Chapter 169: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
The atmosphere in the Black Rock Castle suddenly became tense.
Under the orders of Baron Anlan, Locke, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, led a reorganized convoy to conduct a close house-to-house search of all parts of the castle in search of lurking vampires.
The Raising Eyebrows also joined the searchers, but due to the lack of manpower, and the large number of buildings, workshops, and shops in the castle, the search was very difficult, and the resistance of some residents made the progress very slow, and no trace of the vampire was found for two consecutive days.
As a result, the Lord's Mansion issued a bounty notice, and anyone who finds a useful and reliable clue can get a reward of 10 gold coins, and the reward for killing a vampire is up to 100 gold coins!
On the third day, the search continued.
On the second floor of the Lord's Mansion, in the luxuriously decorated study, Baron Anlan sat behind his desk, carefully reviewing the piles of official letters on the desk.
Zhao Xi stood aside, his figure straight and firm, as if he was carved in stone and iron, standing still.
Now the guards of the Lord's Mansion and the Raised Eyebrows team are all out of the nest to hunt for vampires in the castle, and the protection task of Lord An Lan has been handed over to him, originally this work was owned by Ye Qianqian, but the eldest lady was impatient after holding on for a day, so she had to come in person.
"Thank you!"
Baron An Lan suddenly raised his head and smiled at Zhao Xiyan: "You have been here with me for the past two days, it must be boring, right?" ”
She was in her forties. But the beautiful face has not changed much because of the passage of time, and when I laugh, I still have a mature charm that makes people feel excited, which is very charming.
Zhao Xi bowed slightly: "It is my duty to protect the adults." ”
An Lan smiled, and was about to talk to him a few more words, when there was a gentle knock on the door of the study.
She changed her words and said, "Come in!" ”
A maid in a white dress walked in with a silver plate pushing open the door, and a teapot and snacks were placed on it.
Before you know it, it's time for afternoon tea.
An Lan smiled: "I have someone prepare an extra one, please share it with Your Excellency." ”
She stretched out her hand and motioned for the maid to put the tea tray down on the desk next to the desk.
"Kill!"
And then at this very time. Zhao Xi burst into trouble. Without the slightest warning, he suddenly pulled out his bloodthirsty blade and slashed out at the maid, and the murderous machine in the study suddenly started!
"Ahh
An Lan was dumbfounded, completely frightened by Zhao Xi's ferocity.
Seeing that the dark red blade was about to fall on the top of the maid's head. The seemingly delicate girl flew backwards abruptly. At the same time, he smashed the silver plate in his hand and the teapot snack towards Zhao Xi.
The handmaiden's movements are as fast as ghosts. Zhao Xi's knife actually missed.
He dodged the flying tea tray and instead of chasing, he stood in front of his desk. Protect Anlan behind him.
The maid retreated to the door, her eyes showing surprise: "How did you see through me?" ”
Her voice was extremely soft, with a hint of provocative charm, and when she spoke, two sharp fangs poked out from the corners of her lips, but her face did not change in the slightest.
Bloodsucker!
An Lan suddenly understood: "You are not Sally!" ”
Sally was the name of her personal maid, who was usually in charge of serving tea and water, and the vampire was apparently disguised as Sally to sneak in, and her intentions didn't need to be understood.
The female vampire grinned, "My name is Elaine!" ”
Her gaze always fell on Zhao Xi's body: "Strong paladin, you haven't answered my question yet!" ”
In fact, even An Lan was very curious about this question, because even she didn't see through the other party's disguise.
You must know that Sally is the person next to her, and she is usually very familiar.
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "Since you want to know the Dao, it doesn't matter if I tell you, I didn't see through your disguise, I heard it." ”
The vampire girl Elaine was even more curious: "Listen? How to listen? ”
If it's not for the hostile stance, this NPC girl is also very cute, with two blood-sucking fangs that are very cute.
Zhao Xi was not in a hurry to make a move, and patiently explained: "Your disguise is naturally flawless, even the baron has not seen through it, how can I see through it?" It's just that I've been here for two days, and I'm already familiar with Sally's footsteps, and your pace is much lighter than hers, which is obviously abnormal. ”
"Actually," he continued, "I'm not completely sure, I'm just trying." ”
"I see!"
Elaine suddenly realized: "Then next time I will definitely pay attention, Xie Lu thank you for your advice, Your Excellency Paladin!" ”
She lifted her long skirt and bowed to Zhao Xi, and smiled when she straightened up: "Presumably, Your Excellency must have been informing your companion just now, right?" Unfortunately, they can't come back for the time being. ”
Zhao Xi's heart sank, because what the other party said was right, Fang Xu, Ye Qianqian and others, who were deliberately arranged by him to search outside, were ambushed by the enemy, and the team channel was already in chaos!
Fang Xu roared: "Boss, there are a lot of them, you hold on first, wait for us to kill them!" ”
Ye Qianqian was impatient: "Don't say it, now it's all under my command!" ”
Li Shuai complained: "They have all calculated, waiting for us!" ”
The main force of the Raised Eyebrows team can't be counted on for the time being, Zhao Xi's plan to lure the snake out of the hole seems to have been played, the other party is obviously prepared, and I believe that Elaine will not come to assassinate alone.
"You vampires lurk deep enough inside the castle"
His gaze froze: "Everyone else get out!" ”
Rumble! Rumble!
As soon as Zhao Xi's words fell, only two loud noises were heard, and the walls on the left and right sides of the door exploded, and two figures jumped in like lightning and appeared on Elaine's left and right.
Zhao Xi raised his hand and cast two insights one after another, and the people who came were also two vampires, all of them were level 25!
They were dressed in black gentlemanly gifts, with cylindrical hats and red bow ties, blue-gray faces with disgusting smiles, and each holding a silver glittering sword in his hand.
Elaine pouted and said, "I guess you're not unprepared, right?" There's no point in hiding it! ”
Zhao Xi really admired the other party a little, he didn't look like a system-controlled NPC, with a cunning comparable to a real person.
But that doesn't mean he has to listen to the other person.
"Kill!"
Zhao Xi took off the bloodthirsty battle shield with his backhand and suddenly pounced on the vampires.
The two vampires glanced at each other, and at the same time stepped forward to stand in front of Elaine, they raised their thin swords side by side and stabbed at Zhao Xi, the movements of the two were exactly the same, and the blades of the swords broke through the air and made a snort like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter!
But when the weapons of the two sides were about to collide, Zhao Xi suddenly stopped, and the battle shield held in his left hand disappeared without a trace in an instant, and a dark golden bottle was held in his hand.
Both vampires were stunned, and continued to thrust forward with their swords.
Between the lightning and the fire, Zhao Xi took half a step back, raised his left arm and shook it hard, and the liquid contained in the bottle suddenly flew out and splashed on their faces!
Multiply~
The two vampires suddenly seemed to be splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, their faces showed signs of violent corrosion, wisps of white smoke rose up, and the great pain made them involuntarily let out a terrible scream-
2500! -
2500!
Two huge damage figures suddenly floated up, and the vampires' HP dropped by half in an instant!
"Holy water!"
Elaine screamed, sniffing the breath of fear that made her most disgusted.
That's right, what Zhao Xi is holding in his hand is the holy water, a precious prop with extremely lethal power against dark and evil monsters, since he dares to say that An Lan uses his own strategy to lure the snake out of the hole, of course, he must guard against being swallowed by poisonous snakes.
This bottle of holy water is the Templar's reward for An Lan, and it has always been treasured in the Lord's Mansion, and Zhao Xi only learned that Lu Dao had its existence through exchanges with An Lan, otherwise he would not have set up such a bold situation.
What can be known is that holy water is one of the key props to complete this plot task, and if it wasn't for completing the previous task and winning enough trust from An Lan, this secret Zhao Xi would not have been able to know!
Details determine success or failure, no matter whether this mission is completed successfully or not, Zhao Xi has learned a lot and has a deeper and more understanding of this unprecedented virtual game! ——
