Section 20 Offense and Defense (5)
The slender floor-to-ceiling windows opened when the three bats were about to meet them. After they were welcomed, the wide room suddenly fell into pure darkness. The leaves designed as fish belly shape according to the characteristics of solid wood did not leave enough gaps like ordinary blinds. The sunlight stayed on the smooth and delicate hardwood floor for a short moment, and even the dust in the air had not illuminated it, and it was closed outside the ancient building again.
A vampire was waiting for them at the other end of the room. His face was serious and he made a welcome gesture to the three "vampires" who had returned to their original state when they landed on the ground, and signaled them to follow him. The bookshelf at the end of the wall rotated silently. The non-human steps leading the way in front were as quick as a clever black cat. The winding and narrow stairs had no lighting facilities. Except for the new "baby", the night vision ability of each vampire did not require those - the vampire kept facing them, rather than trust, it was the slightest mind that grew out of contempt and arrogance that made him unaware or noticed that the three non-humans behind him seemed to have restrained their breath and strength for the sake of politeness. Two of them had an inner feeling that was completely inconsistent with the identity they indicated.
At the end of the stairs is a small door, and the guide took the lead in walking out. Outside is a cold and wide space, with no candles or electric lights, let alone sunlight. But the room was not immersed in the heavy darkness. It was shrouded in soft and shallow silver lights. There were no bright and warm flames in the hanging chandeliers, only white double-petaled flowers that had most of the moisture removed. Alex could recognize this as a strange flower from Dongda 6, which was called "Lunny White", because this snow-white flower contains a lot of phosphorus and can produce a cold light at night.
There are more than a dozen handfuls of velvet or brocade sand in the center of the room. The small furniture in groups - not big, all representing a certain era - mostly mahogany and oak. The wall panels are made of mahogany and oak. The materials of the wall panels are made of mahogany as the furniture. From the perspective of color and smoothness, they should have been born in the same year. There are metal cover lamps, comfortable leather footstools, thick bookshelf, velvet carpets, gorgeous brown velvet window curtains and chair covers, dull silverware, and ancient portraits that seem to have a soul. On the sand and carpet are lying or sitting, there are several young and beautiful humans, both men and women. They are not surprised by the sudden appearance of vampires, but they stand up slowly and gracefully, with their movements stretched and coordinated, and full of rhythm. It seems that they have received some training to maximize their advantages and attraction.
"Please feel free," the leader casually stretched out his finger and stroked the air in front of him, "You can choose to eat, bathe, rest, or read, and these children will meet any of your needs - there will be a small informal banquet tonight, and I think my master will be happy to meet new friends who are willing to respect and follow the rules." - Unless necessary, vampires always stay up and go out at night. Visiting a vampire in the morning is like visiting a human who has just fallen asleep late at night. As the "prince" who monitors a whole city, of course, they will not be happy to crawl out of their coffin just to receive a routine Jinshi, but out of Fanzhuo's pride and wealth, they do not mind letting vampires from other groups feel the generosity of the superiors - it can also be said to be a hidden win and show of kindness.
There were already two women among those humans. The child and a boy stood up and walked towards the three non-humans gracefully and lightly. They pulled down the ribbon on their necks, just like pulling off the packaging of gifts. They were skillful in their movements, natural, full of rhythm, and had sweet smiles. There was no fear or retreat in their eyes, only eager to try, desire, and their own dreams. Although their body movements were extremely hard to show their humility and tenderness, it was difficult to control the ** in their hearts and prevent them from showing their passionate vision - they should all be humans who yearn to become vampires. For this, they were willing to place their bodies, lives, and souls on the gambling table of fate, but they did not know that the dealer had already taken back all the chips.
As Alex learned, the known vampires have not created any descendants in nearly a hundred years.
Mekoril put his sharp fingers. His fingers were placed on the boy's neck, and he shook excitedly, and heat radiated from his neck and face - the human body was wrapped in a robe made of Kashmir wool. This fabric was light, thin, warm, between silk and fur, and it was amazing. When calculating, it was not used for pieces or pounds, but for ounces of gold. This was partly because of the excellent quality of this fiber and the rare quantity; the other part was because until now, the layer of hair on the back of the sheep was used to move to your back. They used the old methods of the Middle Ages for vampires to keep the food warm, just as humans would use thermos to store hot soup.
The guide nodded politely and turned around, and there were few vampires. The ghost observed other vampires to eat—especially when they were not very familiar with each other. As for the lady’s companions—they should have their own way of handling, and the vampire walked slowly to the door, resting his hands on the rubbed fairly smooth copper handle.
Alex lowered his eyes and placed his hands into his wide cloak, from where he stood, the floor slab shattered silently.
Luther's hair was all erected, his pupils shrank into a thin line, his muscles were tensed, and his claws poked out from his fingertips. He grabbed the girl in front of him and just blocked the unthinking blow of the leader who had reacted. The leader's fingertips, palms, and arms passed through the fragile body of the human body in turn, tearing her apart, and rushing to the bold enemy from the messy internal organs.
Mekerel happily showed snow-white teeth, and two slightly bent canine teeth pressed against her lower lip. She grabbed the boy's chin with one hand and stabbed the other into the center of his clavicle, easily tearing him apart from the connection between his neck and shoulders. Hot blood burst out from the shattered body, forming a fine blood-colored mist in the air. The human boy's head turned around in the air, his eyes wide open blankly, as if he had not yet understood what had happened.
As if from the terrifying roar outside the clear sky, the entire floor collapsed. The heavy furniture wrapped the soft body of humans. The ugly face turned twisted by fear and the mouth was wide open to unimaginable. But whether it was excessive panic that caused the loss of sound or the overly huge sound, their cry for help and screams became particularly weak - non-humans did not even put a trace of their mind on them, Luther of the Gangro tribe had accurately bit the leader's neck, and Mekerel turned into a tiny vampire bat again, intercepting one or two "guests" who might have been "entered" in the dust of the sky - Alex and others disturbed them angrily lost their proper discrimination ability.
Alex did not pay attention to his temporary companion. Before entering this building, he had already confirmed with two vampires - the three non-humans who had never officially cooperated should do their own things, and unfamiliar care and excessive concerns probably only make things fail unprecedentedly - this is a valuable experience that the semi-lich tutor has a deep love for "grouping to fight monsters" and exchanged for countless blood and tears.
The mage from the interplanetary plane focused on controlling his spells, giving up part of the intensity and exchanged for the scope of involvement, which made this three-story building instantly become a single-story house with a high dome. After a dull shaking, the exquisite marble mosaic painting exuded the unique texture of metal. Alex stretched out his hand without thinking. The riot current overflowed from the tip of his fingers, rapidly expanding from the thickness of the silk to the diameter of the human arm. The blue-white, dazzling light snake jumped on the steel plate, winding and swam towards every place where they could pass. The high temperature they generated when they encountered resistance made the metal floor collapse like paper burned by a soldering iron. Below was an empty basement, the walls and the ground also showed the metal blue unique to the steel plate. This was originally a good protection, but in the Little Mermaid
After adding an electric spell, nearly a hundred wooden coffins below burned, and the vampires inside escaped from the flames that humans could not hear screams, and the strong currents were waiting for their visit. Only a part of the vampires who had advanced from "baby" to "servant" could transform into bats and conflict from the surroundings of fire and electricity. Other "baby" who had not yet mastered the inhuman ability burst into tears in despair under the double rampage of current and flames. With golden flames and blue currents, the charred non-humans jumped everywhere like shrimps thrown into the oil pan. Their bodies that they were proud of before and were more tenacious than humans became the best guarantee to prolong their pain and fear. They even bite everything they touched when they could not bear the approach of final death, including their companions.
The lich in Alex's body did not personally observe vampires or "test" their power when he was in Faren, but the brains of the living and the books and memories of the mentors could allow him to establish a distinct three-dimensional image.
"When the army of vampire lords enters war, the whole world trembles. The undead spirit is the most dangerous creature in the whole world. Under the control of the will of the immortal lords, they become fallen and powerful enemies. You cannot argue with them, cannot bribe them, and even threats are useless. They are fearless and have no mercy. They do not need warmth, nor do they need to drink water or other livelihoods. As they advance, the entire army is filled with the corpses of their former enemies.
Bodies and Prisoners. The only thing they fear is the sunlight that causes damage to them. It burns the filthy animals of the undead creatures and can truly destroy these natural creatures. But this does not help their enemies. Before the army of vampire Count enters the battlefield, these undead lords will use their necromancers to summon the storm clouds that roll and rush to protect their servants from the sun. The zombies appear and darkness comes."——Retrieved from the "Feren Monster Illustrations"
The vampires in this plane obviously lack something than them, not only strength, but also something more important.
Of course, this does not mean that the lich wants to encounter a powerful and tricky enemy.
Alex quietly watched the groups of bats escape from him in chaos. After the first small flying creature who dared to attack him was subjected to a "**anatomy", there was no courageous and dedicated successor. The lich crushed a sapphire when the last bat rushed past him, and the preset spell inside moved instantly.
Immediately afterwards, he stroked the gem on his finger and disappeared in the air under the cover of flames, lightning, and smoke.
The basement is not the deepest floor of this building. There is also a vast space below it. Just like the double-layer underground facilities that often appear in modern buildings, this space is strictly protected by granite and steel plates. The road leading to it is like other parts of the building is full of traps and alarms. Unfortunately, most of these seemingly strict devices are "scientific" products of human beings. A little current and high temperature can make them self-destruct or insanity. A few simple and straightforward magic traps can almost be ignored. The most important thing is that the lich is not prepared to take the path that ordinary people take.
