Vampires are agile, able to fly, and can turn into bats, coupled with their strong physical recovery abilities, they are simply the best scout choice in the army of the undead.

The last time a vampire was found at Fort Swordbay, Lothar took it to heart.

It's no coincidence that a group of vampires suddenly appear in a barony capital just as the Scourge of the Dead is about to strike.

This means that the deceased are already doing preliminary reconnaissance work for the arrival of the Black Castle.

As a former legendary mage player, Lothar has hundreds of ways to deal with vampires in her head, and one of them is the ropes in the dimensional bag that have been soaked in holy water and smeared with a layer of silver pearl powder.

When a vampire is tied to this rope, the dark power in his body will be suppressed, and not only will he lose his ability to resist, but his healing power will also be greatly reduced.

Lothar strapped up the vampire captives and spoke to Aphro.

"By the way, why does your fiancé hate me? What is the origin of this Mr. Primo? ”

"I don't recognize him as my fiancé!" Aphro said with some emotion. She took a deep breath and calmed down before explaining the ins and outs of the matter to Lothar.

Primo was born into poverty, an orphan who had previously worked as a groom in Friedenburg.

By chance, he met the treasurer's daughter, Afro.

It is normal for a poor boy to meet a noble, beautiful and kind lady, and then fall in love with her at first sight.

Of course, it is not surprising that Primo was jealous of Lothar, who was still close to Aphro at the time and was the only son of the baron.

Primo was later whipped for stealing horses and expelled from the castle.

When Primo returned to Friedenburg a few years later, the place had changed dramatically.

Baron Friden is dead, but Lothar, the son of the Baron, has no right to inherit and is missing. The entire Barony of Oran fell into the hands of Masu Moon Scepter.

And Primo, who has become an official mage, originally returned to Friedenburg with a desire for revenge. Who knew that the enemy was nowhere to be seen, and his desire for revenge was completely frustrated.

Fortunately, Primo's other wish is very likely to come true.

After Masu Moonstaff became Baron Oran, he still retained most of the people in the castle. Among them is Hawke, the former treasurer.

Hawke's daughter, Aphro, is another of Primo's wishes.

He wants to get the Aphro he once loved, but he can't reach him.

To achieve this wish is not difficult for Primo today. He has become a full-fledged mage, located in the ruling class of the entire country, and even the entire continent. Aphro, on the other hand, is still just a trainee mage.

Primo quickly won the admiration of Masu, and as a traveling mage with no background, he became the chief mage of the castle and the baron.

In his absence, Masu Moonstaff was in charge of all matters in the entire realm, and it can be said that he was in a high position under one person in the barony.

Of course, this alone is not enough for Aphro to agree to marry Primo.

Soon after Primo arrived in Friedenburg, Aphro's father, Hawke, became seriously ill and bedridden. Primo rescued Hawke. In order to cure Hawke's strange illness once and for all, in exchange, Aphro agreed to marry Primo.

"It's a good story if you don't dig deeper. Primo likes you very much, and he saved your father, and it's not too bad for you to marry him. ”

"If only that's all there is...... I may be reluctant, but I will accept this marriage. Aphro's face turned slightly pale, "But there's too much weirdness and evil about Primo. I can't spend my whole life with this kind of person! ”

"The evidence is already in front of you, Mr. Primo, who has a relationship with vampires, is indeed not a good marriage partner." Lothar gestured to the vampire who was trapped by herself.

"What are you going to do with it?" Aphro asked.

"Primo has been able to transform from an expelled pony to a high-ranking mage in just a few years, and there must be a lot of secrets hidden in it. Why he came to the Barony of Oran is also worth investigating. I don't think this gentleman is just seeking revenge on me, or marrying the old dream girl. ”

Lothar said slowly, "So, I want to see if I can find something useful from the mouth of this little bat." ”

"Die! In the eyes of the great Bloodline, you are just a lump of flesh full of blood. You don't want anything out of my mouth! ”

"We'll see." Lothar looked at the vampire, "I have a lot of ways to get you to speak. ”

"Vampires are incredibly resilient, far beyond the average human. And the pain nerves in their bodies are completely different from those of humans. Do you want to torture it to make it speak? Aphro asked.

"You're right, Aphro. However, your understanding of the physiology of necromantic creatures needs to be further strengthened. ”

Lothar chatted with the girl as she quietly took out a set of dissecting tools.

"Vampires are not living beings, but they are still 'creatures' and have many weaknesses. For example......"

He explained to Aphro casually as he slashed the vampire's chest with a scalpel as if he were cutting a steak.

"As you said, this guy doesn't feel any pain. But you can look here, right next to the heart that has stopped beating, there's a diaphragm. Lothar said, pointing to the vampire's dissected chest.

It's like a medical professor giving a lecture to a student.

"This thing is a vampire's unique organ, and its sensitivity is like a woman's yin...... Well, that word doesn't seem very elegant. Lothar smiled and took out a small bottle of holy water from the dimensional pouch, "Anyway, if I were going to drop a drop of holy water, then this strong-looking vampire gentleman would shake out everything he knew......"

Hearing Lothar's words, the vampire finally couldn't take it anymore and struggled to break out and curse.

But that doesn't stop Lothar.

…………

Half an hour later, Aphro was still pale and frightened.

Although the target of Lothar's "torture to extract confessions" is not an ordinary person, but a vampire who feeds on the flesh and blood of the living, a public enemy of civilization, she still has lingering fears about the bloody events that have just happened.

The man in front of him, who did not change his face and cleaned the blood on his hands, was it really the Lothar Friden he knew before?

Lothar, who has a somewhat gloomy personality but is very kind; Although she was introverted and silent because she couldn't ignite the flame of the law for a long time, she never couldn't bear to hurt others, why did she seem to have become a different person after only ten days after leaving Friedenburg?

Not only did he ignite the spark of law, but he was also promoted to the rank of official mage in one fell swoop.

Judging from Lothar's record of destroying more than a dozen vampires in one go just now, his strength is far beyond that of ordinary mages.

He even claimed that he had single-handedly eliminated all three mages of the Moon Scepter Family!

Now, Lothar appears in front of Aphro's eyes, a calm, wise man who can dissect and torture a vampire without changing his face, and with an interested expression on his face the whole time.

Compared with the familiar Lothar in his memory, the Lothar in front of Aphro's eyes now is much stronger in both heart and strength.

In fact, from the bottom of her heart, Aphro prefers this Lothar now. At the very least, he was the hope that he would be able to save himself from Primo. It's just that the girl can't adapt to this huge change in Lothar now.

Lothar had already noticed that Aphro had been watching him, and he knew about what was going on in the other person's mind. But what does it matter? Lothar is basking in the excitement of having just conducted her first real-world vivisection experiment. This novel experience not only allowed him to know Primo's true identity and purpose, but even improved his "Life Inspiration" skill by 3 points.

Learning the life and death classification spells of the Soul School requires a mage with knowledge of biological anatomy.

The vampire spat out all the secrets under Lothar's targeted methods of coercing confessions. After losing its usefulness, it was also unceremoniously killed by Lothar.

"I didn't expect that the Barony of Oran would be the first place to bear the brunt of this undead disaster." Lothar said in her heart.

Primo is a necromancer.

That's not a problem.

Because in this day and age, mages have the right to freely choose the direction of their magic research.

But Primo is a big problem in order to study necromancy and pursue power, and he does not hesitate to ignore all social order and moral codes. Not only did he collude with the Blood, but he was also referred to as the "Guide" by the Bloods.

Lothar knew that in the Scourge of the Dead, those who betrayed their identity as "the living" and chose to join the dead had such a title.

With his identity, Primo provides cover for the vampires, the outposts of the army of the undead, in preparation for an invasion of the Barony of Oran.

What's more, Primo seems to be aware of the existence of the mysterious stone door in the depths of the castle, and is trying to find a way to open it.

Moreover, it is said that the other party has found the key to the stone gate, but for some reason, it has not been opened.

"It seems that it is necessary to get rid of Mr. Primo and the undead lurking in the castle, and get the key to unlock the secret of the stone gate." Lothar thought to herself.

Seeing that Lothar hadn't spoken, Aphro couldn't help but ask, "You killed all these vampire guards, what should we do?" ”

"I'd love to go straight into the castle and kill Mr. Soprimo and his undead friends. But then your father is in danger. ”

"I've always suspected that my father's serious illness has something to do with Primo, and I really can't act rashly."

"So, Aphro, you just have to go back to the castle as if you hadn't seen me. I have a plan and need your help......"

Moved last Friday and had a busy day. I was planning to get the broadband transfer done on Friday afternoon, but who knew that the telecom people came and found out that the fiber optic modem at home was broken. So it was delayed for another two days, and it was not connected to the Internet until today.

In any case, the pot of the broken watch can only be carried by itself, alas......
