"My lord, may I come in?"

After the knock on the door fell, the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan asked respectfully - as a blood clan with the status of the Grand Duke and the strength of the Sun Clan, Kuo Xi is undoubtedly proud, even in the face of the head of the Fanzhuo family in the thirteen clans of the Blood Clan, Kuo Xi will not salute respectfully; At most, it's just a nod of the head; But in this arrogant crowd, there was absolutely no adult in the hall in front of him.

"Come in, Kuossy and Dart!"

Upon hearing the Lord's answer, the two Grand Dukes of the Blood Clan pushed open the door of the hall at the same time, and walked inward with a high stride—the whole hall was not as large as one had imagined, but on the contrary, compared to the long corridor, the hall in front of them was very small, and the length and width did not correspond to the corridor that was hundreds of yards long; And the decoration is extremely simple, without the luxury or low-key but aristocratic bearing that should be in the blood clan, it is just as literally stated: simple.

Able to accommodate about thirty people, the floor was covered with a thick blanket made of ordinary wool, and four marble pillars stood at the four corners of the hall, revealing a perfect semicircle; In front of each pillar is a brazier made of black iron, and the charcoal fire in the brazier, the size of an adult's head, is supported by an X-shaped bracket.

In the center of the whole hall, a wooden chair sits on a table slightly above the horizontal line of the room, about a foot above the horizon in the room; A pale finger on the smooth and shiny armrest tapped slightly, and along the slender arm, the inanimate king's closed face loomed in the firelight—the long silver hair of Alcatel, who had taken off his blood-colored trench coat and top hat and wore only a white undershirt, ran down his shoulders and spread out; In the inversion of the firelight, the long silver hair exuded a moon-like sheen, making the Alcatel sitting there look like a noble son in the night.

"I've seen my lord!"

The two Grand Dukes of the Blood Clan, Kuoxi and Dart, saluted respectfully again - although the light in the hall was not clear, but as the darlings of darkness, especially the two who had reached the duke level, they did not need the assistance of light at all, and just the moment they entered the hall, they had already clearly seen the expressions of the adults they were following at this moment.

It is a gift of the race, an indisputable advantage; Even the first Witcher knows this very well. Don't be the terrible of these vampires in the dark; After all, even with their trained eyes and the aid of instruments, they were too far apart from the strength of real vampires in the dark.

And in the battle there is a small gap. It's enough to decide the outcome of the worst - so. Those who deal with vampires not only remember to want a vampire to die in real terms by piercing its heart and cutting off its head, but also know how to avoid the darkness; Unless you want to be pierced in the heart or beheaded, or even tragically become the other party's 'reserve' food.

"My lord, the stored magic array has been prepared!"

Expressionless Alcatel. Undoubtedly, he put tremendous pressure on his two servants, and he spoke more and more cautiously.

"Take it, put it in the magic circle!"

The milky white with a hint of gray traces that had appeared in the sights of many witchers appeared in Alcatel's hand, and then he threw it into the hands of a servant in front of him—Kocy immediately caught the ball of light, and then Dart next to him immediately appeared in the palm of his hand a box the size of a jewelry box with the lid open.

Click!

Drop the milky ball into the box. Dart immediately closed the box, and a blood-colored light appeared between his fingers, gently slicing through the gap between the closed boxes; Suddenly, the gap that had originally appeared disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it was originally one, and there was no opening and closing—to be able to become the servant of Alcatel, the inanimate king, in addition to the strength of the powerful. Of course, the ability to do things will not be weak; Although he does not have the communication of Kossi, Dart has a kind of care that ordinary people do not have.

Not only was the box in front of him engraved with the milky white ball of light containing the stored magic reinforced by him with the secret technique of the Blood Clan, but it also left a warning magic - anyone who wanted to touch the box, but did not unlock it correctly, would be the first to be sensed by it.

"Let's go down!"

"Yes!"

The two Grand Dukes of the Blood Clan, who did not dare to have any exploration of their own adults, held the box in their arms. He bowed straight and stepped back—and until the two servants left, Alcatel, the lifeless king, did not open his eyes, and sat there quietly; In his mind, a flame of red was pulsing. His already calm state of mind rippled again.

A trick of fate?

Hum!

After a cold snort. Alcatel opened his eyes, and blood flashed in them - in the face of fate, the lifeless king never chooses to bow his head; If he bows his head, then he is not worthy of being a king, and there is almost no difference between him and those who are rotten in his hands.

The blood-colored trench coat and top hat appeared on Alcatel's body like smoke, and then, in the next moment, the lifeless king disappeared from his seat like smoke; All that was left was the crackling sound of the charcoal in the brazier.

……

In the basement of the castle, a magical circle so complex that all wizards would be stunned is slowly running in it—the aura of magic replaces the light of fire; Holding the box, Dart carefully walked to the center of the magic circle step by step according to the memory in his mind; The Grand Duke of the Blood Clan knew very well that even if it touched the magic array by mistake, the energy that erupted from the magic array would be enough to burn it to ashes in an instant.

In the line engraving of countless magical inscriptions, a small space was separated—there, a rusty key was placed; The original color of the key is no longer visible, and even the only three teeth of the key have fallen off one and a half, so it can be said that anyone who sees this key will cast a surprised look at this key, and then, the next moment, throw it away; Of course, if there are some moral people, they will choose the trash can.

Regardless, though, the key was a garbage item in the eyes of all - of course, it didn't hold the Blood; Any Kindred with a certain level of seniority will understand what the key in front of them represents; And among these blood clans with certain qualifications, they include Kuosi and Dart.

Although the person who placed the box was Dart, it was Broadey who stood on the edge of the basement. Under the spiritual light of the magic array, there was also a look of great seriousness, even a little nervousness—no one knew better than this Grand Duke of the Blood Clan what this key represented; If it weren't for the restraint of the magic array around him, even this Grand Duke of the Blood Clan would not have approached this key at all; And even if it is bound by a magic array. For this Grand Duke of the Blood Clan. There's also a lot of pressure.

Murder key!

This broken key, the original name; Regarded by outsiders as one of the thirteen secret treasures of the blood clan, it is said that it has the ability to be combined with hell and abyss - although Kocy has a little doubt about this. But he will not deny the horror of the murderous key; Even, as a witness who witnessed this key 'suck' a fellow of the family's Grand Duke level, even if it had been hundreds of years, Kuoxi could not forget the horror of it, after all, that Grand Duke also had absolute prestige among the blood clan at that time. And the absolute prestige in the blood clan must represent absolute strength!

Even, even now, Kuosi thinks that he is inferior to his kind at the rank of the Grand Duke; And it was the existence that made it ashamed of itself, but it became a puddle of ashes in less than thirty seconds; The scene of flesh and soul being devoured in a few breaths was once a nightmare that lasted for decades after Kuoxi.

Perhaps only the owner can wear such a key!

Just like the scene when he witnessed the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan being 'sucked', when the head of the Fanzhuo family brought the murder key to the ancient castle and in front of the lord, this follower of the Fanzhuo family picked up the murder key at will, which immediately made Kuoxi, who had already sacrificed his body and mind, fall straight to the ground, and the head of the Fanzhuo family who was still proud of himself - after all. The murderous key brought by the head of the family before cooperated with the family to inherit the magic array that I don't know how long it was; And even so, when holding the box containing the murderous key, the head of the family also performed the secret skills of the Fanzhuo family all over his body.

But even that was not as good as the two fingers of their adult, the white fingers pinching the murderous key between them, as if they had picked up an ordinary key that they didn't care about; Facing the strong, especially the strong of the same race and race. The current head of the Fanzhuo family immediately offered his loyalty; However, their lord was dismissive.

Both Gaussey and Dart were in favor of this; After all. The current Fanzhuo family is no longer the Fanzhuo family in the Dark Ages, which has the Vasuo family that makes all the blood clans submit, even countless times worse than in the Blood Age - the Holy See in the Holy Age will not give up the opportunity to exterminate a family called the head of the thirteen clans of the Blood Clan; And in this war of extermination, which lasted for almost fifty years. The familiar and terrifying powerful figures of the Fanzhuo family fell one after another in the holy light; But only one person is an exception, not only did not fall, but on the contrary, rose in the astonishment of countless people.

That's the Lord they are following at the moment, known as the king of the Bloodline, Alcatel.

For the adults who were born in the Fanzhuo family, they were very low-key at the beginning, and even belonged to a forgotten existence in the family; If it weren't for the fact that an elder of the Fanzhuo family clearly remembered the face of the adult, and the adult once admitted that he was from the Fanzhuo family; No one will associate it with the already lonely Fanzhuo family - therefore, in the face of the Fanzhuo family, which is still known as the first family of the blood clan, whether it is Kocy or Dart, they are all sneering and opposing in their hearts.

After all, there is no one who knows better than these beings who are blood clans what life is like when they are forgotten by the family, especially when only one elder in the entire family still remembers his adult, and the two blood clan grand dukes can understand what kind of life their adults lived back then even without thinking about it - maybe they were bullied, with their own adult character, they wouldn't; However, the resources and property that should be deducted are certain; Every clan with a knighthood has its own property; Most of these possessions were distributed by the 'parents', and a forgotten existence was naturally not valued by the 'parents', and according to a later casual conversation with adults, he was assigned to a mill at that time.

A mill for an average family of five or so to survive – of course, this survival must be earned by hard work, rather than lying at home waiting for Kimpton to fall from the sky; Although this was already remarkable in the eyes of most ordinary humans of that period, it was a complete joke among the Bloodline, a big joke.

After all, a blood family that only needs to have the title of baron. You can wait until a fief of about three hundred acres - everything that exists in the fiefdom, whether it is human beings, flowers and trees, will be owned by this baron; Comparing a fief of 300 acres with a mill, a fool will know the difference.

Although his own magnanimity forgave those stupid kindreds, it did not mean that the two blood clan guilds were magnanimous; At that time, they didn't rush out of the canopy to hang up the current family of the Fanzhuo family, and the whipping was already the greatest patience of the two of them - so. After the adults 'send off'. As servants, the two Grand Dukes very 'politely' invited the current head of the Fanzhuo family to have a friendly and in-depth discussion.

And since the head of the Fanzhuo family returned to the family, he has been looking for traces, and even just a name of Ye Qi sent it, so he obediently released the blood girl Ghost Lisi back. It can be seen that the head of the family is very hurt.

Click!

As soon as Dart placed it in the middle of the area, the box made a sound like it was embedded in a machine spring; Looking at the unchanging magical aura around him, Dart cautiously retreated to the basement, and let out a sigh of uncontrollably: "Every time you get close to the murder key." I can't help but be scared! ”

"I'm only going to be more useless than you!"

Kuoxi didn't hide anything from Dart, and when he saw the murder key again, he relayed his experience to the other party - although there were no friends in the blood clan, and even the family affection was extremely thin; But this did not prevent the two from establishing a deep friendship after breaking away from the shackles of their own families.

"If you could look directly at the murder key, I think you'd go one step further!"

Dart, accustomed to silence, gave a detailed answer to Koussey's exclamation; But Kuo Xi smiled bitterly, and slowly shook his head with the demeanor of a blood noble.

"Looking directly at the killer key is nothing more than hypnotizing yourself! Just really ignore it. to be able to overcome the fear in my heart! But I haven't seen a single existence like this except adults! Kuoxi continued: "And the gap between the adults and us, don't you understand? ”

"There's something important to adults here, and it needs to be guarded, or once a week!" Kotsy finally said.

"Hmm!"

Nodding. Dart agreed—the two of them were the only ones in the whole castle who were up to the job, except for the one who was supreme in their eyes; Although those metal puppets are also very powerful, the lack of thinking has become a shortcoming that these iron shells cannot hide; Especially in this kind of place where the whole body is moved, the two Grand Dukes of the Blood Clan don't want to see these iron shells tracking a rat or something. Destroy the entire basement of the magic circle.

As for the rest of the Cain Guard?

Aside from the two of them and the Lord, there were no other members of the Cain Guard!

A member of the Cain Guard for every term. It is impossible to enter the castle without permission, otherwise even the same people will be killed.

"I'll come first!"

Dart, who had expressed his thoughts, immediately turned into a pale golden bat and hung upside down in front of the door of the basement entrance; Kuosi shrugged his shoulders and turned to walk out—as the only three beings in the castle with normal minds, everything that remained in the castle naturally needed it to function after Dart guarded the basement; It has been following that adult for nearly a hundred years, and it will not let these trivial things trouble that adult.

And at the moment when the door of the basement closed, the fierce key, which shone with countless magical lights in the heavy magic array, jumped imperceptibly in the direction of the box that was moved in later; Then, in an instant, it was back to normal, as if nothing had happened.

……

Faith Illusion.

With the exact coordinates in his mind before the sun set in the west, Ye Qi successfully found the ruins surrounded by swamps; After arranging it, Ye Qi said hello to the strange wolf and entered the realm of faith illusion in front of him - after seeing the monstrous waves, towering trees, and even complete darkness, as well as the illusory golden statue illusion not long ago, Ye Qi thought that he had a general understanding of the illusion of faith.

However, when he entered the illusion of faith here, he realized the error of his previous thoughts—stone tablets about fifteen feet high and nine feet wide, arranged like city walls, stretching out hundreds of yards in front of him; And on each of these huge stone tablets are densely engraved with magical words; From time to time, a light blue magical aura flashed, which was very beautiful.

However, Ye Qi has no heart for appreciation; He glanced at the stretch of hundreds of yards, and then looked at the magic words engraved on the stone tablet in front of him, and his face immediately turned ugly.

It's not going to make me read all the magic words, is it?
