Chapter 17: Otis Doubts
Otis was puzzled for the past two days.
Since the patriarch returned last night, that doubt has not disappeared.
He keenly felt that the patriarch's temperament had changed a lot, and the last time he came back, it wasn't like that.
At that time, all the actions of the patriarch were in line with the actions of the blood clan, he was indifferent, he liked the darkness, and would never gather his people in the hall in the morning, treating humans as food.
Even he thought that after the patriarch came back this time, he would let him lead his people to ride the magic bat to the distant mountains and mountains to plunder the humans and come back in captivity...... Just as food.
But I didn't expect everything to change.
The old patriarch who was rigid and inflexible in the past has become different, and he has openly declared that he will not harm humans in the future, and that he will make humans part of the blood clan.
Is this still the patriarch he knew?
Even if we have received the knowledge of the Holy Spirit, can we really change so completely?
The goddess of darkness was above, and he swore that although he was puzzled by all this, he did not mention it to anyone, because the soul breath was still the patriarch.
Although the patriarch's actions were different from usual, he saw a different hope.
Death used to whisper in the ears of all living beings that if it didn't change now, death would come.
Although Ois does not believe in gods, he is very much in favor of the oracle of the powerful god of death.
The Bloods were overshadowed by weakness and cowardice after tasting the ale of defeat in the war a hundred years ago.
From thousands of people to now, they are only in their early 200s, and they have to worry about the hunt in Green City all the time.
This is unbearable for Otis, who has experienced the glory of the Bloodline, and he thought that this life would continue for a long time.
But thankfully, the patriarch finally began to transform.
Even if the change is a bit unreasonable, Otis is still happy.
He was also deeply impressed by the knowledge that the patriarch had inherited from the Holy Spirit.
He was honored by the secret of the Bloodline's lost origins in the long river of time, and the Bloodline, who had ruled the entire world, was indeed the beloved of the Goddess of the Night...... Although the goddess of the night did not exist at that time.
The patriarch's talk of the future, ruling a city of millions of people like Grimm, made him even more excited.
The battle with Greene a hundred years ago had taught him the power of humanity, a powerful army capable of destroying several Bloods, a nightmare he still fears to this day.
And then there's the transcendent mage who hovers beneath the sky, Lockhart, whose five-ring magic has brought thousands of bloods back to the embrace of the goddess of the night.
It was not a power that a mortal could grasp, and he was sincerely afraid.
The Bloodlines need a heroic hero to change all that in such a weak situation.
Fortunately, under the crown of the first ancestor, the lord of the blood clan once again stood up.
Even he felt that the patriarch who had changed now, the Great Ancestor Crown could let him see the distance even more.
Therefore, although the new order has just been issued, and the blood clan around him still has doubts, he has decided to follow in the footsteps of the ancestor and contribute to the growth of the blood clan.
Otis whispered in his mind.
"Vita, hurry up, move all your stuff to the central area today, where there are enough houses and big enough"
"Remove the corpses hidden in the house, and never allow a single dry skeleton to appear"
"Hahn, clean up the streets, I don't want to see a street covered with dust and mud"
In order to complete the task given to him by Li De as soon as possible, Otis organized half of the blood clan to participate.
The Bloods are all natural spellcasters, and the Goddess of the Night has bestowed upon them an excellent gift for magic.
In the castle, 150 of the 208 Clans are mages in their primary class, and half of the remaining 58 are mages in their secondary classes.
There are only more than twenty blood clans whose profession has nothing to do with mages.
Spellcasters that are extremely hard to find in the human world are as common here as wheat and weeds.
Mages possess mystical powers that can be used not only to fight, but also to work and even better.
Dusty streets can be cleaned with a single cleansing spell, broken houses can be repaired with auto-restore, and clogged sewers can be cleaned with mage's hands.
Cleaning the streets with hundreds of intermediate mages who were all above level 5 was something that even the Mage Guild in Green City couldn't do.
"Your Excellency, do you know the true thoughts of His Majesty the First Ancestor? Is it true that our castle will live with humans in the future?
The goddess of the night is above, you know what kind of life I'm talking about"
A young and handsome Bloodclan approached him, holding a magic wand and a little deflated.
The bloodline has its own division of titles, duke, marquis, earl, son, male plus knight. There are six levels in total, with the duke being the highest and the knight being the lowest.
Most of the normal blood clans divide titles according to strength, the duke is extraordinary, the marquis is the archmage level, the earl is a senior professional, the viscount is an intermediate professional, and the baron is a formal professional.
However, it is a pity that most of the Bloodlines who once held the title fell in the Battle of Grimm City a hundred years ago.
Now there are only seven second-generation bloodlines in the blood clan who have titles, and they are the viscounts that Li De once canonized himself.
Otis is one of them, so the Bloodlines below have always honored him as Lord Viscount.
Otis turned his head to look at the blood clan around him, although the young blood clan in front of him was dressed in neat black magic robes, but there was a decadent aura on his body, and he had no spirit.
His eyebrows were raised, and his green eyes flashed with displeasure.
Maybe His Majesty's painstaking narration was just to let these brainless fools know how to do it, he thought, if His Majesty Ancestor didn't say it, it was likely that these guys would really do bad things.
"Hahn, the wisdom of the Ancestor Crown is not something you can guess, I warn you, don't hinder the Ancestor Crown with uncooperative cowardly behavior, that will only bring you danger."
After a pause, he turned his head to look at a few bloodlines around him who were paying attention to him, and said loudly.
"The blood clan will always be the blood clan under the ancestor crown, if anyone dares to passively complete the order given by the ancestor crown, I will personally send you into the ancient castle prison, you will not want to know where it is like"
Hearing this, the surrounding blood clan suddenly became agitated.
The Castle Prison, which was a separate prison for errant bloods, had extremely harsh punishments, and no bloods wanted to go to that hellish place.
"No, no, Your Excellency the Viscount, you misunderstood me, I just ......" explained the young Bloodclan with a flustered face.
Otis waved his hand and responded with a cold face.
"No, Hahn, you don't need to apologize, I just need you to do the task I gave you seriously.
If you do make a mistake, there will be enforcers who will deal with you"
Hahn's already pale face became even more ugly, and he didn't dare to say more, and continued to cast spells to clear the streets.
The goddess of darkness is above, and His Excellency the Viscount is becoming more and more powerful.
And the plan of the first ancestor, is it really possible to succeed? Can we really take control of a city like Greentown?
There will always be doubts on the road to change.
But when they really appreciate the benefits of reform, these doubters will become loyal supporters.
