Chapter 216 Advent Day Opening Leader Extra Update (5k)

Tagul Tagula, the long-destroyed but reappeared Monte Cristo who was not found, was favored by the king and was promoted from baron to count, and then disappeared again.

And now they are back, and the current head is still called Tagule Tagulla? !

After opening his mouth, Little Akado asked the beautiful courtier who was still puzzled:
"Dwarf, in the previous attack, was there an outsider whose details we could never find out who helped the dwarves turn defeat into victory?"

"Yes, Master, what's the matter?"

"Does that person know of many ancient relics that the dwarves themselves have forgotten?"

"Yes, Master. He opened the secret passage that the dwarves themselves had forgotten, and he knew the real password."

"Dwarf, the reason why the dwarves finally turned defeat into victory was because of the sudden return of King Durin and the Kingsguard?"

"Yes, my Lord. Without the temporary return of King Durin and the Kingsguard, the dwarves would have lost long ago."

"Was the mysterious man present at the time?"

"Yes, my lord. It is said that he was at the top of the dwarf city at that time."

The beautiful courtier's repeated affirmations instantly made little Akado raise his hand from the list as if he had been electrocuted, and he fell down the stairs.

If the beautiful courtier had not helped him in time, he, the heir to the Dukedom, would have fallen to the ground for no reason.

"How is that possible? How is that possible?!"

"Master, Master?! What happened to you?"

Little Akado's reaction made the beautiful courtier feel incomprehensible and panicked.

She even wondered if an evil god had invaded her master's mind and cognition.

And little Akado had no time to explain.

He stood up and said:
"Go find my father. I must find him as soon as possible!"

"Master, what happened?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I can't say anything in this castle until I see my father."

After realizing that something serious might have happened, the beautiful courtier also placed her hand on the hilt of her sword.

"I understand, Master. Please don't leave my sight."

"Thank you, I'm lucky to have you around at this time."

But he was just about to walk out of the study.

Little Akado just stopped suddenly.

"Master? What's wrong? The Grand Duke is in the hall now. I have confirmed with someone. You can go over and see the Grand Duke directly."

In response to the beautiful courtier's question, the initial panic on little Akado's face slowly disappeared.

What emerged instead was calmness and decisiveness.

"At the banquet just now, do you think Grand Duke Bathory really apologized, or did he really want to kill Lord Tagula?"

The beautiful courtier said carefully:

"I think it's the latter."

"Then why do you think that idiot Toss always thought that it was a human and wanted to kill him?"

This time the beautiful courtier hesitated for a moment before she said uncertainly:

"Because of that so-called informant?"

Little Akado turned around and looked at the beautiful courtier in front of him and said:
"Nefilia, go and help me with something."

"Master, please give me your orders."

Little Akado took off his cane and badge, bit his palm and smeared blood on them, then handed them to the courtier in front of him with great seriousness:
"I want you to return to the Akado family's fortress immediately, have all the soldiers ready for battle, and then open the fortress!"

Although the beautiful courtier took the cane and badge handed to her by little Akado, she still asked:
"But Master, only the Grand Duke has the power to do these things."

After a brief silence, Little Acardo said to her:
"Tell them that their father is dead. I will take over the throne of Archduke Acardo immediately."

"Master, I don't understand."

"Do it, Nefilia!"

After a brief gaze, Nefilia looked at the master in front of her and said:
"Master, please stay alive!"

Little Akado didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
-
On Moon's side, relying on the powerful perception of Lord Leicester and Moon's guidance, Moon and his two companions did manage to avoid wave after wave of guards without any danger.

Now, they finally left the castle of the Bathory family.

Looking at the street ahead, Lester took off his helmet and said with relief:

"It's great, we are finally leaving this damn place!"

Although Moon, who was standing behind him, did not take off his helmet, he also put on a set of armor like him.

This was on the way out, they sneaked into the armory and changed into the standard equipment of the Bathory family.

It can avoid risks and inspections to a large extent.

Behind them was Ms. Lily, still wearing a red evening gown.

Those were weapons prepared for male vampires, so there was no armor suitable for Lily.

Forcing herself to put it on would only expose herself, but fortunately Ms. Lily had specially prepared extra masks and a color-changing evening dress.

When she came, her dress was an elegant green, but now it was a fiery red.

So the two of them pretended to be guards accompanying the distinguished guests around the castle.

This made their trip incredibly smooth.

After looking around and finding no one following him, Lester hurried forward:

"Let's go before we're discovered!"

Moon turned around and motioned for Ms. Lily to follow.

Seeing this, Ms. Lily, who wanted to say something, had no choice but to follow.

And as they got closer to the edge of the fortress.

Ms. Lily, who had not seen any enemies, whispered to Moon:

"Are we going too smoothly?"

Moen said:

"We have Leicester, it can't go wrong."

Ms. Lily wanted to say that this was not what she was worried about, but suddenly, she looked sharply into Moon's eyes.

Because Moen held her hand while speaking.

She couldn't feel any warmth from the handshake through the heavy armor, but it did make her heart beat faster for a moment.

But she immediately realized that Moon was not being ambiguous or afraid that she would lose him.

Because Moen wrote a few words on her hand.

It's a human conjunction.

There are enemies!
Pay attention to cooperation.

At this moment, although Ms. Lily was surprised, she still tried to adjust her breathing.

This is her first battle, and also a battle of life and death.

Honestly, it happened a little too fast.

After the three continued running forward for a while, Moon turned around without any warning and fired a shot towards the shadow.

Amid the gunfire, the mithril bullet accurately penetrated the body of a vampire.

Looking at the pierced body, the other party felt great surprise.

How was it discovered?!
Then comes the sudden fall to the ground as life comes to an end.

Take this as a signal.

Many vampires suddenly jumped out from both sides of the road.

This made Lester in front of him drop his jaw:
"How can it be?!"

Moon raised his gun and fired back while shouting at Lester in front of him.

"Never mind that, just kill them first! They're not strong, it won't be hard to deal with them."

Ms. Lily, who stood next to Moon, played a huge role.

She is Sequence Five, although she has no combat experience but is directly promoted to Sequence Five by God.

But no matter what, she is also an existence with the limits of human nature.

Most of these attacking vampires are just ordinary vampires. They do possess strength and speed that are beyond the reach of normal humans, as well as tricky abilities such as the ability to transform into bats.

But in front of a Sequence Five, they were really not enough.

With just a simple gaze from Ms. Lily, they would instantly transform into human form and fall to the ground instead of turning into bats.

Then Moon and the vines she summoned finished off the enemies one by one.

This is the application of the Dark Apostle's ability - temporarily changing the rest of the people around him into another race.

Apparently, what Ms. Lily is most skilled at right now is turning others into humans.

As a result, they naturally lost the ability to transform into bats and so on.

He was caught off guard and killed by Ms. Moon and Lily.

Leicester on the other side was also extremely brave.

After experiencing the initial panic, he didn't want to be caught and tortured anymore, so he started to act bravely and fearlessly.

Although he does not have any extraordinary abilities, he has the great strength and recovery ability of a king.

I was beaten up by the chef before and I was really hungry.

No matter how badly injured you are, you will recover instantly as long as you catch a blood sucker.

With the strategy of trading injuries for injuries, he became more and more courageous.

While reloading his revolver, Moon shouted to Lester in front of him under the cover of Ms. Lily:

"We can't waste time here. We need to keep moving forward. There are small airships parked at the edge of the vampire fortress for emergency use."

Lester, who was being bitten by several vampires, desperately grabbed one and bit its neck.

Feeling the nourishment of the blood, he immediately resurrected and waved the mummy in his hand to drive back the attacking vampires.

"I saw the sign, follow me!"

Following Lester's instructions, the three of them fought and retreated until they found an airship parked in front of a small church. There were not many vampires attacking them.

Looking at Lester, who was covered in blood and looked like a devil, and Moon, who was not hurt at all under the protection of Ms. Lily.

They didn't dare to come forward.

They never expected it to be so difficult.

After looking at the airship in front of the church that seemed ready to take off at any time, they hesitated for a moment and then dispersed.

Looking at the vampires leaving, Lester wiped his bloody mouth and said:

"This doesn't feel right. These guys are too weak. Let's leave now!"

"How are you doing Lester?"

In response to Moon's question, Lester waved his hand and said:

"I'm fine, so let's go now. I don't want to stay in this damn place any longer!"

"I still have a Mithril bullet."

Lester said more strangely:

"Yes, then why don't you leave? If someone comes again, you won't be able to fight back."

As Lester turned around, Moon raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, and then a gunshot rang out.

Lester looked at the muzzle of the gun pressed against his chest in disbelief.

The standard weapons from Baratheon were still emitting white smoke.

In contrast, his chest was almost torn apart and blood was gushing out crazily.

"Why?! I thought we were friends?!"

Lester wanted to scoop up his own blood and drink it to repair his body.

But gradually he found that no matter how much he drank, it was of no use.

The wound showed no sign of healing.

So he stepped back in a daze and then looked at Ms. Lily in realization.

"You turned me into a human? We are a family? Why?!"

Ms. Lily turned her gaze slightly aside.

In the sign language just now, Moon not only told him that there was an enemy.

He also asked her to cooperate in killing Lester in the end.

It was very strange. Lester and she were obviously a family, but she chose Moon, an outsider, without hesitation.

In great shock, Lester knelt on the ground with a cold body.

Looking at his eyes full of despair and confusion.

Moon was also puzzled:

"Why do you have to keep pretending even though it's come to this?"

Hearing this, Lester, who was about to die just now, suddenly laughed.

Blood was still gushing out of his chest.

But Ms. Lily suddenly covered her forehead. Her spiritual energy was being consumed too quickly. No, her transformation had already failed? !
The moment she realized this, Ms. Lily pulled Moon behind her and quickly distanced herself from Lester.

"He's a demigod!"

However, Lester, whose chest was healing rapidly, had no intention of pursuing.

He just dipped his finger in his own blood, tasted it, and asked with interest:
"You have indeed discovered it, but why didn't you wait until I sent you back before taking action? It would be more correct to return to the dwarves and kill me, right?"

Moon looked at the useless revolver with regret, then put it away and said:
"Because I realized you didn't actually intend to let us go back."

That was indeed the case. He had no intention of letting them go back. So Lester nodded and asked:
"So you followed me here anyway. Are you trying to fight back?"

"I want to send her back."

Moon came from behind Ms. Lily and stood in front of her.

This small action instantly caused Ms. Lily's heartbeat to speed up and her body temperature to soar.

Lester blew a whistle:
"I almost thought she was your courtier and your first embrace. What a loving couple!"

"So when did you find out? Don't answer yet, let me guess!"

Lester pretended to be silent for a moment, then grinned and said:
"Well, it was that idiot Toss who made you suspicious, and then those rubbish just now made you more determined?"

Regarding Lester's confidence, Moon shook his head and said:
"No."

"No? When was that?"

Lester was surprised.

That was the only flaw he found.

Moen pointed at him and said:
"You did a good job, or rather, you acted well. When we first met, you played the role of a down-and-out blood noble, and then you took on a second identity - Lester Heather from a foreign land."

"I really don't know what kind of state you tortured the original Mr. Lester into to make you know so much."

Lester waved his hand and said:
"He was indeed tortured terribly at the beginning, but I didn't torture him. I just made a deal with him, and then he agreed!"

As he said this, he suddenly realized:
"Ah, you discovered me because of the current head of the Heather family next to you? Because Lester told her that he had been deported?"

"What a pity! I was indeed prepared to kill him once and for all to eliminate any future trouble. I didn't expect that he made a deal with me just to have a chance to commit suicide first."

Moen continued to shake his head and said:
"It's not that. Ms. Lily did make me more certain that you are not Lestat, but not because of this."

Ms. Lily did say that the real Lester had fallen into a great depression a year ago, so Maughan guessed that he must have been completely sent back at that time.

There is one less person in the already scarce first batch.

But that was not the basis of Moon's suspicion, it was just a supporting evidence.

"Not yet? That's right, her reaction just now really seemed like she didn't know. So how did you find out?"

Lester became more and more curious, and he said to Moon seriously:

"Since we have been together for such a long time, please tell me the answer!"

Moen nodded and said:

“I realized something was wrong right from the beginning.”

His soul did not match the original poor prince, so Moon discovered the possibility that he was a stranger at first sight.

But soon after, Moon noticed another problem.

"At the beginning? I thought I had deceived you perfectly. At least you shouldn't have discovered who I really am. Why?"

"Redleaf Grass!"

Lester understood immediately:

"Huh? Red Leaf Grass, Red Leaf Grass. The explanation I gave you should be reasonable, right?"

Moon replied calmly:
"It makes sense, but it's still questionable. After all, there's no need for someone who isn't a vampire to insist on using redleaf grass."

"Besides, it is a bit suspicious that the second son of a duke could do so many things without the duke's permission."

"Yes, but that should also make you doubt me as the Duke's second son, not me as Leicester!"

In response to Lester's curiosity, Moon continued:
"Then there is Qiqiu. You are a foreigner, but you feel uncomfortable with the smell of the Horned Man, which is something only normal vampires would feel."

"So my suspicion deepened, and then I heard the dwarves tell me that the real you was also missing, so I was certain of this at that time."

"What happened next, Ms. Toss and Ms. Lily, only further proves that I was not wrong."

"Of course, the most important thing is that the holy water of rest I gave you was fake, but you managed to get here without anyone noticing anything was wrong!"

Lester shook his head regretfully and said:
"You've embarrassed me, sir. I once swore to my father that my plan was perfect. But now, it's a bit ugly."

Finally, he asked:
"But why did you say you found out that I wasn't going to let you leave?"

Moen looked at him strangely and said:

"If that's not the case, why wasn't there any decent resistance? This is the Bathory family's fortress, right under the nose of an angel."

Moon may know what angels mean better than Archduke Bathory himself.

Without his permission, it would be impossible for me to leave the hall.

"If you really want us to leave, you should at least pretend to give us a narrow escape, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be clear that there is something wrong with you?"

"But the result is nothing, so you want to have some fun, right? You put all your real strength here?"

"Want to see us surviving a catastrophe and then suddenly falling into the abyss of despair?"

Lester raised his eyebrows and said:

"I can't believe you know me so well."

Moen shook his head and said:

"I don't understand you, I just understand the blood nobility."

"They clearly wanted to see us despairing after escaping death but now with no way to escape, but they were unwilling to increase investment just to be absolutely sure. They are still the same as before."

Lester was slightly stunned, and after a moment, he laughed and applauded.

As he clapped, more and more vampires appeared from all directions.

Unlike the previous joke, what comes out now is a real killer.

Even if we exclude Lester himself, there are still two demigods here.

"Half of the six demigods of the Bathory family are now with you. Feel honored, so-called Lord Tagula."

"In order to kill you, we gave you enough face."

Moon looked at Lester quietly and said:

"Three Sequence Fours are not giving me face, they are insulting me."

The atmosphere, which had been somewhat relaxed, instantly reached its peak at this moment.

Lester and the two vampire demigods all felt completely offended and bared their fangs.

It was also at this time that Ms. Lily made a move that surprised everyone, including Moon.

The fiery red skirt fluttered slightly in the magnificent chapel.

Ms. Lily leaned into Morn's arms as he lowered his head and whispered to him:
"I will definitely let you get out alive!"
