Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 16: Capable of the Task
"Yes, my lord."

Uther Cremona bowed and accepted the task without hesitation. Of course, he had no room for refusal.

He did not think that this request was excessive. Instead, he felt relieved. The other party could have killed them all and enjoyed them to their heart's content, but they did not do so. This was already merciful enough.

Uther knew that the powerful vampire in front of him had actually given him enough face. After resolving the crisis of the lizardman invasion, the other party did not ask them to kneel down and surrender on the spot, but waited until night to summon him alone.

This was the safest approach. When he had to succumb to Karen's power, Uther quickly put himself in the role and began to think about how he could serve Karen without being exposed.

There is no way. According to the laws of the empire, associating with vampires is a capital crime.

When it comes to matters related to vampires, the Empire has always handled them in the harshest manner, preferring to kill ten thousand by mistake rather than let one go.

It can be said that the moment Karen rescued them, the empire did not have many choices left for them.

The best way now is for one to act in public and the other in secret. On the surface, Uther Cremona is still the owner of the camp and a glorious knight, but secretly, he works for Karen.

Uther was very glad that this powerful vampire was very rational.

If this lord reveals his vampire identity right away and rules them by force, I believe it won't be long before the empire's expeditionary force hears the news and arrives. By then, those who have surrendered to the vampires will be buried with him.

"Do you know what to do?"

Karen looked at Uther Cremona and had a hunch that this knight, who had just entered middle age, was capable of great things.

"Yes, sir. The poison gas of the Lizardmen can cause great harm to the human body. To ensure the personal safety of everyone in the camp, we will conduct blood tests on everyone."

Uther Cremona immediately came up with a feasible solution.

Since they couldn't reveal their connection with vampires, they had to find a reasonable reason for collecting blood, and the lizardmen who had just attacked the camp were a good reason.

The stench from the corpses could be smelled throughout the camp.

After dealing with the corpses, many soldiers were even a little listless, and their bodies had suffered varying degrees of corrosive damage.

What has happened is enough to convince camp residents to submit to blood tests, even if they don't feel sick.

"very good."

Karen nodded and looked at Uther with some admiration. He was right. This Uther was a good talent. He was good at both literature and martial arts.

As a translator, Lyle Cremona had mixed feelings at this moment. He could think of this method, but he might not be able to think of it immediately. Even though he had lived two lives, he had to admit that his father in this life was truly a capable man.

Now that the plan has been agreed upon, the only thing left is to implement it. Karen will not interfere in the implementation, he only wants the final result.

Uther Cremona walked out of the room and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had successfully passed the test.

"Lyle, what else are you hiding from me?"

Uther looked at his youngest son beside him. His youngest son had always performed well, but now he was a little confused. When did this boy become involved with this adult?
"Father, it was just last night. You saw it, Sister Elena was right here. Although I witnessed everything last night, I couldn't do anything, let alone say anything."

Lyle explained that he had just come into contact with Karen last night, and today he was overtaken by Lao Deng.

"What about the language?"

Uther is not easy to fool. Lyle has been acting as a translator and uses the same language as that adult.

"I learned it from the stranger."

Lyle told the truth. He was indeed learning from the "foreigner," though his progress was certainly not fast enough to be a translator. After saying this, Lyle stared at his father, observing his reaction.

"The Language of Foreigners"

Uther frowned, said nothing more, and automatically skipped the topic.

This was very strange. He could obviously continue asking questions, but he stopped abruptly, as if he had understood something and easily accepted this statement.

Although this was not the first time this had happened, this reaction still made Lyle feel creepy.

Everything else is normal, but as soon as it comes to "strangers" and the weirdness of "strangers", everyone seems to be able to understand and accept it naturally.

For example, everyone seems to have a unified understanding of why "strangers" appear and where they come from.

This phenomenon made Lyle almost believe that this was a game world, and everyone was a pre-programmed program. Even he himself was just a pre-programmed NPC.

Everything was normal before, but ever since he activated the system and summoned the "stranger", everything seemed different.

"Take these books away."

Uther's words interrupted Lyle's wandering thoughts. He handed Lyle a stack of books, which were all Karen needed.

Because the writing system has not changed much, Karen decided to find some books to read. This would allow him to understand more about the current era. Moreover, it would be more convenient to learn the language by comparing the writing system.

Lyle took the book and shook off all the random thoughts in his mind. It was useless to think about those things. If the sky fell, there would be someone taller to hold it up. His current task was to serve the master of the family well.

"Squeak."

The door was opened. It was Elena, dressed in black, who opened the door, and Lyle came in holding a book.

"Just put it here."

Karen glanced at Lyle and asked him to put the book on the table.

Standing in front of the table, Karen flipped through the books and said:
"Lyle, if you want to replace Uther, then kill him. For the sake of stability, it's best to kill all the other members of the Cremona family."

Karen's words made Lyle shudder. At this moment, he seemed to understand the meaning of the saying "To serve the king is like to serve a tiger."

"No kidding, you and I are from the same hometown after all, so it will be easier to use, and you can better play the role of a player."

Karen looked at Lyle with a smile on her face, and made a gesture to let Lyle make the choice.

He did it on purpose, just to see Lyle's ambition and whether Lyle was ruthless enough.

"This... I really can't do it."

After a moment of silence, Lyle replied firmly that he had never thought of doing so and it was impossible for him to do it.

"Then do your job well."

Karen nodded and didn't mention the matter anymore. He looked at the book in his hand. The title of the book was particularly eye-catching.

"The Divine Emperor Sgmar."

Is Skomadeng a god?!
