President Clark looked at Jialan's actions curiously, but he didn't understand why Jialan used "alchemical acid" to corrode the erythema of the hired workers' corpse.
"No, this is not an alchemy acid, it's just an alchemy solvent!"
Jialan shook his head. Alchemy acid is a corrosive substance used in alchemy. It is usually only possible to extract it by alchemists. The yield is very small. Alchemy solvent is a conventional alchemy reagent, and almost most of them are alchemy.
It will be used in the experiment to melt some materials or to fuse two incompatible substances.
However, alchemy solvents are not corrosive. As long as they are not swallowed directly, even if they are applied to the skin or damaged wounds, they will not cause harm to the human body.
Seeing the erythema on the neck of the employer's corpse, Jialan had already guessed the general reason for the death of the four employers, so he used alchemy solvent to melt the "thrombin" that solidified on the erythema.
Yes, the murderer is obviously a blood-sucking man among the undead creatures. Although he doesn't know which one it is, the traces it left behind have revealed its identity.
During the process of sucking blood, any blood-sucking person will inject an anesthetic substance into the prey, making it unable to feel pain, and even the dizziness and black vision caused by large-scale blood loss will also make them feel as if they have been sucking drugs.
Fantastic hallucination.
This is also the reason why the four hired workers have such strange expressions of happiness on their faces.
After sucking blood, the thrombin contained in the venom of the blood-sucking man will quickly solidify the blood and produce a layer of transparent gelatin, making the wound look like red spots left after being bitten by mosquitoes.
This is used to cover up the wound.
Coincidentally, the alchemy solvent just melts this thrombin and exposes the wound again.
After listening to Jia Lan's explanation, President Clark and others were shocked: "Is it the legendary vampire?"
As far as Jia Lan knows, vampires are not a legend... but there is no need to deliberately explain this kind of thing to Clark and others.
Jialan just looked at the wound again and shook her head and said, "From the distance between the wounds, it does look like a vampire bite, but the 'characteristic' is not right..."
"Vampire" is a derogatory term for vampires by humans. In fact, "vampires" call themselves "blood clan". They are a kind of vampire who is no less than or even more intelligent than humans. They are elegant, cool and handsome.
Noble, considering itself to be a species more noble than humans.
Moreover, the "flavor" of the blood clan is very picky. Just like when a human aristocrat wants to choose steak, the beautiful virgin girl and handsome innocent boy are their first choice prey.
At the same time, the "dining etiquette" of the blood clan is quite "elegant" and "beautiful". They usually charm the selected prey and then start a cat-show-like teasing. The whole process will even last for several days or even months.
.
Only after letting the prey fall in love with them will the prey be in the deepest obsession with them and start to enjoy their "good meal". Therefore, unless it is deliberately killed, the victims attacked by the blood clan will even be free of complaints.
I regretfully fall in love with them, devote my blood, and willingly become their slaves.
These four hired workers are vulgar men in their thirties and forties. No matter from any perspective, they do not meet the criteria for the blood clan to choose prey. If the beautiful girl and the handsome boy are "filli tenderloin", then they can at most
It's even if it's "going into the water".
If any blood clan really bit them, Jia Lan can only say that this blood clan is probably either hungry or has a strong taste...
Gripping his teeth, Jia Lan stretched out her two fingers to compare her two of hers, which were also slightly pointed tiger teeth, and then compared the wounds on the corpse, and signaled the width of the wound to Clark and others: "But
This distance is not the trace left by some small vampire species similar to vampire bats, it's so strange!"
He was also a little puzzled. This distance was exactly the distance between human-type vampire blood sucking people. But in addition to the blood clan, which kind of vampire is human-type?
However, the appearance of the blood-sucking people can explain why there are horrible legends in the Castle of Doom, and why those who stay in Castle of Doom died bizarrely. The only doubt is that in the history of Castle of Doom, there are some victims who are inexplicably killed.
Missing.
You should know that although the bloodsucker is an immortal creature, it is the type of immortal creature that does not eat corpses. Even if the victims are attacked by the bloodsucker, they will not even disappear.
Although there is a legend among the people that "vampires eat people", it is just the reason why people who don't know about vampires are confused with the "undead" blood clan, the "undead" ghoul, and the "dark" werewolf.
.
Although the so-called "undead" and "undead" belong to both "undead" rather than "life", the two are completely different two existences and cannot be confused.
There were too many suspicious points, and Jialan could not make a judgment immediately. She could only ask the mercenary who found the body of the hired worker: "How long have the four hired workers died?"
The mercenary recalled and said, "No more than 6 hours! When we found them, it was about half an hour before dawn."
Hearing this, Jia Lan squatted beside the corpse and studied it for a while, then suddenly reached out and gently pulled the hair of one of the hired workers' bodies, but directly pulled the handful of hair off, causing the poor hired workers' bodies to be bald.
A large piece!
Clark and others felt chills, but immediately reacted. With the cold temperature at this time, it is impossible for corpses that have died for less than 6 hours to rot. There is no reason why the hair of the corpse will fall off so easily!
Jialan obviously thought of something, but she didn't say it out loud, but just nodded thoughtfully: "Can you get the holy water or invite the priest?"
President Clark and Kenmait looked at each other and frowned: "Coran City is the field of Kemo University and the only city without a church of Light. Although there are a few pastors of Light who are active in Kemo City, they want to
It’s not that easy to find them in a short time.”
Jialan nodded as if he had expected it. In the former civilization, although the religious beliefs in the Kingdom of Gilago were quite free and did not specifically prohibit the spread of certain religions, there were few religious forces in Corinburg.
Appear.
This situation is not limited to Corlandburg. Religious beliefs are relatively weak in almost all areas where the Austral Fa is prevalent. After all, most of the mages are unbelievers who are hated by religious people. Although Austral Fa and religion are not opposite,
But it is not harmonious either.
"Then we can only use a more cruel method..."
Jia Lan looked at the four corpses with embarrassment and ordered: "Go and find a wild hawthorn tree that is more than ten years old, and get three hard branches about the size of a small finger back, and at least one foot long."
President Clark said with great interest: "Can you kill vampires with the branches of the decade-old hawthorn tree?"
Jialan shrugged: "I don't know, I just heard that. I'm not a priest... But I have to try it. Without destroying the body, I can only think of this method." After all, these four hired workers
They are innocent, and when the matter is over, their bodies must be returned to their relatives for burial.
It is not difficult to find the wild hawthorn tree. Soon a mercenary brought back a large bundle of branches. Jialan selected three branches of suitable thickness and sharpened them with the combat dagger given to him by Old Jimmy, and then asked Diff to put them in it.
A hired worker's body turned face down and signaled: "Press it!"
Although President Clark and his team thought the scene was a bit strange, Commander Kenmait came forward to help himself. The two of them pressed the shoulders of the corpse on one side. Jia Lan fumbled a little about the back of the corpse, and then put the wild hawthorn.
The branches gently pierced from the location where the skull and spine are connected!
"Ah~~~~~~~"
A shrill hiss suddenly erupted from the mouth of the stiff corpse. The harsh sound wave scared everyone. Diff and Captain Kenmait, who were responsible for holding the corpse, were almost scared to pee!
Because they were just symbolically pressing the corpse, but they didn't use any force... Who would know that the corpse would struggle? They thought it was just a part of Jia Lan's "corpse abuse ritual".
As a result, when Jia Lan stabbed the wild hawthorn branch into the back of the corpse, the corpse of the hired worker suddenly burst out with a huge force and leaned back, almost overturning them to the ground. Fortunately, both of them were not strong enough.
Low, the reaction was fast enough, and the body was immediately pressed back to the ground.
After seeing the corpse of the hired worker tremble violently for a while, it returned to its state of sanity. The two men in sweat received Jia Lan's instructions and then carefully loosened the shoulders of the corpse. This sweat was not exhausted.
Yes, it's a cold sweat that was scared out.
(Old Sao's note: In order to prevent some people from questioning the question of "why well-informed mercenaries are shocked and exploded by supernatural events", I would like to remind you first, and there is an explanation in the following text.)
As Jia Lan walked towards the second corpse, she seemed to remember it, reminded: "Uh, by the way, when you press the corpse, it is best not to put your hands on their shoulders, press the back of your neck or spine.
OK, so as not to be bitten by them, it will be contagious..."
Diff almost urinated, and Captain Kenmait looked even more shitty. Do you dare to say this earlier?
After dealing with the other two corpses according to law, Jialan easily clapped her hands and nodded, "Now you can send these three corpses to a closed space to 'lock', send someone to watch them, wait
Let's deal with it after the matter is over!"
President Clark said in horror: "Are they not dead yet?" The hard branches, a foot long, were inserted into the back of their heads!
"By the way, why only three bodies are dealt with? What's the rest?"
President Clark pointed to the remaining corpse with some concern and asked. Jialan looked at the corpse of the hired worker who had been pulled bald by him and smiled: "Of course you have to leave one and lead the way for us!"
