Chapter 28 Half-Beast "Impossible" The little girl was stunned, while Lalia murmured softly. Judging from the tone of the wind chime, it was not that she was talking nonsense, but that she had indeed investigated carefully. "The so-called Duke likes girls between twelve and seventeen years oldit's just a cover." Feng Chime said. "It was a lie from the beginning." "Why lie." The little girl immediately calmed down. Wouldn't it be better if vampires didn't eat humans? Wouldn't it be more acceptable? In this case, why pretend? "Maybe justdisguise yourself. Anyway, he has been called a 'vampire' by humans, which is a coffin. No matter how you say he is harmless, no one will believe it. In this case, you might as well use this in turn to let everyone It's okay to be afraid." "This is completely unreasonable" "Reasonable? There are many unreasonable things in the world. The Duke is the last one in the world, and he will always be alone. Neither Fei nor Leya can really soothe the loneliness in his heart. Imagine that humans disappear and you live alone among a group of monkeys. "What will happen if you become the monkey king?" stand up. "I shouldn't have said so much to you." "Aren't we afraid of being heard when we say these things here?" Lalia asked. "I heard that the Scarlet Duke can hear all the sounds in the castle." "Only if he is listening." The wind chime replied. Then she walked out of the room, leaving her last words. "You are already very lucky. Keep this luck and don't throw it away foolishly." "She meanswhat we said was not leaked?" After the door was closed, the little girl whispered softly. asked. "I don't know." Lalia was also a little confused. She instinctively sensed that something major was about to happen in this castlethis Sylvania or this human world. And the core of all this lies in the two people, Scarlet Duke and Ashurufat. Then she realized¡ªthe key point might be tonight. Because Ashurufat, who stole the key last night, will come to rescue them, and this time, the castle will be prepared. ?¡ ?The afterglow of dusk slowly disappeared into the sky. The noisy city gradually fell silent. In a tavern in the new city, or in the tavern closest to the Dark Castle, Ashurufat was leaning against the wall, behaving like the kind of idle man who had nothing to do (this kind of person is always the least attractive). The kind that attracts attention), while listening to the hustle and bustle in the tavern, while looking at the darkening sky above. Today at dusk, he had seen the vampire return to the castle. All in all, it was a rather large team. They came out of the portal in the new city, walked all the way through the city, and entered the dark castle. Ashurufat didn¡¯t dare to take a closer look, but he was convinced that it should be the Scarlet Duke, the vampire who ruled this land. According to the church's publications, he is the last and strongest vampire. Even among the vampire clan, he is the strongest among the strong. At this moment, the vampire must have known what happened last night. No, he already knew it, otherwise he would not be able to explain the sudden attack on the twins this morning. Ashurufat didn¡¯t dare to take any chances, because he knew very well how powerful vampires were. If you exclude those factors of racial discrimination, everyone can clearly find that the Scarlet Duke is impeccable in terms of politics, military, economy and even personal wisdom and force. He was so powerful that some believe he did not participate in the Battle of Kalyan. Otherwise, the vampire family would never be wiped out by humans so easily. Of course, the so-called "easy" is just the concept of ordinary people. Ashurufat now knows from Belair that the vampire war back then was not "easy" at all. In order to defeat Kalyan's undead army and the powerful blood knights, humans don't know how much they have paid. Speaking of which, since the end of the Kallian War, the Seven Central Kingdoms have not been very stable - it seems to be the curse of the vampire family. First there was the Greenskin invasion, then the war in Sylvania and the subsequent civil wars of Rhynn and Sherm, then the invasion from Chaos, and then the invasion of the elves. Internal strife continued, and externally one failure followed another. So much so that in the nearly twenty years since the vampires took over Sylvania, no force has been able to muster the strength to eliminate the vampires. ¡°Ahem, don¡¯t talk about the past, even in the foreseeable future, no one will try to eliminate vampires - of course, the premise is that the vampires don¡¯t do anything too outrageous. As the saying goes, rabbits will bite when they are anxious, although no one has the energy to spare.?To deal with vampires, but if a deadly threat is detected, countries can still come together. For a neighbor with malicious intentions, you can hide from him, ignore him, and pretend he doesn't exist. But if a robber comes to kill you, you have no choice but to take up arms and fight to the death. The night is getting darker and darker - in the tavern, the drunken dwarves are getting more and more noisy (Ashurufat remembers that the dwarves have a feud with vampires, but does not understand why they still come to Sylvania to do business). In fact, they Their voices did not rise, but the surroundings became quieter and quieter, making their voices appear louder and louder by contrast. Like all dwarves, they have begun to brag about their past achievements - as every human knows, dwarves are always dishonest and always contain that kind of "artistic exaggeration". There was a loud-mouthed dwarf bragging about how he killed six greenskins with a single bullet, but within a few minutes, those six killed were joined by four more of his brothers. ¡°¡At that time, the Great Forger rushed in front, and I followed him, using my ax to kill all the greenskins blocking the road one by one¡¡± He looked at the sky, counting the time absentmindedly. He knew that the stakes were high tonight - in fact, even with the shield armor as his trump card, his chances of winning were no more than 40%. After all, the opponent is the strongest among the vampires, and he also has the advantage of home field. Although vampires are said to be very aristocratic, it is normal for even aristocrats to order their men to besiege intruders in their own mansion. It¡¯s almost time. Ashurufat¡¯s route was no different from last night. He originally thought there would be something different around the Dark Castle, but in fact everything was still the same. He followed the original route, which was the invasion route last night, and climbed into the castle through the low window. Although he carefully rechecked everything suspicious, nothing changed. There is no magic, no mechanical traps, and no guards on duty. The entire dark castle was as relaxed as last night. Although Ashurufat was very cautious at first, he soon realized that this was indeed not a trap. Or it can be understood that even if there are traps, they are not placed on the first floor. It is easy to understand the Scarlet Duke¡¯s idea of ??doing this: there are too many residents on the first floor, and it is really not suitable to lay a special trap. Obviously, whether they are magic or mechanical traps, those who accidentally step on them (no matter who they are) are treated equally. If a person wants to catch mice at home, he will never install those iron-jawed tiger traps, but a mousetrap that is harmless to humans - although the tiger trap can kill mice instantly, it can also break the bones of his family members. legs. Similarly, the guards are not suitable - it is difficult for three or five guards to keep Ashurufat, but if they are too densely packed, there is a high possibility that the guard arrangement that is completely different from usual will be discovered, and then through some channel ( Who knows if the intruder has an informant? ) Spread the news. The most important thing is that with the Scarlet Duke hostage in hand, there is no need to worry about the prey escaping. He can wait patiently for Ashurufat to come to the top. The more lax the situation outside, the more dangerous the situation inside is - Ashurufat concluded this. If the enemy has laid out a battlefield waiting for you to come, the smartest strategy is not to go there. This is very obvious logic. But sometimes, the reason why others put in the effort to set up the battlefield is because they know you have to go. Fighting is not something you can avoid if you want to avoid it. If you don't go, it will be more dangerous and more troublesome. Will the specific place be the third floor or the second floor? Ashurufat thought. The vampire may have prepared a barbed trap, but he would never have guessed that he was covered in unbreakable eggshells. Although he didn¡¯t know how long the force field shield on the armor would last, he thought it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for a few hours. Now, he was standing at the entrance to the stairs leading to the underground cell. If he was not mistaken, the little girl and Lalia were now waiting for him to rescue them. And he does have the key to open the cell door now. Maybe he should solve this little problem first before going to the vampire? ? Then he rejected this method. Because obviously, if he succeeds, he can naturally take the two of them away with him. If he failed - then it would be impossible for the little girl to escape from Sylvania. Instead, in doing so, he only further exposed his weakness and gave the vampire an opportunity to take more hostages. Ashurufat walked forward, along the path he walked last night, towards the upward stairs leading to the second floor. He soon noticed something strange. Last night, he had avoided those figures walking around at night more than once, but tonight such people disappeared. Yes, everyone behavesHuddle up in your room and close the door. The corridors, aisles, and squares were all empty, not to mention people, not even a ghost. ¡°If this is a coincidence, an accident, then I¡¯m afraid Ashurufat himself doesn¡¯t believe it. Are you waiting for me? He laughed ferociously in his heart. A vampire may be dangerous, but he is not invulnerable. A figure is at the entrance of the steps. Ashurufat noticed someone over there from a long distance away. But in fact, this figure has always been hazy and unclear. This is not a normal phenomenon, because Ashurufat has dark vision - he can even see the carved lines on the wooden handrails beside the steps, but he cannot see the details of the figure clearly. He could - could only - deduce that the figure was small and had an odd posture. After getting closer, he finally found out that the reason for this strange visual appearance was the camouflage color. The color of this figure's body is completely integrated with the steps, making it impossible to separate it from the background in detail. It wasn't until he got very close that he recognized that it was a strange creature, shaped like a human child, with its body partially covered in fur and partially naked, and with a pair of cat-like furry and shaking ears on its head. A tail was exposed behind his back, wagging energetically from side to side. The Sam tribe - or to use another more popular name, "half-beasts". The half-beast was looking at him with curious eyes that seemed golden in the darkness. Ashurufat immediately remembered what Berrell told him before. He once had a half-beast servant - although he had completely forgotten about it (he couldn't even remember the cause and effect), but Belar probably wouldn't lie to him. If Berrell wanted to lie, he would never lie about such a worthless detail.
