She looked like she was still alive. Lin asked loudly, "Are you okay?"
As if to appease the Tower Master's heart, he put down Hallumi's hand. The girl cried out, "Teacher, Kaya was bitten. She's unconscious now. "Then she was pulled up again.
"Mika, don't worry, sir. Do as we say, no one will be hurt."
Then who were these people? Spies from the Thieves' Guild? Assassins from the Assassin's Guild? Or those species that lived in the Dark World? Without thinking too much, Lin responded to the uninvited guest and said, "Okay, I can cooperate. It's just that I'm not used to talking in this dark environment. Do you mind if I turn on the light? "With that, Lin raised his right hand and was about to flick the second ring on his pinky finger.
"Hey, hey, hey! Please don't act rashly. " The hidden person hurriedly stopped Lin and grabbed Hallumi's neck at the same time. He lifted her up a little and said, "In your Magic Tower, I don't want any irrational actions that cause us to misunderstand. So, please put your hands where we can see them and don't make any strange movements. I think the atmosphere is good for talking in this environment, don't you think? "
"Okay, I agree." He loosened his hands and put them in the light so that they could be seen. But it wasn't Lin's habit to be completely controlled by others. After all, the lights of the Tower of the Great Sage could be adjusted by hand. "But I still don't like talking to people in a dark environment, so, Wright!"
With the command of the secret spell, the hall on the first floor was instantly lit up. Lin didn't move, didn't turn his head, and glanced around, trying to remember all the positions and numbers of the enemies. But what stunned him was that there were many screams coming from all around. Under the illumination of the lamp, there were human figures that had been burned into ashes. They were either struggling or trying to hide themselves. But without exception, they all turned into a pile of dust on the floor.
Lin stood there stupidly, his mind in a mess, trying to figure out the situation. And Hallumi, who had fallen to the ground, hurriedly caught the unconscious black-haired, brown-skinned girl and helped her sit on the ground. "Teacher, teacher, come and see Kaya."
He came to the girl's side to check her injuries. There was a very distinctive bite mark from a tiger's teeth, and there were more than ten piles of dust on the ground. Was the person who came in to cause trouble a vampire? Then why did they all turn into ashes when the lights were turned on?
After coming to the maze world, Lin did not have any experience dealing with dark creatures. He had only heard rumors about them. As for the Dark Nobles of the Mysterious Land, the characteristics of vampires were similar to the legends on Earth. The only thing they had in common was that sunlight was their fatal weakness.
However, before today, Lin thought that it was because of the great power contained in the sunlight. In other words, it was a characteristic of the mystical side that caused harm to vampires. But now, it seemed that this was not the case.
The lights in the Magic Tower simulated the sunlight during the day, which was a combination of light of multiple wavelengths. The reason was that this kind of lighting should be the kind that the people in the maze were most used to, and it should have the least negative effect on their vision. But this kind of light was fatal to vampires. Was it because of a special wavelength of light, or was it a combination of artificial sunlight? Or was it like some sci-fi vampire novels on Earth, where ultraviolet rays were the cause?
"Teacher, is Kaya okay?" Hallumi was still worried about her companion. Lin roughly understood the cause and effect, and after confirming the rumors he had heard, he comforted the girl and said, "Don't worry, this little bit of time is not enough for the vampire to complete the Embrace ritual. Besides, the person who bit her is dead, and this is only in the early stages. As long as the remaining poison is expelled, she should be fine. So, girl, take out all the garlic we have. "
"Okay, I'll go get it right away." With that, the girl was about to run to the warehouse. But her teacher grabbed her by the back of the collar, and she could not run away. Lin heard that the vampires in the Mysterious Land were not afraid of garlic. They just hated it. Although garlic could not hurt vampires, it could remove the poison in the early stages. That was why he ordered the girl to go get it. But, were the dead vampires all the invaders?
"Don't rush, let's confirm if there are any other enemies in the tower."
Hearing this, the girl adjusted her earrings and immediately used the Water Mirror spell to bring up the scanning images of the creatures on each floor of the Tower of the Great Sage. She changed the scanning mode several times, but the results were the same. There were still three signs of life hidden in the dining hall.
With a wave of his hand, the door to the dining hall opened wide. Lin shouted inside, "Those who are hiding inside, come out. Your companions outside are all dead, don't think you have a chance to escape. "
A flustered and immature male voice said, "Tower Master, do you know you've gotten yourself into big trouble? Do you know who you've killed? "
"Oh, I've gotten myself into trouble," Lin said nonchalantly, "Then there's no need to keep you alive. Lai … "" Wait! "
The secret spell that was about to be uttered was blocked, and the person inside said, "Aren't you afraid of the vampires' revenge if you kill us just like that?"
"I've already killed a bunch of them. Isn't it too late to be afraid of the vampires' revenge? So, killing one is killing, killing two is killing, killing a bunch of them, then killing three more is the same. So, goodbye, Lai … "" Wait! "
The secret incantation was blocked again, and the person inside said in exasperation, "Why do you want to kill people at the drop of a hat? Do you know who is with us? "" Kish! "Kish, you can't say."
Hearing another voice stop him, Lin said nonchalantly, "That's right, you can't say. Anyway, I've already killed a bunch of people outside. Just say that I've gotten myself into big trouble, and it doesn't seem to make a difference if you add a few more. So, just let me not know, and then you can obediently die. If you great vampires want revenge, then just come. At worst, we'll sleep with the lights on. Lai … "" Wait! "
The person inside said in a panic, "The person beside us is a relative of Grand Duke Ishtevan Nagy, Princess Dorothy Nagy. If you kill her, you'll have to face the endless revenge of the vampires. "
"You idiot. Tell me, what's the difference between the vampires' revenge and the endless revenge of the vampires to me? Since it makes no difference to me whether I kill you or not. Then why should I leave you alive and have three more enemies in the future? Lai … "" Wait. "
This time, it was a woman who shouted to stop. It seemed to be that princess. Lin heard the other person say calmly, "Your Excellency, today's matter is our fault. I promise that after you let us go, we won't take any revenge. Is that enough? "
"Your Highness, killing a bunch of your people was also due to my carelessness. I didn't know you were so fragile that you were all finished when I turned on the lights. So, I promise that after the three of you go to hell and meet your companions, I won't kill my way to your lair and carry out any revenge. Tell me, is that okay? Lai … "" Wait! "" Wait! "" Wait! "
This time, the three of them shouted in unison. Lin waited for a while before he heard one of them say, "Your Excellency, don't go too far. Grand Duke Nagy is someone you can't afford to offend. "His attitude of gnashing his teeth was very obvious.
"Anyway, we've already gotten into big trouble, so what's the difference between offending him and not offending him? The Magic Tower is not an easy target to attack. If you want to take revenge, I'll just kill you. Anyway, killing dark creatures like you doesn't violate the Society of Sorcerers' taboo. Maybe I can even get a bounty. "
"Then what do you want to let us go? Do you want money? We can give you MK (1000 gold) as a ransom. "
Lin said disdainfully, "Hmph, MK. Girl, go upstairs and bring down MK (10000 gold) for these people to take a look, then turn on the lights and send them on their way. "
"Wait, what treasure do you want? An endless bag of money? An emerald bow? "
"It's all the same treasure. If I let you go, you'll kill your way to my door and take back the treasure in the meantime. "
"I … I can be your servant. I'll kill any vampire who comes to my door with my own hands."
"Not rare. Brittle guys who die when I turn on the lights, I'll kill as many as come. With you, I'll have to turn on the lights. "
"Don't think that Grand Duke Nagy only has vampire warriors under his command."
"This is a magic tower. It's responsible for guarding one side, a fortress that protects the civilized world. If I was afraid of you dark creatures coming to attack, I would have hidden in Wulian City a long time ago. I wouldn't choose to be stationed here. "
"Then what do you want in order to let us go?"
"I don't know what I have to and can only get from you. If you want to live, you have to propose conditions that are attractive enough to me. Only then will you have a chance to live. So don't mention some irrelevant and useless conditions. You have to think carefully about what I might need. If you can't think of anything, then die. "
"What if I promise that no vampire will come to trouble you because of what happened today?"
This time, it was the princess who spoke. However, Lin still had the same attitude and said, "Believe in your promise? You speak as if you have a lot of credibility. Is it that in the rumors of you vampires, humans who become mages are all fools? "
The princess who was hiding in the darkness said in a calm voice, "Use the Vampire Covenant to swear." However, the other two people stopped her angrily.
"Vampire Covenant? What the hell is that? "
"With my origin blood, I swear to the moon of Gudalana in the sky. If I break the oath, I won't be protected by the moonlight. I'll be exposed to the sun and burn to ashes. Of course, if you're willing to accept my embrace and become my kin, I'll definitely protect your safety. No one will hurt you. "
"Yes, and then in the magic tower, I'll turn on the light and kill myself. I don't know how long you've lived. This … "Lin forgot the other party's name and simply skipped it." Yes, princess. There's no need to say those words that are obviously meant to deceive a child, lest the person talking is stupid. As for the Vampire Covenant, it sounds feasible. But there are some things that I still have to clarify first. Before that, please show yourselves. A face-to-face conversation is always more sincere than a secretive method. "
One of the men said worriedly, "You're not going to trick us into showing ourselves and then kill us, are you?"
"If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have talked so much with you. Don't you know that bad people often die from talking too much? Besides, if I want you to die, I'll just turn on the light. Does it matter if you show up or not? "
Lin, who was standing outside the door, saw three black shadows walk out from a corner of the restaurant. In that dim orange light, the black fog dissipated, and a pale, beautiful face without a trace of blood appeared first. The black gown accentuated her breasts and wrapped around her waist, revealing her beautiful figure. The long dress was like mist, swaying gently as her legs moved, as if it didn't exist in the world, only in a painting.
She lifted her dress lightly and bowed slightly. "Your Excellency, I am Dorothy Nagy, the only relative of my father, Grand Duke Ishtevan Nagy."
