If you put it on the surface, such a town is not very large, and it can probably accommodate thousands of people, and the living and living space is basically about the same as the average city in the pan-continent, but if it were moved underground and all the inhabitants are replaced by vampires, it is truly a miracle.

"All vampires, are they? Ahem, do we mean we have enough to eat?"

This underground town is indeed a great project that can be called a miracle, but if enough people are mobilized, it is actually not difficult to build, not to mention the vampires who use a lot of strength and magical talent to completely crush humans to work as workers, which greatly reduces the difficulty of construction. However, Nagi is puzzled, what exactly do these thousands of vampires living underground rely on for food? There are many notorious vampire families in history, many of them are rooted in food-rich places like the slums of the imperial capital, which have a population of hundreds of thousands, but in order to ensure that there is no shortage of food, they also limit the family size to 100 people.

"In fact, a controlled blood supply of three adult men is enough to feed a vampire, and of course we have a lot of blood slaves in captivity here, but this is the main source of food. ”

Pulling a peanut-sized blood-red stone from his coat pocket and holding it in his hand, Virginia explained to Nagi with a smile.

"This, is it a blood essence stone?"

Blinking, although it was much larger than the one he had seen in Anthea's hand, Nagi still recognized the name of the thing, the Blood Essence Stone, a strange gem that had replaced gold and silver as a general equivalent in Higashiki Town.

"That's right, you try to inject magic into it?"

Throwing the blood essence stone in his hand into Nagi's hand, Virginia said with her arms crossed.

Infused with magic?Playing with the blood essence stone in his hand, Nagi couldn't tell anything special about this thing, except that the color was brighter than ordinary stones. Pointing his index finger at this blood essence stone, he slowly injected the magic power into it along his fingertips, and the originally dull stone suddenly emitted a strange red light, like a piece of burning charcoal. As the magic continued to be infused, the cold stone began to heat up little by little, and then gradually expanded and softened like a pudding under Nagi's gaze.

"That's enough, now put it in your mouth!"

As if instructing the chef of his junior, Virginia watched the Blood Essence Stone in Nagi's hand as if it were a fire, and suddenly exclaimed the moment it softened completely.

"What?"

Raised his head to look at Virginia, who looked serious, and then looked down at the blood essence stone that was shaking vigorously in his hand like jelly after being injected with magic power, isn't this thing a stone? What does it mean to put it in your mouth......?

Boom!

Just as Nagi hesitated, it seemed that he finally couldn't bear the pressure of injecting magic power, and the softer and softer blood essence stone exploded in Nagi's palm like a pinched water balloon with a muffled sound, and bright red liquid like blood plasma shot out, covering the two people standing together.

"You're hairy, aren't you going to eat it quickly? That's the amount of a whole day. ”

Pulling out a white silk scarf from his pocket and wiping the plasma off his face, Virginia pursed her lips in annoyance and pointed at Nagi.

"Is this, blood?"

The liquid splashed on his body emitted a strong smell of blood, and in combination with the implied meaning of Virginia's words, Nagi immediately realized that the liquid transformed from the blood essence stone was nothing else, it was the blood that was constantly flowing in everyone's body. I'm glad I didn't listen to Virginia and eat this thing directly, she's not really a vampire, and even if the ghost knows who the blood is drawn from, it's a little disgusting to think about.

"What a waste," Virginia said with a look of pity as she stretched out her little red tongue and licked the plasma that had been splashed on the back of her hand. The so-called blood essence stone is actually processed from fresh human blood, those humans on the ground will go to the castle and exchange their blood for blood essence stones that can be traded, and we will charge half of their blood essence stones as a price, but in the end, those blood essence stones left in the hands of humans will be ours in the end, taxes, and some magic potions that they can't make at all are a lucrative business, but even so, those humans who were originally criminals are still grateful to Lord Dior!"

I see, Nagi suddenly clapped his hands, in order to facilitate their own eating, ordinary vampires will choose to go down from the weakest jugular vein of people, but in this way, not to mention that it is easy to accidentally injure the arteries and trachea, even if a seasoned vampire finishes eating, it is almost impossible for a person with a neck injury to survive it, so vampires must kill a human life almost every time they eat. However, in fact, even if one-tenth of the blood in the human body is extracted at one time, the person will not have any major problems, and only need to rest for a few days to recover as before, and the vampire does not actually need to drain a person when he eats at one time, but they are not responsible for throwing the seriously injured victim and running away after they are full, as for how much blood the victim has left, whether it can be rescued, it will not be considered at all, which gives the vampire the wrong understanding that he must kill people to survive.

"Winterwood Town has a population of tens of thousands, and if they are allowed to continuously supply blood here, it is indeed possible to ensure the food source here, I have to say, this is really a smart approach. ”

Looking at the vampire city with people coming and going at her feet, is this the society where vampires and people coexist that Ellie expects? However, if you think about it from the standpoint of human beings, the success here can't help but feel creepy, just a town with a population of 10,000 is enough to feed a vampire city of 3,000 people, so what if it is a city with a population of tens or even millions like the imperial capital? You must know that the biggest advantage of humans over vampires is actually the huge gap in population, but if vampires are all multiplied like here, and the absolute suppression of numbers is lost, I am afraid that humans will really be reduced to an inferior race.

"Let's go to my house first, I've been covered in blood, and this dress is terrible. ”

The shoulder blades shrank back, and a pair of black bat wings tore the back of Virginia's black dress and grew out from behind.

"Still saying that we are wasteful, can we still use clothes for washing?"

Nagi, who put his arm around Virginia's waist and leaned his body against the other party, muttered, It's really too difficult to change the batwing or something, so it's better to be cheeky and hitchhike first.

"I can lend you a few clothes, there's no need for that. ”

Virginia gave Nagi a strange look, afraid of damaging her clothes, but judging by how Nagi was dressed, she didn't look like the kind of frugal guy.

"That, let's, let'......"

Isn't it so easy to fool around? How to answer, stammering to hold the time, and the anxious face of the anxious who didn't know how to shirk for a while turned red.

"Aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourself, you haven't tried it, so you're afraid you won't be able to fly? Hehe, idiot, you'll never use your wings if you don't dare to try! Forget it, anyway, after you take Louise away, you won't have anything to do with me, so you won't waste time." ”

However, Virginia seemed to think a little more, and while Nagi was still struggling with how to justify, she first helped Nagi find a step that could be lowered, and pulled Nagi to her front and hugged each other, Virginia flapped her wings and jumped forward, and the two slowly glided forward under the effect of the bat's wings.

"Wow, verbose! We're going to take care of you, stupid!"

As if shy buried her head in Virginia's arms, Nagi's face had a wicked smile on her face.
