Chapter 54: Vampire Tales
For most people, the word "vampire" may easily be associated with an image of a vampire sitting in a castle, dressed in gothic style, wearing a top hat and a cape, just like the vampire count that often appears in movies.
But in fact this is a misunderstanding. Vampires aren't all like that, at least not today. Today's vampire aristocrats are all dressed in suits and leather shoes, with slick hair, and they all come and go in places where successful people like Wall Street gather, like old gentlemen.
At this time, such a group of old gentlemen were gathering in a closed conference room and holding an unknown meeting.
"We must face such a grim reality, gentlemen." An old gray-haired vampire said slowly, "The situation in this city has never been worse, and this is probably the worst situation we've ever faced. And the situation is getting worse, and the spread of the storm is rapidly expanding. More and more people will rebel against us, and if this continues, it will eventually turn into war. ”
The expressions of the vampires became very solemn, some of them were contemplative, some of them exchanged ears, and they looked a bit like the top of the country who were responsible for decision-making.
All of you are pure-blooded vampires, the youngest of whom has a lifespan of hundreds of years. They are the elders of the vampires, members of the vampire council, and have been keeping vampire society running for a long time.
"Probably not, right?" A vampire spoke, "We have a pact with the human government, don't we?" We've had peace on both sides for so long, and there's no reason for them to break it, right? ”
"That was before, and now the situation has changed." The old vampire frowned and said, "Now that our existence has been revealed, their government can't ignore everyone's voices. War will become inevitable, and worst of all, we may not be ready for it. ”
Vampires are much stronger than humans, but their weaknesses are all too obvious. If nothing else, the fear of sunlight alone determined that they would never win over humanity.
"And gentlemen, have you all forgotten that we haven't even been able to solve the most urgent problems?" There was a vampire who fretlessly reminded, "Blade." Do we have a little idea now? ”
Everyone was silent.
Blade Warrior, who is rumored to be the child of a pregnant woman infected by a vampire, is a special existence of a half-human, half-vampire. He has both the physical abilities and specialties of a vampire without the weaknesses of a vampire. He is a famous vampire hunter who slays countless vampires under his sword, and is feared by the vampires as the "Daywalker".
The Blade is indeed a sore spot for these old guys, and it can even be said to be a disgrace. There is a huge vampire council, so many vampires, and their main enemy is just a lone knight with a gun and a sword, but after so many years, they can't take such a lone ranger, it's a joke.
"Damn Blade." Someone cursed, "Speaking of which, he also tossed it out this time, right?" That nightclub, the guy who rushed in and slaughtered the entire seventy-nine vampires, that one is also Blade? ”
Someone snorted coldly: "Can there be anyone else but him?" ”
The vampire elders all began to curse, hating the vampire hunter to the core. But what they don't know is that although the grudges between the Blade Warriors and the vampires are indeed too many to be counted, this time it is really not his pot......
The elders scolded enough and then looked at each other again. Scolding is enjoyable, but someone has to solve the problem, and it is very obvious that they can't curse the blade to death if they just sit like this.
Send someone to kill him? Whom will they send?
All the vampires they thought had hope had been sent out over the years, but no one had come back alive.
Now, who can be the match for that Blade Warrior?
At this point, a certain female vampire sitting at the conference table suddenly let out a sneer.
The vampires turned their gaze to her, "Talos, what's so funny?" If you have any good proposals, it's almost time to share. ”
"Me? No, no, there's not much I can do. The female vampire known as Talos smiled softly, "But I think I've found someone who can be the solution." And you probably haven't noticed...... But he has already come. ”
"What?"
At this time, all the vampires suddenly realized that in the middle of the conference table in front of them, a figure had appeared in the middle of the table at some point. It was a rather handsome man, with a pale complexion. He wore dark black leather boots, a wide cloak, and a black coat, and his demeanor exuded the elegance of a medieval aristocracy.
A vampire subconsciously stood up.
"Who are you?"
Talos smiled, "If I were you, I'd be a little more respectful." After all, this isn't just any vampire. This is the legendary 'that' count. ”
The vampire elders thought of something, and their expressions suddenly changed. The image of this man, this royal aura like blood suppression, this elegant demeanor and handsome appearance, everything seems to point to some almost forgotten legend.
It is the most famous legend that has been passed down among vampires, and is a figure that is almost mythologized among vampires. It's just that he's been gone for so long that even modern vampires dismiss his story as a fabricated rumor, a myth that doesn't exist. Even the vampire elders had always thought so before.
Someone's tone changed: "Talos, don't you ......?"
"Yes." The female vampire smiled, "Remember when I said I was going to the desert to find a vanishing legend?" I never got a chance to tell you, but I succeeded. And now, he is standing before you. ”
The vampire elders gasped.
Dracula, the rumored vampire, was even suspected to be the progenitor of all vampires at one point.
"You...... You're the ancestor......"
Dracula looked at the elders indifferently and said calmly, "No, I am not your origin, this is a mistake in your historical records. But I'm who you think you are. I've been asleep for years, and now I'm back, to solve your troubles. So now, tell me ......"
The vampire count narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice.
“...... Where is that 'Blade Warrior', what you call 'Daywalker'? ”
