Liz passed through Alina, who was still trembling with fear.
Then, the eldest lady looked at Vivian, who had a "Don't come over" expression in front of her, and showed a puzzled expression.
"Huh? What's wrong, Vivian? Is it because you're not used to living in the guest room and didn't have any rest last night?"
Liz's voice was concerned, and she even took a few steps closer, wanting to touch the little girl's forehead with her hand.
After all, she witnessed the whole process, Vivian's performance outside the city yesterday, and was very concerned about Vivian's physical condition.
On the other side, there was only one person left at the scene.
Wha...what?
Did she hear it correctly?
This Earl, who is known as an arrogant and overbearing young lady, can actually express such a gentle tone to... care for a new maid?
wrong! Wait a minute, is she really a new maid? ?
Alina tried her best to recall her encounter with Vivian, and then discovered a fact that she was unwilling to accept.
It seemed that from beginning to end, the other party never admitted that she was a new maid, it was all her own wishful thinking.
Then... then...
For example, if this guy named..."Vivian" is not a new maid, then her true identity is...
His eyes went dark.
In the guest room, Miss Liz's attitude was even more gentle. Whenever she talked about "that adult" before, the little girl would always show a dodgey look.
Alina is not stupid.
All kinds of clues seemed to be connected in series at this moment.
No...
No!
Alina shouted crazily in her heart, she was unwilling to accept the answer that she could already guess.
Unfortunately...
Reality is always cruel.
Vivian, who was on the other side, shook her head as if she had given up struggling, indicating that there was nothing wrong with her body.
As expected, when Liz felt at ease, she inevitably finally opened up her chat box.
The earl's daughter was extremely excited and took the initiative to take the little girl's hand.
"Vivian! Your performance outside the city yesterday was really... so... I can't even describe it in words!"
"Especially when you were fighting that female monster leader, well... you were so handsome!! However, this also made me a little confused. I remember you said that you were a summoner? I have just started, and I don’t really understand it. Does your profession involve melee combat like a warrior?”
"Oh! And there's more! The black wolf that appeared at the end and was able to knock such a big bone dragon apart and eat the female leader of the monsters in one bite is the one you mentioned before. Your name is Xiao Hei. Summoned beast?"
Liz has no image of a young lady, she just looks like an ordinary girl talking with her best friend about the plot of last night's popular movie.
Oh, the only thing that might be unusual is that the best friend in front of her is the heroine of this movie.
The earl's daughter made several exaggerated gestures with her hands in front of her to describe the appearance of the dark giant wolf that Liao Zixuan transformed into at that time.
Then she asked finally, full of expectation and a little nervously:
"That little Hei... Is Little Hei by your side now? You still remember the agreement we made, right? You agreed to let me, Kangkang Xiaohei... and give me a hug! Just a moment, no , Two times is enough...Three times! Just three times!"
Just when this eldest lady looked excited and seemed to have endless words to say, she spat out a series of words like cannonballs...
Squeak!
Vivian was about to open the door to the room, but she took the initiative to reveal a small crack.
Then, a wolf cub with messy hair could be seen at a glance, it was a wolf cub that had just woken up from the den. It showed its little tiger teeth, opened its mouth wide and let out a very cute and cute breath, while walking leisurely from the room. I came out to see why it was so noisy outside.
Well, let me see.
Liao Zixuan looked around at the three people present outside the door.
Vivian, my little girl, but...what's with this hopeless expression on her face?
Liz, the future Blood Countess, has some of the most tragic plots in the game... Hiss! Wait a moment! Even if Vivian told me how you met last night, what kind of trouble are you going to make when you act like a fan meeting an idol?
Forget it.
Liao Zixuan is already used to the scumbag Vivian.
He finally looked at the third person present.
A...eh?
What about the maid who seems to have a gloomy temperament exuding "I really want to die, God of Fire, please drop a meteorite and kill me!"?
Huh?
WTF!
Just wait a minute!
Because the maid lowered her head so low that her face was buried in the ground, Liao Zixuan didn't recognize her at first.
But when he habitually used the in-game detection to glance at the other party.
Alina?
This name... seems familiar?
Liao Zixuan was immediately excited. After all, there were not many NPCs with names and surnames. There were even fewer NPCs whose names he could remember, even if they only had a vague impression.
I quickly searched the memory bank in my mind.
Finally, after finding a certain fragment that was buried in a small corner, the little wolf cub showed an expression of "It turns out to be this guy."
Alina.
wrong! No wonder it just sounds familiar.
After all, the one that is more widely known and talked about by players is her other name.
Right now...
Test subject...K421!
As the opening BOSS on the first floor of the "Blood Earl's Castle" copy, one of the reasons why she leaves a deep impression on players is the mechanism of this BOSS.
Experimental subject K421's attributes are actually not very strong, and she can even be said to be ranked last among the bosses. However, she has an extremely abnormal passive skill, which seems to be called... Oh, yes, it is an artificial skill called [Eye of Revelation]. talent.
The official skill description is probably equivalent to providing insight into the future and giving inspiration.
But the effect that actually corresponds to the game is that almost all the non-directional skills of the players fail, and they cannot hit the opponent at all. To put it simply, it is an official script that comes with it and cannot be installed!
Therefore, if you wanted to conquer the "Blood Earl's Castle" dungeon, the first condition was that your team must have directional and sure-hit skills, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to enter the gate.
As for the second one, it is the things that players reveal after killing K422. There are no equipment, props, skill books, etc. that would be dropped by a normal BOSS.
Players can only get some weird gadgets from K421, such as dressing mirrors, handkerchiefs, balm, etc.
On the forum at that time, there was a friend who did not believe in evil. He felt that there was definitely something fishy in this, so he swiped the BOSS almost a hundred times.
It is said that this guy had a dream that night. When the experimental subject K421 died, he said "for...for..." before his death. He could not even say "why", one of the top ten classic lines of BOSS. All, such intermittent sounds.
After paying so much, this guy finally discovered that among K421's drops, the rarest thing was just a broken diary, which seemed to record the trivial matters of K421 as the head maid of the castle, and when she was still an ordinary maid, An incredibly good friend I made.
Apart from that, there is nothing, not even the task can be triggered.
The reason why Liao Zixuan has an impression of Alina is because of this brother's defense-breaking post and the screenshot of the prop that fell out of K421 called "Alina's Diary" posted by the other party. .
If it weren't for this guy, it's very likely that in the end, the players wouldn't know the real name of the test subject K421, or that he was actually the head maid in this castle.
Ending the memories and returning to the present reality.
so...
good!
Well done, Vivian!
Because the entire 1.0 version is the early stage of the game's launch, there are not many dungeons that can be called classics. The previous "Climbing the Vulcan Tower" is one, and the current "Blood Earl's Castle" is also among them.
There are four floors in the entire copy, corresponding to four bosses.
"Experimental Subject K421", "Heartless Butler", "Fallen Human Alchemist", and finally..."Experimental Subject K423", also known as..."Blood Countess".
I declare!
Vivian has managed, beautifully...all of it! I have made friends with all the four future bosses here without missing a beat!
Not bad.
It seems that she is already a mature NPC and knows how to find roles for herself and add plot points!
Just when Liao Zixuan was still complaining in his heart, a pair of small hands from the person he was complaining about made his body leave the ground.
"Come on, Liz."
After Vivian picked up the little wolf cub, she handed him to the earl's daughter opposite.
As a result, before Liao Zixuan could do anything, the eldest lady opposite became extremely nervous. She was a typical strong-mouthed king. She had been shouting that she wanted to give a hug before. When she was about to do it, Liz looked at the little wolf. Damn it, even retreated.
As a noble, she naturally received the best education and had read all kinds of books. Therefore, Liz knew very well that just because she could change the size of her body at will, the bloodline of the little wolf monster in front of her was very high. Never low.
Coupled with its performance yesterday, two words that awed countless people were ready to come out in Liz's mind... Extraordinary!
Even if the strength is not extraordinary, it is still a monster with extraordinary bloodline!
When this kind of monster grows, according to historical records in books, it is a terrifying existence that can destroy a human city with one head!
"Yes... or forget it, I feel like it is very reluctant."
"What if it doesn't like me..."
Liz's delicate body trembled, and she quickly recalled in her mind that yesterday, the seemingly harmless little wolf cub in Vivian's hands turned into a dark giant wolf, and then swallowed a large living person in one mouthful. picture.
But at this time, the voice from the little girl interrupted.
"It's okay, no, I'm not sure if it were someone else, but as for Liz... I believe Xiao Hei will like you very much."
Vivian gave the earl's daughter a very sure "don't worry" look.
"Really...really?"
"Really, come on, if you don't believe me, try holding it."
With that said, under Liao Zixuan's eyes, Vivian put him directly into the arms of the eldest lady opposite.
?
And this is so good... Bah! How could you do this! ?
Facing Liao Zixuan's sad and angry eyes.
Then, the little girl tilted her head slightly, and conveyed something to the little wolf cub that Liz was holding in her arms with great care and without even daring to show her anger. The general meaning should be...
"Eh? Doesn't Xiao Hei like big sister very much? Did I misunderstand?"
Liao Zixuan: "..."
Damn it!
Then, the little wolf cub looked away from Vivian with a guilty conscience.
Because I have to say...
It’s so easy to feel it!
This child from a noble family is infinitely better than the common people in terms of nutrition!
Vivian: "..."
???
"Ah, by the way! I almost forgot, my father is still waiting for us over there in the restaurant! He said he has something important to tell you, it seems...about the noble dinner in two days!"
After Liz licked the wolf cub immersedly for a while, she suddenly realized the purpose of her coming to find Vivian.
"Aristocratic...dinner party?" This is another word that is very unfamiliar to the little girl.
"Yes, and this time is different from the past. After all, something as big as yesterday happened. It is said that it will be very grand. Basically, all the famous people in Huodian City will be present..."
"In short, it's very important. I don't know the details. You can ask my father again later! After all, you are one of the protagonists of this dinner!"
Vivian: "..."
After getting down to business, Liz reluctantly put the wolf cub back on the ground, and then wanted to lead the way and take Vivian to the restaurant to meet the earl and continue chatting while having breakfast.
But as soon as she took a few steps, she frowned and stopped again.
"What are you still doing here?"
Liz looked ahead and kept looking down at the ground. As a result, she blocked the corridor and saw the maid who seemed to be talking to Vivian.
"Ah!? Hug... I'm so sorry! Miss Liz!" The voice of the earl's daughter woke up the maid who was still immersed in the mood of wanting to die.
Alina quickly got out of the way.
Just when Liz saw the strange look on the maid's face and wanted to ask more questions...
"Lise! Um... let's go quickly! Don't keep the earl waiting."
Vivian's voice sounded in time, saving Alina and, in a sense, herself.
At the end of leaving, when the little girl passed by, Alina seemed to be very entangled and hesitant, but she still clenched the hem of her maid skirt with both hands and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Thank you, thank you."
"Wei..."
"Wei...Wei..."
After holding it in for a long time, she still couldn't pronounce the little girl's name in full, so Alina ran away with a face as red as if she was about to bleed.
Vivian didn't know what to say to this. She could only think of reducing the chances of them meeting each other in the future to avoid this embarrassing situation from happening again.
However.
The little wolf cub, who had just finished enjoying the brand new aristocratic version of the human-flesh wolf climbing the frame, was in a good mood and was very comfortable, but suddenly froze at the maid's last words.
hiss...
Taking a breath of cold air, his whole body trembled, and a few hairs stood on end.
because...
Wait a minute!
Alina's last words just now...do they sound familiar?
The little wolf cub immediately turned back and looked in the direction where the maid's back disappeared.
"Huh? Xiao Hei? What's wrong?" Vivian, who was heading to the restaurant to see the count, was keenly aware of Liao Zixuan's strange behavior.
The little girl quickly sent out a message of inquiry.
"It's okay, let's go." The little wolf cub shook his head and looked away.
Are you overthinking it?
Or...
For...for...with Wei...wei...?
