The petite Queen of the Bloods sat in a daze, her small breasts facing the end of the table, her beautiful court dress wet from the corners of the carpet, and her two eyes as magnificent as rubies stared blankly ahead.
Angela Brad is the vampire queen's personal lady-in-waiting. The head lady-in-waiting of the Blood Moon Castle was standing on the side of Her Majesty's seat at this time, and the moment the goblet in Queen Cosette's hand fell, her naturally timid personality made her immediately lean over and poke her head over, staring at the side of Queen Cosette with anxious and concerned eyes, and asked timidly, "Your Majesty?" β
She was joined by other servants and guards who stood around the hall, as well as several vampire nobles who sat around a long table with Her Majesty.
Among the vampire nobles, the future Red Lord Baron Kilrivers, although his title rank was slightly inferior to the other elders around him who were famous in the blood society, but given the incomprehensible importance that Queen Cosette held to many of the blood nobles, he was also sitting in this column at this time, and he was witnessing the expression on the face of His Majesty, whom he revered and loyal, as if he was wandering into the body.
After a while, the queen's eyes blinked with a dull glint of eyes, and then she returned to her usual casual and comfortable look, slowly raised the hand that was holding the goblet just now to signal the nobles in the banquet hall to be quiet, and raised a charming and confident smile on the corner of her mouth and whispered: "I have found an interesting child. β
"Who, then, is the heir of the family, Your Majesty?" An old man sitting across from Kilrivers put down his glass, turned his head calmly to look at the queen, who looked like she was just a little girl, and asked casually.
His name was Albert. Earl Albert, from the southern entrance to Raven Valley, rules the area around the Funerary Plains. Matching his gray hair, his identity can be regarded as an older generation in the blood society, at least now compared to many rising stars led by Killerivers, he has more authority and voice.
Queen Cosette's natural ability is "Blood Perception", and this Blood Queen's natural ability does not belong to the combat category, but she has a very strong perception ability. Her Majesty the Vampire Queen, even if she is thousands of miles away, can sense the location of the Blood-based Talent Awakened through a bond of law - as long as she is in the same dimensional world as the new Talent Awakener.
In other words, characters whose natural abilities will awaken to bloodline talents are all vampires, or hybrids with a high proportion of vampire blood in their bodies.
So, hearing His Majesty's allegiance say that she had found an interesting child, Earl Albert then thought that Her Majesty might have just discovered another small nobleman with great potential from among his younger kind.
Just like she had done when she had taken a fancy to KilRivers and bestowed him the title of Baron.
However, the long-haired and shawl-haired Blood Queen then took a new wine glass from the handmaiden named Angela next to her, and twisted the thin cup with her two white fingers before pouring her a new glass of red wine. Replying to the old blood lord's words, he said, "That child doesn't belong to us yet, Albert Qing, at least for the time being. β
Her voice was as young as ever, sweet and charming, but there was an irresistible maturity and temptation that made several vampire nobles present stunned for a moment, and they all looked at her blankly, as if they had heard a terrible rumor from her mouth.
The dark nobles with pointed ears and red eyes know it. Ever since the Crimson Moon was defeated by the Knights of the Apocalypse led by the Dragon of Judgment at the end of the First Age, vampires who had been pure-blooded since their birth ceased to exist after the exclusion of the True Ancestor's lineage.
Therefore. From the Second Age onwards, if you want to awaken the innate abilities of the "blood" line, then unless you have the noble blood of the ancient times in your body like the current Queen of Cosette, you must abandon your original race and become a vampire before the innate ability awakens.
Or rather......
"Holy Son?" After pondering for a long time, Earl Albert mentioned the term to the Queen in a cautious tone.
The old knight's conjecture stunned the nobles present again.
However, the Queen of Cosette smiled and calmly motioned to the chief maid to pour herself a new glass of wine. Then he shook the goblet in his hand gracefully, and watched the blood-red liquid wash a few small waves on the walls of the cup, and replied softly to his loyal people, "Gascoll will go to witness it...... I could feel the distance between the two of them, and the kid was about to meet him. β
β¦β¦
As if he couldn't believe that the scene in front of him was really his own doing, Raymond looked at the corpses of the four Nightspawn killers who had collapsed in front of him not far in front of him, almost in disbelief. I wonder if the blood-colored arc that flew out from his blade and slashed the four killers just now was really swung by himself.
He had seen Finn's wind blade slash with the magic greatsword known as the Whirling Blade, the kind of mid-to-long-range attack that would be the icing on the cake for a skilled combatant, but he clearly remembered that the curved sword in his hand was undoubtedly just a memento gift from a Far Eastern merchant by chance.
While this curved longsword by an Oriental craftsman has a unique aesthetic and high-quality workmanship, the future Juggernaut can be sure that it is indeed not a magical item.
In other words, that blood-colored arc blade...... Is it their own ability?
At the thought of this, he looked down in disbelief at his already cut left hand, and then a vigilant turn his head behind him, and his fierce gaze relocked on the killer who had tried to do it to Tina.
The still alive killer shrank his neck in fear, glad that he hadn't stood in a row with his four hapless companions, and his feet fell backwards with the change of mentality. Whether it was to find the right time to attack again or to flee in embarrassment, he no longer had the absolute confidence to retreat from Raymond's sword at this moment.
Just then, a new movement came from between, another open window on the edge of the corridor on the second floorβ
"Whoosh!" A bang.
The sharp sound of the wind came from outside the window into Raymond's ears. The future Sword Master's gaze glanced over there in time, but he didn't have time to take two steps back in the opposite direction of the remaining killer.
His eyes widened for a moment, and a crimson javelin then whizzed through his waist and abdomen from the side with a pungent blood, and then "banged" with him on a wooden wall opposite the window in the corridor on the second floor, and the terrifying crack flowed out of the wall and the blood melted by the javelin for a second.
The future Sword Master didn't have time to guard against this abrupt blow, and suddenly felt that his body had lost its strength. The sharp pain across his waist caused him to grit his teeth and sit down against the wall of the corridor, and his right hand holding the curved sword loosened the five fingers that grasped the hilt of the sword, but his left arm still stubbornly hugged the half-fairy girl in his arms.
"Brother Raymond!" Tina screamed in horror as she watched Raymond's blood-stained waist.
"......" Raymond felt a little tired, but he still tried to look up in the direction where the scarlet javelin was thrown, trying to see which dastardly bastard had attacked him.
The next moment, when the future Juggernaut raised his head, he saw Locke, who seemed to have fainted on the ground, and the Nightspawn Killer, he found a new bat flying in from the night outside the window.
The black bat, the same color as the night, flew into the room through the open window, and seemed to flap its wings and flap its wings and flap in mid-air, looking at him condescendingly. Then in a dark red blood mist, he turned into an old man in human form.
"Are you ......" He tilted his head slightly, looking directly at the old man who had changed from bat to human form, and saw the other man's short pale hair, red eyes, a face that seemed to be born fierce, a scar across his cheek, a black blindfold on his left eye, and the other man's orc-like tall figure, and a set of dark and luxurious clothes he was wearing.
Although he had no contact with the members of the Bloodline, he sensed that the other party was a real vampire nobleman, unlike the rumored half-ass half-ass half-blooded half-breed with tainted bloodlines, and the Baron Kilrivers he had fought against.
And it seems to be the older generation.
"You're ......" Raymond looked into the old vampire's eyes. Try to question the other person with a weak voice.
The old vampire who had stepped in the fight glanced coldly at the shivering Nightspawn Slayer next to him, and then at Raymond. A contemptuous sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he took a step towards Raymond and the half-elf girl who was held in the arms of the young man.
The strength on Raymond's arm was weakening, and Tina trembled and raised her little head to stare at the old vampire who was walking towards her and Raymond step by step, although she was extremely frightened, but then she still mustered up the courage to break free of Raymond's already soft hand, and opened her arms to bravely block between Raymond and the old vampire. The cherry-like mouth was purple.
"You're a half-goblin?" The old vampire stopped, and without lowering his head even a bit, he stood straight and looked down at the little girl, who was only half his height.
The fair, slender legs of the half-fairy girl trembled uncontrollably, but she did not flee with the fear in her heart, but still stood in front of Raymond. Holding his breath, he replied loudly to the old vampire in front of him, "Tina won't allow you to hurt Brother Raymond...... Never allowed! β
"It's just a container of fairy blood, and you have the guts to yell at me?" However, the old vampire's card-like face seemed unmoved.
As the words fell, he took another step forward, and in front of Tina's little face, which was obviously terrified but still strong, he suddenly stretched out a hand about the size of the latter's head and grabbed the latter's neck and lifted it up easily, and then the other hand immediately slashed at the back of his neck with a vertical knife.
The little half-goblin girl, who was lifted in the air by the old vampire, rolled her eyes, and her silver hair crooked with her little head.
"Lord Gascoll?" The Nightspawn Slayer, who was still alive, watched the old vampire knock Tina unconscious, and cautiously walked by.
"Enough for tonight." The old vampire, whose name seemed to be Gascoll, tucked the fainted little girl under his armpit like a burden, and turned his head to look at the hooded guy with his black robe torn off, "So, it's time to go back, Killer." β
"The battle ...... in the hall down there"
"I don't expect you to annihilate the Brotherhood in one fell swoop, I only expect you to be as obedient as dogs."
He uttered an obviously insulting explanation, then held Tina in one arm and turned to leave the tavern run by the Brotherhood of Thieves, when he suddenly felt a hand grab his ankle from behind him.
The old vampire named Gasco stopped and turned around.
"Let go of Tina... You bastard......" Raymond fell to the ground on his side, stretching out his right hand, which had dropped his curved sword, grappling Gascoll's ankle, his clothes gradually stained with the blood spreading from his abdomen.
Gascoll glanced at his weak, stubborn and resentful face like a dog, then raised his other hand, and a second javelin made of blood was caught in his hand out of thin air, and without hesitation, threw it at Raymond like garbage.
"Poof!"
In the next second, the blood-colored javelin ruthlessly pierced the left side of the young man's chest.
There was an immediate scorching heat in his chest, and Raymond's body stiffened, and suddenly he felt that his eyelids had become as heavy as lead, and his vision was blurring at a terrible rate, and his consciousness was gradually moving away from him......
