Chapter 3: The Duke and the Witcher

On the first night of complete control of his body, Leon slept very unsteadily.

I had several nightmares in a row.

The content of the dream was similar, and the mother and daughter of the Di family noticed his strange appearance, and the three sisters, who had become hideous and terrifying, took turns to come on the field, piercing his body with iron hooks that were cold and bright, and hanging him in the air.

The dark red blood gushed out like money, and soon merged into a small river on the ground, and the four mother and daughter laughed happily on the side.

He wailed and begged for mercy, but in exchange for an even worse torment.

Achina even bathed directly with his blood, and said that it was good for the skin.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Leon could settle down, but before he could sleep for long, he suddenly felt something heavy on his body, and he couldn't breathe.

This feeling of suffocation was very uncomfortable, causing Li Ang's already small sleepiness to completely dissipate, and he reluctantly opened his eyes.

Then I saw that Bella was crawling on top of him, hugging his neck and sucking hard.

Outside the window, it was already bright.

Li Ang sighed when he saw this, fortunately he was a traverser who knew the inside story, otherwise if he was someone else, he would see his fiancée crawling on top of him and sucking blood as soon as he opened his eyes, and he would probably be scared to death.

Besides, where is he Bella's fiancé, it is clearly a humanoid blood bag, and if it continues like this, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will be sucked into a dry corpse.

At the same time, when Bella saw him wake up, she reluctantly let go of her mouth, stretched out her tongue to lick the remaining blood on her lips, and greeted Leon with a smile.

"Good morning, dear!"

"Good morning." Leon replied nonchalantly, reaching out and trying to push Bella, who was clinging to him, away.

As a result, after pushing a few times, the other party did not move.

"Hee-hee." Bella smiled happily, and then continued to kiss and bite his face, neck, chest, and other parts, and said vaguely:

"You smell so good."

"I really want to eat you little by little now, so we can be together forever!"

Listening to this strange love story, Li Ang was about to be scared to death, but fortunately, Bella was just talking, and she didn't really die.

But this is enough to make him wake up, it is not enough to just hold on, at least he has to have some self-protection ability.

Suddenly, Leon thought of a key person, the Duke who sold him to the castle.

As a businessman, this person acts as a guide in the game, helping the protagonist Ethan through difficult times on several occasions, and a lot of key plot information comes from him.

Paradoxically, the Duke and Archyna also have a good relationship, and the two belong to a cooperative relationship.

Such a double-faced behavior was ignored by Miranda, the mother goddess of the local ruler.

In short, a character with a mysterious background.

In a previous life, gamers speculated that the Duke might be the embodiment of the Fungus Master (the source of the Blessed Mold), but Capcom (the game production company) explained that he was just an ordinary businessman.

Whatever the true identity of the Duke was, Leon thought he had to meet the mysterious figure.

Even if he doesn't help himself as much as he helps the protagonist Ethan, you can try to buy something from him that saves his life.

It would be nice to get some news from the Duke about the original form.

Just do it, Li Ang's execution has always been good.

"Bella, my good wife, can you walk around with me? I want to get acquainted with the environment in which I will live in the future. ”

Bella was pleased with his salutation, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with delight.

"Good!"

Soon, Leon got dressed with Bella's help and walked out of the room where he had been lying for a long time.

As a veteran player who has cleared the game for two weeks and has cleared the cloud several times, he is more familiar with the castle under his feet than the mother and daughter of Achena.

Even some of the secret passages that the four mothers and daughters didn't know, he knew.

But now I can only pretend to be stupid, ask curiously, and at the same time pretend to be very weak, and I have to be supported by Bella when I walk.

After grinding for more than ten minutes, one person and one insect walked out less than fifty meters.

In the end, Bella really ran out of patience as Leon expected, and directly left him alone to play elsewhere.

Easy to handle!

After all, as a mutant who can turn into a swarm at any time, her personality is still very lively, and it is really a torment for her to walk with Li Ang step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

"Bella?"

"Bella, where have you been?"

After a few calls and no reply, Li Ang's hanging heart was finally able to relax for a while.

He drove through the corridors full of works of art and paintings, down the stairs to the first floor of the castle, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, even the decorative vases.

A lot of the game's materials are hidden in these inconspicuous places, and now it's no exception.

When he arrived at the door of the merchant's room on the first floor, Leon already had a bunch of things in his arms.

A box of bullets of an unknown model.

Black powder with a high probability of being damp.

Dozens of shoddy silver coins engraved with the head of the mother goddess Miranda.

It looks very translucent white crystal X3.

A few messy clutters.

Credits are easy to understand and are the universal currency in the game; Crystalline analogous gemstones, which can be exchanged for money; Sundries and black powder are placed in the hands of the protagonist Ethan, and they can rub out bullets and even mines, but unfortunately Leon doesn't have that skill.

He just had the attitude of trying it out, collecting it, hoping to exchange something at the Duke's.

Holding the pile, Leon looked sideways.

A few meters away, the gate leading to the outside of the castle, seemed to take a few dimes to achieve the freedom he had always dreamed of.

It's a pity that it can't be pushed.

Outside the gates, there were many mutant minions made by Achyna, and werewolves and living corpses roaming the villages a little farther away, and whether or not Leon was the son-in-law of the Dimitrescu family, it was a good meal to be caught.

Therefore, he could not leave the castle without means of self-preservation.

Taking a deep breath, Leon pushed open the wooden door of the merchant's house, but fortunately there were no moths, and the duke's fat body came into view.

Another giant that surpasses ordinary people.

The Duke may not be as tall as the Lady of Eight Feet, but he is definitely several times as wide as hers.

The oversized suit, which was enough to fit into a few cows, was put on by him to the effect of a straitjacket, and the three pitiful buttons on his chest seemed to be about to burst.

The belly that can't be covered by clothes is exposed, and the fat is layered on top of each other, and I feel tired of looking at it more.

Wearing a short thick finger full of various rings, he holds a cigar and snorts beautifully, swallowing the clouds and mist, making it impossible to see his true face.

"Ah——, what a rare guest, look who's coming!"

The duke's voice dragged out, and a kind smile hung on his oily fat face.

"Good day, Mr. Vladimir."

"Good day, Mr. Duke." Li Ang hid the true emotions in his heart and politely replied: "Just call me Li Ang." ”

"Yes, Mr. Leon." The duke's smile became brighter and brighter, and his facial features were crowded together.

Li Ang always felt that the duke's expression was a little strange, but he didn't have time to delve into it, so he simply went straight to the point and clarified the meaning:

"Mr. Duke, listen to Bella, you are the biggest merchant in the neighborhood."

"I want to buy something."

The duke took a big sip of his cigar and poured another sip of wine into his mouth: "Haha, of course you can, you have money to take money, and you can exchange things." ”

"Where you can make money, there is me!"

As he spoke, the Duke lowered his body and approached Leon, his huge body was like a collapsed mountain, and a terrifying sense of oppression came to his face.

"Then may I ask Mr. Leon, you... What do you want to order? ”

Li Ang swallowed his saliva unconsciously, trying to keep his composure: "How much is this pile of things in my arms worth?" ”

The Duke did not answer, but joked: "You should apply for some pocket money with your wife." ”

Without waiting for Leon to react, he continued, "You know, no matter how useless things are, they should have their value, what do you say, Mr. Leon? ”

With that, he freed his hand to hold the wine bottle, and with a light grab, he took away all the things that Li Ang was full of.

Then he scattered his hands on the several cases in front of him.

"Let me see..."

"Miranda's coins, hehe, sir, you can't exchange a privately minted counterfeit currency for my hard currency."

"Black powder that can bring out water, tsk, I've got better here!"

"Bullets? It's best to keep it for yourself, I'm just a businessman, and I don't like to fight and kill. ”

Finally, the Duke looked at the mess of miscellaneous things, overflowing with disgust:

"I take back what I just said, and the garbage should be sent to the garbage heap."

Seeing that the materials he worked hard to loot were devalued and worthless, Li Ang was depressed and kept scolding the profiteers in his heart.

Co-author Ethan sells anything, and it's all worthless to me, right?

Don't the difference be so obvious!

"But—" The Duke picked up a piece of white crystal, and put it in front of him to examine it carefully: "This thing is still a little valuable, I want it!" ”

He put away the three crystals, and swept the case with his fat hand.

Then, as if by magic, he turned over his hand and conjured four things, which were neatly placed on several cases.

"Let's pick one, Mr. Leon."

"Three crystals can only be exchanged for one thing?" Leon vaguely remembered that a piece of crystallization in the game was worth thousands of pieces.

The Duke smoked a cigar and looked at him from above: "Or... Do you go to someone else? ”

In the game, you're a businessman, so who else can I find!

Leon suppressed the anger in his heart and focused on those four things.

A black pistol with a bandage on the hilt, which looks heavy and should be genuine.

A bottle of liquid medicine with no known efficacy.

A dagger with a curved blade and a sumptuous shape.

As well as, a badge with a silver chain.

The further back he looked, the heavier Leon's breathing became, because the provenance of the latter two items was extraordinary.

The knife, called the "Dead Flower Short Knife", was inherited from antiques from the Middle Ages, and the blade was coated with poisons from all over the world.

It also has another use, an important item for killing the Lady of Eight Feet.

The poison on the blade can suppress Madame's perverted self-healing ability and make her body unbalanced.

Leon didn't know why it was in the duke's hands, and he didn't know what the duke's intention was to take it out, but Leon knew that he definitely couldn't choose.

At least not yet.

As for the last item, from the moment it appeared, Leon's subconscious told him that this must be chosen.

Because its full name is "Wolf School Witcher Badge".
