I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 423 Are you looking for me?

Kingdom of Bolin, Dukedom of Burns,
The night was like thick ink, slowly covering the black castle on the top of the cliff. The castle seemed to rise from the abyss, and every black brick and stone seemed to be telling an ancient secret.

The moonlight danced on the castle's spire, but it was difficult to penetrate the thick shadow. It could only cast mottled light and shadow, adding a bit of weirdness to the quiet night.

Around the castle is a barren rocky area, with a few twisted trees growing tenaciously. Their branches and leaves sway in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if whispering about the castle's past. In the distance, a winding path is like a thin silver ribbon, connecting the castle with the town in the distance.

In the night, the outline of the castle loomed in the night. The towering walls, sharp towers and closed iron gates all revealed an inviolable majesty. The windows of the castle were pitch black, as if countless pairs of eyes were secretly watching the outside world, which made people shudder. A breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coldness, and also brought the lights of the town in the distance, which formed a sharp contrast with the lonely castle.

There were almost no lights in the entire castle, as if no one lived here.

But the residents of the town at the foot of the mountain were not too curious about this. Burns Castle had been like this for many years, and they were accustomed to the eccentricity of the Duke of Burns.

But even so, no one dared to offend the majesty of the Duke of Burns.

After a hundred years of rule, Duke Burns has established a very solid control over this territory.

However, maybe the lord doesn't care about these.
In a quiet secret room somewhere in the castle, there was no special decoration, except for a very gorgeously decorated black and gold coffin placed in the middle.

Click~
The coffin, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly moved, and the sound of movement echoed in the silent room.

A pale hand reached out from within and grasped the edge of the coffin.

In an instant, the black and red air currents that filled the entire room rushed into the coffin like a young swallow flying into an arms.

In the darkness, a figure vaguely sat up from the coffin and stretched out his right hand as if grabbing something.

"Has Lord Cain's power been triggered?"

"Is it Angela?"

"This aura. A legendary vampire?"

The next day, Kate City,
Last night's battle has completely ended, and the magic circle set up by Li Si has completely disappeared, but the battle was not meaningless.

Although the two vampires used a powerful attack brought about by the legendary secret treasure, which was eventually resisted by Angela using the power derived from Cain, the magic circle used by Li Si resisted the remaining aftermath, so there were no casualties among the residents of Kate City in this battle.

However, the houses within the magic circle had no such luck. They were almost completely destroyed, leaving only ruins in an area.

The once prosperous streets are now in ruins, with broken bricks and rubble scattered all over the ground, as if telling of the fierce battle of last night.

At this time, people arranged by Marquis Kate were cleaning up the ruins. The air was filled with the smell of dust and gunpowder, which made people frown.

Among these people, the city guards of Kate City were dressed in neat armor and patrolling in the ruins.

They carefully cleaned up the traces left by the gold-level vampires to ensure that the remaining power of those vampires would not affect the entire Kate City.

They searched every corner carefully, not missing any suspicious clues.

But these are no longer what Li Si and Marquis Kate care about.

The wealth accumulated by the vampires over the years has been completely handed over to Li Si by Marquis Kate. He hardly helped in last night's battle, so naturally he would not covet it.

What's more, the performance of Li Si and Angela last night had completely intimidated Marquis Kate, making him dare not have any evil thoughts.

Especially when the blood claw was chopped off, the noble figure standing behind Angela made Marquis Kate almost kneel down and offer his faith.

He even had a vague feeling that the powerful force seemed to come from a more noble existence, even above His Majesty the Legend.

However, Marquis Kate did not dare to ask Li Si and Angela. This was not something he dared to interfere in.

Even when Angela was at her full strength, although her aura was a little different, her appearance was very similar to that of the vampires.

Marquis Kate could only devote all his energy to cleaning up the ruins of Kate City and instruct the servants of the castle to take good care of the two distinguished guests.

Li Si didn't feel much of it. He had been prepared for a big battle last night, but things did not develop as he expected.

But even so, he still gained a lot.

[Skill [Blood Magic·Blood Bat Wings]: Consumes a certain amount of health points continuously to generate blood-colored bat wings behind you, providing vampire-like flying ability. The flying speed is related to your agility attribute]——
The reward for completing this mission was just average for Li Si.

Probably because of Angela's intervention, Li Si's influence in normal battles was not significant, so the final mission reward was only average compared to the previous ones.

The specialty [Vampire Hunter] is a special attack specialty against vampires. Li Si has previously obtained special attack specialties on the undead and demons. It is a very good specialization when facing vampires.

The specialty [Bloodlust] is quite valuable, especially in high-level battles that can last for hours or half a day, and the full power of this specialty can be brought into play.

As for the milestone [Bloody Battle in Kate City], it is the most normal reward. The skill [Blood Magic·Blood Bat Wings] is not of much use to Li Si.

He possesses various flying spells and has the advantage of staying in the air. [Blood Magic·Blood Bat Wings] may give Li Si a little more flexibility.

This skill may be more meaningful for professions such as warriors and assassins.

In addition, the experience points gained are also quite generous.

But Li Si didn't mind, and even thought it was not bad.

You know, if it weren't for Angela's intervention, this mission would probably have failed.

Li Sike failed to break the blood claw that contained legendary power and could only choose to flee from the battlefield.

Having said that, although the final result was not bad, Li Si felt powerless from the bottom of his heart when facing the blood claws that fell from the sky or the phantom summoned by Angela. Although his strength improved very quickly, in just nearly two years, he had risen from bronze level to gold level.

Even Li Si, who has mastered the extraordinary field, is considered a strong man among the gold level.

However, when faced with legendary power, Li Si had no confidence to resist at all.

In other words, in the Gaia world, the gold level is not able to resist the legendary level.

It is possible for the silver level to defeat the gold level, and Li Si has achieved it.

But I have never heard of any gold-level person who can defeat a legend, and there are not many who can successfully resist a legend.

Having said that, Li Si still couldn't help feeling a little unwilling.

The desire to possess greater power was like a raging fire in his heart, burning even more fiercely.

Although his belief became stronger, Li Si did not aim too high and continued to move forward step by step according to his previous plan.

For example, in the matter of the Elf King's Court, during this battle, Li Si accidentally discovered that a legendary vampire might exist in the Bolin Kingdom, or even in the Elf Forest.

A legendary vampire is in the Elf Forest, what does he want to do?
You should know that vampires are basically transformed from humans through the Embrace ritual, and elves are not within the consideration of vampires.

If there were human nobles who coveted the power or long life of vampires and were willing to cooperate with them, the elves would be extremely disgusted with vampires.

They believe that vampires are beings that blaspheme life and nature, and are extremely hostile to them.

What's more, the living environment of vampires in the elven kingdom is also quite harsh, let alone legendary vampires.

There are quite a lot of legendary warriors in the Forest of Elf. Generally speaking, a legendary vampire entering the Forest of Elf is simply seeking death.

But the existence of that legendary secret treasure undoubtedly increased Li Si's suspicion.

This legendary vampire is most likely in the Forest of Elves, because the two gold-level vampires have existed in the Bolin Kingdom for a long time. The existence of the legendary secret treasure also means that the legendary vampire attaches great importance to his arrangements in the Bolin Kingdom.

But if he had stayed in the Bolin Kingdom for such a long time, it would be impossible for him not to be discovered by His Majesty Burns.

In other words, there are so many high-level vampires in the Bolin Kingdom, which has made Li Si very curious.

His Majesty Burns doesn't care?

Are you being lazy?

Li Si shook his head and gathered his thoughts.

By the way, if that legendary vampire really stayed in the Elf Forest, what was his purpose that was worth taking such a big risk?

Could it really be related to the destruction of the Elf King's Court?
Li Si cannot give up this possibility. Although the two vampires are dead, the good news is that he still has another target.

The only surviving vampire, it all depends on whether we can make a breakthrough with this vampire!

Li Si walked slowly towards the bottom of Kate Castle, stepping on the ancient dark gray bricks.

After the battle last night, he imprisoned the vampire in the castle dungeon, guarded by Marquis Kate's guards.

At this moment, Angela had turned into a little white bat, lying lazily on Li Si's shoulder.

The battle last night seemed to have consumed most of her energy, and she hasn't recovered yet.

Even when specially prepared delicacies were placed in front of her, she didn't have much motivation.

After asking Angela, Li Si found out that she just felt tired, so he felt relieved.

But still keep Angela by your side to prevent this little bat from being attacked by others when it is weak.

Entering the dungeon, Li Si waved his hand to let the guards who were paying their respects leave, then opened the door and walked in.

The vampire DeWitt was chained to the wall, pale-faced and still in a coma.

The black iron chain that locked him glowed faintly with magic patterns. It was specially arranged by Li Si to limit the power of this gold-level vampire.

Seeing that DeWitt was still in a coma, Li Si didn't care and directly grabbed his head with his right hand.

Under Li Si's control, the magic power carefully spread towards the vampire's mind. He was ready to directly and forcibly read the other party's memory.

Li Si did not hold out much hope that the subordinate of this legendary vampire would voluntarily reveal any information.

Rather than letting the other party choose to commit suicide, it would be better for him to forcibly read the memory and see if he can obtain useful information before the ban is triggered.

After obtaining the inheritance of Azera, Li Si still had some confidence.

As the magic power slowly explored DeWitt's soul under Li Si's precise control, some trivial memories were read by Li Si.

Bolin Kingdom Intelligence
Wine and Beauty
Slave trade
Just after Li Si finished reading the peripheral memory and explored deeper.

The vampire in front of him suddenly trembled all over, and his whole body exploded under the influence of an unknown force.

The shield around his body blocked the body fragments and blood, and Li Si frowned.

It seems that there is no information available.
At this moment, a gentle voice came from his ears.

"Are you looking for me?"
