With the sound of falling stones, the last gargoylee turned into rubble, and Sawyer and Serana looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief.
"Undead, gargoyles, vampires, there won't be sleeping high-level bloods behind them, right?"
Sawyer asked with his backhand back in his sword scabbard, wiping his sweat.
"It should ...... No way? ”
Serana hesitated, her tone full of uncertainty.
A few hours ago, the two of them entered the abandoned part of the castle along the secret passage that Serana said, which can be regarded as getting rid of the danger of being discovered by Hakong, after all, this castle has been completely transformed, and the materials of the walls and doors have the ability to isolate perception, even with Hakong's strength, if it is separated by a door, they can only vaguely perceive whether there is anyone behind the door, and now the two of them have walked in the secret passage for so long, let alone Hakong, Even if Seruas came, he couldn't sense the presence of the two in a short period of time.
However, it is only limited to the isolation of perception, if Serana breaks out with all her strength, the battle fluctuations of the legendary powerhouse will definitely alarm Hakong on the other side of the castle.
However, after entering the abandoned part of the castle, the situation began to get weird, when Serana said in the secret passage, the enemies of the two were just monsters such as spiders and snow rats, but after entering the scope of the castle, they encountered a large number of skeletons, gargoyles whose strength was comparable to that of a half-step legend, and even encountered a few vampires who fell into a deep sleep!
Skeletons are just that, after the two of them can use most of their strength, they are just cannon fodder to kill as much as they want, but those powerful gargoyles have given the two of them a headache, each of these gargoyles has been transformed, not only the strength far exceeds the mass-produced gargoyles, but also each has unique skills, if it is two or three at a time, Serana can still be crushed with strength, if it meets more than three gargoyles, then Sawyer needs to "desperately".
For example, just now, when he encountered a full five gargoyles in a room, Sawyer had to "die" three times to drag two of them, which gave Serana a chance to kill the remaining three gargoyles and turn the situation around.
However, although these gargoyles fought hard, they were all within Sawyer's expectations, although the castle here was taken by Feige, but it also belonged to the territory of vampires, and it was reasonable to have some measures to prevent small nightbreaks, but the most unexpected thing for Sawyer was that he found three sleeping vampires in a secret room!
And the most important thing is that looking at the coffins used by some vampires to sleep, these three sleeping vampires are three vampire counts!
In the blood clan, the vampires under the legend are divided into ordinary vampires, high vampires, vampire barons and vampire counts, which are equivalent to awakenings, second awakenings, third awakenings and half-step legendary human powerhouses, of course, when vampires call themselves, they all replace the word vampire with blood clan.
After being promoted to the legend, the legendary blood clan is divided into vampire dukes, vampire marquis and vampire counts according to their strength, in addition, there are some high viscounts who have just completed their promotion, among which the strength of the high viscount is almost the same as the human legend who has just been promoted, even if it is a sword idiot Hante, he can fight two at a time.
And the vampire count is equivalent to the old legendary powerhouse in the human race, and the blood energy aura has reached the realm of harmony and endless circulation, if it is converted to the system level, it is about between level 56 and 65, this kind of strength of the blood clan, even if it is Hunter, can only barely maintain undefeated, even if it is Serana, it is at most an undefeated and undefeated tie situation.
After all, the current Serana is still too "weak", of course, this weakness is only compared to the eldest lady in her heyday, for Sawyer, Serana, who is now level 52, can still beat him ten by one.
Not to mention the stronger vampire marquis and vampire duke, the senior powerhouse and peak powerhouse in this kind of legend, if they meet in the wild, Sawyer and Serana will definitely run as far as they can.
However, in the environment of the abandoned castle, Sawyer and Serana did not even have a chance to escape, even if they escaped the three strong men for a while, but the power of the three legendary vampires when they fought with all their strength was not something that could be isolated by the wall of isolation and perception, and in desperation, Sawyer and Serana could only take advantage of the fact that the three vampires were still in a state of being awake and killed them with all their might.
However, although the two of them killed the three vampire nobles as they wished, the fluctuations when Serana attacked with all her strength still alarmed a patrol team in the castle, and if it weren't for the rapid transfer of Sawa and Serana, and the taking away of the bodies of the three vampires by the way, maybe Hakong and other vampire high-ranking people would have been alarmed by now.
After a moment's rest, Sawyer and Serana moved again, and if Serana's memory was correct, they were now very close to the garden that Serana's mother once tended.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, Sawyer and Serana found a small courtyard overgrown with weeds, and after making sure that there were no other strong subordinates in the courtyard, Sawa and the others walked out of the room with peace of mind and came to this desolate courtyard.
Thousands of years unattended, the small courtyard has long been dilapidated, the stone carvings, guardrails have all turned into rubble, and the garden is also overgrown with weeds.
Looking at the desolate appearance of the small courtyard, Serana's mood suddenly lowered: "This used to be my mother's favorite garden, and she hired a master gardener to take care of it for hundreds of years, if you let my mother see the current appearance of the small courtyard, it will be very sad." ”
"Not necessarily, maybe it's your mother's arrangement."
Sawa patted Serana on the shoulder and comforted softly, but his eyes scanned the small courtyard, and his spiritual power also exploded in full force, enveloping the entire small courtyard, and searched carefully.
On the other hand, after Sawyer's comfort, Serana's mood also improved a lot, and the eldest lady did not disturb Sawyer's search for work, but walked slowly in the small courtyard, just as she had been when she was a carefree girl thousands of years ago.
However, looking at the desolate scenery in the small courtyard, as well as the ruined moondial in the center of the small courtyard, the nostalgia in Serana's heart slowly turned into loss, and her steps became slower and slower, until Sawyer's voice came from her ears: "Found it!" ”
"What was found?"
Serana was stunned for a moment, and saw Sawyer walk into a garden, dig through the weeds of the garden for a while, and dig out a carved plate of a moondial from the soil.
"What is this?"
"The mutilated moondial, the hidden carving, in fact, your mother is very cautious."
Sawa smiled slightly, although she was not sure if the truth of the matter was the case, but it was undeniable that after listening to Sawyer's explanation, Serana's expression was obviously a lot more excited, and after turning around the moondial, she pointed to a missing stone plate: "Put it here!" ”
With Serana's help, the remaining pieces of the moondial were quickly found, and as the last one was put back in place, the moondial slowly turned, and the stone slowly descended, revealing a downward stone spiral staircase.
"Let's go, it's time to 'go home.'"
Sawyer smiled and made an inviting gesture to Serana.
Serana smiled and rolled her eyes: "Where is this, when you go home, you will be poor." ”
As the two of them entered the castle chamber along the spiral staircase, the moondial turned in reverse again, and after a slight frictional sound, the courtyard returned to its original desolate appearance, as if no one had ever been here.
Walking along the spiral staircase, Sawyer and Serana entered a long and dark corridor, especially after the moondial turned in reverse and the spiral ladder was closed again, the corridor became even darker, Sawa comforted Serana while casting a lumen spell, although there were almost no spell fluctuations, but the light was also weak and pitiful, but it was enough for Sawyer and the two.
However, after entering Serana's mother's secret base, Sawyer was not as easy as he appeared on the surface, and he had already walked very hard in the castle part before, and he was in the castle secret room......
Sawa silently took out a soul stone, and the mana in his body was also mobilized, thinking about it, with his current strength, he should be able to withstand the backlash of the rules, right?
At the end of the corridor was connected to a hall, and by the light of lumens, Sawyer vaguely saw the scene in the hall, a long table was placed in the center of the hall, and on both sides of the long table, there were more than a dozen figures sitting with their hands down, and the strong aura of death on their bodies indicated their identity: high undead!
"At least a silver-level undead, and it shouldn't have come from the Soul Stone Tomb."
Serana sensed a little and became vigilant, although the silver-level undead were nothing to her, but if she faced more than a dozen silver-level undead at the same time, she could only be sure to defeat if she burst out with all her strength, and the price of the all-out explosion was to attract Hakong's attention, and under the dilemma, both of them stopped.
However, just when the two of them hesitated, an invisible fluctuation suddenly appeared, and before the two of them could react, it had already swept over the bodies of the two, and in an instant, all the wall lamps, chandeliers and even the candles on the long table in the entire hall were automatically lit, and for a while, the entire hall was brightly lit.
At this time, the figures who were sitting with their hands down also stood up and turned to the direction of the road.
"Do you fight, or run away?"
Sawyer was a little hesitant, if he fought at this time, everything he had done before would be wasted, and Serana would also fall into the hands of Hakong and become Hakong's tool to end the "tyranny of the sun", and the vampire crisis would also envelop the whole world.
However, Sawyer has rules, and there is a top boss like Serua standing behind him, no matter how angry Hakong is, he won't, and he doesn't dare to embarrass him too much, at most, he will beat him half to death, and then ask Serua for some compensation, and the only one who is in danger is Serana, so Sawa can't make a decision for Serana.
"This ......"
Serana hesitated, and was about to make up her mind to fight to the death, but the undead moved, only to see those silver skeletons bending down one after another, actually bowing in the direction of the corridor, and making a hoarse and empty voice neatly: "Welcome home!" ”
Sawyer and Serana were stunned for a moment, this reaction seemed to be different from the script.
Just when the two of them were stunned, a zombie dressed in classical butler costume and with silver runes on his hands came out and bowed to Serana again: "Let the eldest lady be frightened, I am Lady Valerica's butler, as for this god ......"
The zombie butler turned his gaze to Sawyer, especially staying on the soul stone in Sawyer's hand for a few seconds, although there was no look in his dry eyes, it was obviously not a kind gaze.
Serana hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Sawyer behind her, "This is my friend, and with his help I was able to get here. ”
Serana didn't dare to let this zombie mess around, when the zombie was evolving, the runes first appeared from the heart, and then all over the torso, after being promoted to bronze, it spread to the arms and legs, the silver level is the hands and feet, and finally the head, like this kind of silver zombie with hands covered with runes, has definitely stepped into the legend with half a foot, if she wants to be unfavorable to Sawyer, even if she can stop it, she will inevitably alarm Hakong on the ground.
"Friends? Help? The zombie butler was skeptical, but since Serana had already said so, he was no longer embarrassed for Sawyer, and turned sideways to get out of the way, leading with one hand: "Please come with me, two of you." ”
With that, they led the way ahead, while the other silver skeletons remained bowed, standing respectfully on either side, as if they were loyal guards.
"What should I do?" Serana glanced at Sawa and raised an eyebrow, obviously a little undecided.
"If you come, you will be safe, so let's go." Sawyer shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head in the direction of the zombie butler.
"But......," Serana frowned.
"Let's go, what else can I do?" Sawyer tilted his head again, then shrugged and sighed.
Just when Sawa and Serana were playing dumb riddles, the zombie butler also noticed that the two were not following, turned to look at the two, the two hurriedly stopped their movements, looking at the zombie butler who seemed to be a little dissatisfied, his heart suddenly turned horizontal, took Serana's hand and followed, the zombie butler's expression was a lot more relaxed, but Serana lowered her head with a red face, and let Sawa pull her forward.
However, Sawyer will indeed be wrong this time, God knows, the "dissatisfaction" in Sawyer's eyes is the panicked look of the zombie butler, and then the "soothing expression" that Sawyer saw was instead the zombie butler's shocked expression with a hint of anger!
It can't be helped, sometimes the races are different, and the meanings expressed by various expressions are also very different, just like cats and dogs are at odds.
However, although he was dissatisfied with Sawyer, for the sake of Serana's face, the zombie butler still said that the two of them were brought to Valerika's laboratory, and while explaining the origin of this laboratory to the two, they found a notebook and three special materials from the laboratory.
"Miss, according to Madame's instructions, I can't participate in the rest of the matter, I wish you all the best."
Respectfully handing the materials and notes to Serana, the zombie butler bowed again and turned to leave the room.
