On the first night when he had complete control over his body, Li Ang slept very uneasily.
I had several nightmares in succession.
The content of the dream was very similar. The mother and daughter of the Di family noticed something strange about him, and the three sisters, who became ferocious in appearance, took turns, piercing his body with cold-lighting iron hooks, and hanging him in the air.
The dark red blood rushed out as if it was free, and soon formed a small river on the ground, while the mother and daughter laughed happily at the side.
He cried out and begged for mercy, but what he got in return was intensified torture.
Aqina even bathed directly in his blood, saying that it was good for the skin.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Li Ang finally settled down, but before he could sleep for long, he suddenly felt something heavy pressing on him, making him unable to breathe.
This feeling of suffocation was very uncomfortable, causing Li Ang's little sleepiness to completely dissipate, and he reluctantly opened his eyes.
Then he saw Bella crawling over him, holding his neck and sucking hard.
It was already bright outside the window.
Li Ang sighed deeply when he saw this situation. Fortunately, he was a time traveler who knew the inside story. Otherwise, if it had been someone else, he would have been frightened to death when he saw his fiancée crawling on him and sucking blood as soon as he opened his eyes.
Besides, he is not Bella's fiancé. He is clearly just a human-shaped blood bag. If this continues, he will probably be sucked into a mummified body in a short time.
At the same time, when Bella saw him waking up, she reluctantly let go of her mouth, stretched out her tongue to lick the remaining blood on her lips, and greeted Li Ang with a smile.
"Good morning darling!"
"Good morning." Leon responded calmly, reaching out to try to push Bella away from him.
After a few hard pushes, the opponent didn't move at all.
"Hehe." Bella smiled happily, and then continued to kiss and bite his face, neck, chest and other parts, saying vaguely:
"You smell so good."
"I really want to eat you into my stomach bit by bit now, so that we can be together forever!"
Listening to these weird words of love, Li Ang was almost scared to death. Fortunately, Bella was just talking and didn't really say anything.
But this was enough to wake him up. It was not enough to just survive. At the very least, he had to be able to protect himself.
Suddenly, Li Ang thought of a key figure, the Duke who sold him into the castle.
As a businessman, this person plays the role of a guide in the game. He has helped the protagonist Ethan overcome difficulties many times, and many key plot information comes from his mouth.
Paradoxically, the Duke and Aqina also have a good relationship, and they have a cooperative relationship.
Miranda, the mother goddess as the local ruler, turned a blind eye to such duplicitous behavior.
In short, he is a character with a mysterious background.
In previous lives, some gamers speculated that the Duke might be the incarnation of the fungus master (the source of the gifted mold), but Capcom (the game production company) explained that he was just an ordinary businessman.
No matter what the Duke's true identity is, Li Ang believes that he must meet this mysterious figure.
Even if he won't help you like he helps the protagonist Ethan, you can still try to buy something from him to save your life.
It would be better if we could get some information about the original identity from the Duke.
Just do what you say, and Li Ang's execution has always been good.
"Bella, my good wife, can you accompany me for a walk? I want to get familiar with the environment in which I will live in the future."
Bella was very satisfied with his title, and her eyes narrowed with joy.
"good!"
Soon, Li Ang got dressed with Bella's help and walked out of the room where he had been lying for a long time.
As an old player who has already completed two weeks of the game and Qiyun has completed it several times, he is even more familiar with the castle under his feet than Archina and her daughter.
He even knew some secret passages that the mother and daughter didn't know about.
But now he could only pretend to be dumbfounded and ask questions curiously. At the same time, he pretended to be very weak and had to be supported by Bella when he walked.
After ten minutes of waiting, one person and one insect walked less than fifty meters.
In the end, as Li Ang expected, Bella lost her patience and left him alone to play elsewhere.
Easy to handle!
After all, as a mutant who can transform into a swarm of insects at any time and has a very lively personality, it is really a torment for her to be down-to-earth and accompany Li Ang step by step.
"Bella?"
"Bella, where have you been?"
After calling several times without getting a reply, Li Ang could finally relax for a while.
He walked through the long corridor filled with art and oil paintings with ease, and went down the stairs to the first floor of the castle. He didn't forget to rummage through the cabinets along the way, and he didn't even miss the decorative vases.
Many supplies in the game are hidden in these inconspicuous places, and now is no exception.
When he arrived at the door of the merchant's room on the first floor, Li Ang already had a bunch of things in his arms.
A box of unknown type bullets.
Black powder that is likely to get wet.
Dozens of crudely made silver coins engraved with the image of the goddess Miranda.
The white crystal X3 looks very transparent.
A lot of messy stuff.
Silver coins are easy to understand and are the universal currency in the game; crystals are analogous to gems and can be used to exchange money; sundries and black powder are placed in the hands of the protagonist Ethan, which can produce bullets and even mines. Unfortunately, Leon does not have that skill.
He just collected them with the attitude of giving it a try, hoping to exchange them for something at the Duke's.
Holding this pile of things, Li Ang turned his head and looked to the side.
A few meters away was the door leading to the outside of the castle. It seemed that with just a few clicks, he could gain the freedom he dreamed of.
It's a pity that I can't push it.
There are many mutant slaves created by Archina outside the gate, and there are werewolves and living corpses wandering around in the village further away. They don't care whether Leon is the son-in-law of the Dimitrescu family, they will be beaten if they are caught. Great meal.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to leave the castle without a means of self-protection.
Taking a deep breath, Li Ang pushed open the wooden door of the merchant's room. Fortunately, nothing happened, and the Duke's fat body came into view.
Another giant whose size exceeds that of ordinary people.
The Duke may not be as tall as the Eight-foot Lady, but his width is definitely several times that of her.
The oversized suit, which could fit several cows into it, was worn like a tights, and the three buttons on the chest were so burdened that they seemed about to burst open.
The belly that cannot be covered by clothes is exposed, and there are layers of fat. It makes you feel tired even if you look at it more than once.
He held a cigar between his stubby fingers covered with all kinds of rings and puffed on it, making it impossible for people to see his true face.
"Ah——, what a rare visitor, look who is here!"
The Duke drawled, with a kind smile on his fat, oily face.
"Good day, Mr. Vladimir."
"Good day, Mr. Duke." Li Ang hid his true emotions and greeted him politely: "Just call me Li Ang."
"Okay, Mr. Li Ang." The Duke's smile became brighter and his facial features were squeezed together.
Li Ang always felt that the Duke's expression was a bit strange, but he didn't have time to delve into it, so he simply went straight to the point and explained his purpose:
"Mr. Duke, I heard from Bella that you are the biggest businessman around here."
"I want to buy something."
The Duke puffed on his cigar, and then poured another sip of wine into his mouth: "Haha, of course, you can get money if you have money, and you can exchange things for things."
“Wherever you can make money, I’ll be there!”
As he spoke, the Duke lowered his body and approached Li Ang. His huge body was like a collapsed mountain, and a terrifying sense of oppression came to his face.
"Then, Mr. Li Ang, what do you... want?"
Li Ang swallowed unconsciously and tried to stay calm: "How much are these things in my arms worth?"
The Duke did not answer, but joked: "You and your wife should apply for some pocket money."
Without waiting for Li Ang to react, he continued: "You know, no matter how useless things are, they should have their value. What do you think, Mr. Li Ang?"
After saying this, he freed up the hand holding the wine bottle and took away all the things in Li Ang's arms with a gentle grab.
Then he scattered them randomly on the few cases in front of him.
"let me see..."
"Miranda's coins, haha, sir, you can't exchange privately minted counterfeit coins for my hard currency."
"Black gunpowder that can be squeezed out of water, tsk, I have better ones here!"
"Bullets? I advise you to keep them for yourself. I'm just a businessman and I don't like to kill."
Finally, the Duke looked at the messy pile of debris with disgust that was beyond words:
"I take back what I just said, garbage should be sent to the garbage dump."
Seeing that the materials he had worked so hard to collect were reduced to worthless, Li Ang felt depressed and kept scolding the profiteers in his heart.
Co-author Ethan can sell anything, but it’s all worthless to me, right?
Should the difference in treatment be so obvious?
"But..." The Duke picked up a piece of white crystal and looked at it carefully: "This thing is of some value, I want it!"
He put away the three crystals and swept the table clean with his big, fat hands.
Then, like magic, he turned his hands and conjured four things, which were neatly placed on several tables.
"Let's pick one, Mr. Li Ang."
"Three crystals can only be exchanged for one thing?" Li Ang vaguely remembered that one crystal in the game was worth thousands of dollars.
The Duke smoked a cigar and looked at him condescendingly: "How about... you go find someone else?"
You are the only businessman in the game, who else can I find?
Li Ang suppressed the anger in his heart and focused on those four things.
A dark pistol with a bandage on the handle. It looks very heavy and should be genuine.
A bottle of liquid medicine with unknown efficacy.
A dagger with a curved blade and an elegant shape.
and, a badge with a silver chain.
The further he looked back, the heavier Li Ang's breathing became, because the latter two items had extraordinary origins.
That knife, called the "Death Flower Short Knife," was an antique inherited from the Middle Ages. The blade was coated with poisons from all over the world.
It also has another use, it is an important tool for killing Mrs. Bashiku.
The poison on the blade can suppress the lady's abnormal self-healing ability and make her body unbalanced.
Li Ang didn't know why it was in the Duke's hands, or what the Duke's intention was in taking it out, but Li Ang knew that he absolutely couldn't choose.
At least not now.
As for the last one, from the moment it appeared, Li Ang's subconscious told him that he must choose this one.
Because its full name is "Wolf School Witcher Badge".
