24 Truth Everything
After asking a maid in the castle, Jiang Xiaotan took Eveli to the guest room at the other end of the castle.
At first, Eveli could barely hold on, but after taking a few steps, she almost collapsed on Jiang Xiaotan.
"Evely, are you okay?"
The huntress didn't respond. She seemed to be asleep or in a coma.
Jiang Xiaotan picked her up and carried her all the way to the guest room.
When the huntress was gently placed on the bed, she murmured softly, which made Jiang Xiaotan feel a little relieved.
Probably...drunk, right?
Jiang Xiaotan covered Eveli with a quilt and quietly exited the room.
He was going to the kitchen to make a glass of ginger juice for this drunken girl.

At this time, in the "Stigmata Skin" guild, General Manager Haite had already finished dinner. He was handling the accounts in the warehouse and was ready to go to bed.
"Butler." A servant knocked on the door and came in. "Just now, a man in black clothes sneakily brought this to you outside the door and said he would give it to you."
He placed a stack of letters in front of the steward.
"Is this... has it been deciphered?"
Haidt recognized it. It was a cipher text letter entrusted to the Assassin's Guild to decipher.
Thinking that the guild leader was not around, he put it aside and prepared to give it to Baldwin the next morning.

Jiang Xiaotan turned around and found the kitchen of the castle, where a chef was coming out with a plate.
"Excuse me, can I make a cup of ginger juice?"
"Please feel free to take it. Do you need my help?"
"No need, I can do it myself."
Jiang Xiaotan found ginger in the kitchen. He crushed the washed ginger in a mortar, then carefully filtered out the ginger juice, and added a little honey.
It's a pity that I couldn't find garlic in the kitchen. Adding a little garlic juice will have a better effect on hangover.
After leaving the kitchen with the prepared ginger juice, he suddenly noticed something strange.
When he entered the kitchen, he could still hear the music coming from the banquet hall.
But now there is no sound at all, and the surroundings are eerily quiet.
——————
At the same time, General Manager Haite stretched himself after handling the accounts. He felt that it was still early, so he picked up a deciphered cipher text letter and started reading it.
After only reading a few lines, he suddenly became nervous, sat up straight and read the letter carefully.
After reading this letter, Manager Haite's hands trembled slightly, and he grabbed a few more letters.
After taking a cursory look at the contents, he immediately jumped up.
"Come on, people! Call the strongest people in the guild! Let's go find Master Baldwin!"

Jiang Xiaotan found that the chef he was talking to just now collapsed at the door of the banquet hall.
He took a deep breath and stepped forward, tested the chef's pulse with his hand, and found that the man was still alive, but fell into a coma similar to Evely's.
The eerie silence made him wonder if he should call for help.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came from the banquet hall.
Jiang Xiaotan put down the chef's hand and walked softly to the door of the banquet hall.
The lights were still on, but the guests were lying on the floor in a mess, and the musicians were slumped on their chairs holding their instruments.
There was only a woman in dark red clothes walking through it, and the boots on her feet made a clicking sound.
From Jiang Xiaotan's position, he could barely see the person's profile, and he suddenly realized that it was not a woman.
That's the lord.
Duke Constantine wearing dark red female clothes.
After seeing this scene, a series of recent events suddenly connected together.
Jiang Xiaotan took a deep breath, quietly raised his right hand, and pointed it at the Duke.
'If you guessed wrong, just go and apologize. Anyway, the [Demon-Breaking Arrow] will not harm humans.'
As soon as this thought fell, the runes were condensed and golden arrows shot out.
When the arrow was about to hit the Duke, the light suddenly became much dimmer, and the arrow seemed to be a lot shorter in an instant, but the arrow still penetrated into the Duke's back.
A wail that was too shrill to sound like a human voice broke out, and the Duke turned to Jiang in pain and laughed.
"It's you again! I was looking for you!"
Jiang Xiaotan immediately retreated and ran along the corridor.
"Family! Chase him!"
The two guests who were lying next to the Duke suddenly stood up in a strange posture. Their eyes radiated red light and they quickly ran out of the banquet hall, chasing after Jiang Xiaotan.
The noble prince suddenly turned around at the end of the corridor, raised his hands flat, a fireball in one hand, an ice pick in the other, and two spells with different attributes flew out.
The vampire on the left was directly blown away by [Explosive Fire Bomb], while the vampire on the right was turned into an ice sculpture by [Freeze Technique] and then shattered, leaving only the debris.
He fled to the corridor, firstly because he didn't have the silver sword and dagger with him, and secondly because he was afraid that innocent people would be affected.
After killing the two dependents, he maintained the posture of casting spells and pointed his hands at the door of the banquet hall.
As soon as the dark red figure appeared, two spells flew out almost simultaneously.
However, the ice flakes scattered and the flames were extinguished, but Duke Edmund remained unscathed. He covered the pendant on his chest with his left hand and stretched his right hand forward, seemingly blocking the [Explosive Fire Bomb] and [Ice-Sealing Technique].
"Why don't you try lightning strikes again?" the Duke said contemptuously.
"That trick has been tried, but it doesn't work for the lord."
As Jiang Xiaotan spoke, he changed his gestures and two [Demon-Breaking Arrows] flew out.
Although the golden arrow still dimmed when it was about to hit the Duke, compared to the completely ineffective elemental magic, the [Devil Breaking Arrow] still caused a certain amount of pain to the Duke.
"Ugh! Stop using your ridiculous magic!" Despite roaring like this, the Duke still took out a shield from behind.
The next two [Devil-Breaking Arrows] that flew past were blocked by him with his shield.
"Well, Lord, let's call it a truce. Let me go. I won't tell anyone what happened tonight."
As Jiang Xiaotan said this, the [Demon-Breaking Arrow] in his hand kept flying out.
"Are you negotiating terms with me?"
"Yes, we are all rational creatures. Since we can negotiate, why do we need to fight each other?"
Your noble master never stopped talking as he spoke. He understood the principle of "seeking peace through struggle and surviving in peace".
"You killed my son and destroyed one of my Guards Corps, and now you want to negotiate with me?!"
"Tsk."
Although Jiang Xiaotan wanted to say that the vampire army was none of his business, he knew that these words were meaningless.
The other party designed to trick him into coming to the castle, and he probably didn't want to survive.
His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about any way to escape from here and get his silver sword.
At this time, there was a noise from below the castle.
