Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Did he think of this back then, so he dug a pit?

Is that right?

Olivia narrowed her blood-red eyes. But that shouldn't be the case. How could he know that his blood would make vampires addicted, when he seemed to know nothing about vampires?

While pondering, Olivia unconsciously picked up the bottle that was specifically for holding blood, wanting to drink another cup.

But he managed to restrain himself.

If you become truly addicted and can't quit, here are the consequences...

But then again, I'm a vampire, I can't possibly give up blood...

But then again...

Olivia was torn between drinking and not drinking... "I'll drink, it won't make any difference, and I can gradually quit later... right?"

Olivia promptly poured herself another glass, took a small sip with her red lips...

Cool!

“The True Ancestor has entered the Land of Revelation of the Holy Light Church.”

······

Chapter 43 Is this... the master's task?

The land of revelation is overcrowded.

As the most important annual festival of the Holy See, the Feast of Revelation attracts numerous visitors over its three-day duration.

It is not only a grand gathering of the people of 23 empires and duchies across five continents in the Starry Sky Realm, but also an opportunity for exchanges between different forces.

Fireworks burst in the sky, and the streets were filled with singing, dancing, and cheering in celebration of the Feast of Revelation.

Compared to the bustling outer city, the inner city is relatively quiet.

One can make a preliminary judgment about the strength of a certain force simply by observing where the aircraft are parked.

Because the forces that master space technology do not need to park their aircraft in a specific square, but can use space technology to park them, which neither takes up space nor fails to subtly highlight their level of development in space technology.

As the Pope of the Holy Light Church, Hill III was not required to personally receive visitors from various powers.

Not to mention that the leaders of the Starry Sky Empire and the Principality are believers of the Holy Light Church, and that the leaders of other realms, except for those who are weaker, would never personally attend the Church's major events.

This is not a military parade or a victory day, but a grand gathering for believers of the Holy Light Church.

As a close attendant of Hill III, Cardinal Nicole was tasked with receiving visitors.

At this moment, King Hill III was not on the throne in the Holy Church, but standing on the top floor of the bell tower, facing the huge one-way floor-to-ceiling window, introducing the important visitor to Li Xingzhou.

"Demon species are distributed throughout the Nine Realms of Xuanhuang. The demon with goat horns is one of the Nine Star Demon Kings of the Starry Sky Realm, Modo."

'A fairyland.'

Li Xingzhou nodded.

"The one wearing the purple crown is the King of the Bravik Empire in the Northern Continent of the Starry Sky Realm. He is a sage, skilled in..."

'It's not a fairyland.'

Li Xingzhou continued to nod, now understanding the scale of the 'Immortal Realm' experts in the Starry Sky Realm.

Once one becomes a great sage, one will enter the Holy Light Church and serve as a cardinal.

It appears to be an honor, but in reality it is a means for the Holy Light Church to control the empire and the duchy.

Faith, in the final analysis, still requires strength as its foundation; otherwise, who will listen to you talk about gods or God?

For him now, there is no need to pay too much attention to those below the Immortal Realm.

Wearing a short-sleeved shirt and trousers, he stood with his hands in his pockets, listening to the introduction, and finally, the person he was looking forward to seeing arrived...

No, they're vampires.

"She is……"

Li Xingzhou's curiosity was genuine, after all, the Eternal Night Realm, where vampires lived, was practically a closed country in terms of identity information.

Vampires understand the outside world, but the outside world knows very little about vampires, which shrouds them in mystery.

This was the first time King Hill III had heard Li Xingzhou express interest in a particular being, so he introduced her as "Olivia Yongye, the clan chief of the Yongye clan, one of the thirteen vampire clans."

The Night Wanderer Clan was once the strongest vampire clan, holding two-thirds of the seats in the Eternal Night Council. However, after the Holy War, the Night Wanderer Clan rapidly declined, and even the clan name 'Eternal Night' was lost...

"Holy War?"

King Hill III glanced at Li Xingzhou and thought to himself that this young man was strong, but strangely he only had a superficial understanding of many things in the world today.

I don't know how they cultivated to be so strong...

“Back then, the gods…” Hill III paused, though he had lost faith in the Skywing race, some of his habitual speech hadn’t changed: “The Skywing race and other races descended from the heavens and started a great war to divide the world. For the vampires, this was the holy war to determine the Eternal Night Realm.”

Of course, after the external holy war ended, the vampire race also waged a fifteen-year holy war internally, which established the current council structure.

She paused, then added, "The Eternal Night Council currently has about 1,503 seats, while the Night-Wave Clan has less than 100 seats."

If Olivia Wingnight hadn't been so powerful, the Wingnight clan might already be extinct.

Li Xingzhou suddenly realized why Olivia would cooperate with her sister; her situation in the Eternal Night Council was indeed dire.

Recalling his previous conversation with Olivia, Li Xingzhou seemed to be deep in thought. Olivia's visit this time was probably also to cooperate with King Hill III and the Skywing Clan behind him, in order to alleviate the pressure from the council.

I have to help with this.

Li Xingzhou had already learned about her relationship with Olivia from her sister.

In short, Olivia is the 'return button' that her sister arranged in advance when she evacuated from Dragon Rising Island.

Although her return caused the recall button to become unusable, Olivia did keep her promise and activated the recall formation. For that alone, she was kind to her sister.

After all, no matter what kind of cooperation it is, nothing is more important than life itself.

Thinking of this, Li Xingzhou couldn't help but chuckle. When they first met, it was indeed a misunderstanding where neither of them explained their intentions.

However, this sexy older sister really wanted to secretly take Jiang Wanzhao under her wing as her "Jiang brother".

Never mind, these are all minor matters.

Jiang Wanzhao, the older sister, owes Olivia a debt of gratitude, and as her younger brother, he naturally has to reciprocate as well.

"Are you interested in her?" King Hill III suddenly asked. "She is indeed one of the most beautiful women among vampires..."

Li Xingzhou glanced at Hill III: "Let's see what she needs first, and help if we can."

“I understand.” Hill III nodded. “Then, would you like me to introduce her to you?”

"No need for now."

Should we not use it for now...?

King Hill III seemed thoughtful, then said softly, "I'll go now."

"Hmm." Li Xingzhou nodded. "By the way, what's your real name?"

The existing records do not contain Hill III's name before he became pope.

King Hill III paused for a moment, then a light smile appeared on his lips: "Aurora Seraphina Clovis."

Li Xingzhou raised an eyebrow and joked, "It takes some time to write your name during the exam."

“Enmm…” Hill III was a little unsure how to explain, feeling that Mr. Li’s thinking… seemed to be stuck in the old era?

There's a childlike, innocent sense of foolishness.

Li Xingzhou didn't think much of it and simply said, "My name is Li Xingzhou."

"Li Xingzhou..."

King Hill III repeated it in a low voice, bowed slightly, and left the church.

My value in his eyes has increased again~

……

"Chief of the Yongye Clan, His Holiness the Pope invites you to the Papal Palace for a discussion."

Olivia looked at Nicole, who was standing at the door making an inviting gesture, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Putting aside the animosity between the Holy Light Church and the vampires, the Pope never meets with anyone before the official start of the Holy Revelation Festival, so why was he invited?

Moreover, it was the most private palace for Hill III...

Despite her doubts, Olivia suppressed her thoughts and left the room. She wasn't worried that Hill III would harm her, since the Nightsong Clan had cooperated quite a bit with the Holy Light Church since its decline.

In the main hall of the Papal Palace, Olivia looked at King Hill III, who stood before her as usual, and her surprise deepened, and...

She twitched her nose; why did the scent of blood emanating from King Hill III seem even more mellow than before?

It has a kind of... mature fragrance, like flowers in full bloom.

Previously, this fragrance was not present in the blood of Hill III!

Olivia, dressed in an elegant red dress, stopped and directly asked her question, which was also a kind of test: "Aurora, why did you meet with me alone?"

"because……"

Hill III paused, a thought inexplicably popping into his mind.

Is this considered... the master's task?

No, no, no, how can that be considered?

Unlike Elise, I wasn't infected with the Immortal Control Technique.

Moreover, apart from the beginning, my relationship with Li Xingzhou is still relatively equal, so is this my lover's task?

No, no, no, why am I thinking such nonsense?

But then again, Li Xingzhou treated her differently than he treated Elise...

Not far away, Olivia watched Hill III's changing expressions and slightly flushed face, and couldn't help but become wary.

Hill III...something's not right!
