Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sophie the Goblin
"It's so serious..."
Zero followed closely behind Liao Qi.
When the two of them narrowed the distance and really stood next to the broken hole, the maid next to Liao Qi couldn't help but tighten the expression on her face even more.
This is a dormitory room located on the first floor of the castle, where people live on weekdays.
But at this moment, it has long been unrecognizable.
The huge boulder seemed to have been blown high into the air by a storm, and then smashed down again.
If it had been smashed into the outer wall of the castle, the situation would not have been as bad as it is now.
Judging from the scene, Liao Qi could almost guess that the boulder should have shot in from the most vulnerable exterior window.
All of a sudden, the walls around the window collapsed like dominoes, and finally formed such a terrifying hole.
Of course, if you want to say that it is just the damage to the castle building, it is not enough to make Zero so worried.
"Does Erin know about this?"
Liao Qi saw the maid's two hands in front of her skirt, which were already clenched tightly at this time.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Many of the rubble bricks and tiles that had fallen to the ground were dyed a little dark red, and many severed limbs and stump arms could be faintly seen between the cracks in the stones.
I'm afraid that the whole dormitory last night didn't escape the catastrophe.
"I don't know, the eldest lady didn't tell me, but..."
"Since the eldest lady went out today, she definitely won't, and she won't be able to find out the situation here."
The look on the maid's face darkened a little when she said this.
Her eyes drooped and she lowered her head slightly.
The further back it went, the quieter it became, until at last there was no sound at all.
"Well, is that like this..."Liao Qi took all these small movements of Zero in his eyes.
After a little thought, he quickly understood why.
Judging from the situation on the spot, the vast majority of the subordinates were called in and used as coolies to fill the holes in the walls.
At first glance it may not seem like much...
But don't forget, in addition to the big holes that have been smashed by the boulders, there are still quite a few of them, who are seriously injured, and even have a breath, but are piled up with a large amount of rubble and the servants of the castle below.
However, it is obvious that compared to the lives of these servants, the head of the blood clan obviously pays more attention to the repair progress of his own ancient castle.
After all, no one knows whether the minions who are crushed under the ruins of the walls are still dead or alive.
There are two choices in front of them, rescue first or repair first, and this group of vampires seems to have chosen the latter.
Erin must have known about it.
But right now, in front of Liao Qi and Zero, the scene is still like this.
This means...
Even if this order was not given by the girl herself, there is no doubt that Erin must have acquiesced and had no idea of changing the plan.
Zero is apparently aware of this as well,
Although her identity is slightly special, she serves as the personal maid of the eldest lady of the blood clan.
But after all, Zero is still a member of the Castle's minions, which may also explain why Zero made such a micro-expression.
But then...
The maid suddenly raised her head again, and on that cold and pretty face, there was a rare expression of surprise, or Liao Qi's next sentence.
"In that case..."
"Then let's help!"
Liao Qi turned his head and said to Zero with a smile.
The maid opened her mouth, about to say something, but quickly swallowed it back.
Her tone was still very flat, but among them, maybe she didn't even notice it herself, it was rare, and there was a bit of emotional tone in it.
Zero shook his head at Liao Qi and said:
"Lord Liao Qi, I don't recommend you to do this, because if you help here, it will be a waste of your time, and if the eldest lady knows, she will definitely be very dissatisfied..."
"Well, I'm going to help with the earthen pots and the like first."
Liao Qi directly ignored the advice from Zero.
Then, before the maid could react, he had already set off and walked towards the many jars and wooden boxes that had been piled up next to the construction site.
Just when Zero was still stunned and a little overwhelmed...
As if remembering something again, Liao Qi suddenly turned around and shouted:
"That's right! If you want to come along, it's okay, but I advise you to go somewhere else to help. ”
"After all, if something little pops out of the can again..."
"I can't protect you so quickly!"
Laughing and waving his hand, after Liao Qi finished speaking, he turned his body back, leaving only Zero Yi's back.
Without Liao Qi beside her, the maid immediately looked a little lonely.
She just stood still.
However, in Zero's eyes, it was the reflection of Liao Qi, who had walked not far away and began to fiddle back and forth among the many bottles and cans.
"Protect... Me? ”
"This family of the eldest lady, well... Odd. ”
There was a small fluctuation on the face of the face that had not changed for eternity, but it was fleeting.
After hesitating again and again, he still chose to listen to Liao Qi's words, gave up staying by the other party's side, and turned around and walked briskly towards the abandoned castle where the walls of the ancient castle had collapsed.
Hopefully...
Let's rescue a few more...
And be sure to hold on...
After all...
This is Lord Liao Qi, bringing you another chance to live...
Real men never look back, and so does Liao Qi.
After saying that to Zero, he completely stopped caring about the other party, and he didn't care much about what the maid would choose to do in the end.
At this moment, Liao Qi has long lost this idle time.
When he actually came to the place where so many wooden boxes, barrels, and clay cans were piled up...
Liao Qi was immediately blinded by the desire to "pick up garbage" that came from deep in the soul, hit the soul, and rushed out.
It's a disease.
It's still the kind that can't be cured!
[5 "Bronze Coins" have been obtained]
【"Worn-out Doll" obtained】
[Obtained "Low-Rank Mental Recovery Elixir]
【Obtained "Moldy Rotten Eggs"】
["Rag strips" have been obtained.】
[Obtained "Skill Book - Lock Picking]
it!
Walking back and forth between these bottles and cans, from time to time there were a few excited screams from the bottom of my heart.
From the eyes of outsiders, Liao Qi looks as if he is wondering where to start.
But in reality, he was frantically exploring what was inside, whether it was hidden in a can or a wooden box.
This kind of item belongs to, unique to the game, and does not exist in this world, otherwise, how can there be so many, idle people who are sore in the egg, and specially stuff items into this kind of place.
So, unless there is a player system like Liao Qi, you can't see these at all.
But of course, once they are obtained by Liao Qi, they will naturally be "embodied" and become real objects from virtuality.
And this is also Liao Qi's biggest worry at the moment.
With the constant sound of prompts in his mind, Liao Qi was both happy and painful in his heart.
No way...
In addition to the fact that "currency" can be automatically summarized into the [Assets] column of the panel value, and a life skill book [Lockpicking] that was opened by great luck, he doesn't need to worry about it...
The rest of the things, especially the bottle of "low-level spiritual recovery potion", he didn't have "backpack space", so he could only choose to sneak it and hide it in the pocket of his coat.
Fortunately, it's just a "low-level" bottle, but in the future...
No way!
You still have to get your hands on the [backpack] first!
Liao Qi, who tasted the sweetness, also had a rising desire for [backpack], just as he was still wondering where to start and start looking...
"You're the one, the human family summoned by Miss Erin at last night's banquet, right?"
"I've heard of you!"
A beautiful voice with a light spirit and a little charm sounded from behind Liao Qi.
When he turned his head and saw the comer, he couldn't help but immediately pack it up, still in an excited heart.
Secretly cautious, Liao Qi pretended to ask:
"You are..."
"It's a pleasure to meet you here, and to get to know me, my name is Sophie, and I am a demon belonging to the "Academy". ”
Standing in front of Liao Qi, the woman in the brown cloak paused when she said this.
"If you just wanted to ask me about my race..."
After that, in front of Liao Qi, she took off the hood on her head.
The woman showed her full face, obviously innocent, but always gave people a charming feeling.
The pointed ears on both sides moved mischievously.
This demon called "Sophier" smiled and said softly to Liao Qi:
"I am..."
"Fairy Oh~"
