Chapter XXXVI: The Duke
Seeing the vampires dressed as boatmen ready to move, standing behind Charles, James's body quickly grew larger, and he carried the thick steel of the bowl to his shoulder with one hand, and the commotion immediately subsided.
Charles turned his head to look at the blind man next to him, "When will the two dukes you said arrive??"
"Normally, they are all in the mausoleum in the middle of the island, and it may take half a day to get here,"
"Good. ”
Charles pointed to the narwhal next to him and said to the vampire factory director in front of him, "I'll give you three hours to load the turbine for me." Otherwise, Durand will be your fate. ”
One of the boatmen, a guy with a beard, stepped forward and said emotionally, "It's impossible!!!Do you know how troublesome it is to change the turbine?"
"Chief Engineer. ”
As soon as Charles's order came out, a piece of steel behind him whistled and smashed into the bearded body.
The twisted body still wanted to heal, and the steel smashed the beard into flesh one after another.
Blood splattered onto the remaining vampires, and a hint of fear spread across everyone's faces.
"Don't you think I'm a good talker, you blood-sucking monsters, change it for me now!" Charles's words contained anger.
The director's lips trembled slightly, he wiped the flesh foam from his face with his hand, and turned around with the other vampires and walked towards the narwhal.
"Big pipe, turbine you know, keep an eye on them, beware of these things. ”
"Okay, head. The narwhal's big engineer followed.
Originally, this kind of thing should have called the chief engineer, but the current chief engineer is too low in intelligence to be able to do this kind of work, and now James is standing in place. Fears all vampires.
"Crunch~" The metal door of the ship repair yard was opened a crack, and Dip looked out vigilantly.
After a few seconds of brief observation, he turned to Charles who was sitting on the box and said, "Captain, the people outside seem to have noticed us, and many of them are looking this way." ”
"Odric, won't these people rush in?" Charles asked the blind man as he wiped his black blade.
The blind man next to him shook his head, "No, they don't dare to do the prey that belongs to the duke, and you are not ordinary humans who are slaughtered by others, they are all scattered sand, and they may not dare to go up." ”
Charles had a hint of clarity in his heart, it seemed that the previous deterrent was still there, even if the vampires outside knew that they were going to flee, and no one was leading them, they didn't dare to act rashly.
"How's the Duke's strength?" said Charles, as he probed the approaching enemy.
"The strength of the blood clan is divided according to age, the older you are, the more experience you have, the stronger your strength, the age to become a duke is at least five hundred years old, they are fundamentally different from us, as long as they want, they can easily kill thousands of ordinary blood clans. ”
Five hundred years old? Charles was a little surprised in his heart, at such an age, did he know something about the Bright Continent.
Hearing Charles's speculation, Odrik shook his head.
"In this case, you can only ask the mistress, the blood clan of our entire island was formed by her, and she is the only one who has been to that cursed place. I heard that light can be seen everywhere there, and the slightest touch will burn into ashes. I really don't know how the housemother survives. ”
"Then why did your mistress come to this place?"
"Ah, I've heard of this, legend has it that there is a being who told the Mistress that there is a kind of place that not only never harms the sunlight of the blood clan, but also has enough human control in it. ”
Charles was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought that these vampires would come this way.
The blind Odrik couldn't see Charles's face and continued to speak.
"But that being deceived the Mistress, this place is not only human, but also has all kinds of existences that are far more powerful than our blood clan, even if it is the blood clan, it is very difficult to survive in this kind of place, and the Mistress hates him very much. ”
Hearing the existence that was much more powerful than the Blood Clan's Mother of Blood, Charles instinctively thought of the giant palm that rose from the sea, making people unable to resist anything.
"How much do you know about the world before the Mistress?Which country did your Mistress come from?How many suns are there in the sky?" Charles asked several questions in succession, hoping to deduce the age and environment of the present surface through the details.
A wry smile appeared on Aldrick's face. "Mr. Charles, I'm only 124 years old, I'm still very young, and I'm sure I've seen it in the bloodline, I have no way of knowing these questions. ”
Charles exhaled lightly and walked towards the narwhal with some melancholy, which was also expected.
Now if you want to know the answer, you have to confront the blood clan housemother face to face, but it's impossible to think about it, unless you are tired of living.
Lily, who was fascinated by the hearing on the side, saw Charles leaving, approached Odrik and asked curiously, "So your mistress came to this island to avoid the crisis?" ”
"No, we are here to hide from the humans, the strength of the human race is getting stronger and stronger, and the contradictions between the human race and the blood clan are also growing, and the mistress foresees the upcoming decisive battle and leaves with her heir. In fact, we have a symbiotic relationship with human beings, and if you die, we will not be able to live without food. ”
"And what about your food? Eat mice?"
"In the northern part of Darkcrystal Island, we have a group of humans who have to provide a certain amount of blood every week, but it is really too expensive...... Usually, I can only endure nausea and eat some human food. ”
As the minutes passed, more and more of the Bloods wandered outside the shipyard.
At this time, they were no longer hiding, their mouths were showing two blood-sucking teeth, and the bloodthirsty gaze in their eyes was unobscured.
Although they didn't rush in, Charles still felt a lot of pressure as he looked at the vampires outside in circles.
"How long is it?, if you don't want to die, hurry up!" Charles's roar echoed through the shipyard.
"Right now, right now! The factory director with sweat on his forehead frantically urged his subordinates.
It was at this moment that the sound of wings flapping outside the door pierced the ears of everyone in the shipyard.
Charles quickly rushed to a window and looked outside, only to see a large group of black bats approaching in mid-air, and the vampires outside the door cheered at the bats in the air.
The bat quickly fell to the ground, condensed into a stand-up collar cloak that was black on the outside and red on the inside, draped over a man and a woman.
"Damn!" the irritated Charles had to guess the identities of the two guys without anyone else's explanation.
"Didn't you say it would take half a day, why did you come here now in only two hours?"
