"Were you attacked?

Will they?"

"No, no, although I don't know how long I was unconscious, it shouldn't have been that long. Otherwise, with the amount of blood I just lost, I wouldn't have been alive until Will and the others arrived."

After the weakness and pain in her body subsided a little, Livia slowly sat down against the wall, and began to think about the current situation and what to do next.

"That's Delon and the others, but logically they should have arrived a long time ago, why are they here only now..." Livia frowned, very confused about what had happened in the castle.

If it were Delon and the others, it would be impossible for them to reach the castle at this time, unless they were intercepted on the way, but it would be impossible for them to be intercepted for so long...

If Delon and his men had already attacked, there would be no cultists patrolling the castle, not to mention the explosion just now...

"Um?

!”

Livia suddenly thought of something, and a flash of inspiration came to her mind.

That's what sneaked in.

Livia thought that everyone in the Shadow Leopard Knights was a shadow force. Although they might not have the strange ability like the black-robed man who attacked her on the street before, at least they should have no problem avoiding the likes of the two cultists just now.

Although she had a general idea, Livia's doubts did not decrease at all, but increased instead.

Although he felt that this was the only way to explain the current situation, there were many things that were wrong and unlikely.

Livia shook her head hesitantly, then her expression became firm.

Why do you think so much? In your current situation, it’s good enough if you can take care of yourself.

Without thinking any more, Livia grabbed Toharne beside her and slowly stood up against the wall.

Huh~ Huh~ Livia was already out of breath just by standing up against the wall. She struggled to insert Toharne into the scabbard behind her, walked slowly to the bed and sat down.

“It still doesn’t work…” Feeling that her body still couldn’t move normally, Livia sighed helplessly.

It's really inappropriate to just stay here. If my side wins, it's fine. But if it's the Blood Mist Sect...

Then I'm really just waiting to die here, that's right.

Livia's mind was immersed in the system as soon as she thought about it.

[Status: 7% (Severe Weakness, Physical Overdrawn, Strength Overdrawn, Bleeding)] Livia scanned the status bar showing a row of debuffs and ignored the attribute interface which had not changed much. He looked directly at the task interface. He wanted to know whether the bloodthirsty crow demon was dead or not. On the way of being teleported by the blood-colored vortex, he forcibly knocked the bloodthirsty crow demon out of the teleportation tunnel and watched it hit the turbulence of time and space and fell into a coma. Perhaps it was because of this that he was teleported to the servant's room where he is now. It seems that the normal teleportation location should be in front of the cult leaders in Coral Castle.

Thinking of this, Livia felt a chill in his heart. If he was really teleported to that place, Livia didn't dare to imagine what he would become. He shook his head to get rid of the horrible thoughts in his mind, and looked at the panel that appeared in front of him.

[Eliminate the blood-sucking monster behind the Kovag murders - the bloodthirsty crow demon (completion degree; 50%)] can be settled.

Rewards: Attribute points × 3, Alchemy skill point × 1, Geralt of Rivia (drink) × 1, Sword Oil - Vampire Oil (permanent privilege).

[The particularity of the mission target has been detected. This mission can be ignored and you can accept the advanced mission to obtain more rewards after completing it.] Hmm?

Was this killed or not?

Completion rate is 50%, not contribution rate?

Looking at the information on the panel, Livia was a little confused for a moment.

Suddenly Livia understood.

It can be resurrected by the creator using his own blood!

A memory emerged in Livia's mind, the memory of the information about the bloodthirsty crow demon that she had seen before.

"So, the advanced mission with 100% completion is to destroy the creator or the blood source?

? "

Just kidding. Livia can now roughly infer that the creator of the bloodthirsty crow demon is most likely the God of Blood Mist believed in by the Blood Mist Sect, that is, the high-level vampire in the records he had read before that even the legendary wizards could not deal with. Isn't this just courting death?

Livia decisively rejected this task information in her heart. Since the task could be settled under the current circumstances, it must be settled. She was just missing the reward.

{Settlement} Livia silently clicked the settlement button in his mind, and then heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the extra attribute points and skill points, as well as the system prompt asking whether to collect the drink.

Without hesitation, I wanted to invest three points in physical fitness. After all, what is urgently needed in the current situation is physical fitness.

[After a single attribute is higher than 20, 2 attribute points can be increased by one point, after 30, 3 attribute points can be increased by one point, and so on, and points can only be increased in whole points.] The information that suddenly popped up in the field of vision interrupted Livia's thoughts.

"What?"

Looking at the message that popped up in front of her, Livia muttered, unable to react for a moment.

Does this mean that more and more attribute points will be spent in the future?

Livia frowned. He understood that his previous plan of improving his physique and becoming an indestructible cockroach had failed. There was no need to think about it anymore.

After carefully pondering the information contained in the message, Livia invested two points in physical fitness.

[Constitution: 20.5] Watching her constitution jump to 20.5, feeling the weakness in her body fade away a little and the pain begin to subside, Livia stood up.

"Huh~" "It seems that attribute points cannot completely become a means for me to become stronger, but skill points can provide me with permanent improvement just like the things in this world."

Thinking of the legendary blood she had seen on Will's hands before, Livia's eyes flashed with brilliance.

Livia stretched his still aching body and invested the remaining attribute points into seal power. Seeing that the seal power in the attribute column had reached 6 points, Livia nodded. The Igni Seal had saved his life several times. In this magical world, he still had to strengthen his "magical means" first.

As for the remaining rewards, Rivia switched to the alchemy page, somewhat unsure of where to invest these skill points. Unlike in the game, he needed to use skill points to develop even basic abilities. This might be because the background of the game's protagonist Geralt was that he had been trained since childhood, while he himself relied on the system to gain abilities.

His eyes fell on the only one with a lit icon, the Rage under the Green Grass Trial. It seemed that this was the most useful one at the moment, but he didn't know whether it could be considered a magic potion.

Livia raised her left hand, a white light flashed in the palm of her hand, and a tightly wrapped wine bottle appeared.

[Geralt of Rivia] General item drinking effect: 5 health points regenerated, 5 health points regenerated in combat.

Duration: 5 seconds.

"Can it restore about 5 points of vitality?"

Looking at the information that was slightly different from the game, Livia quickly understood its function.

“It shouldn’t be considered a magic potion, but this has the effect of restoring vitality…” Livia was a little uncertain for a moment.

"It's better to keep the skill points for now. They won't have much of an effect right now."

Livia sighed, and with a thought, she closed the system interface in front of her.

He pulled out the cork of the bottle in his hand, tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.

Although he wanted to keep it, the current situation did not allow him to keep it. Rather than not having time to drink it during the battle or having it broken into pieces during the fierce battle, it would be better to drink it now to recover some condition.

As a strong smell of alcohol flowed down his throat into his stomach, a warm current slowly flowed out from his stomach and flowed throughout his body. The feeling of weakness in his body gradually dissipated, and the wound on his abdomen felt as painful and itchy as if ants were crawling on it. Livia stretched his arms and looked at the final reward.

[Sword Oil List] Vampire Oil (Permanent Permission): Increases damage to vampire creatures by 10%.

ps: Under normal circumstances, ordinary sword oil lasts for 10 minutes, enhanced sword oil lasts for 30 minutes, and advanced sword oil lasts for 60 minutes.

Is it automatic to apply sword oil? That's fine.

Seeing that the status bar had completely disappeared from severe weakness to weakness due to the increase of two points in physical fitness, Livia became energetic and walked towards the slightly open door, stretching her body.

Squeak~ A tiny sound rang out in the silent and dark corridor.

Livia pushed open the wooden door of the room and walked out of the room. He stood there and thought for a moment while looking at the dark and silent corridor, then walked towards the staircase in his memory. It should be on the left, if he was right about the direction.

His current situation is very embarrassing. The urgent thing now is to find out what the situation is in Coral Castle. Before he knows what the situation is, all the ideas in his mind are unreliable.

After a while, Livia leaned against the wall at the corner of the corridor and stretched her head slightly to look at the spiral staircase with faint firelight.

It seems that I was not looking in the wrong direction.

But there is actually someone guarding it?

Looking at the two figures reflected by the firelight in front of the stairs, Livia frowned deeply.

After a quick observation, I found that the two men in black robes in front of the stairs should not be the two standing directly at the door. None of them were lazy. They were all on duty seriously and patrolling the surroundings. It seemed that the previous explosion made them more vigilant.

well……

I don’t know what was going on down there. There was total silence after the explosion.

Livia sighed silently in her heart.

Seeing one of them turn around and look at him, he quickly shrank back behind the corner.

In this situation, there are still people guarding the place, which means there must be someone guarding the stairs on every floor.

How come these guys have so many people? There is one group on the grassland, another group in the military camp, and another group here. How come so many people have not been discovered?

Livia began to doubt the lord here. It was impossible for a lord to say that he had not noticed the sudden increase in the number of people in the territory...

Just looking at the income and food consumption in the territory, it is obvious that something is wrong. In such a chaotic era, it is impossible not to take these things seriously.

The only explanation is that they already knew about it, but they had some plan and didn't act in advance, or...

Play a long game to catch a big fish. This phrase suddenly flashed through Livia's mind.

well……

As expected, no matter which world the ruling class is in, few people speak openly and are extremely cunning.

Thinking of this, Livia felt a little headache. He rubbed his eyebrows and wondered what to do next.
