"Annie? Do you know the meaning of this half badge?" Xue Hua blinked and asked curiously.
"Yes, Master. Anne happened to see this emblem in a historical family biography when she was helping Mr. Akara organize his book collection. Because that family left a deep impression on me at that time, I kept remembering it." Anne
He nodded and answered seriously.
"Then tell me quickly, what does this badge represent? Is it a family crest?" Xue Hua asked quickly. Anne's information came too timely. This badge was engraved on the highest ceiling of the entire castle using a very special technique.
On that tower.
Obviously, this coat of arms is very important to the owner of this castle.
Maybe we can find out what exactly wiped out his insect mother and insect swarm.
"Yes, this coat of arms is a family emblem. As for what it represents...Master, you should know the countess, right?" Anne nodded, and then a look of horror slowly appeared on her face.
"Of course I do. Girl, you're not going to tell me that the countess is locked up there, are you? Shouldn't the countess's tower be in the black wasteland? And with that kind of thing, how could it be possible to eliminate such a large number of insect swarms?
"
Xue Hua nodded first, and then shook his head. He didn't believe anything he said. It was a countess who was imprisoned in this almost completely abandoned castle. Not to mention that this was too far from the game. Even if the countess was really
Locked here, unless the complete clone of the Countess is locked inside, it would be impossible to eliminate Naktur's insect swarm in such a short period of time.
"Oh, Master, please listen to what I have to say!" Annie said coquettishly and looked at Xue Hua angrily.
"Okay~ You say it, you say it~" Xue Hua quickly used the head-touching attack to comfort the little girl, and Funia beside her couldn't help but let out a low laugh of "puff puff"~
"Of course the person trapped here is not the countess, but this coat of arms is indeed the emblem of the legendary 'Bathory' family." Anne's face suddenly cast a shadow.
And when she mentioned the name "Bathori", Xue Hua keenly noticed that Funia's face suddenly turned pale.
"What kind of family is the Bathory family? Why do you say this family is a 'legendary' family?" Such unusual reactions from the two girls made Xue Hua feel that this matter might be quite involved, so he
Decided to ask clearly.
"The Bathory family is a family of demon-stained people!" Anne breathed softly, as if speaking these words took away a lot of energy from her.
"Why is there another devil-infected person? What is that?" Xue Hua rolled his eyes. He didn't know enough about this world, even though he had long known about the so-called "sanctuary" world and the game in his previous life.
The background world should not be exactly the same world.
But in many places, the two worlds appear eerily similar.
"The devil-stained people are different from the evil contracted ones. The evil contracted people just believe that in the confrontation between humans, heaven and hell, hell will win in the end, so what they join is actually the side they think is the winner, and from then on
From this perspective, they are just a group of speculators.
But those infected with demons are different. They all agree with the concept of hell from the bottom of their hearts, that is, they hate order, despise kindness, advocate chaos, and are happy to kill. Therefore, when the army of hell came, they almost threw themselves into the embrace of hell with joy.
He voluntarily gave up his humanity and was transformed into a demon voluntarily." Funia suddenly interrupted.
Xue Hua looked at her with a horrified expression, no, how could my Funia know this??!
"This is one of the common sense questions that the examiner must ask during the graduation examination at Camp Rogge..." Funia blinked innocently.
Okay... I'm just neurotic...
Xue Hua gave a wry smile, looked at Annie, and motioned for her to continue.
"The Bathory family was a prominent local family before the invasion of hell. In the year when the invasion of hell was about to begin, there were two children in the family. One was the eldest daughter—Elizabeth Bathory, also known as Ran.
The fallen Countess of the Devil, this Countess often did evil things when she was still a human. She drained the blood of her maids, bathed in the blood, and selected beautiful virgins from the villages and towns under her rule.
They were imprisoned in the basement, tortured, bled, and then drank their blood." Anne recited the countess' horrific past as if by endorsement.
Even Xue Hua shuddered after hearing this history.
"The Countess thought this would make her immortal, but eventually her crimes were exposed, she was put on trial, and was about to be hanged.
However, at this time, the army of hell invaded the human world. People were busy fighting against the invasion of hell. No one continued to care about the life and death of the countess. Until the Bathory family became possessed by the devil, Elizabeth Bathory also became a terrifying person.
The Countess, she escaped from her cell, returned to her deserted tower dungeon, and took the souls of her victims to hell."
"Well, the story is very exciting, but it seems to have nothing to do with our current situation?"
story and can’t extricate myself.
Especially since the story isn't that fun...
"The Bathory family later withered away in the battles of hell, and only two heirs survived. One of them was the countess, and the other was the countess' mysterious brother-Alessandro Bartoli.
Tori.”
"Elizabeth's brother is an out-and-out lunatic. His crimes are a thousand times more horrific than his sister's. It is said that he holds a human barbecue feast in the dungeon under the castle, and invites all notorious murderers and evil spirits.
He is a religious believer who requires these invited guests to torture people in exchange for the right to eat human flesh, and then he uses these techniques to torture the innocent villagers who are caught."
“His reign of terror was quickly overthrown by the people under his rule, but he himself escaped from his castle alive and disappeared without a trace. According to legend, the Bathory family sent him to an isolated place.
Hidden in the family shelter, I wanted to wait for the limelight to pass before taking him out. After that, the Bathory family was infected with demons, and all the blood descendants of the family were demonized. Elizabeth became a well-known countess, but Alex
Sandro is nowhere to be found..."
Anne insisted on finishing this historical event, and then stared at the ruins of the castle below with clear eyes, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Annie, don't tell me...the ruins of the castle down there were the so-called 'hidden refuge' of the Bathory family back then!"
Xue Hua's eyes twitched fiercely. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this was the case.
Psychic disturbance that can obscure the vision of the king insect - this is obviously a protective method used by the Bathory family to keep the sanctuary hidden.
The missing male heir of the Bathory family - This closed valley is enough to trap any creature that cannot fly or burrow, and similarly, no one from the outside can enter.
That perverted son of the Bathory family likes to play barbecue in the dungeon - all the Zerg troops are burned to death.
Well, it looks like we've found the Countess' long-lost brother...
Why do all the perverts in this world appear in groups?
Now there is one last question, what level of monster is the perverted brother in this castle?
To be able to kill hundreds of insect swarms and one insect mother so easily is something that only a level 60 creature can do.
But the problem is, the Bathory family are demon-possessed, so they should all have turned into demons.
They are not evil ones. They can go wherever they want in the first world?
Now that they have become demons, they must withstand the counterattack of this world. If they stay in the first world, their power will only become weaker and weaker.
In other words, this guy should have turned into a monster, so he shouldn't be able to stay in the first world for a long time.
For monster projections of level 60, only a few dark gold boss monsters in Harrogath in the first world can reach this level, but that is because they are close to the World Stone and the power of monster projections becomes stronger.
But this place is at least 108,000 miles away from Harrogas. Even if the projection of the three demon gods comes here, the level will never exceed level 30.
Otherwise, how could the projection of Sister An, one of the Four Demon Kings of Hell, be so easily pushed around by a group of professionals of more than ten levels?
Therefore, the guy in the castle is probably not a projection at all!
