"Your Majesty Tikal, Lord Tripwood." Dorothy bowed in a ladylike manner. The two attendants behind her also bowed, but they remained vigilant and stared at the intruders.
The person in front of him was beautiful, but beside her was a tall beauty with the figure and looks of a model, who changed her style from time to time. Coupled with the thousands of riddles he had seen in the past, even though Lin admitted that Dorothy was a rare beauty, he wasn't so mesmerized that he forgot himself.
On the other hand, the appearance of this person and the information revealed by the Vampire Prince before he died made Lin look at the Lordess with a doubtful gaze. He asked, "Were you the one who revealed our whereabouts to the vampires here?"
Such an accusation made the calm and indifferent female vampire's expression change drastically. She said, "Your Excellency, this is a misunderstanding. I'm actually here on my father's orders to persuade Prince Berger not to act rashly. Because we heard that the remnants of Marquis Mesaroche had come to Twilight City and slandered the prince with the intention of harming you. Father didn't want to ruin the friendly relationship with you, so he sent me here. I've already handed the relevant letter to Prince Berger. I believe you can find this letter in the study. "
"Do you believe what she said?" Fen ignored the woman in front of her and turned her head to ask a certain someone.
Although he didn't trust her, Lin didn't think that she was the mastermind behind the scenes. At least, she didn't seem like a wise person who had victory in her hands. Moreover, she wanted to ambush him with a lineup of pure vampires despite knowing his abilities. She was trying to trick those vampires.
If he hadn't been restrained by Fen and used the ultimate move, even if there really was an army of vampires here, it would be useless. So Lin eased his cheeks and said, "What she said should be credible. She doesn't have any leverage to deceive people, does she? "
She pouted and muttered to herself. The Lich seemed to be very dissatisfied with such an answer, so she looked at the female vampire for the first time and asked, "Who's your father?"
Is she going to investigate my background? Although Dorothy was puzzled, she didn't dare not answer and said respectfully, "My father is Archduke Ishtevan Nagy, and my name is Dorothy Nagy."
"Then who's your grandfather?"
"My grandfather? My grandfather's name was Markovich Nagy. He's no longer alive. "
"Oh, it's him. Little Ma. " Putting the magic gun away, Fen said with nostalgia, "That coward didn't live for long. He still died in the end."
Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Fen's comment. "Is it really okay to criticize someone's ancestor in front of them?"
"I'm not criticizing you. I'm just telling the truth." Fen curled her lips in dissatisfaction. "I did look for that brat when I was recruiting back then, but he didn't come back. In the end, when he heard that my goal was to slay a God, he was so scared that he peed his pants and ran away. Calling him a coward is already considered polite. "
Lin slightly apologized, but Dorothy just shook her head helplessly. Fen, on the other hand, snatched Lin's wand and started fiddling with the blueprint of the Twilight Castle. "Little girl, do you know where these vampires hid their treasures?"
Dorothy was quite interested in the blueprint. Or rather, she was interested in all the new things that Lin had created, but she didn't dare to ask too many questions. After identifying the map and their location, she pointed at a certain place and said, "This is Prince Berger's study. I've been there before. The one next to it seems to be a secret room. Maybe we can look there. "
Fen threw the wand back into Lin's arms and said happily to everyone, "Let's go and see what good things this prince has."
She then walked briskly toward the study. Dorothy, who was behind them, asked with a puzzled expression, "Is that person really the Demon King?"
"Your prince and her subordinates are all dead. I only killed a few of them. The rest are all her achievements. What do you think?"
Even though Lin and the others could break into her hiding place — actually, the room where she was under house arrest — Dorothy already had a bad premonition. Now, she had only confirmed this premonition. She couldn't say whether it was good or bad.
Anyway, the prince that she had a close relationship with had changed his usual behavior and wanted to use her as a hostage to threaten her father. The little bit of affection she had for him in the past had long been deducted to nothing. After hearing what had happened to the prince, the only thing she felt was a sense of relief.
As for a certain Lich who had let herself loose, she had no interest in rummaging through the bookshelves and documents after breaking into the master's study. She went straight for the secret room. Actually, after confirming the direction of the secret room, she just needed to find the mechanism to open it.
But knowing that the target was behind a certain wall, Fen felt that it was stupid to still look for the hidden switch. So, she came to the brick wall where the painting of the dead vampire prince was hanging. She used her right hand like a knife and stabbed it into the wall. Then, she flipped her palm outwards and pulled outwards. The entire wall fell to the ground and revealed the secret room behind the treasure.
Lin, who had rushed over, followed by Dorothy and her servants, saw that the certain Lich had a different way of opening the door. Even if they had any objections, they swallowed them all and didn't dare to say anything.
What a joke, it was so easy to tear down a wall. What trouble would it be to tear down a person?
There were only a few boxes of gold and other valuables in the secret room. They weren't even full yet. To an individual, this was a considerable amount of wealth. But to an organization, this amount of money was nothing.
"Kaya, come and check these boxes. Pick out the essence and take it with you. Leave the rest behind. "
How generous, sister. Do you know how much money you threw away when you said that?
As for the stacks of weapons and equipment, the rather knowledgeable Lich didn't even look at them and directly skipped over them. Lin didn't have any objections to this, because the weapons and equipment that vampires liked to use, including the materials they were made of, were a little unorthodox for most people. It was mainly because of the vampires' habits in battle. They emphasized their own recovery ability and used all kinds of strange killing techniques.
Even if they could kill someone with a single slash, they wouldn't be called nobles in the dark if they didn't have a bunch of tricks up their sleeves. This was why Lin agreed with Fen when she said that vampires were a sick and crazy race. And this characteristic was also the main reason why vampires didn't have a good reputation in the Maze Land. They were a race that loved to abuse.
As for the art pieces in the secret room, Fen asked Halloumi to appraise them. The blonde girl seemed to be quite talented in this area. At least, the things that she thought were good were pleasing to the eyes of others. Of course, not all of them were expensive items.
However, as there weren't many of these items, and they were traveling with a group of people, they couldn't possibly bring along anything too heavy. That was why Fen had Halloumi check the weapons and see if there were any special materials in the pile of weapons. If not, the broken weapons and armors could be melted down and rebuilt.
Her main purpose was to connect to the other end of the secret room, a circular staircase that led downwards. She picked up a lantern with a special pattern on the wall. It was obviously a magic tool. Fen stepped on the stairs and carefully walked down.
Lin wasn't very interested in treasures. It was fine as long as he had enough money. Too much would only bring trouble. Also, the Maze Land wasn't some advanced entertainment world. His most direct thought was that he had nowhere to spend his money. If only he could have a NS … No! Even if he had a Hongbai computer, a TV, and a few hundred card cassettes, it wouldn't be a problem for someone to kneel down and lick his boots.
So, Lin only glanced at the items in the secret room. Since he didn't see anything interesting, he focused his attention on the Lich, who was acting strangely, and followed her downstairs.
On the other hand, Dorothy and her servants, who were standing outside the secret room, felt awkward. For Dorothy, she wanted to turn around and run because these people were too scary. But in the depths of her consciousness, there was a voice telling her to stay. Otherwise, she would miss out on something very important. But what that something was, she couldn't tell.
The Demon King went downstairs, and so did the Magician. Only the two magic apprentices were left to check the huge amount of wealth here. Then … what should she do?
Clenching her teeth, Dorothy ordered the two servants who were greedily looking at the piles of wealth with shining eyes, "You two, guard outside the study. Although I don't know if there will be other people, you still have to prevent others from coming in."
"Yes, Young Mistress." The two servants bowed politely, but they had evil smiles on their faces. Dorothy didn't care if the two of them had misinterpreted her meaning. She had said what she needed to say and given the warnings that she needed to give.
All this time, she had been preaching Cuipwood's theory of natural disasters. Not only should this Magician not be provoked, but she shouldn't even get close to him. But such good intentions were always questioned. She held onto the idea that she couldn't blame others for her own death and watched as wave after wave of her compatriots died. Anyway, vampires weren't a race that preached about compatriots, so of course, she didn't care.
Following in the footsteps of the Demon King and the Magician, Dorothy also walked down the spiral staircase. The two apprentices who were checking didn't stop her and directly ignored the Vampire Lord that they had dealt with before.
The staircase was very narrow, just enough for one person to pass through. Occasionally, her shoulder would even brush against the wall. The staircase was also quite narrow. Even vampires with night vision seemed to be blinded here and could only grope their way forward.
Logically speaking, she was the terrifying creature in the bedside stories of ordinary humans, but the more Dorothy walked down, the more ominous premonition grew in her heart. It was as if the real horror was at the end of this path. The wall that she groped with her hands gradually became less like a brick wall, and more like a living creature that rose and fell with its breathing.
Her hands no longer felt like sand and stone, but as if there was a sticky liquid that made her fingertips sticky and slippery. The air was also filled with an indescribable smell. It wasn't the usual smell that the nose could smell, but a strange smell that went straight to the heart. It was unforgettable after experiencing it once, but it was also indescribable.
