Chapter 759: Chapter 386 Meeting Brandt_2

"Actually, what the other party fears may not necessarily be the Ghost Captain." At this moment, the man in the sunglasses spoke again.

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Based on where we found the two pieces and the situation at the scene, they were discarded casually, which indicates that the person left in a hurry and didn’t have time to take any action. Most importantly, these two pieces were not picked up by the Ghost Captain, but were found by us first. This shows that the Ghost Captain was not around." The man in sunglasses elaborated: "So, the question is, if the Ghost Captain wasn’t there, what was this person afraid of?"

After saying that, it went quiet.

The man in sunglasses looked up and noticed that everyone was still waiting for him to continue his analysis.

"Ahem, according to the information we have, this is all we can speculate..." the man in sunglasses hurriedly said, then turned to a subordinate: "Have you managed to contact the original poster?"

"No, they haven’t accepted our friend request, and they haven’t responded to our messages." The subordinate replied.

"As expected..." The man in the sunglasses nodded, which was just as he expected.

Everyone else exchanged glances, the fact that this person dared not reply, exactly confirmed the man in sunglasses’ analysis to a great extent.

"If your guess is correct, then, this map should also be real."

The Tyrant looked at the enlarged blueprint on the projector: "This is good news for us. In this way, we have gathered the line of one, two, three, six and five, now we just need to defend the number one entrance and wait for all the pieces to come together."

...

Mu You was unaware that the Crimson Dawn had already figured out most of the story behind the incident.

Currently, he and Lin Xue were discussing this post too.

However, because they had more information, the conclusions they reached were different from those of the Crimson Dawn.

"It seems that Red Sleeve released this map to speed up the opening of the City of Eternal Night..."

This was the conclusion Mu You and Lin Xue drew after their discussion.

Red Sleeve and the old man who rescued her should currently be hiding in Dawn City, which has yet to reveal itself to the world, to avoid the Time Guards. As such, they had to eliminate anything that could reveal their location, including the map pieces.

Now, the fact that they intentionally publicised the number five map couldn’t possibly just be out of a desire for revenge, there must be a purpose behind such an important decision.

Considering the current situation, the goal isn’t hard to understand: they probably realised that the competition for the City of Eternal Night has reached a stalemate, and the opening of the city is limited by the Night of No Light. If it can’t be opened within these few days, they’ll have to wait another month. To break this deadlock and speed up the opening, they released the map.

The problem now is: what benefits do they gain from speeding up the opening of the City of Eternal Night?

Only they could answer that question, guessing would lead to nowhere.

Mu You shook his head, closed the post, and logged back into the game.

With the release of the map, this is equivalent to directly helping the Crimson Dawn obtain a core piece. With that, the Crimson Dawn should have gathered all the pieces for the number one entrance route, shifting the advantage over to their side and putting him on the defensive.

Now, Mu You has no choice but to make some actual moves to change the situation: he plans to go to the Vampire Duke first and talk directly.

[You appear in a dark alley of the Dark City.]

[There is silence all around. You cautiously check your surroundings, but you don’t find any signs of an ambush...]

Upon logging in, for once, he wasn’t attacked by those minor wolves.

This was normal, with the absolute advantage, the other party doesn’t need to do anything; they can just wait patiently for the entrance to open.

Mu You controlled his character to leave the alley, selecting ’Go to the Duke of Brandt’s residence’.

These past few days, following May around to visit the other vampires, Mu You had familiarised himself with where the vampires lived.

Unexpectedly, just as he had walked out, two people stopped him.

[You leave the alley.]

[Two bats fly toward you from ahead, land in front of you, and transform into two Blood Servants belonging to the Vandro Clan, and they politely bow to you.]

["Sir Liston, the Duke has requested your presence." One of the Blood Servants said with a smile, gesturing with his hand.]

Mu You blinked in surprise, just as he was about to go find the Vampire Duke, the Duke had found him first?

Having said that, the post about the piece on Earth’s side had just been released not long ago, andhe received an invitation here immediately. Could it be...

Mu You seemed to have had a hunch, said nothing more, and controlled his character to follow the two Blood Servants.

[You follow the Blood Servants, arriving at the Vandro Clan’s residence - an inconspicuous courtyard on the periphery of the Dark City.]

[After being questioned by a vampire at the gate, you’re permitted to enter the courtyard.]

[Stepping into the courtyard, you immediately notice a colorful vine in front of the courtyard. This is a valuable ornamental plant, one of the few magic plants that can grow in an underground environment.]

[Brandt, his hair completely white, dressed in a simple robe and leaning on a cane, stands under the vine. Hearing the noise behind him, Brandt turns his head to look at you, his expression kind.]

["Duke Brandt, I heard that you were looking for me?" You approach him and speak.]
