We're Already In Close Combat And You Still Say You're A Mage?

After putting away the supplies exchanged from the prestige store, Xu Bai took another look at the changed main quest prompts, walked towards the Duke sitting on the steps of the palace, and asked:

“Have you ever heard of, ‘Sleeping Place’? "

"I've heard of it. I heard of this place when I was still in the Purifying Thorn family."

The Duke looked a little lonely, recalling some bad memories in his mind.

"It is said that the "resting place" is in the deepest part of the Holy City of Circus, the largest underground city of the vampires. "

"However, for some unknown reason, the Holy City has been abandoned for a long time."

"Are you looking for a "resting place"? I can take you to the Holy City. I have been there once and saw the deserted Holy City. "

"Thank you."

Seeing the Duke's somewhat downcast expression, Xu Bai didn't say anything more and just thanked him.

...

After a while, the two of them climbed along the stone wall of the underground space with their bare hands to the high passage where Xu Bai came from, and walked in.

With their physical fitness, climbing this height is no problem.

Soon, they walked out of the forked road with the murals and came to the original three-way intersection.

Here, the Duke pointed to two other forks in the road.

"After entering any underground city from these two forks, you can go to the holy city of Kirkstick through the fast passage built by the vampires in the underground city that connects the entire underground vampire city in the twilight zone."

"If I remember correctly, I looked in the crystal ball at that time and found that several of your companions took these two paths to enter the two dungeons for investigation, right?"

"I'm afraid I have to tell you some bad news."

continued the Duke.

"Your companions, even if they are not discovered by the vampires in the dungeon during the investigation, will be secretly executed after returning to the Hunter's Guild. The reason is that you know that the current Hunter's Guild is just a tool for the five major families of the vampire to eliminate heretics within the race. "

After listening to the Duke's words, the somewhat ferocious face of "The Great Hunter" Osler appeared in Xu Bai's mind.

He shook his head.

"Not really a companion, just an acquaintance whom I've met a few times at most."

He was referring to Osler.

As for the others, he was completely unfamiliar with them.

"Okay, there may be another battle in a while. If I can't find the location of the fast lane in time, it's all up to you."

Hearing what Xu Bai said, the Duke shrugged, picked up the black sword in his hand, put it on his shoulder, and took the lead into the middle fork in the road.

Xu Bai followed closely behind.

...

Not long after, the two walked straight out of this fork in the road and arrived in front of an underground city.

In the center of the city is a huge Gothic castle with a trapezoidal spire.

This castle is nearly three hundred meters high, and its entire body has only two colors: crimson blood and pitch-black black.

At the top of the castle, four slightly shorter spiers surround a huge protruding spire in the middle.

On the huge spire, stood a huge ball of light that emitted a faint red light, like a blood moon, covering the underground city with a red veil.

At the same time, there are exaggerated and numerous reliefs carved on the spire at the top of the castle and on the outer walls.

The images of these reliefs are usually scenes of ferocious vampires eating human beings.

Below the castle, the style of the painting changes suddenly, and many low, shabby stone houses appear around it.

The walls and roofs of these houses are simply piled up with stones, like an upside-down bowl on the ground.

These low stone houses are in sharp contrast to the huge and exaggerated Gothic castle in the center of the city.

There is no doubt that the huge Gothic building in the center of this underground city is where the vampires live.

The low and dilapidated houses below, like pigsties, are where the human civilians who were imprisoned by the vampires for blood sacrifices lived.

On the right side of the city, there is also a spire-shaped building erected.

The architectural style of the spire is somewhat similar to the huge Gothic castle in the center of the city, with many exaggerated reliefs carved on the building.

Surrounded by a number of low stone houses, this spire, like the castle, also looks particularly abrupt.

This vampire city has no walls or gates.

After Xu Bai and the Duke walked out of the underground passage, they could see the whole city.

Not far from the exit of the passage, there were only a few vampire guards standing there.

Quan should be the gatekeeper.

There is a wooden shelf behind them, and on the shelf hangs a bronze bell used to report messages.

At this time, they had discovered Xu Bai and the Duke who had just walked out of the underground passage.

However, after seeing the two people, these vampire guards behaved uncharacteristically. They did not attack the two people, but kept trembling and retreating.

Obviously, Xu Bai's vicious reputation in the battle just now has spread throughout this underground city.

Perhaps, these vampires will also give him some rubbish nicknames such as "Spear Death God" and "Vampire Killer".

...

After seeing Xu Bai and the Duke holding weapons in their hands, several vampire guards immediately retreated.

At the same time, they watched their every move nervously.

Xu Bai quickly rushed forward, trying to silence these vampire guards and not give them a chance to raise the alarm.

Killing all the enemies who find you while infiltrating means you are not exposed.

The Duke followed Xu Bai and looked around, looking for the entrance to the fast lane in the city.

The architectural style of the vampires is also the same, and the Duke has used the fast lane many times before.

Now, he is looking for similar buildings in the city.

Soon, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward, running towards Xu Bai

At this moment, something unexpected happened ahead.

I saw a vampire guard running back quickly, trying to ring the bronze bell behind him to sound the alarm.

Seeing this, Xu Bai immediately raised his hand. As soon as the ice-blue light lit up in his hand, he was suddenly pressed down by the Duke who rushed up from behind.

"Don't worry about them. The spire on the right side of the city is the entrance to the fast track. We just need to enter before they react."

"They wouldn't have guessed that we were going to the Holy City. After all, it has been deserted for a long time."

With that said, the Duke took the lead and rushed to the right along the edge of the city.

Hearing this, Xu Bai gave up the idea of ​​killing the vampire guard and turned around to follow the Duke.

...

At the speed of the two of them, they quickly arrived in front of the minaret building.

The Duke kicked open the door and walked in first.

Xu Bai followed closely behind.

After entering, the sound of water flowing could be heard.

Xu Bai discovered that this tower was built on an underground river.

And the turbulent water in the underground river does not know where it is flowing.

"Here, take this."

After entering, the Duke took down a flat brown leather object from the wall inside the minaret and handed it to Xu Bai.

Special, he pointed to a nearby stone slide extending into the underground river from the other side of the minaret entrance.

"This is a human kayak. Blow it up, put it in the slide on the side, then lie down in it, slide into the underground river, and follow me."

With that said, the Duke untied the air vent of the kayak, puffed up his cheeks and blew air into the kayak regardless of appearance.

He had just taken two puffs when Xu Bai's voice sounded beside him.

"I'm already fine. Do you want me to help you?"

The Duke looked back in surprise and found that Xu Bai was holding the inflated kayak in his hands.

When Xu Bai heard the Duke say that this was a human kayak, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, he relied on his talent "Elemental Apostle" and his keen perception of natural elements to mobilize the wind element in the surrounding space at the cost of consuming a little mana.

Let these mindless wind elements do the work for them, blowing this man's kayak up.

...

Seeing that Xu Bai had finished playing, the Duke was not polite and directly handed the human kayak, which was still shriveled in his hand, to Xu Bai.

I saw a flash of green light in Xu Bai's hand, and an invisible air flow poured into the kayak, filling it up.

"Let's go."

Xu Bai returned the kayak to the Duke and motioned for him to take the lead.

After taking the kayak, the Duke turned around, put the inflated kayak into the slide on the other side of the spire entrance, and lay down in it.

With a swish, he followed the slide and entered the underground river. Driven by the rapid current of the underground river, he drifted away into the distance.

Xu Bai followed the Duke's example and also entered the underground river, drifting away into the distance.
