"It's useless." Linus sighed. "Because of the curse, Darbar can find his place wherever Bard goes!"

Fan Kang's heart sank, and he completely lost the good mood of just getting the silver plot revolver.

He had planned to hide Bard and wait until the mission time was over to return directly to the Realm of Freedom. But who knew Darba still had this hand? You can find Bard's whereabouts at any time!

In fact, Fan Kang had a hunch for a long time, this third novice task can be said to be the most rewarding task, and the difficulty is definitely not so low! It turns out that if you want to complete the third mission, you really have to come into contact with the vampire count, and even fight!

"Stop the Vampire Count from killing Bard ...... within 72 hours"

Fan Kang silently pondered the mission requirements in his mind, and suddenly, a bold plan came to his mind: didn't the Free Realm ask the time-traveler to stop the vampire count from killing Bard? But it doesn't say that Bard must survive......

What if Bard didn't die at the hands of the vampire count? That mission should be considered complete!

If Fan Kang's speculation is true, then there are 2 ways to complete this third novice task.

The first is to fight the vampire count with the traverser's own strength, and at least ensure the safety of Bard, even if it can't be killed.

The second option is to kill Bard before the vampire count! As long as Bard doesn't die at the hands of the vampire count, it can be regarded as "preventing" to some extent!

There is no doubt that the second method is obviously much more secure than the first. No matter how strong Bard is, can he be stronger than the vampire earl?

Seeing Fan Kang's hesitation, Linus gritted his teeth and told another secret: "If you are worried that our strength is not enough to deal with Darba, I can reveal one more thing to you!" In fact, we still have helpers! ”

"Oh? As far as I know, Uncle shouldn't have the power to fight, right? ”

"That's right, I really can't fight anymore, otherwise Darba wouldn't have kept me alive!" Seeing that the cigarette in his hand had been smoked, Linus lit another cigarette and continued. "Maybe you've wondered why Darba didn't just kill me. The real reason is that Darba's vampire bride interceded for us, and we were able to reach that agreement with Darba. ”

Fan Kang narrowed his eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, the vampire bride was supposed to be Bud's lover before she became a vampire, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Linus's face immediately changed drastically. "Did Xia Li tell you? How could this girl say such an important thing? ”

"Charlie didn't tell me about it. Actually, when you talked about that agreement, I was already skeptical. If it weren't for the help of Darba's trusted people, how would you have survived until now? ”

Linus sighed.

"Now that you already know, there's no point in me hiding it. Karen wasn't originally from this town, but a girl Bard met while traveling. The two fell in love at first sight, and after establishing a relationship, they returned here together to settle down. But at that time, no one expected that on the way back to the town, they would encounter Darba! Darba covets Kalian's beauty, and not only injures Bud, but eventually turns Karen into a vampire as well. ”

"But now it seems that Darba is not going very well?"

"Yes, it stands to reason that a normal person will lose most of their memories after becoming a vampire. Perhaps it was God's mercy, or it seemed that the relationship between the two was too deep, and with Bard's continuous efforts, Karen finally regained her memories as a human. But after all, paper could not contain the fire, and soon after, Darba, who had gone out and rushed back, found out about this incident, and in a fit of rage, he came to Bad Xingshi to ask for his guilt. ”

Fan Kang sneered. "This thing is really a man, robbed someone else's wife, and he is so arrogant!"

"There's no way, this world is meant to speak with strength, your fists are big, and your words are the truth." Linus has experienced the ups and downs of life for most of his life, and he is not too angry about it. As he himself said, if the strength is not enough, even if he is resentful?

"That's when Uncle lost to Darba?"

Linus said bitterly, "Yes! Until then, I wanted to live in seclusion and live my life in peace. Retribution, perhaps...... While I still had the strength to resist, I was silent. When I tried to resist, I didn't have enough strength. ”

"Because of that curse?"

"That's right. If it weren't for the weakening of the curse, even if my strength was greatly reduced after I came out of the Dead Silence Cave, if I wanted to deal with Darba, the victory rate would still be above eighty percent! ”

More than eighty percent, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a steady victory. However, the weakened Linus was no longer able to defeat Darba, and the suppression of this curse can be seen. No wonder Bard always wanted to bring Fan Kang into the gang.

"Young man." Unknowingly, Linus changed his name to Fan Kang. "From my personal standpoint, I hope you can help Bard. But from Xia Li's standpoint, I don't want you to make it too difficult. All I can tell you is that if there is a fight, Karin will definitely be on our side. If you don't want to participate, then it's best to take Xia Li with you and leave the town early! ”

"Listening to your tone, it seems that Darba didn't know that Karene would be on the verge of defection?"

"That's right, so that's one of our strengths. In fact, in the last agreement, Karen's only helped Bard by severing her past affection - do you think, if a woman would ruthlessly abandon her former lover, would Darba dare to accept her? In doing so, Karen's trust was invisibly gained by Darba. Coupled with Kalian's very measured grasp, Darba did not suspect the resurgence of the old relationship between the two. ”

Fan Kang pondered. If, as Linus said, the vampire bride Karen, was on their side, then it would undoubtedly increase the stakes for Fan Kang to win. A cursed, weakened Bard, won't be of much use in the fight against Darba. But Karen, who is also strengthened by the Blood Curse, is a variable!

Seeing Fan Kang's resolute refusal at the beginning to his current hesitation, Linus knew that his words had moved Fan Kang.

"By the way, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. I lost all my combat power at the beginning, not because I was injured by Darba, but because I sealed all the remaining strength into Bard's sword. This part of the power has no effect on ordinary people, but it can counteract the curse power on Bard for a certain period of time. ”

Fan Kang secretly laughed at Linus's cunning, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Linus: "I promised you, but I'm curious, aren't you afraid that I will kill the werewolf and leave after using you?" ”

Linus smiled innocently and did not speak.

Fan Kang immediately remembered that this old man probably really thought that he was in love with Xia Li, and made it clear that he could run away from the monk and not run away from the temple.

There is no doubt that the vampire Count Darbar is powerful, but the benefits that can be obtained after killing are naturally extremely rich. Fan Kang has never been a person who follows the rules, and his mind is naturally more alive than ordinary people.

Originally, according to Fan Kang's plan, he planned to take the risk of killing Bud in order to complete the third novice mission. However, through a conversation with Linus, Fan Kang changed his plans. Wouldn't it be a double win if he could kill Darba with the help of Bard and Karen's hands? No! It can even be said that it kills three birds with one stone!

Because in the second mission, Fan Kang inevitably needs to kill the werewolf whirlwind. As Linus said, the werewolf has a lot of younger brothers, and without Linnas's help, Fan Kang would not have killed the whirlwind, even if he could fight him alone!

It can be said that the advantages of cooperating with Linus far outweigh the disadvantages, and Fan Kang has no reason not to agree.
