Chapter 0553 Inside the Banquet Hall
By the time Grim stepped out of the black carriage, the banquet in the Rose Manor had already begun for a long time.
Due to the hurry, Grim did not have time to make more arrangements, so he had to rent a four-wheeled carriage in a nearby city to rush to the rose manor.
Instead of wearing the eye-catching wizard's robe, Grim also changed his outfit, wearing a wig, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a long black double-breasted gown. coupled with his black hair and black eyes, in addition to being gentle and elegant, he also has a trace of dignity and arrogance that is difficult for ordinary people to detect.
It happened so suddenly!
Although he had already told Mary not to get too close to that Lester, he only needed to gather some simple information about him on the periphery. But apparently Mary did not do what he was told.
The existence of the bloodline shackles made Mary stay at the level of the Tier 1 Elite for too long. In particular, Grim's smooth promotion to the second rank deeply stimulated this competitive female vampire.
Although the two are already a close couple openly and secretly, the strong thoughts etched in Mary's bones have not been eradicated. Therefore, she also has a far more than ordinary enthusiasm and motivation for hunting Leicester.
But unfortunately, just as Grim's hunting plan was in full swing, a terrible piece of news came back.
That Lester even advanced to the second rank and became a terrible vampire earl.
This...... Apparently it is far beyond what the original hunting plan could handle!
A Tier 2 vampire who kills with impunity will be able to pull up an army of servants made up of pure blood slaves and derivatives in less than a month. And if a vampire family goes all out, it can turn the entire central part of the continent into a vampire world within half a year.
It's a pity that under the supervision of the Scattered Tallinn Wizards Association, no vampire family dares to go so crazy. If they only concoct a few descendants or blood slaves in their own territory, no wizard will intervene. But once they extend their tentacles into someone else's territory, they will attract the combined attack of all the wizards.
What's more, vampires live by sucking the blood of intelligent beings. If all the people in your realm become blood slaves or tokens, they will be in an embarrassing situation where they have nothing to eat.
Under the control of these two causes, all vampire families living in the wizarding world live an extremely disciplined life, and strictly control the number of blood slaves and derivatives in their territory. Because of this, the lives of the people in their territory are almost the same as elsewhere, so there have been no widespread exodus for fear of vampire lords.
But the dormancy of the vampires does not mean that they are weak!
If a comprehensive evaluation can be made, then vampire wizards even occupy a position in the middle and upper reaches of all wizards of the same level.
They may not be the most powerful, nor the fastest, nor the most defensive, but ...... But they are the most cunning!
All vampire wizards have common strengths and weaknesses.
The advantage is that it can run fast, can transform into a bat, is good at stealth, and the biggest advantage is that the recovery power of blood sucking is amazing.
As for the disadvantages, it is admittedly weak in attack power.
In the face of opponents of the same level, vampires generally have weak attack power, and can only rely on lifesteal recovery to slowly wear off the opponent's attack power and defensive sorcery.
It is precisely because she knows that second-order vampires are difficult, Mary, driven by the instinct of a restless vampire, actually wants to sneak up and spy on Lester. Not surprisingly, of course, her actions were noticed by the other party!
After 5 days of chasing and fighting, Mary, who was affected by the blood instinct, couldn't show her ability at all and was captured alive by the other party. After examining the blood in Mary's body, that Lester couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
To put it mildly, this descendant of the mysterious bloodline who came out of nowhere is simply astonishingly well developed in his origin bloodline. It is even polite to say that this level of development has caught up with Leicester before the promotion.
This means that the success rate of this defeated and captured foreign blood girl advancing to the second level is amazing.
And the main reason why the other party has not been promoted for a long time is still on the shackles of blood. Now that Lester has advanced to the 2nd rank, the upper limit of the bloodline shackles has been loosened, and this mysterious blood girl can be considered for promotion as long as she adjusts it for a while.
Bloodline backlash is terrifying, but as a vampire family, they also have a lot of means to control this non-pure-blood bloodline alien.
Therefore, not wanting to waste Mary, a good blood thug, Lester did not put her to death on the spot. Instead, he brought her to this Rose Manor, and was going to wait for the business to be done here, and then bring Mary back to the Blood Castle slowly*.
Time was too short for Grim to plan slowly, so after getting the news, he could only hurry to the rose manor.
Grim's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the waiter waiting at the door.
To tell the truth, Grim's dress was not very luxurious, and the four-wheeled carriage he rode in was even more inconspicuous among the many luxurious carriages, and even looked a little shabby.
However, when Grim stood proudly in front of the gate of the manor with his hand on the breast, the surging momentum made several attendants present immediately realize that a big man had descended.
Although Grim has tried his best to restrain his mental coercion, there is still a threatening aura that is difficult to hide in his speech and demeanor, and even between his eyebrows and eyes.
"My lord, I don't know what ...... you are" The chief waiter who can greet guests at the door also has the status of a blood slave on the periphery of the Vic family, which is almost equal to the middle-level nobles of the local magnates. In an ordinary wizard family, it can be regarded as the identity of a wizard's apprentice.
"Grim!" Grim didn't say much, but simply announced his name.
The lonely name, not even a family title, the chief waiter in charge of the reception not only did not despise it, but became more and more cautious and respectful.
This is the Wizard Continent, and wizards have always been respected.
And most of the wizards who worked their own only had a personal name, not a family name. This is in stark contrast to the wizards cultivated by those wizarding families, but no one dares to take these wizards lightly.
At first glance, this visitor was not an ordinary person, and he did not have a family name, so the well-informed chief attendant immediately realized that this was a wizard whose identity had been hidden.
In the entire wizarding continent, any manor or castle is welcome to visiting wizards!
So, with a loud announcement, Grim passed through the tall and wide gate and entered the banquet hall.
Since it was the time when the band was playing cheerful and light-hearted music, and many young aristocratic men and women were competing on the dance floor, Grim's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.
Only the chief attendant waved a squire and muttered a few words in his ear, and the latter hurried to the main building of the manor.
…………
Since coming to this mysterious wizarding world, Grim has also participated in a lot of various banquets. But it was either a half-party, half-trading banquet for the apprentices, or a private banquet for the wizards.
The invited guests are very simple, the purpose is very simple, and the form of the banquet is also very simple, even a little boring.
But like in front of me, countless handsome men and women in bright clothes are chasing and playing with each other, and there is no one who indulges in laughter. And this may be the lifestyle preferred by those shamans who have abandoned the path of witchcraft and have since indulged in carnal desires and worldly power.
Although it is also a banquet hall, it is also divided into an extremely obvious inner and outer field.
The in-house banquet was dominated by the banquet hall on the first floor of the three-story building in the center of the manor, and most of the people who could be in it were the big nobles and top wealthy merchants of the major cities. Of course, there are countless carefully selected noblewomen and beautiful girls.
The middle and low-rise aristocrats could only gather in the lawn, flower hall, botanical garden and boulevard near the main building. Here, they can also meet a lot of 'big shots' who sneak out of the main hall to hunt for beauty, so everywhere Grim goes, the level of excitement and joy is not much inferior to that of the main hall.
Grim wasn't a refining wizard, and he didn't have those perverted muscles that were as hard as iron. But the height of up to 2 meters still gives him a nearly perfect shapely and toned body. Coupled with a well-tailored and well-tailored dress, it added a touch of gentle and elegant temperament and demeanor to him.
He has traveled all the way, and he doesn't have to deliberately hook up, and there have been countless beautiful ladies who have thrown their flattering eyes. Even some bold women stopped him directly, and exchanged with him warmly with spring on their faces.
Although these vulgar ladies and mature women do not have the eye to see through Grim's identity, they can naturally chase the breath of the strong. Even though Grim has reined in the overflowing spiritual power, the huge surging vitality is like a huge magnetic field, naturally attracting these peripheral women.
Grim's eyes swept away, and he knew it.
Half of these women gathered around him were the outer blood slaves of the Vic family. They surround themselves with high-ranking vampires every day, serving them diligently, and gaining their favor by selling their youth and flesh.
And individuals like Grim, who have a strong vitality, are their best targets. Once the prey is seduced to the bed by them, secretly absorbing the life force of the other party while enjoying the bed, this is also the only way for them to accumulate strength and strive to become stronger.
Once their strength breaks through the threshold and they are successfully promoted to the baron, that is, the quasi-witch strength, they can get rid of the status of blood slaves, gain the official recognition of the family, and become internal members of the Vic family.
Therefore, in the banquet hall, I suddenly saw such a tender and delicious 'prey', and almost half of the peripheral female blood slaves of the Vic family were attracted to it, and gathered around Grim to show off their amorous style, showing their coquettishness.
Of course, this is also related to Grim's disguise of his identity as a Tier 2 wizard.
Otherwise, if you give them a hundred more dares, you won't dare to seduce and tease a terrifying second-order wizard so blatantly!
