Chapter 018: Joining Forces
获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第018章 联手
To avenge the dozen or so girls who had been victimized, Wang Bo decided to find Dracula.
But this was not an easy task.
Although Agrabah was a city, under the Sultan's rule it enjoyed peace, prosperity, and wealth, untouched by war, so its population was also considerable.
It was around several tens of thousands, even approaching the mark of one hundred thousand.
Therefore, finding a hidden vampire among a hundred thousand people is truly not an easy task.
Even Wang Bo couldn't accomplish this in a short while.
But the longer it dragged on, the more victims there would be.
This made Wang Bo very distressed.
So Wang Bo found Queen Anna.
As vampire hunters for generations, Anna's clan specialized in hunting Dracula and should have been even more familiar with him than Wang Bo himself. Wang Bo believed that with her help, he would surely be able to find Dracula in a short time.
Upon hearing Wang Bo's purpose, Anna agreed without any hesitation.
"But I still have a problem now?" Anna said somewhat hesitantly.
"What trouble?"
"My identity."
Wang Bo suddenly understood. What Anna meant by her identity was of course not her identity as a vampire hunter, but her identity as the queen. As the queen of Agrabah, the Sultan would never agree to her leaving the palace to deal with Dracula.
"Don't worry, leave this to me!"
Wang Bo patted his chest confidently and gave an affirmative answer.
Anna nodded, shed her cumbersome court dress, and changed into a light outfit, with a curved knife tucked at her waist, like a battle-hardened huntress.
In fact, she was indeed a hunter, a hunter who specialized in hunting vampires.
Wang Bo was about to leave the palace with Anna when palace guards and maidservants on patrol discovered them. Sensing trouble, they hurriedly reported to the king.
So Wang Bo and the queen were stopped at the palace gate by the Sultan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. With him came Hajin and Princess Jasmine.
"Jia Fang, where do you want to take my queen?" the Sultan said, looking at Wang Bo with displeasure. He was very angry now, but that was to be expected.
The queen was his wife, yet she was taken away by his minister.
If not for his fear that Wang Bo was a sorcerer, he would have already shouted at him in reprimand, or even planned to have his subordinate Hakin simply cut the man down.
He was not willing to wear a green hat—a symbol of cuckoldry.
Anna stepped back, watching Wang Bo with interest, intending to see how he would solve this problem.
This man was simply too mysterious in her eyes. She desperately wanted to know what other cards he had up his sleeve to turn everything around.
Wang Bo's solution was very simple. He took out the Demon Passport and waved it in front of the king and his entourage. "I'm going to take the queen to catch Dracula now. You'll forgive me, won't you?"
The Sultan said helplessly, "Alright, Jafar, but just this once."
Neither Huck Finn nor Princess Jasmine objected.
Wang Bo put away the Devil's Passport with satisfaction, admitting that sometimes Doraemon's gadgets were really too useful.
Anna was stunned.
Since when was the king so easy to talk to? Or was there something wrong with what Wang Bo had in his hand?
"Let's go." Wang Bo said to Anna, and strode forward. Anna nodded and followed.
"Wait." At that moment, Princess Jasmine, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "I want to go with you, to catch that monster together."
"I disagree!"
The Sultan immediately roared. Although he was completely infatuated with Anna, he was still a qualified father. Upon hearing that his daughter wanted to go on an adventure, his first reaction was to stop her.
Wang Bo said, "Yes, I also disagree!"
Anna could at least track Dracula, but what could Princess Jasmine do?
Striking a pose, causing trouble, or holding everyone back.
As for pleasing the eye, to be honest, having the queen alone was enough. After all, Anna was indeed a great beauty; otherwise, she wouldn't have charmed the king so completely.
"Yes, Princess, this matter is no small thing. Please do not be willful." Even the king's guard, Hakim, tactfully offered his opinion.
Over the unanimous opposition of the three, Princess Jasmine returned to the palace in a huff.
She felt like a canary, denied freedom.
But such is the fate of being a royal princess.
Wang Bo and Anna bid farewell to the Sultan, who looked reluctant to see them go, and plunged into the crowd to track down Dracula.
On the way, Anna couldn't help asking, "How did you do it?"
"What?"
"I mean, how did you just do that? Why did the king so easily agree to let you take me out? Was it because of that thing in your hand?"
"Yes." Wang Bo did not hide it, and said with a hint of pride: "That thing is called the Demon's Passport. It has a very interesting ability: no matter what bad things you do, as long as you hold the passport, you will be forgiven. With it, even murder and arson will be forgiven."
Anna said with a grave expression, "This thing is far too dangerous. How could there be such a terrifying object in the world?"
Wang Bo said calmly, “In the myriad worlds, there are too many wondrous things. The Demon Passport is nothing at all. Not to mention others, just the Magic Lamp alone—its miraculousness far surpasses that of the Demon Passport. The two are not on the same level.”
If one were to choose between the Divine Lamp and the Demon Passport.
Probably few fools would choose the Demon Passport.
Anna nodded, accepting Wang Bo's explanation, but she still cautioned: “You should be careful with that thing—it's not something to take lightly. And you should keep it safe; if it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences would be disastrous.”
Wang Bo nodded.
"Alright, enough of that. What we need to do now is find Dracula. This is your territory now, Queen."
"Call me Anna." Anna unhesitatingly took charge.
She said, "During the day, Dracula will absolutely not appear, because he hates sunlight; sunlight causes him great harm, so he must be hiding, hiding himself in a dark corner."
"So, what we need to find now are those houses that cannot see the light, or even have no light at all."
"Only this way can we find Dracula!"
Wang Bo did not argue, nodding and saying, "I'll defer to you on this; you're the expert. But we must find Dracula as soon as possible, or there will be new victims."
The people Dracula had killed before had nothing to do with Wang Bo, so Wang Bo didn't care.
But this time, because of his negligence, Dracula escaped and killed someone, leaving a lump in his throat.
