Chapter 1456 Barn’s Suspicion

Hao Ren took a quick look around and felt keenly that the number of people present was wrong.

Except for the witch who unfortunately died during the witcher's raid, there is one less person here.

After a brief recollection, he discovered that what was missing was the wizard who always kept his face hidden in a big hood.

"Barn got separated from us when he rushed out," said Lady Mary. "We didn't see him after we left the cemetery. Because we weren't sure how far the witcher would chase him, we didn't dare to go back and look for him rashly. , but there are secret codes left along the way, and he should be able to find them."

"Bane got separated?" Hao Ren frowned involuntarily, and his sixth sense made him vaguely feel that there might be something wrong with this matter.

And as if to confirm his sixth sense, Hesiana next to him suddenly exclaimed, "Hey! That guy still has my key!"

Lily didn't react for a moment: "Key?"

"It's the key to entering the shadow world!" Hesiana finally became anxious, scratching her head and jumping up and down, "Didn't we get attacked by the demon hunter when we were looking at the key before? The key happened to be in Barn's hand at that time. ...Why did that useless wizard get separated!"

The sixth sense in Hao Ren's heart became stronger and stronger, and that "Barn" was becoming more and more suspicious in his mind. After stacking all the coincidences together, he suddenly remembered the words that the wizard had said out of nowhere. talk.

"What is Haroun's night watch knight?" He turned to look at Hesiana. Although there was no clear reason, he always felt that the little bat spirit might know something.

Sure enough, Hesiana was immediately surprised when she heard the name: "How do you know the existence of this knighthood?"

"You really know about this organization?" Hao Ren was immediately overjoyed. A piece of information that he thought was useless now turned out to be a clue, "What does this knight order do?"

"This knighthood was eliminated many years ago. Except for a few people who have been paying attention to this place, few people know that they once existed." Hesiana didn't seem to have any idea of ​​​​keeping it secret, so she explained casually, "Haron The Night's Watch Knights were originally the guardians of this place, composed of a group of wizards and dark knights. Their mission is to protect Lord Vivian's sleeping place from being disturbed."

"Guarding Vivian?!" Hao Ren was even more surprised this time, "How can Vivian afford to hire them?"

Hesiana: "...Ahem, you do know Lady Vivian quite well..."

Hao Ren: "..."

Hesiana was embarrassed before continuing: "Indeed, the Haroon Night Watch Knights were not established by Lord Vivian personally, but were privately established by a blood noble named Harorn - after Lord Vivian After choosing this place to sleep, a well-informed dark noble came here. He rebuilt a castle here that had been abandoned by humans, and developed a territory around the castle. He and the Harroun Night Watch Knights he formed guarded here. For nearly a century, I hope to wait until the day when Lady Vivian wakes up."

Lily let out a long sigh: "Oh - so he wants to please Vivian?"

"This is normal. Among vampires who value class and lineage, being appreciated by an ancient vampire means receiving great honor and practical benefits for the entire race. However, most ancient vampires are very withdrawn and surly. It is difficult to deal with them. It is true to say that if you please someone, you often seek to defeat them. Therefore, pleasing the kind-hearted Lady Vivian has become the choice of many vampire juniors. Especially, Lady Vivian does not like to owe favors. If she knows that there is a junior who will protect her for her, There will definitely be a reward for holding the seal for a century - although she has no money, she can just write a note and hand it to any force, which is enough to make the person holding the note walk sideways. Who can be tempted by such a big thing? Can you stop it?"

"Then why did the Knights of Haroun's Night Watch get expelled?" Lady Mary next to her was also fascinated by what she heard and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the blood noble couldn't hold on anymore? Or was he killed by the demon hunter... …”

"Later, the Dark Noble's investment failed and natural and man-made disasters caused it to go bankrupt. After continuing to hold on for twenty years, the Knights of Haroon's Night Watch were disbanded because of unsustainable funds. The last Knight of Haroon was in He left this place nearly a century ago. Well, there is a house over there by the river bank, and that is where the last knight stood... Tsk, it's miserable. It is said that he has to go back with food."

In fact, Hao Ren had guessed what the truth was before Hesiana spoke. At this time, he was not surprised when the little bat spirit told him what had happened. He just sighed with a pained face: "Those unlucky guys could only read more books." They don’t want to be trapped in a place like this, and they don’t want to think about why Vivian, an amiable ancient vampire, can get so low that she has no friends. Do they really think it is so easy to please Vivian..."

"Young people are ignorant," Hesiana shrugged, "And even those who know Lady Vivian's 'power' would not have thought that her 'power' would be so powerful if they hadn't experienced it personally. It's too much. People are blindly confident and always think they can resist fate, but they don’t overestimate their own abilities.”

The little bat spirit's tone was actually quite proud, as if Vivian's destructive aura of the god of poverty was some kind of power worthy of awe!

And a group of witches have never heard of Vivian Ancesta's deeds. At this moment, they are still a marginalized group in the supernatural world, and they have no contact with big shots at Vivian's level. So after listening to Hao Ren and Hai All of Seanna's interactions were in a fog.

Hesiana didn't bother to explain to the group of witches. After sighing, she looked at Hao Ren curiously: "By the way, you haven't said anything yet, why did you suddenly mention the Knight of Haroon's Watch?"

Hao Renqu raised his fingers and rubbed his chin: "I think there's something wrong with that Barn - he was the one who told me the name of the Night Watch Knights, and after realizing that he and I were not on the same journey, he was very cautious and never mentioned it again. this matter."

"That Barn knows about the Night Watch Knights?!" Hesiana immediately narrowed her eyes, "That is to say... he is most likely coming to Lady Vivian's sleeping place! Damn it! He still has that Get the key!"

After saying this, the little bat spirit suddenly opened the bat wings behind him, with a murderous tone in his voice: "We must stop him!"

"Wait a minute," Hao Ren stopped Hesiana, "There is one more important thing before this."

"Isn't this important enough?" Hesiana's scarlet eyes stared at Hao Ren, "That wizard is going to disturb Lady Vivian's sleep! He holds the Shadow Key, and the Soulless Guards in the Shadow Castle stop him. If I can’t stop him, no matter what that guy is planning, I have to stop him!”

"You don't need to stop him. There is a high probability that Bane will die inside." Hao Ren glanced at the little bat spirit. "If my information is correct, he will run into a man who is in a violent state after entering." Vivian 'incarnation'."

He didn't directly say "evil thought body" because Hesiana didn't know about it at this time, and it was easier to understand using the word "incarnation".

"The embodiment of violent state?" Hesiana frowned, "What does that mean?"

"Have you not noticed that there is a powerful negative force lingering here? The dark noble Haron has left this place for a whole century. These things are definitely not left by him, and what about Vivian under normal circumstances? Will she release such a powerful negative force casually? If I guessed correctly, Vivian should have created a powerful 'clone' during her sleep, and this clone woke up earlier than she did..."

At the moment, Hao Ren told Hesiana all the information he had learned from the demon hunter, but he concealed the intricate relationship between the body of evil thoughts and the original body. The little bat spirit was not a stupid person. Moreover, she is more or less aware of Vivian's weird violent cycle, and may even know some phenomena related to evil thoughts, so it doesn't take much effort to understand these things.

Her expression turned serious.

"I know... A similar phenomenon seemed to have happened before. When Lady Vivian was sleeping, a guy who looked like her suddenly appeared. There was a lot of trouble at that time... I always thought it was someone The blind guy is doing all sorts of things in Lady Vivian's name and has been investigating this matter for a long time." Hesiana waved her hand, "Okay, this information is too important, so... we have to make a new plan. Plan, first of all, the witches must stay outside the shadow world. They will lose their lives facing the 'incarnation' you are talking about. In addition, we must find a way to control the soulless guards in the shadow world. Those are Vivian With the guards created by the Lord in his sleep, it will be much easier for us to deal with the 'incarnation'."

Lily blinked: "The Shadow Key was taken away by Barn, how can you still do this?"

Hesiana was silent for a moment and took a deep breath: "Let's go for it - the shadow key is just a convenient medium. Without it, wouldn't I be able to handle my own shadow spells! No matter what, my shadow power comes from Wei. What Lady Wei An inherited is from the same origin as the 'world over there', so it won't be a problem to intervene temporarily."

At this time, Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the time when he awakened Vivian in Siberia. At that time, he took advantage of the loopholes in the "defense system" set up by Vivian and used his magic power before the entire system could be activated. The free constitution destroyed the entire system. He originally planned to repeat the same trick this time, but he didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes. In the end, he had to borrow the power of the "Soulless Guard"...
