Chapter 6 Vampire Town (3)

Doyle, who was snatching the door, walked aimlessly on the street, and the half-elf's words made him shaken a lot...

When my mother and grandfather were quarreling with her grandfather, she couldn't live without the man named Melville. Doyle laughed at her weakness. She used to shout to teach the man who had only the title of "father", but now she really saw her, but she didn't feel much hatred in her heart. What she covered up in anger was a little expectation and desire...

Does that person know my existence? Is it because he already knows that I am the descendant he has never met?

After walking around the town, Doyle's chaotic head was able to calm down. Looking at the wall that was five people high, a trace of doubt flashed through his heart.

This height is far beyond the configuration of ordinary villages and towns. The town is full of houses and there is no reserved for planting fruits, vegetables and food.

In order to ensure a certain degree of self-sufficiency when siege the undead, all human settlements will reserve enough open space within the high walls. Even if this town can collect enough rent for residents' food from past business travelers, the supplies will still have to rely on external supplies. If the business road is cut off, how will they support the people in the town?

Just as he was thinking, footsteps came not far away, Doyle restrained his breath and pressed against the wall without moving. His whole body merged with the night. He didn't get close to him and carefully distinguished him, and he would only think that he was a shadow.

The teasing of men and women from far to near, followed by the slight sound of the key turning, and the voice blocked with the closed door.

Even in the relatively wealthy and safe Xindu, there are still women who are betrayal for food and money. Doyle is not unfamiliar with him. He often witnessed them in the urban areas where middle and lower classes live. Logically, he should not be surprised. But since leaving the hotel, this is the ninth town he met. Without exception, all of them are single women with foreign business travelers. Except for the militia at the gate of the city and the bartenders in the hotel, he did not see any other male surnames. The ratio of men and women in the town is seriously malfunctioning.

Doyle turned around and walked towards the hotel, preparing to report the situation to the great priest Alicina. He didn't expect that just turned a corner, he was stopped by a figure emerging from the darkness.

"Do you need special services?" In late spring, the female surnamed wearing exposed clothes stood in front of Doyle and asked in an explicit and provocative tone.

"Go away, I'm not interested." Doyle scolded.

"Don't do this, a handsome guy like you can do it for free~" The woman hooked Doyle's wrist and dragged him into a nearby house with a half-open door.

Doyle struggled for a few times but couldn't break free. He was alert at the moment. Even if he was not a power type, the power of the Dawn-level knight was not something that ordinary village women could compete with...

The light footnote appeared behind him, and Doyle glanced back at the black wolf, the druid beside the man!

"Woo——" The black wolf grinned and made a low warning sound.

The woman hurriedly let go and ran back into the house.

"He wants to see you." In the absence of anyone, Jafar no longer disguised himself as an ordinary wolf and conveyed Link's instructions to return to Doyle. He was worried that the knight, who was still in the rebellious period, deliberately sang a counter-topic, and added the Grand Priest and gave the same order.

When Doyle heard the druid say that Alicina's position, he frowned and took a lot of self-control to curb the anger that rose in his heart.

Alicena actually exposed her identity so easily. Did she forget the command of the High Priest? Or did she think that guy was my father, so she deliberately exposed his identity in exchange for his trust? Tsk~ If he was so easy to convince, how could my mother go back to Krenberg alone? How could I bear the name of an illegitimate son?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The word ‘trap’ made Alicena look dark: “Tell it clearly!”

"Doyle was sent to the Chenxi headquarters in Xindu and never returned to Krenberg again, right?" The opponent was Shuanghan, and Link would not use the thinking mode of ordinary people to speculate. That was when he was in his teens, he set up a series of poisonous schemes to frame his companions and became a conspirator of the lich.

"You mean...Winny could be tricked by the undead, or even she is dead?" Orlando thought so.

"It's probably the former, as a key figure, she won't die easily." Link said his guess, "Winnie, Duke Krenberg, and now returning Doyle, the direct lines of the Doyle family are all gathered together. As long as they are all eliminated, the spy placed by the Lich King next to the Duke is the only blood heir, and can break through the barrier of the guardian land without any effort."

"The heir...how can you be sure that the spy must be a woman? And, why do you use a 'spy' instead of a 'believers'?" Alicina understood the hint in Link's words.

"First of all, only women can meet the conditions of inheriting the bloodline of the Doyle family in the short term. Secondly, even if the Duke has other illegitimate sons or sub-branches, they must have been eliminated in the previous battle for power. Finally, believers will be exposed. The Lich King took great pains to play such a big game of chess, and he will not make a mistake in such a critical place."

Orlando didn't say anything, but was really surprised.

He had never told Link about Melville and Winnie's past, and even had the letters hidden. He actually inferred so much with the pitiful little information? Or... to know the inside story through God's knowledge?

"What you said is just personal guess." Alicina said this, but she was already half convinced. Especially the bloodline, according to the eyeliner inserted in Krenberg, the current Duke Herbert had a mistress who had followed him for many years and was pregnant a month ago. Coincidentally, both of the Duke's sons died in the overlapping area of ​​the territory with the Wood Elf half a year ago, which is really suspicious.

Link shrugged and said indifferently, "You can think I'm an alarmist."

At the same time, in his consciousness, Lorelai asked Link how he saw through this Shuanghan’s conspiracy?

[I have fought with it in the exile place and know that guy's cunning and scheming, and he often plays without reason. Not only this speculation of "smacking all in one place", I even suspect that Doyle's birth was also a conspiracy of Shuanghan.]

[It is indeed the lich's style of action.] Link's answer was recognized by Lorelai. Although she did not have direct contact with Shuanghan, she also learned through believers that the deeds of the number one confidant under the command of the god of death were almost the same as what Link said. It was under its command that the undead ended the endless civil war between the leaders and unified it into the Immortal Empire.

But... can a legendary undead leader really do this? Lorelai is in doubt.

Following Jafar back to the hotel, Doyle noticed that the situation on the first floor was a little different from when he left. The table was already quite empty, and the rest, including Uk who was inquiring about the news, were drunk. Several waitresses worked together to send them back to their respective rooms one by one, and a small number left directly with some women. The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

The wolf sniffed his nose and sniffed hard, and trotted up the stairs. Worried about the merchant, Doyle took Uk from one of the waitresses and drove him to the second floor. As soon as he entered the guest room where Link and the others were, he could clearly feel the atmosphere inside the house and everyone had serious expressions.

Putting the drunk Uk on the bed, Doyle told the few doubts he had found, and Jafar added that it smelled a strong smell of blood in a warehouse in a remote corner of the town.

"The smell of blood?" Link immediately remembered the news that Uk heard from the bartender, "There are many people who died of blood loss and death from outside the country, all male surnames..."

Orlando followed his words and speculated, "Is it a vampire?"

"The blood slave is not an undead, it is difficult to find among ordinary people." Alicina nodded and agreed. There are too many weird places in this town, so it is hard not to make people suspicious.

"What are you going to do next? Do it separately? Or do it directly attack the enemy's lair?"

"Mr. Harvey hasn't answered my previous proposal yet." Before investigating the weirdness of the town, Alicina wanted to determine Doyle's father's position first.

Harvey Melville's surname? It would be fine if Orlando didn't mention it, but there was not even the union's adventurers register. How did the great priest know? She specifically mentioned this surname. Does Melville's origin have other secrets? Link glanced at the half-elves beside him without a trace, and his eyes flashed a little.

Orlando claims to be Melville's friend, and even knows the private matters of having an illegitimate child. He must know Melville's background.

Recalling the ancestral teachings that Orlando had previously said: two strict bans on not leaving Befest or joining the army and participating in politics, Link narrowed his eyes: "I have been hiding my identity for so many years, but you still know it. It seems that the information of the Chenxi Sect is not inferior to that of a spider web."

Orlando's forehead began to sweat. Did Link really know or was it blind? Don't say it was wrong, otherwise he would have failed.

Doyle looked at Link with a suspicious look on his face, and then at Alicina, not understanding what the two of them were talking about.

"It was just a guess, after all, there was no real evidence. You can see the Druid of the Pillar of the Earth following you, and the largest mystery in the sect in hundreds of years has a definite answer." Alicina held her hands in her chest and nodded slightly at Link. This was the highest greeting that the noble priests could give to mortals outside the gods. Doyle, who knew this, changed her face and turned to stare at the cognitive "father".

Isn’t it just a raid who is hiding in the mountains and fields? What kind of identity does he have? Can the No. 3 Grand Priest in the Chenxi Sect use such high-level etiquette?

Exiled nobles? Descendants of the royal family?

"Melville Harvey inherited only the human blood of Befest. From the moment he was disqualified, he was no longer a son of nature." Link's answer made Orlando breathe a sigh of relief, and then, the heart he had just let go of was raised again.
