Alive.
Sucia really "lived" over.
Just like the old legend, people who have been loyal and kind throughout their lives prepare the last gift for their masters at the end of their lives.The nobles in the castle heard the news, and after accepting his gift, they took his subjects back to the castle and lived happily ever after.
This is a story that no one believes, but when it really happened in front of your eyes, no one can doubt it.
[Barrage: Ahhhh! 】
[Barrage: Who else dares not believe this legend?Who else? 】
[Barrage: Then the rumor will be self-defeating, right?In the face of such a miracle, the blood moon is a ball of yarn! 】
[Barrage: Woohoo, it's good to be alive.Earl is very kind!I'm about to fall in love with the Earl. 】
【Barrage:? ? ? 】
In the picture, the tall and handsome man slowly took a step back and glanced at Karl who was still kneeling on the ground.
Sucia was lying in Carl's arms and twitching, but his expression was not in pain, but as if he was adapting to his new body and new "life".
Carl opened his eyes wide, and while still showing an expression of disbelief, he couldn't help following Sucia's movements so that the little boy could stand on the ground smoothly.
She held Sucia's pale face and stroked it like holding a precious treasure. She couldn't move her eyes away, and she couldn't even stop her tears.She quickly straightened Sucia's messy clothes, her whole body trembling.After a while, she couldn't kneel any longer, and with a whimpering sound, she rushed towards Sucia, causing Sucia to stagger in her arms.
"Mom...Mom." Sucia said in a daze, like a newborn child, familiar with the term again.
His blood-colored eyes looked around in bewilderment, meeting Joshua's gaze.
Joshua had been staring blankly at all this with his mouth open, when he suddenly woke up.
He jumped up from the ground, stretched out his long arms, and praised loudly in a very full voice: "I knew all these legends were true, please allow me to offer you my most loyal hymn!"
The earl, who was looking at Carl, was suddenly shouted and praised. He raised his jaw, frowned and took a step back.
[Barrage: Hahahaha, you better stop talking. 】
[Barrage: Earl hates them so much! 】
[Danmaku: Really, if you look carefully, you can see that he has retreated several times...]
No matter how the count backed away, Karl’s voice turned from grief to joy and Joshua’s loud praise had already been heard by the young man at the church door. He couldn’t help poking his head out, and when he saw Sucia woke up, he also yelled and went crazy Run back and tell the people in the church the news.
Everyone couldn't believe it was real at once, but they were no longer afraid of the still burning but harmless flame, and they ran out one after another.
When they saw Sucia standing beside Grandma Karl in good health and his blood-colored amber eyes, they all stood there in shock.The candlelight in the church behind stretched their shadows forward, like people prostrate in front of the count.
I don't know which townsman made this action first, and after a while, they all saluted the count solemnly.Even the players Lin Yin, A Xiao and Gou Zhu were completely driven by the townspeople's emotions and mixed in the crowd to do the same thing.
The leader, Aji, also trembled and bent over, not daring to speak.
[Bullet screen: Oh my god, if it wasn't for the mission, I thought I had already cleared the level after watching this scene. 】
[Barrage: Really don't hit the south wall and don't look back!But no wonder they. 】
【Barrage: But I don't think the earl really wants to pay attention to them...】
【Danmaku: Yes, to be honest, even this gift was accepted for the sake of my little brother. 】
In the picture, the proud and reserved earl seemed to really dislike this scene. He put on the leather gloves again, turned sideways and said something to the butler.
In the process, his eyes accidentally met Shang Yu Yue's shocked eyes, which were sparkling with surprise, and his words got stuck involuntarily.
count:"……"
The Earl pursed his lips slightly.
In fact, it shouldn't be.He obviously doesn't like these bluffing kids.Why did you accept such a trivial gift?
But it was really inexplicable, when the bright red fruit appeared in front of him, he had the feeling that he wanted to get it no matter what.
Could it be because of this boy again?
Just like now, just looking at his shining eyes seemed to remind him of that starry night again.
And to see him happy and happy, as if he was also happy.
There was a long-lasting feeling that seemed to be lingering in the air, soaking his brown-blond hair, letting that strand of hair fall on his forehead, and softening his expression.It was as if something came alive in his life and flowed slowly around him again, bringing a warm current like recovery.
Compared with the previous emotions that were completely unverifiable, the emotions this time seemed to arise naturally from the bottom of his heart, just like streams left from high places and seeds germinated from the soil.
The count pursed his lips slightly, and was about to speak again, when he suddenly saw a shadow jump up from Yu Yue's side.
It's Sucia.
Sucia, who was young and naive, finally got used to this body completely. He still had the memory of his life, and his face was full of surprises.He didn't expect that everything was true, and when his life was about to disappear, he was really chosen by the earl.
This ecstasy made him brave, and he ran towards the count desperately, waving his limbs.
Everyone was taken aback by him, and the butler was also greatly surprised by his rude action. He stepped in front of the count, and suddenly reached out his hand to stop him: "What are you doing!"
Suzia, who was free from illness and full of vigor, stretched out her hands and feet towards the earl, and her whole body was stuck on the butler's arm, screaming, "My lord earl!"
"Lord Earl" came back to his senses suddenly, and was obviously taken aback, but his good self-cultivation allowed him to forgive the child's unreasonableness, but he quickly put away his stunned expression, and quickly took a step back.
This time, he rolled up his large and luxurious cloak, took one last deep look at Yu Yue, and disappeared into a mist on the spot.
With his departure, the raging fire that had been burning in the church suddenly went out at this moment, leaving no trace.
Outside the church, Sucia rushed to nothing and immediately burst into tears.
Townsman: "..."
[Barrage: Hahahahaha, the earl was full of disgust for the baby he picked up, and left quickly. 】
[Barrage: Now I can be sure that this gift is absolutely inexplicable.Woooooo, does he only accept gifts from his little brother?And only talk to the little brother? 】
【Barrage:?It's so strange for you to say that! 】
[Barrage: Don't over-interpret it, he should only talk to the butler level. 】
In the picture, Sucia was still struggling, so the butler pressed him to the ground and said sharply: "Stand still, after entering the castle, you must abide by the etiquette requirements in the castle. Come, say goodbye to your relatives and friends now Bar."
When Sucia heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Karl, and then at Yu Yue.
The glance he had just had with the earl brought Yu Yue back to his senses.Yu Yue blinked at him: "It's okay, we will bring Aunt Karl to the castle soon."
Carl on the side heard Yu Yue say this, kept wiping away his tears, and it took him a while to form a sentence: "No...it doesn't matter, no matter how long or short it is, as long as you are still here, grandma will definitely come to you."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a loud sniff.
It turned out that some townspeople were moved and cried!
The fact is so strange, when people find that their long-cherished thoughts have become reality, the barrier between life and death is instantly broken, and all anxious and worrying emotions are emptied from everyone's minds.Their good natures returned to their bodies, and they were all happy for Carl.
As the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, a blue sky gradually appeared.
Under the sky, in front of the church.The butler grabbed Sucia's hand, turned his head to stare at Yu Yue and said, "You are really bold, and sometimes people can't figure out what you do. But as a butler, courage is indeed a necessary quality. Hmph, you still Don't let the momentary joy get in your way if you don't quite pass the test, and remember to bring them back before the night comes."
After finishing speaking, the butler gently tugged Sucia and left with a group of vampires.They were gone so fast it was like a bolt of lightning passing through a dark cloud.When everyone looked up, they could only see the empty streets and the breeze blowing across their cheeks.
【Barrage:! ! !The butler's words before he left, is this a compliment? 】
[Barrage: Right?I feel that the favorability between my cub and this nc is also very high! 】
[Bullet screen: wait to clear the level. 】
[Barrage: Not yet, these ordinary townspeople are indeed easily persuaded when they see miracles.But whether the task can be completed depends on a few key NPCs. 】
[Barrage: Never mind, let's talk about it. 】
In the picture, Yu Yue was also stunned for a while before realizing that it was a compliment.Even, perhaps with some hints.
He was a little embarrassed immediately, and turned his head to look for a partner in the crowd.
But Lin Yin and the others had already stood up and waved to him. Before he could go over to meet them, he was surrounded by the townspeople who rushed forward.
They were very excited. Although they surrounded him, they didn't know what to say.Everyone had different expressions on their faces, ranging from apprehension and excitement to fear and panic.
The fat store manager who had said bad things about the earl was also among them, and his face was full of panic at this time.
"Just now, was that really the Earl?"
"He really brought Sucia back to life, and took Sucia away? Will they live in the castle forever?"
"Well, little brother, are you really the butler from the castle? Is the count really going to hold a banquet? Can we attend?"
"So, the monsters at night are really not vampires, but what are those monsters?"
"Will the Earl also suck blood? The Earl won't suck our blood at the banquet, will he?"
A series of questions instantly overwhelmed Yu Yue.
He was still able to answer the first few questions, but he didn't know what would happen at the count's banquet, let alone make any guarantees.
Yu Yue raised his head, looked at his partners for help, and saw Lin Yin standing on the edge of the crowd and mouthing him to say, "Talk about the mission."
He nodded, trying to sort out his thoughts, and told everyone what happened and what was needed, and everyone responded immediately.
"Blood moon? Werewolf? So there is someone else who has been killing us?"
"Food, the food is simple, there is food everywhere, what do you like, tell us later, and we will deliver it to your door."
"But if you want to talk about the history of the castle, it's not easy. The only people who know about it here are Grandma Karl's grandparents, and few people know about it now. It has always been said that things at night are scary, but no one knows. what are they?"
"Nevertheless, we can tell you what we know in advance!"
The townspeople talked a lot, on the one hand, they were excited, and on the other hand, they wanted to make up for their previous disrespect.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout from behind, and they all quieted down again, making way for both sides.
It was the two brothers Aji and Axiang who came over.To be precise, it was Axiang who walked over holding Aji's neck and stood in front of several people.It seemed that the two brothers had another quarrel, and Aji blushed at this moment: "Let me go first."
Ah Xiang glared at him, looked at Yu Yue and said, "We're sorry for what happened before, but you have to understand that we didn't go after the nobles in the castle."
His tone was tougher than Aji's, but his words made sense.
For the townspeople, what they want to fight against is indeed an unidentified monster in the dark. It's just that some people spread rumors and confuse monsters with legends, which made many townspeople maliciously speculate about the nobles in the castle.
Yu Yue nodded, not knowing what A Xiang would say next, so he waited for him to say more.
But Ah Xiang said again: "We did something wrong, the two brothers are responsible for it, and it has nothing to do with other people in the town. Please explain this to the Earl."
As soon as he said this, the fat store manager who had been blushing finally couldn't help it, and said, "It's all my fault, it's because I said outrageous things in front of the little butler that I angered the Earl."
"Oh," said one woman, "I told my daughter not to believe those good stories. I'm sorry. I also chased Joshua away."
"Hey, you put it that way, we all drove Joshua away!"
Joshua, who was inexplicably named by many people, was not guilty at all this time. Instead, he raised his chin and counterattacked: "Shut up! I'm going to enter the castle soon!"
The townspeople laughed, and someone apologized to him.
It's just that the relaxed atmosphere didn't last long, and the surroundings became quiet again.Because all the townspeople saw that Aji's face was still solemn.
Aji didn't say a word, just silently watching Joshua and Carl standing next to Yu Yue.
Joshua seldom raised his eyebrows. Although his clothes were tattered, his face was full of spirits, but perhaps because of his status as an imperial musician, he did not sneer at Aji, but put away the smile on his face, pursed his lips and looked back at him .
Aji seemed to want to say something, but Axiang stretched out his hand beside him and stopped him.
"Then this unpleasant matter, let it pass. Our gathering was originally held for the earl, please don't stop, just to celebrate the upcoming banquet. Everyone is busy in their own way, and it can be regarded as doing their best for the earl Do your best, don't disturb the steward brothers here." Before Aji spoke, Axiang said.
The townspeople cheered in a small area and left in a cooperative manner, but many people still looked back at Yu Yue eagerly, as if they really wanted to make friends with him.
The scene was both lively and quiet, the streets and alleys were full of laughter again, but only two brothers, Aji and Axiang, Joshua, Carl, and Yu Yue were left at the door of the church.
Lin Yin and the others came forward and stood with Yu Yue, feeling that Ah Xiang had something else to say.
Sure enough, Ah Xiang invited a few people into the undamaged church after seeing the townspeople leave. After pondering for a while, he said to Yu Yue: "We all trust you very much. Everyone has seen it too. It was you who calmed down the earl." I even witnessed the legend. But I have to ask one more question for the people of the town, the nobles in the castle, do they really not feed on blood? Could it be that the bloody moon in the orchard, those who suck human blood The wolves really have nothing to do with them?"
As expected of being one of the leaders in the town, Ah Xiang speaks in a very orderly manner, and leaves room for it.
Not to mention townspeople, even from the perspective of players, werewolves and vampires have too much in common—they fear the same things and love the same things.
No wonder the townspeople feared the Count because of it.
How should I answer Ah Xiang?
This question immediately made several players present look embarrassed.
They all understand what a blood moon is - it is an evil prop used by a certain player, and it may have a certain ability to replicate and make wishes to create a werewolf that looks like a boss but is extremely greedy, but how to deal with it? These nc explanations, will they not make them suspicious?
They can't even explain their identities to each other. They can't say that they are players who came here to complete the mission, right?Isn't that just being rejected as a different kind?
When it was difficult, Yu Yue shook his head: "Werewolves and the nobles in the castle are by no means the same kind."
Ah Xiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you guarantee it?"
"When we were in the castle, we were also attacked by werewolves. At that time, it was the earl who stood up and protected us, so nobles and werewolves are definitely not colleagues. It is the blood moon that can turn people into werewolves," Yu Yue answered honestly , "It gains the power to control others by tricking others into making a contract with it. Perhaps the first person who made a wish to the blood moon longed for the power of the earl, so he became such a monster. Now the blood moon has been shattered by us Now, you will see the answer tonight."
A Xiang stared at him, pondered for a moment: "In this case, why did the earl, as the supreme lord, never help us when the town was attacked by werewolves?"
Before Yu Yue could open his mouth, Joshua said impatiently, "You all offend your superiors and don't recognize this lord at all. Naturally, there is no need for him to protect you, right?"
"Joshua!" At the same time, Aji, who had been staring at Joshua, yelled angrily.
After a moment of silence, Aji said in a hoarse voice: "Just now, my father's body was found. Yes, it was in that deserted orchard. We still don't know the reason for his death. You may You will think that we are making a fuss, why do we have to fight against the earl. But in heaven, my brother, my father and mother, I have loyally guarded this town for the earl for life. It is precisely because of this that we cannot tolerate being abandoned by the earl. .”
"If the count hadn't taken Sucia away just now," Aji said, "after Carl's death, after Joshua's death, none of us would believe in this legend. It is precisely because we still have a little hope , so the storyteller has always been regarded as a treasure!"
"Then do you regard me as a treasure?" Joshua couldn't help but angrily said, and was glared back by Axiang.
"...if you don't steal something, we will." Aggie ended the conversation coldly.
Yu Yue: "..."
Everyone: "..."
The scene was too embarrassing.
Lin Yin hesitated to speak, but Gou Zhu couldn't help muttering "Why are you so awkward".
Only Yu Yue showed some empathy.
Intellectually, no one is right.If you think about it differently, the earl has not appeared for a long time, and blood-sucking monsters invade every night, who would dare to believe the rumors?Not only that, but relatives were murdered by monsters, but they didn't get help from their masters. This feeling must make people even more desperate.
Yu Yue took a deep breath: "I understand."
Several people looked at him.
"You are right. With our current preparations alone, we cannot fully guarantee everyone's safety. There is also no way to directly prove that the blood moon has nothing to do with the Earl, but it is precisely because of this that we have to find the lost story and completely Find out what happened. Before that, can I trouble you to cooperate, provide us with some clues, and find some food for the banquet?" Yu Yue said seriously.
[Barrage: Woohoo, little brother is so gentle and reasonable. 】
[Barrage: To be honest, I can't empathize with them. These NPCs are like the wheels of a car turning back and forth, and they don't believe that they are safe. I can't understand. 】
[Barrage: If you were attacked by werewolves every night for hundreds of years, and your loved ones would die at any time, would you still believe in fairy tales? 】
[Barrage: You are not reconciled, loyal to defending the earl's territory for so long, and his father died again. 】
[Barrage: I heard my blood pressure rise, cerebral palsy blood moon. 】
[Barrage [Six Pointed Star]: Huh?Is there something wrong with our props? 】
【Barrage:? ! ! ! 】
The sudden appearance of the barrage made all the other barrages come to a sudden stop as if a big hand had pressed the pause button, and slid helplessly to one side.
Only the guild management that suddenly appeared just now issued a new barrage - the guild icon behind its name is a hexagram composed of two triangles interlaced up and down, with pure black gold edges.
The top guild among the four major guilds, Hexagram, is also a guild that all players dare not mention casually.It is rumored that their president has never shown his face outside the dungeon, and no one has seen him in the dungeon. To use a very clichéd way, "everyone who has seen him is dead."
But now, no one wants to joke about it.
[Barrage [Six Pointed Star]: What are you afraid of?Let's come out and chat. 】
[Barrage [Silver Fox]: Well, you say. 】
[Barrage [Six-Pointed Star]: Yes, let me tell you, I have fallen in love with the person you are looking for. I heard that he was able to cooperate with NC to destroy one of our key props, which is enough to show that the individual has a certain strength.Let's compete fairly and see if he will choose the guild he belongs to according to the guild ranking, and also see how much room for training his pet has. 】
[Barrage [Six-Pointed Star]: But he has to survive. 】
[Bullet screen: [Green vine garland]: Don't you think you're too shameless to grab newcomers' props again? 】
[Barrage [Six-Pointed Star]: The player has been invited to join the club. 】
【Barrage:! ! ! 】
Hexagram members are extremely good at leading battles, especially in guild management.After he uttered these few words that were enough to blow up the barrage, he left the live broadcast room directly after throwing down an application for membership.Only the live viewers in Yu Yue's live broadcast room were anxious, for fear that Yu Yue would directly join the Hexagram Guild according to the guild ranking after clearing the level.
The incident of this unlucky guild was widely spread, and it didn't take long for dozens of small guilds to invite Yu Yue to join the guild.Everyone was furious and vowed to let Yu Yue pass the level...but he was stuck at the invitation of the guild.
And this way, the number of people in Yu Yue's live broadcast room once again exaggerated and soared, and Yu Yue who exaggerated to the screen also showed a little surprised expression.
He glanced at the golden number representing the number of viewers in the upper right corner. If he remembered correctly, the number of onlookers when he entered the "S" level dungeon was nearly 30, and the number of onlookers now is almost reaching the same huge number up.
Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?
Is it the same as last time, is it about to pass the level?
The sudden increase in the number of onlookers gave Yu Yue considerable support and confidence.Facing Aji, who was still hesitating, he affirmed: "If you don't do anything now, or stop us from doing this, it will make the situation more dangerous-let's say in terms of food, since you If you are worried that the monsters will come out to suck human blood at night, you should find food for them as soon as possible, isn't that the case?"
Yu Yue explained again and again, finally making Aji and Axiang's expressions loose.
Aji murmured: "I used to really believe in legends."
When he said this, his eyes looked a little confused at the wall of the church, where the silver ornaments he prepared were still hanging.
Following his gaze, Yu Yue also noticed that the jewelry was different.Among the messy silver products that had been burnt, small crowns still glowed faintly.
For a moment, a thought flashed through his mind.There was a moment of disbelief in his eyes.
He carefully observed Aji's expression, and confirmed what he was thinking even more. He couldn't help being a little excited, and his hands hanging by his sides curled up slightly.
"Wait a minute, I remembered, Aji. You once said," Yu Yue's voice was a little tense, "your father heard a very beautiful love story from his ancestors. Isn't that right? "
Ajixiang looked at Yu Yue.
Yu Yue raised his finger and pointed to the silver ornaments on the side of the church: "I think the reason why you understand that vampires are afraid of silver ornaments is because your father's ancestors once gave silver ornaments to a vampire noble lady."
Aji opened his eyes slightly.
【Barrage:……? ? ? 】
[Barrage: Wait a minute, could this silver jewelry be? ? ? 】
[Barrage: Raise your hand!I noticed!At that time, the fire burned all the silver products, leaving only the crown ornament. I thought it was a bug, but now it seems that it is the earl's gentleness... Mom, I am tempted! 】
[Barrage: Is it Maria? 】
Yu Yue said, "It's Miss Maria, right?"
Aji's pupils suddenly dilated, and even Axiang beside him fixed his eyes on Yu Yue.
This is a story belonging to their family, and no outsider should know it.
The expressions of the two of them made Yu Yue confirm his guess.
The details at that time are vivid, as if the karmic fire born in hell melted all the silver products, but left only the silver jewelry of the crown.
"Miss Maria became an immortal vampire in order to be able to give her lover more company, and she relied on his gift to maintain her sanity until a hundred years after her lover's death," Yu Yue thought of the situation when he first met Maria , couldn't help feeling sad in her heart, and said to the two of them, "She told you her weakness just so that you wouldn't get hurt. But now, do you have to think that she has turned into a monster?"
"You, how did you know..." Aji was really at a loss at this moment.Unless Maria told Yu Yue this story, he couldn't think of any way to let Yu Yue know about it.
"It was Maria who told me." Yu Yue said.
Aji swayed all over and almost fell.
He had always thought of this as a made-up romantic love story, and he couldn't help but feel horrified at the thought that Maria was still "alive".
Aji and Axiang looked at each other.
They are not stupid, just a crown ornament can be associated with a person, which is enough to show that Yu Yue and Maria have a deep friendship.
Does Mary really exist?
If she really exists, her feelings for her lover for nearly a hundred thousand years are really much deeper than those of their descendants who can hardly remember this story-this has to make them feel horrified , moved and shaken in my heart.
Aji looked at the silver crown ornaments hanging on the wall again, and he couldn't help but hear the story his father told him again in his heart.
For them, the Earl was just like a figure in myths and legends, but Maria had intersected with them, more like a family member they had forgotten.
They still retain the last trust in their families.
"Please help us, we will never do anything that puts everyone in danger." Yu Yue promised.
The scene fell into silence for a moment.A breeze blowing from nowhere, carrying a fruity aroma, caused the silver ornaments at the church door to shake and make a muffled sound.
Finally, Aji looked at Yu Yue, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
"We will do our best to assist you, figure out the ins and outs of all these things, and hold the banquet as safely as possible."
Sucia really "lived" over.
Just like the old legend, people who have been loyal and kind throughout their lives prepare the last gift for their masters at the end of their lives.The nobles in the castle heard the news, and after accepting his gift, they took his subjects back to the castle and lived happily ever after.
This is a story that no one believes, but when it really happened in front of your eyes, no one can doubt it.
[Barrage: Ahhhh! 】
[Barrage: Who else dares not believe this legend?Who else? 】
[Barrage: Then the rumor will be self-defeating, right?In the face of such a miracle, the blood moon is a ball of yarn! 】
[Barrage: Woohoo, it's good to be alive.Earl is very kind!I'm about to fall in love with the Earl. 】
【Barrage:? ? ? 】
In the picture, the tall and handsome man slowly took a step back and glanced at Karl who was still kneeling on the ground.
Sucia was lying in Carl's arms and twitching, but his expression was not in pain, but as if he was adapting to his new body and new "life".
Carl opened his eyes wide, and while still showing an expression of disbelief, he couldn't help following Sucia's movements so that the little boy could stand on the ground smoothly.
She held Sucia's pale face and stroked it like holding a precious treasure. She couldn't move her eyes away, and she couldn't even stop her tears.She quickly straightened Sucia's messy clothes, her whole body trembling.After a while, she couldn't kneel any longer, and with a whimpering sound, she rushed towards Sucia, causing Sucia to stagger in her arms.
"Mom...Mom." Sucia said in a daze, like a newborn child, familiar with the term again.
His blood-colored eyes looked around in bewilderment, meeting Joshua's gaze.
Joshua had been staring blankly at all this with his mouth open, when he suddenly woke up.
He jumped up from the ground, stretched out his long arms, and praised loudly in a very full voice: "I knew all these legends were true, please allow me to offer you my most loyal hymn!"
The earl, who was looking at Carl, was suddenly shouted and praised. He raised his jaw, frowned and took a step back.
[Barrage: Hahahaha, you better stop talking. 】
[Barrage: Earl hates them so much! 】
[Danmaku: Really, if you look carefully, you can see that he has retreated several times...]
No matter how the count backed away, Karl’s voice turned from grief to joy and Joshua’s loud praise had already been heard by the young man at the church door. He couldn’t help poking his head out, and when he saw Sucia woke up, he also yelled and went crazy Run back and tell the people in the church the news.
Everyone couldn't believe it was real at once, but they were no longer afraid of the still burning but harmless flame, and they ran out one after another.
When they saw Sucia standing beside Grandma Karl in good health and his blood-colored amber eyes, they all stood there in shock.The candlelight in the church behind stretched their shadows forward, like people prostrate in front of the count.
I don't know which townsman made this action first, and after a while, they all saluted the count solemnly.Even the players Lin Yin, A Xiao and Gou Zhu were completely driven by the townspeople's emotions and mixed in the crowd to do the same thing.
The leader, Aji, also trembled and bent over, not daring to speak.
[Bullet screen: Oh my god, if it wasn't for the mission, I thought I had already cleared the level after watching this scene. 】
[Barrage: Really don't hit the south wall and don't look back!But no wonder they. 】
【Barrage: But I don't think the earl really wants to pay attention to them...】
【Danmaku: Yes, to be honest, even this gift was accepted for the sake of my little brother. 】
In the picture, the proud and reserved earl seemed to really dislike this scene. He put on the leather gloves again, turned sideways and said something to the butler.
In the process, his eyes accidentally met Shang Yu Yue's shocked eyes, which were sparkling with surprise, and his words got stuck involuntarily.
count:"……"
The Earl pursed his lips slightly.
In fact, it shouldn't be.He obviously doesn't like these bluffing kids.Why did you accept such a trivial gift?
But it was really inexplicable, when the bright red fruit appeared in front of him, he had the feeling that he wanted to get it no matter what.
Could it be because of this boy again?
Just like now, just looking at his shining eyes seemed to remind him of that starry night again.
And to see him happy and happy, as if he was also happy.
There was a long-lasting feeling that seemed to be lingering in the air, soaking his brown-blond hair, letting that strand of hair fall on his forehead, and softening his expression.It was as if something came alive in his life and flowed slowly around him again, bringing a warm current like recovery.
Compared with the previous emotions that were completely unverifiable, the emotions this time seemed to arise naturally from the bottom of his heart, just like streams left from high places and seeds germinated from the soil.
The count pursed his lips slightly, and was about to speak again, when he suddenly saw a shadow jump up from Yu Yue's side.
It's Sucia.
Sucia, who was young and naive, finally got used to this body completely. He still had the memory of his life, and his face was full of surprises.He didn't expect that everything was true, and when his life was about to disappear, he was really chosen by the earl.
This ecstasy made him brave, and he ran towards the count desperately, waving his limbs.
Everyone was taken aback by him, and the butler was also greatly surprised by his rude action. He stepped in front of the count, and suddenly reached out his hand to stop him: "What are you doing!"
Suzia, who was free from illness and full of vigor, stretched out her hands and feet towards the earl, and her whole body was stuck on the butler's arm, screaming, "My lord earl!"
"Lord Earl" came back to his senses suddenly, and was obviously taken aback, but his good self-cultivation allowed him to forgive the child's unreasonableness, but he quickly put away his stunned expression, and quickly took a step back.
This time, he rolled up his large and luxurious cloak, took one last deep look at Yu Yue, and disappeared into a mist on the spot.
With his departure, the raging fire that had been burning in the church suddenly went out at this moment, leaving no trace.
Outside the church, Sucia rushed to nothing and immediately burst into tears.
Townsman: "..."
[Barrage: Hahahahaha, the earl was full of disgust for the baby he picked up, and left quickly. 】
[Barrage: Now I can be sure that this gift is absolutely inexplicable.Woooooo, does he only accept gifts from his little brother?And only talk to the little brother? 】
【Barrage:?It's so strange for you to say that! 】
[Barrage: Don't over-interpret it, he should only talk to the butler level. 】
In the picture, Sucia was still struggling, so the butler pressed him to the ground and said sharply: "Stand still, after entering the castle, you must abide by the etiquette requirements in the castle. Come, say goodbye to your relatives and friends now Bar."
When Sucia heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Karl, and then at Yu Yue.
The glance he had just had with the earl brought Yu Yue back to his senses.Yu Yue blinked at him: "It's okay, we will bring Aunt Karl to the castle soon."
Carl on the side heard Yu Yue say this, kept wiping away his tears, and it took him a while to form a sentence: "No...it doesn't matter, no matter how long or short it is, as long as you are still here, grandma will definitely come to you."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a loud sniff.
It turned out that some townspeople were moved and cried!
The fact is so strange, when people find that their long-cherished thoughts have become reality, the barrier between life and death is instantly broken, and all anxious and worrying emotions are emptied from everyone's minds.Their good natures returned to their bodies, and they were all happy for Carl.
As the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, a blue sky gradually appeared.
Under the sky, in front of the church.The butler grabbed Sucia's hand, turned his head to stare at Yu Yue and said, "You are really bold, and sometimes people can't figure out what you do. But as a butler, courage is indeed a necessary quality. Hmph, you still Don't let the momentary joy get in your way if you don't quite pass the test, and remember to bring them back before the night comes."
After finishing speaking, the butler gently tugged Sucia and left with a group of vampires.They were gone so fast it was like a bolt of lightning passing through a dark cloud.When everyone looked up, they could only see the empty streets and the breeze blowing across their cheeks.
【Barrage:! ! !The butler's words before he left, is this a compliment? 】
[Barrage: Right?I feel that the favorability between my cub and this nc is also very high! 】
[Bullet screen: wait to clear the level. 】
[Barrage: Not yet, these ordinary townspeople are indeed easily persuaded when they see miracles.But whether the task can be completed depends on a few key NPCs. 】
[Barrage: Never mind, let's talk about it. 】
In the picture, Yu Yue was also stunned for a while before realizing that it was a compliment.Even, perhaps with some hints.
He was a little embarrassed immediately, and turned his head to look for a partner in the crowd.
But Lin Yin and the others had already stood up and waved to him. Before he could go over to meet them, he was surrounded by the townspeople who rushed forward.
They were very excited. Although they surrounded him, they didn't know what to say.Everyone had different expressions on their faces, ranging from apprehension and excitement to fear and panic.
The fat store manager who had said bad things about the earl was also among them, and his face was full of panic at this time.
"Just now, was that really the Earl?"
"He really brought Sucia back to life, and took Sucia away? Will they live in the castle forever?"
"Well, little brother, are you really the butler from the castle? Is the count really going to hold a banquet? Can we attend?"
"So, the monsters at night are really not vampires, but what are those monsters?"
"Will the Earl also suck blood? The Earl won't suck our blood at the banquet, will he?"
A series of questions instantly overwhelmed Yu Yue.
He was still able to answer the first few questions, but he didn't know what would happen at the count's banquet, let alone make any guarantees.
Yu Yue raised his head, looked at his partners for help, and saw Lin Yin standing on the edge of the crowd and mouthing him to say, "Talk about the mission."
He nodded, trying to sort out his thoughts, and told everyone what happened and what was needed, and everyone responded immediately.
"Blood moon? Werewolf? So there is someone else who has been killing us?"
"Food, the food is simple, there is food everywhere, what do you like, tell us later, and we will deliver it to your door."
"But if you want to talk about the history of the castle, it's not easy. The only people who know about it here are Grandma Karl's grandparents, and few people know about it now. It has always been said that things at night are scary, but no one knows. what are they?"
"Nevertheless, we can tell you what we know in advance!"
The townspeople talked a lot, on the one hand, they were excited, and on the other hand, they wanted to make up for their previous disrespect.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout from behind, and they all quieted down again, making way for both sides.
It was the two brothers Aji and Axiang who came over.To be precise, it was Axiang who walked over holding Aji's neck and stood in front of several people.It seemed that the two brothers had another quarrel, and Aji blushed at this moment: "Let me go first."
Ah Xiang glared at him, looked at Yu Yue and said, "We're sorry for what happened before, but you have to understand that we didn't go after the nobles in the castle."
His tone was tougher than Aji's, but his words made sense.
For the townspeople, what they want to fight against is indeed an unidentified monster in the dark. It's just that some people spread rumors and confuse monsters with legends, which made many townspeople maliciously speculate about the nobles in the castle.
Yu Yue nodded, not knowing what A Xiang would say next, so he waited for him to say more.
But Ah Xiang said again: "We did something wrong, the two brothers are responsible for it, and it has nothing to do with other people in the town. Please explain this to the Earl."
As soon as he said this, the fat store manager who had been blushing finally couldn't help it, and said, "It's all my fault, it's because I said outrageous things in front of the little butler that I angered the Earl."
"Oh," said one woman, "I told my daughter not to believe those good stories. I'm sorry. I also chased Joshua away."
"Hey, you put it that way, we all drove Joshua away!"
Joshua, who was inexplicably named by many people, was not guilty at all this time. Instead, he raised his chin and counterattacked: "Shut up! I'm going to enter the castle soon!"
The townspeople laughed, and someone apologized to him.
It's just that the relaxed atmosphere didn't last long, and the surroundings became quiet again.Because all the townspeople saw that Aji's face was still solemn.
Aji didn't say a word, just silently watching Joshua and Carl standing next to Yu Yue.
Joshua seldom raised his eyebrows. Although his clothes were tattered, his face was full of spirits, but perhaps because of his status as an imperial musician, he did not sneer at Aji, but put away the smile on his face, pursed his lips and looked back at him .
Aji seemed to want to say something, but Axiang stretched out his hand beside him and stopped him.
"Then this unpleasant matter, let it pass. Our gathering was originally held for the earl, please don't stop, just to celebrate the upcoming banquet. Everyone is busy in their own way, and it can be regarded as doing their best for the earl Do your best, don't disturb the steward brothers here." Before Aji spoke, Axiang said.
The townspeople cheered in a small area and left in a cooperative manner, but many people still looked back at Yu Yue eagerly, as if they really wanted to make friends with him.
The scene was both lively and quiet, the streets and alleys were full of laughter again, but only two brothers, Aji and Axiang, Joshua, Carl, and Yu Yue were left at the door of the church.
Lin Yin and the others came forward and stood with Yu Yue, feeling that Ah Xiang had something else to say.
Sure enough, Ah Xiang invited a few people into the undamaged church after seeing the townspeople leave. After pondering for a while, he said to Yu Yue: "We all trust you very much. Everyone has seen it too. It was you who calmed down the earl." I even witnessed the legend. But I have to ask one more question for the people of the town, the nobles in the castle, do they really not feed on blood? Could it be that the bloody moon in the orchard, those who suck human blood The wolves really have nothing to do with them?"
As expected of being one of the leaders in the town, Ah Xiang speaks in a very orderly manner, and leaves room for it.
Not to mention townspeople, even from the perspective of players, werewolves and vampires have too much in common—they fear the same things and love the same things.
No wonder the townspeople feared the Count because of it.
How should I answer Ah Xiang?
This question immediately made several players present look embarrassed.
They all understand what a blood moon is - it is an evil prop used by a certain player, and it may have a certain ability to replicate and make wishes to create a werewolf that looks like a boss but is extremely greedy, but how to deal with it? These nc explanations, will they not make them suspicious?
They can't even explain their identities to each other. They can't say that they are players who came here to complete the mission, right?Isn't that just being rejected as a different kind?
When it was difficult, Yu Yue shook his head: "Werewolves and the nobles in the castle are by no means the same kind."
Ah Xiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you guarantee it?"
"When we were in the castle, we were also attacked by werewolves. At that time, it was the earl who stood up and protected us, so nobles and werewolves are definitely not colleagues. It is the blood moon that can turn people into werewolves," Yu Yue answered honestly , "It gains the power to control others by tricking others into making a contract with it. Perhaps the first person who made a wish to the blood moon longed for the power of the earl, so he became such a monster. Now the blood moon has been shattered by us Now, you will see the answer tonight."
A Xiang stared at him, pondered for a moment: "In this case, why did the earl, as the supreme lord, never help us when the town was attacked by werewolves?"
Before Yu Yue could open his mouth, Joshua said impatiently, "You all offend your superiors and don't recognize this lord at all. Naturally, there is no need for him to protect you, right?"
"Joshua!" At the same time, Aji, who had been staring at Joshua, yelled angrily.
After a moment of silence, Aji said in a hoarse voice: "Just now, my father's body was found. Yes, it was in that deserted orchard. We still don't know the reason for his death. You may You will think that we are making a fuss, why do we have to fight against the earl. But in heaven, my brother, my father and mother, I have loyally guarded this town for the earl for life. It is precisely because of this that we cannot tolerate being abandoned by the earl. .”
"If the count hadn't taken Sucia away just now," Aji said, "after Carl's death, after Joshua's death, none of us would believe in this legend. It is precisely because we still have a little hope , so the storyteller has always been regarded as a treasure!"
"Then do you regard me as a treasure?" Joshua couldn't help but angrily said, and was glared back by Axiang.
"...if you don't steal something, we will." Aggie ended the conversation coldly.
Yu Yue: "..."
Everyone: "..."
The scene was too embarrassing.
Lin Yin hesitated to speak, but Gou Zhu couldn't help muttering "Why are you so awkward".
Only Yu Yue showed some empathy.
Intellectually, no one is right.If you think about it differently, the earl has not appeared for a long time, and blood-sucking monsters invade every night, who would dare to believe the rumors?Not only that, but relatives were murdered by monsters, but they didn't get help from their masters. This feeling must make people even more desperate.
Yu Yue took a deep breath: "I understand."
Several people looked at him.
"You are right. With our current preparations alone, we cannot fully guarantee everyone's safety. There is also no way to directly prove that the blood moon has nothing to do with the Earl, but it is precisely because of this that we have to find the lost story and completely Find out what happened. Before that, can I trouble you to cooperate, provide us with some clues, and find some food for the banquet?" Yu Yue said seriously.
[Barrage: Woohoo, little brother is so gentle and reasonable. 】
[Barrage: To be honest, I can't empathize with them. These NPCs are like the wheels of a car turning back and forth, and they don't believe that they are safe. I can't understand. 】
[Barrage: If you were attacked by werewolves every night for hundreds of years, and your loved ones would die at any time, would you still believe in fairy tales? 】
[Barrage: You are not reconciled, loyal to defending the earl's territory for so long, and his father died again. 】
[Barrage: I heard my blood pressure rise, cerebral palsy blood moon. 】
[Barrage [Six Pointed Star]: Huh?Is there something wrong with our props? 】
【Barrage:? ! ! ! 】
The sudden appearance of the barrage made all the other barrages come to a sudden stop as if a big hand had pressed the pause button, and slid helplessly to one side.
Only the guild management that suddenly appeared just now issued a new barrage - the guild icon behind its name is a hexagram composed of two triangles interlaced up and down, with pure black gold edges.
The top guild among the four major guilds, Hexagram, is also a guild that all players dare not mention casually.It is rumored that their president has never shown his face outside the dungeon, and no one has seen him in the dungeon. To use a very clichéd way, "everyone who has seen him is dead."
But now, no one wants to joke about it.
[Barrage [Six Pointed Star]: What are you afraid of?Let's come out and chat. 】
[Barrage [Silver Fox]: Well, you say. 】
[Barrage [Six-Pointed Star]: Yes, let me tell you, I have fallen in love with the person you are looking for. I heard that he was able to cooperate with NC to destroy one of our key props, which is enough to show that the individual has a certain strength.Let's compete fairly and see if he will choose the guild he belongs to according to the guild ranking, and also see how much room for training his pet has. 】
[Barrage [Six-Pointed Star]: But he has to survive. 】
[Bullet screen: [Green vine garland]: Don't you think you're too shameless to grab newcomers' props again? 】
[Barrage [Six-Pointed Star]: The player has been invited to join the club. 】
【Barrage:! ! ! 】
Hexagram members are extremely good at leading battles, especially in guild management.After he uttered these few words that were enough to blow up the barrage, he left the live broadcast room directly after throwing down an application for membership.Only the live viewers in Yu Yue's live broadcast room were anxious, for fear that Yu Yue would directly join the Hexagram Guild according to the guild ranking after clearing the level.
The incident of this unlucky guild was widely spread, and it didn't take long for dozens of small guilds to invite Yu Yue to join the guild.Everyone was furious and vowed to let Yu Yue pass the level...but he was stuck at the invitation of the guild.
And this way, the number of people in Yu Yue's live broadcast room once again exaggerated and soared, and Yu Yue who exaggerated to the screen also showed a little surprised expression.
He glanced at the golden number representing the number of viewers in the upper right corner. If he remembered correctly, the number of onlookers when he entered the "S" level dungeon was nearly 30, and the number of onlookers now is almost reaching the same huge number up.
Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?
Is it the same as last time, is it about to pass the level?
The sudden increase in the number of onlookers gave Yu Yue considerable support and confidence.Facing Aji, who was still hesitating, he affirmed: "If you don't do anything now, or stop us from doing this, it will make the situation more dangerous-let's say in terms of food, since you If you are worried that the monsters will come out to suck human blood at night, you should find food for them as soon as possible, isn't that the case?"
Yu Yue explained again and again, finally making Aji and Axiang's expressions loose.
Aji murmured: "I used to really believe in legends."
When he said this, his eyes looked a little confused at the wall of the church, where the silver ornaments he prepared were still hanging.
Following his gaze, Yu Yue also noticed that the jewelry was different.Among the messy silver products that had been burnt, small crowns still glowed faintly.
For a moment, a thought flashed through his mind.There was a moment of disbelief in his eyes.
He carefully observed Aji's expression, and confirmed what he was thinking even more. He couldn't help being a little excited, and his hands hanging by his sides curled up slightly.
"Wait a minute, I remembered, Aji. You once said," Yu Yue's voice was a little tense, "your father heard a very beautiful love story from his ancestors. Isn't that right? "
Ajixiang looked at Yu Yue.
Yu Yue raised his finger and pointed to the silver ornaments on the side of the church: "I think the reason why you understand that vampires are afraid of silver ornaments is because your father's ancestors once gave silver ornaments to a vampire noble lady."
Aji opened his eyes slightly.
【Barrage:……? ? ? 】
[Barrage: Wait a minute, could this silver jewelry be? ? ? 】
[Barrage: Raise your hand!I noticed!At that time, the fire burned all the silver products, leaving only the crown ornament. I thought it was a bug, but now it seems that it is the earl's gentleness... Mom, I am tempted! 】
[Barrage: Is it Maria? 】
Yu Yue said, "It's Miss Maria, right?"
Aji's pupils suddenly dilated, and even Axiang beside him fixed his eyes on Yu Yue.
This is a story belonging to their family, and no outsider should know it.
The expressions of the two of them made Yu Yue confirm his guess.
The details at that time are vivid, as if the karmic fire born in hell melted all the silver products, but left only the silver jewelry of the crown.
"Miss Maria became an immortal vampire in order to be able to give her lover more company, and she relied on his gift to maintain her sanity until a hundred years after her lover's death," Yu Yue thought of the situation when he first met Maria , couldn't help feeling sad in her heart, and said to the two of them, "She told you her weakness just so that you wouldn't get hurt. But now, do you have to think that she has turned into a monster?"
"You, how did you know..." Aji was really at a loss at this moment.Unless Maria told Yu Yue this story, he couldn't think of any way to let Yu Yue know about it.
"It was Maria who told me." Yu Yue said.
Aji swayed all over and almost fell.
He had always thought of this as a made-up romantic love story, and he couldn't help but feel horrified at the thought that Maria was still "alive".
Aji and Axiang looked at each other.
They are not stupid, just a crown ornament can be associated with a person, which is enough to show that Yu Yue and Maria have a deep friendship.
Does Mary really exist?
If she really exists, her feelings for her lover for nearly a hundred thousand years are really much deeper than those of their descendants who can hardly remember this story-this has to make them feel horrified , moved and shaken in my heart.
Aji looked at the silver crown ornaments hanging on the wall again, and he couldn't help but hear the story his father told him again in his heart.
For them, the Earl was just like a figure in myths and legends, but Maria had intersected with them, more like a family member they had forgotten.
They still retain the last trust in their families.
"Please help us, we will never do anything that puts everyone in danger." Yu Yue promised.
The scene fell into silence for a moment.A breeze blowing from nowhere, carrying a fruity aroma, caused the silver ornaments at the church door to shake and make a muffled sound.
Finally, Aji looked at Yu Yue, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
"We will do our best to assist you, figure out the ins and outs of all these things, and hold the banquet as safely as possible."
