Chapter 22: Little Lori who made up the story
Kay Bradford's life is a bit like an upgraded stream novel in Dian Niang. To be fair, he is very talented, and he has climbed to his current position step by step by relying on his knowledge of alchemy and keen sense of politics.
However, everything changed when he stood at the top of the mountain of the noble circle of the Duchy of Federo. He didn't see the horizon in the distance, nor the sun at sunriseβit was another mountain, a mountain that belonged to a vampire.
It's like a dragon Aotian, when he worked hard to upgrade from a small shrimp to the so-called "Sanctuary" boss, he came to a new map with many Sanctuary as many dogs.
Yes, Kay Bradford tragically discovers that the marquis he has fought for most of his life is nothing more than a vampire fodder.
He had been feeling strange since before, the power circle of the Duchy of Federo was very abnormal, and in addition to the necessary means to manage the power and tie up the elites, the nobles with the excellent gladiator team could also rise all the way. Until one day, he learns about the existence of vampires.
So he understood who was really in power behind the country, and why the gladiators were so valuable.
Has Kay Bradford been frustrated by this? The career he has spent most of his life is at best a vampire cook.
The answer was no, and he was thrilled by it. Because he found something more attractive than power and money - immortality. Compared to the endless lifespan, everything you get is like peppercorns sprinkled on a steak, so insignificant.
He wanted to climb up, to climb higher. Until one day. These vampires recognize his worth and give him eternal life. It seems easy. But it's incredibly difficult. If you want to get the first hug, there are vampires who are willing to serve him all over the place. However, Kay Bradford is not looking for an inferior bloodline.
The more you learn about vampire culture. The more he understood the importance of bloodlines. Not to mention the blood clan below ten generations, even if it is five or six generations, there is not much power left from the bloodline. For vampires, the moment they are born, their own strength has been determined by bloodline, and the remaining sixty percent is half of cultivation, and the other half comes from high-quality "food" - pure and powerful girl's blood.
So when he heard some of the performances of the girl named Isa, his heart immediately flew up.
Young, pure. and has a strong strength, enough to defeat Su, who has been cultivated for many years, such a gladiator can be described as promising. Maybe it will be enough to impress Blossom and make him realize his long-cherished wish - the existence of "becoming a high-level blood clan".
However, he quickly calmed down. Maybe the girl named Isha is an opportunity, maybe it's ...... It's a trap.
A few days later......
He called the other party into the study.
"How's it going?"
"It's all normal training, but Marlock says there's a gladiatorial show next week. β
Leah replied. She felt a little uneasy in her heart, the other party was obviously not the one who would call her here because she cared.
"I heard your brother is a knight?"
Kai asked.
[It's coming, it's really a matter of life experience......]
Leah's heart tightened. The conversation that follows will be a minefield, and the slightest mistake will reveal a flaw.
"Yes. My brother was a knight. β
She nodded.
"Which lord did he serve, what was his position, and why did you come to the Duchy Federo from Randall?"
Kay threw out a barrage of questions.
"He served Baron Moeller. He was a member of the Baron's Knights. We're here because of my brother...... Became a deserter. At that time, the royalists were losing ground and many believed that the rebels would win the final victory......"
"Well, needless to say. β
With a wave of his hand, Kai stopped Leah from continuing to hack a poor knight. From the beginning to the end of the rebellion. The Duchy of Federo has an influx of Randallers. Like the story told by the girl in front of her, there are as many as you want, it is nothing more than being a deserter. Wanted throughout the country, he began to go into exile.
[Same as I was told.] It seems that she is not lying. γ
In fact, Kai had already sent spies during this time. From the Collinch family, who sent the girl, to the Randall kingdom where the girl once lived, everything could not be hidden from him.
Baron Maude did have several knights who deserted, including Isa's brother, a weak-willed man with little backbone. In the Principality of Federo, he was infected with forbidden potions, and he was addicted to gambling, and the final result was that even his sister lost everything. As for himself, he also became food for the Collinch family.
The girl's words, the Collinch family's answer, and the information from Randall's investigation fit perfectly together. However, Kay doesn't know that the Collinch family is a maiden league, and Baron Maud is a loyal member of the Farainn family. Long before coming here, a secret letter had already explained everything to Baron Maude.
A man who never existed, a girl who never existed, overnight, Baron Maude arranged everything. Wait for the spies who might come and let them bring back that false story.
As for Leah's "Air Brother", although Little Lori is a story made up with Alec as a template, but Alec was not allowed to really play this role, after all, one more big living person means more risk, so let that fake character be eliminated as soon as possible.
"Speaking of which, your brother doesn't seem to know you know magic. β
Kai asked.
[Woo!]
The girl's heart tightened, the name of the magic swordsman was a whim after coming here, although it increased some chips in the gladiatorial arena, but it also made the flawless story exposed.
But it didn't matter, she had already figured out how to answer.
"My brother...... He doesn't like magic. β
Leah opened her gaze and said with a gloomy expression.
[Stupid knights, who only know how to dance with swords and swords, will never be able to appreciate the charm of magic.] γ
Kai sneered inwardly. Little Lori cleverly used the subtle sense of hostility between the warrior and the mage from the profession to dispel the other party's doubts.
"And who taught you magic?"
Kai asked.
"An apprentice in magic, he taught me meditation and a few simple arcane magics. β
Leah replied.
"The name of the magic apprentice...... No...... Forget it......"
He wanted to ask for the man's name, but quickly gave up on the idea.
What if an apprentice magician knows his name? This insignificant existence is like a pebble in a river. Not to mention that when he investigated the young girl before, he had already attracted the attention of Baron Maude, and one of his spies was caught. If you go back now, you will undoubtedly increase unnecessary risks. (To be continued.) )
