When Sophia woke up, she only felt that the scenery around her was spinning, her head was cold, and her ears were buzzing, but she still struggled to push away the quilt covering her body, got up and got out of bed, but she didn't expect to lose her balance and fall to the floor with a "pop". Please remember the URL of this site: .

"Miss Sophia, be careful. A maid carefully lifted Sophia to her feet.

But Sophia didn't care about her physical condition, she grabbed the maid's wrist and asked eagerly, "How long have I slept?"

The maid's arm was scratched a little painfully, but she gritted her teeth and said to Sophia, "About two hours, maybe less." ”

"Two hours, what a waste of two hours!" exclaimed Sophia.

Ignoring her physical discomfort, she barely got up from the floor and stumbled to the door of her room.

"Miss Sophia, your body hasn't recovered yet. The dutiful maid immediately chased after her.

"Sue me, where are they?" asked Sophia, anxiously to the maid.

"What?" the maid hadn't reacted yet.

"Your king, Duris. And my companions. ”

"They were all in the study. ”

Hearing the maid say this, Sophia didn't even care that she didn't have shoes on, and ran in the direction of the imperial study.

"Wait for me, Miss Sophia!" the bewildered maid hurried after her.

Sophia bumps and bumps along the way, searching for the location of the study with the help of her memory, and she recalls the events before she fell unconscious......

The four of them endured hardships and finally rushed to Hansha City, but they did not expect to be turned away by the soldiers defending the city. The hot-blooded Joyka and Ray were furious, and the grievances they had suffered during the trip finally found an excuse to vent, and they started to fight with the guards at a disagreement, and even Dani was affected by their love and joined the warband. Although Sophia did not want to fight with the guards, she tried to dissuade her, but she had no choice but to be implicated by her companions. The comrades were indignant and beat the guards defending the city to the ground, but the guards who were in charge of their duties stuck to their posts and would rather die than retreat. The commotion at the gates of the city grew louder and louder, and finally alarmed the garrison troops in the city. When Fawkes arrived at the city gate with a large number of elite soldiers to reinforce them, he found that the "terrible" invaders mentioned in the report turned out to be the guests that His Majesty had been waiting for, and the armed clash between the two sides was finally stopped.

However, although the unnecessary fighting was quelled, the trouble did not go away. Among the four, Sophia's seasickness was the most severe, and after going ashore, she rode for more than ten hours in a row, and the jolting on the horseback aggravated her seasickness. After the battle ended, the nerves that had been tense for a long time suddenly relaxed, coupled with the strict loss of continuous spell casting, Sophia finally couldn't support it, and fell to the ground in front of her, losing consciousness......

Now Sophia had woken up, but she was still quite weak, and even though it had been a long time since she landed, Sophia felt that she was still in the boat, and the whole palace was like a huge ship that passed through the wind and waves in the middle of the sea, rocking all around, and without the help of the maid, Sophia would have hit her head in the corner of the corridor and bled out.

In the midst of all these discomforts, Sophia finally moved to the imperial study.

Joyka, Ray, Dany, and King Duris all sat at a round table. When the door of the imperial study was slammed open in a panic, everyone's eyes were drawn to the door, only to see Sophia, who had not even taken off her shoes and was unbearable, stumbling in, followed by panicked maids and guards.

"Sophia, aren't you resting in the room?" asked Joyka.

But Sophia ignored Joyka, and she held on to the items in the imperial study, and walked to King Duris: "Sue me, what has happened, what has happened to my country?"

The guards behind were about to rush forward and pull the woman away from the king, but King Duris waved his hand: "You all stand down." Close the door. ”

After receiving the king's order, the guards and maids did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly withdrew.

"Here's the thing. So King Duris repeated to Sophia what he had said to the three Joykas.

"One of the triumvirates of the undead, the vampire prince Derkra, in order to find his son, threatened the lives of the entire Hansar City? madman, simply crazy!" Sophia shook her head as she spoke, revealing an expression of disbelief as she spoke.

"When we first heard about it, we thought the same way you did. "Is it a magical name to say, 'For whom the bell tolls?'?" ”

"That's why you want us to bring Cassius back, because you suspect that the enemy he encountered in the Tower of Seven Sins is the son of the Prince of Blood," Sophia said to King Duris.

"That's right, it's the only thing I can think of that could have something to do with the Bloodline. Duris replied.

"But there is no evidence that the gluttonous guard that the fat man met is the son of the vampire prince. What happened in the Tower of Seven Sins that day, this fat guy is very secretive about us. Joy Kado.

"Uncle King's judgment cannot be wrong. Dani was unhappy with Joyka's questioning.

"I've seen a kid on the fourth floor of the Gluttonous Guard. "When I entered the inner space to rescue my brother who was trapped there, my brother happened to be followed by a little boy, about 7 or 8 years old, maybe younger. ”

"Is this little boy the son of the Prince of Blood," Dani asked assumingly.

"I don't know. Lei shook his head and said, "At that time, my brother seemed to want to protect him, and I thought that this little boy was also a victim trapped in the inner space." ”

"And where is this kid now?" asked Dani.

There was silence in the study. In fact, you don't need to ask to know the answer, the only people who were rescued in the Tower of Seven Sins at that time were Joyka, Sophia, Ray, Cassius and Owen, and there was no sixth person.

"I hope that child is not the son of the Prince of Blood. Joyka said in a deep voice. It is difficult to predict what terrible consequences would arise if the Prince of the Vampires knew that his son had died.

In this way, even if my brother comes back, it will not help. Ray sighed.

"I very much don't want that to happen. ”

"Then, because of the curse of the death knell, anyone who does not hear the bell at midnight will die, so the order is given to seal the city of Hansha and not allow anyone to enter or leave. But have you ever thought that this might just be a bluff on the part of the Prince of Blood?" Sophia tried to solve the problem in another direction.

King Duris said with a stern expression, "Princess Sophia, your wishful thinking will not help change the status quo. On the first day, a small detachment of the army, which had been ordered to deliver food to villages outside the city, did not return to the city before the clock struck midnight due to delay, and their bodies were found the next day. There were no scars on his body, as if he was asleep, but his heart had long since stopped, and his body was stiff and cold. ”

Sophia's hand pinching the corner of her clothes was already oozing with sweat, and although Duris didn't say it explicitly, she knew that her luck would kill many people. Now Sophia was scared and ashamed, but her mind gradually calmed down.

"Hansha City has a population of 60,000, and if you want to curse so many people at the same time, no matter how powerful the Vampire Prince is, he can't do it with his magic alone, and he must use some auxiliary means to increase his magic power, such as a magic array that covers the whole city, or some powerful magic items. We just need to find out and destroy it, and we can break the curse. Sophia, who had calmed down, tried to come up with a solution from the perspective of a magic practitioner.

"Regarding the situation you mentioned, the military priest in my army also mentioned that those so-called 'magic props' have long been found, which are bats that are hanging upside down under the eaves of every house and replacing the original habitat of swallows. Duris said.

"Bat?" Hearing this term, Sophia was a little confused.

Dani said with palpitations: "Sister Sophia, when you entered the city, you were unconscious and didn't see it, almost every house in the city was covered with those black and frightening things under the eaves, and you felt furious even when you looked at them. ”

"Those bats are not ordinary bats, they are called 'Blood Night Bats', they are a unique species that grows in the Blood Mountains, the Prince of Vampire brought them over, and they are used as ** props to amplify magic power, and through the invisible sonar emitted by hundreds of thousands of bats, any curse can be cast on everyone in the city. Duris took over the topic.

"Can't you kill these animals?" said Lei.

"But it didn't work, because all the people who attacked these bats were dead, and they couldn't hear the bells at midnight. More than twenty people have lost their lives as a result, including soldiers who shot bats with crossbow arrows and naughty children who simply wounded them with slingshots. Any cursed person who has harmed his pets will not be pardoned by the Vampire Prince. ”

"We outsiders who haven't been cursed should not be afraid!" Ray said, standing up, "Sophia, Joika, Dani, what are we waiting for now, kill these bats at once." ”

But compared to Lei's enthusiasm, everyone's reaction was quite cold.

"What's wrong with you, shouldn't we take action?" Ray asked his companion puzzled.

"Ray, don't make a fuss. Joy Caray asked him to sit down again, "Do you know how many Blood Night Bats there are in the city? There are only four of us, and we have less than 10 hours left, no, maybe not even 8 hours, how many bats do you think we can kill before midnight tonight?"

"Are you just sitting still?" said Ray to his feet again. With his character, how can he sit still?

"It's not impossible. It's just a little too crazy. A sly smile swept across the corners of Joyka's mouth, "Instead of tangling with those bats, let's go straight to the root of the matter." ”

"You're crazy, boy. I had the same thought before, but soon I didn't dare to think about it anymore. Duris immediately guessed what the "solution" Joyka was talking about, and now Duris can only sigh that "the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers".

"Joika, Uncle King, don't play dumb riddles, tell me what you have come up with. Dani asked anxiously.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first. Go directly to defeat that vampire prince, and the curse will naturally be lifted immediately. Joyka said straight to the point. This approach is straightforward, crude, simple and primitive, but it is often the most overlooked.

"I'm for it!" said Ray immediately with a raised hand.

"But can we find out where the Vampire Prince is hiding before we defeat him?" Sophia found the crux of the matter.

At this moment, two arrogant laughter suddenly turned in the imperial study.

"Hahahaha...... Melissa, did you hear that? These stinking little guys actually said that they would defeat their masters. ”

The space next to the bookcase distorted, and a ball of light generated by spatial teleportation magic appeared in front of their companions and Duris without warning, only to see two figures, a man and a woman, appear in the ball of light. Both were dressed in black costumes. The man had short red hair, tall and thin, and he was the one who had just spoken, while the woman next to him had long blue ponytail hair on the back of her head, and she had a bewitching appearance and a cold expression.

"What's the hurry? Leon. The woman said to her companion, "Now that everyone has arrived, it's almost time for the feast to begin." ”
