Chapter 16: The Devil's Cave
Jekyll's cooking skills are not very clever, and it is clear that he is very bad at using cooking utensils that are very classical Chinese.
Not to mention him, even modern Chinese may not be able to play with bamboo steamers, stoves that need to blow and all kinds of strangely shaped cooking utensils, let alone a foreigner.
The things he made were not very good, he just stuffed all the ingredients he could find into the pot to cook porridge.
Baixiang Hassan gave feedback, and Circe couldn't tell if it was poisonous from what she said...... However, she also has her own methods, and she has set up a [Hostile Technique] in the room.
If someone hostile to the Master appears in this room, they will sound their horns loudly and trigger two powerful magic circles at the same time, firing magic bullets similar to machine guns.
As long as Jekyll poisons the Master, then there is no doubt that it is a hostile reaction, and it will definitely be triggered!
Jekyll served a pot of porridge that was really hard to call porridge, and the room was quiet, and the Circe technique was not triggered, indicating that Jekyll really did not have any hostility or malice towards everyone.
Fujimaru Rika was hungry, and when she saw that she had something to eat, she seemed to be afraid that others would rob her.
The main ingredient of this porridge is white rice, then mixed with chicken torn into small pieces, eggs for unknown reasons, and then green vegetables...... Well, it looks more like soup!
"I haven't asked yet, why are you being chased by so many zombies? Generally speaking, as long as you don't get close to the vampire king, Camilla's territory, there won't be so many zombies. β
"Hmph, we're just going to wipe out that evil guy."
Vlad III snorted coldly and said angrily: "Vampires deserve to die......"
He said it harshly, as if he wasn't a vampire himself.
Speaking of which, when Vlad III came as a berserker, it was full of irreconcilable contradictions.
He was extremely disgusted with vampire legends and hated being called a vampire.
However, in battle, he is not shy about using vampire abilities, including mistization, including radiating blood stakes.
It's really hard to figure out what he thinks.
"Actually...... Do you want to eliminate Camila? You guys...... It's new, right? β
Jekyll had a bitter look on his face.
"In this peculiarity, there are several beings called ghost kings......
"Ah, we know that."
Fujimaru Rika has always been out of place with others because of her lack of knowledge, and finally has something she knows, why don't you jump out and show it off?
"So, do you still have to challenge? β¦β¦ Wait a minute? Could you be the legendary Chaldeans? β
"That's right! It's us! β
Rika Fujimaru patted her chest proudly.
"I see! O Savior! No wonder! So, be sure to rest well today, refresh your spirits, and I'll accompany you to destroy that abominable vampire tomorrow! I know a safe passage to the castle! β
"Oh!"
Fujimaru Rika agreed, but unconsciously, she yawned heavily.
When you are full, you get sleepy......
Rika Fujimaru really deserves to be ...... Forehead...... Well...... Savior? Well, it's really worthy of being a savior, it's open-minded! Highlight an open-mindedness that ordinary people can't match!
"Please rest well and recuperate!"
Jekyll hurriedly helped clean up a clean house and urged Rika Fujimaru to sleep.
Fujimaru Rika was tired for a day, and was drained of her magic power by the servants, so she was naturally sleepy, and fell asleep as soon as she dipped her pillow. Matthew guarded her with a shield on one side, and the other servants stayed in their rooms.
Until...... Night.
The sharp popping sound woke up Rika Fujimaru who was sleepy!
Thanks to the Chaldeans, she has now developed the ability to get up at the sound of the alarm, and to get up as soon as she says it, and never get out of bed.
"What's going on! Is it the enemy? β
Waiting for Fujimaru Rika was a group of expressions of "sure enough".
This was the case with Circe, Vlad III, it seems, they had known for a long time that there would be an enemy attack in the middle of the night.
Jin Shi and Matthew were both shocked, they didn't seem to expect this stubble at all, one was naΓ―ve, the other was simple, and they didn't expect that Jekyll might betray.
"I noticed it during the day. This person is too eager. β
Vlad III explained coldly.
Yes, he was too eager.
First of all, in this peculiar point of the night walk of a hundred ghosts, if you see someone being chased by zombies, will you really save people? Okay, that's one for now.
Secondly, Vlad III is so like a vampire, no, he is a vampire at all, knowing that this is Camilla's territory, and seeing a vampire, will he really not have any suspicions?
What's more, his performance was too logical, and he was very eager to let Fujimaru Rika rest here. It can only be said that he has laid some kind of trap here.
Then, in the first question.
Over here......
It is the land of demons that walk at night by a hundred ghosts, and they will respond to the call, and they must have an inseparable connection with ghosts.
Either it is an evil demon, or it is a hero who punishes adultery and eliminates evil.
Since Jekyll is not the latter...... So...... There is only one possibility -
Circe's method of discrimination is a little simpler:
There are people there who will be nice to others for no reason!
As a fallen witch, she doesn't believe in such a thing, okay!
Being nice to others for no reason must be a scam, okay?
Except for his own love for Yagi-kun, everything is fake!
Of course, in addition to this, there is an important way to discriminate......
It was Circe who studied the branches he had taken down.
The conclusion is...... This thing is not a pepper tree.
In ancient China, Sichuan pepper was considered to ward off evil spirits, but ...... There is something with a name that resembles him, but the meaning is the opposite.
Sansho, which has been believed to be a plant monster that grows deep in the mountains and forests since ancient times, rests during the day, disguises itself as an ordinary plant, and comes out to attack humans at night......
And in this room...... Now, there is only one human.
Crash!
The windows were crushed by rattans, and the green branches and leaves seemed to be pouring in with countless tentacles, attacking Fujimaru Ritsuka!
Vlad III was the first to react, and with a wave of his pale wrist, a piece of blood flew out from under his skin.
Originally, he wanted to turn the blood into a stake nail and launch it, but after thinking about it, the consumption of mana was too drastic, so he calmed down and did not launch the stake nail, but stuck the blood to the outside of his arm, turned it into a bloody knife, and accurately cut down the tree that attacked from the window.
Around this house, there are peppers everywhere, and it can be said that this is an out-and-out magic cave.
