There are three main factions in the world of the Bloodline.

One of them, the "Hidden Clan", was founded by the first of fifteen third-generation vampires, after killing two True Ancestors and expelling the other three, and is the most "orthodox" faction on the surface. The three precepts of "secrecy", "duty" and "obedience" established by its founder are the absolute rules that many of his "families" agree on, and they are the only rules that can restrain these powerful and unruly vampires. Considering that the vampires belonging to the "Hidden Clan" account for more than seventy percent of the total population of the entire Blood Clan, those who break the rules will be expelled and run into walls everywhere, or they will be hostile to the entire Blood Clan society, and will be constantly hunted down and hunted, which is the situation faced by Nalan Yu.

If we divide it into the nine-square grid of the DND (Dungeons & Dragons) faction, the "Hidden Clan" should be orderly and neutral - good or evil, the law is above all else.

The second is the "Demon Blood Sect", which was founded by some "families" who worship demons, thirst for power, and continue to degenerate, and their followers account for 20% of the blood population. The people in the "Demon Blood Sect" are basically bloodthirsty madmen, and their thirst for killing is greater than anything else. They don't follow any rules, and there is no way to get them to behave. The only thing that could unite them was the founder of the sect, a powerful third-generation vampire, whose indisobedient, absolute power.

If you divide the camps, there is no doubt that the "Demon Blood Sect" belongs to chaos and evil.

The third is the "Wanderer", founded by the second of fifteen third-generation vampires, whose members make up 10% of the total population of the Bloodline. This organization is basically composed of a number of hermits with special skills, including artists, scientists, magicians, and so on. Compared with the first two, the "Wanderer" organization has a clear tendency to be passive and evasive, and its members take advantage of the vampire's immortality to hide in a dark and sturdy fortress for many years, concentrating on academics and not caring about the world. Compared with the ups and downs of the world, those profound knowledge and exquisite works of art can attract them more. Unless the life of the scholar who has no quarrel with the world is disturbed by external objects, they will never take the initiative to interfere in the affairs of the outside world.

The new backer that Nalan Yu found for Suzuki Goro is the "Wanderer". Although there are few people in this organization, all the members in it are elites, and their combat power cannot be underestimated, coupled with its creed of permanent neutrality, the two incompatible "Hidden Clans" and "Demon Blood Sects" have unexpectedly good relations with it. Its camp, without a doubt, is absolutely neutral.

Most of the fifteen third-generation vampires are within these three organizations. Excluding these people, and excluding the "loyal dogs" who followed the expelled True Ancestor and disappeared from history, there were only three people left - Nalan Twilight, Flandrew Scarlett, and Jaeger Extru.

These people are truly unrestrained wild children, but their circumstances are different. Nalan has been adrift for thousands of years, with countless blood debts on his hands, and looks like a lone ranger who is both good and evil, but in fact, he has always adhered to one ideal: to become stronger, and then, to complete revenge. As for Flandoro, she was really crazy when she was crazy, and most of the time, she probably didn't even know what she was doing.

Unlike them, Jaeger is a person who is truly clear-headed and has no baggage. He doesn't belong to any one organization, he doesn't have a specific goal, he just travels the world for fun, travels around, and lives freely.

That's why Sakiya was so surprised when she saw his face. Now that she's not the ruthless vampire hunter anymore, she's not going to do anything across the continent in pursuit of a single target. So, in this vast sea of people, what is the probability of accidentally meeting such an old acquaintance who is also friend and foe?

She vaguely felt that it was no accident that she bumped into Jaeger here, and there must be something hidden in it.

"Recently, I was approached by an amazing big man. ”

Jaeger spoke, and the words he uttered just confirmed Sakiya's conjecture.

"She asked me to do something for her, so I followed her here. You know, I've always been a celibate, and no one should want to keep me with her, but ......," said Jaeger, involuntarily, laughing, "she made me a condition that I couldn't refuse. ”

"What conditions?" asked Sakiya.

"One hundred wild blueberry vouchers, each for one kilogram of blueberries. ”

With that, Jaeger took out a thick stack of paper tickets from his trouser pocket and shook them twice in front of Sakiya, looking quite proud.

"Are you serious?" Sakiya looked at him like a psychopath.

"Of course it's serious, what kind of eyes are you!" said Jaeger, who was obviously dissatisfied, pursed his lips like a child with a tantrum, and defended aloud:

"Listen, blueberries are rich in amino acids, anthocyanins and various trace elements, and are one of the most health-beneficial fruits in the world...... Of course, you are a tasteless servant of a country vampire!"

"I don't think that's the point...... Sakiya smiled wryly, "If you want to eat blueberries, why don't you buy them?"

"Because ......"

Jaeger looked a little embarrassed, lowered his head, pursed his lips, his cheeks were slightly red, he stood there and hesitated for a while, and suddenly as if he had given up on himself, he looked up and glared at Sakuya, and said loudly:

"Because you don't have any money, what's the matter, do you want to laugh at me?"

"No...... I didn't mean that. ”

If you think about it, this guy Jaeger spends most of his time playing around, and he has neither a reliable team, nor has he ever done any job that can make money, and he is penniless...... And rightfully so?

"That's right!"

In order to alleviate the embarrassment and change the topic by the way, Sakiya asked:

"By the way, the one who bought it with a hundred blueberry vouchers...... No, hired your 'awesome big guy', what's her name, can you tell me?"

"Sheila. ”

Jaeger put away his anger and spit out such a name very casually.

"Nozomi ...... What?"

Sakuya suspects that something is wrong with her ears and hears someone else's name as "Sheila". There is only one person with the name "Sheila" in Sakiya's memory, and that one is absolutely impossible to appear here.

Without why, it is absolutely impossible.

"Sheila," Jaeger repeated his previous words and, further, dispelled Sakiya's illusions, "it's the Second True Ancestor, the 'Angel of Death', Sheila. ”

For a moment, Sakiya lost her words, and sat on her knees on the orange-red tiles in a daze, looking up at Jaeger.

She knew that this day would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Sheila is here for one purpose: she's going to kill someone. Jaeger didn't care about Sakiya's mood and continued, "That person is my trouble-making junior, the monster created by the Second True Ancestor himself, the fourteenth of the fifteen third generations, Nalan Twilight. ”

Speaking of this, Jaeger narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"I heard that he seems to be your immediate boss?

"Well...... That means that the next time we meet will be the last battle between the two of us. With that, Jaeger put away the parasol, carried it on his shoulder, turned his back, and faced the sunset that was about to disappear, "After raising the fruit for so many years, it is finally the harvest season, I am looking forward to it, Sixteen Nightsaki Night." ”

Sakuya couldn't see Jaeger's face, she only felt a cold current rushing from the tail vertebrae all the way to the top of her brain, and she was like a little sheep targeted by a carnivorous beast - helpless, desperate, trembling. The setting sun stretched Jaeger's shadow to Sakuya's body, like a huge black mouth, swallowing her whole.

With a small body and a huge shadow, Sakiya seems so small compared to it. She had almost forgotten how she had escaped from Jaeger's hands in those years, and of course, that didn't matter. Now, she understands that it's not how clever she is, it's that the other party didn't want to kill her from the beginning.

He'd raise her, watch her get stronger, and then crush her when she's at its peak, eat her and wipe her clean — something that vampires often take pleasure in their long enough to drive people crazy.

However, in Sakuya's heart, more than the unwillingness to be played with in the palm of his hand, there is more fear of the future. If there is only one Jaeger, the two masters and servants of the Red Devil, plus Nalan Twilight, the power of the three can always bring him down. But Jaeger is just an imminent enemy, a mercenary under his command who is responsible for opening the way.

How to deal with such an enemy, Sakuya can't imagine anymore.

"Well, that's the end of this discussion. Before the real trial comes, please recharge your energy, be prepared, and try not to disappoint me. ”

Leaving this sentence, and Sakuya, who was still in chaos, Jaeger took a step forward, and disappeared silently into the dim afterglow.

"Right...... By the way, the second lady hasn't found it yet!"

After being stunned on the roof for a while, Sakuya slapped his head and remembered his original purpose.
