Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 221 A Joke

Above the gray fog.

Klein used the 'Scepter of the Sea God' to punish a scum who dared to defraud property and defile women in the name of a fool, and threw the 'Scepter of the Sea God' back to the pile of debris, ready to return to the real world.

Suddenly, one of the crimson stars floating quietly in the boundless gray mist suddenly shone brightly, spreading light like water!

It expanded and contracted, contracted and expanded, and it was very conspicuous.

And this does not belong to the crimson 'star' of any member of the Tarot Society.

The corners of Klein's eyes twitched slightly. To be honest, he actually didn't want to touch that star.

Because 'Amon' would make harassing phone calls to him in different ways every day, wasting his time and energy.

But it was impossible not to watch it, Klein couldn't help it.

Eh!
Klein let out a long sigh, spreading his spirituality, and didn't respond, just browsing.

If it is related to Amon, then hang up the phone directly!

With Klein's spiritual touch, the ever-expanding and shrinking crimson "star" revealed the pictures and sounds it contained:

A dark-haired lady in an antique gown fell to the floor, writhing in agony and contortion.

She held a seemingly ordinary planetarium in one hand, and a short scepter that was no longer than the length of her forearm in the other. Her strong will to survive almost broke through the shackles of the crimson 'stars' and directly passed into Klein's ears.

Klein observed silently for a few seconds in order to confirm that the other party was not possessed by Amon.

After hesitating for two seconds, Klein still decided to lend a helping hand.

He retrieved the Seagod's Scepter from the 'debris pile', and his own spirituality surged, pouring into the crimson light flowing like water.

This time, he established a mysterious and stable connection with relative ease.

The figure of the black-haired lady appeared on the side of the long bronze table in an instant, sitting on a chair that was not a current member of the Tarot Society.

The black-haired lady seemed to be in a daze. After a brief silence, she looked at the figure sitting leisurely at the top of the mottled long table, narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked cautiously:
"What should I call you?"

"You can call me Mister Fool." Klein replied skillfully.

The black-haired lady was silent for a few seconds, and she said in a deep voice:

"My name is Cattleya, and I have a nickname of Admiral of the Stars.

"Mr. Fool, did you save me?"
-
It didn't take long to walk along the direction where the three outliers came, and Ember and Lilith found an artificially opened and smooth road.

The road extends to a mountain depression, and under the light of the crimson moon, the outline of the building is looming——

It was a small town composed of towering castles and hundreds of low houses of various sizes.

The periphery of the town is a wall made of sharpened logs, and the road leads to the 'gate' of the wall.There is also a towering sentry tower behind the 'gate'. Under the crimson moonlight, the guards on the watchtower can be vaguely seen.

Perhaps because they were worried about attracting other predators, they did not light the torches, and only relied on the crimson moonlight to observe the abnormalities around them.

But fortunately, the crimson moon's light has always been bright, and the visibility at night is not low.In addition, Ember did not hide her own thoughts, and has been walking on the artificially opened road, so she should not be conspicuous anymore.

When the guards on the sentry tower saw the two people appearing from the darkness, they wanted to ring the alarm bell almost immediately.

But before that, Lilith had already flown up to the sentry tower with the help of condensed bat wings and stood in front of the guards.

When the guard saw the illusory wings condensed by the thick black mist behind the girl, and the other's iconic red eyes, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling tone:
"My lord, I, I didn't know it was you..."

Lilith was not surprised by the guard's attitude, and asked casually:
"Where is your guardian?"

On this continent, human beings have always been at the bottom of the food chain, and most of them barely survived by relying on the blessing of the blood race.Almost every human settlement is ruled by the blood race, and the blood race also calls themselves the 'guardian'——

The vampires provide protection to humans, and as a price, humans need to provide blood to the vampires on a regular basis.

The guard trembled and explained:
"Master Guardian just went out for inspection not long ago, and they haven't come back yet..."

"Eh?"

Lilith blinked, and suddenly had a bold idea, and asked:
"How many guardians are there in your town?"

The guard stretched out three fingers tremblingly, and this also made Lilith guess the stone hammer.

The guardians of this town are probably those three outliers!
Outliers had to leave the group to survive alone because of the slaughter of their own kind, but they were powerful blood clans after all, and they still dominated when facing humans.And in order to obtain enough blood food, the outliers usually look for some human settlements to rule.

And it's the same as humans build fences to drive away wild animals in order to ensure the safety of domestic animals.In order to ensure the safety of blood food, the vampires will also go out to conduct 'inspection' and 'hunting', driving or killing those extraordinary creatures that approach.

And the blood clan that rules this town may be those three outliers.

They stumbled upon Lilith and Ember who appeared nearby during their patrol, and took them as prey, but she killed them instead...

"Call everyone."

Lilith sorted out the context of the matter, and ordered without hesitation: "I have something important to order."

The guard trembled slightly. He really wanted to say that he needed the permission of the guardians, but he was facing a blood clan who was as powerful and noble as the guardians, and he had no right to refuse.

"My lord, please wait a moment..."

The guard stood up tremblingly, walked carefully to the alarm bell, and rang it.

when!
The loud bells rang through the silent night sky, waking up the sleeping people.

It's not that the guards want to take the opportunity to rebel, it's just that it's the fastest way to gather others.

"Yah~!"

Lilith seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly exclaimed, startling the guard who was ringing the bell, her legs softened and she knelt down again.

Lilith hurriedly ordered:
"Open the door."

The embers are still out there!
"Need not."

Ember's calm voice sounded behind her: "I've already come in."

The guard cautiously raised his head to look at the embers that suddenly appeared, his eyes fell on the other's eyes, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Because Ember's eyes are not red.

Lilith turned her head to look at Ember, with a flattering smile on her face, and whispered guiltyly:
"I said I wanted to make sure it was safe here, would you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you."

Ember patted the girl's head, which made her feel a little more relaxed, but the next sentence made her heart rise to her throat again:

"But there will be no next time."

"No, there won't be a next time!" Lilith promised hastily.

Ember looked away, he actually didn't care about such trivial matters.Lilith has been very depressed along the way, and now it's rare to show herself in front of others, so it's understandable to get carried away.But a pet should look like a pet, and you can't forget the owner completely just because you patronize yourself to play.

The guard lowered his head a little apprehensively and confusedly.

Uneasy because he was afraid that he would be silenced by Lilith, and confused because he didn't understand why a powerful blood like Lilith would be so obedient to a seemingly ordinary human being?

Is this reasonable?

At this moment, sparks lit up everywhere in the town, and the people who were awakened in the middle of the night held torches and weapons and left the warm bed in fear and confusion, but they didn't know what happened.

Ember standing on the sentry tower looked down condescendingly, pointed to the open space in the middle of the town, and said:

"Let them gather in that clearing."

The guard hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Lilith.

"Do as he says."

Lilith frowned slightly, and repeated, "Let everyone gather in that open space."

"My lord, calm down, I'm going!"

The guard lowered his head in fear, hurriedly climbed down the sentry tower, and conveyed Lilith's order to the town guards who had gathered below.

Although the members of the guards who came in a hurry didn't know what happened, their expressions became tense when they learned that the order was given by a powerful blood race.No one dared to slack off the orders issued by a powerful blood clan, and hurriedly organized other townspeople to gather in the open space as ordered.

"Let's go." Ember looked at the chaotic crowd below, and ordered:

"The next thing will be left to you to handle."

People in this era obviously only recognize vampires with red eyes, because that is one of the characteristics of powerful vampires.

Ember doesn't care who is in charge in the eyes of others, he just simply hates trouble.So instead of letting Lilith explain his identity to others, it is better to let Lilith handle it.

After finishing speaking, Ember jumped off the tower first.

Lilith obediently followed behind her, her jet-black wings stretched out behind her, allowing the girl to land lightly on the ground.

Under the sentry tower, although most of the people had gone to organize the townspeople, there were still three people who stayed.

Seeing the two leave from the sentry tower, they immediately greeted them.

"grown ups."

The leading brown-haired youth in leather armor stepped forward and said respectfully, "My name is Dill, and I am Lord Ballard's servant."

"Dill?"

Lilith carefully looked at Ember carefully from the corner of her eye, and after confirming that he had no intention of making a sound, she asked:
"Ballard is your guardian?"

"Yes."

The brunette young man who claimed to be Dill was taken aback for a moment. He didn't seem to expect her to ask such a question, but he still nodded:
"Lord Ballard is the First Guardian."

Lilith asked curiously:
"Is there another person named Sith?"

Dill raised his head in surprise:

"Master Sith is the third guardian, do you know several guardians?"

The blood clans are not monolithic, even humans who are the ruled class are very clear about this.If it is a hostile blood race, the humans under their rule will attack each other, and even kill the humans ruled by the other party.

But if two blood races know each other, the chance of conflict between them is very low, which means that they don't need to fight.This is undoubtedly a good thing for their town.

"Of course I do."

Lilith looked playfully at the surprised young man in front of her, and said with a smile, "We just met not long ago, and your guardian seems to have taken me as a prey. Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Lily Silk."

"..."

Dilton's breathing stagnated for a moment, and his pupils shrank sharply.

The three guardians regarded the girl in front of them as a prey, but now the girl who appeared in front of them was the prey girl. Do you have to ask what will happen to the three guardians?
"Master Lilith..."

Cold sweat broke out on Dill's forehead, and his voice trembled slightly.

If the guardians have been killed, what will happen to their town?The blood race in front of him probably followed the traces left by the guardians to find their town, and what greeted them next might be a massacre!

Lilith saw the panic in Dill's heart, waved her hand and said:

"Don't worry, they have already paid the price of their lives for their rudeness, and they will not blame you."

Dill was still feeling uneasy, and asked calmly:
"Then, Master Lilith, why are you here?"

Lilith said as a matter of course:
"Passing by."

"Passing by?" Dill was breathless. Of course he didn't believe it, but he didn't have the capital to ask.

Lilith glanced at the crowd gathering towards the open space in the distance, and asked casually:

"How many people are there in your town? How many transformed blood servants are there?"

Dill hesitated for a few seconds, but still didn't dare to hide it, and whispered:

"There are more than 3000 people in the town, and all the guards are blood servants of the guardians. There are 32 people in total."

"32 blood servants?"

Lilith blinked, and asked a little curiously, "There are so many people, don't you think about resisting?"

Blood races are born with the ability to domesticate and drive other creatures. When they are young, they can only domesticate plants. When they grow up a bit, they can domesticate and drive animals, even supernatural creatures.

And when they become adults, the vampires can domesticate and drive humans, and these 'domesticated' humans are vampires.

The so-called blood servant is actually a magic-like ability belonging to the moon domain. It is similar to the 'First Embrace', but it does not need to be given extraordinary characteristics.

After a human being becomes a blood servant, his physique will be greatly enhanced, and at the same time, he will be immune to most diseases.But the 'Blood Servant' cannot disobey the master's orders, it is equivalent to becoming a puppet of a certain blood clan.

But now, the masters of these blood servants have died, and they are tantamount to becoming 'free people'.

32 blood servants can be considered a good combat power.

Dill's pupils shrank sharply, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in horror:
"Master Lilith was joking, how dare we resist the blood race?"

He did have similar thoughts, but they were just thoughts.

The girl in front of her looks innocent and innocent, with a delicate figure.

But since the other party can kill the three guardians, how can they be afraid of these blood servants?
"Kidding."

Lilith smiled and said, "Stand up and take me to find someone else."

Dill got up from the ground, wiped the cold sweat off his head, and bowed humblely:
"Yes, yes, Master Lilith, this way please..."
