"They fled."

Winkel glared at his chief of staff. "What do you mean by 'they ran away'?" The food did not escape!

Manlin Victor sighed in embarrassment as a dozen monstrous priests imitated Winkel. They were all standing outside the Gogolin Temple, which had been occupied by ghoul soldiers. “Lave

e appears elsewhere on the map. She must have teleported away in an instant when we moved in. ”

"You interrupted our morning ritual for no apparent reason?!" One of the priestesses of Shesha complained.

"How dare you question our prophet, the one who will lead the elect to the Promised Land? The priest of the Lunarians replied. "Don't force us to wage religious wars!" We've got the old devil on our side!"

"Calm down, everybody," Manlin Victor tried to appease his angry retinue, while Winkel confiscated his map and continued the hunt himself.

After that, two more failed operations were performed.

"Go, go, go!" The Blue Ranger orders a group of elite kobolds to flood Nidmatt, arresting clients and testing them with silver to identify any doppelgangers. Winkel himself looked through the window, looking for the vampires.

After a full hour of searching the building, inspecting every floor, Wankel found nothing. The Blue Cavalry collapsed to the ground in shame. "It's a bust, Your Majesty ......"

Winkel took a deep breath, then roared in frustration.

Five more police operations followed.

"Open the barn door!" The Pink Ranger shouted. "Put your hands on your back!" You're surrounded!"

Van Kerr convulsed angrily when he saw that the barn was surrounded by forty kobolds with dwarven rifles shot with garlic piles. The dragon began to have an impression of dsamjjovu.

"Your Majesty, their silence says it all," said the organizer of the operation, Red Ra

ge

said.

"Of course, because they're afraid!" The dragon walked towards the barn, losing patience, and in broad daylight his wings cast a dark shadow. He ripped off the roof of the barn with his hands and peeked inside.

Unlike the warehouse, the invaders left traces of their passage: slaughtered pigs, innocent cows with their throats cut, and plucked chickens. The blood of each of them was drained so that anyone could see who did it, and why.

These barbarians spoiled his food!

"It's empty!" Vai

queu

grumbled. "Minions! Minions!"

His servant entered the barn instantly, and his iron boots were immediately soaked with pig's blood. "I don't think Your Majesty caught them this time." The chief of staff said, glancing at the barn. "Before they are resurrected tonight, we have to send them to the temple to be cleansed. Cow vampires are the worst ......"

"Minion, you said there was her location on the map!" But countless times this week, I opened a door only to find that there were no vampires inside! I'm starting to look ridiculous in front of my own troops!"

"We will never doubt Your Majesty!" The Pink Ranger hastened to comfort him.

"I know," replied Winkel, proud of the servant's loyalty. "It's for myself."

"I think that's probably the crux of the matter," replied Manlin Victor, as annoyed as his master. "She knew we could track her, so as soon as we got close to her, she walked away. She fights psychological warfare with us. ”

This annoyed Vaikel greatly. How could he kill an enemy who refused to kill himself? Like mosquitoes!

To make matters worse, these insects are constantly creating problems. They slaughtered his cattle, spoiled them with their diseases, tried to set fire to the city twice during the night, and even caused a rockslide that destroyed the main road through the mountains. His minions would begin to run out of food, and his minions would be just as tired of the fruitless hunt as he was.

"At least now that we know that they have a doppelganger, and most likely a stand-in for Miel, I managed to defuse the situation between heaven and the happy world," said Manlin Victor (Ma).

li

g Victo

It took her a few days to deal with it, she said. "Now. Unfortunately, the adoration of Shesha, the Agarthans and other guests are urging us to find a solution. Between our economic crisis and these attacks, Mu

mu

i

It no longer looks like a safe investment. They even encouraged me to compromise. ”

"Never!" Winkel roared, his voice shaking the ground, and his minions trembling. "I will give nothing, especially not to a fairy lover who will tarnish my reputation!" I'll just give her the flame! It's like this barn!"

Knowing that his master wanted to release his pent-up frustration, Manlin Victor immediately flew out of the barn; As soon as he did so, Van Kerr roared and set it on fire, burning the cow to death.

"I suspect that even if we give Ravi the map, she won't stop." Manlin Victor said, while the other minions were already intimidated by Winkel's anger. "Unfortunately, she's a powerful witch who lifts any guardianship that Jules and Alison are trying to set up."

Another witch is causing trouble for him?" Minions, forget about being a wizard," the dragon said after calming down, "I must become a witch vampire hunter." Bring me some more garlic. ”

"Your Majesty, can we slow down on the front line?" I can smell it everywhere, our reserves are running out, and Juris says it can't handle this vampire. ”

Speaking of smells, Winkel began to notice a disgustingly familiar smell; Even before he noticed her shadow with wings on the ground. As if the vampires weren't enough to bother him. "She's back." He hissed, looking up at the sky.

His minions also looked up, noticing that the Hippogriff was above them.

"Suave." Knight Kia nodded politely at the dragon. "How long has it been since we saw each other?"

"It's not long enough." Winkel replied, frustrated to see the crappy minion's excuse again. The Pink Ranger shushes the knight until the Red Man quiets her down.

"Hi, Kachin Independence Army! His chief of staff waved at her. "What's wrong?"

"Minions, she's not breeding material." Winkel whispered to him. He couldn't let her influence his beloved chief of staff in the same way she influenced his niece. "Save your eggs for better storage."

"Vic? Vic, are you the one in the armor?" Thanks to his wings, the paladin finally recognized Manlingvictor. "What's going on with your new look?" You're going to play Sauron?"

"After surviving an adventurous attack, I decided to upgrade my gear."

"Does the hillbilly want to fight you too?" The paladin landed next to Winkel's chief of staff with her Hippogriff and asked them. "A small group of horrible, well-armed robbers with guns tried to kill my lovely Julie on our way back. They kept shouting, 'They have robbed you of the Jews,' and I kept them away. It was unexpected, but fun. ”

"Your Julie?" Smoke came out of Winkel's nostrils. He knew that she would have a bad effect on his flesh and bones. "Is my niece yours now, and not the other way around?" You're distracted, minion!"

"How do you know where to find us?" Victor asked.

Knight Kia pointed to the burning barn, and a puff of smoke rose from the barn; The chief of staff shrugged in response.

"Where's Julie?" The dragon asked, he cared more about his flesh than he did for the bad servant she chose. "Safe?"

"Oh yes, she's back to Mauria to deal with her new minions. She's fine. ”

Good. If the knight Kia abandons her mistress, Vai

queu

Will never forgive her.

"I'm more worried about us, Your Majesty." "Kia, you're back just in time. We're under attack from vampires. ”

"Really? That's great! I love vampires!" When Winkel glared at her, the warrior coughed. "I mean, I like to destroy them."

"Me too." The dragon admitted. "But they refuse to fight me fairly!"

"Because they know His Majesty will kill them."

"Exactly! It's as if they lost their fear of life when they died!"

K

"Vampires are hard to deal with," IGHT Kia said. But I know how to deal with them. ”

"Of course you do," Manlin Victor said. Winkel glared at him, not to satisfy her overly conceited pride, but it was too late.

"Vic, no boasting, I'm the most experienced adventurer in Gardmani, and I've slain almost every creature that lives in Ofremond at least once. Including all vampires. Can you tell me what's going on? What do you know about them?"

Manlin Victor told her in detail about the great struggle against this pest, and the paladin often nodded his head as she listened. "So Laverly is an alchemical vampire...... "Knight Kia's performance declined." I knew the woman was uncomfortable; I'm going to tell Kevin that his students are in league with his ex. ”

"Kevin?" Manlin Victor frowned, and Kia shrugged in response. "If she declares open combat, then she must be prepared to give up her civilian status. She probably thinks that as long as we can't find her, she can start over somewhere else. ”

"From what you told me, she may be an ancestor of her vampire family, most likely a scholar."

“Scholowhat ?” Vai

queu

Asked.

"A student from Shirins, a dungeon and dark arts school in the Dark Lands. Almost all the alchemical vampires I've met can be traced back to that place. Their alumni often possess powerful black magic, witchcraft, can control the weather, and summon powerful monsters. They must also create a powerful magic book to graduate, a Solomonic Book of Spells, which is a small artifact with unique powers. ”

"You sound like you've been in a fight." Victor noted.

"Yes, he's tough." She said this with a good feeling, clearly enjoying the idea of killing another respectable foe. "Listen, vampires don't look like lichs. They have to eat, so they also have to rest in their own coffins. Even if these people can walk in the sun, it is equivalent to not sleeping. They can't keep it forever. ”

"They must have used elixirs and pre-treated blood pills to prolong this time," Manlin Victor guessed. "But in the end it's not enough."

"So at some point, our prey will stop hibernating, and then we will catch them." Winkel liked the idea.

"Unfortunately, powerful vampires always have Renfield to protect them or carry their coffins while they sleep." Knight Kia giggled at everyone's confusion. "It's a word used by vampire hunters to call mortal servants, as well as fans of 'Bella'. They also have stronger cousins named Igor, but they usually serve lichs or mad scientists. ”

"A chief of staff," Winkel said, looking down contemptuously at the man who had ignored the proper term.

"The easiest way to deal with vampires is usually to turn their Renfield against them, for their Bella is always loyal to them; Even if they seem a little hesitant at first. The Bellas are obsessed with their masters, while the Renfields are usually driven by fear or a thirst for power. If they see an opportunity to find a better option than their current boss, they will grab it. ”

"Then make their minions my minions and eat those bad recruit materials." Vai

queu

Nodding.

"It gave me an idea," Manlin Victor said. "But it may take time."

"They can also use other people's basements and graves as backup shelters," Knight Kia continued. "Have you inspected your graveyard?"

"We, uh, we don't," Manlin Victor said.

Knight Kia frowned. "Don't you have a cemetery?"

"Well, people who die in the Whispering Forest are usually resurrected as undead, or turned into fertilizer."

"Or be eaten by me," Wankel said.

"That's too."

"Your Majesty is not a waste at all!" The Red Mounties shouted. "We recycle everything!"

"Yes, we are the greenest government in Ofremond," Manlin Victor said sarcastically, much to Winkel's concern. Apparently the presence of the knight Chia made him as uneasy as his master.

"Then, either they transport the coffin around, or you miss the cellar or dungeon buried somewhere in the area. Considering their numbers, I think this is more likely. ”

"After our raid on the Sabra Pyramid, I closed all the tunnels and hidden passages in the castle," Manlin Victor said. "It's a strategy."

"Good idea, minion." Winkel congratulated him, glad that he was now able to distinguish between a pyramid and a tower. "Furifon will not use trickery to retake the castle, and my gold will not be a problem."

"Then they may be under the city," his chief of staff continued. "The existence of the Gates of Hell suggests that the dark forces were active here long before Frebang took over the area. It's a pity he escaped, we could have asked him ......"

"That's your fault, minion."

"Your Majesty, we will search the entire town for the catacombs." The Red Ranger suggested.

"Good idea, minion." The dragon said and nodded. "Until we find their nests, I'm going to continue training and get ready to crush them."

IGHT Kia said: "Witch Hu

te

The card is already leveled. "It should be pediatric to generalize it to Vampire Slayer. If we have the right tools, I can train you—"

"Wait," Manling Victor interrupted. "Can you train your team to hunt vampires?"

"If they meet national standards, yes, of course. We need the right tools, though. I don't know why, but whips and crosses are mandatory for the vampire hunter class. ”

Whip.

Vai

queu

It's been visualized. It's the perfect weapon against the world's most hated creatures: vampires and minions. Much better than the damn axe that pissed him off.

"I think we should train our Minions in the way of a new curriculum," Victor explained himself. "Because of my Mo

ste

I

sight was able to identify their infiltrators, so I thought I should try to get more Mo

ste

Squi

es", if you can help, so much the better. ”

"Do you want to teach us to become dragons like you, Chief?" Red's eyes widened in jealousy.

"Teach kobolds how to be vampire hunters?" The idea seemed to delight the Knight Kia. "Will it work?"

"It's worth a try," Winkel's chief of staff replied. "In this class, Vai

queu

You may not get to the next level, but learning the skills in it helps. ”

"In the face of this new threat, all V&Vs must be at their best." Dragon announced. "I will lead by example. Knight Kia, to prove that you are worthy of my niece, I will allow you to serve me in this capacity. ”

"So...... You want me to teach you, but you don't want to make it that simple?"

"You must learn to serve me," Winkel clarified, then turned to his most cherished servant. "You too, Manling Victor. You haven't learned any more monster skills since we fought Vengeance. ”

"Because it requires me to survive the attack first, and it hurts!"

"Minions, haven't you tasted death yet?" What else is there to be afraid of? When Furibon kills my treasure, or when Julie makes ...... I also suffered. Winkel glanced at Kia, and saw the poor minion's excuse, his voice choked in his throat. Let her do one thing, we won't say it in front of my other minions. But look at me! I'm still as amazing as ever!"

The charm test is successful!

"Hmm...... When you say that...... But I don't know ......"

Your Minions have grasped your wisdom, but are still unsure. Can you convince him?

A) Tell him he's going to get stronger.

B) Remind him that suffering for you is the greatest joy a servant can experience.

C) Convince him that if he trains, he will have more breeding opportunities.

Obviously, it's all of the above!" Minions, by becoming stronger, not only will you get used to the pain and learn to enjoy it for me, but you will become a more popular breeding partner!"

"Status and fame will really improve your dating life, but it can quickly get boring," Knight Kea said.

"Really?" Victor asked.

The charm test is successful!

"We live in a village full of monsters...... Winkel remained silent, allowing Manlin Victor to speak his own words. Now that it's getting harder and harder to level up, we should explore what we have at hand...... For the sake of fighting. Fight!"

"We'd love to teach you how to attack, sir." Said the Pink Ranger. "So you can teach us how to do better!"

"Can you learn the special skills of monsters?" Knight Kea whistled. "Good! How many?"

"I don't know, I've never tried to push this ability to the extremes of logic."

"You are my chief of staff," Wankel cheered him up, "you can do anything. ”

"I know I'll regret what I said, but can Your Majesty ......" "Almost killed me?"

…

…

…

Yes. At last.

It's time to teach him to breathe fire!

"Say no more, minion." Van Kerr took a breath and held his breath. "We'll start with the simplest technique: Maggot Fireball."

"Wait, wait, Your Majesty, I don't mean that now-"

Too late.

Winkel unleashed the weakest fireball on his retinue, creating a small crater.
