Chapter 163: Disguise
The human nobles who had been talking about it suddenly fell silent, and the crimson trickle passed around Lin Chen's feet, like a deadly poisonous snake coiled around their throats, so that they didn't dare to shake their vocal cords and attract attention.
"You're the new High Lord of the West?"
After Wei Keduo killed Jones, he directly fell his cold gaze on Lin Chen's body.
"Yes, sir."
Lin Chen's head was underground, his body trembled slightly, and even, under the strong influence of his subjective consciousness, a row of fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"You paid the most tribute, and your silver mines, weren't they attacked?"
Wei Keduo slowly approached, as if his anger had not subsided.
"No, my silver mine, like that guy, has been attacked by werewolf death, and the miners have all been infected and turned into beasts."
Lin Chen seemed to retreat because of fear, and when Wei Keduo approached him, his body kept trembling and retreating.
"Then how much profit are you going to use as a reward for my assistance?"
"Half! Halfway! ”
Lin Chen didn't care about the disdainful eyes of the nobles behind him, and shouted loudly while retreating in fear.
"Oh, really?"
A grim smile appeared on Wei Keduo's face, as if he was satisfied, but he kept approaching Lin Chen.
"Ahh
Sonia turned her head disdainfully, Lin Chen, a useless guy, was directly frightened and sat on the ground!
The civilian vampire sitting at the end couldn't help frowning, not because of Lin Chen's weakness, but because of Wei Keduo's aggressiveness.
"Uh......"
Without the slightest resistance, Lin Chen let Wei Keduo's chicken-like hand grasp his neck and lift it from the ground effortlessly.
"Eighty percent! Probably! ”
In Lin Chen's eyes, he kept rolling the whites of his eyes, as if he was out of breath, and increased his weight loudly, as if he shouted a little later, he would directly lose his breath.
"Don't you know that the new lord needs to pay double the tribute?"
Wei Keduo lifted Lin Chen's body over, let his hands struggle to break his immovable fingers, attached to his ear, and said arrogantly.
"All! All! As long as you can keep me safe, I am willing to hand over all the profits in the territory to you! ”
Before Wei Keduo's fingers tightened, Lin Chen "desperately" shouted this sentence.
"What an incompetent coward......"
Wei Keduo let go of his palm boringly, and Lin Chen's legs, who had suddenly lost support, went weak again, and he fell directly on the cold ground, gasping for breath for the rest of his life.
"But ......"
Wei Ke bowed more, and his sharp nails gently pressed against Lin Chen's pale cheeks, and scraped hard!
The facial muscles that were deliberately relaxed by Lin Chen were as fragile as ordinary people at the moment, and they were easily cut open by Wei Keduo's nails, and bright crimson liquid suddenly gushed out.
Wei Keduo licked the blood stained on his fingertips, nodded with satisfaction, and said expressionlessly, "I like it." ”
"I hope you keep this humility and fear, and now Jones's territory is yours."
Viktor turned around and waved his hand casually like a fly, motioning for someone to take the human nobles away.
It was still the civilian vampire who led the human nobles to leave, but his attitude towards Lin Chen had also undergone subtle changes because of the tribute.
"Your injuries need to be treated."
"It shouldn't affect my visit to the castle, right?"
Lin Chen glanced back with trepidation, covering the wound on his face with his hand, and tentatively probing in a joking tone.
“……”
The civilian vampire glanced at Lin Chen in surprise, he didn't expect this cowardly guy to dare to stay here!
"Of course, as long as you want."
I was stunned for a while, although the civilian vampire was a little strange, but he would not refuse the request of the big financier, it was just a little strange.
Lin Chen, who already owned the largest territory among the many human lords, now obtained a territory with the largest silver mine, and also promised to hand over all the profits in the territory.
As long as the werewolves in the silver mine are exterminated, then the silver coins paid by Lin Chen alone next year will exceed the sum of the others, or even more than double!
Just thinking about it, it was already able to make the eyes of these greedy vampires turn green, and he casually responded to Lin Chen's small request.
"I guess, I won't run into the Great Lord of Weiktor again, right?"
After a pause, Lin Chen's body trembled a little and asked.
"No, no."
The civilian vampire was relieved, it turned out that this guy was only afraid of Lord Weiktor, and he still retained a strong interest in this miracle castle.
After sending away the other human nobles, the guide and doctor found by the civilian vampire also came to the room where Lin Chen was arranged.
Whether it's a vampire or a werewolf, if they are injured, they either die or they are self-confident that they are healed, and they don't need a profession like a doctor at all.
However, in addition to vampires and werewolves, there are also a small number of human retinues and maids in the castle of Viktor, who will be sick and injured, so doctors can also be found in the castle.
When the guy dressed as a slave pounded several plants into thin mud and applied them to his face, Lin Chen turned his gaze to the vampire who was in charge of leading his tour.
"Distinguished guest, I will lead you on a tour of the castle next."
This vampire wearing guard armor may have received the advice of the civilian vampire, and he was quite polite to Lin Chen.
"Is it okay now?"
Lin Chen asked.
"Of course, whenever you want."
The vampire saluted slightly, the armor on its body crashing against each other with a crisp sound.
The castle of Weikeduo is really very large, and the ubiquitous passages make the best use of space!
Through this vampire's introduction, Lin Chen knew that the entire castle was divided into slave dungeons, vampire knight residences, and the highest vampire aristocratic residences.
Among them, the vampire nobles, who only account for less than a few thousand, occupy more than fifty percent of the space of the entire castle!
"I'm sorry, honored guest, but that's all we have to do here."
The vampire acting as a tour guide stopped Lin Chen in front of the passage, and Lin Chen continued to move forward.
"Why?"
Lin Chen frowned slightly, his eyelids jumped slightly, and his gaze showed signs of condensation.
"This is the exclusive area of the nobles in the castle, except for patrolling, we can't enter without permission, even if you are honorable."
The vampire shook his head and stopped in front of Lin Chen, leaving no gap.
“……”
The thoughts in Lin Chen's heart turned like lightning, and he quickly thought about the solution, if he couldn't figure out the situation in this aristocratic district, then everything he did would be meaningless.
"Okay, let's go to the dungeon and have a look, in my previous territory, there were always slaves who escaped, but I heard that half of the slaves never escaped from this castle."
After being silent for a while, Lin Chen suddenly opened his mouth and proposed.
The vampire then looked at Lin Chen with a strange gaze and said strangely, "The environment of the dungeon is dirty and damp, not suitable for you, are you sure you want to go?" ”
Dirty and damp, these four words are more deterrent to Lin Chen than the sea of swords, mountains and fires......
But......
"It's just to see, not to move there."
Lin Chen showed an elegant smile on his face and said slowly.
"Okay, please come with me."
The vampire was stunned for a moment, then agreed.
The environment of the dungeon was far worse than Lin Chen imagined, it was stinky, and the breath was very cold and damp, as soon as you entered, it made people feel very uncomfortable.
"We can always leave if you want."
The vampire was keenly aware of Lin Chen's frowning brows, and said at the right time.
"Okay."
Lin Chen nodded, but he didn't mean to leave, instead looked around with more interest, and asked the vampire from time to time about the role of some strange cells, and what was going on with the neck shackle around the new werewolf's neck.
To these, the vampire replied in a vague and vague manner, and did not tell the truth.
In this regard, Lin Chen just smiled lightly, he didn't really come to figure out these problems, he came to the dungeon just to find out the patrol rules here and find a cell. (To be continued.) )
