Chapter Seventy-Six: A Special Guest
The lone guest stood in the center of the hall on the first floor. Even when she entered the tower, she did not intend to lift her hood, and still covered herself tightly.
Two girls dressed up in energetic costumes and about to go out to train their dogs came to the hall. At the same time, the two big dogs, Gray Hoof and White Nose, also responded to the previous call and happened to block the gate. To those they had never seen before, they sniffed and sniffed at the somewhat familiar smell.
The guest noticed the two large monsters at the door, but she didn't panic, just turned her head and looked at the two girls who had just come out of the stairwell. She said, "Good day, I am a family member of Lady Dorothy, Cottauline. At the behest of my master, I came to visit the tower master. ”
"Dorothy?" Harumi tilted his head, somewhat unfamiliar with the name. After a while, as if she remembered something, she asked, "Vampires?" ”
"It's the Bloodline. Well, vampires are not wrong either. The guest's voice was a little helpless, and he admitted the name with a little contempt. Don't worry, I'm here with no ill intent. ”
The girls glanced at each other and ran up to the third floor at the same time, ready to pull their teacher's quilt. The two big dogs did not get permission to leave, so they simply sat down and blocked the gate. They recognized the smell, it was inedible meat, and they opened their mouths and yawned out of interest.
The visitors stood quietly and waited as if they didn't care. Before she came to the Great Sage's Tower, she was strictly instructed by her master not to do anything that angered him. Because that tower is like a natural enemy of the blood clan, killing vampires, no matter how many they are, is only within the snap of the tower owner's fingers.
Originally, as a powerful warrior ranked among the clans, she subconsciously despised the magicians who were still at the level of human life. But the possible reason why she appeared here made Kautauline have to restrain her arrogance and face the tower master with a decent attitude.
Not long after, the adult male tower master dressed in a bright mage robe walked out of the central stairwell. It was radiant and energetic. In fact, I was sleepy-eyed on the third floor, with messy hair, wearing a nightgown and holding my pillow. On the head, of course, is the helmet that controls the doppelganger.
Cotaurin tried to find something special about the person in front of her. But no matter how you look at it, except for the spiritual point, compared to the best of the human beings she has ever seen, the one in front of her can be said to be featureless. There is no domineering leak detection, no handsome and chic, and no shrewdness and ability. If you really want to say, it's just an ordinary person in the countryside, who takes care of a small store with that no big deal.
Lin obviously didn't have a good impression of the dark creatures that messed around twice. When he appeared, he asked, "Guest, why are you here?" ”
Hearing the obvious displeasure in her tone, Cortalyn was slightly angry and said, "Your Excellency, am I representing Dorothy? Najib Ladyess, to convey her kindness. You need not be so hostile. ”
"If there's really good intentions, show up. Hidden people can't be trusted. ”
In response to such a request, the hiding man stretched out his slender arm, intending to point to the ceiling, but in an instant it seemed as if he had been burned and burned, and his skin was open. She hurriedly withdrew her arm and said with a slight hesitation: "Then the light in Your Excellency's tower ......"
"Sorry for my mistake." With a snap of his fingers to reduce the bright lighting in the tower, Lin said, "This is a wavelength that simulates moonlight, and it shouldn't affect you." ”
Cortolyn reached out again to probe. This time there was no burning, and she lifted her hood, revealing her fair, bloodless face. Feeling the light in the tower a little, she unexpectedly found that the power in her body had grown slightly, and she said in amazement: "This is the full moon? ”
Daylight kills, but moonshine helps. In particular, the light of the full moon can add some strength to the two dark creatures of the blood clan and the transformation werewolf. If it weren't for the tower owner changing the lights, it would be a snap of a finger, and Kao Taolin would have tried to capture the other party.
However, the goal of this trip is not here, and with the current situation, there is no point in capturing the tower owner. Ka Taolin looked at the tower master with a gentle smile, but felt a little strange because of the inconsistency of the other party's expression and tone. But she still asked about the purpose of her trip: "Your Excellency, I wonder if one of the four elders of the Southwest Blood Clan, the Marquis of Mezaros, the Ancient One, has come to visit Guita?" ”
"Mesarosh?" Lin couldn't remember the name for a while, and asked, "Who is that?" ”
Slightly embarrassed, Kautaulin replied, "Is it Marton who offended the tower master before?" Bolog, the patriarch of his clan. ”
"There is no such person who has come to visit me. However, there was a group of people attacking the tower before, and there were vampires inside. I remember that your lady had promised me that the people of the Bloods would not come to me for that matter, and the whole army was killed. How do you explain this? ”
"Is it the army of the Marquis of Mesarosh?"
"I don't know. They killed themselves without claiming their identities, and they didn't have signs on them. I don't know who's who. ”
"And what about them now?"
"Well, the underworld. Or is it that the gods you believe in are collecting the dead? ”
…… Kao Taolin was stunned for a moment, suppressed her surprise, and said calmly: "Then I don't know if there are relics that can prove their identity." As if to disguise her original intentions, Coataulyn explained, "Because the whereabouts of each ancient person is very important news for us. Moreover, some time ago, the Marquis also lost contact with us and his whereabouts are unknown. That's why we want to be able to confirm our identity. ”
"Hmm." Looking at the eyes in front of her, she is not glamorous, but she can be regarded as a heroic and upright female vampire. Thinking of the conversation with the lady before, speaking of which, this one's background and that marquis' can be said to be opposite. So although he felt that the other party had a taste of wanting to cover up, Lin still nodded and said, "Come with me." ”
The loot was stacked in the corner of the weapons room, and with a wave of his hand, Lin's clone opened the locked door.
The shelves that were swept away more than a year ago are still empty. The only thing to add was the crossbow for the two girls hunting. According to the new ideas and designs, two crossbows with different characteristics have been remade, and a lot of enchantment has been required. I don't expect to be praised by my apprentices, I just want to be quiet.
When I first sold the things for a while, the atmosphere of the whole tower was resentful. When you make two slingshots, it's a double resentment. Now I don't know where the two slingshots are running, and I can't see them.
In the corner of the weapons room, the loot that had been sorted out was piled up. A pile of weapons, a pile of armor, and some knick-knacks were placed on silver platters on shelves, equally haphazardly arranged.
Lin Yi waved his hand, motioned for the guests to watch by themselves, and said, "Everything that is still complete is here." The remaining damaged items have been dismantled or reforged. You can look for it as much as you want. If there isn't one, then there isn't. Maybe it means that your marquis didn't die in the previous attack. ”
Nodding slightly, Cortaurin walked past the tower master and came to the haphazard pile of weapons and equipment. The closer she got and the more objects she recognized, the more frightened she became.
With winged ears on both sides, an upturned back and a nose guard on the front, the helmet is a powerful piece of armor known as the King of the Mountains, who was originally owned by a master of weapons among the Grey Dwarves. At the same time, I also saw the arm-length war hammer, the handle of the hammer was obtained by intertwining several strands of an old vine named Lausanne, and the hammer head was flat in front and sharp in the back, which could be smashed and nailed. This is also the proud work of the master weapon, and it is also a weapon that he carries with him.
A two-handed broadsword, with no blade at the root, is also for people to hold. The end of the hilt is inlaid with a topaz the size of a pigeon's egg, which is finely worked. This is a legendary weapon called the Rising Sun Star. The final owner is a Dark Elf Martial Arts Chief, and the strongest of the Dark Elf family among the allies of the Marquis of Mezaros. With this weapon with the power of daylight, he became the marquis's strongest killer against betrayers.
A huge bone, with several spikes stuck in the middle of the line, looked very rough, but it was a terrifying weapon. It is based on the leg bones of half of the ancient dragon species, and is paired with the Iron Spike of the Meteorite that has been cursed by different dark gods. Each time you squeeze it, you can hit a different negative effect, which can be said to be a nightmare for the enemy. This is the most trusted servant of the Marquis of Mesarosh, the personal weapon of the werewolf patriarch.
There are also several well-known weapons and armor, but now they are stacked randomly like groceries. It is completely impossible to see the former prestige, and it is difficult to imagine where its bearers, those warriors who are so powerful that people can admire, are now there.
It can be said that if he did not admit his mistake, the core strength that the Marquis of Mesarosh relied on would all be here, and none of them would have run.
However, the characteristics of these weapons are quite obvious, and the Mesarosh clan power is regarded as an imaginary enemy, and they are quite familiar with the details of these weapons and their wielders, and the chances of admitting mistakes are not high.
In other words, regardless of whether the marquis came in person or not, most of his power had already been abolished.
Look at the lighter objects, including earrings, rings, necklaces, belt buckles, armbands, wristbands, and so on. At a glance, Cottauline saw the large gold ring with a large ring and an intricate coat of arms. It was the Ring of the Clan Patriarch that the Marquis of Mezaroche never left him, a proof of the identity of the Ancient, and a symbol of power for the Elder's seat.
Did that powerful ancient man also fall in the Tower of the Great Sage?
In fact, in Dorothy? Under Najib's propaganda, all the bloods in the Southwest Peninsula knew that the inside of the Great Sage's Tower could shine a light with the same effect as the sun. So it's everyone's consensus not to enter the tower as much as possible.
But no one thought that the owner of the tower would be so mad that he would transform the entire tower's exterior wall to resemble a super-large flashlight, emitting light of the same wavelength as the sun. For vampires, it's a face-to-face kill, and there are no dead ends. Even in daytime clothes, like Cotaolin's original outfit, the floor can't help but let out sunlight upwards.
The laser mesh can be arranged, and it is nothing to have a little ultraviolet light.
However, Lin is not obliged to explain these things clearly to the blood clan. This dark race, which was once a human race, has the same inferiority, and no matter how much it says, it is all intimidation, excuses, or boasting. Only when it really hurts will it be impressive.
So in the previous meeting with Dorothy, Lin didn't choose to believe in that bullshit covenant. Killing the other party is much more effective than a piece of paper.
