Chapter 14: Raising a Baby: A Little Vampire Who Acts Cutely
Ye Xuan was wandering aimlessly in the village. When he passed through an alley, a piece of paper pasted on the wall caught his attention.
Perhaps because of a few days of exposure to wind and sun, the half-new wanted poster had faded in color and was damaged in several places. However, it was not difficult for him to tell who the portrait on it belonged to - wasn't that the vampire child in his room?
"If you spot this vampire, please contact the Paladin Order as soon as possible..." He always felt that there was a "hotline" or something missing.
So not only did the kid survive the Blood Hunters, but he's also wanted by the Paladins? What kind of player would choose such a "challenging" story quest?
That's right, this is a challenge to real NPCs.
Although the entire quest line is still unclear, at least he is not as passive as in the previous scenario.
It can be felt from the fact that he can wander freely in the village that the plot is not very restrictive, so he has more room to play.
After getting this information, he planned to go back. After all, he couldn't guarantee that the little vampire would not get into trouble if it took too long.
Ye Xuan returned to the church, and as a priest he couldn't help but exchange a few words with other people.
His superior, the bishop, hurried past him, and seemed to bring with him a scent of flowers, but when he smelled it carefully, he had already gone far away.
Weird guy. Ye Xuan curled his lips and walked towards his room pretending not to care.
Vampires feed on blood and always have a faint smell of blood.
Ye Xuan was worried that the smell of the little vampire would come out from the cracks in the doors, windows and other places that could be ventilated to the outside, so he wondered if there was anything like perfume that could be used.
He looked at the icons, trying to find one that seemed to have a similar effect.
Is there any perfume in your wardrobe? No.
Is there any in the warehouse? It's empty.
Hey, this is...
Ye Xuan found something that looked like something from a shopping mall. Although he didn't usually play games, he knew from watching other classmates play that many things in the game mall were not cheap.
So this icon was always filtered out by him. As poor as he was, he remembered at this time that he was an employee.
Since he can wear whatever clothes in the closet he wants (even when completing missions), can he also use whatever props in the mall? Otherwise, the difficulty will become increasingly high, and it will be difficult for him to complete the mission.
With the mentality of "giving it a try won't waste much time", he clicked on the icon -
As expected of a gaming mall that is a consumer mecca, as soon as it was opened, dozens of golden lights flashed out, and Yang Xing's eyes were filled with a golden glow, and he was almost blinded by the special effects in front of him.
Ah, it feels so good to be able to pick whatever you want in the mall without spending any money!
He chose a bottle of the most common perfume, which only had the effect of "fragrance", but it was enough.
Spraying perfume outside the door would also attract other people's attention, so he sprayed it a few times in the room and on the little vampire, and then sprayed it again when it faded.
"A-choo--" the child sneezed, "Sir, what is this? It smells... so weird."
"It's perfume, dear." Ye Xuan sprayed the other person again, "It's too dangerous for you to hide here. If you are discovered by the people here, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Sir, thank you for taking me in." The little vampire's voice was soft, and his red eyes had become more accustomed to him after being seen for so long.
Ye Xuan thought this was a good opportunity to extract information: "Tell me, how did I save you?"
"That day, I was walking alone in the forest. Usually no one comes to the area close to the vampire castle, so I let my guard down." The child tried to recall. His originally big round eyes narrowed into two slits, his brows were tightly furrowed, and an unpleasant picture emerged in his mind.
"A strangely dressed human spotted me, and instead of hiding himself, he walked towards me step by step.
"He looked like a villager who lived at the foot of the mountain. Most of the villagers who came up the mountain with an axe on their backs were there to chop firewood. But his expression was not right, and he kept staring at me.
"His axe flashed a silver light, and I took a few steps back. Vampires can be hurt by silver objects, and our self-healing ability, which we are so proud of, will not be of much use." The little vampire still looked scared when he spoke, and there seemed to be tears in his bloodshot eyes.
"Then you are..." Ye Xuan recalled what the villagers who had confessed to him said. Judging from the injuries on the child's body, he must have suffered a lot. The injuries must be serious, otherwise the vampire's self-healing ability would have healed long ago.
Of course, it’s another matter if the weapon is made of silver.
The little vampire recalled that nightmarish day: "I, I was so nervous at that time that I even forgot to turn into a bat and fly away. It was the first time I was found by a blood hunter alone. I had only heard of such scenes in stories to scare children before..."
It turns out that this is the "scary" story that the big vampire tells the little vampire. I guess the residents of the village at the foot of the mountain will tell their children the exact opposite.
"I didn't run fast, so the man grabbed me and started boasting to me about his ancestors' 'great achievements' in hunting vampires. I struggled desperately but couldn't escape. He splashed garlic juice on my face and I choked and coughed." The little vampire's face almost turned green when he talked about this part. He still can't forget the disgusting feeling.
Garlic juice? There is actually such a way to defeat vampires... the unexpected "throwing it in the face" method. I have seen the wisdom of people.
"Then, he chopped at me with a silver-plated axe!" The child's face became even paler, much paler than the original "vampire color", almost transparent.
No, can't the modeling be more thoughtful? If it's transparent, it's not a vampire, right? It's a ghost!
"So thank you sir for saving me, otherwise I would have become the 'trophy' for the blood hunter to seek credit and reward." The little vampire suddenly changed the subject, and Ye Xing, who thought he had heard the key and exciting part, was stunned.
Wait a minute, I haven't finished talking yet, why are you so moved?
There's no way. If the child continues talking about this, he might suffer psychological trauma. It's better not to recall such things. I understand.
However, understanding is one thing, but it is still very frustrating to hear a story or an accident only to have it end halfway through.
"Okay, it's all over. Now you have the master to protect you, and you won't be hurt easily anymore." Ye Xuan ruffled the other's fluffy black hair.
"I will recover from my injuries and not cause too much trouble for you, sir." The other party used the puppy eyes skill to act cute, but unfortunately Ye Xing didn't fall for it.
Ye Xuan patted the child's head and said, "You are a little trouble." But his tone was very doting, as if he was really "raising a child."
The little vampire did not reject Ye Xing's behavior. Instead, he rubbed his hand like a real puppy.
However, even though they had perfume to cover up the smell and told the child not to go out, they still faced a big problem in secretly "raising" vampires in the church - food.
You know, vampires mainly feed on blood. Not to mention where to find blood and what kind of animal's blood can be eaten, it is very difficult to eat blood in a church without being discovered by others.
Maoxuewang, blood sausage, duck blood vermicelli soup?
These delicacies that can be easily purchased at ordinary times are obviously not in line with the background of this plot.
But, since it’s a game, how can these rules and regulations become an obstacle?
So, Ye Xing started searching in the mall. Believe it or not, he actually found it. So he quickly placed an order for various blood products and let the little vampire taste them one by one.
The vampire took a bite of this Chinese delicacy and found it unexpectedly delicious!
If food had its own background music and special effects, it would be "dazzling golden light when the lid is opened, heavenly music starts playing, and it's so delicious that it seems to float to the sky."
Ye Xuan looked at the inner thoughts displayed above the other person's head and felt that he should wear a "super chef" hat to suit the occasion.
"How is it?" He asked even though he already knew that the child liked the taste of the food.
The little vampire raised his head and slurped a mouthful of vermicelli. "It's delicious! Sir, I used to just suck blood and never thought that blood could be used to make so many things... What are these?"
She dared to eat it without even asking what it was. Was she trusting him or was she just too careless? It's really not easy to grow up to this size.
"By the way, how old are you this year?" Vampires have a much longer lifespan than humans, and this child looks no more than fourteen years old. Maybe...
"One hundred and seven." The little vampire was chewing a piece of duck blood and said vaguely, "This is the calculation method of you humans."
Yes, I heard that vampires are a race that can find a hundred years have passed when they wake up from a sleep.
Hey, if this child "falls into eternal sleep", how can he complete the task?
After the meal, the child stopped moving. Ye Xing thought the game was stuck, but when he looked more carefully, he found that the player had logged off.
That’s fine, now I have a reason to take a break.
He called Sister Lin in his address book and asked her to let him out.
The way for this real NPC to go offline is quite troublesome. He is either "kicked" out by the system or "carried" out by others. It is not under his control at all.
Forget it, just be content with not having to clock in. Of course, if there is a more convenient method, he will definitely give it a thumbs up.
…
After logging off, Ye Xing sorted out the information of the second NPC on his computer.
There are some imaginary religious elements. The priest he plays and the little vampire he adopts are supposed to be in opposing camps. Ordinary villagers are afraid of vampires, but in addition to the paladins, there are also villagers who hunt vampires.
If the "Blood Hunt Mission" I saw in the forum before refers to this mountain, then the name of the mountain must be "Misty Mountain".
There is a village at the foot of Misty Mountain, the church where he is located is halfway up the mountain, and the castle of the little vampire is probably on the top of the mountain. The villagers would not go that high up when they go up the mountain to chop wood, and the child met the blood hunter at a place higher than the church.
Ye Xuan analyzed the known geographical relationships and roughly drew a picture using the drawing software that came with his computer system. Although it was ugly, at least he could understand it.
The child used the word "alone" twice when recalling, emphasizing the state of being alone... a vampire. Perhaps it was because he usually traveled with others, and combined with his behavior of staying with the priest because he had the castle and could not go back, it was possible that he ran away from home or was kicked out.
Ye Xuan wrote down these points in a document, and after typing, he opened the physical manual with a bookmark in it and read it.

There is a hint this time?
But what does this “flight” mean?
