Chapter 172(1/2)
Things change and people change
For Duanmu Huai and others, the road was quite lively.
From a certain perspective, Bambi is very similar to Ann, innocent, lively and carefree. Moreover, like Ann, she is full of interest in Gu Leiya - especially that fat big tail.
.
By the way, although Bambi's character is indeed lively and cheerful, she is not completely ignorant of fighting. In fact, Bambi will also take action when encountering enemies along the way. However, according to Duanmu Huai's observation, Bambi is generally
They all use magic power and control of bats to attack.
Well, the latter is somewhat of a vampire.
From Bambi, Duanmuhuai also gained a certain knowledge and understanding of the vampires of her time.
According to Bambi, the vampires at that time lived in a country called "Medebegia". This country was far away from the mainland and was located on an isolated island. It basically had no contact with the outside world. And the people living there were all like Bambi.
The characteristic of vampires like this is that they are not afraid of the sun, can eat like normal people, and have a pair of bat-like wings on their heads.
To be honest, Duanmuhuai really doesn't understand why this vampire race has wings on its head. Generally speaking, shouldn't vampire wings grow on the back of the body? At least it can be said to be used for flying, but growing on the head is too
What the hell?
Not to mention that these "wings" are basically useless, their size is slightly larger than the ears, and they look more like some kind of headgear.
Although vampires at that time could also give blood to others and transform it into vampire abilities, it was completely different from the infectious disease-like abilities now. According to Bambi, after vampires gave blood to mortals, they could
The latter transforms into a vampire, but is not completely a vampire. For example, mortals will share the vampire's abilities and life, which means that both parties are of the same mind.
Moreover, a vampire can only transform one dependent. Unless this dependent dies, it cannot transform other dependents.
Not only that, because both parties share life, the death of the dependent will also cause great harm to the vampire.
The relationship between vampires and humans at that time was not good, but unlike today, when humans are regarded as food, humans at that time would even deliberately deceive vampires' feelings and let them transform themselves into dependents in order to desire immortality. It was precisely because of this.
In this way, vampires hate humans so much that vampire countries basically do not allow citizens to go out at will.
If we just judge from Bambi's description, then the vampires at that time did no harm to humans, but it was more likely that humans would harm vampires.
But...what happened, and why did the vampire become like this?
Bambi knew nothing about this. She only knew that she was invited by the queen to attend the banquet. After being tired from playing, she fell asleep. When she woke up again... it was when Duanmu Huai and the others opened the stone pillar.
As for the ancient scroll that Bambi was carrying, she had no memory. At least judging from the information Bambi revealed, it was the queen who should have handed the ancient scroll to Bambi and then locked her in the stone pillar.
This shows that something big must have happened at that time, otherwise it would not have reached this point.
Having said that, Her Royal Highness the Princess slept too well, and she slept for five hundred years...
And the answer to all this is right in front of you.
"Look, there is Brembania Castle!"
Pointing to a huge castle on an island not far away, Bambi said proudly. It must be said that this castle is indeed very huge, as high as more than ten stories, and the four-corner bell towers have a Gothic style.
The stylish triangular dome, coupled with the current cloudy weather, as well as howling lightning and heavy rain...
Well, this looks like vampire territory.
"But it looks so desolate here."
When he came to the shore and looked at the castle in front of him, Bambi showed a puzzled expression.
"Any questions?"
Duanmuhuai walked to the shore and looked around. He saw that the surroundings were desolate. There was nothing on the ground except stones. Even the trees were dead and twisted into a strange shape.
No matter how you look at it, it fits the look of a vampire castle?
"Huh? There used to be a big garden here. It was very beautiful. Bambi used to like to lie down in the grass and sleep in the sun."
But Bambi obviously didn't think so. She stretched out her hand, gestured, and explained at the same time.
After hearing Bambi's explanation, the vigilante beside Duanmu Huai was speechless.
"Why does a vampire's castle have a garden..."
"All in all, we'll know when we go in."
Duanmuhuai clenched his war hammer and looked at the castle in front of him. Although according to Bambi, this castle should not be that dangerous. But the memories in Bambi's mind were from five hundred years ago, and they did not exist at that time.
This kind of vampire treats humans as food, so...
"Bambi, Gulea, hide behind me and pay attention to your surroundings."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai strode forward, with Gu Leiya and Bambi following closely behind. The vigilantes also drew their weapons and got ready at the rear.
After walking through the desolate land and arriving at the stone bridge connecting the main entrance of the castle, a bloody, cold, and death breath rushed towards me. Even Bambi seemed to be aware of some kind of threat, hiding behind Duanmu Huai, grabbing
took off his cloak.
"Family, family, be careful, it may be dangerous."
"I know."
Duanmu Huai is not a fool. The castle in front of him clearly looks like a "final BOSS battleground". He is not blind either. If you say this is not a bit tricky, you won't even believe it!
However, just when a group of people crossed the stone bridge and came to the gate, they saw the originally closed steel gate rising upwards with a "clatter", and then the heavy stone gate roared and slowly opened, revealing
The dark corridor inside.
"……………………"
Seeing this scene, everyone was silent, while Duanmu Huai touched his chin and turned to look at everyone.
"You think, if we turn around and go back now, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to the other party?"
"a ha ha ha……………"
Facing Duanmuhuai's words, Gu Leiya didn't know what to say, so she could only smile bitterly in return. The vigilante's face was ashen and he was holding his weapon tightly. Judging from his sweaty forehead,
, he is obviously not in the mood to joke with Duanmu Huai now.
"Then let's go."
Seeing that no one agreed with him, Duanmu Huai shrugged helplessly. To be honest, he really wanted to do this. After all, in the game, players have to move forward, but what about in reality?
If the door on the other side is open and I and others are having a barbecue and camping outside, will the BOSS be pissed off to death?
"By the way, should we make a fire here and grill the fish?"
"Mr. Knight!!"
"Okay, okay, I understand..."
Seeing Gu Leya clenching her fists to protest to herself, Duanmu Huai shook her head helplessly. If only An was here, she would not only raise her hands in approval, but even take the initiative to make a fire... But Gu Leya
Ya has a serious personality, so there is nothing she can do about it.
In this way, a group of people entered the castle, and as expected, after they entered the castle, the heavy door closed heavily, swallowing everyone in darkness.
Then, the fire light shone brightly, illuminating the originally dark space.
Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked around, and saw that they were currently in the hall at the entrance of the castle. When he raised his head, he saw dozens of people in fine clothes standing on the terraces on both sides, looking like they were attending a banquet.
Men and women, each wearing a mask of different shapes, stood behind the railing and stared at the people below.
In front of them, stood a man in a black dress, dressed like a butler.
"...Who are these people?"
While holding Duanmu Huai's cloak tightly, Bambi looked at them with confusion and murmured in a low voice, "It's no wonder. For Bambi, this is basically equivalent to finding that he doesn't know anyone at home after returning home."
Like strangers, it is normal to feel uneasy and confused.
"Come in, everyone, the master is already waiting for you."
The housekeeper in front bowed respectfully to everyone, and then walked forward, while Duanmu Huai and others followed him to the front door. Then, the housekeeper opened the door.
Seeing the scene inside, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
What I saw behind the door was a magnificent restaurant, with three long dining tables placed two vertically and one horizontally in the middle. Behind the table, there were also nobles in gorgeous clothes sitting there. If that was the case,
Then this is just a simple party.
The problem is the food on the table.
That's human.
Human bodies were placed on the table, with blood vessels cut open, hands and feet cut off and placed in a basin. There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Just seeing this scene made Gu Leiya turn pale.
The vigilantes also gritted their teeth and firmly grasped the weapons in their hands. Although this was not the first time they had dealt with vampires, it was the first time they had seen vampires treat humans as meals.
"What's this……………"
Even Bambi looked bewildered, staring at the scene in front of him in stunned silence, not knowing how to react.
And at this moment, a voice sounded.
"Welcome back, Your Highness the Princess of the Dark Night!"
Hearing this voice, everyone raised their heads and saw a middle-aged man standing up in a black dress and cloak, dressed like a standard vampire.
"This is the dinner I prepared for your return. How about it, Your Highness? Are you satisfied?"
