Vampire castle.
The goblet is filled with bright red blood, emitting an aroma that is alluring to vampires.
"Sir, the demon hunter you are looking for is now with Bishop Isaac." A low-level vampire lowered his head, not daring to look up at the sir who had just returned.
In the world of vampires, the power of the vampire who gave you the First Embrace determines the upper limit of your power. Players with vampire physiques are easy to level up, but 99% of vampires have almost no possibility of leveling up after becoming vampires.
If Ning Wen was not here, he probably would not be able to connect the handsome and elegant young man in front of him with the skinny vampire who had chased him before.
"I've been sleeping for so many years, but the power of the church hasn't weakened at all." The young vampire sneered, "It's still just as annoying."
He had chosen this place to sleep specifically in order to obtain the inheritance, but he didn't expect that people from the church would interfere at this time.
"Sir, nowadays it is different from before. There are many demon hunters with low strength." The low-level vampire replied in a low voice, "If you want blood servants, there are many of them."
“No rush.” The young vampire smiled slowly. “Although the blood contract ceremony was not completely successful, it has started. The demon hunter might be summoned by the blood contract and come to me on his own initiative.”
It all depends on how strong the demon hunter's will is.
However, thinking about the demon hunter's previous performance, I'm afraid the transformation has already begun quietly.
Ning Buwen heard a voice in his dream when he fell asleep.
"Come, my servant, come to me."
"Give me your loyalty."
"I'm the only one you can trust."
…
Damn it, when I get the chance, I will crush that vampire into pieces.
Don’t you know that disturbing someone’s sweet dreams should be punished by death
You just do pyramid schemes in your dreams and talk nonsense, without any real substance. Who would go to see you except a fool
Ning Buwen had low air pressure when he woke up in the morning because of poor sleep quality.
For Ning Buyen, a good quality sleep is a must.
For this reason, he even skipped the invitation of Process Yuxue.
How could this vampire dare to disturb Cheng Yuxue's sleep? He was still young, and a sufficient amount of sleep could make him grow taller!
When Ning Bu Wen woke up, he gritted his teeth and silently put the vampire on his blacklist.
Haha, since you don’t let me sleep well, I will make sure you don’t even think about sleeping for the rest of your life!
"Woof—" Xiao Xin didn't dare to offend his master, so he had to lie on the ground and wait for his breakfast.
As for Ning Buwen's breakfast, well, as a wounded patient, he has to wait for someone special to deliver it.
"Bishop Isaac." The baron came to Isaac's room and explained his purpose. "I want to become a demon hunter."
Since this dungeon is the legacy of the devil, becoming a demon hunter must be one of the prerequisites for clearing this dungeon.
Coincidentally, both he and Solomon were qualified to become "demon hunters", which could not be just a coincidence.
In fact, it is not difficult to become a demon hunter. As long as you have certain exorcism items, decent physical skills, and a certification from a high-level priest of the church, and perform some rituals and sprinkle some holy water, you can become a demon hunter.
If there was a bishop like Isaac, they could even skip the ceremony and just sprinkle some holy water on them to become witchers.
Therefore, neither Casso nor Solomon would miss this opportunity.
Last night, Casso and Solomon reached a tentative cooperation agreement.
Of course, they did not directly report their identities and real names, they just reached a brief agreement.
Because as things stand, both of them need to find a way to become demon hunters, and they have areas where they can cooperate with each other.
In this world, there are all kinds of non-human races, and they are almost all high-level players in terms of strength. To be a lone ranger in such a world full of gods and ghosts, you must be either extremely crazy or extremely perverted.
Therefore, necessary cooperation is conducive to customs clearance.
Isaac was not too surprised. Considering the baron's previous inexplicable behavior, he could almost guess what he was thinking.
"Why?" Bishop Isaac still wanted to hear the other party's reason.
"Because if you become a demon hunter and make great contributions, you can obtain the title of nobility." Casso made a reasonable request.
Because of the existence of non-human beings, people have great trust in the church that can expel these evil spirits and demons. However, secular power also wants to have such power. The king cannot intervene in priests and pastors, but demon hunters can.
Although demon hunters enjoy subsidies from the church, most of the money for these subsidies still comes from the state.
Therefore, the identity of a demon hunter is actually very free.
"By becoming a demon hunter, I will have the opportunity to go further. I don't want to be a small baron in such a remote place forever." Casso looked at Bishop Isaac seriously and said.
This was indeed the Baron's original wish.
They are both barons, so why can some people live in a bustling city while he can only stay in such a rural place
"Sure." Isaac was not an unreasonable person. "In a few days, I will hold a ceremony for my apprentice knight to be promoted to a knight. Baron, you can come with me then."
A witcher is not necessarily a church knight, but a church knight is definitely a witcher.
This is also the reason why Solomon came to Casso for cooperation.
If one wants to become a demon hunter as quickly as possible, he can only start from the ceremony where he is promoted to a knight.
Although I don't know whether it's true or not, if the ceremony can be presided over by someone at the bishop level, the power that the witcher can possess will increase significantly.
Ning Buwen's original body was just a small priest who performed ceremonies, so it was normal that he was much weaker.
"Thank you, Bishop." A slight smile appeared on Casso's face.
Only players who become demon hunters can be said to have truly laid down roots in this dungeon.
Ning Buwen was unable to attend the ceremony as he was still recovering from his injuries, but the fact that an apprentice knight and a baron both became witchers was undoubtedly a topic of conversation among the servants in the castle.
To Ning Buwen, this actually foreshadowed some bad news.
This proves that the probability that these two people are players and have started working together is quite high.
So, should I also seek cooperation with them
It's not a good deal to chase after others. If I want to take the initiative, they have to come to me, instead of me going to them.
Moreover, that apprentice knight always gave Ning Buwen a very familiar feeling.
Recognizing people is not just about relying on eyes. A person's habits, his little movements, the tone of his voice, and the pace of his walk are all unique marks of that person.
The reason why Ning Buwen’s acting skills are superb is that he is able to change these little habits, which naturally gives people a completely different feeling.
No.
Compared to these two players who don’t know the details, maybe I should solve the problem of the voice in my head first.
This matter cannot be rushed and needs to be considered over a long period of time.
Back to the point, the news that Bishop Isaac had come to the city and was staying at the Baron's house soon spread.
Isaac alone was not very conspicuous, but the knights behind him were not. Therefore, the news spread quickly. Some evil spirits in the surrounding area were frightened and ran away quickly after hearing the news. Although ordinary residents could not see these things, they could feel that the air was much fresher.
Players with various identities who were also teleported to nearby cities by the copy also began to get restless.
Some of them were witchers right away like Ning Buyen, while others were just one step away from becoming a witcher like Casso Solomon.
Originally, they were still waiting for an opportunity to find out the news in their own city, but now after hearing the news about Isaac, they immediately rushed here.
They are not stupid and know that this bishop may be the key to clearing this dungeon.
One of the reasons that prompted Casso and Solomon to work together was the uncontrollable nature of these players.
Players who can reach the advanced personal dungeon are all very strong. If they fight alone, they will not know how they died.
"My Lord Baron, as you expected, many witchers from nearby towns have come here, and some gentlemen and nobles have also come here to meet the Bishop."
The servants of the castle reported one by one from below.
"Sure enough." Solomon smiled and looked at Casso, "We have quite a few opponents."
"You go down first." Casso ordered the servant.
"yes."
Soon, Casso and Solomon were the only ones left in the room.
"How's that NPC who's suspected to be a player?" Seeing that Casso had no intention of talking, Solomon had to change the subject.
The identity of the demon hunter named Nicholas is unclear.
It's not unreasonable to say that he is a player, but looking at his appearance, he does conform to the code of conduct of an NPC.
How to treat this person depends on his identity.
"Whether he is an NPC or a demon hunter, he is in our castle now. No matter who he is, if he is smart, he will choose to cooperate with us." Cass said coldly, "If he doesn't obey, there are many ways to make him unable to move without killing him."
Compared to Solomon, Kaso prefers to be alone. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many players in this instance, he would never have the possibility of cooperating with Solomon.
Looking at Casso like this, Solomon actually felt quite subtle.
I was like this before I suffered a great loss.
Rather than seeking cooperation, they prefer to rely on their own strength and are too confident in their own abilities and their own vision of people.
Such people will either continue to have smooth sailing or they will suffer a major setback.
Solomon was the latter.
That's great.
Solomon couldn't help but think so.
The person this Baron player met was himself, not Ning Buwen. If it was that guy Ning Buwen, he would definitely have been able to trick this player into a miserable state.
Solomon had the thought, "I'm in trouble, so everyone should be in trouble too." It can be said that this was not a very upright idea.
Of course, he wouldn't say a word of these.
"Let's not rush for now." Solomon suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind. "I have also investigated the lady of the manor that Nicholas mentioned. There is nothing wrong with her. But I did find a document that said that a hundred years ago, a very evil and powerful vampire appeared in this place. Later, he was ambushed by the church and a dozen high-level demon hunters, and the whereabouts of the vampire are unknown. I suspect that the vampire who attacked Nicholas should be the one from a hundred years ago."
"One hundred years ago?" Cass thought about it seriously. "My ancestors were granted this land about a hundred years ago."
"Yes, the vampire intended to make this place his own, so he killed all the nobles and priests in this land, and more than half of the residents here were killed or injured. Most of the current residents moved here later. A hundred years ago, this was a fairly developed city, and the owner at that time was a viscount."
But after the crisis a hundred years ago, this place is no longer what it used to be. The nobles who knew about it are no longer willing to come here, and the value of the land has dropped. Now it is the turn of the baron's family who have no background and no talent.
"Does the document say anything else?" Casso felt that he had grasped a key point.
"No, it was a hundred years ago after all, and many documents have disappeared. What happened back then was confidential. It's also because such a long time has passed that I, a knight, am qualified to read it." Solomon shook his head, "But we can all guess why."
The vampire is not sick, nor does he need gold, silver and treasures like humans. Why would he attack the people in a city for no reason and make the entire city his own
It is simply because there is something in this city, and that something is so important that it cannot be known by others, so this practice of "clearing interference" has emerged.
The church responded quickly.
In that era of underdeveloped transportation and information, as soon as a priest and a viscount died, the church immediately came with a dozen high-level demon hunters.
High-level demon hunters are not cabbages, how can you get them so easily
It can be seen that the church is also aware of this place.
These players must obtain a demon-related item to pass the level, and their goal is even greater, they want to obtain the demon's inheritance. Almost all of these players are assigned to the vicinity of this city, with various identities, and it is unreasonable to say that the place of this inheritance is not in this city.
But the question is, where exactly
Although this city is not big, it is not small either.
If you search one by one, you may not find it even if you search for ten years.
"Isaac knows about it." Casso frowned slightly and said, "You are his knight, can't you get some information out of him?"
"There are dozens of people in our Knights Order combined." Solomon resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "He couldn't have told us so casually. By the way, he is a genuine bishop, and his strength is definitely not weaker than those of us high-level players."
Without the help of the prop cards, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat the bishop together.
Do you really think that the bishops of this era are the same as those guys in later generations
"But it's a clue anyway." Cass also knew that things were not that easy. "As long as he stays in our castle, we can get information from him."
"That's true." Solomon agreed with him. "If the two of us work together, we should be able to gain his trust after a while and learn the whole story."
night.
Ning Buwen dreamed of that voice again.
However, this time the voice was clearer, and it even gave a direct map to find the vampire in the dream.
Ning Bu Wen woke up from his sleep, and even Xiao Xin, who was in a low mood, didn't dare to come over.
Of course, he had a tool that could block these mental attacks, but he didn't want to use it. He also wanted this baron and that knight to guess his identity more.
This is not a solution.
Ning Buwen looked at Xiaoxin and said a few words to him.
Xiao Xin squatted there obediently, and when he saw Ning Bu Wen, he climbed over the wall and went out.
The demon hunter is in good physical condition. After a few days of rest, although he cannot move too much, he has no problem walking normally.
You can't get a tiger cub without risking it.
The baron and the knight would most likely start with Bishop Isaac. Unless he joined them and cooperated with them, it would be impossible for him to obtain intelligence. Otherwise, he would have to face off against the two opponents in advance, and he might even lose Isaac's trust.
In this case, it would be better to attack the vampires.
Vampires live longer and must know more than the people here.
It’s just catching a grandson, it’s not like you haven’t pretended before!
Ning Buwen walked all the way up the mountain and stopped at the place predicted in the dream.
After waiting for about ten minutes, two bats flew over and turned into two people.
"Yes, it is the aura of the Marquis."
"Is this the blood servant of the demon hunter? Is that okay?"
"Look at his eyes, they won't move anymore. He is definitely a blood servant."
These two low-level vampires were waiting for Ning Buwen here. He didn't wait for him a few days ago, but he finally waited for him today.
"It turns out that the transformation time of a demon hunter is longer than that of an ordinary person."
"So what? You can't resist it, right?"
"Let's take him away quickly."
"Walk."
The two vampires looked at each other, one of them grabbed Ning Buwen's hand, turned into a bat again, lifted Ning Buwen up, and flew towards the castle where the Marquis was.
After the clock struck midnight three times, Xiao Xin went to Isaac's room and howled as Ning Buyen had instructed.
In the dead of night, the barking of dogs is extremely powerful.
Almost everyone was woken up.
—This is also one of Ning Buwen’s grievances: If I can’t sleep well, no one else can sleep well!
Isaac and the others rushed to Ning Buwen's room as soon as possible and found that Ning Buwen had disappeared, the window was open, and the demon hunter came to report the news again. They immediately realized that something might have happened.
Xiaoxin led the way for them in front, followed by a group of people.
"Could that person really be the key NPC?" Solomon's inner guess was unconsciously biased.
There's nothing we can do about it, since Nicholas has been captured so often.
If he were a player, he shouldn't be so weak.
Ning Buwen was brought to the top of the mountain by two bats.
In this era, few people dare to enter the deep mountains, not to mention the top of a mountain like this, where there are countless beasts lurking. But for vampires, it is a good place.
The vampire's castle is much more luxurious than the Baron's house, and it looks more medieval and classical.
Ning Bu Wen still had a confused look on his face, his eyes were dull, and he didn't look like he was in a normal state.
The bat with him turned into a vampire again and pulled Ning Buwen into the castle.
A vampire in luxurious clothes slowly turned around, waved his hand, and asked these low-level vampires to go down.
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
A marquis
Ning Buwen was quite surprised. The Vampire Marquis was almost a big shot in the vampire world. If he was fully powerful, using Pandora's combat power, he would be in the top 100.
He is definitely a character that many players are afraid of.
"Let me ask you, what is the bishop doing here?" the Vampire Marquis asked while sitting on a chair.
"I don't know." Ning Buwen made his voice sound weak.
"How many people did he bring with him?"
"Probably dozens of people, but I'm not sure exactly." Ning didn't ask and continued to shake his head.
“Are they aware of my identity?”
“I don’t know if they know.”
The Vampire Marquis knew nothing about this question, and his originally smug face turned ugly.
"You're useless, you know nothing!"
"I've been recovering from my injuries." Ning Buwen replied, "So I don't know."
"Humans are really good at making excuses." The Vampire Marquis sneered, "I put so much thought into it, but in the end I found a guy who knows nothing to be my blood servant? He's so incompetent, I might as well just eat him."
The vampire marquis was very angry, and immediately waved his hand for other vampires to come in and pull down this useless witcher blood servant.
It seems I can't pretend anymore.
This is a vampire with little patience. No wonder he has been buried under the ground for so many years. It shows that he is not very smart.
"Mr. Marquis, don't be anxious." Ning Buwen stopped pretending and found a chair to sit down under the surprised gaze of the vampire.
"You are not trapped by my blood contract, you are just pretending!" said the vampire, showing his fangs.
If there was no blood contract, Ning Buwen would be an enemy!
"If I was really in the blood contract, I would have been discovered by Bishop Isaac long ago. The food and drinks he gave me were all from the church. If there was anything wrong with me, they would have discovered it. Do you think they are as stupid as you?" Ning Buwen looked lazily at the not-so-smart vampire, "What do you want to find in that city? Can you tell me?"
"I'll tell you when I turn you into a blood slave." The vampire marquis had no intention of letting Ning Buwen go again.
"Think it over carefully." Ning Buwen didn't want to fight him, "I came here to cooperate with you."
"Humans and vampires are working together, what a joke!"
"I'm not kidding." Ning Buwen looked at the vampire and laughed, "I know that you want a certain inheritance, and this inheritance requires the power of a demon hunter to open, right?"
"How do you know?"
“… I was just tricking you.” Ning Buwen looked at the vampire with a much gentler gaze. There weren’t many vampires this stupid.
If he didn't have the strength of a marquis, he would have died countless times.
"Let's cooperate, and when the time comes, I only want half of the inheritance you want." Ning Bu Wen looked at him with a pair of sincere big eyes.
The author has something to say: Ning Buwen: How difficult it is to find a vampire who is dumber than Wen Duoduo.
