Chapter 826 Duke Orlando

As the saying goes, a man who knows the times is a hero, and a good bird chooses a tree to live in.

It is hard to say whether a vampire is a hero, but he is really a man who knows the times. He says whatever he is asked, without reservation.

It is said that there are about fifty vampires in this castle, of which forty are low-level, ten are mid-level, and one is high-level (Duke of Orlando).

But now only half of the people are left in the castle, and the other half are out hunting.

Due to the mandatory requirements of Duke of Orlando, the vampires living here can only use wild beasts in the mountains to satisfy their thirst for blood most of the time. Among vampires, they are middle-lower poor peasants, eating bran and drinking water every day.

But it is precisely because they rarely attack people that this place has not been truly besieged.

Generally, only when Duke of Orlando is about to wake up from his deep sleep, the vampires will take turns to hunt mortals, saying that they want to prepare the best blood for Duke of Orlando to rinse his mouth, but in fact, they can only eat meat at this time.

Most of the time, these vampires can only shrink in the castle and stay indoors. They are responsible for maintaining everything in the castle.

The important reason why vampires are classified as undead creatures by scholars is that, like undead creatures, the areas where vampires live will accumulate a lot of negative energy, and these negative energies will quickly erode all organic matter. The manifestation is that the house decays very quickly.

So over a long period of time, these vampires have all transformed into high-quality craftsmen, and from time to time they go to the forest to cut down trees to build castles.

——It sounds pretty miserable.

If the Duke of Orlando was just a commander without troops, this castle would have collapsed long ago, and the exquisite decorations would definitely not exist at all.

But when it comes to decorations, Li Chengxi pointed to the portrait of the white-haired little loli on the wall and said:

"Who is this person? The daughter of the Duke of Orlando?"

In the entire castle, except for the portrait of the middle-aged man, there are more portraits of the white-haired little loli. Since there is only one high-level vampire, it is very curious who this person is.

The female vampire bowed her head and said:

"That is the True Ancestor of our clan. Although the master has gotten rid of the bloodline of the True Ancestor, he has always held a high respect for the True Ancestor."

"..."

No, the True Ancestor is like this?

All True Ancestors are at least level 70, which is equivalent to strategic nuclear weapons with the ability to destroy a country. But this is just a little girl who looks only ten years old?

This is why Li Chengxi doesn't understand the setting.

The True Ancestor is a special human being, and once the power of the True Ancestor is awakened, it will stop growing immediately. In other words, don't look at the appearance, because the appearance is the most deceptive.

If nothing else, just look at the state of the group of gods who occasionally come to Li Chengxi's house, and you will understand that the style of painting is a lot of it is blown out...

Let's not talk about this for now. When I went up to the third floor, I could clearly see that the situation was different from before.

There was a layer of clearly visible black smoke floating on the floor, just like the dry ice commonly used in stage effects, but it was lighter, covering everything in the field of vision with a gray-black filter.

Powerful undead creatures will accumulate the same huge amount of negative energy around them. Experienced adventurers can roughly judge how powerful the owner of this place is by just looking at the concentration of negative energy.

Most of the time, negative energy only makes people feel a little cold. Such a clear accumulation of negative energy shows that this duke is at least level 50 or above.

The layout of the third floor is also much more exquisite than the downstairs. There are places that seem to be very high-end, such as the library and music room. Only the 10 mid-level vampires can enter the entire third floor. All of this is maintained by them.

"My lord, it's just in front. The master's bedroom is just in front."

The vampire who led Li Chengxi was really aware of the current situation. Li Chengxi was originally wondering whether he would be led into a trap. He didn't expect the other party to be so servile. It seems that his loyalty to the Duke of Orlando is limited to slogans.

It's normal. Who would like to be a servant forever?

At the end of the straight corridor, you can see a double door. It may be to prevent the erosion of negative energy. It is actually made of metal.

The female vampire bowed her head and said:

"The master's coffin is inside. Unless the day comes when the master wakes up, we are not allowed to enter the room. The moment we step in, the master will be furious."

This means that you can fight with Duke Orlando if you want, but I won't go in.

It is true that the vampire wants to get rid of the slavery of his superiors, and he is also very cunning and doesn't want to get involved.

But is this something you don't want to do just because you say you don't want to?

The vampire was about to tentatively say goodbye, and saw Li Chengxi pointing at it, which made the vampire's heart skip a beat.

The extended finger was slightly bent at this time, and the vampire was lifted up by an invisible force on the spot, looking like he was lifted up by a pair of hands.

"My Lord!"

The vampire panicked, especially when he saw Li Chengxi's hand pointing at it circled half a circle and pointed at the door at the end of the corridor.

The vampire who was lifted up screamed and flew towards the door like a javelin. With a loud bang, it broke the door and turned into a pool on the spot like a dragonfly stuck on the windshield of a car.

If nothing else, at least it looked like there was really no trap.

Li Chengxi raised his foot over the knocked down door and found that there was a huge bedroom of nearly 100 square meters inside, but the furniture such as the bed and wardrobe had long been rotten. This was because the sterilization effect brought by the negative energy kept these furniture in their original shape, otherwise they would have rotted away long ago.

The only intact thing was a coffin placed next to the bed, facing the door, because it was made of stone and looked very heavy.

As Li Chengxi watched, he heard a light "thump" sound, and candles in various places in the room ignited spontaneously, lighting up the strange blue-green candlelight.

The stone coffin made a friction sound, accompanied by a bang, and the coffin board was broken from the inside. A dark figure floated out from it, gliding like a ghost, and landed on the carpet not far opposite Li Chengxi.

Just this shape, it looks very much like a horror movie.

"Who disturbed my sleep?"

It sounded like a middle-aged man's voice, but it was a little hoarse.

Li Chengxi was too lazy to pay attention to him, and waved his hand. The light ball surrounding him moved forward, illuminating the pale face of the figure.

It was the middle-aged man seen in the portraits along the way. This should be the Duke of Orlando.

The strong light made Duke Orlando narrow his eyes slightly, and the red light in his pupils was like burning charcoal, but he suppressed it.

Compared with the younger brothers downstairs, Duke Orlando frowned when he saw Li Chengxi. Although he was just standing there, his muscles were tense and he was very alert.

His perception ability was much stronger than that of the younger brothers, so he should have noticed that something was wrong with Li Chengxi, but it was still not strong enough.

Otherwise, it should have knelt down immediately instead of standing.
