Divinity Chapter 12: Night Hunting, The Earl's Death (Part II)
Chapter 12: Night Hunting, The Earl's Death (Part II)
"Divine art restored?" After a brief repair, Dream Weaver was ready to go.
"It's restored. How much of your medicine still has the effect?" Su Mu also woke up.
"It's almost gone, but it doesn't matter, we just need to hold on for half an hour. Weaving Dream shrugged indifferently, calmly at the exhaustion of the drug's effects.
"It always feels like you've set up a flag. Su Mu was vain and forcibly complained about it.
"Eh, it's not elegant enough to force a complaint. Then he was ruthlessly pointed out by Weaving Dreams.
"Cut, don't talk nonsense, walk around the secret passage first, and then go up. Su Mu began to command.
"Okay. Eh, haven't I always been in command, although I also have the intention of exploring secret passages. ”
Weaving Dream was amazed, and looked at Su Mu with the eyes of an alien - although there was no problem in saying so.
Su Mu accepted this vision very easily, and cocked his tail high:
"Hey, I'm not stupid, it's more than enough to have a little policy and a little strategy once in a while. ”
"Moreover, I can't let you snatch all the glory of the protagonist! I want the protagonist's halo too!"
Su Mu showed a subtle expression, how to say it, it was like a situation like a rival in love, but the embarrassing thing was that the rival in love was also someone he liked very much......
“...... Put away your face, I look disgusting...... I'll leave it to you in command. "Weaving Dreams is obviously disgusted, and the devil's privileges are not all good things......
"OK, let's go!" Su Mu immediately changed into a captain-like calm and enthusiastic expression, and the speed of changing his face was beyond imagination.
"That's the direction we came from, there's nothing left to explore......" Weaving Dream carried Su Mu's back collar expressionlessly, leading him to the main road.
"It's unknown here. ”
"One more thing, what kind of way do you want to be crispy, come for me. ”
"Well, sure enough, on the sea, a good navigator can help the captain solve a lot of things, which is probably the bond of friendship. ”
The hot-blooded and emotional old captain's face, against the backdrop of his body movements, always looks a little weird.
"This is not the sea, and I am not a navigator. Also, anyone who knows the way knows how to get there. ”
Weaving Dream felt that it was a very silly thing for him to give up command...... But there's no way he's going to admit it!
"Okay, then Nautilus Maru (a ship of 20,000 miles under the sea), set off again!" Su Mu ...... Su Mu obviously didn't realize this kind of thing, and he walked into a strange door inexplicably......
"If it weren't for the reward, how could I possibly add him as a gaming friend...... It's decided, next time it must be a single row!"
Weaving Dream walked ahead to explore the way, and he couldn't see his dissatisfaction with the captain and the appearance of preparing to get off the ship.
......
Ten minutes passed......
"It turned out that there were no treasure chests or anything like that, just some traps, and you cracked them all...... Are you a wanderer?
(Unscientific little science: Wanderer, another name for a thief and other professions, not good at fighting, specializing in stealing locks and unlocking traps, and a necessary teammate for dungeons, unless you have a mage teammate who has a lot of magic items that disarm traps and detect roads.) )”
Su Mu complained a little, this was for the resentment of not fighting and not gaining.
Dream Weaver is very happy, he has learned a lot of new tricks, magic patterns and other things, which has made him gain a lot.
The unactivated Demon Bat Lair and Gargoyle were all put away by him when he lifted the trigger mechanism, and he was not tired enough anyway.
"This is what you need to do to explore a dungeon, and it's not a dungeon, it's just a secret passage. There's a better chance of something good inside the castle than here, right?"
"Then what are you waiting for, find a secret door nearby, let's go kill the vampire servants!" Su Mu quickly walked out of his frustration, full of energy and ready to plunder.
......
While the two were exploring underground, a lot of things happened on the bright side.
......
"How...... Possible...... You ......" was the mournful cry of the knight captain of the castle before he died, and his eyes were wide in disbelief.
"I'm a descendant of Mr. Earl, so how could I help you rebel. "This is the vice-captain's announcement.
"No, I, you, let's die together!" the desperate knight captain sent out a final counterattack, but was dodged by the vice-captain with a fog.
"It's just a human being, and you still want to do this thing of killing the servants of the master? ”
The vice-captain comfortably wiped the blood stains on his hands, and suddenly, his face became ugly.
"Yes, Lord. ”
......
The nobles were still not aware of the uneasy situation, and were just thinking about their own inheritance and interests.
Understandably, not every nobleman is smart.
......
Outside the castle, the Knights are riding their horses, vowing to arrive as soon as possible to assist the Night Hunting Master in killing the vampires!
......
Mercenaries.
The night knife is very annoying, his own brother died inexplicably, and the current situation found out is actually the hand of a horseman? How is this possible? If others don't know him, he can't know it, isn't that a grassroots assassin in the organization! How can he attack his superiors!
In addition, do you want to assassinate Count William according to the original plan?
Anyway, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, if you don't try to go back, you will die, if you escape, you will be caught, and you will die even worse, at least you have to try it, so that when you ask, you can also say confidently: I tried to assassinate but failed, the reason is that my teammates are too rookie.
......
And Captain Oak is also troubled.
The deputy captain of his own family was killed, and the suspected killer was the groom of the Earl's castle.
His own number one double-flower red stick was poisoned, and the problem has not yet been identified.
The younger brother of his vice-captain disappeared inexplicably, and he didn't know where he had gone.
There was only himself and another strong man left in the whole team, what was the situation?
The Count wants to mess with us? It doesn't make sense, we didn't provoke the Earl......
It's not right, I'm also the boss of the strongest mercenary group in the Northland, and I'm also a person with a head and a face on the road, how can I have a killer who doesn't know the forces and just come to kill without saying a word? Isn't it better to recruit your own subordinates?
It's sad, my hair is going to fall out!
Suddenly......
......
"Uh, what is this layer of mist?" As soon as Su Mu and Xingzhimeng came out, they found that the entire ancient castle was wrapped in a layer of mist.
"Well, it's foggy this winter...... It's not scientific...... Hmm, is it an ordinary mist summoned by magic?" Weaving Dream began to analyze the situation after being confused.
"Eh, there's one more thing! There's an energy body traveling through the mist!' Coming here!" Suddenly, something strange appeared in the devil's vision of Dream Weaver!
"Compare the eagle, use the clear mist!"
After Su Mu shouted out this kind of middle two declaration with a passionate face, he silently used the mist magic technique himself......
"Oh, look what we've found?, an atomized vampire?" Weaving Dreams welcomed the vampire in a tone of surprise.
"You know, vampires are high-energy ingredients, and a single vampire can provide three days of consumption for the extraordinary! Their fangs and claws have the power of curse, which is very suitable for crafting extraordinary equipment with bloodsucking and curse attributes, and their blood is very popular with nobles, mages, and their kindred!"
Su Mu took over the conversation with a sharp heart.
"We have to be careful when we catch it, a vampire is very vicious, it will hold your body and suck your blood, believe me after being sucked your dried corpse will never find a drop of blood, business ability is reassuring!
Weaving Dream smiled and raised her sword.
"One thing to note: the vampire's material needs to be blacked out, otherwise you'll end up with a pile of ashes. Su Mu stretched out his palm.
"One more thing: vampires are not related to rats, nor are rat people......! Check out the book "The Father-Son Relationship Between the Vampire Ancestors and the Demon Bats"!
Weaving Dream put away the long sword, the blade was still shining with silver, and it seemed that the sword oil was still very durable.
"Because this vampire has been purified, may the Lord take his filthy soul in!"
Su Mu also withdrew his palm that still had the divine grace remaining.
"Of course, if the Lord doesn't take in the poor vampire Lori, he can send them to hell, and I'm willing to adopt them, it must be good jade demon material!"
Weaving Dream was a little dissatisfied, "It's too fast! we haven't finished chatting on the battlefield yet!"
"That's it, the vampire girl can also come to me! Don't be tricked by that devil to be the Jade Demon Lady!" Su Mu agreed, but he didn't know what he was approving of.
"Look at it like this, William IV is also going to open up, this is the rhythm of killing everyone. ”
Weaving Dream pinched his smooth chin and thought, "It's not right, it would be better to transform into a descendant." ”
"One more thing: where are William IV and the reinforcements?" Su Mu nodded, angrily grabbing the lines.
"......" Weaving Dreams, who silently made a note in the small notebook, continued: "We will go separately, you go to find someone, and I will go to meet the reinforcements." ”
"Eh, don't, I don't have your eyes!" Su Mu seemed to be surprised by Weaving Dream's "stupid move".
"Hehe, you don't have mine, but you have your own! And the divine power works wonders for half-dark, half-undead, half-cursed creatures like vampires, right? ”
Weaving dreams shattered Su Mu's lazy preparation with a smile, "I'll leave a mark for you so that you can absorb the soul." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and dipped some vampire blood into it, leaving a strange emblem on the left side of Su Mu's face.
"One more thing! if there's a problem, purify the emblem, and I can make out the last location. Weaving Dream made a final declaration, "Now, go, Bidiao!"
"Hey, okay, I'll go!" Su Mu could only accept.
......
"Ah, it's finally here. "Waiting at the gate of the ancient castle is very boring, Su Mu did not encounter any danger there, wisps of soul power were passed along the emblem, and he himself quickly refined it and turned it into his own power.
The reinforcements were a little late, probably because of the wind and snow.
Seeing Weaving Dreams guarding the door, one of the knights in the team quickly accelerated.
"Are you alright?Are you hurt?Is the Count dead??' What's going on here?"
Weaving Dream looked at the questioner: a tall and beautiful woman here, with two long swords behind her back, the most striking thing being the scar on the left side of her face and the red hair on her head.
"Ah, I don't know who you are, but I'll tell you about the situation first. ”
Weaving Dream sorted out his thoughts a little: "I followed the instructions, faked my death and escaped, found the secret passage, and killed Count Xavier with a priest, and I can be sure of death." ”
"Then we explored the secret passages again, and when we came out, the whole castle was covered in mist, and there were atomized vampires passing through the mist, and I asked the priest to find someone to open the door for you here. That's it, if you want to kill the vampires, you'd better deal with the fog first. ”
"Wait, priest? When did the priest start hunting vampires? Although they did locate vampires as evil creatures, they never did it. ”
The woman's dissatisfaction with the priest could be seen as she spoke, "By the way, although you don't remember me now, Master Angelel will remove the effect of the memory shield after the incident is over." Also, I am Sheena, your disciple and adopted daughter, and Master Angeliel is a kind wizard and a friend of you and me. You are Regerak Van Helsing, the Night Hunter and the Night Hunter. ”
The red-haired woman, that is, Sheena, spoke quickly and loudly.
"Oh, by the way, congratulations on your successful hunt, and in a moment Master Angeliel will be able to seal this vampire once and for all. ”
"There is no need to seal, he has turned to ashes, inactive, I can be sure. Dream Weaver responded, but remained more silent.
"Anyway, it's not a bad thing for me to go and see. ”
An old man, but he looks very young, and the reason why he is regarded as an old man by Weaving Dream is because of the unstoppable sense of vicissitudes in his body.
"Whatever you want, now you better think about Qingwu first. I don't care, but these knights can't. ”
"Well, the water vapor gathered by witchcraft has turned into a thick fog, I need to prepare for it, so that no one disturbs me. "Angeliel, the wizard, is still very reliable.
"By the way, Angeliel, can you give me a book of witchcraft notes or something, I want to learn witchcraft, and alchemy. Weaving Dream said suddenly.
"Well, wait, you're going to learn witchcraft? don't you hate witchcraft the most because you can't understand it? and you know alchemy, but you can't remember it now. Sheena looked surprised and a little curious, the teacher who had lost her memory......
“...... I insist. "Dream Weaver doesn't explain anything.
"Well, maybe forgetting his memories will make him interested in witchcraft and even learn a little. It's never a bad thing to know how to order more. ”
Angeliel didn't object, and it was clear that he was the type to learn and teach.
It's good, I harvested notes on witchcraft and alchemy, and I went back and memorized it and studied it.
Weaving dreams means that they are very happy, and they can get in touch with a new system of abilities.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the emblem was erased.
"Location...... Got it. I'm going to hunt William IV, so be here first. ”
After saying that, Xingweaving Dream ignored the attitude of the others and walked straight into the mist, and soon disappeared.
"......" Sheena opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything yet.
"Before he first got the memory shield, he would have become such a man of action...... Although he used to have a high level of mobility. Angeliel noticed this, and sighed busily.
"Phew, let's hope he succeeds......"
Sheena was tempted to chase after her, but she knew she wasn't good enough to face a powerful vampire in the fog, so she had to stay where she was, and secretly decided to train her blind fighting skills.
......
When Weaving Dream arrived, the battle situation was a bit stalemate: William IV kept flying all the time, just undecided to let Su Mu lock; Su Mu was lit up with a faint protective cover, safe, but there was nothing he could do - there was no all-round attack magic in the first ring, and the target must be roughly locked. And his own energy is not enough to squander his own guess of the direction to attack, so he can only wait for support - of course, even if he doesn't have support, he won't die, after all, his mental power is "replenished" quickly.
Weaving Dreams, who had just arrived on the battlefield, that is, the hall, was unsurprisingly discovered, but neither changed:
William IV was very comfortable with himself, and he didn't pay much attention to others - except for wizards and hunters - because there was no hint - after all, at that time, Dream Weaver said a word about the Divine Spear and the Three-Ring Divine Technique, which was heard by Xavier - William IV did not think about divine power.
As for the young man who ran through the door - the Night Hunter would undergo a second transformation around the age of 20 (the first time was around 6 to 8 years old) to maintain his appearance, but he would still die of old age - although there were almost no old dead hunters - he would not even carry two long swords and come in, he was certainly not a hunter, William IV vaguely remembered that this seemed to be a mercenary, and he only knew the captain and deputy captain of the useless group of mercenaries he hired.
And Su Mu was in a passive state, and it was not easy to make a move.
The battle begins!
Setting: Open lobby.
Battled on both sides: Devil's Star Dream and Priest Su Mu, and William IV, Vampire Viscount.
"Well, vampires still have some strength, right?" Weaving Dream greeted easily.
"Cut, it's just a little mouse who is afraid that my magic has been running away in embarrassment, and it's still very easy. Su Mu still pretended to be [noun] with a hard mouth.
The surprise in William IV's heart flashed, but he didn't pay much attention to it, wizards would always give their magic a name that was not worthy of the name, and it was not comparable to the talent of vampires.
Weaving Dream didn't care, and arranged tactics by himself: "I'm responsible for interception, you just have to cast spells." ”
"Okay, see if I can't blow you up!" Su Mu quickly responded.
Hmph, just because you, a mercenary, still want to stop me? I'm much better than you even if I'm not as good as the official earl!
As soon as the idea fell, William IV decided on tactics:
First use the Dark Walk to cover the vision, then the blessing of the night to bless yourself, and then use the Weak Touch with the claws to kill the mercenaries in seconds, and when the mercenaries scream, I will use the negative energy wave to break the shield, and then the Shadow Claws!
This is the normal fighting mind of a vampire, and of course it is also possible that he does not have a big move......
In addition, this is a shadow vampire who is good at negative energy, and Xavier is a pure blood line.
Although William IV is not as strong as Xavier in theory, he has more combat experience - after all, Xavier is not a big brother...... It has become a puddle of blood for many years, and I have long forgotten about the battle or something, and there is not much blood, so I can only kill it quickly, so as not to kill it with small skills, but the blue is not big enough.
Moreover, both the shadow and dark ones use bloodline energy to cast spells, rather than directly using blood.
Darkness Technique!Blessing of the Night!Hehe, you who are shrouded in darkness, will be killed by me in fear!
"When!" But see, the little mercenary who was not taken to heart by William easily blocked the claws with a long sword that shone with silver light, and the layer of negative energy was blocked by the skin.
At the same time, the little mercenary mutated and turned into a monster in the blink of an eye - William immediately thought of the mythical description: the devil!
"How is that possible! Are you the devil?" said William IV.
"That's right, goodbye!"
Dream Weaver used the Frozen Hand to slow down William IV's movements four times, and he quickly withdrew from the area.
At the same time, Su Mu judged the location of the vampire based on the sound of the collision and his own "eyes", and directly and quickly cast the spell.
"Holy Bondage!Holy Strike!Dispel Evil!Dispel Darkness!Purification!"
"It's ...... Radiance of Heaven...... My Lord, are you finally willing to look at your lost believers......"
In the face of the brilliance of the divine art, William felt that he was gradually burning out, but he showed a smile of salvation, perhaps, from the fact that he had built a church in the vampire's castle, he had been praying for the Lord's attention, right?
The battle is over.
......
Deceased: William IV
Death: "get" "redemption", turn to ashes
Cause of Death: Kill list, boss
Murderer: Chaos Priest Su Mu
Epitaph: Lord, you have finally set your eyes on your lost believer.
Tombstone front...... No words.
But on the back it reads: End of this chapter. Collect!
