The area around the hunting ground was surrounded by two hundred Royal Guards that day, and the local Auxiliary also lined up five hundred soldiers from the Public Security Bureau to guard the periphery of the hunting ground.
No one is allowed to enter until the matter is investigated clearly!
This is an order issued by Miss Nicole on behalf of Duke Tulip!
Roddy did not expect this incident to block the news - in fact, the nobles who escaped from the woods and participated in the day's hunting activities would not keep secrets at all. These guys who usually make trouble for nothing are the most powerful carriers for spreading this kind of strange news.
Rody even guessed that in a few days, the news would reach the imperial capital, and it would probably be published in the "newspaper".
The first thing to be shaken was Xiqiu City!
Everyone knows that a monster was discovered at the Tulip family hunting ground in the suburbs - and two nobles died unexpectedly! Later, even several roads leading to the hunting grounds were blocked.
And that young man named Roddy, an officer of the Royal Guards and the lover of Miss Nicole, the eldest daughter of the Tulip family, suddenly became famous... I heard that it was that guy who killed the monster all by himself!
I heard that even hundreds of elite soldiers couldn't take down that monster!
I heard that the boy who hit Roddy is extremely powerful...
I heard that the boy named Roddy is very handsome...
I heard that the boy named Roddy is Miss Nicole’s lover...
I heard that the boy named Roddy was originally the captain of the Duke's personal soldiers. Later, because of his extraordinary prowess, he won the trust of Miss Nicole...
I heard that when he was in the imperial capital, Roddy had trysts with Miss Nicole in the garden every day...
It is said that Rody defeated many love rivals who pursued Miss Nicole in the imperial capital. He once broke the leg of a love rival...
Countless rumors began to spread, and Rody became the focus of attention - and most of these focuses focused on the secrets between Rody and the eldest lady of the Tulip family - it is no wonder that the human and earth psychology always likes to seek novelties. This kind of ambiguous story involving heroes and beauties is always more popular than ordinary news.
And on the night when Roddy and others returned to the city from the hunting ground, in an inconspicuous and dilapidated small building on the southern outskirts of Xiqiu City...
Two figures in black cloaks flashed across the night path, and then floated into the courtyard downstairs like a gust of wind, and then slipped in almost against the crack of the door...
The night was silent, the surroundings were peaceful, and the two figures seemed to have no weight at all. Sliding up the dark stairs.
In the hall on the second floor, there are several tattered and rotten chairs, and the rust on the metal candlesticks next to them can completely illustrate the age of this place.
There are also several oil paintings on the wall that have long been left in ruins. What is worth noting is that the oil paintings seem to be frontal portraits of people. Neatly arranged on the wall, the characters and faces in each painting are somewhat imaginary, as if they are records of each generation of descendants of a family...
Two figures stood in the hall, facing the portrait on the wall, and knelt down on one knee at the same time. One of them whispered in a hoarse voice: "Sir, we are here to resurrect you."
As if a gust of dark wind was blowing, only a few soft chirping sounds were heard. Candlelights were automatically lit on the candlesticks on both sides of the hall at the same time. The dim and flickering candlelight dimly illuminated the dilapidated hall.
Only a shrill laugh was heard, and the face of a middle-aged man in the portrait at the back of the wall suddenly moved!
The originally serious face was distorted and gradually formed an expression that could barely be called a "smile".
Then, the picture gradually protruded, and actually a head stuck out from the oil painting on the wall! !
She has long brown curly hair hanging down from both sides of her head, a pale and almost scary face, and one eye is red and the other is black!
With the sharp laughter, this face revealed a row of white teeth... If you look carefully, on both sides of the upper row of teeth, there are two long, sharp fangs like wild beasts!
After the head protruded from the oil painting, it was immediately followed by his neck, then shoulders, arms, upper body...
The two guys kneeling on the ground lowered their heads, not daring to look up at all, until they saw a pair of feet and a pair of shiny leather boots in front of them. The owner of the leather boots spoke slowly: "How are things going?"
Although he tried his best to lower his voice, his voice was still very sharp and harsh.
After he finished saying this, he turned around and wrapped his body in a large black cloak. His whole body was hidden under the cloak. His high pointed collar also covered his extremely pale face. Most of it. Under the candlelight, his shadow was dragged long and diagonally on the wall...
The two people kneeling on the ground began to tremble. Among them, the guy who spoke just now, his teeth chattering, said in a trembling voice: "My lord, my lord, I, we, are late..."
"Too late?" With a cry, his cloak was lifted up, and the man called "Sir" screamed: "What's too late! What happened?"
The two guys on the ground blocked him even harder, their teeth clashing loudly, and they almost collapsed on the ground.
The "adult" had a gloomy face, and suddenly stretched out a scarlet tongue to lick his lips, and said coldly: "Speak quickly! If you don't say anything, I will suck the blood of both of you!"
After a strong stop, the two people kneeling on the ground finally spoke. Although their voices were still trembling, they managed to tell the whole story intermittently.
"Big, big, sir... The two of us were ordered to take back the holy beasts... It's just that we arrived late... One of the holy beasts had already been encountered by humans. When we arrived, the holy beast had already been killed... I, I, we, don’t know how humans killed the holy beast... I, when we went there, we only saw the corpse... The holy beast was brought to the shore by them... It seemed... It seemed like it was beaten to death. …
"On the shore? Smashed to death?" The voice of the guy called "Sir" suddenly raised a few points, with anger in his tone, and shouted: "Do you want to lie to me? How could the holy beast leave the water? Those humans How can you get it to the shore? Did you deceive me? "
Although he was too frightened to look up at his master, he could clearly see from the reflection of candlelight on the wall that the shadow of the master in front of him suddenly expanded a bit, his black cloak was fully unfolded, and his hands turned into claws. …
"No, I don't dare!!" The kneeling man shouted hurriedly: "We really don't dare to deceive you!"
Another one also stammered: "When we went there, we only saw the corpse of the holy beast... There were also many human soldiers guarding the outside of the hunting ground... Today, people from the Tulip family should have gone to the hunting ground... Then, maybe with There was a conflict between the holy beasts... "
After the two of them finished speaking, they were both sweating profusely, their heads almost hanging on the ground, and their bodies trembling like frightened mice.
I thought that the next step would be to greet the Lord's fury, but after waiting for a while, I heard Lord Feng's cold voice...
"You two guys... I have already said that after the Tulip family comes, we should not let the beasts roam in that lake... You just went today, does that count as disobeying my order?"
Following a gloomy sneer, the two kneeling people laughed horribly. He quickly said loudly: "This... Sir... you also know that it is hundreds of miles away from Xiqiu. There is no place more suitable for raising sacred animals than that lake... Moreover, that place was originally the private territory of the Tulip family, and there was never anyone there on weekdays. Went... we didn't expect today... "
Another person also added: "Also, sir, we have also reported to you that the lake itself is a bit weird... I don't know why, the holy beast is raised in that lake and grows extremely fast... We only have this holy beast. Less than a month after being put in, it has grown to the third level of evolution... "
"Wait..." The adult suddenly said coldly: "What did you say? Level three evolution? In just one month, you have grown to level three evolution? How fast?"
"Yes!" The kneeling people said at the same time: "We saw with our own eyes the size of the holy beast today. It has definitely reached the third level of evolution!"
Sighing softly, the adult's voice seemed to sound a little gentler, "Okay, although I lost a holy beast... But I still gained something... I want to see that lake in person, if it is really that magical If so, you must make good use of it... Well... it takes a month for the holy beast to grow to the third level of evolution..." He changed his tone to a cold tone and continued: "Is there anything else? "
The guy on the left kneeling on the ground saw that the elder was no longer angry, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered: "And... Sir, there is another thing, that is, we found the traitor wanted by the elders of the tribe in Xiqiu... that woman !”
"What!" The voice became sharp again: "You mean Nidis!! Is that the bastard?? She is in Xiqiu!!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Sensing the fury of the adults, this guy's voice stuttered again, and he said in a trembling voice: "I discovered her accidentally today, but I didn't dare to get close... But I'm sure that it must be Nidis. , I can’t mistake that kind of smell!
"Hahahaha..." Amidst a burst of sharp and shrill laughter, the adult shouted: "This time Xiqiu came to the right place and actually found the traitor Jiedis!"
Amidst the sharp laughter, the broken pieces on the surrounding walls were shaken and fell down, and even the candlelight trembled faintly.
"Very good, very good." The figure of the adult stepped closer to the two kneeling people, and then gently pressed his hands on the heads of the two people on the ground. He whispered: "No matter what, you caused me to lose the sacred beast of forced confession. I have to punish you two for this matter..."
There was only a sound of chi, and one of his hands penetrated a person's head... Red blood and white brains splashed out, and the person fell down softly without even making a sound.
The adult took back his hand, put it to his mouth and licked it carefully. As if tasting delicious food, he squinted his eyes and smiled: "Okay, you two, kill one and keep the other! You, you reported the traces of the traitor to me, which is considered to have paid off... You go down and give me Keep staring at that woman...but don't let her find you, understand?"
"clear!"
The Lord continued in a low voice: "Now the Imperial Divine Religion seems to be investigating very strictly. Last time, that idiot Xi Mang made a big fuss in the imperial capital... That idiot will die when he dies. He actually took away the sacred objects of his clan. The Spear of Kula was lost, and even if that idiot died ten thousand times, it would not be able to offset his sin! No matter what, you have to be careful now... You are the most powerful vampire, and your smell is very light, so you are not easily fooled. Found...so you have to be careful, you know?"
"Yes!" The kneeling man nodded repeatedly.
After waving his hand and letting this guy leave, he was the only one left in the hall.
This "adult" slowly walked to a relief in the corner of the wall - it was a relief of a classical beauty, with her voluptuous figure looking slowly and moving in the subtle arcs.
"Adult" stretched out his hand and slowly touched the relief, gradually sliding from her face to the chest of the relief...
At this time, the relief actually let out a series of sharp chuckles. Then the sculpture actually moved!
The plaster on the outside cracked layer by layer, and a woman walked out from inside!
Strictly speaking, this is also a vampire!
Although her naked body looks exactly like a mature and beautiful woman, there is a pair of black wings like a bat growing on her back!
This woman's face was extremely charming, but her open mouth also showed two slender fangs in her smile.
"Lord Jashika, you are angry again... is it because of the loss of the holy beast or because of the news about that woman?" The female vampire's voice was soft and charming.
Jashika twisted a few times, held the woman in his arms, then lightly bit her neck, and whispered: "Aren't you afraid that I will suck your blood? Dear Ruth, I I told you not to mention that woman in front of me... especially you! I'm worried about the holy beast... There must be something weird about that lake...
The female vampire named Ruth smiled softly, avoided Jia Shika's mouth, and whispered: "Actually, you should be happy... That idiot Simang is dead, and you will be the only prince of the vampire... Simang Those holy beasts that have gone through so much trouble to find from the south are now under your control... "
There was some worry in Jashika's eyes: "There's nothing happy about that... Things in the southern mountainous area were considered a failure. Although a few holy beasts were found, the real dragon's lair in the valley was already empty... The magic dragon was also I don’t know where it went… “
Ruth rolled her eyes and smiled: "Never mind it, those things are what the elders worry about... Now, do you think I have tried to find a way to catch Nidis in the past two days... That is a big achievement. Where are the pieces... "
Jashika shook his head, but a pair of claws slowly slid down from Ruth's shoulders, and whispered: "Don't rush this matter, let's wait for two days... That lake is more important. After figuring it out, it is likely to be Our cultivation of holy beasts will be of great help... Alas, those old guys are urging me to go to the imperial capital and find a way to get back the 'Spear of Dracula'. That is the real headache... That old guy from the Pope, isn't it? Easy to deal with.
Ruth twisted her body and let out a series of deep laughter, and then Jashika's breathing gradually became faster...
The candlelight flickered, and the two figures on the wall gradually overlapped, and then twisted crazily...
If you use the dim candlelight, you can see that dozens of insect egg-like things are hanging densely on the ceiling of this hall, wrapped in a sticky mass, and slowly swaying when the wind blows...
In the Tulip Duke's villa, Nicole snuggled tightly into Roddy's arms, her body shivering in the evening breeze.
Roddy sighed, hugged Nicole tightly, and whispered: "Let's go in..."
Nicole nodded, thought for a while and suddenly said: "Tomorrow... tomorrow you are going to see Miao Ge, right?"
Rody was stunned, as if he did not expect that Nicole would suddenly ask such a question - these days, Rody has almost no time to see Miao Ge because he accompanies Nicole in front of the nobles every day, but today in the forest He encountered that kind of strange thing that made him a little uneasy...
It seems that Xiqiu is not a peaceful place either...
Nicole bit her lips and whispered: "You are a little worried about the safety of Miao Ge and the others because of today's incident, right? You are worried that there may be more than one monster, and there may be more than one kind in the water... right? ?”
Hearing the uneasiness in Nicole's tone, Rody just remained silent and nodded.
Nicole took a deep breath, and suddenly hugged Rody with all her strength, and then whispered in his arms: "Tomorrow, if you can... you can bring Miao Ge here... There are always people here. It’s safer.”
Roddy clearly felt that Nicole's body stiffened when she said this. His heart softened, and he couldn't help hugging Nicole tightly, and whispered: "You... really think so?"
Nicole sighed, suddenly smiled, and said, "Really."
The two hugged each other and fell into silence.
After a moment, Roddy spoke slowly, and whispered: "Today, the monster I encountered in the hunting ground today... seems to be a real kind of monster!"
Nicole frowned: "Are you sure?"
Rody sighed: "That Gardar said that the Warcraft disappeared in the Bright Continent hundreds of years ago... Actually, this statement is wrong... At least I know that there are still Warcraft in the Bright Continent, and I have seen many of them with my own eyes..."
Nicole's body seemed to be shaking a little, and she whispered: "Where?"
Rody's tone was a little weird: "The mountainous area in the southern mountains, the Death Valley that I have been to! There are many strange monsters there, all kinds of Warcraft!" He looked up at the starry sky, frowned and said to himself: " Could it be that someone entered the valley after I left and brought some magical beasts out? "
