Chapter 826 Duke Orlando

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

It’s hard to say whether the vampire is a hero, but he is really very sensible and answers whatever is asked without holding back at all.

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

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

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

But precisely because they seldom attacked people, this place was not truly besieged.

Generally, only when the 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 the Duke of Orlando to rinse his mouth, but in fact, it is only at this time that they can eat meat.

Most of the time, these vampires can only stay in the castle and not go out. They are responsible for maintaining everything in the castle.

The main 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 corrode all organic matter. This is manifested in the rapid decay of the house.

So over a long period of time, each of these vampires transformed into an excellent craftsman, and from time to time they went to the forest to cut down trees and build castles.

——It sounds pretty miserable.

If Duke Orlando was just a commander without troops, this castle would have collapsed by now, and the exquisite decorations would certainly not exist at all.

But speaking of decoration, Li Chengxi pointed to the portrait of the little white-haired girl on the wall and said:

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

In the entire castle, apart from the portrait of the middle-aged man, there are many portraits of the white-haired little girl. Since there is only one high-level vampire, it is very curious to know who this person is.

The female vampire lowered her head and said:
"That is the True Ancestor of our clan. Although the master has freed himself from the bloodline of the True Ancestor, he has always held the True Ancestor in high respect."

"..."

No, True Ancestor is like this?

Any True Ancestor is at least level 70, which is equivalent to a strategic nuclear weapon with the ability to destroy a country. But this is just a little girl who looks only about ten years old?
This is because Li Chengxi didn’t understand the setting.

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

Apart from anything 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 mostly exaggerated...

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

A huge amount of negative energy will accumulate around powerful undead creatures. An experienced adventurer can roughly judge how powerful the owner of this place is just by looking at the concentration of negative energy.

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

The layout of the third floor is also much more refined than that of the downstairs. It has places that seem to be of high quality, such as the library and the music room. Only the 10 mid-level vampires can enter the entire third floor, and all of this is maintained by them.

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

The vampire who led Li Chengxi was really sensible. Li Chengxi was wondering if he would be led into a trap, but 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 wants to be a servant forever?

At the end of the straight corridor, you can see a double door, which is made of metal, probably to prevent erosion by negative energy.

The female vampire lowered 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 enter, we will cause the master to go berserk."

What this means is that you can fight and kill Duke Orlando if you want, but I won't go in.

It is true that vampires want to escape from the slavery of their superiors, but they are also cunning and don't want to get involved.

But is this something you can just say you don’t want to do?

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

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

"S-Sir!"

The vampire panicked, especially when it saw Li Chengxi's hand pointing at it make a half circle and then point to the door at the end of the corridor.

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

If nothing else, at least there doesn't seem to be any trap.

Li Chengxi stepped 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. It was the sterilization effect brought by the negative energy that allowed the furniture to maintain its original shape, otherwise it 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, it looked very heavy.

As Li Chengxi was watching, he heard a slight "thump" sound, and candles in various parts of the room ignited spontaneously, lighting up a strange blue-green candlelight.

The sarcophagus made a creaking sound, followed by a loud bang. The coffin lid was broken from the inside, and a dark figure floated out from inside, gliding like a ghost and landing on the carpet not far opposite Li Chengxi.

Just looking at this shape, it looks like something out of a horror movie.

"Who disturbed my sleep?"

It sounded like the voice of a middle-aged man, but a little hoarse.

Li Chengxi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He stretched out his hand and waved. The ball of light 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 squint his eyes slightly, and the red light in his pupils was like burning charcoal, but he suppressed it.

Compared to 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 is much stronger than his younger brothers, so he should be able to see that something is wrong with Li Chengxi, but it is still not strong enough.

Otherwise it should have kneeled down immediately by now, instead of standing.
