Chapter 54: Sleeping Beauty
It was none other than Fashu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fashu had no interest in the ball, and entered the castle without even changing his clothes, but the commotion caused by his grim countenance made him frown slightly.
Alalia had already put down the blood drink, and instead picked up the special drink from the side, and walked gracefully towards Faju.
As the central figure of the ball, the vampires automatically avoid a path wherever she walks.
Zhong Lan didn't follow, but watched from afar as the elegant lady offered a drink to the handsome Blood Knight, reached out and brushed the hair on the side of her ear, then stood on tiptoe and approached Fashu's ear as if offering a kiss.
Whispered something.
Unfortunately, Fajush's statement was not what she expected.
The cold knight only shook his head silently at Arilia, and then politely saluted her, but then walked past the lady and walked to the other side without leaving the water.
From Zhong Lan's angle, you can see Alaria's face turning blue in an instant.
Even if it is enough to save face, but for Alaria, who has strong self-esteem, refusal is anger.
Arailia, who froze instantly, turned her head and glanced at Zhong Lan, who was still standing still, Zhong Lan suddenly felt bad, but the former had already hooked his finger at her, signaling her to pass.
Zhong Lan had no choice but to pass.
A knight walked, and then a tall and indifferent squire, and the eyes of the onlookers stayed here.
As the center of the onlookers, Alalia could still maintain the calmness on her face, holding her head high, as if she was the object of attention of all the blood clans on the stage, she still retained the most arrogant posture, and stretched out her palm to Zhong Lan.
"Uh-huh, dance with me!"
As if to foil her words, the hall on the first floor immediately resounded with unrestrained and lively music, and all the vampires watching retracted their gaze and danced with their dance partners.
And Zhong Lan complied with Alalia's order, put one hand around her waist, and looked at Alalia who was stepping on high heels, only then did she notice the rich costume of the painter under her eyes, especially the corner of her eye with a thin pen to outline a bewitching red flower.
"Don't get distracted with me." Ararilia's fingers brushed Zhong Lan's lips, "But I allow you to be bold enough to compliment me. Even if he is anemic, he can barely listen to the praise of the princess. ”
“……”
Accompanied the jazz lady to dance a few tunes, and Zhong Lan used her spare eyes to pay attention to how other vampires stepped on the dance steps, and learned on the spot with a calm face.
And wait until Ararilia is a little tired, and then give up.
As a knight, Arilia can go up to the second floor to rest, while Zhong Lan plays only an anemic person, even if her appearance and body shape stand out among the anemic people, she can't go up to the second floor.
For to pass through is death.
Zhong Lan glanced to the side and found that it was difficult to find Bamboo Branches among so many vampires, and even if he sent a private message, he did not get a response.
"Ding...... Congratulations to Brave Photometry for triggering the third ring of the 'Ring' quest - the second stage of the knight's secret sleeping beauty. You notice a guard sneaking out of the third floor, as if there's something important to do. Curious, you follow and find out ...... Be careful not to be discovered. ”
Sleeping Beauty?
I didn't expect that the "Ring" quest could also be further triggered in the dungeon, so going back to the past, is it a breakthrough to solve the secret of Fashu?
And the only one who can come down from the third floor is the knight or the prince, or ...... Ansaja's follow.
Zhong Lan carefully narrowed his presence, slowly approached the back door, and sure enough, he saw a guard who had just turned around the corner.
One...... Variant anemia.
Zhong Lan smiled and followed.
The mutant anemic species looked cautious, and looked back a few times along the way to make sure that no one was following before continuing on his way.
Zhong Lan turned out of the corner and continued to follow. Follow all the way to a fortress in the castle outside, and walk in through a dark room inside.
Zhong Lan hurried to follow, rushing in before the basement door closed.
The basement inside is gloomy and gloomy, but vampires don't need light to see, so it doesn't bother the mutant anemia in front of them.
And the further inside, the darker it became, and Zhong Lan had no choice but to open the net of spiritual power to capture the images around him.
Avoiding all obstacles with precision, the mutant anemia finally stayed at the door of a secret room and groped with his hands on the wall for a while before opening the door.
The sudden stabbing light from inside made Zhong Lan squint, and she had been lying dormant behind the pillar, waiting for the mutant anemic species to leave to find out.
The mutant anemia didn't stay in it for long, and with the vision of the mental power net, Zhong Lan could sense what he was doing to clean up, and finally approached the middle, knelt down and cut his wrist, and waited for a while before leaving.
The chamber was closed again, and everything was plunged into darkness again.
The mutant anemic species rushed outward, leaving Zhong Lan alone and slowly approaching inward.
When you open the secret room, the first thing you see is an ice coffin in the middle, and the ice coffin shrouded in a gentle light does not look aggressive at all.
The thing lying in the ice coffin, as stated in this quest, is a sleeping beauty.
The true Sleeping Beauty - a sleeping human girl.
The girl's cheeks were still flushed, and it looked like she was just asleep, but Zhong Lan could clearly sense that she had been dead for a long time.
And this girl lying in an ice coffin, sealed in the basement, is not a vampire offspring, she is just a human, a fragile human.
It's just that under the protection of the ice coffin, he retains his unchanged face after death.
The girl seemed to be very happy before she died, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she had dreamed of something wonderful, and even if it was cold and dark forever, it would not make her feel fear.
"Tsk, interesting."
Zhong Lan successfully completed the "Sleeping Beauty" task, and did not stay any longer, lest Alalia not find her and cause unavoidable accidents.
As the second stage of the Third Ring mission, this "Sleeping Beauty" must have an ulterior connection with Faju. I just don't know what the relationship between this human girl and Fashu is......
What is protected in this way is usually something important.
――
"Uh-huh, where's my guard?"
Alailia, who pulled up her long skirt and slowly walked down from the second floor, looked down at all the Bloods on the first floor, and suddenly found that the guard she picked up by her maverick was gone.
"Yo, little princess, you're tonight's star, why are you here alone? Do you need me as a dance partner? ”
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind her, and Alalia took the hem of her skirt and looked behind her with a smile, but the words she said indicated that the owner was not so pleasant. "Lord Lovell, don't bother with you!"
"I heard...... You danced with an anemic guard tonight? The smile widened, and Lovell unconcerned released the hormones all over his body, and a male and female face made the female vampires around him hold their breath.
- "This doesn't fit your aesthetics, little princess!" ”
