Chapter Twenty-Three: The Duke (Monday Recommendation Ticket Monthly Pass)

Inside the villa of the Oakland family, West End, Beckland.

Emlyn White, who had been summoned, took off his hat and coat, and went into the living room to wait.

In this room, in addition to him, there were several other bloods that the big man wanted to see by name, and Emlyn looked around and chose a place to sit down, next to a man with a nose bridge that was a little deformed.

The man had brown hair and red eyes, a deep face line, and a picture album in his hand, which he looked through aimlessly.

He was none other than the Bloodline who had previously provided Emlyn with information on the abandoned castle in the middle of the Delares Forest, called Ernes Boyar, and was a viscount.

Emlyn had planned to visit the viscount in the next few days, but he didn't expect to meet him here, he thought carefully for a while, and then said:

"Your Excellency, I know very well, where did you get the information about the abandoned castle in the Delares Forest?"

"What? Your customers tell you there are no ancient wraiths there?" Ernes Boyar glanced away from the album and glanced at Emlyn.

"No, it's not. Emlin didn't explain, but insisted on the question, "I'm just curious about the source of that information, it doesn't sound that simple. ”

Ernest Boyar closed the album and nodded slightly:

"It's not a secret, I learned it from Lord Nibais, and frankly, I've never heard of it before, and it's hard to imagine that there is such a castle in the Forest of Delare. ”

Lord Nibes...... Emlyn intuitively had a thought in her mind:

Another temptation......

But such a temptation is too dangerous, isn't it? It has to be solved by Mr. "Fool...... Emlyn frowned slightly, recalling some of the details he had considered before, and asked tentatively:

"Your Excellency, why don't you explore the castle yourself? I remember you were an archaeologist, and in the process you were able to harvest extraordinary materials corresponding to ancient wraiths. ”

Ernes gave Emlyn a strange look and said:

"Lord Nibes told me that it was dangerous, and that it was best not to approach it until it was an earl. ”

"......" Emlin's mouth was half open, and his expression was a little dull.

He immediately held back his anger and suppressed his voice:

"Why didn't you remind me of this before?"

Ernes laughed and said:

"Isn't that something obvious?

"How can an extraordinary creature that has been mastered by our bloodline know the specific situation of a specific place without a special reason?"

Seeing that Emlyn was a little dazed, he added:

"Normal intelligence should be like this, there may be ancient spirits somewhere in the Delares Forest that someone has encountered before, but can't find the root cause of their origin.

"This means that it is very difficult and troublesome to find those ancient wraiths, and the cost of time is likely to be higher than their value, so they can live until now.

"I thought you could easily spot that intelligence, and so would your customers, who would have been sure to act accordingly if they chose to act. ”

At the first moment, Emlin felt that what Viscount Ernest said was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute it at all, thinking that he and Miss "Magician" were too stupid to encounter danger, and they had nothing to do with each other.

In the second moment, Emlyn was ashamed and annoyed, full of resentment towards herself.

In the third moment, Emlin had another problem:

"Regardless of whether the intelligence itself reveals danger or not, ErnΓ©s Boyar should clearly inform this, because figuring out the extent of the danger, the source of the danger, and the manifestation of the danger is of great significance and indispensable for subsequent exploration!"

He did it on purpose! Emlyn made the final judgment in his heart, his scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his chin slightly:

"Yes, it's easy to see, but I wonder more about the dangers that lurk in that abandoned castle. ”

Ernes picked up the black tea next to him and tasted it:

"I don't know, Master Nibes didn't say it. ”

Emlyn's expression sank, and he was about to say something sarcastic, when he suddenly saw Cassimi Odra enter the living room, look at him, and say:

"Emlyn, the great man told you to see Him. ”

"Okay. Emlyn reined in her emotions, pressed the lower part of her waistcoat, and stood up unhurriedly.

After following the stairs to the underground area, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a low voice:

"Baron Casimi, who is the big one, and what shall I call him?"

Casimi, who looked like a middle-aged gentleman, did not hide it any longer, and replied in a respectful tone:

"Lord Duke Olmer. ”

Duke of Olmer...... Emlyn subconsciously straightened her back and looked at the lampstand on the wall next to her, as if trying to confirm her meter from the projection reflected on the metal surface.

This is one of the three dukes currently in charge of the blood clan, an ancient powerhouse that existed before the cataclysm, with the title of "Full Moon", more than three thousand years old, and once followed the ancestor Lilith!

Undoubtedly, this is synonymous with the history and glory of the Bloodline!

Through a series of secret doors, Emlyn and Kasimi came to an iron-gray hall.

The ground and walls are covered with grass, flowers and grains, and insects crawl among the dense vegetation, making Emlyn feel as if he has left the city and entered the suburbs, feeling the vitality of life.

At first glance, there is nothing too strange about such a scene, but if you look closely, many places are extremely strange:

There are crack-like mouths on the grass, and fibers fly out of them, catching insects, flowers use branches and leaves as hands, picking nectar by themselves, wheat and other grains are heavy, and occasionally the cry of waw comes from inside, and insects are divided into many types, all of which are different from normal, some have the head of a snake, and some have the face of a bird......

These things flourished further into the center of the hall, where a vigorous tomb was entangled.

Facing the tomb, Al Qasimi saluted respectfully:

"Lord Duke, Emlyn White is here. ”

"Good afternoon, Lord Duke. "Emlyn wasn't as arrogant as usual, even a little bit at a loss.

In the grave, a mellow voice that could not hear age laughed:

"A great young bloodline.

"Casimi, you get out of here first. ”

"Yes, Lord Duke. Casimi bowed in response, leaving the iron-gray but fresh hall.

Emlyn stood there and heard a mellow voice coming from inside the tomb and asked:

"In the morning, Nibes said that you have obtained the extraordinary characteristics of an artificial vampire corresponding to the viscount rank?"

"Yes, but it's contaminated and needs to be purified first. "Emlyn hadn't mentioned anything about removing the spiritual contamination from the extraordinary trait before, because he believed it would be an easy thing for the Bloodline, at least Baron Casimi had confirmed that it could.

Olmer, Duke of the Bloodline, said "um":

"Very well, I'll do the purification of that trait myself. ”

He paused and said:

"Although the Bloodline is a long-lived race, there will still be growth and aging, there will be new life and death, no matter what, for a race, cultivating young members is a must to do, and you have recently shown outstanding talent and excellent ability, and have become the object of our greatest attention, so, I came to meet you in person, and give you some tests, so that you can grow as soon as possible. ”

Outstanding talent and excellent ability...... Emlyn's jaw quietly lifted a little more.

He immediately sighed in his heart:

Sure enough, as Mr. "The Hanged Man" judged, there will be tests, there will be tasks, and there will be face-to-face scrutiny......

In the midst of the surge of emotion, Emlyn replied respectfully:

"I'm always ready. ”

"Not bad. Olmer's mellow voice came from the grave, "Your next task is to find out the important members of the Rose School lurking in Beckland, in this regard, there are few clues, and many situations need to be investigated on your own. ”

"The Rose School?do they have a grudge against our Bloodline?They seem to have accepted some followers of the Primordial Moon?" Emlyn had actually learned a lot about the Rose School at the Tarot meeting, but she deliberately covered it up and didn't show it that much.

"In addition to accepting the Primordial Moon believers, they also possess a sacred relic of our Bloodline, which is a legacy of the First Ancestor and must be retrieved. There was a bit more seriousness in Olmer's tone.

Legacy of the First Father...... Relic of the Bloodline...... Without hesitation, Emlyn spoke:

"Lord Duke, I will try to find important members of the Rose School in Beckland. ”

Olmer's voice turned judo:

"Very well, you wait to get some information from Casimi and find out where to get in. ”

Emlyn was a little impatient, but she restrained herself and asked thoughtfully:

"Lord Duke, do you know the abandoned castle in the middle of the Delares Forest?"

"You want to go there? That's dangerous. Olmer, the Duke of the Bloods in the grave, answered.

Emlyn didn't explain, but asked:

"What kind of danger is it?"

Olmer laughed:

"The castle may be older than I am, older than the Delares Forest.

"I don't know who built it, but I know that there is something sealed underneath it, and it holds a big secret.

"Any creature that comes near it is in danger of being corrupted by the forces of the Fallen, we used to think it had something to do with the abyss, but when a demon was thrown into the castle, it was also eroded, and it went from cold cruelty to mad chaos. ”

Then why don't you try to open the seal and figure things out?" Emlyn muttered inwardly, but didn't speak.

Olmer, the Duke of the Bloodline titled "Full Moon", didn't say anything more, ended the conversation, and let Emlyn leave the hall.

............

In the evening, dark clouds were piling up in Beckland, and a light rain began to fall.

Emlyn wore a top hat and walked under the covered arcade, his scarlet eyes locked on Viscount Ernes Boyar, who was strolling through the antique shop in front of him.

He was annoyed that the other party had deliberately provided incomplete information, and after leaving Odra's house, he subconsciously followed him.

But after walking for a while, he became confused again, because he hadn't figured out how to deal with Ernes, and he hadn't figured out how far he was going to go.
