You're Lazy, Dracula

—————————————————————

At night, when it was almost midnight, Dracula and Nangong Nayue finally walked out of the tavern in the East District.

Because the two of them are big sponsors, the owner of the tavern also delayed the opening of the store, and Dracula also knowingly continued to increase funds so that the owner of the tavern can get enough turnover.Joy, who has become the intelligence informant hired by Dracula and Nangong that month, has also been with the two of them, chatting with them about the big and small things that happened in London recently after the defeat of the dark creatures.Although Joey is not an expert in dark creatures, for such a well-informed guy, he has more or less heard some rumors about such a big event.

What they did was cheap for those drunks who came to the tavern for a drink. These guys had a full carnival tonight, and they didn't spend even half of their money.

It wasn't until around midnight, when Nangong Nayue looked at the sky and took Dracula to leave, that the tavern finally closed.

Joey didn't leave the two big benefactors and went straight home. This smart young man took Dracula and Nangong Nayue to the pier where the bodies were found, and then politely said goodbye and went home.

These wharves with workers on the Thames River are naturally located in the direction of the East End of London, so that it is convenient for the homeless inside to come out to do short-term work.These vagrants provide labor for a day to the docks and merchants, and then the merchants will give them some rewards. At night, these rewards will be spent by them on cheap ale in East End taverns or low-class warblers.

However, during this period of time, on the streets of London where the curfew is enforced, no one should come to this pier at the risk of being discovered by the night patrol.

Dracula and Nangong Nayue walked lazily side by side to the place where the body was found pointed by Joey.

This is a port for medium-sized cargo ships. There is a row of low stone pillars for ships to dock beside the pier built with neat stones by the river. There is also a small ladder extending from the shore, submerged in the water.

And two steps before the two of them, the place where the stone steps go down vertically is the surface of the Thames River.In the twilight of the night, the surface of the Thames appeared silent and deep, like a piece of black crystal, only the sound of slow flowing water reached their ears.

Compared with the two turbulent rivers in China, the flow of the Thames River is not very fast, but the water surface at the pier is already close to the mouth of the North Sea, the river surface has become wider, and the flow speed of the river has also become faster.

In this place, Dracula and Nangong Nayue couldn't guarantee that the dead man's body would not be washed away with the river.But as long as it has not drifted across the ocean with the currents of the North Sea, Dracula can easily find it.

Standing on the bank of the river, Dracula closed his eyes and held out his palm.

The magic power of blue with a breath of death rose from his palm and slowly spread across the Thames River.

This is necromantic magic. In order to deal with the enemy, the king of the undead, Dracula also studied it deeply, but he himself does not like to use it.But now Wuzhi is also using this type of magic, so Dracula's resistance to necromantic magic has also dropped a lot.

He is now covering the entire river with his huge magic power, and then sensing the corpse that may have turned into bones below.

Like tentacles, the magic power spread from the surface of the Thames into the water, and groped for a while on the uneven riverbed of the Thames.

"found it."

Dracula paused slightly, then stretched out his finger and ticked the surface of the Thames.In less than two seconds, a skeleton wearing a costume that can be seen everywhere ran up from the bottom of the Thames River in a very standard running posture, and along the stone steps by the river bank, came to Dracula and that moon. side.

There are blue will-o'-the-wisps flashing in its eye sockets, which is the expression that it is restrained by Dracula's undead technique.

Arriving in front of Dracula and Nangong Nayue, the skeleton saluted them with a slap, and then stood neatly in the posture of standing at attention without moving.

16. I'm about to bump into you

"From the clothing point of view, it's very ordinary."

Nangong looked at the skeleton that month, and then said:

"Looks like a commuter you can see everywhere on the streets of London."

"Well, but the cause of death of this corpse was that it was sucked dry of blood, and there were traces of using camouflage magic on its body. Judging from the breath of magic power, it should be a high-ranking vampire in this world, but There's a little bit of a difference."

Dracula said, and stretched out a hand to the skeleton.

"And I also found some interesting things about it."

When the skeleton saw Degu stretch out his hand, it began to grope around on its own body. Then, it took out a lot of cross darts from the inner pocket of the clothes, the inside of the trousers, the chest, the butt pocket, and even the crotch. Knives, blow arrows, poison bottles and other props were all held in their hands and displayed in front of Dracula and Nangong Nayue.

"Is this holy water?"

Nangong Nayue carefully picked up a bottle containing a colorless liquid from the skeleton's paw, opened it and smelled it, and said:

"There is also a solution of pure silver and an anesthetic for hunting large beasts. This person is a hunter?"

"Looking at his equipment, it may be the shameful assassin of the Rausch sub-alliance formed on the Europa continent that Joey mentioned."

Dracula picked up a dagger, spun it around like a butterfly on his fingertips a few times, and then manipulated the skeleton so that it turned its head to one side, revealing the scar on its neck.

"Look, his neck is broken. This should be caused by some kind of forceful blow from this side. This should also be the work of a vampire. But it's been too long, and he was soaked in the river. Too long, otherwise we could easily track down the man who killed him with the remaining magic power."

"An assassin on the continent of Europa ran to the island of England alone from thousands of miles away. He brought so many props for hunting dark creatures, and then he was sucked dry by vampires. He died and threw him in the Thames River. in."

Nangong Nayue complained:

"This method of committing the crime is too obvious. It seems that this little guy has no experience."

"Except for the descendants of the Scarlet family, there should be no one else."

Dracula touched his chin and said:

"If it were me, not to mention covering up my magical aura, I would at least burn the body and sprinkle it into the sea. If this little guy did this, he would have been tracked by people [-]%."

"It is estimated that something will happen soon in the nearby urban area."

Nangong Nayue twirled the black lace fan in her hand and said:

"I hope that Joey you are looking for can tell us the news as soon as possible."

"I hope as soon as possible... But judging by this little guy's tactics, I guess they may make a lot of noise when the time comes, and the English royal family and Protestants may not be able to cover it up."

Dracula nodded, then paused suddenly, and looked towards an intersection next to the alley.

"Huh? It seems that a guest is coming."

Nangong Nayue followed his gaze and found a silver-haired girl in a high-necked windbreaker standing at the intersection, looking at the two of them coldly with her hands in her pockets.
