Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 242 The task is to dream

at dusk.

Langdenheim, the inner city gate.

Pierre, who had short brown hair and wore a black double-breasted dress with his collar turned up, politely stopped Lilith:
"Sorry, I can't let you pass without a pass."

"Isn't this okay?"

Lilith frowned slightly, and took out a wooden sign.

Pierre glanced at it and shook his head:

"This is a pass for the outer city."

Langdenheim under the rule of the blood clan has always been strictly hierarchical. Although the foreign blood clan can automatically obtain a pass to freely enter and exit Langdenheim, it is only limited to the outer city.However, the ruling class of Langdenheim lived in the inner city, so it was naturally not a place where ordinary blood races could set foot.

So the guards in the outer city are just blood servants, while the gates of the inner city are guarded by the blood clans themselves.

In fact, more than once, blood races from the outer city wanted to mix into the inner city, so as to "reach the sky in one step"——

Not only can he rely on this in the inner city, but he also has the opportunity to hook up with the big shots in the inner city.

As for such people, Pierre did not know how many times he had stopped them, and he would never give such people a good face.If it wasn't for Lilith's appearance that made him a little surprised, and he wanted to make a good impression, he wouldn't have talked with her in such a soft voice.

Pierre glanced over the embers, and didn't linger too much on the blood eater, but set his eyes on the silver-haired loli who was being led by embers.The blood-red eyes proved the other party's identity as a minor, but Pierre subconsciously denied the possibility that the other party was Lilith's daughter, only thinking that she was Lilith's younger sister.

"Huh?" Lilith frowned slightly, and Olmer invited her to the party.As a result, she can't even enter the inner city now. Olmer hasn't considered this situation, has he?

Pierre looked at the girl who seemed to be frowning in distress, and said politely:

"If you don't have an inner city pass, please leave as soon as possible, this is my job."

"Wait, is this okay?"

Lilith thought for a while, and took out the bronzing invitation letter.

"This is……"

Pierre's eyes were instantly attracted by the invitation letter, but when he saw the upper right corner of the invitation letter, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Because there is a seven-pointed star magic circle there, it looks rather inconspicuous, but there is no blood in the entire Landheim who does not know the meaning of this emblem-the family emblem of the Todbringer family!
Pierre lowered his head and asked cautiously:
"You, no, are you here for the Todbringer family dinner?"

"Yes."

Lilith nodded slightly, showing a faint smile: "Olmer invited me here."

"Olmer?"

Pierre was stunned. There was only one Olmer in the Todbringer family, and that was Lord Lucius' third son, Olmer Todbringer!
Although he is only the third son, he is after all the heir of Lord Luzius and a member of the Todbringer family!And how could the identity of the blood clan invited by Olmer be so simple?
While Pierre was thinking, he suddenly recalled that Olmer suddenly left the inner city two days ago——

For the great nobles living in the inner city, they don't want to have too much interaction with the "lower blood" living in the outer city, so naturally they don't often go in and out of the outer city.

And Olmer left the inner city suddenly, and Pierre guessed that the other party must have something important to do.But looking back now, could it be that Olmer left the inner city to send her an invitation letter?
If so, what is her identity?
Pierre's expression became more and more respectful, and he lowered his eyebrows and said:
"You are coming to the inner city for the first time, and you may not be familiar with the roads in the inner city. I can show you the way..."

Lilith still had a faint smile on her face, and politely declined Pierre's gracious proposal:

"Thanks, but I think I know how to go."

"Ok."

Feeling unwilling, Pierre was about to say a few more words.

In the next second, I saw Lilith suddenly showing a smile, holding the arm of the man next to her affectionately, and said softly:

"Let's go, honey~"

Pierre's eyes widened suddenly, he was just eating blood, why should he? !

Jealousy could almost burst from his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.After all, no matter what Lilith wanted to do with her blood food, it was her own business, Pierre had no right to interfere, and could only watch them leave.

After leaving the city gate, Ember's expression became a little helpless:

"Can you be normal?"

"Am I abnormal?" Lilith blinked and asked back with a smile.

Ember stopped, and in the girl's puzzled expression, said earnestly:

"Promise me, don't pinch next time."

"Hmm~"

Lilith puffed up her face angrily, she turned her head away and didn't want to talk to him, she was angry!

Olnia's wine red eyes are fixed on Lilith's arm, why don't you let go of your hand when you are angry?
-
Backlund, West Borough, inside the villa of Audra's family.

Emlyn White, who was summoned, took off his hat and coat, and walked into the reception room to wait.

In this room, apart from him, there are ten other blood races that the big man called to meet.After looking around, Emlyn chose a seat and sat down next to a man with a nose bridge that was so high that it was somewhat deformed.

The man had brown hair and red eyes, and a deep-lined face. He was holding a picture book in his hand, flipping through it aimlessly.His name was Ernes Boyar, and he was a Viscount.Emlyn White was not familiar with him, but they knew each other.

After all, if the blood race wants to have offspring, it needs the inheritance of extraordinary characteristics, so the population has never been called prosperous.Coupled with the regular gatherings between the blood clans, this allows the small blood clans to clearly remember each other's names and family backgrounds even if they are not familiar with each other.

So with just a glance, Emlyn White found that all the vampires in this room who were summoned were either Barons or Viscounts!

And unlike those old viscounts, according to the age of the blood clan, the oldest people here are only middle-aged.Almost all the backbone of the 'younger generation' are concentrated here!
This discovery immediately alerted Emlyn White, realizing that this time things might not be simple.

Emlyn thought carefully for a while, then said after deliberation:

"Your Excellency the Viscount, why do you think that person summoned us here?"

Ernes Boyar glanced at Emlyn and shook his head slightly:

"I don't know either, just wait patiently, Kasimi will tell us."

Emlyn frowned slightly. This is the villa of the Audra family, and the owner of the house is Kasimi Audra.So before coming here, Emlyn had already subconsciously believed that the big man who summoned them was Kasimi's grandfather, the Marquis of Nibais.

The reason why he chose to ask Ernes was because Ernes was one of the few viscounts here, and he must know much more information than a newly promoted baron like him.

After all, the blood race is different from human beings. The blood race that has been passed down for thousands of years is already very mature in terms of the structure of the Extraordinary system.This has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that there are a lot of high-sequence Extraordinary within the blood race, even more than the Orthodox Church.The disadvantage is that the class is solidified, and it is almost impossible for the low-sequence blood race to get promoted.

Because the vampires can only be promoted through the blood essence, and the blood essence is the product left after the death of the vampires, so the barons can only be promoted when other viscounts die.

Just like Viscount Ernes, it took him 60 years to go from baron to viscount!

This is because Viscount Ernes' father was attacked by a man-made vampire and died young, otherwise he might not be able to wait 200 years for his father to die naturally.

Once you become a viscount, you are eligible to compete for the earl.Although most of the vampires have kept one qualification all their lives, in a sense the viscount is already a quasi-high-level vampire, and they can often get some secret inside information.

And now even the Viscount didn't know why they were summoned, which instead made Emlyn feel a little heavy.

After all, the last time the Marquis of Nibais summoned him, it was to make him pray to the 'Fool'.Although this brought him great benefits, Emlyn was even prepared to sacrifice for the blood race before he really prayed—

After all, praying to an unknown god other than the seven righteous gods, the greatest probability is to die suddenly on the spot instead of receiving gifts and praises. Mr. Fool can only be regarded as an exception among many gods.

And this time he was not the only one who was summoned, but also a large number of barons and even viscounts, corresponding to Sequence 6 and Sequence 5, and they were at least deacon-level Beyonders in major churches.

It is no exaggeration to say that this group of people can almost be called the strongest under the demigods!
And this also means that the tasks entrusted to them will only be more dangerous than imagined.

Emlyn looked around, and began to hesitate whether he should find an excuse to go to the bathroom, and pray to Mister Fool first...

Emlyn just thought of this, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed:

"Mother God, how can I have such an idea? My belief is obviously the ancestor!"

At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Kasimi Audra walk into the reception room, looked around and said:

"Everyone, come with me, the big man asked you to meet him."

The expressions of all the blood races became serious in an instant, and Emlyn also restrained his emotions, pressed the lower part of the vest, and followed the others to quickly follow the pace of Kasimi Audra.

After coming to the underground area along the stairs, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a low voice:
"Baron Kasimi, who is the big man? What should I call him?"

He originally thought that it was the Marquis of Nibais who was going to meet them, but if it was the Marquis of Nibais, Kasimi would not continue to use the title of 'that big man', but would use 'my grandfather' to show that Showing his lofty status as the grandson of the Marquis.

Judging from Kasimi's current attitude, it is obvious that the one who wants to see them is an existence with a higher status than the Marquis of Nibais.And among the blood clan, there are only three people with a higher status than the Marquis...

Kasimi, who looked like a middle-aged gentleman, did not hide any more, and replied with respect in his tone:

"My lord, the Duke of Olmer."

Duke Olmer... Emlyn subconsciously straightened his back and turned his gaze to the light stand on the wall next to him, as if he wanted to confirm his appearance from the projection reflected on the metal surface.

This is one of the three Dukes currently in charge of the blood clan, an ancient strongman who existed before the catastrophe, titled 'Full Moon', over [-] years old, and once followed the ancestor Lilith!

In today's blood clan, Duke Olmer is also the strongest after the 'Blood Moon Queen' Olnia!
There is no doubt that this is synonymous with the history and glory of the blood race!

Emlyn glanced at the other people around him from the corner of his eye, and found that they had different expressions.A few of them had obvious expressions of excitement on their faces, while most of them were frowning, looking preoccupied.

It was an honor to be summoned by the Duke, but it also showed that the purpose of summoning them was not pure, and it might be full of danger.

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

The ground and walls here are covered with grass, flowers, and grains, and many insects crawl among the densely packed plants, making Emlyn feel as if he left the city and came to 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 is a gap-like mouth on the grass, and fibers fly out of it, catching insects; flowers use branches and leaves as hands, picking nectar by themselves; grains such as wheat are heavy, and there are occasional cries from inside; insects Divided into many categories, all are different from normal, some have the head of a snake, and some have the face of a bird...

These things became more and more luxuriant toward the center of the hall, forming a vibrant tomb there.

Facing the tomb, Kasimi bowed respectfully and said:
"My lord, they are all here."

"Good evening, Your Excellency the Duke."

Emlyn wasn't as arrogant as usual, and was even a little at a loss, bowing his head respectfully like everyone else.

In the tomb, a mellow voice that could not tell the age laughed and said:
"Don't be nervous. You are the future of the blood race. I called you this time because I have an important task for you."

Emlyn's face became serious, and it was exactly as he had guessed.

He is a character who is content with pleasure, as long as he stays with his puppet wives, he is already content.And now there is Tarot Society as a backing support. He has been promoted to baron, and it is not impossible to be promoted to viscount or even earl in the future. In theory, he does not need to continue to take risks.

But as a member of the noble blood family, Emlyn thought he was not afraid of the mission.

Duke Olmer ordered:

"Kasimi, give them the rings."

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the tomb and stayed in front of them.

Emlyn took a closer look, and found that it was an iron box.

"Yes, Lord Duke."

Kasimi stepped forward respectfully, grabbed the iron box floating in mid-air, and lifted the lid in front of Emlyn and the others.There are twelve simple rings in the box, they have a uniform style, like bats flying with wings.

Kasimi distributed the rings to everyone in turn, and at the same time put the last ring on his finger——

Including him, there are a total of 12 people, one not too many and one not too many.

This made Emlyn a little confused.

Duke Olmer smiled and said:
"Your task is very simple, that is to come to me every night, wearing this ring and dreaming. Then, tell me everything that happened in the dream."

Emlyn was taken aback for a moment, doubting his ears.
