Chapter 202: Dead by Daylight
Near dawn, Qing Chi finally found the Otlan Sanctuary. This is half an hour away from the vampire castle, and under the low mountains there is a dilapidated sanctuary that has been mottled and dilapidated on the outside, and looks abandoned for years. During this period, Yuan Mingqing once contacted Qingchi, but the system prompted that he was in the mission map, could not be teleported, and could not send coordinates. Qing Chi carefully lost a few reconnaissance techniques, and after making sure that there were no mechanisms nearby, he quietly opened the door of the sanctuary.
A strange aura rushed towards him, and Qing Chi turned on the skill of Daxue Shihar and squinted his eyes to look at it. Sure enough, a blue magic barrier gradually appeared in front of him. Unlocking the magic barrier reveals a low altar on the ground, with a dried corpse lying next to it, and stones blocking the way.
Qing Chi crouched down to investigate the corpse. It was an ordinary human skeleton with Hanus' name on it. Qing Chi rummaged through the corpse for a while and found Hanus's diary. What makes Qing Chi have to complain is that the NPCs in the Mandate of Heaven Continent have a good habit of keeping a diary.
"One of the vampire factions tried to capture the priest of the sanctuary, and for safety I launched an ambush in the southern part of the sanctuary, into which the priest had already escaped. I will fight to the death with a stubborn will until I destroy these damned vampires. Qing Chi read this diary and got the location of the priest of Sheng'e.
After opening the mechanism with the key on the corpse, the gate blocked by the stone opened. Qing Chi followed the cursor of the quest and continued to advance, and finally reached the end of the sanctuary, where the dilapidated idol had collapsed for the most part, and the green moss was wrapped around it, growing many moldy mushrooms. Suddenly many red moths flew in front of you. These moths kept jumping and flying around Qing Chi, sprinkling red moth powder on Qing Chi's body.
"Come on...... Feeling tired? Come into my arms......" a voice sounded faintly. Qing Chi felt his strength suddenly drain away, and at the top of the sanctuary, a red giant cocoon suddenly burst out, and Priest Sheng'e opened his eyes. No, it can't be called a human anymore, it's a huge moth, with all but the head and body that have been insectized, including the jaws, compound eyes, and wings.
It is clear that the priest wanted to eat himself. Qing Chi sneered and instantly transformed into a vampire. The power from the darkness brought Qing Chi back to action. Vampires cannot use human equipment, and in contrast to a variety of skills, vampires rely on agility and surprise attacks, as well as both physical and magical attacks. Qing Chi lit up the vampire's skill tree, gaining the Shadow Assassination, Shadow Raid, and Dark Forbidden Spell skills. He could summon the dark forces to deal explosive damage as he lunged into the enemy, and after beating the damn disgusting moth, a pleading voice came out, and the priest of Saint E turned into a human body and shivered on his knees.
When Qingchi knelt down and begged for mercy, he threw a vampire temptation at him. Priest Sheng'e was full of excitement, his eyes gradually became confused, and finally he prostrated on the ground and gave in to his will, "Hello, honorable master. Qing Chi curled the corners of his lips, "Tell me everything you know about the spell of the Heavenly Dagger." Priestess Saint E pondered for a moment, and finally slowly uttered the incantation.
Qing Chi jotted down the spell and picked up the vampire armor in the sanctuary. Now that she's in a vampire state, she can't use the contents of her backpack at all, and this vampire armor is barely a blue quality, which is better than not wearing it at all.
When Qing Chi turned into a bat and rushed back to the castle, the sky had already shown a little dawn. In one night, the pattern of vampires in Hakong's faction changed significantly, and the return of Qing Chi was greeted by Prince Hahn, who sat on the throne of human heads with his eyes closed and meditating, and under his hands, several high-ranking vampires sat silently, including Ruth. Qing Chi's eyes froze, and he was lying on the ground! Prince Hakong's rich clothes were tattered, covered with scars, and there was a huge hole in his chest, which turned into a dried corpse and lay on the ground.
"Oh, my bride is back. As you can see, I ate his heart and blood. Now the whole castle belongs to us. Hahn slowly opened his eyes and smiled at Qing Chi.
A sudden chill ran down his spine. With a turn of his eyes, Qing Chi pursed his lips slightly, "It's an honor to meet you, respected king." β
Like Qing Chi's hunch, Hahn is not a simple NPC, he is an intelligent boss with his own thinking ability and will respond to various situations. The dagger of heaven fell from the ground, Qing Chi walked over and picked it up, and exclaimed, "Can you give me this loot?" β
Hahn nodded, "Of course." I have arranged for our wedding to be held at the castle tomorrow night, now go find my mother, who may be in the courtyard of the castle. β
Entering the inner courtyard of the Night Castle and pulling the two levers, Hahn stood silently in the deserted courtyard: "This is where my mother and I come most often. Everything was ruined...... The whole area was like death. My mother was a magician, and I didn't know where she happened after she was imprisoned. β
After surveying the courtyard with Hahn, Qing Chi found several strange stones, and after piecing together the patterns of the sun, moon and nebula, they were embedded in the mural on the wall, and the central flower bed slowly separated, and a basement burst out, shooting dazzling light from it. It turned out to be a magic passage! Could it be that Hahn's mother was a magician? Qing Chi picked up the dirt from the flower bed and found a diary full of symbols. It was an ancient elven phrase that I was familiar withβ"On the night of the New Moon in the Castle of the Night, my experiment has finally succeeded." I've created a portal to the exit, and no one can stop me from being free! β
Qing Chi's heart was pounding. There's also a portal! Does it mean that you can go out? Hahn's mother must have been a high-ranking magician, not only fluent in the ancient elven language, but also the creator of portals. Although it is not known where this portal leads, it is always a good way to leave. There is already a hint on the status bar that there are 10 hours left before the vampire curse on his body will disappear and turn back into a human.
"What, is there anything out of the ordinary?" Hahn walked over, "This magic passage doesn't seem to be able to get in. β
Of course not. Because it is necessary to make a special potion. Qing Chi put away the diary, racking his brains to find these materials in the castle while thinking about how to kill Hahn.
Maybe the only certainty of holographic games is that they're too real. Qing Chi felt that these intelligent NPCs were too real more than once, and he also felt that these environments were too real. The thought of marrying a rotten vampire and lying in a coffin, Qing Chi subconsciously felt sick to his stomach. In any case, I have to get out of here.
