As the ruling class of mankind, the aristocracy has developed a luxurious and wasteful habit of life in the land of divine blessings, a superior life, a high position, and a decadent life that has also corrupted the will of the human sages.
In the past, as a member of the mediocre talent of the race of the Divine Blessed Continent, in order to surpass the elves and dwarves, they could only put in wisdom and effort.
For the survival of the human race, the sages opened up their homes, drove away wild beasts, led humans to prosperity step by step, won the recognition of elves and dwarves, and finally became one of the three major races in the continent of Calando.
The descendants of the heroes who followed the sages during the rise of mankind became the aristocratic class of mankind.
Because their ancestors had paid the price for the sacrifices they had made for humanity, the descendants of the heroes should enjoy the offerings of the human race.
The original human aristocracy was the leader and protector of mankind, and later with the changes of the times, the peaceful life made the human aristocratic class more and more degenerate.
At the time of the invasion of the Demon Realm Demon Race, the entire Eastern Continent fell under the bloody brutality of the Demon Race. Although many nobles sacrificed their lives to protect their people, most of them abandoned their people and their territories and fled. And there are very few ordinary people who can really escape.
In the case of losing half of the territory, the human empire was furious at first, and these nobles in the western continent looked down on these cowards in the eastern continent and began to prepare for a counterattack, but they were beaten by the demons in the Hengduan Mountain Range, and if it weren't for the help of the dwarf kingdom and the elven empire, maybe the legions of the human kingdom would have been wiped out.
The Elves lost in the Eastern Continent's Shadow Song Forest did not fall, but were only besieged. The dwarves also guarded their territory unharmed, and only the humans lost half of the country.
Although the human nobles who were frightened by the attack of the demons were still fighting, some of the corrupt nobles began to act in secret, they thought that the Kalando continent would be defeated, so in order to seek a way back, they tried to join the demons and continue to maintain their superior lives after the demons occupied the entire continent.
But the demons do not accept refuge, werewolves with developed limbs and simple minds are not good partners, and vampires with the same appearance as demon humans have become the choice of these human betrayers.
Vampires have a lifespan close to immortality, which has a fatal attraction to the corrupt aristocracy who are greedy for life and fear death, as for sucking blood for a living, there are so many untouchables, a little blood is nothing, even the blood of a virgin is not a problem.
The fallen traitors are still a minority, and under the righteousness of the race, under the pressure of survival, and with the help of elves and dwarves, most of the sober human nobles are still on the side of the Calandor continent's racial alliance.
For those human betrayers who have different intentions, first, they are very hidden and have not yet been exposed, second, in order to maintain the stability of the human kingdom and not to be chaotic, and third, not to let the dwarves and elves know that there are changes within the human race. So it's all hidden in the dark.
It wasn't until Wang You accepted the task that he understood the filthiness in it.
"Okay, what do I need to do?" Wang You said that he was not surprised that there were betrayers in this kind of race war, selfishness is the nature of human beings.
"Secretly find a hidden vampire?" Bishop Flender said.
"What's the clue?" Wang You asked.
"It should be among the nobles of the Eastern Continent who have fled back." Bishop Frende said with a look of certainty.
"Who's most likely?" This range is a bit large, and Wang You tries to narrow it down.
"I don't know." Bishop Flender said.
"What do you know?" Wang You, who has a toothache, does not give up.
"There must be vampires." Bishop Flender still affirmed.
"......" Wang You.
"Because it is necessary to maintain the stability of the imperial capital and cannot conduct large-scale searches, although it is easier for the clergy to spot dark creatures, dark creatures are equally sensitive to the clergy of the church. So the church is also helpless. It's just that there is reliable information that there are vampires hidden among the nobles of the imperial capital. ā
"What about the person who provided the message?" Wang You wondered if he could find the person who provided the information to learn some clues.
"Missing, probably dead." Bishop Friend looked embarrassed.
"Alright! Why me? Wang You asked why he was given this task.
"For you are an apostle of God. You have God's favor. "Bishop Friend has a look on his face.
"......" means that I can pass on the news even when I die, right? Wang You was speechless at Bishop Frent's sinister intentions.
"If you are caught investigating the nobility by the Council of Nobles, the Church will not recognize your existence." When Wang You saw that he couldn't hear any news and was about to leave, Bishop Friend spoke again.
"The Council of Nobles?" Wang You said, why did a noble council emerge again?
Bishop Frende explained the noble council of the human kingdom, the human kingdom is the imperial system, and the highest status is of course the human emperor, and the division and promotion of the nobles are all decided by the emperor.
But the days of peace were too long, and the aristocratic class, in order to compete with the royal family, tried to deprive the emperor of the power to rule the nobility, and the final result was a compromise between the emperor and the nobles.
The Council of Nobles is formed by the upper nobles, and the Emperor's appointment of nobles requires a vote of the Council of Nobles, and if it is not approved, the appointment is vetoed. The Council of Nobles could likewise nominate nobles, and the Emperor could veto nominations. The Council of Nobles remained nominally loyal to the Emperor, but in practice limited the Emperor's power.
It was a time of war, and according to the agreement, the emperor held the supreme power, and all human armies, as well as the private soldiers of the nobles, had to obey the emperor's orders.
Although the noble council did not dare to confront the emperor at this time, it still did not allow provocation.
"Because this is a unilateral investigation by the Church, the Church does not want to contradict the Council of Nobles. This is for the stability of the human empire. Bishop Frende said embarrassedly.
"Huh..." Wang You said to this, you are really shameless.
"How does it take to complete a mission?" Wang You, who is also interested in legendary vampires, decided to give it a try. I don't know what the difference between the vampires in this game and the vampires in real myths and legends.
"Find definite evidence that the nobles are secretly taking refuge in the demon world, and it is best to find out the hidden vampires and make them public, so that the church can justifiably begin a large-scale investigation of the nobles." Bishop Flender said.
"Okay, I got it." Wang You nodded.
As for Bishop Flender's promise that there will be a good reward for completing the mission, just listen to it, just don't cheat on my reward, this cunning fellow.
"I'm such a handsome man, of course I have to accept this challenge." This is the voice of Wang You, who accepted the task of this big pit.
Wang You, who left the temple, said that this mission is to entertain me, right? There are no clues.
"Let's go and step on the spot first." Although the church's mission this time was very pitiful, it still provided Wang You with some help, including the roster and residence of the fugitive nobles in the Eastern Continent.
