapon. After being tempered in countless actual battles, her current strength is no longer as simple as the country squire and aristocrat she once was.
