The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 3 The Duke and the Witcher
On the first night when he took full control of his body, Li Ang didn't sleep well.

I had several nightmares in succession.

The content of the dream was similar, but the mother and daughter of Di's family noticed his strangeness, and the three sisters, whose appearance became hideous, took turns to pierce his body with cold iron hooks and hang him in the air.

The dark red blood gushed out like money, and soon merged into a small river on the ground, while the four mother and daughter laughed happily.

He cried out and begged for mercy, but what he got in return was intensified torture.

Aqina even directly bathed in his blood, saying that it was good for the skin.

It wasn't until early in the morning that Li Ang finally settled down, but before he could sleep for a long time, he suddenly felt something heavy on his body, which made him unable to breathe.

This feeling of suffocation was very uncomfortable, causing Li Ang's little sleepiness to completely dissipate, and he reluctantly opened his eyes.

Then he saw Bella lying on top of him, holding his neck and sucking hard.

And it was already bright outside the window.

Li Ang sighed deeply when he saw this situation. Fortunately, he was a time traveler who knew the inside story. Otherwise, if it had been someone else, he would have been frightened to death when he saw his fiancée crawling on him and sucking blood as soon as he opened his eyes.

Besides, he is not Bella's fiancé. He is clearly just a human-shaped blood bag. If this continues, he will probably be sucked into a mummified body in a short time.

At the same time, seeing him wake up, Bella reluctantly opened her mouth, stretched out her tongue to lick off the remaining blood on her lips, and greeted Li Ang with a smile.

"Good morning, darling!"

"Good morning." Leon responded calmly, reaching out to try to push Bella away from him.

After a few hard pushes, the opponent didn't move at all.

"Hee hee." Bella smiled happily, then continued to kiss and bite his face, neck, chest and other parts, and said vaguely:
"You smell so good."

"I really want to eat you into my stomach bit by bit now, so that we can be together forever!"

Listening to these weird words of love, Li Ang was almost scared to death. Fortunately, Bella was just talking and didn't really say anything.

But this was enough to wake him up. It was not enough to just survive. At the very least, he had to be able to protect himself.

Suddenly, Li Ang thought of a key figure, the Duke who sold him into the castle.

As a businessman, this person plays the role of a guide in the game. He has helped the protagonist Ethan overcome difficulties many times, and many key plot information comes from his mouth.

Paradoxically, the friendship between the Duke and Aqina is also good, and the two belong to a cooperative relationship.

Miranda, the mother goddess who is the local ruler, turned a blind eye to such duplicitous behavior.

In short, he is a character with a mysterious background.

In previous lives, some gamers speculated that the Duke might be the incarnation of the fungus master (the source of the gifted mold), but Capcom (the game production company) explained that he was just an ordinary businessman.

No matter what the Duke's true identity is, Li Ang believes that he must meet this mysterious figure.

Even if he doesn't help himself like helping the protagonist Ethan, he can try to buy something to save his life from him.

It would be better if we could get some information about the original identity from the Duke.

Just do what you say, and Li Ang's execution has always been good.

"Bella, my good wife, can you accompany me for a walk? I want to get familiar with the environment in which I will live in the future."

Bella was very satisfied with his address, her eyes narrowed happily.

"it is good!"

Soon, Li Ang got dressed with Bella's help and walked out of the room where he had been lying for a long time.

As an old player who has already cleared the second week of the game, and has cleared Yun several times, he is more familiar with the castle under his feet than Aqina and her daughter.

He even knows some secret passages that the mother and daughter don't know about.

But now he can only pretend to be stupid, ask questions curiously, and at the same time pretend that he is very weak and has to be supported by Bella when he walks.

After ten minutes of dilly-dallying, one person and one insect walked less than 50 meters.

In the end, as Li Ang expected, Bella lost her patience and left him alone to play elsewhere.

Take it easy!

After all, as a mutant who can transform into a swarm of insects at any time and has a very lively personality, it is really a torment for her to be down-to-earth and accompany Li Ang step by step.

"Bella?"

"Bella, where have you been?"

After calling several times without getting a reply, Li Ang's hanging heart was finally able to relax for a while.

He walked through the promenade full of artworks and oil paintings with ease, and descended the stairs to the first floor of the castle. He didn't forget to rummage through the boxes along the way, even the decorative vases.

Many materials in the game are hidden in these inconspicuous places, and it is no exception now.

When he arrived at the door of the merchant's room on the first floor, Li Ang already had a bunch of things in his arms.

A box of bullets of an unknown model.

Black powder that is likely to get wet.

Dozens of crudely made silver coins engraved with the image of the goddess Miranda.

Looks very transparent white crystal X3.

A lot of messy stuff.

Silver coins are easy to understand and are the common currency in the game; crystals are analogous to gems and can be used to exchange money; sundries and black powder are placed in the hands of the protagonist Ethan, and they can make bullets and even mines. Unfortunately, Leon does not have that skill.

He just collected them with the attitude of giving it a try, hoping to exchange them for something at the Duke's.

Holding this pile of things, Li Ang turned his head and looked to the side.

A few meters away was the door leading to the outside of the castle. It seemed that with just a few clicks, he could gain the freedom he dreamed of.

It's a pity that I can't push it.

There are many mutant servants made by Achina outside the gate, and there are werewolves and living corpses wandering around in the village further away. They don't care if Li Ang is the son-in-law of the Timi Trescu family. If they are caught, they will be punished. good meal.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to leave the castle without a means of self-protection.

Taking a deep breath, Li Ang pushed open the wooden door of the merchant's room. Fortunately, nothing happened, and the Duke's fat body came into view.

Another giant whose size surpasses that of ordinary people.

The Duke may not be as tall as Madam Bachi, but his width is definitely several times that of hers.

The oversized suit, which could fit several cows into it, had the effect of a tight suit, and the three buttons on the chest were so burdened that they seemed about to burst open.

The belly that cannot be covered by the clothes is exposed, and the fat is layered on top of each other, and it feels greasy to look at it even more.

He held a cigar between his stubby fingers covered with all kinds of rings and puffed on it, making it impossible for people to see his true face.

"Ah, what a rare visitor, let's see who is here!"

The Duke drawled his voice, and a kind smile appeared on his fat, oily face.

"Good day, Mr. Vladimir."

"Good day, Mr. Duke." Li Ang hid his true emotions and greeted him politely: "Just call me Li Ang."

"Okay, Mr. Li Ang." The Duke's smile became brighter and his facial features were crowded together.

Li Ang always felt that the Duke's expression was a bit strange, but he didn't have time to delve into it, so he simply went straight to the point and explained his purpose:
"Mr. Duke, I heard from Bella that you are the biggest businessman around here."

"I want to buy something."

The Duke sucked on his cigar, and at the end he took another sip of wine: "Haha, of course, you can get money if you have money, and exchange things if you have money."

“Wherever you can make money, I’ll be there!”

As he spoke, the Duke lowered his body and approached Li Ang. His huge body was like a collapsed mountain, and a terrifying sense of oppression came to his face.

"Then, Mr. Li Ang, what would you like to order?"

Li Ang swallowed unconsciously, trying to remain calm: "How much is this pile of things in my arms worth?"

The Duke did not answer, but joked: "You and your wife should apply for some pocket money."

Without waiting for Li Ang to react, he continued: "You know, no matter how useless something is, it should have its value. What do you think, Mr. Li Ang?"

After saying this, he freed up the hand holding the wine bottle and took away all the things in Li Ang's arms with a gentle grab.

Then casually scattered on the few cases in front of him.

"let me see."

"Miranda's coins, haha, sir, you can't exchange privately minted counterfeit coins for my hard currency."

"Black gunpowder that can be squeezed out of water, tsk, I have better ones here!"

"Bullets? I advise you to keep them for yourself. I'm just a businessman, and I don't like fighting."

In the end, the Duke looked at the messy pile of sundries, expressing disgust beyond words:

"I take back what I just said, garbage should be sent to the garbage dump."

Seeing that the materials he worked so hard to plunder were demoted to nothing, Li Ang kept scolding the profiteers while feeling depressed.

Co-author Ethan can sell anything, but it’s all worthless to me, right?

Should the difference in treatment be so obvious?
"However." The Duke picked up a piece of white crystal, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully: "This thing is still worth a little, I want it!"

He put away the three crystals and swept the table clean with his big, fat hands.

Immediately afterwards, like a magic trick, four things were conjured up neatly on the table.

"Let's choose one, Mr. Li Ang."

"Three crystals can only be exchanged for one thing?" Li Ang vaguely remembered that one crystal in the game was worth thousands of dollars.

The Duke smoked a cigar and looked at him from above: "Why don't you go find someone else?"

You are the only businessman in the game, who else can I find?
Li Ang suppressed the anger in his heart and focused on those four things.

A dark pistol with a bandage on the handle. It looks very heavy and should be genuine.

A bottle of liquid medicine with unknown efficacy.

A dagger with a curved blade and an elegant shape.

and, a badge with a silver chain.

The further he looked back, the heavier Li Ang's breathing became, because the latter two items had extraordinary origins.

The knife, named "Death Flower Short Knife", is an antique inherited from the Middle Ages, and the blade is coated with poison from all over the world.

It also has another use, it is an important tool for killing Mrs. Bashiku.

The poison on the blade can suppress the madam's self-healing ability and throw her body out of balance.

Li Ang didn't know why it was in the Duke's hands, or what the Duke's intention was in taking it out, but Li Ang knew that he absolutely couldn't choose.

At least not right now.

As for the last one, from the moment it appeared, Li Ang's subconscious told him that he must choose this one.

Because its full name is "Wolf School Witcher Badge".
