The first floor is free to enter and exit. The stairs on the second floor are also easy to find, just next to the small square. It should be noted that, like most castles, the stairs on the upstairs are not continuous. In other words, the stairs on the upstairs were found until the second floor - the stairs on the second floor to the third floor are in another place.

The situation on the second floor is much more complicated, because the vampire's personal bodyguards live on this floor. Just like the legendary one, after receiving the power of vampires, these girls gained a lot of power, one of which was that they greatly reduced their sleep time. They only need to sleep for one or two hours a day, rather than a whole night like a normal person.

So it is easy to imagine that even if there is no warning on the second floor, there are many people who are not sleeping. There are many people who are awake, and can be seen shaking in the aisle or in empty places from time to time.

When Ash Rufate was on the first floor, he felt that he had the talent of a thief - this was his first attempt to play a thief, but the effect seemed to be very good. But when he reached the second floor, he began to understand that he lacked some talent.

Hiding in the shadows and avoiding the gazes - in theory, it seems not difficult, but in fact, to do this, it requires more than technology, but also courage and confidence. If the former - that is, courage - is not a problem, then the latter is what Asu Ruffat lacks.

On the edge of a residential area, he finally encountered a situation that thieves would inevitably encounter - someone was walking over in front of him, and there was only a small corner to hide.

He hid in the corner, tried hard to stand up straight, hiding himself with all his might in that small corner that could not be smaller, hoping to avoid the sight of people. This feeling of panic has really been gone for a long time... Even in the chaos realm, he was not so nervous about fighting wits and courage with those evil gods.

The figure was passing by Ash Rufate. Fortunately, the other party was completely unaware of it, and when he passed by, he happened to look at the other side, so the final result of this contact was everyone happy. The girl found nothing, and after Ash Rufate walked away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He began to be less confident in his thief talent. He could barely do it if he walked quietly and silently, but he could not do it at all if he had the keen observation ability of the legendary thief, the ability to find a place to hide and retreat at any time, and finally he had absolute confidence in himself.

But now he is absolutely unwilling to withdraw like this.

In front is a residential area, with rooms on both sides of the aisle. Ashurufat now knows that the living conditions of girls in the castle are pretty good - they can usually enjoy a room with two people or alone, and have their own personal belongings. In addition, writing letters and contacting the outside world is also allowed (but he is not sure that this is the power that each girl enjoys or is only part of the people). If he is not wrong, the end of the residential area is a three-story staircase.

This area should be those girls who have accepted the power of vampires... that is, the living areas of those female guards. They are placed in front of the stairs, which is reasonable.

For the time being, the entire aisle was very quiet. With his superhuman hearing, Ashu Rufate could hear the sound of people moving in some rooms, and there was no hidden place on this aisle. As long as someone walked out of the room, she would definitely see Ashu Rufate. Well, with his body shape and dress, fools could see that this was an uninvited guest.

Well, with just a shout, everything will become out of control!

However, he felt that he should be able to pass. He could only pass from here.

This road is very short - that is, a distance of about two hundred steps. But it must be said that the psychological pressure that Ashu Rufate felt was better than that of himself fighting against the Blood Tooth Lord under the Blood Fortress. Because on the battlefield, things are controllable, Ashu Rufate has enough experience and preparation to fight against a strong enemy, but here, everything is uncontrollable. You can only entrust everything to fate or the gods.

In the dungeon, the little girl and Lalia looked at the stairs with eyes wide open.

The so-called "living day is like a year" refers to this feeling. In this environment, there is no timekeeping tool, so it is difficult to determine how long time has passed based on human subjective abilities.

At the entrance to the steps in the distance, there is still silence.

"Can Ash Rufate... succeed?" the little girl suddenly asked. Objectively speaking, she was the one with greater confidence among the two. But even she raised this question.

"It should be possible..." Lalia replied softly. "But why... can he sneak into the castle?"

Lalia still couldn't understand this. As the vampire's guard (although she defected), she had witnessed all the magical aspects of this castle with her own eyes. So the sneaking in was a concept of "lucky" for the little girl, and a concept of "miracle" for her. Indeed, Asul Rufate said that the vampire was not at home tonight, so she just missed the attention for a while.

But Lalia knew very well that vampires could not be at home, but the will of the castle... Carrie could not be away. Even if she ignored the outside of the castle, she would at least not be able to tell the fact that there was an uninvited guest in the castle. Why didn't Carrie give a warning? You know, she could not secretly notify the guards, and Ashu Rufate had no chance!

Then suddenly, she thought of the worst possible.

That is, the vampire is not going out now, he is in the castle! And, if Lalia is not wrong, the vampire is observing the invader's every move.

Only in this way can we explain why Ashu Rufate was able to sneak in and arrive at the castle smoothly. Only in this way can we explain why there is no warning in the castle.

Because everything is under the control of the Blood Duke. This is a game of cat catching rats - on the surface, the mouse seems to be able to escape, but in fact, there is no chance at all.

"Your Highness..." Lalia barely controlled her expression. "If the Count fails..."

"He won't fail!" The little girl rejected this possibility. She still remembered the miracles that happened to her. After many years, she can now truly understand how great miracles happened in Eagle Falcon City at that time, and that she, who had originally had to lose, achieved the final victory.

...

A slight "click" sound of door opening came from behind.

Ashu Rufate felt his heart twitching! Although he had superhuman senses and agile skills, at this moment, even he could not change the facts.

He could not expect that the person who walked out of the room would not see him—there was an area of ​​wonderful light, and he could not even sneak into the darkness (although that was meaningless).

"Who!" The next moment, a woman's voice sounded from behind.

After this soft cry, more door openings sounded. At least five—perhaps more—guards walked out of the door. Although it was time to rest, most of them were alert and fully armed. In fact, except for a few times, they would not take off their armor.

At least ten eyes were fixed on this uninvited guest who was dressed up and said, "I am a thief". Every guard was unconsciously prepared for the battle.

"Who?!" This time, it was not a surprise, but a question.

The man in the night clothes turned his head. He stroked his forehead with one hand, but all the guards immediately recognized who the man was - the Duke of Blood, the castle and their masters.

Although they had never seen the Blood Duke dress like this, as slaves, they could not question the master's actions. All the hostility disappeared instantly, and the girls bowed respectfully and sent the Blood Duke away. The latter just turned his head and immediately continued to walk up the third level of the ladder. After his figure disappeared, they continued to do their own things.

Sure enough... I am very similar to the vampire... Ash Rufate repeated to himself softly. This was one of the things he least wanted to encounter, and in fact, it was only a little better than being besieged (or killed) in the Dark Castle.

Discovering a thief who sneaks into a castle is a completely different concept than discovering a person who looks exactly like himself sneaking into a castle. Although the former can make people angry, the latter can make people feel fatal crisis.

Ashu Rufate knew that he would only need the Blood Duke to come back, and sooner or later he would find out about this. Such a thing about "I am obviously not at home, but I have another me at home" cannot be concealed. If Ashu Rufate fails to leave Sivania by then, he may have to face big trouble.

Must speed up...

After walking onto the third floor, you can find that the third floor covers a very small area. Of course, this "small" is comparable to the first and second floors. In terms of area, it is definitely not inferior to a palace - much larger than the small castle owned by Ashrufate.

There was an indescribable fragrance in the air, a sweet but refreshing fragrance... Speaking of which, Ash Rufate has not been exposed to spices, but this is the first time I smelled this fragrance.

This is not one room or two, but... the entire third floor is filled with this fragrance.

After the stairs come up, it should be a reception room. This should be a place where vampires meet certain "special guests". The ground is covered with thick carpets and various porcelain, weapons, tapestries and other artworks are decorated everywhere. Although Ash Rufate is not an unknown person, he has to agree with the view that "vampires live a luxurious life of extravagance". In such a huge environment that is piled up with wealth and beauty, it is difficult for you to stop and spend more time observing the surroundings.

It can be said that this is far more than a reception room, but an exhibition hall and art gallery. Not only is it amazingly large in area, but its collections can make the king dazzling.

Next to the reception room is the study room. Well, it is not just a study room—but a study room and a library. The rows of bookshelf are piled with countless wealth of knowledge. However, Ashu Rufate had no time to observe the taste of the vampire, so he could only take a look at the area where his master lived every day. There was a very conspicuous large table, and the table was Sivania... No, the entire Ryan's big sand table, every mountain, water, every village and a town. It can be seen that the ambition of vampire is far more than Sivania. However, the unexpectedly neat tools in the study room... Well, it may be that vampires do not come here often.

Next to the study, it should be the bedroom. The key that Ashu Rufate wants is there!

If you are not mistaken, although the vampire is not there, his wives should be present. Ashu Rufate had never seen the acting hostess of this dark castle, but it is said that the woman the vampire loved the most was a girl with special power and extremely beautiful. But that's all. When Ashu Rufate started this adventure, he really didn't know that he would have the chance to meet the vampire's wife.

He paused for a moment, but couldn't hear any sound in the bedroom. Then he suddenly realized that the fragrance in the air made people feel lazy, but it could arouse a certain desire in the heart of human beings. Well, it turns out that it is not just ordinary incense?

Speaking of it... it seems that the legend of the Blood Duke is also extremely indulgent. Although he collected so many beautiful girls mainly to satisfy his appetite, no one has ever believed that he was just to satisfy his appetite. Vampires were transformed by humans after all, and they were no different from humans in aesthetics. Besides, everyone knows that the Blood Duke’s wives and concubines are all humans…

In front of me is the vampire's bedroom, the door is covered with a faint door.

Ashu Rufat walked over gently, but it was actually unnecessary. The carpet on the ground was so thick that it was impossible for you to make any sound.

The key to the vampire... should be at the head of the bed, or...

While he was thinking this, a figure suddenly rushed over. Perhaps because of his thinking, he was slow to react. Before Ash Rufate realized, a petite figure had already rushed into his arms. He subconsciously hugged the other person, and his beautiful long light golden hair slid off the back of his hand. The girl raised her head - she was extremely beautiful.

"Master Duke..." He heard the voice of the girl in his arms. "Master Duke!" Her rubbed against him, and then Ashu Rufate realized that the other party was naked.

All the unnecessary thoughts instantly dissipated, only the sweet incense in the air and the pretty and lovely body of the girl in her arms.
Chapter completed!
