Chapter 197: The King’s Secret!

Puff!

Before the vampire could say anything else, the group directly threw out two grenade-like spheres!

The two spheres exploded simultaneously, releasing a strong smell of garlic and a blinding light in an instant!

Puff!

"Ah-choo!!"

The strong light burnt the vampire’s hair in an instant, making its skin curl up, and the garlic made it kneel down directly!

A player stepped on his head, saying, "The Light Stone is indeed useful, I wonder who discovered it."

"Let’s go, White Wolf. Our goal this time is to sneak into the royal city and see if we can find the treasure trove."

The leading man took out a few throwing knives from his backpack and placed them at his waist, saying, "These are just some low-level vampires, equivalent to the second or third order. Don’t be careless."

Although they are only of the second or third order, the advantages of vampires allow them to unleash power far beyond their own level.

However, due to their weaknesses, they can be restrained by players of much lower levels.

The group of players sneaked into the interior of the city wall via a ladder on the wall, which was hollow with corridors inside.

After observing this point, the group began their operation.

They sneaked into the passage inside the city wall, which was covered with twisted thorns and damp moss.

As they walked, there were puddles on the ground, and only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty passage inside the city wall.

Along the way, they encountered several Undead, but they were just mindless zombies, easily dealt with by the group.

After that, they arrived at a secret room.

The man in the lead opened the door to the secret room and entered after making sure there were no monsters inside.

Inside, there were some wine utensils, as well as some rotten wooden tables, with many skeletons on the ground.

The skeletons were wearing armor, with a very old-fashioned style.

Some players took off the armor, which they could later sell in the player market.

The group then briefly explored the secret room but did not find anything special.

Just then, a player suddenly entered a room in the secret chamber.

In front of the room were many iron bars, resembling a prison.

A body was chained by its hands and feet, nailed to the wall.

A player holding a Light Stone torch approached and bent down, "It’s a vampire, looks like it’s already dead."

"Why would they lock up a vampire?"

"They must have committed a crime."

"Here’s a letter."

A player picked up the letter on the table and opened it, "The king has ordered the execution of the rebel, Nicholascount. My beloved uncle Jethro, count has done nothing wrong."

"Your niece Maisa begs you to spare this poor count. If you spare count, I promise to marry your eldest son."

Closing the letter, a pale-skinned player suddenly smiled, "I can smell a hint of Tauren, Rose."

"You must have heard similar stories before, like Anastasia marrying the prince to save the nobles."

"But she ended up pregnant with a noble’s child. This child not only sought power with mixed blood, but also revealed this to everyone."

"Poor prince, his love turned out to be just a green light."

"Alright, Bern, stop worrying about these meaningless things."

"Captain, don’t you find this situation interesting?"

"I am not interested."

"Oh, you are such a boring person. I really want to know what happens behind the letter."

"For example, the person in the envelope did not release Count, but deceived his niece by saying he did release Count?"

"Oh, this is interesting!"

"The niece married her uncle’s eldest son to save Count, but it turns out the uncle never released Count and kept him here!"

Captain shook his head helplessly as he watched everyone getting more and more excited.

Just then, the body chained to the wall suddenly moved!

Captain realized it and immediately raised his sword to stab the body!

However, just as his cross mithril sword was about to touch the body, the body lifted its head and spoke.

"Wait…"

Upon hearing this, the sword in Captain’s hand stopped immediately.

"Is there a plot?"

The corpse coughed out some dust laboriously, "Who are you…what kind of people are you?"

The crowd leaned in at the words, "We are humans."

The corpse’s eyes were waxen and dry, like two dried longans, "Humans, how long has it been since the Battle of the Two Saints?"

Battle of the Two Saints?

Ah, you mean that event.

The battle where Black Rex was sealed.

"About a few thousand years?"

The corpse paused at the words, "A few thousand years… then, Maisha must have died by now, right?"

"Is it too late?"

"Can you tell me why you are here?"

Upon hearing the words of the body in front of them, the captain said, "We came to stop Blacks Rex’s revenge."

The body’s yellowed eyes stared directly at everyone, saying, "Oh… the king has returned, that’s why I woke up."

"My name is Nicholas Mond, once a noble of this country, I was wrongly imprisoned here by the king…"

"If you are going to deal with Blacks Rex, Your Majesty, can you take me with you? I can help you."

One player nodded, "I feel like he is an important NPC, should we take him with us?"

Another player frowned at Nicholas, "With your current state, what can you do against Blacks Rex? What level are you?"

Nicholas raised his head, "I am not at my best, once a top-tier sixth-level legendary, though not a match for the king, I know many secrets about him."

The player with fair skin pondered, "If he is a vampire, just let him drink blood to regain his strength."

"Maybe he can help. Should we give him some blood?"

The captain suddenly grabbed the white-skinned player. "Wait, NPCs don’t always tell the truth. He might be deceiving us."

"Don’t be too naive. If he regains his strength and turns against us, we’ll be helpless."

"It may also expose us. Why not just kill him?"

Nicholas closed his eyes slowly. "If you want to kill me, I don’t mind. After all, I should have died thousands of years ago."

"But there are some things I want you to know."

"Inside the royal city, there is a huge greedy Red Wolf Portrait. Behind that painting hides a big secret…"

"It’s because I touched that portrait that I ended up in this situation."

"I hope you can find out the secret behind that painting and tell me. Please, I’m begging you."

"No matter what, I want to know the secret that the king would rather have me killed to hide."
