Section A: Chapter 18: Vampire Device (Seresa)

"What's so troublesome? just find a bucket of pig blood and pour it up. Waving his hand impatiently, the mad dog felt a tingling pain in his palm: "There are so many wild boars here, it's not convenient to get buckets of blood?"

"Now it's all because of the black ice, and everyone eats the food they have stockpiled. Where can I get you pig's blood?" Helplessly throwing down this sentence, the knight was about to say something more, but was interrupted by the footsteps of Deerno and the others.

"Yo, you've come just in time. Turning his eyes off the drops of blood that kept dripping to his feet, Mad Dog opened the door and shouted, "Send someone to bring a bucket of blood, Denor!

"Huh, what blood?" was stunned, and the adjutant stumbled and asked, "What do you want it for......?"

"Open the door with it! Anyway, any blood, if you can get it. Pointing to the black door behind her, Ceresya looked impatient: "This thing is made of Nether Iron, and it has a mechanism that can only be effective by sucking blood." Blood must be sprinkled evenly over the entire handle at the same time. These guys actually want a few people to cut their palms and hold it together!"

"Isn't that going to work?" Scratching his head, Derno said incoherently, "But, maybe it doesn't bleed enough." ”

"Hmph, there are still people who understand. The burning pain in the palm of his hand stimulated his nerves, and Mad Dog felt as if his whole hand was about to burn: "Then go get blood—Lusa, what do you want to do!"

Pulling back her sister who wanted to pierce the artery in her wrist with a dagger, Seresa gritted her teeth and snatched the belt of the weapon pinned into her waist: "I don't need you to harm yourself, it hurts to think about it! I will confiscate your dagger first, and I will return it to you if you behave well." ”

"Woo......" Hanging her head in frustration, Lusha shrank timidly: "It's just a little blood, it's normal for Aya?"

"What do I care about you? It's not normal to me anyway. With a stern expression, the mad dog showed an incomprehensible aura, looked at the soldiers who were being called to collect blood, and suddenly thought of a question: how did they faint the bucket filled with blood into the ground?

This suspicion was quickly verified. Soon two guards arrived with buckets, which were still tied to the handles. Smelling the bucket that had frozen and lost its fishy smell due to the cold, Mad Dog frowned: "What kind of blood is this, why can't I smell it?"

"Eagle blood. Hurriedly answering, Deerno said excitedly: "It just so happened that my uncle and they had an eagle in the suburbs this morning. ”

"Oh, your second uncle who opened a restaurant, right? Lao Tzu was almost poisoned there, I'm really impressed," Hearing the word eagle meat, Mad Dog couldn't help but swallow his saliva and put on a serious expression: "Last time, Lao Tzu didn't care about your compensation, I think this time ......"

"Understood, understood. Stunned for a moment, Deerno had to deal with it with a bitter face: "That...... I'll take you to eat eagle meat later. He was also going to keep the eagle meat for his own food. ”

Damn, that's pretty fast! I like smart people like you.

I'm going to have to try the eagle meat tonight...... Sure enough, I didn't blackmail them last time, but I did the right thing.

"What's so embarrassing?" Coughing dryly, Ceresya grinned maliciously, "But if you have to insist, we can't help but accept it." ”

"......Ahh

Uncle, just praised you and regressed...... Snorted, the mad dog pretended to be unintentional and said loudly: "And I seem to have died of illness these days if I don't drink orange juice, it's so uncomfortable......"

"Ah, we have fresh oranges in our store, too. Immediately realized, Deerno hurriedly added: "You can drink as much as you want." ”

"You're too bad!" the knight frowned and rebuked, "It's all blackmail?"

"Then you won't eat it. Anyway, Lao Tzu has to go. With a grin, the mad dog slammed the barrel and splashed blood on the door. Almost drenched in blood, the elf hurriedly flashed to the side.

Blood soaked the doorknob in an instant, and was slowly sucked into the door. After a while, there was a crisp sound behind the door, and then silence fell. Unable to wait for all the blood to drain away, Mad Dog kicked open the door and tossed the bucket aside.

The space presented to several people is a square stone hall with heavy bricks everywhere, surrounded by many ancient utensils and dark gray stone statues of various postures. Several of them were brought down, as if they had been slammed into by something.

From the ground and the stacking of goods, it is vaguely obvious that a small army has been here, but there are not too many of them. But the scale of these dozens of people was completely in line with expectations - in the original prediction, the enemies who infiltrated Eternal Winter City were less than a hundred.

"These people have already shifted their positions, and they are really not stupid. Lowering his head, the mad dog's eyes fell on the blood that began to spread from his feet to the corners: one of the monsters that had escaped that day had been crushed under the stone statue and had been dead for a long time.

"It looks like it hit the statue. Approaching the monster, the knight lowered the torch slightly: "Because of his injuries, he was exhausted, and finally crushed to death under the stone statue." ”

"It seems that not every corrupter can be resurrected. With a snort, Mad Dog looked around, and the voice of the elf came to his ears: "The monster's death here probably means that there is no other exit." ”

"Maybe it was then. But when the enemy's troops withdraw, they must also use teleportation circles and the like. After a moment of thought, the knight looked at the guards who had already begun to investigate separately, and looked at the disc in Lusa's hand: "There should be some other mechanism that leads to a deeper level." The underground ruins can't be that big. ”

Looking around, Mad Dog was very disappointed: That's it? That's all? Is it funny, I just came here to see some broken statues?

Feeling that I had suffered a loss, the mad dog frowned: although it was originally a blank cut.

Damn, in fact, Lao Tzu is very afraid of pain! Feeling the pain in her palm getting more and more, Cereya was ashamed: Did the person who designed this bloodsucking mechanism in the first place want to make people lose too much blood and die? But such a high-end mechanism is simply unreasonable to use to protect a room where there is nothing.

Do those corruptors have to splash blood every time they come? Surely this fucking thing isn't the only exit.

"Then focus on finding suspicious mechanisms. Agreeing, Lucina looked around in surprise: "This place is not far from the Bachelor's Tower, maybe it's really connected?"
