Chapter 3948: Duke Leopold's Secret
Fortunately, Valcke did not torture the woman to death.
After a moment of silence, the woman, wearing only pitiful clothes, ran away through the door.
The guards in the Duke's Palace seemed to have been accustomed to this scene for a long time.
Two guards came up, grabbed the woman, and took her out of the Duke's Palace.
Zhao Xugang wanted to take this opportunity to sneak into Valk's room.
Suddenly I heard footsteps walking towards this direction.
Zhao Xu followed the sound and saw Duke Leopold coming to the backyard accompanied by a close bodyguard.
He quickly stepped aside.
Prince Leopold arrived outside his youngest son Valk's house and looked around.
Zhao Xu, who was hiding in the dark, saw Duke Leopold's unusual behavior and knew that he must have discovered something.
Fortunately, Duke Leopold did not look towards where Zhao Xu was hiding.
This shows that Leopold did not discover Zhao Xu hiding in the dark.
Leopold ordered his subordinates: "Tracy, those people should have arrived in the country. Tell the guards to be alert and patrolling. Don't let them sneak into the Duke's Palace."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty Duke, I have already ordered you to go down." The close bodyguard named Tracy replied.
Leopold said "Huh!" before opening the door and entering his youngest son Valk's room.
Because the distance was too far, Zhao Xu could not clearly hear the conversation between Duke Leopold and Valk.
Fortunately, Leopold did not stay long in Valcke's room.
After staying for only ten minutes, he walked out of Valk's room.
Leopold said to his close bodyguard Tracy: "Let's go!"
After saying that, the two left Valk's residence.
After Leopold and the two left, Zhao Xu saw that the window upstairs in Valcke Castle was open.
He jumped up and used the strength of his arms to climb over and entered the castle from the upstairs window.
Valk is playing games in the room, and the door is open.
Zhao Xu quietly came behind Valk without attracting Valk's attention.
His hand gently poked the back of Valk's neck, and Valk immediately fell down on the table.
Zhao Xu put on the gloves he had prepared and started rummaging through Valk's room.
After a thorough search, no valuable clues were found.
Valk will wake up soon.
Zhao Xu took the opportunity to sneak out of Valk's room.
After finally sneaking into Duke Leopold's Mansion, Zhao Xu would really not be willing to leave just like that.
So, Zhao Xu walked towards the castle where Leopold was.
When Zhao Xu arrived at the castle where Leopold was, he saw that the lights were still on.
It was already past twelve o'clock in the evening, and Leopold still wasn't sleeping.
Zhao Xu got worried and decided to sneak into Leopold Castle while the other guards were away.
But before Zhao Xu could go in, he saw a maid coming out.
Soon, he walked in holding a rabbit.
Zhao Xu was a little curious. What was the maid doing in the middle of the night with a live rabbit?
So, Zhao Xu went around to the room where Leopold was.
Seeing that the room had been covered with curtains, I wonder if it was due to the servant's carelessness, but a corner of the curtains was still exposed.
So, Zhao Xu climbed onto the street lamp outside the castle.
Standing on the street lamp, looking into the room through the gap in the curtains.
I saw Leopold sucking the blood of the rabbit.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu looked shocked.
I thought to myself: "Does Duke Leopold also have a strange disease? Why does his son Valk bite women every time, and Leopold also drinks the blood of animals?"
At this time, drinking a glass of milk will help you sleep. But I have never heard of anyone drinking animal blood in the middle of the night.
The rabbit kicked its legs in pain, and was tightly held by Leopold's big hands. It couldn't escape even if it tried to escape.
Soon, the rabbit was sucked to death by Leopold and was thrown to the ground.
Zhao Xu saw Leopold slowly walking towards the window.
Thinking that the other party has discovered him.
Just as he was about to dodge and hide somewhere else, he saw Leopold pull open the curtains, open the window, start to face the moonlight in the sky, and start breathing heavily.
Under the moonlight, Zhao Xu could see clearly.
Seeing Leopold's mouth, two pointed fangs were exposed at the top and bottom.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu was so shocked that he almost fell off the street lamp.
Isn't this the legendary "Vampire!"?
Zhao Xu turned his head and looked at the moon in the sky.
See the moon is full.
Could it be that Leopold is absorbing the essence of the moon to practice?
With this discovery, Zhao Xu was sure that Duke Leopold must have special powers.
But Zhao Xu and Leopold were only seven meters apart.
Leopold didn't notice Zhao Xu's existence. This shows that his martial arts strength is not superior to Zhao Xu's.
Otherwise, if someone has the level of cultivation like Xu Lingzhu or Zhao Xu, they will definitely be able to detect Zhao Xu's hidden aura.
Zhao Xu did not dare to act rashly.
Although it was certain that Leopold was not as strong as him, he could not be subdued immediately if he took action.
Then, Leopold would call his men as soon as possible and surround him.
What's more, Fujiwara Norio's number one master, "Tada Hideto", was a guest at Duke Leopold's residence.
Zhao Xu planned to stay on guard until dawn.
As long as Leopold left his room, Zhao Xu would sneak into Leopold's room and search it.
Leopold took in the moonlight for nearly an hour before closing the window and closing the curtains again.
Zhao Xu stood on the street lamp, his feet almost going numb.
Seeing Leopold falling asleep by the lamp, he jumped down from the street lamp.
I accidentally stepped on a dead branch and made a crisp "click!..." sound.
"who?......"
Leopold's voice came from the room, and the lights turned on at the same time.
Zhao Xu hurriedly picked up the broken branch and quickly dodged this place of right and wrong.
Soon, a group of patrolling soldiers hurried over.
Leopold walked out of the room and shouted to the patrolling soldiers: "What happened just now?"
A soldier captain replied: "Go back to the Duke, we have been patrolling nearby and found nothing."
"Everyone, please stay alert. If you find anything, remember to report it to me as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke!"
Leopold carefully inspected the surroundings of the castle and found nothing unusual, then returned to the room and rested under the lamp.
Zhao Xu waited until dawn and saw that Leopold left early in the morning with the close bodyguard named "Tracy".
He sneaked into the castle while the maid was not paying attention.
After successfully entering Leopold's room, a bloody smell hit his face.
Zhao Xu took a look and saw that the rabbit's body had not been disposed of and was thrown into the trash can.
