Chapter 33: Rest (4)
The night was as silent as a forest, the wind mixed with snowflakes, the cold wail, and at midnight the darkness seemed to swallow everything.
The dark night seemed to be covered with endless black ink, and there was nothing but the glimmer of torches.
The latest planet, which is several times the clear moon, is embedded in the black screen-like night, pouring out the world with a silver veil for this black world.
The ancient European-style villa, standing in the dark night, is filled with a terrifying atmosphere, the wind seems to be able to smell a trace of blood, a coolness penetrates the body, piercing into the bones, as if the cold that has been imprisoned for thousands of years is instantly released, making people tremble at the moment when the brain can't think about it, and then quickly freeze.
The mountain path, the thick shadow, the knife can't cut it, and the needle can't pierce it, as if diving in the dark and gloomy seabed, the cold fire trembling in the wind, like the phosphorescent light of the seabed.
The wind gradually faded away, but no insects could be heard, and the extreme silence was terrifying.
As if touching something at his feet, through the afterglow of the torches, he saw the long black and damp hair sticking to the skull, and it was not difficult to judge that the corpse was a woman, and the red women's shoes looked particularly thrilling on such a night.
"Ahh
Someone exclaimed uncontrollably, and the torches were twisted a little strangely under the trembling arms, like dancing ghost fires.
There were a total of eight people in the group, and one of them, a slender man and a little girl, were even more eye-catching in such a team, but these two people were the two most calm in the line.
This is the way to Movas's lair. Lin Xiu had no choice but to complete this task. The little vampire also resolutely refused to stay in the hotel to rest alone. insisted on following, but in terms of her current performance, she is a relatively calm one except for Lin Xiu.
Tonil already knew about his wife's death, and did not blame Lin Xiu for his rash action, on the contrary, he was very grateful to let her wife's soul return to rest, just because Alva had died, and Heruga was also arrested according to the law. His anger could not be vented.
When he heard that the lord was about to gather his men to destroy Movas, Tonil decided to avenge his wife in this way, and this usually cheerful young man was now pale, and he could not tell whether it was because of the hatred or the cold of the night wind.
Bell is the strongest and strongest one in the group, this man has the traditional nature of the Nords, very straightforward, since he was easily defeated by Lin Xiu, he has regarded Lin Xiu as a good friend. When he learned that he was going to Movas's lair, he followed without hesitation.
The others were drawn by the lords. There are a few more powerful guards in Mosar, but their bodies are constantly swinging, and the original arrogance in front of the lord has long disappeared.
Instead, there was a trembling body, and some trembling lips.
"I think, it's better for us to come back during the day, after all, it's a vampire, it is said that it is an existence that cannot be killed, and if we go over like this, won't we have to die?"
"If the other party is a skilled warrior, no, even if it is a giant, it is nothing, I will never flinch at all, and being able to die on the battlefield is the best destination for a soldier.
But vampires, you say? I always feel that sending myself to death like this is a very irresponsible manifestation of myself. “
As the goddess lord said, if these people fight people or known monsters, they will be extremely brave, but if they are a legendary being, then they will be afraid before they fight.
"Why don't we report the investigation to the lord for decision, there are only eight of us, but it is the base camp of Movas, if we go like this, won't we be sent to death?"
"Maybe you are cowards, but I am different, I want to avenge my wife, and if anyone is afraid, even if I leave now, I will not go to report it to my lord."
Tonil was annoyed by the cowardice of his companions, and now he was vengeful and had already banished his fears from his body, which showed that his wife was a very important presence in his heart.
"It's really a shame for Mossal's man, no matter what, after walking for so long on such a cold day, if he hadn't even touched a vampire's hair, then Bell would have obediently hidden at home and slept after that."
The cowardice of these people obviously also caused Bell's dissatisfaction.
A few guards could naturally hear the cynicism in the words of the two, but compared to sending them to death, it really didn't hurt.
After finding an excuse full of loopholes, these four people all sent blessings and fled, and the original team of eight people now has only four people left.
"What do you think? Dear adventurers, I'm sure you'll have a different perspective from theirs. “
Tonil can only pin his last hope on Lin Xiu, after all, Lin Xiu is actually the only one who has the right to speak in this operation.
"Go ahead, it may be dangerous for a while, you may lose your life at any time, but even if I am alone, I will definitely empty Movas's lair tonight, I don't want the souls of the mother and daughter to continue to wander, is this what an adventurer should do, isn't it?
If you're going to feel embarrassed, go back now, I'm not going to make fun of you, you're more of a warrior than the regular guards. “
Lin Xiu said that it was high-sounding, but in fact, he didn't care if his soul rested in peace, and the mother and daughter had nothing to do with him, he just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and get points.
"Friend, you embarrass me more than you make fun of Bell, the Nords have never left their friends alone and left this bullshit belief, let me go with you and kick those vampires in the ass."
"Me too, please don't worry about this, if my wife is killed, I can still be in Mosal with peace of mind and do nothing, then her soul may never rest in peace, I don't want to be spurned by her grave for the rest of my life."
Both were resolute. Lin Xiu stopped persuading. Keep going. As the distance from Movas's lair became shorter and shorter, and the decorations such as the Blood Sacrifice Banner had become more and more numerous, it was clear that they were getting closer and closer to Movas's lair.
"Hey, Helji, why are you here?"
The little vampire suddenly let out a surprise in surprise, the other three people couldn't see the soul at all, and Helji knew it very well. It was the little girl who was burned to death two days ago, and at this time she was shouted by the little vampire like this, even if the two of them were very bold, they were really scared.
Lin Xiu hurriedly explained, and after bringing out the words of the Goddess Lord, the two of them were a lot more relieved, but being able to talk to the soul still made the two of them feel incredible.
"What is she doing here?"
Lin Xiu continued to walk forward and asked the little vampire beside him.
Helji said her mother couldn't sleep every night in agony. And always around here, I heard that we were going to Movas's lair. So she came and led the way. “
Hearing this explanation, Lin Xiu didn't say much, obviously the final decision of this mission was that they had to kill Movas before the little girl and her mother could really rest in peace.
"There are two people at the door, what to do?"
From the front of Movas's lair, the four of them carefully concealed their figures, the torches had naturally been extinguished, although the night was very dark, but with the black shadow moving from time to time, they could still see the general corridor, obviously these vampires also knew how to stand guard.
It was Tonil who asked loudly, and although he was vengeful, he was not a reckless man who didn't care about it when his head was hot.
"Do you need to ask? Of course, it is enough to kill it directly. “
Bell had unbuttoned his robe and was ready to pick up his massive two-handed axe and charge at it, in keeping with his character, as if he had long guessed that he would make such a move.
"I'll go over, you wait here, wait until my signal comes, and then you come out."
After Lin Xiu finished speaking, his body had quickly leaned towards the two of them, his body was like a light midnight elf, and he only left a slight mark on the snow.
This kind of stealth skill makes Tonil breathtaking, if someone else says this, Bell will definitely spit on him, this kind of words are obviously insulting Nord's heroic soldiers, but Lin Xiu is different, he is the one he admires the most, since Lin Xiu said this, then there must be a reason for him.
By the afterglow of the night, Lin Xiu had already approached one of the two vampires in a few shuttles, covering each other's mouths with one hand, and sending him to play chess with God with a light stroke of the dagger.
The other was also killed by Lin Xiu silently and easily without any vigilance.
"Big brother is so powerful."
Helji has become a soul, and his vision is naturally no longer limited by his physical body, so even in the dark, he can see clearly.
"What a big brother, hum, it's obviously an uncle."
There was obviously a trace of dissatisfaction in the little vampire's tone, and he seemed to be very angry about Lin Xiu calling her niece.
"As amazing as this silent killing is, isn't that the act of a thief? We are warriors, and fighting loudly is the best way to fit the Nord style, isn't it? Tounil. ”
Bell clearly still prefers a charge in one battle formation.
"Maybe you're right, but that's a tribute to an equal enemy, but we don't need to talk about Nord traditions about these vile vampires."
Toniel's brain was obviously more flexible, and after seeing Lin Xiu waving to them, he quickly chased after them.
Movas's lair is hidden in a cave, the entrance of the cave is very dark, but a faint light can be seen inside, and there is only one entrance to the cave, so this is the only way to break through.
Although the little vampire was a little dissatisfied, Lin Xiu still insisted on leaving her at the entrance of the cave and letting her stay with Helji's soul, there was inevitably a fight inside, although she was a vampire, but having a child would still get in the way.
With Toniel and Bell, not long after they moved forward, they were discovered by a vampire, and the vampire had already sent a signal before he died.
These vampires are obviously some newborn vampires, and they are not too threatening, but Lin Xiu still instructed Toniel and Bell. Don't be bitten by a vampire. Otherwise, they will become their companions.
"How dare anyone offend here?
Or three people?
Hum. It just so happens that I'm missing three vampire minions. “
Movas said, letting his vampire minions besiege the trio as he began to chant a spell.
"Magician?"
Obviously, this Movis was still a magician before he became a vampire, and as the spell ended, three ice spikes shot at Lin Xiu and the others.
Lin Xiu stretched out his hand quickly, grabbed a vampire servant with one hand and blocked it directly in front of him, and the ice spikes flew in. Pierced the vampire in half.
"Bastard, I hate magicians the most, and I only hurt people with sneaky arrows."
Bell couldn't dodge, there was already an extra ice spike on his calf, and his original advantage had been lost, so he could only shake his teeth and swing a giant axe to fend off the vampire minions who were besieging him.
Although Tonil was embarrassed, fortunately he reacted quickly, and the moment the ice spikes flew out, he quickly fell to the ground. Dodged the fatal blow.
Bale suffered a leg injury and had to get down on one knee. The three vampire minions in front of him attacked in turn, making his form look precarious.
"Get down"
Suddenly there was a low shout, and Balfour decisively gave up the battle axe in his hand, and rolled directly to the ground with his head in his hands, seeing that a long sword was about to stab his body.
At the last moment, Lin Xiu's body rose and fell, like a silhouette flying sideways, and the long knife that was snatched over was like a silver moon unfolding in mid-air, swaying red blood to bring up a good head.
Another vampire servant was about to sneak up on him after he was attacked, Lin Xiu took advantage of the knife momentum, one foot rotated three hundred and sixty degrees on the ground, and the other foot touched his temple with great precision, and at the same time, with the help of strength, he rose up, turned around and kicked the body of another vampire servant.
The moment before he landed, the long knife came out of his hand, and before the vampire servant hit the ground, the long knife pierced through his body and landed directly on the wall.
The force of the throw alone can pierce the body of an enemy and then stab the rock, a force that even the strongest Nords cannot easily do.
And Lin Xiu's series of movements can be called smooth, looking gorgeous and powerful at the same time, which made Toniel a little dumbfounded for a while, not knowing who this person is sacred.
"Let me die."
"Be careful."
At the moment when Lin Xiu's attack was closed, Movas's magic was also ready, and with the push of both hands, several huge ice cubes smashed towards the three of them.
"What the hell is this?"
Bell had just gotten up from the ground, and when he saw the huge ice cubes flying in, he quickly covered his head and continued to lie down, each of which was twice the size of his body, and if he was hit by such a high-speed rotation, he would definitely vomit blood instantly.
Toniel's body was hit by ice and flew out because of the loud reminder, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, apparently seriously injured.
Lin Xiu quickly approached Movas, jumping and tumbling on the ice with his dexterous dodging movements, although the speed was hindered to a certain extent, the distance between the two was constantly narrowing.
"No way, how can you get out of the way."
Such a dense block of ice, roaring and spraying at the three of them, is obviously the last hole card of Movas, and his magic is constantly draining.
Seeing that Lin Xiu's was constantly approaching, this person's figure was still so thin, and it seemed that it would be difficult to get up after being hit once, but on the contrary, his movements were extremely sensitive, and those ice cubes didn't even touch the corners of his clothes.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Movas roared in despair, and with all his strength, a large cube of ice the size of a millstone shot out of his body.
The distance between the two was only five meters, such a short distance, such a large area, Lin Xiu was obviously unavoidable, but this time he did not continue to dodge.
"Hit!"
Movas exclaimed with joy.
"Bang!"
With such a loud noise, his mood instantly fell to the bottom of the valley and was dead to ashes.
- King Kong shattered.
Lin Xiu's fist flashed with a light blue aura, and a punch smashed into the center of the ice cube, scattering and cracking at the same time, Lin Xiu had already stuck into Movas's body.
As a mage, even after becoming a vampire, Movis is pitifully weak in melee combat.
His proud teeth bit into Lin Xiu's neck, but Lin Xiu's hand was inserted into his chest a moment ago.
"Snort"
As the palm of his hand pulled out, a large piece of blood splashed Lin Xiu's body, and Movas slowly softened to the ground with an unwilling look.
"Ahem, kill him."
Toniel got up from the ground with difficulty, and walked towards Lin Xiu with Bell's support, and both of them had unconcealed joy on their faces.
Being able to take out a full-fledged vampire will also be reused by the lord compared to when they go back.
Lin Xiu looked at the bloodstained magic book in his hand, it was precisely for this reason that he chose to end Movas's life with such a bloody method just now, and what he was holding in his hand was an ice magic book.
It's a pity that Lin Xiu himself doesn't know how to use magic, although he can urge the attribute power of flames, but it is only a form of power.
The rest of the team is obviously not suitable for learning ice magic, and this magic book is only an intermediate existence, not even an S rank, so it really doesn't have much effect on him.
Another item caught his attention, and in a treasure chest lay a round crystal, which beckoned him to pick it up as if it were some kind of summoning.
"Traveler Lin Xiu, complete the quest to rest in peace, reward points of 500 points, get Meritia's beacon, activate the Meritia mission, task Dawnbreaker, complete the quest to get 800 points, reward the rare weapon Dawn Break."
Could this be the special reward that the goddess lord said? Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a believer in Meritia, this quest can be said to be a surprise, the Daybreaker was not a powerful weapon in the original game, but it was an artifact.
In this traveler-infested mission, would the apostles have made any changes?
After all, this is the mission of the Demon God, and the statue of Meritia is on the way to Dugu City, so this mission cannot be missed no matter what.
"Ah, mother seems to be much better, thank you for letting her sleep peacefully, I should go back to sleep, I'm happy to be with you, then my friend, although we may never see each other again, but I still want to remember your name, can you tell me?"
Helji said softly, although he had become a soul, but his tone was full of anticipation.
"Is it done? It's great, and I'm very happy with Helji, I wasn't going to say it, but as a friend, you have to remember, my name is Evangeline? Antanasia? Catherine? McDowell, it's long, but don't forget, my friend. “
In Evangeline's smile, Helge's soul dissipated, and the dawn sun was rising, dragging her figure long, long. (To be continued......)
