Chapter 172 Things are different and people are different
For Duanmuhuai and others, this road was quite lively.
From a certain perspective, Bambi is very similar to Ann, innocent, lively and carefree. Moreover, like An, she was also very interested in Gu Leiya - especially the big fat tail.
By the way, although Bambi’s character is indeed lively and cheerful, she is not completely ignorant of fighting. In fact, Bambi also takes action when encountering enemies along the way. However, according to Duanmuhuai''s observation, Bambi usually attacks through magic power and controlling bats.
?Hmm, the latter is somewhat of a vampire.
From Bambi, Duanmuhuai also gained a certain knowledge and understanding of the vampires of her time.
?According to Bambi, the vampires at that time lived in a country called "Medbegia". This country was far away from the mainland, located on an isolated island, and basically had no contact with the outside world. The people living inside are all vampires like Bambi. Their characteristic is that they are not afraid of the sun, can eat like ordinary people, and they all have a pair of bat-like wings on their heads.
To be honest, Duanmu Huai really doesn’t understand why the wings of this vampire race grow on the head. Generally speaking, shouldn’t the wings of vampires grow on the back of the body? At least it can be said to be used for flying, but what the **** is it growing on the head?
Not to mention that these "wings" are basically useless, the size is slightly larger than the ears, and they look more like some kind of headgear.
Although vampires at that time could also give blood to others and transform it into vampire abilities, it was completely different from the infectious disease-like abilities now. According to Bambi, after vampires give blood to mortals, they can transform the latter into vampires, but not completely vampires. For example, mortals will share the vampire''s ability and life, which means that both parties are of the same mind.
??Furthermore, a vampire can only transform one dependent. Unless this dependent dies, it cannot transform other dependents.
Not only that, because both parties share life, the death of the dependent will also cause great harm to the vampire.
?The relationship between vampires and humans at that time was not good, but it was different from treating humans as food now. At that time, in order to desire immortality, humans would even deliberately deceive vampires'' feelings and let them transform themselves into dependents. Because of this, vampires hate humans so much that vampire countries basically do not allow citizens to go out at will.
??If we just judge from Bambi’s description, then the vampires at that time did no harm to humans, but it was more likely that humans would harm vampires.
?But...what happened, and why did the vampire become like this?
Bambi knew nothing about this. She only knew that she was invited by the queen to attend the banquet. After being tired from playing, she fell asleep. When she woke up again... it was when Duanmu Huai and the others opened the stone pillar.
As for the ancient scroll that Bambi was carrying, she had no memory at all. At least judging from the information Bambi revealed, it was the queen who should have given the ancient scroll to Bambi and then locked her in a stone pillar. It can be seen from this that something big must have happened at that time, otherwise it would not have reached this point.
Having said that, Her Royal Highness the Princess slept too seriously, and she slept for five hundred years...
And the answer to all this is right in front of you.
“Look, there is Brembania Castle!”
?Pointing to a huge castle on an island not far away, Bambi said proudly. It has to be said that this castle is indeed very huge, as high as more than ten stories. The bell towers at the four corners have Gothic-style triangular domes. Coupled with the current cloudy weather, howling lightning and heavy rain...
?Hmm, this looks like the territory of vampires.
“But it looks so desolate here.”
Coming to the shore and looking at the castle in front of him, Bambi showed a doubtful expression.
“Any questions?”
? Duanmuhuai walked to the shore and looked around. He saw that the surroundings were desolate. There was nothing on the ground except stones. Even the trees were dead and twisted into a strange shape.
??How do you think it fits the look of a vampire castle?
“Huh? There used to be a big garden here, and it was very beautiful. Bambi used to like to lie down in the grass and sleep in the sun.”
?But Bambi obviously didn’t think so. She stretched out her hand, made a gesture, and explained at the same time.
?Hearing Bambi’s explanation, the vigilante beside Duanmu Huai was speechless.
“Why does a vampire’s castle have a garden...”
“In short, we will find out when we go in.”
? Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer and looked at the castle in front of him. Although according to Bambi, this castle shouldn''t be that dangerous. But the memories in Bambi’s mind were from five hundred years ago. At that time, there were no vampires like today that regard humans as food, so...
“Bambi, Gulea, hide behind me and pay attention to your surroundings.”
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai strode forward, and Gu Leiya and Bambi followed closely behind. The vigilante also drew his weapon and got ready at the rear.
?Walking through the desolate land and arriving at the stone bridge connecting the main entrance of the castle, a bloody, cold, and death breath rushed towards me. Even Bambi seemed to sense some kind of threat, hiding behind Duanmuhuai and grabbing his cloak.
"Family, family, be careful, it may be dangerous."
"I know."
Duanmu Huai is not a fool. The castle in front of him clearly looks like a "final BOSS battleground". He is not blind either. If there is nothing fishy about it, you won''t even believe it!
However, just when a group of people crossed the stone bridge and came to the gate, they saw the originally closed steel gate rising upwards with a "clatter", and then the heavy stone gate roared and slowly opened, revealing The dark corridor inside.
…………”
Seeing this scene, everyone was silent, while Duanmu Huai touched his chin and turned to look at everyone.
“You think, if we turn around and go back now, wouldn’t it be too disrespectful to the other party?”
"Ah ha ha ha..." Facing Duanmu Huai''s words, Gu Leiya didn''t know what to say, so she could only smile bitterly, while the vigilante''s face turned livid, and he clenched his weapon tightly, unable to stop from him. Judging from the sweat on his forehead, he was obviously not in the mood to joke with Duanmu Huai now.
“Then let’s go.”
Seeing that no one agreed with him, Duanmu Huai shrugged helplessly. To be honest, he really wanted to do this. After all, players have to move forward in the game, but what about in reality?
??If the door is open on the opposite side, but I and others are having a barbecue and camping outside, will the BOSS be angry to death?
“By the way, should we make a fire here to grill fish?”
“Mr. Knight!”
“Okay, okay, I get it...”
Seeing Gu Leiya clenching her fists to protest to herself, Duanmu Huai shook her head helplessly. If only An was here, she would not only raise her hands in approval, but even take the initiative to get angry... But Gu Leiya His personality is more serious, so there is nothing he can do about it.
In this way, a group of people entered the castle, and as expected, after they entered the castle, the heavy door closed heavily, swallowing everyone in darkness.
Subsequently, the firelight shone brightly, illuminating the originally dark space.
Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked around, only to see that they were in the hall at the entrance of the castle. When he raised his head, he saw dozens of people wearing fine clothes standing on the terraces on both sides, looking like they were attending a banquet. Men and women, each wearing a mask of different shapes, stood behind the railings and stared at the people below.
In front of them, stood a man in a black dress, dressed like a butler.
…“Who are these people?”
While holding Duanmu Huai''s cloak tightly, Bambi looked at them with confusion and murmured in a low voice, "It''s no wonder. For Bambi, this is basically equivalent to finding that he doesn''t know anyone at home after returning home." Like strangers, it is normal to feel uneasy and confused.
“Come in, everyone, the master is already waiting for you.”
??The housekeeper in front bowed respectfully to everyone, and then walked forward, while Duanmu Huai and others followed him to the front door. Then, the housekeeper opened the door.
Seeing the scene inside, everyone''s expressions suddenly changed.
What I saw behind the door was a magnificent restaurant, with three long dining tables placed two vertically and one horizontally in the middle. Behind the table, there were also nobles in gorgeous clothes sitting. If that was the case, Then this is just a simple party.
The problem is the food on the table.
?That’s human.
Human bodies were placed on the table, with blood vessels cut open, hands and feet cut off and placed in basins. There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Just seeing this scene made Gu Leiya turn pale. The vigilant also gritted his teeth and firmly grasped the weapon in his hand. Although this was not the first time they had dealt with vampires, it was the first time they had seen vampires treat humans as meals.
"What''s this………"
Even Bambi looked at the scene in front of him with a dazed look on his face, not knowing how to react.
At this moment, a voice sounded.
“Welcome back, Your Highness the Princess of the Dark Night!”
Hearing this voice, everyone raised their heads and saw a middle-aged man standing up in a black dress and cloak, dressed like a standard vampire.
"This is the dinner I prepared for your return, how about it? Your Highness, are you satisfied?"
“No, stop talking nonsense!”
Hearing this, Bambi jumped up angrily and roared loudly.
"What a disgusting thing is this! Who are you? Why are you in this castle? Where is the Queen? How dare you do such an outrageous thing here!"
“Ah…Your Highness the Princess…”
Hearing Bambi’s scolding, the middle-aged man showed an expression that seemed intoxicated. Although Bambi''s voice is indeed very sweet and quite pleasant, even listening to her scolding sounds is very pleasant, but is it too perverted to show such an expression?
"I''m really sorry. As you can see, Her Majesty the Queen has disappeared, but don''t worry, as long as we are here, the vampire kingdom will revive again! And vampires will also rule the world!"
“You, what are you talking about? Who are you?”
Looking at the middle-aged man’s enthusiastic and obsessed expression, Bambi grabbed Duanmuhuai’s cloak uneasily and stared at him.
“Bambi doesn’t know you, nor you! Who are you? Where is Her Majesty? Where are the others in Brembania Castle?!”
“They are all here, Your Highness the Princess.”
As he spoke, the man showed a proud smile, then he stretched out his hand and gently pressed his abdomen.
“They are all here, Your Highness, Princess. It’s a pity that you will never see them again...”
