Chapter 11: The Castle
After Zhao Xi heard the cry coming from the church, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain, and he was suddenly in a much better mood.
"Do you think that after the death of Viscount Sipha, those soldiers who were controlled will recover?"
Zhao Xi asked the second daughter, but he didn't care much about the answer to the question, he just wanted to find an excuse to chat with them.
"I don't know. Cornelia shook her head.
"Probably not. Dorothy on the side gave a direct answer.
"Viscount Sifa's method of controlling soldiers is bloodline control plus mental suggestion, if he doesn't take the initiative to dissipate, it won't dissipate with his death, unless..."
"Unless what?" Zhao Xi was also interested at this time.
"Unless I'm even better than Viscount Sipha, or find a stronger Blood Demon, but even if they are uncontrolled, they will become beasts driven by desire when they are hungry, and in some ways they are hopeless. ”
"Then you two wait a minute, I'll go to the front first. ”
After listening to Dorothy's words, Zhao Xi directly drew out his long sword and ran forward, without giving the second daughter a chance to stop him.
Dorothy was about to run up but Cornelia grabbed her arm, only to see Cornelia shake her head at her.
"Let him go, he's holding back the fire, and you're not fit to be on this scene. ”
After listening to Cornelia's words, Dorothy hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and walked slowly with Dorothy to the castle on the road.
Zhao Xi looked up at the already dilapidated castle in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face, this was the second time he had come to this castle, but unlike last time, he had come to collect debts this time.
He swaggered to the main entrance of the castle, where he saw several red-eyed soldiers standing at the main entrance like statues, and the formation was somewhat broken, as if due to the lack of manpower.
"Doesn't it even know how to fill in the auto-fill? It just does what it commands? Isn't it like a robot. ”
As Zhao Xi approached, the soldiers at the main gate also discovered his existence, and without any communication, they directly picked up their weapons and rushed directly towards Zhao Xi.
"Don't even say hello? It's rude. Zhao Xi shook his head and said with a wry smile, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Then you're welcome!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rich starlight appeared on the bright red blade.
Unlike the previous Star Sword, which was only attached to the blade, this time the starlight of the Star Sword directly covered the entire sword body of the bright red blade, and the rich starlight directly covered the blood color of the sword body.
From a distance, it really makes people think that this is just a long sword made of starlight, and the rich starlight is simply several times more than before.
This is the benefit of Zhao Xi's advancement to transcendental, although the Star Sword that he was able to use in advance before is also a skill, but because his own spiritual power is too illusory, the effect of forcibly using it is not as good as the original.
What is used now is the true appearance of the Star Sword, although the spiritual power consumed has also increased, but the power is also much stronger than the appearance.
I saw a dazzling starlight flashing, and the soldiers who rushed to the front were directly split into two by the sharp blades, and blood was splashed everywhere, and the scene was very bloody.
As if they hadn't seen this terrifying scene, the soldiers behind rushed towards Zhao Xi with their weapons in their hands on the corpses of their predecessors.
Another sword light flashed, the weapon and the head were broken in response, and the sharpness of the bright red blade after absorbing enough blood and the strength of Zhao Xi's high stats to cut off the ordinary weapon was no longer a difficult task.
After killing a few more soldiers, the killing intent in Zhao Xi's heart temporarily subsided, and he saw a mess on the ground. I couldn't help but shake my head.
"The battle in the future is really going to be Sven, and it won't be good if it scares Dorothy. ”
As for Cornelia, Zhao Xi felt that nothing in the world seemed to be able to scare her, and the clergy girl had been expressionless all the time, and she didn't know what could make her expression change.
Looking at the blood all over the ground, Zhao Xi directly activated the blood leather armor, and all the blood around him seemed to be half attracted by something, and frantically pounced on Zhao Xi.
With the supply of blood from several people, the scars on the blood leather armor were repaired in an instant, and even gave Zhao Xi a wave of feedback.
Zhao Xi felt that all the fatigue caused by the rush just now had disappeared, and even the physical strength consumed had been replenished, and the feeling of fullness in his body almost made Zhao Xi cry out comfortably.
However, what followed was the smell of blood emanating from the blood leather armor, which was much more serious, which already made Zhao Xi feel a little pungent.
"It's really comfortable, but it's better to use less, if you use it too much, I'm afraid it won't be addictive. Zhao Xi secretly warned himself in his heart.
Then he looked at the corpse on the ground that was about to turn into a dry corpse, and swallowed it directly to a corner where others could not see it, and then slowly walked into the castle.
The large hole in the castle hall that Viscount Sifa had broken had not yet been repaired, and many soldiers were still patrolling the prescribed route in an orderly manner.
There was no sound in the entire castle except for footsteps, and all the soldiers' movements were the same, even the angle of the swing of the arms and the distance covered by the footsteps were exactly the same.
The scene here was a little uncomfortable even for Zhao Xi at first glance, and goosebumps rose on his body.
And one by one, the patrolling soldiers stopped directly with Zhao Xi's intrusion, looked at Zhao Xi outside the door with their eyes, and then raised the weapons in their hands and rushed over.
.....
When Cornelia and Dorothy arrived at the castle, Zhao Xi was leaning against the gate and leisurely looking at the sky.
After seeing the two of them arrive, Zhao Xi stood up and patted the dust on his clothes, and showed a happy smile to the second daughter.
"You're so slow, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Zhao Xi waved his arm.
"Have you found a place to conduct the experiment?" Cornelia asked Zhao Xi directly.
"No, I haven't gone in yet, and I've taken care of some minor troubles ahead of time. ”
When it came to small troubles, Zhao Xi also deliberately made a gesture, looking relaxed and proud.
However, the two daughters ignored Zhao Xi's show-off, Cornelia still had a flat face, and Dorothy had a complicated face.
"Divine Arts—Scouting. The staff in Cornelia's hand waved, and a burst of light appeared on her and Zhao Xi's bodies.
"Wait!"
Just as the three of them were about to step into the castle, a voice from behind stopped them.
Zhao Xi looked back at the other end of the road and saw that Bishop Darren, who was supposed to be in the church, was coming out of breath.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhao Xi frowned and asked, although the killing intent in his heart that he vented just now had almost dissipated, but he still didn't have a good face for Bishop Darren.
"The location of the experiment and the place where the finances are stored are all secret rooms in the castle, and I am afraid that you will not find them, so I have come to show you the way. Bishop Darren said breathlessly.
"Would you be so kind?" Zhao Xi looked incredulous.
"Now that you have agreed to my request, there is no need to hide some of your belongings, and if there is anything you can see, just take it. Bishop Darren said with a wry smile.
"Then please lead the way. Cornelia got out of the way, and at the same time, the staff in her hand waved, and one after another divine spells blessed her and Zhao Xi.
"Actually, don't be so careful, I'm just an ordinary person. ”
Bishop Darren shook his head with a wry smile and slowly walked into the castle, leading the way for the three of them.
As soon as he stepped into the castle, he smelled a strong smell of blood, but there was not a single corpse in the square, but the smell of blood alone could deduce that many people had died here not long ago.
Disposing of the corpse took Zhao Xi a lot of effort, and in order to scare Dorothy with too much blood, he deliberately led all the soldiers to a utility room.
Fortunately, those soldiers didn't have any brains, so they could only rush forward stupidly, which reduced the pressure of Zhao Xi's battle, not to mention, and made it a lot easier for Zhao Xi to clean up his body.
Dorothy herself is a vampire and is extremely sensitive to blood, and you can roughly calculate how many people have died here by smelling the intensity of the smell of blood.
Even if she had some mental preparation in advance, the number in her mind still startled her, and her face turned a little pale.
The group then walked to a nondescript room in the castle, where a secret door appeared in the wall of the room under the manipulation of Bishop Darren.
As soon as the secret door opened, a smell of decay came to his face, which was trivial for Zhao Xi, no matter how smelly he was, he could smell it, and this was where it was.
But for Dorothy and Cornelia, the smell was a little irritating, and the two girls almost didn't vomit out of the smell, and Dorothy was the worst, and she was already leaning against the wall and retching.
"It's okay, or Bishop Darren and I will go down and you two stay outside. Zhao Xi looked at the pale face of the second daughter and asked with a concerned expression.
Cornelia waved her hand to indicate that she was out of the way, while Dorothy was about to open her mouth to speak and began to retch again.
I saw that after the priest girl's face looked a little better, she set a magic spell for herself, and then the whole person's face looked much better, and she looked at Dorothy apologetically.
Dorothy knew that she couldn't accept the magic, so she waved her hand and let the three of them go in first.
Zhao Xi and the others did not force her, and followed Bishop Darren into this secret room.
I saw that most of the black walls of the secret room had turned dark brown, and the faint smell came from the dark brown wall, and there was a huge stone platform in the secret room, on which were placed bottles and jars.
There are countless scratches on the surface of the stone platform, and even one scratch is several centimeters deep, and behind the stone platform are several huge iron cages, judging from the blood stains on the iron cages, the experience of the former occupants here will not be very pleasant, and they should even be tortured.
