Chapter 414: A Night of Blood
"By the way, Merlo, have you researched that book?" Xing Han smoothly conveyed the magic power, and Merlo was holding the book and lying on the empty seat next to her, slowly flipping through it.
"Not yet, hey, stupid Lan, are you sure this is Duke Windrider's favorite book?"
"Of course, because it was the original book by Basanrinik, my father always cherished it. There was only one on the shelves that was the most meaningful to him, and he shouldn't be mistaken. Lan reaffirmed.
"What's wrong?' From Merlo's face, it probably didn't look hopeful, after all, it was a random guess among so many books, and if there was really anything useful in it, it could only mean that Merlot's luck was really good!
"There's nothing peculiar about this book, nay, did this writer named Basanrinik write any other books after that?" Merlo checked the cover and table of contents, which were blank, and simply wrote the outline of the book.
Lan hesitated for a moment and said: "It seems to have been written, but in the end it was not very famous, and it was closed a few years ago, and now I don't know where to live an ordinary person's life." ”
"This book tells the story of a woman who is forced to go out to work for life reasons to earn money to support her three daughters, and no other characters have been introduced in the whole article, and the events are also very simple, and the daily life is recorded in detail, just like a diary, but such a book is not very popular with people. Merlo closed the book with some weakness, the contents of which really did not interest her.
"Do you mean we found the wrong book?" asked Xinghan.
Merlo shook her head: "Probably not, because there are a lot of unreadable places in this book, typos and some other keywords have been crossed out by the author, and now there is no other information other than the original plot." ”
"So what are we going to do? We're going to the manor tomorrow night to investigate. ”
"If we can find this writer......"
"Impossible. Lan interrupted Merlo firmly.
"Huh?"
"Basanrinik should be in the third or fourth estate now, and it will take a long time to go back, not a month that can't be done. ”
"Mr. Xinghan, do you believe Sister Camuel?" Merlo asked suddenly.
Xing Han was stunned by Mei Luo's question, but still nodded: "Of course, how can you say that she is also your sister." ”
"That's easy, I'll let Sister Kamuel investigate the writer named Basanrinik for the time being. ”
"That's going to take a long time. ”
"Listen to me," Merlo said, glancing at Ran, who interrupted her, and continued, "Let's keep an eye on Maxelle's movements, I don't think the purpose of her coming here today is necessarily as simple as killing those soldiers, and Sister Camuel will give us an answer in a week." ”
"Will you settle Misdale in a week...... How can it feel more difficult than yesterday's plan......" Hoshihan sighed.
After repairing Lan's wounds, the three of them left the café and returned to the King's City, where Lan's physical strength was used up too much to maintain his magic power, and he rushed into the room without moving as soon as he got home. Night is slowly falling, and the villa behind the palace looks very calm, and the broken star has not yet returned, and her breath cannot be felt in the entire city of kings.
"Goo~"
Xing Han stood up helplessly, the kitchen and hall of this palace are connected, the ingredients are very complete, Merlo seems to have given up the book called "Despair", and has to rely on the power of Camuel to get the information she wants, just now she shot the magic arrow of credit for help to the second level, the magic arrow shot from the city of kings will track the target until the content of the letter is seen by the recipient, so it will be more convenient to use than in other classes.
"Merlo, it's late, it's time to sleep. Xing Han yawned and glanced at the time, just when the monitoring system had just failed, but he didn't have any purpose tonight, he didn't have a good rest for two nights in a row, I hope nothing happens today.
"Oh. Mei Luo looked at Xing Han, who had just come out of the bathroom, and ran to the bathroom with a smile while holding her nightdress, "Good night meow~"
"Click!" the bathroom door quickly locked, and soon the sound of showers could be heard inside, and at the same time, the dimly lit living room wall suddenly rippled, and the ripple was exactly where the blood of the soldiers had splashed during the day.
The "Pur ......" wall made a strange sound, and after a moment it returned to silence.
The water in the shower suddenly stopped, and Merlo turned on the switch, wiped her hair and body with a bath towel briefly, and then changed into a nightdress and left the dark bathroom.
"Squeak-" The door slowly opened, and the living room was pitch black at this time, and Xing Han glanced at the crack in the door a little nervously.
"Mr. Xinghan, I'm in. ”
"O Merlo...... I see, come in, it's cold outside. Xing Han relaxed, and forgot about Merlo who was still taking a shower in the bathroom for a while, but this kind of place is not accessible to everyone, and the door is made of something I don't know what it is made of, it looks extremely sturdy, and when he first came here, the captain of the soldier also used his sword to insert his sword into the instrument next to the door so that he could barely talk to Lan.
Mei Luo tiptoed to the side of the bed, and after glancing at the two sets of quilts on the bed, she seemed a little disappointed, this must be a good thing that Lan was doing while she was away.
"What's wrong?" Merlo stood on the edge of the bed and didn't come up, rubbing her hands back and forth on her arms, "Hey, if you don't want to catch a cold, you'd better come up quickly, this is not the second level, and the magician's physique will be very weak." ”
"Hmm. Merlo nodded lightly and climbed onto the bed to wrap herself in the quilt.
"Don't you sleep?"
"My hair is wet, so I'll be fine in a while. The ends of Merlo's long red hair are still dripping, and it looks like it is impossible to do it for half an hour, "Mr. Xinghan doesn't have to worry about me, you haven't had a good rest in the past few days, have you?"
"Ah, that's what I'm saying, then I'll go to sleep first. ”
"Boys' hair always dries quickly......"
"Did you say anything?"
"No, no, good night Mr. Xinghan. Merlot hurriedly looked out of the window, the window could only be opened from the inside, I don't know how it worked, but it seemed safe.
"Hoo ......"
The wind whistled outside, and today seemed to be the full moon in the city of kings, and the bright moonlight cast into the window, and Merlot turned off the lamp, but even then the moonlight was enough to serve as a slightly pale lamp.
Unconsciously, Merlo's eyes gradually became a little unable to open, and her head became heavier and heavier, so she didn't care if her hair was dry or not, but lay directly on the pillow. Xinghan turned his back to Mei Luo, who seemed to have fallen asleep, and Mei Luo chuckled twice and slowly closed her eyes.
"Sand ...... Sand ......"
"Uh...... What ......"
About a few hours later, Merlo was awakened by a slippery touch on her thighs, and she hurriedly lifted the covers, only to see a slimy piece of blood clot attached to her smooth leg!
"Ah!!h
Merlo tore the blood clot off her leg with all her might, and shook Xinghan beside her with trembling hands.
"Mr. Xinghan, wake up!"
The blood clot torn off by Merlot did not stay on the ground honestly, but squirmed and crawled towards the window, Merlo looked at the window along the blood clot, but she didn't expect that the glass of the window was densely covered with blood clots about the same size!
"What's wrong......
Xing Han realized that something was wrong, and lifted the quilt, and only then did he see a bright red soft substance on his left hand through the moonlight through the crack in the window.
"Cut, what is this?" tore off the blood clot and threw it on the ground, his left arm suddenly sank violently, and he couldn't even lift it, "What's going on......"
"Mr. Xinghan, go and see Lan!" After Mei Luo's reminder, Xinghan turned over and got out of bed and ran to the door of the room.
And at the same time, Merlo, who came down from the other side, suddenly fell to the ground for some reason, Xinghan didn't go any further, the place where she fell was just below the group of monsters, if they swarmed down at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Mero, are you okay?" Xing Han grabbed the quilt on the bed and slammed it against the window, and was about to pull Mero up with his left hand, but the feeling of loss hit again, "Damn...... What the hell is this?!"
Merlo struggled to her feet with her hands on the ground, her expression seemed to understand something, and she shouted, "Don't get touched by those things!"
Xing Han reacted quickly, if those monsters like blood clots were sucked by them, I am afraid that the strength of a certain part of the body would be taken away by them, just now that thing was lying on his left arm, and now the whole arm is in a state of paralysis, and he can't use his strength at all!
Carrying Merlo all the way to the living room, her right leg had been touched by those things like her own arm, and she could deal with it if she had magic in her hand, but in this case, she had to find some weapons that would not be at a disadvantage and inform Ran, who was sleeping in another room.
"Mr. Xinghan, there are also here. Merlo exclaimed, pointing to the ceiling.
"Damn, Merlo, let's go!" Xing Han glanced at the entire hall, except for the knives in the kitchen, Lan's weapons didn't know where to put them, but it was better to have something to defend himself in his hand than nothing.
A fruit knife that was pulled out and inserted in the knife holder, Xing Han quickly turned back, and at this time, those blood clots slowly squirmed together, and they were gradually turning into a humanoid silhouette!
"What the hell is this......"
The blood clot condensed into the shape of a soldier, and the long sword in his hand slashed swiftly towards Xinghan.
To Xing Han's surprise, this soldier who was condensed by countless blood clots was so slow, and a guy of this level could easily calm him down even without using magic.
"Hey, don't take me for a bully!
