But everyone still finds it hard to believe this shocking coincidence, and thinks it should just be too strong.

So that mysterious bottle, instead of attracting Merlin's attention, was actually collected by the priest.

The problem facing the group is that they still haven't found any valuable clues to the blood.

It looked like a headless fly, looking for information about Dracula.

Although the three oldest blood races came out of that forest, it is difficult to inquire about the secrets among them.

In a certain room, Alice was untying the bandage on her arm and moving her hand slightly.

After several days of recovery, Alice's injury has recovered 70% to 80%, and there will be no more pain that is difficult to move.

As long as you continue to rest for a few days, you can fully recover

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and Alice raised her head and threw the bandage on the table into the trash can. "Who?

Merlin opened the door of Alice's room and looked at Alice a few times. "Old Mr. Akaron said that he has figured out a way to find the blood. Let's talk about it."

"Really?" Alice raised her head, her eyes still had some doubts, she didn't think the old Akaron could do anything. After all, this old man is very ordinary. Compared with real adventure experience, she and Merlin are better than Akaron. To be powerful.

"I don't think the old man seems to be joking, maybe there is a way, maybe." Merlin was also uncertain, because the impression of Acalon along the way was too ridiculous, and it didn't seem to be a key man. People.

"It's better to count on ourselves as you count on Mr. Akaron." Alice didn't expect very much, she felt it was just a waste of time.

"Wow, do you look down on Mr. Akaron? Do you discriminate against low-level adventurers?" Merlin frowned and buttoned Alice with a big hat.

"...I don't, don't slap me on the hat, but the old Mr. Akaron is not rich in adventure experience, and must rely on us along the way, so I just don't trust him." Alice said in a stressed tone .

"He did 99999..."

"Can you shut up?

;

Before Merlin could finish speaking, Alice glared at him dissatisfiedly, and said angrily.

"No matter how many low-level tasks are completed, we won't accumulate any experience. It's like we eat every day. Are we going to be gourmets in the future? Mr. Akaron doesn't shine, so let's not pin our hopes on him. On the body."

"Old Mr. Acalon is a bit too mediocre, but as a native of France, he knows the empire better than we do." Merlin said objectively.

"Are you still not sober? Do you think there is anything extraordinary about Mr. Akaron? Please wake up, our journey has been delayed because of his relationship." Alice said softly. It means that the old Akaron was a little bit behind in the team, and it didn't play a role.

"I'm already awake, okay? Then I ask if you have any clues about the blood clan now?" Merlin asked.

"Nothing..." Alice hesitated and answered honestly.14

"That's not enough, neither of us have a clue, why not listen to the old Mr. Akaron's way, in case a new breakthrough is found?" Merlin looked at Alice's eyes and thought it was OK to listen.

"This... Alice thought for a while, and thought it would be okay to listen, so she nodded, "I'll go by in a while."

Merlin glanced at the bandage in the trash can, and pretended to ask indifferently, "Then...Is your injury cured?

"Huh?" Alice raised her head and glanced at Merlin. This is the first time he has said something to care about herself in the past few days. "...It's better, you don't need to worry about it."

"That's good, we may be leaving the church these few days to find new clues, so... Merrington paused, scratched his cheek with his fingers, "I hope you recover soon.

"Didn't you say that I don't have to worry about my thick skin? Seeing me in such a panic, are you secretly happy?" Alice squinted her eyes and asked tentatively.

"It's too much to cheer, right? If you are hurt, I will feel uncomfortable." Mei Lin said lightly, assuming that this sentence was from the perspective of a companion.

"Well, are you? It's obvious if you care about me. Don't always be cold. I thought you were a killer without emotion.

Alice pursed her mouth, pretending to be angry and complaining

So when I was injured, this guy was actually worried?

It is rare to hear words of concern from his mouth, maybe it is a good sign.

Of course I won’t feel happy about it. How can it be so easy to please me?

Chapter 23: The Slave City of Avignon

In the old Akaron's room, Merlin and Alice had come as agreed, and wanted to hear the old man's new method.

With no clue at the moment, maybe the old Akaron can run into a dead mouse blindly and find a breakthrough.

"Here we are, Mr. Akaron, tell me what you can do to break the deadlock?" Merlin asked straightforwardly when he came.

"You actually want to find the blood, right?" Old Akron asked abruptly.

"Yes, did your old man find a clue?" Mei Lin asked tentatively.

No, although many ancient books have recorded that France was infested by living vampires, it has long since disappeared. There is obviously a problem with the direction of your investigation... The old Akron said meaningfully, it seems that he still has himself Insights.

"What's the problem? Does your old man have a better way?" Alice said in disbelief.

"Yes." Old Akaron nodded solemnly, "If I hadn't had a solution, I would definitely not find someone to come."

Alice did not speak, her expression became unnatural, and she wondered what could this old man do?It is estimated that it was some unrealistic fantasy. The old Akaron played no role at all, except to lead the way.

"Since you have a way, then speak out and listen, don't sell it." Merlin urged.

"I think you should use the kinship habits as clues to investigate, so that the success rate seems to be much higher." Old Akaron said seriously.

"The kinship of the blood?" Alice raised her eyebrows, not knowing what Akaron wanted to express.

"Yes, the blood food is blood, and domestic animals are not within their hunting range, so most vampires feed on human blood. They cannot suppress their desire for blood. If they don’t suck blood for a long time, they will have life. Danger, we can use this direction to investigate, maybe there will be more gains." Old Akron said his own thoughts, it seems there is some truth.

"Are we going to find someone who has been sucked blood?" Merlin frowned, thinking that this method was not very reliable.

"No, no, no, it's like finding a needle in a haystack. It's too much trouble. I mean you can start with the missing people. Maybe you will find something tricky in it." Old Akron said with joy.

"Missing persons?" Alice became more confused, not understanding what old Akaron meant.

"Yes, in order to survive, it is impossible for the kinsmen not to suck blood? They will definitely kidnap humans, raise them in captivity, and continuously suck blood. This is both concealed and safe. So we should investigate the missing persons to see if there are any abnormalities." Old Akron touched his chin and said.

After the two listened, they met each other's restrictions

"Alice, I think what the old man said is reasonable, if France really has blood, it is impossible not to eat?" Merlin said to Alice in a low voice.

"Yes... also, it seems that you can ask a few human traffickers or slave merchants to find out where these people are sent. If you follow the vine, you should find the blood? After all, it is safer to buy slaves than kidnapping. "Alice thought with her delicate eyebrows.

Small bowl

"Yes, yes, yes, if I don't pay attention to the vampire's survival, I will choose to buy slaves, and I won't cause major incidents." Merlin said in a serious tone, trying to bring herself into the role of blood clan.

"Unexpectedly, the old Mr. Akaron could think of starting from the kinship habits, before he was really underestimated." Alice had to see the old Akaron again, this old man is not useless at all.

"No matter how much you say, the old man is a person who has done so many tasks, some experience, don't you like to wear colored glasses to see people?" Merlin glanced at Alice, with blame in his tone.

"Who likes to wear colored glasses to see people? Isn't the old Mr. Akaron always dragging us along the way? Besides, you have seen that I am really not discriminating against others." Alice defended herself.

"Sure enough, I still have the foresight, knowing that old Mr. Acalon will definitely have outstanding points. Isn't this a new breakthrough soon? It seems that Mr. Carl is not pitting us, he helped us find a good guide "Merlin showed a somewhat triumphant look.

"Obviously, who is the one who said that people's brains are not good?" Alice stared at Merlin and said sarcastically.

"It's not me, don't stare at me." A drop of cold sweat dripped on Merlin's forehead.

Seeing Merlin and Alice whispering, the old Akaron seemed to have a heated discussion, so he interrupted and asked: "What do you think of my plan?" SE4Z Oji

"My need to try, Mr. Akaron, you really helped us this time." Merlin said solemnly.

"...Really?" Old Akron's eyes widened, and he felt flattered when he heard Merlin's appreciation. "It seems that my thinking over the past few days has not been in vain. I know that starting from the habit is to find the blood. The easiest way.

"What will I do after that? Does old Mr. Acalon have a clue?" Alice asked.

"In fact, I know a place where there are frequent occurrences of bizarre disappearances of young women. Once the French ruled out the knights to investigate the place, the results were returned without success. Until now, there has been no result in the disappearance of women, like It was covered up...Old Akron recalled that he thought it was very suspicious.

"Where? Little Alice asked

"Avignon, the lord is a countess named Camilla..."

The next morning, when the sun broke through the horizon.

Merlin and his party packed up their things, got into the bullock cart, and prepared to go to the next location, Avignon.

The priest also woke up early to see off Merlin and the others.

After Acalon's analysis, Merlin and Alice also felt that the frequent occurrence of bizarre disappearances of women in this place might be possible, and they thought it would be better to go to Avignon to straighten them.e wave 4

Because vampires live on blood, there are always people missing in Avignon, possibly imprisoned by the kinsmen, as a source of food.

Although this kind of thing sounds very bizarre, it is by no means impossible. After all, after the blood race raged in France, it suddenly disappeared collectively in a certain period of time.

Vampires are generally unfaithful and immortal. Such things as collective disappearance are very suspicious. They can only choose low-key secrets to continue to survive in the dark.

But the blood-sucking impulse will not dissipate, which is the breakthrough point for Merlin and Alice.

"Yesterday, I heard Mr. Acalon say that Avignon is the largest slave trading field." Merlin said nonchalantly while sitting in the bullock cart.

"So what?" Alice frowned.

"Slave, I'm thinking about buying some beautiful girls, hehe~" Merlin said meaningfully.

"Ah?! I don't allow it! You absolutely can't do that? Otherwise, I'll fight you hard!" Alice was like a cat with fried hair, and she was about to scratch Merlin's face in the next second.

"Ha, don't get excited, I'm joking. If you want to buy it, you have to have money? Besides, I can't afford it." Meilin talked helplessly with his hands.

"It's enough to raise me alone, no more mouths are allowed at home, huh!" Alice murmured angrily.
