Edgar took the black cat to visit Crofts.

At that time, the black wolf was also wrapped in bandages like a black cat. Perhaps it was because the wolf form was more convenient for healing, so he did not change back to a human form. When he was lying on the bed, his eyes were still sharp, and the earrings on the tips of his ears were red like blood. A pair of red pupils set off against each other, and when he saw the black cat coming, he slightly restrained his momentum.

"When did you wake up?" The black wolf looked at the little black dumpling that was brought in front of him. As soon as he saw it, his mouth felt itchy. He wanted to lick and bite gently, but the black cat was also injured and naturally inconvenient to touch. .

"Just woke up in the morning." Edgar calmly circled the black cat to his side, meaning only the black wolf could see and not touch it.

Heilang's eyes were displeased, "You have to learn to respect your brother, especially since I'm still injured."

It knew that if it wasn't for the injury, Edgargen wouldn't have brought the kitten over, and he had done all kinds of things when he couldn't walk around.

Edgar said nothing.

The black cat caught in the middle is naturally more willing to get close to Edgar. The human form is not as strong as the wolf in the wolf form, and there is another very important reason...

"What's the matter with this little guy?" The black wolf also noticed that the kitten shrank its head back.

Edgar looked at the black wolf fur scattered on the bed and gave the answer, "Maybe it's because you think you are losing hair."

Hearing this, the black cat who was said to be the center of the matter unconsciously nodded twice.

Wolves smell bad, and shedding wolves smell even worse.

Black Wolf: "..." Little black-hearted ghost.

The black wolf involuntarily clasped the kitten to his chest, and the wolf fur that fell on the bed rubbed against the black cat. In short, it was a black mass with several white circles, like two replicas, one large and one small.

The clean-loving cat spit out the wolf fur in his mouth very indignantly.

vomit.

Sooner or later you will lose your hair and become bald.

"I don't have anything else to ask you, little guy." The black wolf brought it over, obviously it wasn't as simple as the question of whether the wolf's hair was not a wolf's hair, "You and that..."

"It is a holy beast, and it has a name called Yuanyuan." Edgar interrupted the black wolf with disapproval.

"...Where did you get this name from?" The black wolf glanced at him, "And the 'manifest miracle' you said earlier, when did it say its name? Why don't I know? ."

"It has a name anyway." Edgar has only taken what happened that night as his little secret.

"Okay." The black wolf opened his mouth, trying to learn the name, "Yuanyuan? It sounds like a female cat's name."

Thinking like this, it picked up the kitten and gestured to check the gender again, "I remember seeing that you weren't a male cat before?"

"Meow!" The black cat gave it a paw.

You are the mother cat.

The pained black wolf released its claws subconsciously, and the black cat jumped down. The black wolf looked at the vigilant expression of the black cat, and smiled deliberately, "What's this? You can also look at me." It was about to turn sideways.

Regarding this behavior of forced buying and selling, the black cat stretched out his claws and scratched again, expressing his refusal clearly.

I know I can't reason with you wolves.

Although werewolves have transformed from wolves to humans, many of their habits are still the same as those of wolves, and they live in a more primitive place and are reluctant to leave the forest. Compared with those vampires who pursue elegance even if they eat, werewolves are obviously more "returning to the basics" in a sense.

To put it hard, it means nothing.

The black cat thought angrily, he must leave after finishing the task today.

"Okay, don't tease it." Edgar moved the black cat out, "I really have something to ask you, do you have anything to do with that Prince Lester?"

Heilang added, "And what mage he said, don't you really have a previous master?"

In fact, even if there is, it has made up its mind that it is impossible to return the black cat. This little guy was brought back from the forest by it and Edgar.

Whoever picks it up first will go to whoever gets it first, which is very unreasonable.

The black cat didn't say a word, it couldn't speak anyway.

"Nod or shake your head to answer." Edgar stroked the cat's head with a smile, "Do you have anything to do with Lister?"

"..." Oppressing the cat will be punished.

No matter how the two asked, the cat just ignored it anyway. Not only did he ignore him, he also talked to Lin Ling in his mind.

"Lin Ling, should I choose a wolf now and take it to get the last half of the shards?" The black cat looked at the injured black wolf and estimated that he could only choose Edgar.

"'The winner is crowned king, and the loser drives out the stray'." Lin Ling repeated the contents of the mission prompt, "I seem to have a little impression that the selection of the wolf king seems to be to drive the loser out of the group. After a long time, you will die outside by yourself, are you sure you want to make such a choice?"

"...So they shouldn't have entrusted this kind of thing to a cat in the first place." The black cat was also a little discouraged when he heard this.

What should I say, although it is a game, it is indeed a plot under its choice.

"Then I don't know these two wolves at all, how do I choose?"

Don't say it just doesn't understand, it simply doesn't know anything about the two wolves except their names.

Lin Ling thought about it for a while and said, "How about you sneak into the castle to steal fragments, as before, and let the werewolves choose?"

"..." The black cat was silent, "I'll think about it again."

The two werewolves were still arguing over various issues about the black cat, and the black cat kept his eyes open and pretended to be stunned to the end, asking nothing.

But at this moment, Edgar happened to mention the fragment by coincidence, and looked at the black wolf, "Krofts, the elders said that the fragments we brought back are only half."

Both the black cat and the black wolf pricked up their ears, and the latter's wolf face was full of disbelief, "How is that possible?"

"Anyway, there are indeed two halves, and the other half is probably still in Riester's hands." Edgar said, "Wait for you to recover from the injury first, and then see who can bring the remaining half back."

Half of the ones that have been brought back so far, they all insisted that they were brought back by the holy beast, so the Presbyterian Council did not go too deep into it. They had already entered the final round of trials, but now that there is the other half... ...

Black Wolf lowered his eyes, but still nodded, "Okay."

The atmosphere seemed to be a little heavy for a while, as if infected by this atmosphere, the black cat finally couldn't help but agree, "Let's find an opportunity to go to the castle during the day."

Although there was the first failure of being caught by the prince, but now the prince has returned to the coffin because of his injuries, the castle during the day is naturally unguarded, and this time it also knows the location of the fragments, so the task is much simpler. There should be no other problems.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a better hook this time, it's absolutely foolproof." Lin Ling patted his chest.

Before leaving, the black wolf hugged the kitten and rubbed it reluctantly for a while, blowing in the black cat's ear, "You are still very young, you are not allowed to run around any more."

It's too small, it's really too small, a little thing that can be easily injured if you're not careful, it can't let this little black cat easily leave its sight.

When the time could no longer be delayed and he had to rest and recover, the black wolf watched Edgar take the cat away.

Back in the cat's room, the black cat was about to pretend to be sleepy and go back to the den to sleep, and then found a chance to pass it on again, when he saw Edgar closed the door and turned back into a white wolf, trying to squeeze in beside it.

The black cat was very irritable and tried to push it away, but today the white wolf seemed to be very excited, with a big tail flicking, no matter how hard the black cat chased it, it would not leave.

"Meow meow."

Go quickly.

Just when the black cat couldn't figure out why it was like this, the white wolf suddenly said, "I don't shed hair."

His tone was serious and his expression serious, as if he was talking about something very remarkable.

"......"You are sick.

The black cat rolled over and covered the quilt, with its tail and **** pointed at the white wolf, and ignored it.

Bai Lang also lay down next to him, closing his eyes and not forgetting to instruct: "Call me anytime if you're hungry, and I'll **** blood for you."

Vampire cats are still very important.

The black cat's head didn't turn back.

In his mind, Lin Ling said, "I'm ready, it's definitely possible this time."

"It won't see the problem?"

"Absolutely not." Lin Ling promised, "What can you tell from a cat that looks exactly the same?"

The one that failed a few hours ago was because the cat was not found, so as long as there is a cat this time, who can first find out that this is not the original black cat? Lin Ling replaced Yu Yuan's role with a real cat by imitating the exact same data.

The same process, when you open your eyes again, you are in the castle, and the one beside the white wolf is just a fake substitute. Black Cat Shumenshulu went downstairs to the collection hall, and the glass cabinet with the fragments was not far away.

It climbed up neatly, but was dumbfounded after seeing the situation inside.

- It turned out to be empty inside.

Without thinking much, the black cat realized where the half fragment was now—on the prince.

The prince guessed that it might come again, or a werewolf would come again. In short, with the character of this blood clan, he would not give the opportunity to surrender. If someone really wants to come and get it, they must confront him.

Things got worse.

But at least it's not too bad.

Thinking like this, the black cat confirmed with Lin Ling again, "You said that the prince was injured, right?"

"The injury is not serious, and I have already locked myself in the coffin."

Now is the time when the sun is at its maximum at noon, and the injured vampires are more easily affected by the environment. Even if they are not directly exposed to the sun, their reflexes during the day are often not as good as at night. As a former vampire, it knows this.

and......

The black cat looked at the prop [a mysterious key] in his game backpack.

In the hidden mission of the vampire, the prince gave it to it. According to the details of the item, this key should be able to open some locks in the Castle of Rist.

"I'll look for it." The black cat made a decision in his heart and ran out immediately.

"The prince is now in the fourth..."

"The small auditorium at the end of the left-hand corridor on the fourth floor, there is a coffin, I know." The black cat ran up the stairs.

Lin Ling: "..." Why do you look so skilled.

The castle was very quiet, and it was in total darkness. The black cat went up the fourth floor smoothly and walked to the door of the room.

The door is locked.

It looked left and right to make sure that no one was around, quickly changed back to human form, opened the door with the key, then changed back to the black cat, and got in through the crack of the slightly opened door.

In the auditorium, the scene is the same as before.

There are red and white roses in a room, and a coffin in the center of the room, and there will be a blood family lying in it.

Just like the scene when it first came to play a copy.

The dense fragrance of flowers caused the black cat a little discomfort. It couldn't help but sneezed a little and walked to the coffin while complaining about the prince's habit of spreading flowers.

The enhanced value finally played a role at this time. In order to prevent the prince from being awake now, it did not change back to a human form, but kept moving in the form of a cat. With a slight push of the cat's paw, the coffin opened a slit. , did not make much noise.

The prince was indeed lying inside.

The pale face is always the same, as if it has never changed, and will not change in the future. Maybe this is the nature of game NPCs.

The black cat lay on the edge of the coffin and stared at it for a while, clawed at the edge to prevent itself from falling. If an outsider saw this scene, they might think that a cat came to attend the funeral of its owner.

"Lin Ling, can you detect his state? Is it possible to wake up?"

"No, he is in the recovery period now and consumes a lot. At least he won't wake up for a few hours during the day. You can search with confidence."

The black cat nodded and entered the coffin through the crack.

There is a lot of space here, and there is enough room for a cat as big as two slaps. The soft cat claws stepped on the vampire, as light as a dragonfly.

It didn't miss every inch of detail, and even lowered its head and put its nose to the prince to try to smell the debris, but all it smelled was a faint smell of blood.

Not from other people's blood... from this blood race itself.

He seems to be really hurt badly, otherwise, with the keenness shown by the other party, he should have discovered it long ago.

While searching, the black cat couldn't help but ask: "Lin Ling, I have always been very curious, will a dungeon boss like the prince remember that he died many times?"

Every time a player clears a level, it means that the BOSS dies after the health bar is cleared.

"It doesn't count, it's not the same algorithm." Lin Ling explained to it patiently, "The data of each player's team after entering the dungeon is independent, the CD is once a month, and it will disappear after the boss is defeated next time. Refresh, only the data you have encountered is special. How to say it, it is actually difficult to explain, just like the first generation of Prince Haus Lister..."

The first BOSS guarded in the copy of [The Rest of the Lister Family] was House Lister, but with the development of the game and the progress of the plot, House Lister will also die, and he will also have a successor Or, every NPC has countless relationships, life, old age, sickness and death as usual, this is where this world is complete.

As he talked, Lin Ling probably guessed what it was thinking, "Anyway, you don't have to worry too much, the first point of the game is to maintain the authenticity of the world, 'they' won't realize that there is any problem in this world. This is' The world they're living in, that's what's real."

But someone will realize it's not right. The black cat thought silently.

At least as far as he's found out, Lambert has noticed something.

Too much like a real NPC... Sometimes it doesn't seem like a good thing.

The smell of blood always penetrated into its nasal cavity inadvertently, and the black cat avoided the wounded part of the prince as carefully as possible.

"Don't talk about this, I have to give you another buff." Lin Ling said.

As soon as the voice fell, the black cat found that there was a buff called [No Hair Loss] in the status bar above his head.

"If you keep falling like this, the prince will wake up and find that he is covered in black cat hair." Lin Ling took a sip.

Black cat: "..." It turns out that it is also shedding hair, I'm really sorry.

It searched over and over again in its entirety, but it was very strange that the fragments never appeared, as if they were not on the prince. Not here, where else could it be?

The black cat couldn't help but glanced at the sleeping face of the prince, for fear that the other party would wake up in the next second, it could almost imagine that kind of smiling eyes, as if it was waiting for it to fall into the trap all the time.

"Is it possible to be in another room?" Lin Ling suggested, "Do you have an impression? Will Lister be used to hiding precious things somewhere?"

precious thing?

When it was in the old castle, there were only a few rooms that had an impression. This auditorium was counted as one, the changing room full of jewels was counted as one, and the room in the basement was counted as one...

basement?

There was only one coffin there, very new...the one it had slept in a few times.

Thinking of this, the black cat murmured unconsciously: "I have a guess..."

Before it could finish, Lin Ling interrupted immediately, "Then go quickly."

The black cat had no choice but to climb out of the coffin along the gap.

Before leaving, it subconsciously glanced at the prince again. The other party was still in a deep sleep, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was surrounded by something in a dream, and he was not as handsome and comfortable as when he was awake. I don't know if it was an illusion or not, even the light of the ear studs on the pointed ears on both sides seemed to dim a little.

The black cat stared at him, always feeling that he accidentally rubbed cat hair on the other person at the beginning, if it weren't for the buff, he might rub more.

Inexplicably sorry.

Thinking like this, it stretched out its paws and stroked the prince's furrowed brows, the soft cat's paws brushing against the cold skin. As if the warm water has melted the ice, the eyebrows seem to be really stretched.

The black cat sighed.

Enthusiastic Maomao visits a thousand-year-old lonely and widowed old vampire in an empty nest, which is deeply touching and heartbreaking.

Lin Lingshun jokingly said, "Are you an interracial person with a deep affection for cats? Vampire cats still recite the love of 'blood father'?"

"Read a ghost's love." After rubbing it, the black cat jumped off the coffin lightly, "This is the sympathy from the enthusiastic citizen's little black cat, do you understand sympathy?"

Sympathy for that, even for NPCs, it really has a long life spanning a thousand years.

...the game company should give it an award for taking care of the growth of NPCs.

"Is it because the game is too deep, my friend." Lin Ling said, "I think this is a recognition of the game. This technician is very proud."

Lin Ling also boasted about how deep the game's sense of substitution was, and told a bunch of player stories that have been circulating since the server was launched, and the black cat had already climbed down the stairs one by one to the door of the basement.

The door here is also locked.

But it has keys.

With this key, it is like returning to its own home and can go wherever it wants.

After turning into a human and opening the door, out of caution, it still entered in cat form.

This form seems to be more and more convenient to use, and sometimes it can take advantage of some cats.

In the center of the basement is a coffin, with no dust on it, as if it was often wiped. The black cat walked over, lifted the lid, and made a dull sound.

However, unexpectedly, this is also empty.

"Where else can I be?" The black cat couldn't help but ask in his heart.

"There is no other possible place?" Lin Ling gave an example, "A locked mysterious room or a dark room, should such a large castle have such a room?"

Just as the black cat wanted to turn back and leave the basement first, at this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

"The pieces are with me."

The black cat was startled and looked up.

—Lambert is standing in the doorway.

Those ancient well's waveless eyes are always covered with a layer of gray fog, and they are like icebergs hidden under the sea level, and they can't see anything. The silver-rimmed glasses always bring out only coldness and calmness.

An NPC who died once and died under its hands appeared in front of it again, and for a while, the feeling was indescribable.

What Lambert was holding in his hand was the golden shards that he searched for nothing.

He took two steps forward and said, "You really came back."

The black cat strung everything together. It was true that the prince was injured, but he guessed that someone might come to get the fragments again, and finally took a step back, chose to cooperate with another blood clan, and handed the fragments to the other party.

And this collaborator, of course, can only be Lambert. In the end, it is the blood compatriots who are connected by blood. Even if there are many disagreements, as long as the purpose is the same, the process can always be put aside for a while.

"If I jump up to grab the pieces, is there a high chance of success?" the black cat asked.

"Not big." Lin Ling told the truth, "The agility value of this boss was very high when it was designed. With your current value...it would probably have to be doubled by seven or eight times."

I'm worried.

Since he can't grab it hard, the black cat can only come up with a consistent plan, first let the other party relax their vigilance and then see if there is a chance to grab it.

I saw it opened its eyes wide, and started pretending to be an innocent kitten again with its tail flickering.

"Meow meow."

Behind the other party is the only door in the basement, and the black cat does not expect to go out from there now, as long as it gets the fragments, it can be teleported away immediately.

Lambert stepped forward slowly, and the distance between them was very close.

Then, the black cat saw the other party put the pieces in his chest pocket, then squatted down and stretched out his hand to it, "Come up."

The black cat weighed the current situation and determined that no one saw it when he changed into a human before, so he chose to follow the request of the other party, stepped on the other party's hand, and prepared to find an opportunity to aim at the fragments.

The kitten was held up.

Then Lambert did something that caught the cat off guard.

I saw this blood race, who had always been restrained, actually held it in front of him, and then... buried the lower half of his face in the cat's plush belly.

Also took a breath.

The most sensitive place was attacked unexpectedly, and the black cat subconsciously wanted to scratch his face and kick him twice, but when he thought of the fragments, he temporarily gave up the struggle and let the other party **** the cat.

Forgive you first.

Cat revenge.

After a while, Lambert, who let go of the black cat, slowly took off his glasses and looked at the black cat with a strange color in his eyes.

The mood of the black cat who was sucked for a long time was also very complicated.

I didn't see that your serious blood clan was actually a cat slave.

Cats are disdainful.

However, what was even more unexpected was yet to come.

I saw Lambert smiled at it and called in an unusually certain tone: "Yu, you're back."

The cat is shocked.

I'm not, I don't have you, don't talk nonsense.

The black cat started to kick his legs frantically, and wondered if this blood race had any special abilities, and could still recognize people by smelling the smell of cats.

That's not to praise the species for recognizing him!

But Lambert's expression became more serious.

"Welcome home."
