Chapter 5: Ridiculous Vampires
Ridiculous knight, ridiculous relationship, as a vampire who walks in the backlight, but becomes a knight who takes protection as his own responsibility. Cang Zhen was very curious about what kind of strange vampire would do this.
In the battle a hundred years ago, the Grim Reaper proved his loyalty to Cangzhen with his own life, and now the mustard between master and servant is gone, and Death has become the most trusted butler in Castlevania.
The fact that he only brought the faithful servant of the Grim Reaper with him this time, and that he didn't bring any of the others with him, is enough to prove this.
Just like a hundred years ago, the two of them strolled through the streets of Hakoiwa.
At this time, however, the city where they wandered was no longer located at the outermost gate, but in the middle of a three-digit inner gate. Those who have the ability to establish the guild here are all "celebrities" who have left legends in mythology, and in short, each of them is a strong person to be reckoned with.
The white-haired boy put his hands in the pockets of his trench coat and wandered around the street, casually observing the buildings around him while whispering to the frightening-looking attendant beside him.
"Death, this era is much calmer than when we first arrived in Hakotei. Why can't I see the scene of the Demon King's rage, have they been defeated by the knights of the box court? ”
Cang Zhen carefully observed the expressions on the faces of everyone who passed by. Unlike a hundred years ago, people at that time always had fear and worry in their eyes. But nowadays, people's eyes are full of hope and love for life, because there is no need to worry about what needs to be feared.
"Yes, those 'Hakowa Knights' are indeed very powerful."
The Grim Reaper said with the same emotion.
"What a change. Tell me, what's going on with the so-called 'Hakowa Knights'? ”
Cangzhen sat on a bench on the side of the street for people to rest, nibbling on the barbecue he had just bought.
Nowadays, Hakoniwa is much more lively, and when they first arrived, there were not so many stalls on the street. At that time, the people who came to Hakowa were all powerful gods and demons Shura, as well as their followers.
If it was said that Hakoin was a military town at that time, it is only now a little bit of life.
"The so-called 'Box Knights' is a system established by the last group of vampires who came to the Box Court. Those vampires were bathed in the light of the sun for the first time in Hakoniwa, and in order to protect the city of Hakoniwa that allowed them to soak in the sun, they volunteered to serve as the personnel who maintained the order of Hakoniwa, so they were called 'Hakoniwa Knights'. ”
Although the Grim Reaper had been killed once, he still knew more about Hakotei than Cangzhen.
When the later vampires first entered the court, the Grim Reaper had just been resurrected. In order to expand the power of Castlevania, the Grim Reaper had the intention of wooing them. But before the Grim Reaper could visit, those vampires became the so-called knights of the Boxcourt who maintained the order of the Box, and the Grim Reaper's plan was stillborn.
However, because of this relationship, the Grim Reaper is also secretly watching this vampire.
The knights of the box court are such a thankless job, and the Grim Reaper originally thought that those vampires would definitely not last long before they would be defeated, and then the Grim Reaper would lend a helping hand and integrate them into the system of Castlevania.
It's a pity that there was some deviation in the Grim Reaper's expectations, and this group of vampires not only adapted to the job, but even got the approval of the upper echelons, and obtained the "Ophiuchus", one of the twenty-five "solar sovereignty", and really gained a firm foothold in the box garden.
At this point, the Grim Reaper is also dead in the mind of annexation.
Although I feel a little pity, there is nothing to be annoyed about, after all, it is just a group of low-level blood clans who can't see the light. None of them were afraid of the sun, whether it was Count Dracula before him or the reincarnation of Count Sucang.
"Oh, that sounds pretty capable. Who is their leader? ”
Throwing away the bamboo skewers that did not have barbecue in his hand, Cang Zhen asked with great interest.
The soul fire in the eyes of the Grim Reaper pulsed, and he replied as he recalled: "It is a pure-blooded vampire named 'Leticia Decrea', who reached the position of 'Dragon Knight' at the age of twelve, led the "Hakowa Knight" to protect Hakoniwa City, and recently successfully established the "Class Dominator" system to protect the lower classes, and obtained the thirteenth zodiac house, "Ophiuchus" Sun Sovereignty. ”
"Amazing!"
Even if the positions were opposite, Cang Zhen couldn't help but applaud the vampire little lady.
In the year of the weak crown, he achieved such a great cause, he was really a first-class talent, but it was a pity that he did not use it for himself.
"It's remarkable."
As a subordinate, the Grim Reaper naturally would not object to Cangzhen's praise.
"Where is the community of those vampires located, let's go and see these people."
The so-called fame is better than meeting, after listening to so many descriptions, Cang Zhen is quite eager to see it with his own eyes.
A mere twelve-year-old girl is so powerful that she simply slaps the faces of adults all over the world.
"My master, the headquarters of those vampires is located in a four-digit outer door. In order to facilitate the rescue when receiving the attack of the demon king and calling for help......"
Death said with a slight sarcasm.
"Let's go, then."
Cang Zhen took the lead and walked towards the realm gate.
Although the four-digit outer gate and the three-digit inner gate seem to be separated by a single digit, it is also quite far from the surface of the star.
In front of the realm gate.
"To open the realm gate, we have to go to the lower level. The target is the Fourth Outer Gate, where the vampires are headquartered. ”
After paying the teleportation fee of two gold coins per person, Cangzhen and the Grim Reaper stood on the realm gate and waited for the teleportation to begin.
……
"Huh?"
The person in charge of operating the realm gate let out a surprised sound.
"What's the matter, hurry up!"
Cangzhen urged.
"I'm very sorry, but it seems that there is an abnormal situation in the realm door and it cannot be opened......"
In this case, the personnel in charge of managing the realm gate were also a little caught off guard and seemed quite embarrassed. It's a problem that has never arisen before, and they don't know what to do.
"Realm gates can also have problems, is this kind of thing very common?"
Cangzhen was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood.
"Of course not, this is the first time we've seen anything like this."
The personnel who were busy checking the anomalies of the realm gate shook their heads again and again, if this kind of thing happened often, who would dare to use such an unstable thing.
The realm gate is built by gods and demons, and it won't be like mortal things.
But on the other hand, once something goes wrong, mortals are helpless.
"Oh?"
Listening to the answer of the realm gate administrator, Cang Zhen rubbed his chin, as if he thought of something.
The realm door that has not had problems for hundreds of years is difficult to have a problem, and the quality is definitely guaranteed. It seems to be a simple thing, but Cang Zhen believes that there must be a ghost in it.
There are still people in front of Cangzhen who have just teleported away, but when it is their turn to use the realm gate, it is estimated that the opposite side has blocked the teleportation, maybe something interesting is happening in that vampire headquarters.
"Death, we don't use the realm gate, we teleport over by ourselves. I'm tired, I'm tired, I feel like there's something interesting going on over there. ”
As the saying goes, it's better to be early than to be lucky, and it would be a pity to miss this opportunity.
Greeting the Grim Reaper, Cangzhen unleashed a teleportation spell and hurried to the headquarters established by another group of vampires.
The sunset was so hot that it seemed to burn the blood dry.
This is not an exaggeration, it is a personal experience for those weak nocturnal species.
The streets of the rumored bustling city built by the vampires are filled with fallen vampires, screaming and wailing one after another.
"Hey, isn't it the latest pleasure to greet guests with a wail?"
By the time Cangzhen arrived, the sun had already set for the most part, leaving only a little afterglow of the sunset.
However, even if it is just the sunset, for those nocturnal species, the light is so hot that it burns the blood in the body.
"Please, please save us......"
The vampire who fell at Cangzhen's feet, as if he had seen a savior, struggled desperately and screamed at him.
However, the face that had been scorched and blackened by the sun, dripping with yellow pus, was so disgusting that he turned his head and left without hesitation.
Save?
Why save? Give a reason.
Not to mention that Cang is really the opposite of the demon king, even if he comes to the rescue, he will not receive thanks.
These vampires alone have long been saved from exposure to direct sunlight, and now they are just wailing before they die.
"What's going on?"
The Grim Reaper arrived about three or four minutes after Cangzhen arrived.
"Hmph, it's clear that someone has opened the 'big curtain' of the sky and exposed these nocturnal creatures to direct sunlight, what a weak and fragile poor fellow."
There is no sympathy for these so-called kindred.
He has always considered himself a human being, and even though he accepted the power of the Demon King and transformed into a vampire, his heart is still a human heart. Cangzhen never felt that the other vampires were his own compatriots.
What's more, in the box garden, only people in the same community will be called "compatriots".
"What's going on...... Why...... Why...... It's going to be like this! ”
A delicate voice came from the street next door, and the question full of blood and tears fully showed the fear in her heart.
Although her voice was a little weak, her condition was undoubtedly much better than the guy she had seen lying on the ground.
Rather than stay here and let her ears be tormented by wailing, the owner of the voice that was obviously still in the stage of a young girl made Cang Zhen care more.
"Follow along."
Cang Zhen took the lead and chased in the direction from which the voice came.
The blonde girl dragged her left foot, which had been burned red and black, and ran as hard as she could.
Death's eyes lit up, and the blonde girl was the object they were about to observe, the vampire princess Leticia Decrea, the youngest "dragon knight".
But the first time we met, it was so embarrassing, and it was a pity.
"Where's Kara...... Where's the Knight...... And where are the father, mother, and sister......"
Leticia looked around anxiously, knowing that her body was about to lose her support, but she still refused to leave the place where the sun was shining.
What makes her so persistent?
Is it affection, or is it an incomprehension of reality?

PS: Originally, I was going to add Leticia's plot of crusading against Castlevania in the middle, but when I think of fighting against the Demon King, there are always only two kinds of success and failure. There is not much to say about success, Cangzhen will end the book when he finishes it, and if he fails, Laeticia's experience will be gone. It won't be Dracula, so after struggling for a while, I still think that's it.
