Following.

An open-air breakfast restaurant in the [smoke-free city].

"For a week, these are the usual breakfast items in Reykjavik: Skelle cheese, oatmeal, flat bread, cold smoked salmon."

Xia Xiu smiled with his hands on his chest, and continued to sell the food on the table enthusiastically with a cold face.

"He really didn't lie to you this time, you see which of these things looks abnormal, feel free to eat it." Turce on the side also joined Xia Xiu's camp and persuaded him to eat these delicacies in a week.

"Huh." Looking at these two good teammates who cheated on him yesterday, he smiled with an extremely false smile every week.

In the end, under the example of the blonde youth, it took a week to let down his guard and start eating the food. While eating, the topic of the three of them unconsciously began to go to yesterday's match between Bruch Francis in the Colosseum, after all, Francis's crazy match yesterday was impressive.

"Abraham, that showy guy of the Bruch family, you can solve it in the Colosseum, so how are the other vampires going to solve it? And as you said earlier, there are other vampires in [Smoke-Free City], and after killing one, we will face all the vampires in the entire [Smoke-Free City]. ”

The childish-looking Turce asked his doubts about the blonde youth in front of him in a melancholy tone, his brows were tight, and the fox tail behind him was subconsciously swaying from side to side.

The blonde youth is enjoying cold-smoked salmon, a Reykjavik specialty, usually served with bread or bagcakes; While chewing the food with his mouth, he held up the hot coffee to his lips, and the delicate ceramic cup was pressed against his lips, the refreshing aroma of coffee and the slightly hot temperature condensed in the air; The crispy bread, with its milky aroma and slightly salty taste, is intertwined with the taste of coffee to create a taste that is both rich and harmonious.

It was a great day.

Xia Xiu, who had never shied away from pleasure, couldn't help but squint his eyes comfortably, and he squinted his eyes slightly like an orange cat enjoying the sun.

"You don't seem nervous at all."

Tours was slightly unhappy with the blonde youth's loose performance.

"Take it easy, being too nervous won't help the situation." Xia Xiu unhurriedly put the steaming ceramic cup on the table.

"We have five enemies this time, I don't think our current forces can go toe-to-toe with five vampires whose strength is equal to [the Juggernaut], the most important thing is that we are in someone else's territory now, and we don't even know their weaknesses." Tours continued.

"I know that, so I'm going to tell you about the weaknesses of Gangero Emilio and Nosferatu Elias."

The blonde youth folded his hands and folded them over his abdomen, and then he began to speak in a calm tone about the weaknesses of Gangaro and Nosferatu.

"Vampire Deeds Three: Heart-piercing Arrows.

This is a common method of killing in many stories about vampires, although its details may vary from story to story or culture to culture.

The origin of this claim may have originated from medieval legends that believed that spears, swords, or other sharp objects could be used to kill vampires. This may be because sharp objects can inflict fatal damage on a vampire's heart, or because this way symbolizes the conquest of evil. Among them, wooden stakes or arrows are used in many stories to pierce the heart and kill vampires, especially in the legend of Ario.

The legend of the Heartpiercing Arrow has become a variant or generalization in modern Terra.

The transcendent armament was designed by the Piercing Gong through the deeds of the present world, and these powerful weapons are actually the huge conceptual projections of the [Aether Ocean], but the Piercing Gong did not set up [anchor points], and there was no such thing as [Virtual Particle Pair-type Reality Anchor] to eliminate the influence in his time - so the weakness of the vampire armament can be said to keep pace with the times, and it will change with the changes of folk deeds.

In modern vampire stories, "arrows" are used as a weapon to kill vampires, because it can effectively hit targets at long distances and has a certain dramatic effect.

Speaking of "Heart-piercing Arrows", we have to mention [Vampire Hunter Buffy], who often uses special Heart-piercing Arrows to kill vampires, and the people of [Mystery] hate him to the core. ”

The index fingers of Xia Xiu's crossed hands began to tap the backs of his hands up and down, while Tules and Zhou, who heard [Deeds 3] on the side, had serious and serious expressions.

"The Sword Suit [Twilight], this is the [Vampire Armament] obtained by the Gangaro Clan, and the spirit that houses it is called [Edward Cullen]. The most troublesome thing about this weapon is actually two abilities - [Psychic Perception], which can sense the thoughts of anyone within its user's line of sight, so as to predict the enemy's next move in advance and improve combat efficiency; It is possible to access their thoughts and emotions by touching each other, and it is also possible to control their thinking if necessary. It's [Powerful Telepathy]. ”

"So when you see him, it's best to shoot the Heart-piercing Arrow into his heart at once. I like to do it myself, but I hate it when my enemies are cold, so you have to be tough. ”

After hearing about Gangero Emilio's weaknesses, Tours and Zhou began to look at each other, and after a brief eye contact, the two began to mentally consider the possibility of killing each other.

"What are the manufacturing requirements for this Heartpiercing Arrow?" Zhou Zhou asked Xia Xiu.

"I've got a sketch here, you should remember the ironbearded dwarf you saw yesterday. I think he must have scraped together enough ransom to redeem his [Dwarven Hammer], and he should have redeemed the hammer from [Financial Street] in the past two days, you can go to him to build the Heart-piercing Arrow, after all, the dwarves' craftsmanship is not to be said. ”

Xia Xiu took out the drawings he had drawn last night and handed them to Tours, who reached out and took them.

"No wonder you were so enthusiastic about that dwarf before."

Turce replied to the blonde youth as he looked at the drawing, his gaze already on the dense [Construction Runes] of arrows on the drawing.

[Construct Runes] is one of the core technologies of the Dwarves, or the [Alpine Alliance] in the past, they have three hundred and sixty-seven basic runes, each of which represents a basic spell casting effect; Thirty-six base runes can form a tectonic plate, while twenty-four tectonic plates can form a driving engine.

Technically, the [Alpine Alliance] is no worse than any other force, but the production efficiency is too low, and they directly announce GG under the [Mobile City] urbanization assembly line weapon production and over-the-horizon fire.

"After all, the only ones who still have the old-fashioned technology of runes are still mastered, and they have always held on to the past honor and refused to let go, and the [Sky Island] of the mages in the past was driven by runes, even the Three Portlands. But now in this year, which enclave still has rune technology, even the Three Portlands have completed their industrial upgrading a long time ago, replacing rune technology with a lineage drive. ”

On the production of extraordinary energy, the lineage completes the rune; In terms of skill and precision, [Entified] and Think Tank are even more pressing the runes to the floor and rubbing them hard.

There is more room for development in the old technology of runes, but it is too inefficient compared to the new version of the lineage - just like steam technology and electricity technology during the Industrial Revolution, the former can indeed develop more potential, but it is not necessary. In the face of more efficient and convenient energy technology, it is quickly obsolete.

However, this old-fashioned runic technique can be somewhat useful for crafting personal weapons.

As a scholar, Turce carefully put away the drawings after carefully examining the design of the Heart-piercing Arrow, and then asked the blonde youth about the weakness of the second vampire with anticipation.

"What about Nosferatu Elias's weakness?"

The blonde young man raised his right hand as if it was a knife to his neck, and there was a bright smile on his handsome face.

"Vampire Deeds Four: Decapitation.

Decapitation, as a vampire's weakness, is common in many vampire lores and cultures.

This notion is based on the ancient belief that the power of life resides in the blood and in the head.

In the past in Terra, the deeds of vampires were widely circulated, and vampires were depicted as evil undead creatures who haunted the night and sucked the blood of humans, turning them into the same beings. To prevent the vampires from continuing to do evil, people need to find the bodies of the vampires and then take special measures, such as inserting the heart or even cutting off the head, to ensure that they can never be resurrected again.

The severed head is also a symbol of human life, once it is gone, it cannot be resurrected. Just as a vampire is decapitated and can no longer move, it symbolizes a final, irreversible perception of death. Therefore, the severed head setting of vampires is, to a certain extent, a reflection and expression of life and death in human culture.

For the image of the vampire, the act of decapitating also represents a human desire and fear for the end of the undead, not only from a deep fear of death, but also from the unattainable yearning for eternal life.

Human beings fear death and yearn for eternal life, but at the same time, they are also afraid of those creatures who have reached eternal life, but have lost their humanity and become ruthless because of it. For these creatures, the setting of the severed head seems to express a kind of hope that even the life that cannot be eroded by the years will not be able to resist the eventual arrival of death. ”

"Of course, dealing with the severed head of Nosferatu is not an ordinary severed head, he needs to cut off the opponent's head, so that the opponent's head and body are 50 kilometers apart, and keep it for more than a day; The maximum length of the fog from west to east is about 51.5 kilometers, and the maximum width from north to south is about 50.1 kilometers, which means that after cutting off his head, he must immediately run away with his head, and he must run almost a distance the size of the fog. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Xiu also deliberately said to Tours for another week:

"The sword in Nosferatu's hand is called [Night Hunter], and the spirit of this sword is [Helsinkamen], and his main ability is [Demon Eye], which can perform indiscriminate stiff intimidation; [Blood Chains], which can automatically seek enemies, and [Hell], which is similar to an enchantment. ”

"Sounds very difficult, if this guy wants to kill quickly, he will have to kill me and a week."

Turce rubbed his brow with a little headache, and then he continued to ask the blonde young man in front of him, who didn't feel any nervousness:

"Now the difference is time, if you plan to do it on the 100-person fast dragon ship in a week, we can only choose one of the two to assassinate, and then we can only kill people and run away immediately."

"You don't have to be nervous about running away, I promise that the arrangement is clear."

Xia Xiu said as he curled the corners of his mouth, and continued to Turce with a sunny face:

"And don't you think it's disrespectful to the local gang to kill two and run away? Even if the local gang behaves very rudely to us, we, as good people, should let them stay together as a family. ”

The blond-haired and golden-eyed young man slowly raised his head, and a smile as bright as the sun bloomed on his handsome face; His golden hair shone like gold, reflecting his handsome countenance; The sun shines through his hair, illuminating his silhouette brightly, making him look like a boy next door.

This kid is going to do something again·······

Turce and Zhou thought in their hearts.

"You two go to the iron-bearded dwarf to craft the Heart-piercing Arrow, and before they have re-mortgaged their hammers, I'll have to go to the [Dacia Prison] in the Smokeless City to receive our new teammates."

Xia Xiu stood up and made the final arrangements for the two, while Turce and Zhou naturally had no other opinions.

And after determining everything, Xia Xiu couldn't help but look at the sky, and at this time, subtle raindrops dripped from the umbrella surface of the parasol above the open-air restaurant.

It's raining.

******

Smoke-free Dacia Prison.

In the smoke-free city in May, the scene near the prison is shrouded in a dense curtain of rain.

The drizzle fell on the earth like silk, gently and evenly, and the sky was obscured by gray clouds, completely engulfing the light of the sun, casting a pale color over the land.

The rain pierced the silence of the earth, making a faint rustle when it fell on the grass and leaves; When the wind blows through the smoke-free city, the sound of raindrops echoes in the ears, as if nature and the world are in close dialogue at this moment; The walls of the prison were even more desolate by the rain, and the condensed water droplets on the walls slid down the texture like tears in the mist.

At this time, Valdarson Broly, who was in the deepest part of the prison, slowly opened his eyes, and his chilling eyes began to look out through the prison bars.

The mountains in the distance loom in the mist, blurring the boundaries and giving a mysterious and eerie feeling; Rainwater cascades down the mountain stream from the top of the mountain, forming a stream like a silver ribbon that silently crosses the valley; The stream laps against the rocks, making a low, melodious sound, like nature's own singing.

Around the prison, moss-covered stone walls emit an air of antiquity and silence.

The rain dripped on the walls, leaving slender streaks of water, adding to the desolation and loneliness of the prison, and the prisoners may have gazed out through the windows, staring at the rain outside, and their hearts were entangled in endless thoughts.

Knock Knock Knock –

Broly's heart began to beat inexplicably, he felt something unspeakably huge approaching him, the silent blood in his body was beginning to boil, and the familiar bloodlust began to spread throughout his body.

"The wicked let him forsake his ways, and the unrighteous let his thoughts be put away."

Broly folded his hands and lowered his head to begin to repent of his boiling blood.
