Chapter 69: The Thief's Tracks
Zhang Hao's last blow still left a hand, in the previous underground training ground Zhang Hao had already learned the basic enchantment, but unfortunately if you use a weapon, even the rune fangs of Rick Province can't enchant two magic powers at once, only the power of faith without any attributes can be very effective in communicating a variety of magic and connecting them together.
"Elska, you still have one last chance to live, tell me what kind of bug this is?!" Zhang Hao walked up to the electrocuted Erska and covered his nose and asked.
"No...... Don't ......" An extremely faint voice came from Earska's mouthparts, if it weren't for Zhang Hao's super keen perception now, he might have thought it was dead.
"Stubborn, say goodbye to the world." After speaking, Zhang Hao took out the sword in his waist and covered it with a layer of thunder power, and just as he was about to stab Elska's faΓ§ade, Earska's voice immediately became spiritual.
"Nope! Don't call me Earska! Call me Squidward! This is the great name that my master gave me, remember Squidward! Ulska's words made Zhang Hao a little petrified, this big octopus has a brain?
"Alas, this handsome young man! Have you met my master? If ......."
"Fuck your uncle!" Zhang Hao couldn't help but cut off Squidward's last tentacle with a sword: "Answer in three seconds, have you ever seen this bug?" Three! Two! β
"I've seen it! I've seen it, Master! Tomb King's Scarab!! In the end, Squidward couldn't hold on and fainted, but in the end, the news he got from his mouth shocked Zhang Hao, a race that should not appear on this continent, and vampires are the same undead, Zhang Hao wanted to ask more questions, but Ska was too angry, Zhang Hao couldn't find a cloth bag to put Squidward in it and hang it on his waist, and at the same time used the power of faith to attach the power of jade to restore his injuries.
Zhang Hao probably told the leading soldier commander about the situation and hurried to the royal docks, where a clipper bound for Tarabhaim was waiting for him. Shortly after boarding the ship, news came from Chrissy's communication crystal:
"Your Highness, Your Majesty asked me to contact you directly."
"You haven't seen her for a long time, is there any news here?" After Zhang Hao set up the communication crystal, he turned around and went to untie the cloth bag, and threw a ball of pitch-black octopus into the fish tank that asked the captain for coming.
"Our men have found traces of thieves, it should be vampire people, yes, they are fleeing in the direction of Utbad in Steele province, and my men are following closely." Chrissy finished with pride on her face.
Zhang Hao turned his back to Chriss, stared at the fish tank tightly, and kept inputting the healing faith jade power into it, "Your Excellency Chrissy, your subordinates are undoubtedly the elite of the empire, and their work efficiency is commendable, but please be safe, there is a screaming banshee who has just been bred next to the thief, and I don't know if Isabella is strong yet." β
"Screaming Banshee?! Why is there such a thing! What do we do next? Stop them in Utbad? β
"Nope! Don't, Utbad can't afford another war, force them to the border, the border east of Utbad, you go directly to Bini or Tork, they should take over the garrison stationed in the border city in two days. β
"Your Highness guessed a vampire early on?" Chrissy wondered, if Teucer and Bini set off today, no matter how fast the time was, it would not be possible to arrive in two days, "Your Highness, I have no intention of offending ....."
"I knew when I heard the news of the theft, humans don't have this kind of sneaky ability."
"Your Highness is wise!"
"Stop shooting the horses, hurry up, I'm still studying how to save this octopus."
"I wish you good luck and prosperity, Your Highness." Chrissy immediately turned off the communication crystal after speaking, and Zhang Hao's room instantly became extremely quiet.
Ding, system message:
The witch hunter sent a report that a suspicious woman had fled into a small village east of Aldolf. Although the witness had only caught a glimpse of the man's back in the bleak moonlight, he swore that the man was riding a skeletal horse that emitted an eerie green glow! The witch hunters suspect that this is an undead bringer, and given that Steele Province is located east of Rick Province, and his immediate neighbor is Silvania, the center of undead activity, we must go here to catch this guy. Requirements: Get back the lost seal, and reward +1 for each Vampire Officer killed alone.
Zhang Hao's eyes lit up after seeing the system task, now the number of these special knights is too small, and there are recruitment restrictions to form a large-scale cavalry array, Zhang Hao's trip is to re-lead the Sun Knights, Lilith has already gone to Tarabhaim with the ship of the morning support troops. Encountering such a task opportunity, Zhang Hao's heart and hunger were unbearable.
"Where am I? Yes! Master! I'm so happy to meet you!! If I had tentacles, I would have to hug you!! I don't know if Zhang Hao's continuous treatment played a role or the effect of seawater, which woke up Squidward, who had been in a coma.
"Who is your master? You're now my prisoner, I ask! You answer! If you don't answer well, you'll never have a chance to grow tentacles again! Got it? After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he directly conjured up a stick and inserted it in the big fish tank, and Squidward naturally knew that this thing could be powered at any time.
"You ask, master! I'm a good baby, I'll answer whatever you ask! "Squidward without tentacles is left with an oval body that is flattened at the bottom of the fish tank.
"How do you know this is the Tomb King's scarab?" Zhang Hao removed the beetle specimen again and pasted it on the outside of the fish tank.
"Because of the pattern on its back, Your Highness."
"Where have you seen them? I mean the Tomb King! β
"In the sea!"
"They live in the sea?"
"The Red Duke of Bretonnia, Master."
"The Red Duke? What does it have to do with him? β
"The country of Bretonni, as you know, there is a land in their territory that Bretonnia's army has never been able to attack, and that is the vampires led by the Red Duke, who were like nails in the past, waiting for the Tomb King on another continent to come and conquer this continent."
"After all these years, why is the Red Duke still there? The Tomb King hasn't appeared either? When did this happen? "Zhang Hao always thought that Bretonnia kept the Red Duke because of political reasons, but the result was that there was someone behind him! This surprised Zhang Hao.
