The knight in the abyss

Chapter 33 Pre-War Analysis

"Uh, what do you mean?" Pluto was a little puzzled, but Karalin's expression changed.

"Lancelot, what did you find?"

"There is a coffin in the tomb that is covered. I can be sure that there is a vampire lying in it, but it doesn't feel strong. Karalin, how much do you know about vampires? I have only heard of this kind of creature in folklore before."

"Vampires are a relatively common undead creature." Karalin's face became serious. "In addition to the well-known weaknesses of wooden stakes, running water, and sunlight, vampires have these characteristics."

"First of all, vampires are actually some kind of earthbound spirits, bound by their own coffins or cemeteries, and must sleep in them during the day. Advanced vampires can resist this nature to a certain extent, but their strength is still limited by the day. substantially weakened."

"Secondly, they bear the curse of the gods and cannot enter any inhabited house without the invitation of their masters."

"Third, in addition to the well-known bat form, vampires can also enter the fog form. In this state, they cannot attack or manipulate objects, but they can move and are immune to all damage except magic."

"Fourth, when they are killed outside the lair, they are actually transformed into mist form. They must return to their lair within two hours to recover, or they will be completely destroyed."

"Fifth, not all creatures bitten by vampires will become vampires. Only those killed with their blood-sucking ability will wake up the night after burial and become a vampire. The most common ones are those raised by vampires. Blood eating. The vampire transformed in this way is under the absolute control of the murderer, so it is called a vampire spawn. Only when the object controlling it dies, can it be free and become a real vampire."

"In the end, the vampire's state is more like a curse, or a blessing, depending on how you look at the problem, so it's a state that can be reversed. The priest's seven-ring magic resurrection is the most commonly used method. It restores its form before becoming a vampire, but since this spell is invalid for creatures that die naturally, it cannot be transformed by this method for those vampires who have lived for a long time and have already exceeded their lifespan; another method is the magician's nine-ring magic prayer. Wish, as I introduced before, this spell has the power to change reality and can directly remove the state of the vampire."

"That is, since we're actually sitting on the vampire's lair, the guy in the tomb is actually easy to deal with?"

"That's right." Karalin nodded. "Lancelot, how do you feel about that vampire's strength?"

"It's about the same as Dink."

"And how does that compare to Pluto?"

"It's still a little worse than Pluto."

Pluto listened with a black line on his face, "Co-authoring me has become a measure of combat power..."

"That's not true." Karalin shook his head, "You used mithril for your hammer, right? Lancelot's sword is too big, and I'm afraid it can't be used in the low tomb. Well, I'm afraid you still have to rely on your hammer."

"That's it." Pluto suddenly became happy again, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of any opponent who is less than twice my height."

"Judging from its strength and the dilapidated coffin, I think the other party is more likely to be a victim, but it's better to be fully prepared." Lancelot turned to Karalin, "About fighting vampires, you Are there any suitable spells?"

"Let me think about it," Karalin scratched his head, "The most effective way to deal with vampires is the magic of priests and paladins, the available spells..."

"Decomposing a corpse is a good 1st-level spell. We often use this spell to deal with the corpses of our research subjects, and it can also severely weaken undead creatures, but the casting material requires an air-dried poisonous mushroom, so I'm afraid it won't work."

"Sonic spells work well on demons, so I specifically learned a 1st-level spell called Screech Screech. If the target is seriously injured into mist form, this spell can give it a fatal blow, and the result will be completely lost. it."

"Vampires' night vision in the dark would give them a certain advantage, and dwarves have darkvision too, but Ser Lancelot and I can't, so a 0-ring light spell would be useful. It makes an object glow, The brightness is enough to cover a range of 20 feet, and the environment like a tomb is completely enough."

"In addition, beware of vampire's charm ability. The 2nd-level spell Owl's Wisdom can strengthen the resistance to this ability of vampires. I think it should be used by Lancelot."

"Why don't you use it for me or yourself." Pluto asked strangely, "Should we be weaker?"

"The reason for not giving it to me is because I am the worst. Charm I can't pose any threat to you." Karalin said indifferently, "The reason for not giving it to you is similar, even if you are charmed, Sir Lancelot. It's not a big problem to deal with. But if he is charmed, the underground tomb may be our sleeping place."

Hearing this, Brutus opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something to refute, but he could only helplessly agree: "What you said makes sense."

"Among the 2nd-level spells I have, there is also a water flow spell that is suitable. This spell will create a gentle current of water, which is usually used for swimming, but because the effect of living water on vampires is like strong acid, this spell can cause vampires. Lots of damage."

"Finally, based on the principle of not wronging a good person, I also have a very useful 1st-level spell, check the alignment, this spell can tell whether the target is good or evil, but you need to use 0-level detection magic to confirm the opponent first. Whether under the influence of magic effects, or carrying magic items."

"The above is all the spells I can think of."

"Magic is amazing." Lancelot sighed.He thought about it, and finally said: "Prepare the 0-level spells light and detect magic, these two are really useful; the 1-level spell is enough to check the alignment, and the shrill scream is not used for the time being, its nest is under our ass. , can't run. Owl's Wisdom of the 2nd ring... I don't think it's a big problem for me to resist. After all, I am at the level of Tijana... Should I be able to hold it? And the sun will set in more than an hour. , is there enough time to prepare the 2nd level spell scroll?"

"It's really not enough." Karalin nodded helplessly, "I'm already making scrolls very fast, but 1 hour is really enough for me to prepare two 0-level spell scrolls and one 1-level spell scroll."

"We have to solve this hidden danger tonight, let's get ready." Lancelot confirmed the approximate position of the sun again, "There should be enough time, Pluto, your hammer can be used as a blacksmith's hammer. Is it?"

"Okay, what's wrong?"

Lancelot took out a handful of silver coins, "I think I throw things fairly accurately. Help me to sharpen the edges of these coins."

"Smashing people with money." Pluto excitedly raised his hammer, "This idea is good, leave it to me."

　Change it first and then change it, I am especially grateful to all the friends who voted for me every day~ The encouragement of my brothers is my biggest motivation!
