"Unbelievable, you actually want to use me to test the effect of flash bombs! I thought we were already partners!"
Zhu Jia condemned Luya angrily, it was just that close! He is about to suffer a second blow of destruction!
And Luya was holding a dozen of reagents in her hand happily at the moment, and answered him without any guilt, "No, it's just a strategy of bargaining to fool the boss, how could I do that."
Really, why does he think this girl can do anything...
"...Forget it, change the subject. How are you going to enter Julius' territory? You will be taken away by patrolmen before you even come to the castle." Zhu Jia snorted dissatisfiedly, but decided to remind Lu Ya. I don't want to lose a life I finally got back in vain.
Vampires have their own territory, especially Count Julius, the ancestor. In addition to other transformed vampires, there are also other demons who have joined them and will guard them during the day. There are a lot of eyeliners, which are actually not easy to deal with.
"It's very simple, just take me in."
She happily put all the reagents back into her backpack, and then watched Zhu Jia and him begin to exchange lines.
"I remember that I am the 'blood bag' ordered by Julius. They are going to have a carnival at night, and you are the death knight sent by the Human Ranch to deliver the goods to your door."
In fact, this identity is really very reliable, in order to escort the safety of the ingredients, not to be robbed by other demons halfway. Vampires will ask necromancers to prepare warriors especially for the pigmen's ranch, and death knights are usually responsible for guarding and transporting them. This has to praise Gudis, he is really thoughtful. Fortunately, Luya herself is smart enough to make full use of it.
Zhu Jia couldn't help being stunned by Luya's words, then he slowly opened his brows, stared at Luya and grinned.
He is also a smart man, and he immediately agrees with Luya's thoughts.
"It's really you... Your courage and wisdom are beyond imagination. I suddenly understand why Gudis has expectations of you, maybe it really can."
"No, I've always been witty."
Luya is not humble, she sees the shadow of Zelos in Zhu Jia's smile.
Go save the world, the third prince of the Astra Empire.
…
After leaving the grocery store, Zhu Jia took Luya through several urban areas of Duinbrook, and soon approached the territory where the ancestor vampire was.
This place is darker than other places in Duinbrook, the sunlight is filtered very thoroughly, and there are many undead creatures on the street. Some beautiful zombies are wearing Rococo-style dresses, and they are choosing cosmetics that can cover the spots on their faces in the powder shop.
Female undead creatures are also more sophisticated than males. Compared with male zombies who have stitches all over their bodies and stench that is difficult to cover up, female zombies spend a lot of time every day on incense and embalming to cover up the stench on their bodies. Including heavy makeup on their faces, beauty is always the instinct of all women, whether they are alive or dead.
When passing through this street, almost all the undead creatures stared at her. In addition to the reason why a living person entered here, there is also a very important point that she put a paper bag on her head, and only the eyes were gouged out. The location of the two holes looks very odd.
"What the hell is going on with that, why is it wearing a ridiculous hood?"
Because there are usually necromancers who send death knights to deliver food to Earl Julius, the zombies didn't think it was too strange. She was probably the dessert tonight, and no one dared to touch the earl's food.
It's just because the girl's Hinako's sweet blood breath is quite attractive, attracting many cannibal monsters. I hope that after the earl sucks the girl dry, they can also get a share.
The death knight completely ignored the prying eyes of the surrounding undead creatures, and led the girl to Earl Julius' castle in a swaggering manner.
"Stop, where is it?"
The gatekeeper of the ancient castle stopped them, and looked Zhu Jia up and down suspiciously, "What are you doing here, a face you've never seen before?"
"D197 Ranch, Earl Julius ordered fresh live people in three days, and I was ordered to come and deliver them."
Following the example of an ordinary death knight, Zhu Jia answered the gatekeeper's question in an empty and mechanical tone.
This is Piggy's father's ranch, and Luya only knows its number, so no matter what time it takes, this ranch will be blamed.
"Have you made an order, Lord Earl? Why didn't you get the order to open the city gate..."
The gatekeeper couldn't help muttering, but lowered the drawbridge anyway. Just when Zhu Jia and Luya were about to go over, he stopped them suddenly.
"and many more!"
The gatekeeper ran over with a weapon in his hands. He stared suspiciously at Luya who was wearing a hood, and couldn't help asking, "Why is this bloody man still wearing this thing on his head? It wasn't like this before."
"Because she is ugly, the rancher doesn't want to affect the earl's appetite." Zhu Jia replied solemnly. without hesitation.
What? How dare you take the opportunity to scold her!
Looking at Zhu Jia who was smiling maliciously, Lu Ya secretly kicked Zhu Jia while the gatekeeper was not being caught.
"?"
So Zhu Jia was not to be outdone, and stabbed Luya with the death knight's hilt in retaliation.
! What kind of elementary school student is he!
However, when they cheated each other, the gatekeeper suddenly became angry: "What's the matter with you? Don't you trust the rules? How many times have I said that Lord Julius hates ugly women the most! Ugly ones A woman will turn off his appetite, and he is not worthy of the earl biting her neck!"
"..."
What? There is such a thing
Feelings are an old thing or a face control? Do you still care about whether the food looks good or not after eating a meal? Go to him!
Luya was very angry immediately, and was about to consider whether to kill the gatekeeper directly. But Zhu Jia's mind turned quickly, he was once a little prince of lies, and now he quickly found a reason for Luya.
"Although this is the case, her blood is very sweet. This is the blood man that Lord Julius made, and he is willing to make an exception for her."
After finishing speaking, he glared at Luya viciously. This woman insisted on covering his face. In his opinion, it was superfluous. It would kill the vampire anyway, and ordinary monsters of other races could not distinguish the appearance of human beings. , blocking the face is meaningless at all.
"Really? That's what it is."
The lizard man's tone weakened all of a sudden, he wasn't quite sure if this was really the case, but the count was resting at this time, and he didn't dare to disturb the count's rest. If it was true, it would not be appropriate for him to stop the earl's food, so he had to wave his hand and say.
"Well then, you go in, if the Earl is not satisfied, it is your ranch's responsibility!"
"Of course we know." The death knight replied coldly.
So the lizardman stopped blocking them and let the two pass the suspension bridge. Luya pretended to be a flesh man whose soul had been captured, and followed Zhu Jia into the castle obediently and without saying a word.
The door behind him was slowly closed, and the castle was extremely gloomy, the curtains were drawn tightly, and the light could not be seen all year round. There was a smell of rotting corpses in the air, and the stench filled the air.
As soon as she entered the castle, five low-level blood races quickly climbed down the stairs, staring at Luya with greedy and extremely hungry eyes.
"Hee hee... nice smell..."
"It smells so delicious, it seems to contain huge energy, it's the best..."
"Hungry... hungry..."
These vampires are not at all like the elegant vampires that Luya has seen in film and television works. They are closer to monsters. The hair follicles on their heads are all necrotic, without a single hair, and their skin is extremely pale and dry due to lack of nutrition. The zombies are not much better, only the teeth are very developed, completely destroying the fantasies of Mary Sue girls.
No, it should be said that no hair is normal!
Metabolism is completely stopped, how can dead hair follicles grow back? It should be said that their appearance is the normal state of dark creatures...
"These are blood races converted by the ancestors. Although the ancestors returned their consciousness to them, they are now completely dominated by instinct and may attack you out of control."
Zhu Jia looked around cautiously, and slowly crawled out some ghouls from the corner of the castle, their appearances were even scarier than these transformed vampires.
Luya suddenly didn't have any expectations for the ancestor of the blood clan at all - if he could tolerate so many disgusting things in his castle, this ancestor should also be quite disgusting, probably similar to the tyrant in Resident Evil.
"It seems that there are more than a dozen... What's going on with this castle, is it a zombie city?"
"How do I know? This is the first time I've been to this kind of place. I, I'm afraid... No, I can't be afraid. That guy from Zeros will definitely not be afraid..."
Zhu Jia's legs trembled like a sieve, Luya glanced at him speechlessly, she had never seen such a cowardly death knight, why was he so ashamed.
But Zhu Jia quickly drew out his sword, and when he was about to fight, Luya patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Hurry up and find an airtight place to hide."
"!!"
Zhu Jia was startled, "You don't mean to—"
At the same time as his voice fell, Luya took out flash bombs with her left and right hands.
"Hey, wait a minute!!"
Zhu Jia was so frightened that his sword fell to the ground, but Luya didn't want to stop and wait for him at all. He didn't even have time to pick up the sword. Before Luya smashed the bomb to the floor of the castle, the terrified Zhu Jia died. And at the fastest speed after death, he got into the back of the blackout curtain and wrapped himself tightly.
Falk! This crazy girl! !
The strong light exploded for nearly a minute, and there were endless screams in the castle. The vampires and ghouls who crawled out smelling the smell of food were almost wiped out. After the strong light ended, Zhu Jia wrapped himself in the blackout curtains and shivered for a long time, until the crazy girl outside repeatedly reminded him that it was over, then he slowly crawled out of the curtains like a rag doll, He stared at the messy old castle with horror on his face.
"..."
Those poor dark creatures have all melted into a pile of dust at this moment, as if they were played in an old movie called "Avengers" that he watched two months before his death. With a snap of the fingers, everyone turned into ashes...
