Heart of the Castle

Chapter 285 Self-defeating Stupid Trap
The death knight in gray-black armor walked up to Li Wei, looked over with eyes burning with green fire, and held the crystal cup filled with blood-red wine in both hands.Li Wei took the wine glass, and the death knight who had completed the task immediately stepped back carefully, keeping his hands on the hilt of his waist, ready to draw his sword to defend himself at any time.

Although the knights around Levi cast disgusted eyes on him, no one, including Lord Cedric and Willpus, acted rashly.Because Trien now holds two very critical hostages, if this results in the death of the Kingdom's special envoy and Miss Lisa, not everyone can afford the consequences.

Li Wei imitated Terion and shook the wine glass, the wine in the glass rippling with an intoxicating aroma, this aroma contains the mellow taste of the first-class grapes and oak after fully absorbing the sun, it is enough to be called the first-class fine wine .However, Li Wei frowned, as if recalling something from the past.

"Trian, you should know that the identity of the deceased has determined that you cannot enjoy any rights as a citizen of the Kingdom of Arthur." Li Wei said in a calm voice: "Even if I admit it in the name of the military leader of the Viscounty You own the Green Castle, and the laws of the kingdom will not recognize it."

"That's my business." The smile on Trien's face remained unwavering, and he raised the wine glass in his hand to Li Wei, "And Mr. Li Wei, as long as you admit my ownership of the Green Castle and swear, you can bring me People left."

"Green Castle doesn't belong to you. Even if you get the so-called power of attorney, I, as the military leader of the Viscounty Land, have no right to admit it." Li Wei put his eyes back on his wine glass, his eyes flickering There was a strange light, "Besides, Trien, your real intention is to make me drink this drink?"

"Poison in the wine?" demanded Lord Cedric angrily.

The elder knight of the Sherwood family then shouted: "That's right, it must have been poisoned, the despicable accusers are best at using diseases and poisons!"

"Your words make me really sad. Is it so unbelievable to accuse the deceased?" Trien said in a sad voice. If you ignore his lavender complexion and dark red lips, you can even say that this guy is very handsome, that kind of His aristocratic demeanor made even the wealthy families in Dirk City pale in comparison. "You watched me open this barrel of wine, how could there be any chance of poisoning it? I'll drink it for you to see." He raised his glass and took a sip of the wine, with a drunken look on his face. expression.

Lord Cedric's expression was still serious, he pointed his tomahawk at Trion, and his tone was as cold as the howling wind from the north: "Put down your set of airs, many toxins have no effect on you as a vampire. "

"But those toxins have no effect on Lord Li Wei who is full of fighting spirit, right?" Trien pointed the crystal cup that had been drunk to Li Wei, "Now, Lord Li Wei, please answer me, do you Are you willing to settle the matter between us peacefully?"

"Will there be real peace between the living and the dead?" Li Wei looked at the crystal cup in his hand. The blood-red wine was crystal clear and lustrous, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "The wine is mixed with Xiaoyue Ninghua, isn't it?"

"What did you say?" Trien's expression suddenly stiffened. "What Xiaoyue Ninghua?"

"The alchemy potion made by the Son of the Forest is as sweet as water. Putting it in ordinary wine can turn decay into magic and create the most wonderful wine in the world." Every word Li Wei spit out from his mouth is full of It made Trien's expression even more ugly. "There's only one problem. When this potion dissolves fighting spirit, it doesn't leave a trace."

"So that's what you came up with!" Lord Cedric gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder you just said that this barrel of wine was prepared for us."

Trien didn't even hear Lord Cedric's words, "You, you are just an orphan from a farmer's family...how did you know about Xiaoyue Condensation?" Perhaps because of excessive shock, Trien kept The aristocratic temperament that he wanted to maintain was instantly shattered, revealing a ferocious expression.

"In Dirk City, someone used a similar trick before." Li Wei shrugged, "Since I wasn't fooled that time, of course it's even more impossible this time."

"Impossible? It's not up to you to refuse!" Trien no longer used that pretentious aristocratic temperament to cover up himself, and suddenly showed his sinister and cruel nature.He threw the crystal cup in his hand to the ground, and his sweet voice added a stench like that of a rotting corpse. "Master Li Wei, you are an upright person. You will not sacrifice any innocent people for your own self-interest. You would rather sacrifice yourself. I have rarely seen a person like you, and I admire you very much. Let you do it now A choice."

Trion paused for a while, and then made a gesture, and the black-armored knights around him immediately unsheathed their swords, and a night-like fighting spirit rose from their bodies.

"Master Li Wei, either you drink that glass of wine, and I promise that I will hand over the Kingdom Envoy and Miss Lisa to you; or if you refuse, the result will be too tragic for these two innocent people."

Li Wei looked at the wine glass in his hand quietly, and raised his head after a moment of silence, "So, I have to drink this glass of wine?"

"Lord Li Wei!" Wilpus couldn't help but growled, "Don't listen to this guy's lies, drinking that glass of wine won't save those people, it will just melt away your fighting spirit in vain."

"It's not a sacrifice, it's stupid." Lord Cedric also objected, but Levi shook his head slightly towards them, and then made a gesture that only Wilps understood.

"What guarantee do you use, after I drink this glass of poisoned wine, you will do what you promised?" Levi asked.

"Isn't the promise of a noble long-lived prince not enough?" Trien asked back with a dark expression, "And you have no other choice. Drink it, or they will die."

"I think there are other ways." Li Wei's voice sounded very calm, but Trion felt a wave of uneasiness, as if something fatal went wrong in his seemingly perfect trap.

"You have no other choice, see? These death knights are my strongest shields, even Lords with swords and knights with titles. It is impossible to take away these two distinguished guests from their protection." Trion looked at the knights with contemptuous expressions on their faces and their feet were about to move, and added a sentence with a smile: "Or, live guests."

"It's indeed a difficult choice, if you haven't made that fatal mistake." Li Wei put a fist behind his back and began to stretch out a finger, "I remember seeing such a saying somewhere, the coffin of a vampire, It is the last refuge of such dark creatures, and every coffin can be regarded as an outstanding dark magic item." Li Wei's voice echoed in the hall, and his fingers became two. "Vampires are born from the coffin, and the soul after death will also be absorbed by the coffin, making this magic item more powerful. Only divine power can cause damage to these magic items. Ordinary swords and magic have no effect. "

The third finger flicked up, and Li Wei threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground forcefully, and the crisp crystal shattering sound suddenly sounded.

"Oops!" Trien blurted out, "immediately..."

It was too late for him to say his order, a red light flashed in front of his eyes, loud noises followed, and the scorching air wave violently impacted on Trien's body, almost knocking him to the ground.An egg-shaped protective cover immediately bloomed on the unknown purple armor, isolating the fire and the blast.

Although Trien's body was unharmed due to this magical equipment, judging from his distorted expression, it looked like he had been stabbed severely.

Just when Trien was about to issue an order, Li Wei issued a fireball technique first. The huge fireball had a face somewhat similar to his own, and it smashed into the queue of death knights with a long tail flame. middle.

The fireball technique issued by Li Wei is a special power endowed by the heart of the castle. Unlike ordinary fireball techniques, the temperature of the magic flame is higher, and its power is correspondingly increased a lot.Several death knights at the core of the explosion were deprived of even the opportunity to struggle, their rotting bodies were directly burned into sections of coke, and the unsupported armor was blown apart; the same number of death knights were swallowed by the rising fire , let out a sharp scream and fled in all directions, and the flames shot out from the gaps in their armor, making a crackling sound.

Only in the outermost places on the left and right sides, a death knight escaped by chance. After the fireball exploded, they immediately let out an indistinct roar, and retreated quickly, keeping their bodies as far away from those terrible flames as possible. .

"Bursting Fireball, Li Wei, you deserve to die!" Trien screamed, swung the scarlet cloak on his shoulders, blocked himself, and then swooped into the sea of ​​flames that hadn't dissipated.

The flames immediately engulfed his figure.

The blood-sucking prince's body is not as afraid of flames as the death knight, but it is definitely not able to ignore the damage of flames. The faint red light on the half cloak is connected with the lavender light from the chain armor on Trien's body. Integrate into one body to minimize the power of fireball.However, Yu Wei still caused his skin to burn black and explode.Trien screamed in pain, but he didn't stop at a ghostly speed, but rushed towards the two black vampire coffins in the sea of ​​flames.

A burning long sword tore through the flames without warning, and slashed towards Trien's neck. Trien blocked the slash with a thin thorn sword that shone with purple light, and the clanging sound was deafening.Trion felt the unusually violent force from his wrist, almost unbearable, so he quickly backed away and escaped from the blade.

Wilps' whole body was entwined with fiery red dou qi light, which merged with the flames around him, like a male lion shaking its mane made of flames.After a heartbeat, the flames suddenly surged again, and the burning long sword roared and cut at the waist.

Trion retreated close to the edge of the sword like a ghost, not only dodged Wilps' sword, but also made his prepared continuous attacks lose their targets.However, in this way, the Vampire Prince would never have the chance to rush to the front of the two coffins.

The power of the magic flame of the fireball technique could not last long, and the sea of ​​flames disappeared in the blink of an eye, but Trion didn't feel the slightest sense of relief, because in front of his eyes, long swords shining with fighting spirit stood upright like a forest, standing in front of him. An insurmountable moat formed between him and the two coffins.

The clanging of the armor sounded, and two death knights rushed to support after the flames disappeared.However, it was too late, and even the addition of two death knights who had reached the level of high-ranking knights would only slightly delay the imminent defeat.

The corner of Trien's mouth twitched a few times, and he cast a look of deep hatred towards Li Wei in the crowd.

"Levi? Ston... I will remember you, always." Trien said softly, but the tone seemed to engrave every word in his heart, "I will not let go of a person who has repeatedly frustrated me. Those who planned the plan, the time for revenge will not be too long."

"Evil accuser, do you think you can escape from here?" Lord Cedric took a step forward, and the battle ax in his hand was shining with cold white vindictive light. "Taste the taste of this axe. It will split your rotten head very neatly."

"Keep your axe, ephemeral species." The corner of Trien's mouth twitched, and the thin purple thorn sword shook in front of him, hissing like an evil snake letter. "I will let you taste the taste of despair, and then the ax will come in handy." The blood-sucking prince assured the Lord, "but not now, but when I come back again."

Then his body fell back as if weightless, and the scarlet cloak flew behind him like giant wings flying in the sky.Lord Cedric roared and rushed forward, but was blocked by two long black swords.

"Go away!" Lord Cedric roared, swinging his tomahawk.

The only two remaining death knights stood there firmly, one pitch-black long sword blocked the tomahawk, and the other took advantage of the gap to slash through.

Lord Cedric blocked it with his hand, and there was a loud clang, and after several clashes between the tomahawk and the long sword, he gained the upper hand.The battle ax hit the right wrist of a death knight, and the ax blade pierced through the wrist guard, muscle and bone, and severed the death knight's arm.Hissing, the death knight lunged forward, trying to grab the ax that Cedric hadn't had time to give his companion a chance.

The long sword that was burning with fiery red dou qi slashed off the death knight's head horizontally, and Wilps had already arrived.

Ordinary people whose heads were cut off must die on the spot, but for these death knights who are no longer alive, the injury is not fatal, it's just the loss of vision.The black-armored undead monster staggered and wanted to retrieve his head, but tripped on the ground. The other knights took the opportunity to rush forward, and sword lights fell like rain.

However, when the last death knight fell under the sword light, Trion had already drilled out of the hole under the ceiling like a weird big bat, and disappeared into the vast night.

It was not an easy task to catch up with the vampire prince who was determined to escape. Even Sir Grace, who was always ready to shoot, did not find a chance to shoot the erratic figure like a ghost.Levi looked at the direction in which Trien left, which seemed to be in the same direction as the Shadow Assassin. "Don't chase it." Li Wei said to Wilps and others who wanted to catch up: "That guy's speed is almost like flying, unless he is sitting on the Griffon King, he can catch up."

Wilps' body stiffened obviously, "Must I sit the King of Griffins?" His face was a little blue, but he still said firmly: "Then I will sit, and I must completely get rid of Trion." This trouble."

"It's better not to go. A slippery guy like Trion, I'm afraid he has already prepared a hiding place." Li Wei persuaded, then walked to the two black coffins and squatted down, carefully observing the coffins that were located in the fireball. The center of the explosion, but the coffin of the vampire remained unscathed.

"How should this thing be opened?" the Dickway knight who came over clucked his tongue and said, "I can't even find a gap or a buckle on the side, and it looks like it's a whole."

Knight Dickwell was right, there really wasn't any gaps on the edges of the two coffins.Li Wei reached out and knocked on the top cover of the coffin. It seemed that the material was somewhat similar to black-painted wood, and it even had the unique texture of oak on it.

But being able to withstand the burning of the fireball technique is obviously not something ordinary wood can do.Li Wei frowned, he felt the feeling from the palm of his hand was very hard, and there was a biting cold air, his fingers stayed on it for a while, and they became numb from the cold.

"Hey, Lord Levi, I don't think this question is worth the headache." Lord Cedric walked over and confidently raised the huge tomahawk in his hand, "This is the best guy for dealing with wood, you guys Let's see, let's see the strength of Master Cedric!"

As he spoke, Lord Cedric swung his tomahawk with all his strength and slashed at a corner of the coffin.

There was a muffled "bang" as if a siege cone hit the city wall, which made all the knights around the coffin jump in their hearts, and some even took half a step back.The other end of the vampire's coffin jumped up, and then fell back to the ground with an even more dull bang.

Lord Cedric took a few steps back before he could stand on his feet. Although he was still holding on to the handle of the tomahawk tightly, the head of the tomahawk was gone.

Several knights found the missing part more than ten meters away, and then they all took a breath.That heavy battle ax made of fine steel had a big gap in the blade!

Everyone's eyes turned to the black coffin, trying to find the marks left by the battle axe, but they were all disappointed, because the vampire's coffin was intact, not even a single corner was damaged.

"I found it, here it is," said Sir Grace, pointing to a corner of the coffin.

There was a shallow mark where the vampire's coffin was cut. If Sir Grace's eyes were not sharp enough, he might not have been able to find it.

This thing is so hard!Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, losing their minds for a moment.

Only Li Wei continued to squat next to a coffin, carefully observing the weird blood-colored runes on the surface, his lips moved slightly, as if he was repeating something.

Wilps thought for a while, then walked to Li Wei and leaned over, saying, "Master Li Wei, why don't you send the King of Griffins to pick up Master Sugard, maybe the Master Scholar has a way..."

"It's here!" Li Wei suddenly yelled, which startled Wilps, and then he saw the young knight quickly press a few times towards the bloody runes on the surface of the coffin, and a picture suddenly appeared on the coffin. A hideous and terrifying pale human face.The muscles of that human face were completely distorted into an expression of extreme pain. Inside the mouth that was opened to the limit, four fangs unique to vampires gleamed with sharp light!
