Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 574 The Last Lunch

The banquet lasted until noon, and everyone's attention was mainly focused on the core seats, especially when they heard the questions asked by the big shots, which sounded very exciting.

But as the banquet ended, everyone reluctantly left the West Lake Cottage.

Inside the castle hall, a large group of women, along with maids brought by the butler, were gathered, all sorting and categorizing the piles of gifts.

"These people gave quite a lot of gifts, so they didn't get a bad deal on this meal."

Wang Teng glanced around and found that there was everything: aged wine, nourishing tonics, and even some unknown fruits.

In addition, there are some relatively rare amber stones and jade carvings, all of which are pleasing to the eye.

"Some things can be kept, but there are too many other things, and it's no use just leaving them there." Tang Yue moved the box of aged wine aside and glanced at the pile of gifts with a touch of melancholy.

The castle's daily expenses have become a routine, and each of their personal items is custom-made.

"That's easy. We'll have the head maid and the butler take stock and put it in a reward warehouse."

"Keep those that are useful, and give the rest to the maids and security guards as year-end bonuses. Whoever performs well will get more."

Wang Teng clicked his tongue and gave her a suggestion, and the maids who were rummaging through the gifts with their heads down all perked up their ears to listen.

Just because he doesn't care about these things doesn't mean they're useless to them. Selling them for money would be a wonderful thing.

Each gift here costs hundreds of thousands, the cheapest is over a million, and the most expensive is easily tens of millions. Even the cheapest gift would be a big prize for them.

Tang Yue soon felt the group of people looking at her expectantly, as if they were begging for her permission.

"You decide..."

She sighed and said, "Now that I've already said it, why would I be the bad guy?"

"yeah!!!"

"Thank you for the red envelope, boss!!!"

"Thank you for the red envelope, boss lady!!!"

The maids beamed with joy, even high-fiving each other in celebration, and began sorting the items with even greater care and attention.

The old butler pushed up his glasses. It was indeed easier to work with the generous castle owner; at least he could give out enough rewards and wouldn't complain about overtime work.

After watching for a while, Wang Teng turned around and went upstairs, soon arriving at the top-floor lobby.

He walked to the viewing platform area, where the view was exceptionally expansive, offering a panoramic view of almost the entire West Lake.

It feels different from Seoul; the air is filled with a fresh scent, and the space exudes the vibrant energy of a Jiangnan water town.

drop by drop...

Suddenly his phone vibrated. Wang Teng casually took it out and turned on the screen, only to find that it was a message from Mochizuki Chika.

After casually opening WeChat, I saw that Mochizuki Chika had sent me a lot of pictures.

Wang Teng frowned more and more as he looked at the photo. The photo was taken in Mexico, and it showed a huge altar, as well as many vampires with fangs partying.

There are even many small altars appearing in various parts of the Americas, and many vampires have been transformed in the areas where the altars are located.

During the day, these vampires are no different from ordinary people. Unless you pay special attention, you won't notice anything unusual or take them seriously.

In addition, there is a detailed investigation report that states that the enormous altar is a passage connecting to the demon plane, through which demons descend and use their power to transform humans into vampires.

These vampires are required to regularly offer soul and blood energy as sacrifices to the demons, which is a completely unequal demonic transaction.

Currently, the participants include even temple priests from the Temple of Liberty, and it is suspected that a cardinal from the Black Vatican is involved in the planning.

Finally, there was a framed photograph on display, containing a portrait of a young man in his twenties with pointed ears.

And the patterns on the other person's clothes made Wang Teng squint his eyes – they were demonic patterns!

"Those arrogant guys in America, don't they even know a disease has broken out right under their noses?"

Wang Teng's mind raced, and he quickly noticed that the report mentioned the involvement of temple mages, guessing that it was another case of playing a game of hiding something under the lamplight.

He had been to that place before and found that there were an unusually large number of vampires; he had even been attacked once, but he didn't have time to investigate the specifics.

It seems this situation has been going on for who knows how long, which explains why vampires, even in an era when demons have disappeared, have been able to maintain a considerable number.

There's a hidden force behind this!

If it were a demon like Mo Fan, a vampire following him would probably go hungry for three days and nine meals a day. Only beautiful female vampires would have the chance to eat their fill every day.

The real demon should be the young man in the picture frame, who uses his unique power to transform vampires and enhance their strength.

Of course, demons aren't philanthropists either; the power they give away is bound to be questionable, probably using methods similar to those of the Red Demon.

Ultimately, it's hard to say whether these vampires will become puppets of demons, or whether, if left unchecked, their bloodline will degenerate and they will mutate into insane and hideous monsters.

Mochizuki Chika gave him these things, and seemed somewhat hesitant, after all, there was a temple mage behind them, which could easily lead to a direct confrontation with the Magic Association of one of the five continents.

Wang Teng immediately dialed the other party's number. This matter actually had a slight impact on his plans.

If the temple mages hadn't noticed, the vampires would have proliferated, easily forming a peculiar trend of thought.

For example, vampires are the faith, and ordinary people are heretics!

The fact that a mere vampire possesses superhuman strength and demonic magic is an influence that ordinary people cannot match.

Even novice and intermediate mages may not be able to obtain vampire incense, because in addition to their strength, vampires also have a very long lifespan.

As long as they don't do anything too reckless, they live a much more comfortable life than mages. The Americas, with their free-thinking and sweet-smelling air, are paradise for vampires.

If this trend of thought influences those high-level mages and they become fascinated with the vampire bloodline, it would be a loss for him!

When a human mage becomes a vampire, their soul turns red, meaning it has been corrupted.

Given the demon's deal, it's hard to say they wouldn't be interested in the souls of these mages.

Demons may not have the Dark Lord's power to cross realms and collect souls, but they can still do so through altars.

beep...

"Master~"

After only two rings, Wang Teng heard Mochizuki Chika's seductive voice on the other end of the phone, sending a shiver down his spine.

"Ahem~ Let's get down to business. What are you planning to do?"

Wang Teng coughed softly, straightened his expression, and asked her what she thought.

"I'm hesitating... It's fine to just charge straight in, but that would provoke a counterattack from the Temple of Freedom mages."

"The other party is the Magic Association of the Five Continents, which has too much influence. Even if I point out the vampire issue, they might not take it seriously."

"The management of local cities in the United States is very lax, or rather, it's basically a hands-off approach."

"Therefore, these vampires deliberately avoid international metropolises like New York and instead expand their numbers in surrounding cities."

"Strictly speaking, this matter does not fall within the scope of my mission."

During the phone call, Mochizuki Chika became serious and explained all her thoughts. Her last words were the real reason for her hesitation.
