In the slightly cramped room, every inch of the wall is blocked by bookshelves, each with six floors that reach to the ceiling. It's filled with boxes of anime game discs, colorful comic books and light novels from different eras, and anime figurines made of clay and plastic - everything from mobile suits to magical girls. There are large anime posters on the ceiling, curtains are printed with images of anime beautiful girls, pillows in the shape of magical girls are thrown on the floor, and even the alarm clock and teacups are made in the shape of robot cats and Pikachu...... But that's not enough, the torrent of all kinds of anime house things also overflows on the table, the sofa, and Zuihou piles up several hills under the window.

This is the most "old" vampire queen of Shijie bloodline today, the true ancestor of vampires born in the world since 1992, Margaret. Taylor and her twin daughters, Hansel. Taylor and Gretel. Taylor's living room.

Then, in this room, which is enough to dazzle ordinary people, and the anime dead house can be happy for the rest of their lives, they stay on the central floor of the messy room that can't come out of it, but lazily lying on the stomach is a petite blonde "beautiful girl", which makes Wang Qiu and Wang Yao's eyes suddenly brighten:

The long, silky hair shone like gold and glowed with intoxicating color under the lamp. The fair-skinned neck wears a gold choker encrusted with gemstones, and the look is both unique and luxurious. There is still a trace of childishness in the delicate facial features, as cute as a doll. The crimson eyes are like rubies in the light of fire. The white skin is as white as snow and as clear as ice. Only the soft cheeks still have a faint layer of pink.

Such an otherworldly beauty, it is not like a mortal living on this shijie - in fact. She is indeed a non-human necromantic creature from a distant otherworld, and her gorgeous beauty is also largely due to the beauty magic of Shijie.

However. Such a peerless blonde beautiful girl who seems to be out of the world, but wearing a scruffy pink nightgown and a crumpled budding nighthat, lazily lying in a messy room, staring at round blood-red eyes, engrossed in playing with the game console in her hand.

-- Such an otherworldly beauty, such an elegant and luxurious temperament. Such a sloppy outfit, such a messy dead house room, plus a room full of anime house things...... Putting together so many completely incongruous things. It's really a feeling of tyranny.

In response, the round-eyed maid head Janie, who led the way, rolled her eyes and coughed lightly, but Lori, the blonde vampire who was addicted to the game, did not react. Until Jenny pulled out an electric mosquito swatter from her apron. Knock a few times on the floor. The other party woke up suddenly.

“…… Oops, I'm sorry, I was bored just now, so I played a game again......" In full view of everyone, she hurriedly dropped the game console, tried to straighten her pleated nightgown, and took off her crumpled bud-shaped hat and replaced it with a small golden crown. Then he cleared his throat and spoke in a sundere tone that made his glasses fall off. With a dignified face, he said to all the visitors:

“…… Kuku! O lowly human beings from afar! I have come to see the king today, but what precious tribute do you have to offer? ”

However, before the above-mentioned "majestic and majestic" scene was finished, this blonde Lori was punished by the electric mosquito swatting of the maid with round glasses!

“…… Syllable! Zila-Margaret! Speak well to me! Don't follow those scenes from Japanese cartoons! How many times have I told you! No matter how pretentious you are, you won't have the slightest majesty at all! ”

“…… Whining...... Jenny knew that the murderer's family was ...... "Margaret, who was whipped away on the spot by the electric mosquito swatter, like a frightened kitten, squatted in the corner of the room with her head in her eyes in her eyes, and complained majestically, "...... Didn't you keep saying that if people only sell cuteness, they will definitely be looked down upon by others? That's why we want to be more imposing...... Wasn't it majestic enough just now? ”

“…… Alas, my dear queen......" Jenny sighed and stroked her hair, "...... Do you think your moe still needs to be sold? ”

“…… Wow - hate hate hate! Janie is such a big villain with a black belly......" Margaret cried again.

Well,Sure enough, it's a closed-door housegirl NEET Ji who loves to surf the Internet and play games.、I like to sleep lazy.,Completely scrapped and cute......

- Looking at this scene full of comedic effect, Wang Qiu couldn't help but give this vampire true ancestor the above label in his heart.

Of course, he could vaguely guess that the first generation of today's Shijie's vampire true ancestor was trained to look like this waste cute otaku girl, and it was probably also a deliberate act of the vampire hunters - although the two sides are currently in a symbiotic and mutually beneficial intimate relationship, no matter what, their original attributes are still natural enemies. And a lazy otaku girl whose main business is selling cuteness will obviously be much easier to control than a bloodthirsty and murderous savage and violent woman.

Next, after being dragged to the corner by the head maid of round glasses, Jane, who was carefully trained by her ears, this waste cute house girl vampire with some talent for radio waves was finally able to talk to the visitors more normally.

However, after introducing the identities of Wang Qiu and Wang Yao, when it was Sonya's turn to be the political commissar, something changed again - I saw Margaret frowning at first, twitching her nose like a puppy and sniffing, and then her face turned white with a "brush", and the whole person "swished" into Jenny's skirt, trembling and letting out a lovely wail, "...... Wolf...... Werewolf! This is obviously a werewolf! How could a stinking and brutal beast sneak into the house! Jenny! Get it out with a stun gun! ”

For such an unprovoked insult, the wolf girl Sonya naturally immediately widened her eyes and wanted to have a seizure, but looking at Margaret's cute little face like a frightened kitten, she really couldn't be hostile to this little Lori, and could only look at this vampire true ancestor with a tangled face. He sighed and said, "...... Forget it, as a senior. I won't bother with you. Come out and sit down, people won't eat you again. ”

- Uh, it was only at this time that Wang Qiu suddenly remembered that werewolves and vampires seemed to be rivals in legends?

But aren't the legendary werewolves slaves of vampires? How is it that on this shijie, it seems that the status of the two is completely reversed?

Forthwith. The head maid of the round glasses, Jane, gave an explanation: "...... Sorry for making you laugh...... When she was living in the palace of the Otherworldly Magic Empire, Margaret had not yet recovered her limbs. It seems that she is often bullied and toyed with by a wolf girl in the palace, such as biting her ass and holding her around after transforming into a giant wolf...... Therefore, unfortunately there are some psychological shadows, and I ask for your understanding......"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In a word. After another chicken, flying, dog jumping and slapping to appease. Wang Qiu first gave two packets of Taiwanese pig blood cake as a welcome gift according to the modern Oriental custom of meeting vampires (the custom of Westerners is to give a string of blood sausages), and then talked to them about the common development of ancient Egyptian time and space.

- Of course, nominally she was negotiating with Margaret, the vampire true ancestor, but looking at the unreliable appearance of this blonde Lori, it was obvious that the person who actually negotiated and made the decision could only be her personal maid head, breeder and vampire hunter leader, and the bespectacled Jane. Graus.

“…… Other words. As a result of the never-before-seen phenomenon of the 'doppelganger' of the traverser, you now have a near-permanent wormhole. ”

The head maid with round glasses, Jane, touched her chin and groaned. There seemed to be a hint of envy in his tone, "...... Opposite the wormhole is not a desert with no people, but the rich and prosperous ancient Egypt, and at this time Egypt is ruled by another Cleopatra who has been replaced by a soul. And then you have ten tons of interdimensional transport at a time, and you can transport up to three hundred tons of material per hour -- wow, isn't that going to be a big deal? ”

“…… Things are not as simple as you think, Miss Grauss. Wang Qiu shrugged his shoulders and replied with a wry smile, "...... If it is based on the standards of ancient civilization shijie, Egypt, which is rich in grain, can indeed be called rich, but in modern shijie...... What agrarian country can make a lot of money from food? Even the United States, which currently dominates the international grain market, relies on huge subsidies from the government to farmers to maintain production. ”

“…… Moreover, when Cleopatra had just ascended the throne, ancient Egypt was experiencing a drought that had not been seen in a century, wheat and barley harvests failed or even failed year after year, and thousands of Egyptian farmers died of famine. Instead of surplus grain to sell, we are required to import a large amount of grain from modern shijie for disaster relief. It was only in the last year that the drought in Egypt has largely ended. Wang Yao took over and continued, "...... We have spent a lot of money to help Cleopatra fight wars and help refugees, but the benefits we have received are very limited. Egypt had almost nothing but sand in Egypt, and the Ptolemaic Dynasty's savings had been destroyed in the war, and the only way to collect valuable resources was to find ways to collect them. “

“…… We have tried to trade, and the refined salt, sugar, silk, chemical cloth, and iron tools that have been shipped over are indeed in high demand. Wang Qiu once again snatched the conversation, "...... However, Egypt was so geographically isolated that no matter which way you entered Egypt by land, you had to cross the vast desert, and those camel caravans could only trade a small amount of luxury goods at best, and could not trade in large quantities at all. As for the sea route, which seems to be more feasible...... First of all, the capacity of the oars-rowing merchant ships in BC was really a tragedy, and the freight was very high.

Second, the fierce war between the Caesars and the Roman republicans led to the requisitioning or burning of many merchant ships, and the destruction of many ports, which seriously disrupted the order of the entire Mediterranean trade circle, and the number of merchant ships still sailing on the sea shrank significantly.

For example, we all know that at that time the price of silk in Greco-Roman shijie was higher than gold, while the wood in Lebanon and Thrace was very good. So they let out the rumors that they wanted to trade wood with iron and silk. We overestimated the shipping capacity of the maritime merchants at that time, and as a result, it took half a year to collect less than 10,000 cubic meters of timber in Alexandria, and less than half of the silk hoarded there.

In view of the poor trade routes, we changed our minds and no longer stuck in Alexandria, waiting for the Greeks' rudimentary merchant ships to come to our doors. Instead, they take the initiative and directly occupy the resource producing areas, and then carry out predatory exploitation. In this way, there can be a profit. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Qiu sighed with some distress, "...... It's a pity that the Egyptian army at the end of the Ptolemaic Dynasty had already decayed and collapsed to the extreme, and it was not capable of fighting Egypt and expeditioning in all directions. Bring us those wonderful gold, silver, precious stones and wood ......"

“…… So, in order for Queen Cleopatra's ancient Egyptian army, it can be more effective in plundering and collecting various resources for us. It was necessary to spread some modern industrial, agricultural, and military jishu to the Egyptians, so that they could wage wars of foreign conquest. However, although we do not lack industrial products or textbooks, there are very few people who can travel between the two ends of the wormhole. Sonia added.

“…… That's right. Human resources have become our biggest bottleneck. Even if we brought the advanced jishu materials, there were no jishu members over there who could understand them. Even if you want to train a group of talents who have mastered modern knowledge, there are not so many teachers for the time being. Even to teach the ancient Egyptians how to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, we had to wear straw hats and face the sun every day, and give them hands-on guidance, which was too hard......"

As soon as he remembered the hard work of making a cameo appearance as an "agricultural technician" on the banks of the Nile River a while ago, Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel a sore back, "...... Can you imagine how you could teach an Egyptian scribe who used hieroglyphs. Learn to use a walk-behind automatic seeder? I'm going crazy! ”

“…… I do know a guy who once trained local Muslim illiterate artillerymen in Afghanistan how to use 107 rocket artillery. ”

The round glasses maid Jeanne pursed her lips. “…… But you're right, training ancient Egyptian scribes is certainly more cumbersome than training Afghan hillmen, and it's not so easy to find a translator - so do you need a bunch of jishu, instructors, and mercenaries? But we vampire hunters are not professional spatial abilities like you, and we don't have the ability to travel through wormholes and travel to and from different people......"

“…… But you are not ordinary people, at least you can withstand the spatial radiation that passes through the wormhole, unlike ordinary people, who will have nearly half of the mortality rate. As for how to cross the wormhole, my brother can do it for me, and it will be regarded as carrying special goods. ”

Wang Yao opened his mouth and replied, "...... There are some things that everyone knows, but we just don't talk about them - in order to achieve eternal youth, you vampire hunters have collectively passed the ritual of dark magic and become blood slaves between the living and the undead......"

- Generally speaking, vampires are powerful undead creatures, but they have a fatal weakness, which is their fear of sunlight.

Therefore, while they sleep during the day, they need to be guarded. There are also things that can only be done during the day, and someone needs to work for them. Some vampires will raise werewolves for this purpose, while others will use eternal youth as bait to lure mortals to become their blood slaves.

The so-called blood slave is a vampire who transplants the imprint of the soul into the human body through ancient dark magic, making it a loyal slave. After becoming a blood slave, mortals are not afraid of silver and sunlight, but they cannot live forever like vampires, and they cannot obtain physical and magical strengthening, and the only advantage is that they can maintain the youth of their bodies and appearances, and they will age quickly until they are dying.

However, the essence of the blood slave contract is that the weak obey the strong, and if the vampire signs a contract with someone stronger than himself, then the effect of the contract will be reversed, and instead mortals can send the vampire - between Margaret and Janie, this is the reversal of the relationship between the slave and the bully.

But Margaret actually didn't suffer a loss, because a weak vampire can sign a blood slave contract with a large group of strong people, so that because one servant has multiple masters, the effect of the contract cancels each other, which is equivalent to everyone directing who not to move, and everyone has to provide for the vampire well, lest the vampire be killed and the contract will be invalid - in this way, the vampire's goal of recruiting blood slaves for himself to defend himself is equivalent to being achieved.

“…… Choking—"

The deepest secrets hidden in her heart are suddenly revealed, and Janie. Grouston was startled, and subconsciously pulled out a few daggers and throwing knives from the hem of his skirt, almost projecting them...... But after she calmed down, she quietly put away the murder weapons again.

“…… It turns out that everyone in the circle already knows? Okay, but I still don't understand, even if you need a group of people who can travel through time and space to help you build and fight, weishenme won't invite the Russians? She pointed at Sonya, "...... Haven't these werewolves always been close to you? ”

“…… My brother actually contacted Colonel Ihonovsky at the beginning. Unfortunately, both Russians and werewolves are naturally sensitive to heat, and in the first century B.C., during a global warm period, the temperature on the other side of the wormhole was a little higher than in modern Egypt......"

Wang Yao smiled bitterly, "...... Come to think of it, it's still just your number of people, and it's more heat-resistant......"

“…… That being the case, I think in principle that we should consider joint development. Jenny nodded and replied, "...... But this is a lot of work, and I'm certainly not qualified to make a decision, so I'll have to discuss it carefully with the rest of the organization......"

“…… Naa! Jenny, why did you come down on your own? Margaret protested with a waving little fist, "...... I still have something to ask! ”

“…… Oh, this one was my negligence. Wang Qiu looked at this cute vampire True Ancestor with interest, "...... Just ask! ”

So, the blonde Lori showed a look of expectation and embarrassment, and asked anxiously:

“…… That one...... Excuse me...... Are there enough virgins in Shijie over there? (To be continued......)
