The Whispering Verses Chapter 2217: The secret method of vampires

Emilia is getting more and more excited:

"Okay! I want to collect shells, conches, and fish! Oh, can we let little Liana go with us? I want to ride it and fly on the sea, but it has never been able to Have you ever seen an unfrozen ocean?"

St. Byrons is located on the large ice cap in the far north. In fact, it is very close to the sea area known as the "Arctic Ice Sea", but that sea area only thaws for two months a year, and there are ice everywhere. It is floating ice, so it is still very different from the ocean in Yuewan Bay.

"I'll figure it out when the time comes. Don't be too rude to me. Let me stress it again. You should pay attention to things around you this week. If anything goes wrong, tell me immediately. If I don't show up, tell me immediately. Earl Belindel, okay?"

Xia De asked again. The elf girl nodded again and carefully hid her little thoughts.

After settling down Emilia, Shade told Miss Belindel that they must pay attention to whether there were any abnormal phenomena near the manor in the past few days, and then said goodbye to them. Of course, little Mia was temporarily left at Belinder Manor by Shade, and Emilia was asked to help take care of her. On the one hand, this is to let Emilia know that he will come back in the evening. On the other hand, it is also to hope that the elf girl and the little unicorn will not feel so lonely in a strange place with the company of a "familiar cat".

【What a method. 】

"She" spoke softly in my ear.

On this Sunday afternoon, the meeting place between Shade and Mr. Bernhardt was still the Spider Hotel. However, before entering, the chickens that roamed in the yard of the hotel for some reason stared at Shade and followed him. She walked all the way behind her and waited until he entered the door before leaving.

Shade told this matter to Mr. Bernhardt, who had arrived one step ahead. The latter waved his hand and ignored Shade's topic. It can be seen that he looks much more haggard than when the two last met half a week ago. Shade guessed that his investigation was not going well:

"Is the origin of the hybrid monster in the sewer related to Willendale City?"

As he asked, he looked at the other people in the hotel. On a Sunday afternoon, even this worst drinking place in the slums had a lot of people. Of course, most people come here just to kill time, and most of them play cards.

"It has nothing to do with it. My compatriots and the great elders from Willundale have all verified it for me."

Mr. Bernhardt shook his head, his face getting darker and darker:

"This shows that there are indeed people of the same race who betrayed the cult in Yuewan City. Using our blood to create monsters is a great blasphemy for vampires. But the situation is tense now, and there are rumors that Yuewan City If something big happens, Willondale cannot send anyone here to investigate for the time being, so the cult gave me this task."

He laughed dryly:

"Not only did they grant me a generous operation fund, they also sent me several good relic weapons. In fact, I have been pursuing this matter for a long time, and I would not give up even without these. Since the cult Taking it so seriously only shows that it must be something big."

"It doesn't matter, we have to continue the investigation anyway, and it's a good thing to have additional support now. So, is there any progress in the investigation of Yuewan?"

Shad asked again. Mr. Bernhardt sighed deeply, as if he wanted to let out all the depression in his heart, and then picked up the wine glass and took a sip:

"At least I confirmed that Ptolemy had nothing to do with this matter. I won't go into details about the method I used, but I'm sure he was not involved. In the past half week, I relied on my local connections to visit Many local people have probably identified candidates who are likely to cooperate with the [Dragon Cult]."

It took half a week to circle the candidates, not because Mr. Bernhardt was very efficient, but because there were not many vampires who met the bloodline requirements.

"Is there anything missing?"

Shad then asked, Mr. Bernhardt nodded helplessly:

"Of course there will be, this is just the first step of screening. But I won't visit them today. With the support of the sect, I can use the identity of the sect to test the suspects first. Wait until it is basically confirmed If you have a target, please come with me again. If there is any danger, I may not be able to defeat it myself."

Although he was also in the seventh ring, he knew very well that Shade across the table might be able to defeat him with one hand.

"No problem, do you have time tonight? I want to capture that vampire monster. The plan has been made, it just depends on whether our bait can work."

"No problem."

Mr. Bernhardt picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Shade, sighing softly:

"In the end, I was still involved in the whirlpool of trouble."

The information about the vampire monster was provided by Miss Belindel. The detailed information that Shade currently has is the general area where the monster operates, and that the thing likes the blood of drunken virgins under the age of 25.

During lunch at Belindel Manor, Shade also mentioned this matter to the witch, so she helped with a divination and believed that Shade's actions tonight would most likely yield some results.

So Shade devised a simple bait plan, in which the bait was, of course, "drunk virgins under the age of 25." Such a girl is very easy to find at Belindel Manor, because the Countess' age did not meet the requirements, so she recommended her apprentice and head maid, Miss Matilda, to assist Shade.

However, this suggestion was also rejected by Shade. The church was also investigating the matter, so he did not want anyone from Belindel Manor to be involved in this matter. Therefore, after getting an answer from Mr. Bernhardt at the Spider Hotel in the afternoon that he was willing to work together, and learning about a wonderful vampire secret method, he returned to Belindel Manor in the evening and simply asked the witch for the appropriate amount of money. Blood required.

"So, you want to dress up as a woman, carry that blood, and walk around the Moon Bay tonight like a girl?"

At the dinner table, the countess asked Shade curiously. Shade immediately thought of the [Metamorphosis Ring]. Emilia's pointed ears moved and she looked at Shade curiously. Shade immediately shook his head:

"Of course not, I don't have that weird hobby. My vampire friend can make one person's blood smell exactly the same as another person's. I plan to use this method, Put the smell of blood on my body, and then I will use illusion to disguise myself."

"But wouldn't that monster be suspicious?"

Amelia asked curiously, Shade did not hide this from her.

"It doesn't matter. My vampire friend added some 'material' to the blood, which can make the monster lose its mind and want to **** it when it smells it. This is like..."

Xia De looked around to give an example, and then he saw little Mia:

"Like catnip does to cats."

So the ladies nodded in understanding, and Shade thought that little Mia seemed to have never seen catnip.

After dinner, Shade hurried to the sewer autopsy room at the end of Spider Alley. Mr. Ptolemy Albert and Mr. Bernhardt cast spells together to help Shade get infected with the alluring smell. The taste of blood.

The process of the ceremony is very simple, but it is quite troublesome for Shade. Because he needs to wear simple clothes and lie on a stone platform with a human-shaped groove, and two vampires will pour the potion made of "drunken virgin blood" into the groove until Shade's whole body is submerged. .

It is worth mentioning that the extra chicken blood is needed to turn a small bottle of blood into a large bucket of blood. What was the original use of the stone platform with the human-shaped groove? The coroner in a burqa kindly suggested that Shade not ask:

"This is an antique I acquired, related to some ancient criminal laws."

In short, Shade held his breath for five minutes while being drowned in blood. During this period, the ritual symbols that had been carved with blood on the stone platform lit up one after another, until the blood that had drowned Shade also began to emit scarlet. light. The temperature of the blood changes from cold to hot, and then drops to such a low temperature that it seems to freeze.

The voices of Mr. Bernhardt and the coroner Mr. Albert reciting incantations became extremely strange due to the isolation of the liquid. After receiving the tapping signal of "dong dong dong~", Shade suddenly sat up from the stone platform, panting heavily and wiping the red liquid on his face:

"Isn't this ritual a bit exaggerated? I have never used a ritual that requires so much blood."

"The monster's sense of smell is very sensitive, and we don't want the smell of blood on your heels to reveal that you are a male due to an oversight."

Mr. Bernhardt joked on the sidelines, and the coroner gave Shade a wet towel stained with a special agent and asked him to wipe the liquid off his body.

"But do I really smell the 'virgin blood' now? Why didn't I smell it?"

He tried to twitch his nose, and then coughed a few times due to the smell of blood.

"This is not a smell that human noses can smell, but the smell is quite obvious to the two of us. To give an inappropriate example, you seem to be wearing the highest-end women's perfume now,"

Mr. Bernhardt said, and Mr. Albert looked Shade up and down again:

"Although we trust your magic, to be on the safe side, I suggest you drink some wine and stay tipsy."

Xia De hesitated:

"With my physical condition, it's hard for me to imagine how I can get drunk. Well, I tried to control myself. Speaking of which, I have never been drunk in my life."

The stranger's words greatly surprised the two vampires, and Mr. Albert even asked:

"Are you naturally good at drinking?"

"No, I don't like drinking very much. Even if I want to drink, I am very cautious, so I have never been drunk."

So the vampire coroner expressed his admiration without hesitation:

"If those drunkards who died drunkenly on the streets, fell to their deaths, or died in fights had thoughts like yours, my daily work would be several times easier."
