Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 823 Are you still alive?
After opening the door of the restaurant and leaving behind a group of vampires whose hands and feet were tied up like knots like flower ropes, Li Chengxi continued walking along the corridor.

Not long after, he opened another door and saw an empty hall and a Y-shaped staircase.

This made him realize that, oh, he had circled the castle and was back to the entrance he came in from.

The door that was kicked over by Li Chengxi was still lying on the ground. There was a figure like a squirrel, who might have heard Li Chengxi's approaching footsteps and was peeking there.

"You really came out."

When Kailin saw that it was Li Chengxi, she was about to say hello, but when she heard his words, she was shocked.

What do you mean?
Do you think I'll be captured by a vampire on the way?

Although Kailin was asked to leave by the same route Li Chengxi came from, Li Chengxi did not actually investigate the entire journey carefully, so there was no telling if he might have missed anything.

Although it was very f*cking ridiculous, he was her lifesaver after all, so Kailin had to swallow her complaints and lowered her head and said:
"Thank you so much for your help, what is your name...?"

"Come to think of it, I didn't give my name. My name is Li Chengxi."

Karen thought the name was a bit strange, but she didn't say much. It was people's freedom to choose whatever name they wanted.

Compared to this, Kailin quickly said:
"Mr. Li Chengxi, I ask you to send me back to the Demon Kingdom of Oswaya. It is not safe here. You will definitely get a satisfactory reward."

Kailin doesn't know Li Chengxi's background, but she can see.

Li Chengxi was wearing a golden-red robe, and you could tell it was worth a lot just by looking at its shape. And since he came to the vampire's hometown without wearing armor and walked around and came out unscathed, he was most likely an extremely powerful wizard.

Although you won't encounter vampires in the forest as long as you leave the castle, there's no need to expect a princess who has been spoiled since childhood to be able to get down the mountain by herself. She is very likely to get lost in the mountains and forests, and eventually become a pile of shit for wild beasts.

So after Kailin came out as Li Chengxi said, she stood at the door and didn't dare to run around. She thought that if it was Li Chengxi who came out, she could ask him for help. If it was a vampire who came out...

Anyway, there is no difference between going into the forest and staying in the vampire's castle. I will die anyway, so it doesn't matter.

"I don't have time to take you back now."

"I can wait here."

Karin really didn't dare to enter the forest. When she was standing at the door waiting, she saw those red eyes appear in the forest. Although she didn't see clearly what kind of beast it was, she thought that the beast that could move around near the vampire castle was definitely not a vegetarian.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the howling of wolves coming from the forest outside the castle, mixed with the sound of rustling footsteps in the forest.

Kailin said that she wanted to wait at the door, but she guessed that waiting here would not end well. However, Li Chengxi did not want to bring a burden with him. He had no combat experience and relied entirely on divine power.

After thinking for a while, Li Chengxi grabbed a spear in the hand of the decorative armor placed by the wall, walked outside the castle and drew a circle around Karin.

"Just wait in this circle, don't go out, I'll take you back when I come back and have time."

It was just an ordinary circle, not a magic circle at all. But as the circle was drawn, a flashing golden light appeared out of nowhere and quickly disappeared, like an invisible spherical wall.

The best option is to let her wait at the door first. If she follows Li Chengxi upstairs, Li Chengxi will have the opportunity to experiment whether he can resurrect people without going through the god of death.

It’s just that this operation is a bit too harsh.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Throwing the spear aside, Li Chengxi walked up the stairs. The stairs in the hall only led to the second floor, and from the outside, the castle must have at least three or four floors. He would probably have to find the way back up.

But it’s not a big problem. It doesn’t matter if you can’t find the way. Just catch someone and ask.

I have to be thankful that vampires can communicate. If it were something like skeleton zombies, Li Chengxi would have to run around the house on his own.

The Y-shaped staircase connects the two large doors on the second floor, but it doesn't matter which one you go through, because after Li Chengxi pushed open one of the doors, he found that both doors were connected to the same wide hall.

The stone pillars spread out one after another, extending all the way to the innermost part. Walking forward, the light blue eternal flame stretched the shadows of the pillars into thinner and longer ones.

Compared to downstairs, this place was obviously better maintained. Walking forward on the red carpet, Li Chengxi soon saw a throne at the innermost part of the hall.

This should be the audience hall, where the king usually meets with ministers.

The layouts of almost all the castles in the Demon Realm are similar. Of course, the royal city of the Silver City also has an audience hall, which is almost the same as here. The biggest difference is that behind Viola's throne hangs a huge portrait of Li Chengxi, while behind the throne here hangs a portrait of a middle-aged man.

He was probably in his forties or fifties, with a neat beard and dressed in a typical aristocratic dress, but his face was a little pale.

Li Chengxi had also seen a small portrait of the same man in the corridor downstairs. This man should be the so-called Duke.

Li Chengxi looked around to see if there was a way out, but there was nothing noteworthy in the audience hall.

But at this moment, the sound of stones rubbing against each other came into his ears, and Li Chengxi looked up instinctively.

A large ball of darkness covered Li Chengxi's face and wrapped up his entire body, like a black ball with a diameter of three meters.

This is the Dark Arts, a relatively low-level spell in magic.

But it is very useful at a low level, and even races like tieflings with dark vision cannot see through this magical darkness.

"Do it!"

Accompanied by an angry shout, several figures jumped out from the secret compartment in the ceiling, landed around the darkness that enveloped Li Chengxi, and chanted spells at the same time.

And in that darkness, a beam of light suddenly appeared, and the light tore it apart like an egg with a cracked shell.

The usefulness of Darkness lies in its ability to block vision for a moment, and Darkness is actually a spell of the school of evocation, not an illusion, so the ability to see through illusions is useless against it.

But it is a low-level spell after all. The easiest way to dispel darkness is to use strong light.

Li Chengxi only slightly increased the brightness of the light ball following him, which was enough to dispel the darkness.

It sounds like the use of darkness is in vain. In fact, when enveloped by darkness, normal adventurers will not rush out rashly, because the enemy must be waiting for you outside the darkness, and rushing out is equivalent to running into a knife's edge.

The group of people who launched the sneak attack took advantage of this mentality. All they wanted was to prevent the target from moving for a short period of time.

The moment the dark magic was broken, the spells chanted by several people also came to an end. Their wrists suddenly split open, and chains made of blood flowed out from the wounds. With a rustling sound, five chains simultaneously wrapped around Li Chengxi's legs and quickly wrapped him up. At first glance, he was wrapped like a dumpling by the blood-colored chains.

This is the blood magic unique to vampires.
