Chapter 823 Are you still alive?
Opening the restaurant door, leaving behind a group of vampires whose hands and feet were tied like ropes, Li Chengqi continued walking along the corridor.
Not long after, when he opened a door again, he saw an empty hall and a Y-shaped staircase.
This made him realize, oh, he's gone around the castle and back to the entrance.
The door that Li Chengqi had kicked down was still on the ground. There was a figure like a squirrel, who probably heard Li Chengqi's approaching footsteps and poked his head there.
"You really came out."
When Kailin saw it was Li Chengqi, she was about to say hello, but when she heard this, she felt sick in her heart.
What does it mean?
Do you think I will be captured by a vampire on the way?
Although Kailin was asked to go out the same way Li Chengqi came, Li Chengqi didn't actually investigate carefully along the way, so he couldn't say for sure if there was anything he missed.
Although it was a shame, he was a lifesaver after all. Kailin had no choice but to swallow her complaints, lowered her head and said: "Thank you very much for lending a helping hand. What is your name...?"
"It seems I didn't give my name. My name is Li Chengqi."
Kailin thought the name was a bit strange, but she didn't say anything. People are free to choose whatever name they want.
Compared to this, Kailin quickly said:
"Mr. Li Chengqi, I ask you to send me back to the Demon Kingdom of Oswea. It is very unsafe here. You will definitely get a satisfactory reward."
Kailin doesn't know the details of Li Chengqi, but she knows how to read it.
Li Chengqi is wearing a golden-red robe. Just by looking at this look, you can tell it's worth a lot. And since he didn't wear armor when he came to the vampire's hometown and walked around without any injuries, he's probably extremely powerful. Master.
Although you won't encounter vampires in the forest as long as you leave the castle, it is unnecessary to expect a princess who has been pampered since she was a child to be able to go down the mountain on her own. She will most likely get lost in the forest and eventually turn into a piece of shit from a wild beast. .
So after Kailin walked out according to Li Chengqi's instructions, she stood at the door and didn't dare to run around. She thought it would be Li Chengqi who came out later, so she could ask him for help. If what came out was a vampire...
Anyway, there is no difference between going into the woods and staying in a vampire's castle. There are people dying on both sides, so it doesn't matter.
"I don't have time to send you back now."
"I can wait here."
Kailin really didn't dare to enter the forest. When she was waiting at the door, she saw those red eyes appearing in the forest. Although she didn't see clearly what kind of beast they were, she thought they were definitely not beasts that could move around the vampire castle. Vegetarian.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a howl of wolves coming from the forest outside the castle, mixed with the sound of rustling through the forest.
Kailin said she wanted to wait at the door, but she estimated that waiting here would not end well. However, Li Chengqi didn't want to bring a drag bottle. He had no fighting experience and relied on his divine power to fight hard.
After thinking about it, Li Chengqi grabbed a spear placed in the hand of the armor on the wall, walked outside the castle and drew a circle around Kailin.
"Just wait in this circle and don't go out. I'll take you back when I'm free."
An ordinary circle was not a magic circle at all, but at the same time as the circle was drawn, a flash of golden light appeared out of thin air and then quickly disappeared, like an invisible spherical wall.
It is the best choice to let her wait at the door first. If she follows Li Chengqi up, then Li Chengqi will have the opportunity to experiment whether he can resurrect people without going through death.
It's just that this operation is a bit too warm.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Li Chengqi threw away the spear and walked up the stairs. The stairs in the hall can only go to the second floor, and from the outside, it seems that this castle must have three or four floors. I guess you will have to find your way up there.
But it's not a big problem. It doesn't matter if you can't find the way. Just grab your tongue and give it a beating and ask.
I really have to thank vampires for being able to communicate. If it were a skeleton zombie, Li Chengqi would have to run around the house on his own.
The Y-shaped staircase connected the two doors on the second floor, but it didn't matter which one he took, because after Li Chengqi opened one of the doors, he found that both doors were connected to the same wide hall.
The stone pillars spread out one after another, extending all the way to the innermost part. As they walked forward, the light blue immortal flames stretched the shadows of these pillars thin and long.
Compared with downstairs, it was obviously better maintained here. He stepped on the red carpet and continued to walk forward. Not long after, Li Chengqi saw a throne poking at the end of the hall.
This should be the audience hall, where the king usually meets with ministers.
Almost all the castles in the Demon Realm have the same layout. Of course, the Royal City of Silver City also has an audience hall, which is almost the same as here. The biggest difference is that there is a huge painting of Li Chengqi hanging behind Viola's throne. There is a portrait of a middle-aged man hanging behind the throne.
He was about forty or fifty years old, with a neat beard and a typical aristocratic dress, but his face was a little pale.
Li Chengqi had also seen the small portrait of the same man in the corridor downstairs. This man should be the so-called Duke.
Looking around, Li Chengqi wanted to see if there was a way out, but there was nothing noteworthy in the audience hall.
But at this moment, the sound of stones rubbing against each other broke into his ears, and Li Chengqi instinctively looked up.
A large mass of darkness was seen covering Li Chengqi's face, wrapping his whole body like a black ball with a diameter of three meters.
This is dark magic, which is a relatively low-level spell in magic.
But the low level is very useful. Even races with dark vision like tiefling cannot see through this magical darkness.
"Do it!"
With an angry shout, several figures jumped out from the dark space in the ceiling, landed around the darkness surrounding Li Chengqi, and recited spells at the same time.
And in that darkness, a beam of light suddenly lit up, and it was torn apart by the light like a broken egg.
Darkness is useful only when it can block the field of vision for an instant, and darkness is actually a spell from the Evocation School, not an illusion, so the ability to see through illusions is useless to it.
But it is a low-level spell after all. The easiest way to dispel darkness is to use strong light.
Li Chengqi just slightly increased the brightness of the light ball following him, which was enough to dispel the darkness technique.
It sounds like the use of darkness is lonely. In fact, when being shrouded by darkness, normal adventurers will not rush out rashly, because the enemy will definitely be waiting for you outside the darkness. If you rush out, you will hit the edge of the knife. .
The group of people who carried out the sneak attack took advantage of this mentality. All they needed was to stop the target from moving in a short period of time.
The moment the dark spell broke, the spells spoken by several people came to an end. Their wrists split open on their own, and chains made of blood flowed out of the wound. With a clattering sound, five chains flowed out at the same time. Li Chengqi's legs wrapped around him and quickly wrapped him up. At a glance, he was stunned to be wrapped into a rice dumpling by the blood-colored chains.
This is blood magic unique to vampires.
