Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

……

"The Blood Prince, Emmett..."

As he left the library at the parish headquarters, Lore kept repeating the name in his mind.

Thanks to the authority specially granted by Bishop Helm, Lor now has a general understanding of the prominent figures among the vampires in the world.

Among them, the one he was particularly concerned about was Emmett, one of the "first generation vampires".

"This person is hard to understand."

Thinking of this, Lor couldn't help but shook his head.

According to information from within the church, this "Vampire Prince Emmet" seems to be a person who acts rather as he pleases... In the past, when the Vampire Kingdom was at its peak, this prince seemed to be quite Buddhist and showed no desire to compete for power and profit with other "brothers and sisters".

However, when "True Ancestor Lilith" fell into a deep sleep, it was he who took up the responsibility of supporting the kingdom, allowing the kingdom on the verge of collapse to continue for about another thirty years... After that, Emmett's whereabouts became a mystery.

He seems to be very good at disguising and hiding. Even the Church of Holy Light has no idea where he is or what he is doing.

The only clue related to him is that he once briefly appeared at the death scene of some of his "brothers and sisters", apparently to pay tribute.

"Although the other 'first generation vampires' have different styles of doing things, they generally have similar aspirations... Some are determined to recover their homeland, others live in seclusion in a remote corner, and of course, there are those who are constantly searching for the resting place of 'True Ancestor Lilith'... But this Emmett, I have no idea what he wants."

This made Lor very uneasy.

If a person does not show obvious purpose, it is difficult for others to guess his actions.

"Speaking of 'paying respects'... Lucinda died near Gordon City. If that guy knew, he wouldn't have come all the way here... Well, we have to be careful and don't let Isabella come into contact with him easily."

It's not just Emmett.

With Isabella's current strength, she should avoid dealing with all "first-generation vampires" as much as possible... Focusing only on hunting mid-level vampires is the safest and most efficient approach.

Fortunately, the intelligence network of the Holy Light Church is indeed powerful, and it also records the recent movements of some mid-level vampires.

For example, there is a high possibility that a sixth-level vampire is lurking in a place only three days away from Gordon City... The church is currently conducting further investigations. If it can be confirmed, the Holy City will send high-level experts to clear it out.

If conditions permit, Isabella and I can definitely get there before the church and collect this head.

Ok.

Let’s discuss this with the young lady after we get back.

Lor thought.

This time he stayed in the library of the parish headquarters for a full day and night.

In addition to the information about the vampires, he also looked up information about the "Dragon Cult" and the sage who was about to come to Palmer City for investigation... Thanks to the information provided by the twin-tailed girl numbered "28" at the Dark Moon Society tea party, Lor already knew the name of this sage in advance.

Elliot Yates, the youngest of the current Sages.

As for how to forge evidence to make the sage believe that the deaths of the Duke of Campbury and others were caused by the "Dragon Cult", Lor also had some rough ideas.

"Hmm...calculating the time, it's time to set off for my appointment with the Dragon Worship Cult."

64. Real problems

Before leaving, I have to say goodbye to Bishop Helm.

"I heard you've been investigating the library for a long time, day and night." The elderly bishop stroked his graying beard and said with a smile, "How is it going? Have you gained anything?"

"I did learn a lot about the vampires."

Lor answered truthfully:

"However, the current intelligence alone doesn't reveal much about the resting place of True Ancestor Lilith... I think to get more information, I'll probably need to interact more with the vampires, especially those 'first generation vampires' who once had close ties with True Ancestor Lilith."

Hearing this, Bishop Helm's eyes became somewhat solemn:

"The first generation of vampires are almost all high-level demigods. It is very dangerous to come into contact with them rashly...

"I must remind you once again, Lor. The messages of the Holy Light are often complex and difficult to understand, and their true meaning will only be revealed a long time later... The mission of 'finding True Ancestor Lilith' is by no means easy, and there is no need to rush."

"I understand your concern and worry, Your Excellency," Lor assured. "Please rest assured, I won't act rashly unless I can guarantee my own safety... But the prerequisite is that I need to obtain as much information and information about the vampires as possible."

"Well, you are a clever young man." Bishop Helm nodded. "From now on, if I receive any intelligence related to the vampires, I will immediately transmit it to the church branch in Gordon City. I hope I can help you."

"Thank you, Bishop." Lor said gratefully.

He thought to himself that the "oracle" of the Holy Light was really a great help... Otherwise, I would have to spend more time and effort to obtain information about the vampires from the church.

"Also, Lor... to what extent have you mastered the third-level extraordinary power you just obtained?" Bishop Helm changed the subject and began to ask about another matter that concerned him.

"It feels like it will take quite some time to fully digest it." Luo Er shook his head slightly. "Currently, I've only mastered one third-tier divine spell, 'White Night Glow'."

This is a group BUFF skill that can comprehensively enhance the physical movement ability of oneself and teammates, and comes with a large-scale lighting effect... Captain Rhonina had used it before when clearing out the nest of monsters living underground in Gordon City.

"That's pretty good." Bishop Helm nodded.

I remember that when Lor was promoted to the second level, he learned three new divine arts in one breath... This time, it was not that outrageous.

This was normal, after all, the difficulty of acquiring new supernatural powers increased with each level. Based on past experience, exorcists often needed two to three years of training to fully master all third-level divine arts.

Even though Lor is gifted, and with the assistance of "Super Strength Stabilizer" and "Flowing Light", it will still take a lot of time.

However, Bishop Helm was not sure how long it would take.

It can't be that it will only take one month...

"Thank you, Bishop, for your care and assistance these past few days," Lor said, preparing to bid farewell to Bishop Helm. "Now that my injuries have healed and I've successfully advanced to the third rank, it's time for me to return to Gordon."

"Well, have a good trip." Bishop Helm nodded slightly, and then suddenly thought of something, "Oh, there's one more thing I must remind you of."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"If I remember correctly, you own a property in Gordon City and have a fiancée you're in love with, right? When you get back this time, hurry up and plan your wedding."

"……what?"

Lor was completely stunned.

I never expected to hear these words from the bishop.

No, it’s okay that those gossipy colleagues in our Gordon City Exorcist Team always urge me to get married...how come even the diocesan bishop is starting to care about this matter now?

Is the relationship between Isabella and I so touching?

"This is a very realistic problem, Lor."

Bishop Helm said earnestly:

"Now that you've been promoted to the third rank, you're not far from becoming a mid-rank transcendent and officially joining the Inquisitors... I estimate that in a while, Lord Guardian Laerien will summon you to the Holy City for special training that will last at least a year and at most three to five years.

"When the time comes, you'll have to temporarily separate from your fiancée... But as long as you marry her before you go to Shengcheng, she can go with you as an official family member."

It turned out to be the case.

It is indeed a very realistic problem.

Emotionally speaking, Lor certainly didn't want to be separated from Isabella for such a long time; moreover, the eldest lady was a vampire after all, and it was impossible for her to not suck blood for a year or two.

However, if he really wanted to take her to the Holy City, it would be too dangerous.

After all, there are several big guys like "Guardian of the Faith" in the Holy City... Once their identities are exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable!

unless……

I can make the church's top leaders recognize Isabella and believe that even though she is a vampire, she is not a villain... Then, as the church's "assistant", you can enter the Holy City with me openly!

Lor narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully considered the feasibility of this plan.

The success rate is not zero.

At least, the "Holy Light" has recognized Isabella and has not shown any hostility towards her... The problem now is how can I convince other people in the church, especially those "sages" who are at the core of power.

I guess it will take some opportunity.

……

Before leaving, go meet Vann again.

The guy wanted to stay in Palmer City for a while, so he didn't plan to go back with Lor.

"Boss, thanks to you this time, we can successfully expand our business to Palmer City!"

Fan En was excited, and he was probably imagining his future business empire again:

"Mr. Wolf and Mr. Merlin have helped us develop quite a few clients over the past two days. Next, we're just waiting to meet the sage from the Holy City! Um, Mr. Lor... do you think I should prepare a gift for the meeting?"

"Let's forget about it," Lor said with a smile. "Although I can't tell you the sage's name, I can tell you clearly that he doesn't buy it."

"Oh? From what you said, you already know which sage will be coming?" Vann secretly gave Lor a thumbs-up. "As expected of you, you are well-informed! I heard from Lord Wolf and Lord Merlin that even your diocesan bishop, Lord Helm, is still unsure!"

Well, after all, I am a traitor and have special intelligence channels.

Lor shook his head seriously:

"Don't guess. I didn't say anything and I don't know anything."

"I understand, boss! I didn't hear anything either!" Vann understood again.

"But before I leave, I can give you some more advice." Lor's lips curled up slightly as he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Here are some of the spells written on them. Prepare as many as possible... They'll come in handy when the sages from the Holy City arrive."

65. Then let them confirm

South of Palmer City, about seventy kilometers away from the urban area.

A rocky hill.

Le Guin Pound, one of the leaders of the "Dragon Cult" and a fifth-level "Hunting" root transcendent, stood alone in the shadow of the rock, waiting silently.

"This is where we're supposed to meet Mr. 32."

He was on edge, paying close attention to every movement around him.

Le Guin Pound hurried along the way, spending several sixth-level "flying" spells worth hundreds of gold coins, and finally arrived at the meeting place before the agreed date.

...In order to arrive on time for the appointment, he spent a lot of money.

But for Le Guin Pound, financial expenses were secondary.

What made him even more worried was that, because he had been flying at high altitude for three consecutive days and nights, his entire face had been blown away by the wind and was numb even now.

I wonder if I'll suffer from the sequelae of facial paralysis...

Le Guin Pound couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Of course, if "Mr. No. 32" can really fulfill his promise and give him the opportunity to "meet the dragon" after the matter is accomplished, then all this will be worth it.

"If I could truly witness a giant dragon with my own eyes, and confirm that the descendant of the ancient Dragon God had descended upon the world... I, Le Guin Pond, would without hesitation abandon the power of 'hunting' that I currently possess and instead pursue the path of 'the giant dragon'!"

No one can practice two supernatural roots at the same time, so if he wants to join the dragon's embrace, Le Guin Pond must first abandon his existing supernatural powers, become an ordinary person again, and start from scratch.

It has to be said that this is somewhat of a pity for him, who is already a fifth-level "Hunting" root extraordinary person.

However, pursuing the power of the "dragon" has been the long-cherished wish of the members of the Dragon Worship Cult for thousands of years.

Moreover, Le Guin Pond possesses a lot of knowledge and information related to the cultivation of dragon power, so even if he starts from scratch, his growth rate will be much faster than that of ordinary extraordinary people, and he will eventually gain power far beyond his current level!

"Dragons have been extinct for millennia, and humanity has lost the possibility of pursuing this extraordinary source... But I will break this status quo and become the first mortal in a thousand years to awaken the 'power of the dragon', and my name will be recorded in history!"

Thinking of this, Le Guin Pound clenched his fists, and a fanatical light flashed in his eyes.

In addition to being a "superhuman", he is also a historian.

Therefore, this temptation was really irresistible to him.

Having said that, Le Guin Pound was by no means a reckless person and was well aware that this journey was bound to be dangerous.

At present, he still didn't know what kind of power the "Mr. 32" at the tea party had, nor did he know who the host he was talking about was...

But what is certain is that the strength of these people should not be underestimated!

Otherwise, they would not have been able to easily eliminate Lady Windsor of the "Death Whisper Society", the Duke of Campbury of the "Fighter Alliance", and his followers, let alone open the long-sealed dragon ruins and let the descendants of the Dragon God come into the world!

You have to be extremely cautious when dealing with these people.

At this moment, Le Guin Pound suddenly realized that a guy wearing a shabby black windbreaker and a bowler hat, dressed like a down-and-out magician, was approaching him silently.

This outfit is exactly the same as "Mr. No. 32" at the tea party!

The only difference is that he is not wearing a mask now.

So this is the man's true appearance...
