"After our mission, we were going to change our equipment, and the people in the Boluo Mountains invited us to take a trip, it is said that there is a castle there, but we don't know the history, there were vampires not long ago, and we went to investigate the situation. Arold said.

Wang Qinian knew about that mountainous area, but it was the first time he had heard of vampires, and vampires were not common, some people said they were fantasy species, and some people said that they were immortal species.

"You're not afraid?"

"There's no way, I'm scared, I have to do it, I want to live, which mercenary doesn't tie his head to the waistband of his trousers, it's different like you, the noble lord can talk in front of him. Arold said enviously.

Wang Qinian dried the ale wine in the cup in one gulp, and said to the merchant who sold the wine: "Have another glass, the wine that the brothers drank here is mine, don't look for it." After speaking, a gold coin popped up, and a glass of copper coins of ale wine.

"Okay!" the merchant poured another cup for Wang Qinian.

Arold drank a drink, Wang Qinian asked about the Boluo Mountain again, he was very interested, I heard that there was a philosopher's stone in it, and I didn't know if it was true or not, Arold took advantage of the wine, and poured out what he knew, as well as hearsay.

Arold drank a few glasses, he was already drunk, Wang Qinian saw that his words were already confused, knowing that he was drunk, so he called a soldier and asked him to help Arold back, he sat outside, thinking about where he was going, Boluo Mountain was on the way to the west, but that place, but one or two hundred miles north, the ancient castle Wang Qinian knew, even where Nickles Andrew had been more than ten years ago, there were no vampires at that time, and the castle was also very dilapidated.

Wang Qinian was very curious, especially when he heard that there was a philosopher's stone, he was tempted, he decided to take a trip, vampires are terrible to ordinary people, but for a lich, it is not terrible, and the lich must be a kind of immortality.

The next day, Wang Qinian said goodbye to Franklin, and was surprised that Wang Qinian was leaving so soon, Betsy and Raymond also persuaded Wang Qinian to stay, but Wang Qinian insisted on leaving, and Franklin had to give Wang Qinian more than 10,000 gold coins around him, and the ransom had not yet arrived, otherwise he was very rich.

Wang Qinian did not refuse, and said: "After I leave, you should be careful yourself, you now have a fief, there is a feud between Count Lane and Count Edward, I heard that the persuasion of the Grand Duke and the persuasion of the Holy See are already on the way, and it will be here in a few days, Count Edward will definitely take advantage of these days to launch a final offensive, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault." ”

"Sir, I see, thanks to your advice, I will have today, where will I go?" asked Franklin.

"Traveling thousands of roads and reading thousands of books, I don't have any fixed goals. Wang Qinian didn't want to expose his whereabouts and said with a smile.

"You are going west, I don't know if you will go or not Wotters Road, where I have an elder, Leonardo, who is Betsy's teacher, a magician, and an alchemist, and if the gentleman goes there, he can settle down somewhere else, and I will write you a letter. Franklin said.

"That's a lot of work. ”

Franklin wrote a letter, sealed it, sealed it, and handed it to Wang Qinian, who thanked him, put the letter in his ring, bid them farewell, and set out for the Boluo Mountains.

Wang Qinian left, he didn't pay attention, he staggered with a group of people, but this group of people was Robin, Cecilia said: "Robin, we should go back, it's been a few months since we came out, and the mortar that Count Edward asked for was also given to him, why are we meddling in the internal affairs of the Duchy of Leah?"

"Did we participate? No, we just sold a cannon to one of them, and in fact it has nothing to do with who the cannon falls into. Robin seemed to have something to say, but didn't say it.

"Sister, how about my apprentice, he has made a great contribution to the young master of Klin. Andrea said.

"Don't make trouble, I didn't want to bring you here this time, but I wanted to come. Cecilia glared at her, "He's older than you. ”

"He thinks of me as a teacher, Brother Robin, don't you say?" Andrea asks Robin for help.

Robin smiled: "I knew that he was a talent, so I didn't let him go, and pulled him into the gang, cheapening Franklin's kid." ”

"Then let's go and get him. Andrea called.

"No need, let's go back, this time out, the intention is basically achieved, the feud between Ryan and Edward is not a day or two, the Duchy of Leah can only protect itself, it is impossible to expand without scruples, the eastern environment of Tamil is stable, but it is a pity that the wolf tooth mercenary group seems to sink into the sea, and Nickles Andrew has offended the Holy Eton Church, and his whereabouts are unknown. Robin said.

Unbeknownst to them, Wang Qinian had already left Franklin and headed for Boluo Mountain.

Boluo Mountain north-south direction, slightly to the southeast, the Lia Demon Forest is all in the remaining veins of this mountain, when the Kaiwang Emperor conquered the barbarians, there were barbarians living here, but since that era, it has been more than 1,500 years, there are only a few descendants of the barbarians here, gradually assimilated, the castle, there is no record in history, but the age is long, I don't know when it was erected in that, the legend is that it was built in the era of the barbarians, but it is not seen in the annals.

Below the castle, is the ancient battlefield, it was here, Kaiwang the Great with deception, and the barbarians made a covenant, but on the third day, secretly killed back, the barbarians were defenseless, the result was a great defeat, legend has it that the barbarian priest at the last moment, desperately cursed Kaiwang, Kaiwang later returned to the Holy Eton, at the peak of power, was assassinated and died.

That land, the land cursed by the barbarian priests, since then, strange things have not stopped, but there is also a theory that it is the result of the original battle between the magicians of Kaiwang and the wizards of the barbarians, so that the time and space here are often in chaos, however, there have been many magicians who have searched for secrets and found them very strange, but there is no final conclusion.

When Wang Qinian arrived here, the sun had already set, he was standing on a peak, the western sky was burning with sunset, red again, the moon had risen, showing a crescent shape, pale and weak, it was a waning moon. Opposite Wang Qinian, is the ancient castle, the years have left vicissitudes, but it still stands, there is no trace of collapse, there are occasional climbing plants on the wall, not too many, the ancient castle is built on the rock, which may be the reason why it can stand here for many years.

Wang Qinian is on this side of the mountain, looking over there, it looks close, but it is not so easy to get there, not to mention that there are many seemingly normal plants there, but Wang Qinian knows that it is not normal, because normal plants cannot grow on rocks.

The sky gradually darkened, and under the miserable white moonlight, Wang Qinian found that the flowers on the mountain over there had bloomed, and at some point, the fiery red flowers appeared in vain from the darkness, if Wang Qinian hadn't opened a faint vision, he wouldn't have paid attention.

The flowers bloomed, and in the castle, like dark clouds, flew out a large number of bats, this is the hell demon bat, with green light flashing in their eyes, Wang Qinian knows that this is not how far their eyes can see, but a kind of light that confuses the mind, they are still the same as ordinary bats, mainly through the echo of guΓ² to explore the way.

After the bats flew out, they scattered, one by one the flowers bloomed, the bats began to fall on the flowers, Wang Qinian thought they were ** honey, but then a scene negated Wang Qinian's idea, some flowers seemed to be very comfortable, the bats quickly sucked with relish, but some flowers were hideous in an instant, like snakes, swallowing the bat whole, chewing sound, Wang Qinian heard the chewing sound of wanting to be a piece, and couldn't help but stand on end.

Those bats didn't seem to be able to hear, and the bats that were full of alcohol flew up slowly, as if drunk, Wang Qinian also came to the bottom of the mountain and embarked on the road up the mountain.

On the entire mountain road, there was a flash of green light from time to time, Wang Qinian did not dodge, this point Cheng DΓΉ's confusion ray could not do anything to him, he was a lich, if it was someone else, it would be difficult to say.

The bats were still wandering and flying, but under the green light, the bats didn't even realize that someone was coming, and they looked like they were drunk.

At this time, a dark cloud covered the moonlight, the mountain suddenly became dark, and the ancient castle on the mountain beam was even more swarthy like a monster that chose people to eat, all the plants were active, and Wang Qinian felt his scalp tingle even if he had a faint vision.

Wang Qinian's hand flipped, the cane disappeared, and a white bone wand appeared in his hand, Wang Qinian has never used a wand in order to hide his identity, but he had to rely on the wand today, using undead magic, silently groaning a few bytes, like a flash of water around him, and the terrifying enchantment of undead magic came out.

It is said that it is a terrifying barrier, but there is no barrier, but as long as it is within a few elbows of the body, living things instinctively produce great terror from the depths of the soul, even plants are not immune, but they have no effect on inanimate matter.

A few bats flew in, suddenly frightened, and fled quickly, and those flowers, trees and the like, as soon as Wang Qinian entered their range, especially the trees, ten thousand silk silks were like snakes, and they quickly wrapped around Wang Qinian, but as soon as they entered Wang Qinian's terrifying enchantment, they suddenly froze, and then they seemed to be greatly intimidated and quickly escaped.

Within a few elbows of Wang Qinian's side, flowers and trees all dodged, and even Wang Qinian was so frightened that he uprooted a flower and fled.

Wang Qinian had an illusion for a moment, it seemed that these flowers and plants were not plants, but animals, and the terrifying enchantment had a time limit, but this time was enough.

Wang Qinian held the magic wand in his hand, and was walking towards the ancient castle, a black shadow pounced down in the sky, and as soon as he entered the terrifying enchantment, he couldn't help but slow down, and a dark purple light burst out from his body, Wang Qinian raised his head, and a black light appeared on the magic wand: "Kawabroxia, suck the soul!"
