Chapter 2171: Vampire Secret Method

Emilia became even more excited:

"Okay! I want to pick up shells, and conch shells, and go fishing! Oh, can Little Liana go with us when the time comes? I want to ride it and fly over the sea. It has never seen an ocean that hasn't been frozen."

St. Byron's is located on the great ice sheet in the far north. In fact, its location is very close to the sea area known as the "Arctic Ice Sea," but that sea area only thaws for two months a year, and there are floating ice everywhere, so it is still very different from the ocean in Moon Bay.

"I'll find a way when the time comes. Don't think I'm nagging, I'll emphasize it again. You should pay attention to the things around you these days. If there is anything wrong, tell me immediately. If I don't appear, tell Countess Belindell immediately, okay?"

Xia De asked again, and the elf girl nodded again, and carefully hid her little thoughts.

After settling Emilia, Xia De also told Miss Belindell to pay attention to whether there were any abnormal phenomena around the manor in the past few days. Only then did he say goodbye to them. Of course, Little Mia was temporarily left by Xia De at the Belindell Manor, letting Emilia take care of it. This was on one hand to let Emilia know that he would come back in the evening, and on the other hand, he hoped that the elf girl and the little unicorn would have a "familiar cat" to accompany them in a strange place and wouldn't feel so lonely.

【Really have means.】

"She" said gently in his ear.

On this Sunday afternoon, the meeting place between Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt was still the Spider Hotel, but before entering the door, the chickens kept in the hotel yard stared at Xia De for some reason and followed behind his feet for a long way, and only left after he entered the door.

Xia De told Mr. Bernhardt, who had arrived a step earlier, about this incident. The latter waved his hand and didn't pay attention to Xia De's topic. It could be seen that he was much more haggard than when the two last met half a week ago. Xia De guessed that his investigation was not going well:

"Is the source of the blood of the mixed-blood monster in the sewer related to Willendale City?"

While asking, he looked at the other people in the hotel. On Sunday afternoon, even in this worst drinking place in the slums, there were quite a few people. Of course, most people came here just to kill time, and most of them played cards.

"Irrelevant, the same clan and the Great Elder in Willendale have helped me verify it."

Mr. Bernhardt shook his head, and his face became even gloomier:

"This shows that there is indeed a clan member in Moon Bay who betrayed the sect. Using our bloodline to make monsters is a great blasphemy for vampires. However, the situation is tense now, and there are rumors that something big is going to happen in Moon Bay. Willendale cannot send people to investigate here for the time being. So the sect gave me this task..."

He laughed dryly:

"Not only did they grant me a generous action fund, but they also sent me several good relic weapons. In fact, I was already investigating this matter, and I wouldn't have given up even without these. Since the sect attaches so much importance to it, it only shows that this matter must not be small."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, we have to investigate it. Now that we have extra support, it can be considered a good thing. Then, is there any progress in the investigation of Moon Bay?"

Xia De asked again, and Mr. Bernhardt sighed long, as if he wanted to spit out the sullen air in his heart, and then picked up the wine glass and took a sip:

"At least I confirmed that Ptolemy definitely has nothing to do with this matter. I won't go into detail about what method I used, but I can be sure that he is not involved. In the past half week, I have relied on my connections in the local area to visit many local clan members and roughly circled the candidates who might cooperate with the 【Dragon Feast Sect】."

It's not that Mr. Bernhardt's efficiency is high to circle candidates in half a week, but because there are not many vampires who meet the bloodline requirements.

"Will there be any omissions?"

Xia De continued to ask, and Mr. Bernhardt nodded helplessly:

"Of course there will be. This is just the first step of screening. But I won't visit them today. With the support of the sect, I can use the identity of the sect to test those suspects first. When the target is basically determined, I will ask you to take a trip with me. If there is any danger, I might not be able to beat them."

Although he is also a seven-ring, he knows very well that Xia De across the table might be able to defeat him with one hand.

"No problem, then do you have time tonight? I want to capture that vampire monster. The plan has been formulated, it just depends on whether our bait can play a role."

"No problem."

Mr. Bernhardt picked up the wine glass and touched it with Xia De, sighing lightly:

"In the end, I really got involved in the vortex of trouble."

The information about the vampire monster was provided by Miss Belindell. The detailed information Xia De currently has is the general area where the monster is active, and that thing likes the blood of virgins under 25 who are drunk.

When eating lunch at the Belindell Manor at noon, Xia De also mentioned this to the witch, so she divined it and thought that Xia De's action tonight would likely have some gains.

Therefore, Xia De formulated a simple bait plan, and the bait was naturally "drunk virgins under 25." Such girls are very easy to find in the Belindell Manor, because the Countess's age does not meet the requirements, so she recommended her apprentice and maid-in-chief Miss Matilda to assist Xia De.

It's just that this suggestion was also rejected by Xia De. The Church is also investigating this matter, so he doesn't want anyone from the Belindell Manor to participate in this matter. Therefore, after getting Mr. Bernhardt's reply to act together at the Spider Hotel in the afternoon, and learning a wonderful vampire secret method, he returned to the Belindell Manor in the evening and only asked the witch for blood that met the requirements.

"So, you want to dress as a woman, carry those blood, and walk around Moon Bay in the appearance of a girl tonight?"

At the dinner table, the Countess asked Xia De curiously. Xia De thought of the 【Transformation Ring】, and Emilia's pointed ears moved, looking at Xia De curiously. Xia De shook his head immediately:

"Of course not, I don't have that strange hobby. My vampire friend can make the smell of blood emanating from one person exactly the same as another. I plan to use this method to stain those blood on my body, and then I will use illusion to disguise myself."

"But that monster, wouldn't it be suspicious?"

Emilia asked curiously. Xia De didn't hide this from her.

"It doesn't matter, my vampire friend added some 'ingredients' to the blood, which can make that monster lose its mind and want to suck blood as soon as it smells the smell. This is like..."

Xia De looked around and wanted to give an example, and then saw Little Mia:

"Like the effect of catnip on cats."

So the ladies nodded to show understanding, and Xia De thought that Little Mia seemed to have never seen catnip.

After dinner, Xia De hurried to the morgue in the sewer at the end of Spider Alley, and with the help of Mr. Ptolemy Albert and Mr. Bernhardt, helped Xia De stain the tempting blood smell.

The process of the ritual is very simple, but for Xia De, it is quite troublesome. Because he needs to lie in a stone platform with a human-shaped groove wearing simple clothes, and the potion prepared from "drunk virgin blood" is poured into the groove by the two vampires until Xia De is completely submerged.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why a small bottle of blood was made into a large bucket of blood was because of extra chicken blood. And what was the stone platform with a human-shaped groove originally used for... The coroner wearing a hood kindly suggested that Xia De not ask:

"This is an antique I bought, related to some ancient criminal laws."

In short, Xia De held his breath for five minutes while submerged in blood, during which the ritual symbols engraved on the stone platform with blood were lit up in turn, until the blood that submerged Xia De also began to emit scarlet light. The temperature of the blood turned from cold to hot, and then dropped to a low temperature that seemed to be freezing.

The sound of Mr. Bernhardt and coroner Mr. Albert chanting incantations became very strange because of the isolation of the liquid. And it was only after receiving the "dong dong dong~" knocking signal that Xia De sat up from the stone platform, panting heavily and wiping the red liquid on his face:

"I said this ritual is a bit too exaggerated, I have never used a ritual that requires so much blood."

"The monster's sense of smell is very sensitive, and we don't want the blood smell of your heels or something to reveal that you are a male because of a negligence."

Mr. Bernhardt joked on the side, and the coroner gave Xia De a wet towel stained with special potion to let him wipe the liquid on his body.

"But do I really have the 'virgin blood smell' now? Why didn't I smell it."

He tried to twitch his nose, and then was choked by the bloody smell and coughed a few times.

"This is not a smell that a human nose can smell, but this smell is quite obvious to both of us. To give an inappropriate example, you are now simply like spraying the highest-grade ladies' perfume,"

Mr. Bernhardt said, and Mr. Albert looked at Xia De up and down:

"Although we trust your illusion very much, to be on the safe side, I suggest you'd better drink some wine to keep yourself slightly drunk."

Xia De hesitated:

"With my physical fitness, I can hardly imagine how I can get drunk... Well, I will try to control myself. Speaking of which, I have never been drunk in my life."

This sentence of the Outlander made the two vampires very surprised, and the coroner asked:

"Are you naturally good at drinking?"

"No, I don't like drinking very much, and even if I drink, I am very cautious, so I have never been drunk."

So the vampire coroner expressed his reverence without hesitation:

"If those drunkards who died on the street, fell to death, and fought with others had your idea, my daily work would be several times easier." ===== CHAPTER 2172 =====
