Chapter 2275 Black Box
Maybe it's just a person with the same name - if there is no rose emblem on the invitation.
But obviously, coincidences don't happen multiple times.
At the venue of the Holy Maiden Ceremony, the people who were involved in the "Book of Gaia" by the black mud were basically scattered among the different pages of the book.
If it is really the boss of [Rose Mansion] in this book world, it is not an incredible thing.
However, what makes [Yuliya] senior feel strange is that Boss Asaches is obviously just an ordinary person in the Free City of the Kingdom of Holy Light - but here he has become a high-ranking vampire noble?
What exactly happened, I am afraid, can only be known by asking in person.
However, after experiencing the Calvin incident in the world on the previous book page, senior [Yuliya] was not sure whether the boss of Azaches was also a resurrector of an outer god.
It couldn't be that coincidental - maybe even everyone who entered the Holy Maiden Ceremony venue that day was part of some kind of [arrangement].
This is terrible.
That is in the Kingdom of Holy Light... The Kingdom of Holy Light is clearly the back garden of a real oligarch in the dimensional void, the Lord of Heaven - who can secretly mess around in the back garden of such a terrifying power? Arrange all this?
boss?
Her first thought was of her boss—a thought she quickly dismissed.
Based on her understanding of the boss, the boss would not... at least not use this secret method - what other arrangements are there? Heaven is also sold in stores.
Therefore, in her opinion, the boss not only does not know how to do it, but even disdains it.
"It seems that the water in the Kingdom of Holy Light is a bit deep?" Senior Sister [Yulia] glanced at Medanzo secretly.
This senior [Eleven] has become silent since he heard [Azaches]'s name... Probably, something has been touched in his heart.
[Yulia] Senior sister is not in a hurry to ask Metanzo, there will always be time to tell her original meaning. Moreover, even if the questioning is successful at this time, I am afraid that most of the people are misled... Dealing with this senior [Eleven] requires a lot of perspective, otherwise you will be deceived at any time.
But surprisingly, it seems that even when she heard the name [Azaches], Clary didn't have any abnormal reaction... Logically speaking, if she could get information about [Boss Azaches], she would be the most excited , it should be the little maid from [Rose Mansion].
At this time, she was still elegant and calm, just like the noble lady in everyone's impression.
Clary was privately pulled out by the owner of the dungeon, Allen, and trained for another ten days... I don't know how the owner of the dungeon trained her.
Or... training?
Many restricted scenes flashed through senior sister [Yuliya's] mind.
……
The commotion in front of the Brilliant Palace soon subsided. The people who came here to participate in the selection, under the fierce gaze of the black-armored warrior, carefully followed the prompts and walked into the Brilliant Palace fearfully.
The palace should have originally belonged to the former [Divine Blessing Holy See], and then underwent later renovations to give it its current appearance, but the main structure has obviously not changed.
The religious overtones here are still very strong.
"Someone may have sneaked in." Medanzo whispered into senior sister [Yuliya's] ears without warning.
This was the first time it spoke after being silent in front of the door.
"You mean, that invitation letter?" Senior Sister [Yuliya] reacted quickly.
Medanzo just nodded, and then stopped talking again... [Yuliya] Senior Sister began to recall the details of the commotion just now.
The guy who was directly beheaded by the black-armored warrior, his behavior before his death did not look like the stubborn duck after the forged invitation was exposed...
Originally, given people's fear of this vampire noble, few people would dare to actually forge invitations to get through... There were still many corpses hanging in the square outside.
Someone...who, secretly switched the invitation letter that originally belonged to that unlucky guy and got in?
Thinking of this, Senior Sister [Yulia] took two quick steps, caught up with the dungeon master Allen, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Allen, you said we can meet the owner of this castle later." ”
The owner of the dungeon turned his head and glanced at [Yulia] at this time, "Who knows, maybe he will show up when he is interested."
"??"
The owner of the dungeon said calmly: "In the past, the selections were presided over by [Earl Rose]'s cronies. Only the winners can be brought to [Earl Rose]."
[Yulia] Senior Sister said at this time: "Mr. Allen, can you tell us more about this [Count Rose]?"
Allen, the owner of the dungeon, suddenly cast a suspicious look.
[Yulia] Senior Sister said calmly: "Perhaps, if we can know the mood of this [Count Rose], it will be helpful to the selection... After all, the selection is not just to select the person who can make this Earl Is the candidate satisfactory to you?”
"You are quite ambitious." The dungeon master suddenly chuckled, "But it is a good thing. In the past, those who were brought to participate in the selection were basically forced, and the majority were unwilling. Perhaps, only People like you, who are desperate to climb up even if they are willing to sell themselves to the devil, can get more opportunities.”
[Yuliya] Senior sister is not unhappy because someone revealed her true nature - mainly because, with her current strength, she is not allowed to be unhappy, right?
"About [Count Rose], we actually don't know much." The owner of the dungeon could only be heard saying slowly at this time: "We just know that when [The City of Divine Blessing] was defeated fifteen years ago, this count Appeared suddenly, killed a bishop left behind at [Divine Blessing Church] with his own hands, and opened [Divine Blessing Church] The Holy See] made great contributions to the defensive barrier, and was finally given this [City of Divine Blessing]... But no one knows the specific details, and [Count Rose] himself will not say more. As for [Count Rose]’s character, what can I say..."
……
……
Deep in the splendid palace, there is a huge library.
There were messy and discarded books everywhere on the floor.
These books are extremely precious. Most of them are from the collection of the Divine Blessing Church. The other small part are documents excavated from some ancient ruins that have been contributed by outside humans over the years.
A man with disheveled hair was standing in front of a bookshelf, quickly flipping through an ancient document.
"Where is it hidden..."
Closing the document in hand, the man let out a sigh. At this time, the door of the library slowly opened, and two girls with delicate faces walked slowly in.
They stood on both sides of the door, and the one who actually walked into the library was a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor and wearing luxurious clothes.
"Great Lord of Providence, your humblest servant has come."
The man completely ignored the middle-aged man's almost exaggerated performance. He just picked up another ancient book and read it carefully, "Nosta, I need more documents."
"As you wish, my master." The middle-aged man...the guy named Nosta smiled and bowed, "I will definitely send all the books in this world to you."< br>
The man nodded casually, then looked down at the document, concentrating on it.
Seeing this, Nosta shook her head slightly, and one of the maids at the door slowly walked towards the man in front of the bookshelf holding a plate.
On top of the tray, there was a crystal cup filled with bright red blood.
The smell of blood had already spread, and the man who was concentrating on reading the document subconsciously reached out to touch the cup - there was a slight pause, but he did not pause for too long.
He finally picked up the cup and said calmly: "It's nothing, let's go out."
Nosta bowed respectfully and backed away slowly. The two maids also did the same at this time, not daring to look like the man anymore - until the library door was closed again.
"You still don't want people to see this bloodthirsty attitude? It's really..."
Nosta chuckled softly outside the door, his eyes gloomy.
The two maids in front of the door couldn't help but tremble - they seemed to have heard something dangerous.
In an instant, Nosta directly hugged one of the maids into his arms, lowered his head and bit the maid's neck. The other maid was holding the tray tightly at this time, but she did not dare to raise her head.
After a long time, the bitten maid collapsed weakly on the ground, breathless.
Nosta took out his handkerchief and gently wiped his lips - he looked at the maid holding the tray indifferently and said calmly: "Clean the place."
At this time, a group of four black-armored warriors walked up to Nosta.
"Lord Nosta, all the people who participated in the selection this time have arrived except for one forger. In addition, the forger has been executed on the spot."
"Forger?" Nosta frowned, and then sneered: "These rats in [City of Divine Blessing] are really getting more and more restless... It seems that the corpses outside the square , the deterrent effect is no longer enough.”
He muttered something.
The black-armored warrior said: "Lord Nosta, do you need me to lead people to clean up some unruly street areas tonight?"
"There was too much noise." Nosta shook his head and glanced at the door of the library vaguely, "Our master is a pacifist."
The black-armored warrior said nothing more.
Just peace...peace, where are they going to get food from?
Do you really rely on this kind of selection that comes only every once in a while... The vampire's thirst for blood cannot be satisfied by just maintaining the lowest physiological needs.
"Come on, let me see the quality of this batch." Nosta said with a faint smile on his face.
……
……
"What, the initial selection was not what it is now?"
This is probably a place like a lounge - it can be considered a relatively private place, at least each representative has his own separate room.
The owner of the dungeon was sitting leisurely on the leather sofa. He was not surprised by Yulia's surprise, "In the beginning, it was an event similar to a gladiatorial arena, and the players on the field were basically extremely vicious, or The guy who did something wrong.”
[Yulia] Senior sister and Metanzo frowned at this time.
The voice of the dungeon master sounded again: "That is the arena of death. In every duel, someone will die - but the loser does not die in the hands of the winner, but in the hands of the audience."< br>
"Is there an audience?" [Yuliya] Senior Sister was startled.
"In this castle, there is not only one [Count Rose] who is a vampire." The owner of the dungeon sneered: "Did you see the black-armored warriors at the door before? Those are the ones who fell by themselves and became vampires. Guys. In the original arena, the losers would become tributes from the ground up and become food for the vampires. Their blood would be sucked up by the hungry beasts in an instant. Only the final winner would survive. —But even if he survives, he will become a black-armored warrior, or something similar.”
"But now?" [Yuliya] Senior Sister couldn't help but frowned.
The Death Arena is now a beauty pageant-like model. The span in between seems a bit too big?
"Who knows." The owner of the dungeon said calmly: "The selection model has gradually changed. Maybe the vampires are tired of the smell of the blood of these thugs, or maybe life is getting better and they plan to improve the food relationship... Very A simple question, if you were a vampire, would you rather suck the blood of a dirty thug, or would you rather hold a delicate beauty in your arms and then enjoy it slowly?"
[Yulia] Senior shrugged.
The owner of the dungeon smiled and said: "Now they are not as barbaric as before. These vampires also know that high-end food is hard to come by, so they will not destroy it easily. The boys and girls who are favored in the selection usually just know how to Being kept in captivity, although the fate of being used as food cannot be avoided in the end, at least it is high-grade food, and it is usually good to eat and live in... It will be many times better than living outside if it can be favored by [Count Rose] in the end. , grant me the first support, and become one of them... Don’t forget that it was me who recommended you to participate in this selection.”
Just after saying this, the owner of the dungeon suddenly stood up, as if planning to go out.
"Mr. Allen, where are you going?"
The owner of the dungeon said casually: "Although there are people from other small city-states who come to the castle, this is the [City of Divine Blessing] after all... Do you understand, this is my home court. If you don't go through the back door, , wouldn’t it be a waste of my efforts in [Divine Blessed City]?”
That makes sense!
Secret operations and so on, [Yuliya] is her favorite~! (End of chapter)
