Chapter 5: Ranking Battles

I don't know where to start, the lights in the castle began to flicker uneasily.

In the banquet hall, the crystal chandeliers on the ceiling above everyone's heads suddenly made a soft sound of colliding with each other, as if they were a little shaky under an unknown force.

The servants who came with the dining cart didn't even arrive at the door of the venue, as if they had already sensed something.

They stopped their movements directly, and they all fell to their knees one by one in the corridor of the aisle.

"The food... Gollum, my food, why don't you bring it up! ”

"Be quiet, fool! Don't you understand the current situation. ”

"Kiku... Ammonite? Grunt... What is that? Is it OK to eat? ”

"Baron Willen is really angry now, and so is that Miss Irene, if she has to confront her father at such a juncture, I'm afraid she will be miserable tonight."

"Kid, Gollum... Contradicting your father? For these disobedient bad offspring, direct, grunt ... Wouldn't it be nice to kill it? Baron Will doesn't want to, I, I can help him..."

Staring at the vampire girl who was guarding Liao Qi in front of him, the tentacles of the tentacle demon waving in the air gradually turned pink, obviously already excited.

As for the other non-humanoid monsters in the venue, they obviously didn't get there well.

"Human! I'm going to ask Baron Will to leave that human to me! Let me smash his head with a mallet! ”

"A bloodline with fine skin and tender flesh like Miss Erin, especially those slender legs... It must taste delicious, right? ”

"Hmph, this banquet is much more interesting than I imagined, I didn't run away from the territory in vain..."

Although they are not as exaggerated as the tentacle demons, in the face of the conflict in front of them, the bloodthirsty impulse hidden in their instincts still makes them restless again.

It's just that because of the warnings of the tuxedo men a few times before, and because of the fear of the other party's strong strength, a group of monsters didn't cause much confusion anymore.

Smack...

The boots slammed on the floor with a crisp sound.

As the focus of the monsters in the audience, the tuxedo man didn't say a word after watching his daughter's actions, but left the stairs of the ancient castle and walked in the direction of Liao Qi and Erin.

With each step the other party took closer, Liao Qi could see that the trembling frequency of the blood clan lady in front of him increased by one point.

In the end, until the tall body of the tuxedo man stopped in front of Erin, the girl directly knelt down.

"You're in... Rebel against me? ”

Baron Willen, the tuxedo man, the current head of the Blood Clan, lifted his daughter's white chin as he knelt on the ground.

In his pair of scarlet eyes staring at Erin, there was a violent aura.

"No... Don't dare, father! The girl replied hurriedly.

"There's a reason why my daughter won't let you kill him now."

Afraid that her father would misunderstand something, Erin immediately explained the second half of the sentence.

"In another month, it will be the ranking battle that the "Academy" will hold in the Demon Islands. ”

"As a representative of the blood clan, if my daughter's strength plummets during this period, I am afraid that the ranking of the entire blood clan will be affected at that time."

"Considering the interests of the entire family, I beg you to let my family go first."

A vampire can only have one clan in his life, and once the clan dies, the vampire who is its owner will definitely suffer a heavy blow, although he will not die.

Moreover, this damage is irreversible.

It is precisely because of this that Liao Qi dares to continue to pretend to be weak, because in a sense, his life has been tied to this vampire girl called "Erin".

Therefore, as long as the tuxedo man still has concerns and does not want to destroy his daughter, it is impossible to kill him.

But...

The father's various behaviors before made Liao Qi begin to seriously doubt his judgment.

It seems that monsters can no longer be measured by human standards....

After all, how can a father do this to his daughter?

Ghost father!

All kinds of thoughts flashed in the blink of an eye, but fortunately, after Erin's explanation, the murderous aura on the tuxedo man opposite suddenly decreased a lot.

"The ranking battle held by that "academy"..."

After repeating Erin's words, the tuxedo man let go of his daughter's chin.

Similarly, the expressions of the other humanoid monsters on their faces were different from the inexplicable expressions on the faces of the non-humanoid monsters, and they all became very surprised after hearing the "ranking battle".

Even William, who has been sneering at the corner of his mouth, with the mentality of wanting to gloat and watch a good show...

The face of the younger brother of the head of the blood clan was also gone, and the relieved look when he saw Erin summoning a waste wood human clan.

"That 'academy' chose you as the representative of our bloodline? ”

It can be seen that even the tuxedo man is a little unconvinced and asked again.

"Yes, father."

Seeing that the situation had finally eased, Irene's chest, which had risen and fallen violently because of nervousness, finally calmed down.

"However, you have only just come of age today, and if you follow the tradition of that "college" over the years, how could you have chosen you as your representative? The tuxedo man was still skeptical.

"My daughter doesn't know about that, but... That's what "academy" means. ”

Erin deliberately bit the word "Academy", as if these two words had a lot of weight in the hearts of every monster.

In this way, after a long silence, the tuxedo man spoke again:

"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier?"

"I... I'd like to save it as a surprise and say goodbye at this birthday party..."

Before Erin could finish half of her sentence, she was directly interrupted by a wave of the tuxedo man.

Liao Qi could see the girl's expression darkened, but after that, she just pursed her lips silently, obeyed her father's order, and stopped making a sound.

"What... What is, Gollum... Ranked battles? ”

"Why do you have so many questions, you idiot, do you want me to tell you every time?"

"Tell me, it's a big deal if you come to my lair tonight, and I'll help you get it... Get it once, Gollum...."

In the corner of the banquet, a monster with a human female upper body and a giant python on the lower body glanced angrily at the tentacle monster beside her, waving its tentacles.

After that, she seemed to think of something, her face flushed a little unnaturally, and then in a somewhat reluctant tone, she still explained:

"Unlike you and me, there are no monsters of a huge race..."

"Demon races such as the Blood Clan, which have a large number of clansmen, rely on this ranking method to determine the distribution of resources on the archipelago in order to avoid large-scale conflicts between different groups."

The ranking battle is initiated by the "Academy" as a third party, allowing the offspring cultivated by each clan to enter the closed area to compete, and finally use their results to determine the ranking of the group to which they belong. ”

When this monster with a snake tail said this, she put her gaze back and forth on Erin and the human clan behind her, that is, Liao Qi, and kept wandering.

After this, she shook her head regretfully, and her voice changed, and she said in a regretful tone:

"It stands to reason that a vampire like Miss Erin, who has just come of age, shouldn't be selected as a representative, but the "Academy" will do this, also taking into account the talent and strength of the other party..."

"Originally, I was younger, but with the strength that Miss Erin has shown, it's no problem to get a good ranking, but now..."

"Summoned such a family member who dragged his feet, then it is not necessarily."
