288 clones
Long before the wizard left Dillari's Mansion, in the backyard of Vamos Mansion a few miles away, Thélisses in the attic had already sensed that something was wrong, and at the moment of Mrs. Vamos's death, her face turned a desperate gray, while Duncan, who was sorting out the materials nearby, had a look of ecstasy on his face.
He clearly felt that the curse that had coiled in his heart was gone, and it made him look up to the sky and let out a string of maniacal laughter.
Although he is already an undead creature in the classic definition, he is plagued by the threat of 'complete destruction', and his psychological pressure can be imagined, he has not eaten enough and slept well for this time, for fear that every time he falls asleep, he will be cursed to death by the crazy woman in his sleep.
And the torture and sarcasm he suffered at both ends in three days made him even more painful, and whenever he closed his eyes, there was only hatred and despair.
Now that these burdens are gone, how can he not be ecstatic?
From this day on, he will be free, and all his enemies will die.
"What are you laughing at? Master's death! Dead!" Thalliss' scream came to an abrupt end with Duncan's throat, her eyes filled with fear, and at the sight of the blood-red eyes of the male vampire, she suddenly realized that she was no longer qualified to scold the poor creature called the Joker.
The fear of death immediately filled her eyes.
"This lowly female surname. Duncan squeezed the contemptuous salutation out of his fangs, and stared at Thallises' terrified eyes with the same contempt: "From this day forward, you are my slave!"
He laughed wildly and stomped Thalysis to the ground like a mass of garbage, and the female vampire struggled constantly, screaming in a series of ways to try to get rid of the crazy clown, but alas, her strength was not as strong as that of the higher-ranking Duncan, and she was quickly subdued.
Seeing that this once humble but arrogant female vampire was powerless in front of him, and this face seemed to be replaced by another face, Duncan laughed even more maniacally: "No one can control me, no one, whether it is a human or a vampire!
"You madman, idiot, clown!" screamed Thellisses, "destroy this place and get out of here!" those humans have killed their masters, and if they weren't all idiots, they would soon find this place!"
This sentence made Duncan's expression instantly freeze in a state of emotional venting, and reason reminded him that he should consider Thallises's words, and finally he calmed down, let go of the boots that were stepping on Thallises, and waved his sleeves elegantly: "Before leaving, gather all the slaves here, from today onwards, I will be their master!"
As soon as he said this, he felt that something was wrong, perhaps he was so excited that his IQ decreased—which was understandable, but it was not easy to take back what he said, not to mention that Thallisis could only swallow his anger in the face of such an impudent order.
But a sudden interjection of the voice told him not to ignore his mistakes:
"Oh, what an ambitious statement, it's incredible. ”
Duncan was stunned, and then felt an amazing oppressive force pressing down from above, his blood trembled at this moment, and Thalliss, who had just walked away, trembled and knelt on the ground, Duncan's neck stiffly raised his head with the blue tendons exposed at the corners of his forehead, and his eyes saw a pale face with only two eyes exposed, and his condescending eyes seemed to be smiling.
There was no need for this person to introduce himself, just the feeling of blood teleportation to him made him understand the identity of this Faceling.
His mind went blank, all dignity, freedom, and calmness disappeared, his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a 'snap', and his hands and head touched the cold ground together.
"Oh, I've always believed that strength and ambition should go hand in hand, and given your stupidity, I think it's necessary to give you a curse. Albach burrowed into Duncan's ears with a slight mocking tone, and a wave of humiliation and despair suddenly floated in his blank mind, but the greater fear only made him stiffen to endure, knowing that his trembling crotch was completely soaked and fell to the floor drop by drop.
The stain didn't last long, and when the Church of Tyre and the higher-ups of Simon came in early in the morning to search while the higher-ups of the Vamos family had been captured by the red-robed mage society, they saw only a burning ruin, which was a terrible sight.
At this time, the shocking changes that occurred in the Delarry Mansion last night had spread throughout the entire West Gate City.
A group of red-robed mages were attacked by dark creatures at the banquet in the Delarry's mansion, and successfully killed the vampire with bad intentions, and what shocked everyone was that the true identity of this vampire was actually Lady Dahia of the Vamos family.
This woman, who was not often seen on the upper floors of Simon, had swept the Dragon's Coast with her rich social skills, but it was only ten years ago that it had gradually become secluded, and it was only now that it became clear why, that the corpse that had been identified by the Temple of Tyre and most of the Order Church in the temple district was in the council hall of Simon, and any defense by anyone from the Vamos family was in vain.
A group of Simon upper echelons discussed the proposal proposed by the Temple of Tyre for a while, and passed the proposal to search the Vamos family - after many orders faction churches identified the dead Lady Vamos as an extremely powerful duke-level vampire, which undoubtedly surprised everyone- All the coercion they have been subjected to over the years has come from this mysterious duke, and her death has made most of the Simon nobles who can still read a certain amount of food smell of the unusual, although in the eyes of almost everyone it is an accident related to the Searle Concession, although some nobles have the idea of breaking free from the control of the vampires.
The Church of Tyre reacted almost immediately, offering to offer the paladins to search the duke's remnants, but few responded.
They could accept the Church of Tyre to search the mansion of the Vamos family - after all, the exposure of the vampire duke provided enough reason for it, but the magnates would never accept these righteous apostles to stick their claws into their homes, and the Simons, who were very businessmen, took it seriously**- Rather than exposing it to outsiders, the Simon nobles preferred to investigate on their own, but more vampire minions remained hidden, and after a brief panic in the duke's death, those vampire minions lurked again, waiting for a new opportunity.
The church of Tyre, which advocated taking advantage of the situation to clean up the vampires, was suddenly embarrassed, and at the same time, another problem was also placed in front of the Ximen nobles:
What should happen to the Simon nobles who were captured by the Serens? They are still waiting for rescue, their families are still blocking the council hall of Simon City every day, constantly crying, while the gates of the Serre Concession are closed, the posters are posting to refuse all negotiations, and their attitude is extremely arrogant, and the commoners and some powerful people who have not been affected are also said to be panicked, and many of them have begun to consider a way out in the event of chaos.
At the same time, the creatures of darkness were more active at night, even affecting the Temple of Tyre and Simon Council several times - it was clear that the Night Mask was trying to convey something.
This shocking change plunged almost the entire Ximen City into earth-shattering chaos, nobles, commoners, aboveground, underground, light, and darkness fell into chaos, and the people who set off the storm hid in a corner that no one knew, resting at the same time, preparing for the next cloud-over-rain.
When the awakened wizard announced his discovery, everyone in the bedroom was amazed, and the surprise was accompanied by bursts of absurdity and incredulity:
"You mean Albach, the Lord of the Night, a clone of Manson?"
"Probably a big name, but when his energy-absorbing technique was eating away at my mind, I felt very familiar with the many fragments of the methodology that underpinned the operation of that spell. The wizard rubbed his head and looked at the masked wizard standing still beside the bed: "Except for many more complex and elaborate details, almost exactly the same as the fragments of his methodology—at least seventy-five percent similar, if it is the relationship between mutilation and completeness, I believe my guess is correct." ”
He exhaled and glanced at the masked wizard again, "What's more, they are exactly the same size. ”
"Oh, that's good news, no wonder. Hylaste suddenly said: "If this is not the case, even if you don't die, your strength will be weakened by half, and it is impossible for you to wake up so easily, well, if my servants don't cast spells on you, you will wake up by yourself in a few days." ”
"Of course. "The wizard's heart is full of happiness, it is true that no legendary spellcaster is a character who can be sent away with three punches and two kicks, originally with the ability of the Mither core and super spell-casting skills, Penny thinks that when he meets a legendary spellcaster, even if he can't beat it, there is no problem to run away - most wizards prefer to think about the problem of escape, which is why the wizard decided to send out all odds to plot against the Duke of Dahia - It's not that he didn't expect a higher-level spellcaster to get involved, in his opinion, the worst outcome is to give up the action, and he won't be exposed, but Albuck taught him a good lesson, if his brain is not burned out in the future, it's better not to face any legendary spellcaster alone, especially a guy like the Night King who is obviously developed by eating meat.
However, it was a surprise to learn the identity of the Night King, and if it weren't for the vampire king's spell that slammed into Penny's head, it might have been a blessing in disguise.
Knowing the methodology of a spellcaster, even if it is only incomplete, it is of course no longer so difficult to deal with this spellcaster, even if the opponent can cast legendary spells, for this, Penny has full confidence.
"Oh, you know, there's a big difference between a broken methodology and a complete methodology. A fellow wizard and knowing Penny's enemies, Helast Blackrobe knew the wizard's thoughts: "You must know that any mage will constantly revise his methodology as his training progresses, albeit slowly—but it does exist, and although some of the essential flaws of the methodology cannot be remedied, it is true that some of the flaws will be slowly corrected, or the details will be improved, you know, the validity period of a methodology is only twenty years at most." ”
Hylast explained, "You must also know that the gap between this crippled clone and the Night King's magic level is far more than twenty years. ”
"But I can still use this broken methodology against his magic. Penny shook his head: "I don't need to completely restrain him, I just need to design some spells that can stifle some of his spell abilities." ”
"That's fine. Hylast nodded, and it didn't take too long.
The broken methodology is also a methodology, and in the final analysis, the moment the Night King's identity is discovered by Penny, his end is already doomed, after all, no matter how the methodology evolves, its core is difficult to change - unless a wizard is willing to give up everything like the black robe, but the vampire obviously won't do that.
"Oh, that's an understatement. The three women next to her were confused, but Lanny understood a little—although she didn't have any magical talent, but following the wizard and Nephes, coupled with her more mature thinking, still made her somewhat out of the 'law blind' group: "It sounds like you killed the vampire king with your mouth." ”
"Perhaps. The wizard shrugged his shoulders and hid his still somewhat groggy forehead, confident that he would not be crushed again if the faceless one reappeared, but how to restrain the hammer, which was almost as powerful as an artifact, was a problem.
But it's not a big deal: "Lannie. ”
"Huh?" the Black Knight raised his ears.
"In a few days, I may need you to act with me. His eyes flickered twice.
"Dealing with vampires?" Lannie blinked, "It's finally time for you to use me." ”
The wizard was silent, if it was necessary, he really needed some military help - the elite soldiers of the Ser Concession were too unreliable.
"My lord, I'm going with you too. Nephies bit her finger and leaned her face in front of the wizard, "You just looked like that, it's scary." ”
Penny stroked her hair and put her on his lap.
