Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 186: Tribute to the Great Blood King
"No need to force it."

Uther waved his hand, signaling Elentia, who was in charge of the matter, not to worry about it. The situation of the high elves was indeed rather special. High elves in this state were indeed not easy to attract. It was normal that "Port Wangbo" was unable to retain some high elves.

“We really tried our best.”

Standing in front of the desk was a young woman wearing the standard government uniform of Wangbo Port, all black, very neat and tidy. She was Elentia, a "vampire reserve" who was gradually growing up, and looked to be in her early twenties.

These "vampire reserves" will of course be vigorously trained. After all, vampires are the basic condition for being in power under Karen. Even if they are of other races for the time being, they will gradually be absorbed into becoming part of the "vampire clan" in the future.

How to say it, the blood clan is like a ruling party. If you want to become an official, you naturally have to join this ruling party and must have the identity of a member of this party. "Blood clan" is the common identity of the members of this ruling party.

This is actually quite easy to understand, and at this time, Elentia was actually a "preparatory party member."

This time things were not done well, and Elentia was still quite nervous. The girl used to be quite cultured.

Before coming to the "New World", Elentia was a maid in a noble family. Although she did not have many opportunities to study, she was at least better off than ordinary people, who had no chance to study at all.

Although this is hell, the slaves of the nobles are indeed more educated than ordinary people. The common people are just common people, a cheap production tool. Slaves are at least more useful.

After all, Elentia has seen some of the world and has been exposed to the society of nobles. She is not a commoner who spends all day digging for food in the fields.

Wangbo Port is indeed very short of management talents. People like Elentia are considered to be relatively capable. This is why Wangbo Port attaches so much importance to the training of the next generation, because there is really a lack of capable people here.

Not only the next generation, but also teenagers aged 16, 17 or 18 will be trained expeditedly. They have a fast comprehension and learning speed, and with emergency training, they can help to some extent, at least they can do some communication work.

Before being granted some real rights, Elentia was naturally specially trained, and Lyle was her teacher.

"Go ahead. Don't worry about this project anymore. We've all accepted the outcome. Lyle will arrange other work for you."

Uther waved his hand, indicating that Elentia could leave. They had long since stopped caring about attracting the high elves to stay in Port Wangbo. The reason they let Elentia continue to do it was simply because they wanted to try their luck.

As a result, because this final attitude was not conveyed to Elentia, the girl still felt a lot of pressure. After all, this work had been going on for so long, but there was no result at all, which made her seem incompetent.

"Yes, Lord Governor."

Seeing that Uther really had no intention of asking for accountability, Elentia finally felt relieved. There was nothing she could do; she was under a lot of pressure.

"I mean, it's definitely okay, right?"

When she went out, Elentia met a young man with a smile on his face. It was Lyle Cremona.

"Even though you say that, I'm definitely still unsure."

Elentia shook her head helplessly and smiled. Before coming to see Governor Uther, Lyle had indeed told her that nothing was wrong.

But the matter is of great importance. She will not have any hope of success until the trial is actually decided, so she has been very nervous.

"You are just too cautious."

Lyle shook his head and commented on Elentia's character, saying that calling her cautious was an exaggeration, as in reality, she was just "worried about gains and losses."

But Lyle could understand the emergence of this kind of personality. After all, Elentia was a servant in a noble family before, and was directly exiled to the New World because of a mistake she made. It was normal for her to develop this kind of personality.

Now Elentia is just a "vampire reserve", which does not mean that she has been transformed into a vampire. Her personality may change greatly. Although Elentia's identity has changed, her personality has not changed at all.

"There's nothing I can do. I really cherish the opportunity I have now and my life now."

Elentia's face was filled with emotion. Why were the people of "Wangbo Port" so motivated? Why were they so obedient? Wasn't it because they cherished their current life? For them, their current life was like paradise.

"Don't worry, with Lord Karen here, Wangbo Port will become more and more powerful in the future."

Lyle comforted Elentia. Maybe it was because of power, but Elentia looked much prettier now than when she was first selected as the "vampire reserve". She was in her early twenties and looked very graceful.

After several contacts, Lyle actually likes this little girl very much. Of course, he doesn't have any hormonal impulses for the time being, but he just thinks Elentia's personality is quite good.

Perhaps Elentia was not very experienced in being in charge and doing things, but she was completely different when it came to her daily interactions with people. Perhaps it was because she had experience as a maid before, at least Lyle had always felt comfortable when getting along with Elentia.

"Hail to the great Blood King."

When Lyle mentioned Karen, Elentia immediately spoke with a pious look on her face, while she straightened her body and raised her right hand.

This scene made Lyle feel a little overwhelmed. This familiar gesture was a bit too hellish. As the number of players increased, some inexplicable things began to become popular in "Wangbo Port".

There is no way. There are already more than 400 players in Wangbo Port, while the total human population is only more than 3,000. This proportion is already terrifying.

Moreover, the players are extremely active, running around everywhere, and are keen on asking people questions in their half-baked "Imperial Common Language". The community atmosphere they create has a great influence on the overall atmosphere of "Wangbo Port".

For example, the phrase "Hail to the Great Blood King" and this gesture were created by players.

Karen's status and legend, coupled with the current reverence for Karen among the "Wangbo Port people", gave some players the inspiration to start playing with memes.

They organized a group of people and began to frequently use "Hail to the Great Blood King" and make that gesture to guide the NPCs of "Wangbo Port".

Never underestimate the players' ability to stir up trouble. It didn't take long before "Salute to the Great Blood King" became the "common language of the Empire" that all players were proficient in.

Whenever Karen was mentioned, or when a statue of him appeared, or even when they saw him in person, they would immediately raise their hands and shout, "Hail, the Great Blood King!" It had become a catchphrase. Naturally, the people of Wangbo Port were also influenced by them, because the player-created action perfectly filled a gap: a prayer or tribute to Karen, an action that was completely missing.

A large number of "Wangbo Port" people have long accepted official propaganda, regard Karen as their only faith, and regard him as their savior and patron saint, but how to express respect to Karen and how to pray to Karen have always been a mystery.

The action performed by these players coincidentally filled this gap and instantly spread throughout the "Wangbo Port". So much so that now, this action has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and even "vampire reserve" like Elentia has used it.

Karen himself had no objection to this. When someone expressed respect to him directly, he gladly chose to accept it. Lyle had nothing to say now. He could only say that Lord Karen was also a fun person ten thousand years ago.

Lyle had asked about this specifically, and Lord Cullen obviously knew the origin of the joke, but Lord Cullen made it clear that it didn't matter, and instead thought it was a good thing.

In Karen's opinion, the occurrence of this "Salute to the Great Blood King" event is actually very beneficial to the connection between players and Wangbo Port, because for players, this is a milestone event.

Through their collective actions, this group of people successfully influenced the entire "Wangbo Port" population and created an action that is popular throughout the "Wangbo Port". It will even become popular in more places in the future and be used by more people. This is the mark they left behind and their interaction with the world.

Although this doesn't seem to be a particularly big deal, anyone who plays games frequently will understand that this kind of thing that affects the development of the entire world through one's own behavior is definitely the most exciting thing for players.

In fact, this is true. After this incident happened, players' sense of integration and belonging to "Wangbo Port" became stronger.

Of course, there is no need to correct this kind of thing forcibly. If it is corrected forcibly, it will easily make things worse. This behavior will greatly dampen the enthusiasm of players.

Therefore, when Lyle saw Elentia using this gesture, although he felt a little uncomfortable, he could only accept it calmly.

"Thank you, Lyle."

Elentia spoke up. She had complicated feelings towards Lyle.

First, admiration, because Lyle is really very young. Lyle is not even seventeen years old yet, so he is not really that old. Of course, this age is already an adult in the empire.

What really surprised Elentia was that Lyle had such ability at his age. Just looking at his ability, one would never guess his age.

Lyle's work ability and the way he deals with people make Elentia admire him very much, and also make Elentia feel very warm. Sometimes she even forgets Lyle's age.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Lyle responded with a warm smile, very ashamed. When facing these "vampire reserves", his attitude was always very kind. After all, these people were colleagues who would be together for who knows how long in the future. It would be best not to make enemies if possible. It is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

"So what will my future job be?"

Elentia put some of her thoughts aside. She still had some inferiority complex in her heart, which had not been corrected yet.

Facing Lyle, the son of the governor, Elentia really found it difficult to muster the courage to have too many thoughts. She felt that she was not worthy of him and could only keep all her thoughts in her heart.

"Just follow me for now and take care of some paperwork."

Unlike Elentia, Lyle was obviously very open-minded. He thought this girl was pretty good, so he took her in as his secretary.

This surprised Elentia a little. She obviously didn't expect that Lyle would keep her by his side.

“Am I really capable of this?”

Elentia retreated a little, she obviously had no confidence in herself.

Because the work in Lyle's hands is related to all aspects of the overall situation of Wangbo Port. Unlike the job she was responsible for before, even if she did not do it well, she would not receive any severe punishment, or even no punishment at all.

Now that she has been transferred to work with Lyle, it is hard to say whether it is a punishment or a reward. Elentia feels a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, just get used to it slowly. I will teach you slowly."

Lyle encouraged Elentia with a smile.

"Okay, I will definitely work hard!"

Since Lyle had already said so, Elentia had no way to refuse. She agreed directly without thinking too much. She just hoped to learn something from Lyle. On a deeper level, she felt that there was no need for her to think too much.

"Let's go."

Lyle nodded and motioned for Elentia to follow him back to his office to handle work. Of course, he had a dedicated office.

Elentia didn't think much about it, but Lyle actually considered Elentia as a potential marriage target, but her ranking was very low, because Elentia's attraction was indeed only herself, and he had no other desire except for her as a person and her potential.

But Lyle's other target, Alyssa, is different. In addition to Alyssa herself, she also has a brother, Geras. Both of them are vampires, and their future prospects are limitless.

Marrying Alyssa and getting the help of Geras is obviously more attractive than being alone with Elentia.

Although Alyssa is not yet fourteen years old, Lyle himself is less than seventeen years old. He is only three years older than Alyssa, so he can wait.

Besides, once he becomes a vampire, the three-year age difference can be almost completely ignored.

Of course, these are all things that happened later. It is indeed too early to talk about marriage with others now. Geras and Alyssa are not very old, and Geras, as the older brother, is not yet an adult.
