Volume 3 Chapter 2 Vampires (II)
Z blended in the crowd and came to the vicinity of the spire building that the man said, she carefully observed, there were indeed some vampires there, but this was only a stronghold, and it had nothing to do with the royal city she was looking for. Although interrogating vampires is more straightforward, considering the risks, Z decides to continue interrogating humans to investigate the direction of the royal city. She did take a lot of detours, but it also gave her a comprehensive understanding of the taming area, which was based on several villages, and a few vampires were responsible for the safety of those villages and relied on their blood to feed themselves. Then there will be a large concentration area in several unit areas, which will be used as the range of activities of high-level vampires, these vampires rely on the blood of low-level vampires to satisfy themselves, and gradually form a network structure in turn, and the blood of the virgin will be offered to the royal city as the highest grade blood, and all vampires cannot drink it. In addition to these, Z also found that these humans usually do not have any entertainment activities except work, it is not like living alone, they have no concept of rest, work, eat, sleep, they only do this, they are like dolls, vampires will meet all their basic life requirements, and they do not ask for more.
At least they are better than themselves, at least they still have life, and Z is in a bad mood when he thinks of this, and it is better to divert his life to himself if his life is so wasted by them.
The revenant doesn't get tired, so Z doesn't need to rest, it's very similar to a puppet, Z finally came to her destination after searching day and night, the vampire's royal city, she can still see the shadow of the former northern empire's palace from a distance, the vampire took over this place and turned it into his own paradise.
The general structure of the royal palace is very similar to that of Pamela's royal palace, perhaps the two empires had some exchanges in this regard, but now the bricks and tiles here are covered with traces of blood, which is far less dazzling and bright than the palace of Pamela. Now this is a filthy place full of blood, and when the clergy enter here, the effect of the word will be diminished. But Z was very intimate, and she could sense that there were many of her kind, the souls of the dead, in the palace.
This was no longer the place for her to sneak into, there were vampires at the entrance to the palace doing the job of a guard. However, Z no longer needed to sneak in at this time, and she walked generously towards the vampires at the door.
"Human, this is not the place for you!" a vampire noticed Z and shouted at her, his voice slightly hoarse and sounding like a damaged magical image.
"Am I still human?" Z muttered to herself, she had picked up the bone spear in her hand at this time, she threw it at the vampire, the bone spear directly pinned the vampire to the wall, the heart was pierced, and the vampire died with little struggle, "Tell your queen, the messenger of Lukad is here." ā
The vampires on the side wanted to rush up when they saw this scene, but when they heard Lucard's name, they all stopped.
The bone spear flew back into Z's hand, and she reaimed the spear at the vampires in front of her, "Who wants to be next?"
Lukad's name was threatened with his life, and the vampires at the door turned back into bats and flew into the palace.
It looks like his dismount has succeeded, and Z smiles. She put away the bone spear and walked slowly into the palace gate.
Upon stepping into the palace, she saw a scene of hell, with countless human corpses and endless rivers of blood, a feast. Humans who serve as food do not fear or run away, they are happy to accept the gifts of their masters, and let their blood drain or be sucked up. Until death, they all had happy expressions on their faces. The vampires indulge in the blood, which only the most high-ranking vampires can enjoy, and when Z walks in, the vampires stop.
The humans were curious as to why their master had stopped eating, and they looked curiously at Z who walked in, and all the eyes in the square were now on her.
The souls wandering here beckoned to Z, and these souls did not wake up after death, and they wandered happily in the square, becoming the raw material of their master's necromancy.
Z's expression was relaxed, this place was as kind as home, although the secret church would not kill so many people, but the difference between one corpse and a hundred corpses was nothing more than the intensity of the smell, and the breath of death made her feel at ease.
There were no vampires to stop Z's advance, and those humans didn't dare to step forward, so Z walked all the way into the huge palace in front of him, where the vampire queen was.
Walking into the palace, a strange feeling struck again, the outside was full of corpses and blood, but the palace was extremely clean, just like the royal palace of the human kingdom. The vampires kept this place very well, Z couldn't resist paying too much attention to these details, and the queen sat on the throne in front of her and looked at herself, da, da, da, Z walked towards her with crisp steps.
There are many vampires standing on both sides of the queen below, they must be the highest status people in this kingdom, and there are two women and a man standing next to the queen, this is her dependent, the queen's henchmen, and a more noble existence, these people all know it.
The queen herself had all the characteristics of a vampire, sharp teeth and claws, and a pitch-black cloak, and she was scraping against each other with the claws of her two fingers, staring at Z with her blood-red eyes.
"Long time no see, Queen Nephia. Z took off her hood, revealing her visionary.
The vampires let out an exclamation when they saw this look, and even the queen's face changed, "I didn't expect me to see you, Zhuo..."
"I'm Z. Z interrupted her: "I'll be bothered if I call the wrong name." ā
"Zā" The queen changed her words in time, she muttered silently, and laughed, "I haven't seen you for so long." You have become Lukad's emissary. ā
"I greet you on behalf of the Demon God, Queen Nephia. Z bowed, "At the same time, I also brought the order of the demon god." ā
"Order?" Hearing the word, the queen's face turned gloomy from her original surprise.
"The demon god wants the vampires to worship him as their master. ā
As soon as these words came out, several vampires couldn't help but rush towards Z, "Stand down!" The queen roared, and all the vampires who rushed forward couldn't move for a while, and then obediently retreated.
The Queen's appearance changed, her vampire features gradually disappeared, and without fangs and claws, she took on the form of a human woman, as she had before she became a vampire. "Those of us who can't see the sun can't compare to the power of the demons, how can the demon god care about us, Z?"
"Queen Nephia, you only need to agree to submit nominally and join the war when the Demon God crusades against Heaven, and the rest of the Demon God will not care. ā
"Crusade against Heaven...", Nephia walked towards Z.
"If you don't agree, as you said, how do vampires fight demons? The expression on Z's face was slightly contemptuous, she knew that the vampires would not dare to refuse this proposal, even if the demon god could not come to the world in person, such a filthy place, as long as someone did a little tricking, the demon could easily be summoned in, and his own silent infiltration was the most powerful threat.
"Oops" Nifia made an unsteady movement, and suddenly pounced on Z's body, Z's skeleton was shattered instantly, Z's soul lost its dependence and flew out, and once she flew out, the enchantment began to repel her "I'm sorry, I didn't stand firm." Although she made an excuse, Nefia didn't have any apologies on her face.
Z in the soul state was wrapped in magical light at this time, and was about to be banished from the enchantment, "I'm just a messenger, what the hell to do, you, as their queen, must know very well." After saying that, the blue light on Z's body flashed, and she disappeared with a smile.
"Your Majesty!!" one of the Queen's female dependents knelt down to Z after she disappeared, she was a little shorter than the other female dependent, "You can't agree to the Demon God's request. The Holy Word is extremely harmful to the vampires, even the Holy Capital we can't conquer, if we go to heaven to fight the angels of the Father, it will be a disaster for our whole race, and the Demon God wants to use us as cannon fodder. "As the dependents knelt, all the vampires knelt, and they said something similar, except for the male and the other female.
"Leta, you get up first, you all get up. The queen turned her head to look at her, and her whole body changed back to her vampire appearance, "I know what you say, but if I have no choice, I can only agree, the demon god will also destroy us." ā
"According to the information we have gathered, the necromancers of the Southern Continent have said that the demon god has been looking for a sword for a long time, and now he has found it. The Daedric is so interested in us now, if we get that sword, maybe we'll have a bargaining chip, Your Majesty. Another female family member next to Leita said.
"Lyles, you reported this information before," the queen nodded, "but we don't know the location or appearance of the sword, and it is impossible for the necromancer to tell us more information, if we want to find the sword, we have to grab him, and at the same time evade the tracking of the church all the way... It's almost impossible. The queen helped Leita up, everyone stood up, the queen turned her head to look at the two rows of vampires below, but they were all silent at the moment, this is indeed not something ordinary vampires can do, the queen snorted and turned to look at her male dependents, "Honey, you..."
"I'm willing to give it a try, Your Majesty. Reta suddenly took the Queen's hand and looked at her with eager eyes, "I will use my life, my soul, and everything I have to find that sword!!"
The male dependents looked at this scene and thought for a moment, and finally nodded to the queen, who was silent, she looked at Leita, who grabbed her hand, "You should know that this mission will affect the fate of the entire vampire in the future." ā
"I know, Your Majesty, that I can give everything for this. Leta knelt down again.
"Then I will be with you. Nifia slapped Leita on the shoulder, and a magic circle appeared at her feet, "You now have half of my strength, which is the limit of what you can carry, you don't have much time." ā
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will be able to accomplish my mission!!" Leita's face was nervous, but not timid.
"You can only come back on your own. I can't pull you back with the sword. The queen reminded her one last time.
"I understand. She is well aware of the difficulties of this line of work: "If you can't do it, you can punish me in any way." With that, a blue light flashed, and she vanished.
"Lyles, what do you think of your sister?" the queen looked at the other female dependent, who had not said a word until a moment's time.
"She hasn't drunk blood today, which is bad. Lyles shook his head, his brow furrowed deeply, "But there's nothing worse than that, isn't it, Your Majesty, how bad can it be?"
"Now I'm ready for battle, I've removed all the stalls outside, and I've withdrawn all the vampires on the front line of the Holy Capital. The queen turned to the two rows of vampires and shouted, "Queue up on the city walls for me to check, all humans must be identified, go now!!" The queen's voice at this time was full of majesty and oppression, "No one wants to drink blood until it's done!"
