Chapter 156

Now that I think about it, it's possible that the great priest actually destroyed it.

The seventh-level blood Earl should have some dependents, but these dependents are currently hiding in hiding and have not come to the town.

On the one hand, these relatives may have to stay with the count to protect the weak master.

on the other hand.

The dependents are also afraid of the sun.

If you travel over the mountains and spend two days to reach the town, you will most likely encounter adventurers in the wild during the day or the hunting team will send them away directly.

So they should also be waiting for the bridge to be repaired before quickly attacking the town at night.

It's a pity that this bridge's surname is De.

It has flexible opening hours.

So the three-person team headed towards the city-state amidst laughter and laughter.

There will be more updates today, I will send them out as soon as I finish coding.

Volume 3 Secrets of the Decline of the Sacred Rite: 166 Dekan is always on the next level (three-in-one) (updated on 11 & 12/30)

Late at night, City State.

The light gray clouds were dense and thick, and the moonlight did not appear bright.

Under the dim lights, the streets looked very desolate.

A cool breeze blew by, picking up the fallen leaves and carrying them floating on the ground.

The shop doors on the street were closed tightly, making occasional creaking sounds.

There was only one figure on the whole street.

This is a woman wearing a slightly cheap dress. She staggers and looks drunk.

She seemed unsure of the direction to go home, and gradually staggered towards the alley.

Yet high up.

There was a figure looming in the dim light, with only the scarlet eyes standing out.

It seemed to be staring at its prey.

Subsequently.

It moves so fast that it is almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

An unpleasant smell gradually wafted into the air.

The vampire pounced on the woman from a tricky angle, completely out of her sight and not even giving her a chance to react.

However, at this moment, a cold light flashed across the woman's eyes as if she was awake, and she sank!

She used dexterous movements to get around the vampire's back, and the short knife that appeared in her hand at an unknown moment was inserted into the vampire's back with lightning speed and precision.

After that, she drew the dagger without any hesitation.

Blood sprayed on her body, but she didn't care at all. She grabbed the vampire's neck and slammed it to the ground.

Then the knife stabbed into its heart again.

Although this vampire suffered two consecutive fatal injuries, it had no intention of exhausting itself.

The blood that flowed out seemed to have vitality and returned to its body to help it repair its injuries.

However, at the moment when the vampire was struggling, a man walked out of nowhere.

Several spell cards appeared in his hand.

After a series of activations, the vampire was quickly stunned, and then a halo of light was deployed to restrain it.

"Finally caught one."

The man looked at the unable to move vampire and finally sighed with relief.

"With it, we will have a way to find the big vampire."

The woman drew out her short knife and observed the vampire she had subdued.

Although it has clear vampire characteristics, its smell is very turbid, and it doesn't look like a pure vampire at all.

They must be the dependents of the great blood clan lurking in this city-state.

It's late night on the third day of the Shadow World.

And this combination of female warriors and male mages came to snipe the sixth-level elites of the Resurrection Church in Morion.

In the morning, they had just seen the notification that mission objective 3, "Prevent Marquis Roderick from resurrecting," had been unlocked.

In the afternoon, I saw another reminder that Marquis Roderick was killed.

Until now they still can't figure out what happened.

I just feel that this shadow world is not very good. The water in Challenger may be a bit deep.

According to their understanding, it would be difficult for even Morion to do such an exaggerated thing.

And the strategy style is different from that of Morion.

So in the afternoon, after a brief discussion, they all confirmed the next course of action in this shadow world——

Don't cause trouble, give up targeting Morion, and perfectly disguise yourself as an ordinary challenger.

Since there seems to be a big boss in the Shadow World this time, they are also aware of current affairs, so they might as well just be honest and get rewards.

However, the final reward settlement in Shadow World is related to the level of contribution.

If your contribution is very small, you will receive a correspondingly small reward in the end.

Of course, even if you paddle again, it will be difficult to get no rewards in a movie world.

At least they haven't seen this happen.

During the first three days of investigation.

They discovered that there was a large vampire clan with unknown purpose lurking in the city-state.

After seeing the mission objective 3 publicly announced by Shadow World, they quickly deduced that the motive of this big blood clan was to rescue the sealed blood clan Marquis.

The reason why it is lurking now must be that it is too weak and is recovering.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him. Now is undoubtedly the best time to defeat the vampires.

If they can make a significant contribution to mission goal 2, then their final reward must be considerable.

So the strategy they used tonight was fishing for enforcement.

A female warrior pretends to be a weak woman and walks on the streets to lure vampires in need of prey.

The male mage is hiding in the dark, supporting the female warrior at any time.

And do a good job in detection work to be prepared for multiple powerful enemies.

And finally come to control the vampire.

Sure enough, the female warrior successfully seduced the vampire.

They caught the target with exceptional success.

Next, you only need to hand over this dependent vampire of the big blood clan to the Holy Rite Church or the lord.

The city-state will naturally launch a thorough investigation throughout the city.

At that time, even the head of this big vampire will not be counted on them.

They will also receive good rewards for making key contributions.

"Tap tap tap."

Just as they were preparing to escort the family member to the church, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard on the street.

It seemed that their movements attracted the knight escorts patrolling at night.

Soon, the knights appeared at the intersection and looked at the mess in the alley.

"We are adventurers who have taken on a mission."

The female warrior and male mage quickly explained and moved aside so that the leading knight could see clearly that the person on the ground was a vampire.

The knight captain breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the vampire clearly.

"Don't worry, we are aware of the situation. In fact, yesterday we discovered vampires wandering around the city at night, so we stepped up patrols tonight. Thank you very much for helping us defeat the vampires."

The knight captain got off his horse, walked quickly to the two of them, and spoke in a calm tone.

"It's okay, we are preparing to hand over the vampire, and then we will leave it to you."

The two Resurrectionists observed the knight patrol and were relieved after confirming that they were regular troops directly under the lord.

After a brief handover, just as the two were about to leave, the knight captain asked sincerely:

"Please wait a moment. If it's convenient for you two, can you help us escort this vampire? There are also some details that our lord would like to ask you."

The knight captain didn't mean to force it. He respected the two adventurers who were strong and had a sense of justice.

"no problem."

The two looked at each other and quickly nodded in confirmation.

This little effort can also increase the level of contribution.

So the two followed the knights' team to the lord's mansion.

On the way, according to the explanation of the knight commander on the road, in fact, since yesterday, traces of vampires have been suspected to appear in the city at night.

There are also three missing citizens.

But after all, it was just a suspicion, lacking conclusive evidence, and a day's investigation did not reveal the reason.

The attitude of the Holy Rite Church was very vague and they did not give any opinions or responses.

For this reason, the lord was so worried that he could only strengthen night patrols.

The lord also ordered that any clues or information must be reported to him as soon as possible.

The knight captain was convinced that these two were the people the lord was looking for.

It didn't take long before they arrived at a luxurious and stately old mansion.

There are several towering trees with lush foliage standing around the mansion, covering up the already thin moonlight, leaving only traces of mottled light spots on the walls, giving the entire mansion a layer of mystery. .

Under the leadership of the knight captain, the two entered the lord's mansion from the courtyard along a winding path, and then went straight to the spacious living room.

A majestic-looking middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, with a very serious expression on his face.

He is the lord of this city-state.

The patrol knight captain quickly resigned at the lord's instruction.

There were only a few guards left in the huge living room, and a young maid who was serving them drinks.

Then she dragged the dinner plate and stood behind the lord's sofa.

Although this maid looks like a teenage girl, she must be a powerful combat maid to be able to protect the lord at close range.

"Thank you both very much. Because a vampire is suspected to have appeared in the city, I stayed up all night. Until I confirm that you have caught him, I can sleep peacefully today, but I have to trouble you to explain as much detail to me as possible."

The lord pinched his eyebrows, his voice full of exhaustion.

The two resurrection believers quickly explained to the lord the whole story, including the clues they had investigated in the city-state.

It’s just that they hid the task prompts of the Shadow World.

But no one would believe the existence of the Shadow World even if they told it.

Next the lord discussed with them again.

The lord seemed particularly worried. He was very concerned about all information about vampires.

If a big blood clan sneaks into his territory, he and the territory will face disaster if he is not careful.

"Don't worry, Lord, we will also help you defeat the vampires."
