I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

Thinking of this, Eve released her magic power towards the butterfly in front of her.

"Ahem, do you understand what I mean? If you do, then stop by my right hand."

After sensing this magical fluctuation, the butterfly that had been flying just now hovered obediently above Eve's right hand.

Well, it looks like it can communicate. Next, let's ask it what it wants to do.

"So do you need my help?"

Hearing Eve's question, the butterfly hovering above her right hand flew in front of her again, drawing a pattern repeatedly, and stopping from time to time to look at Eve.

"...?"

Seeing Eve's confused look, the butterfly also seemed a little anxious. It continued to fly around randomly for a few times and suddenly turned to the butterfly ball next to it.

Then the butterfly ball suddenly dispersed, forming the pattern, and then some butterflies separated to form two arrows, one pointing from the pattern to Eve, and the other pointing from Eve to the obviously larger butterfly.

After observing it for a while, Eve had already determined the true identity of this pattern - it looked like a magic circle used to establish a contract with Warcraft. Although the style was very old and quite different from the ones used now, the function could not be wrong judging from the core part of the magic circle.

Speaking of this, we have to mention a very interesting but also embarrassing profession on this continent - the Beast Master.

As the name suggests, Warcraft is an animal affected by magic, and some of them have their bodies strengthened by magic, while others have the power to use magic to attack. They are collectively called Warcraft.

A Beastmaster is a profession that uses contracts to establish connections with Warcraft. Unlike swordsmen and magicians, who rely on innate qualifications, anyone can make a contract with a Warcraft and become a Beastmaster as long as they meet the requirements.

The conditions are also simple and crude in a sense, and can be simply summarized as one thing - being rich.

Well, very true.

As long as you have money to buy the contracted beasts and hire someone to set up the contract array, you can become a beast master.

Generally speaking, the monsters used in contracts are of a specific breed that have been raised since childhood and are almost non-aggressive towards humans. After all, even if there are contract restrictions, if the monster really doesn't care about its life and fights you in an extreme one-to-one exchange, you will definitely lose a lot of money.

This is why this profession is interesting. These selected and bred monsters are often very cute, the kind that can kill a dozen Aweis with just a little cuteness.

But the embarrassing thing about Beast Masters is their combat power. The bred Beast species mentioned above often do not have very strong power. The strongest one is only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. It is estimated that they cannot beat trained soldiers. Therefore, Beast Masters are now basically a profession for rich kids to show off their status.

Want to show off your wealth? Then bring out a priceless monster.

As for making a contract with a powerful wild monster? Not only does it require not only defeating it but also capturing it alive, but even if you manage to capture it alive and force it into a contract, you might still be in for a desperate one-for-one trade with the enemy.

As for those who have the ability to defeat Warcraft and force the signing of the contract, they don't need such a weak fighter who may retaliate at any time.

In addition, raising high-level monsters also requires a lot of resources. Why not use these resources to cultivate a good seedling or just use them for yourself?

In short, a combination of various reasons has led to the fact that the Warcraft Master is the most embarrassing profession on the mainland. It is basically a place for rich kids to show off their wealth.

And now this group of butterflies wants to take the initiative to sign a contract with Eve.

After briefly checking the magic circle formed by the group of butterflies and making sure there was no problem, Eve raised her hand and formed the magic circle pattern between herself and the larger butterfly. After the slightly larger butterfly also gently touched the magic circle, Eve felt a new connection appear in her heart, connecting them together.

There was no need to use magic fluctuations to convey her meaning. Eve was now able to communicate directly with the butterflies, and their abilities were displayed to her without reservation.

And it turned out that Eve's inference was correct. This group of butterflies cannot be touched - their characteristic is "burning the world", which burns everything they touch until the target's magic power disappears or enough magic power is absorbed (they cannot be controlled when there is insufficient magic power).

However, after absorbing a large amount of Eve's magic power, the butterflies have stopped this characteristic. However, Eve noticed that her magic power is still flowing to the butterflies through the contract. It seems that their demand for magic power is extremely high.

However, the supply of magic power is not a problem for Eve at all. She can adjust the seal and add some overflow magic power to solve the problem later when she has time.

"Lord."

Suddenly a soft female voice appeared in Eve's mind.

"!"

The sudden sound startled Eve, and then she realized that it was the sound of the butterfly in front of her.

Since she had never heard of a precedent where a contracted monster could communicate directly with language, the word "Master" made Eve a little stunned.

"Lord?"

Eve didn't respond, and the voice asked again with some doubt.

"Hmm? Ah! What's going on?"

Although she was a little confused about Eve's attitude, she continued.

"Master, do you have any relationship with the dragon clan? I just felt the power of the dragon clan on you."

Her light words were like a bombshell in Eve's heart.

There is almost no record of the dragon race on the mainland, but the butterfly in front of him easily mentioned it. Combined with the sense of intimacy in the dragon blood, well, the person opposite is most likely an antique from the mythological era, and a relative of the dragon race.

It is very likely that these are the sealed beings related to the dragon clan that his mother mentioned.

"Yes, I have dragon blood in me, so who are you?"

"...born from dragon flame, the World Burial Butterfly. My Lord, may I see the state of your activated dragon power?"

When Butterfly spoke the second half, her tone was filled with anticipation.

"Well... that's nothing."

Hearing that the other side was also related to the dragon clan, Eve also transformed herself into a dragon clan's body, and features such as dragon horns, dragon wings, and dragon tail also appeared on her body.

"!!!!!!"

After seeing Eve like this, an extremely excited feeling came from the connection, and then the butterfly in front of him landed directly on Eve's nose, looking at her at a very close distance, and the butterfly ball next to him became restless again.

This time there was no butterfly to block their companions. They flew directly towards Eve together, landing on her in turn. For a moment, Eve was directly wrapped in the group of butterflies.

"Wu…Wait! Wu…"

Although there were occasional noises, the butterflies showed no sign of stopping. I could only hope that everyone was alright.

§ 55 Burial Butterfly

Finally, after being surrounded by butterflies for a while, it seemed that they had taken turns to touch Eve. The butterflies left her, who was now covered in scales, and formed a butterfly ball around her again.

At this moment, Eve looked much more miserable than when the battle had just ended. There were many traces of black scales on her fair face, occasionally mixed with a hint of purple.

As a result, what the cultists couldn't do even if they tried to self-destruct was easily accomplished by the butterflies they sent out. This is really cause for celebration.

"Sorry, my Lord, we got a little excited."

"Ah, it's okay, it's just a new and interesting experience."

While wiping the scales and powder off her face, Eve comforted the group of butterflies that felt a little guilty.

I have to say, if the density of butterflies was a little lower and the location was changed to a flowerbed, it would definitely be a dreamlike scene.

Then, as if remembering something, Eve changed the subject.

"By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Eve, Eve Lesembora. What's yours?"

"...My race is called the Burial World Butterfly. We don't have clear distinctions among individuals. Or rather, although we are different, I am and I are all Burial World Butterflies, and each Burial World Butterfly is a side of me."

"Hmm...So you're actually the same person, just with different personalities?"

Listening to Butterfly's explanation, Eve frowned slightly and asked uncertainly.

"Not only are our personalities, but our memories are not entirely the same either."

"Eh? But didn't you say you don't have clear distinctions between individuals?"

On the one hand, she said that she had no individuality, but on the other hand, she said that she had a different personality and independent memory. The Burial Butterfly in front of her successfully confused Eve.

"It's a little hard to describe. Master Eve, you can understand it as follows: we may adopt different attitudes towards a matter due to our different personalities and memories, but in the end, it will all lead to the same result."

“All roads lead to Rome?”

"I don't know what you mean by Rome, but that's exactly what you mean."

"All right…"

Although it was still a little hard to understand, Eve accepted her explanation.

"Then can I call you Dier?"

"As you like, Master Eve."

Although she said this, there was still a hint of joy in Dier's words.

"Then, Dier, why do you call me Master? Is it because of the contract between you and me?"

"That's partly the reason, but the main reason is that you have a more orthodox dragon bloodline."

"But you were born much earlier, weren't you? The dragon bloodline is almost extinct now, and I'm very likely the last one."

After hearing her explanation, Eve was also a little surprised. She never expected that the purity of her dragon bloodline would be so high that it could make an old antique like the Burial World Butterfly recognize her as its master.

"I was born by coincidence after the combination of dragon flame and the source of life. I only inherited some of the characteristics of the dragon flame of the dragon clan. Naturally, my bloodline is not as pure as yours. Moreover, the dragon clan had already left long ago when I was born."

"Is that so? Then Die'er, do you know why creatures with dragon blood were extinct?"

Although Die said that the dragons had left when she was born, Eve still decided to ask her if she knew some information.

"My apologies, Master. Because I turn everything I touch into ashes, my clan has always been flying through the wilderness in the form of butterfly balls, avoiding contact with everything as much as possible. Therefore, I don't know much about these things."

"Well, Die doesn't know either."

"I'm so sorry, my lord."

"Ah, it's okay, I was just curious. By the way, you only need to absorb enough magic power to stop burning anything you touch, so why not do that? Just find a deserted place, right?"

Eve asked a question that she was quite curious about.

From the characteristics of the Burial Butterfly, it can be seen that if she absorbs enough magic power, she can control her own abilities, but she just said that she has been avoiding doing so.

It was not difficult to see from Die's unconscious state when she was just released that her instinct was to absorb magic power, but she had been suppressing this desire, which made Eve feel a little strange.

Judging from the efficiency of the butterfly in absorbing magic power, it should be able to last for a long time if it finds a deserted place and absorbs the magic power of the earth to its heart's content.

"Ah, this is because of the desire that is engraved in my blood."

"desire?"

"Well, I hope this can become a gentle and beautiful world. My blood tells me so, so I can't deliberately burn things and trample on this wish, so I can only fly non-stop."

"Is that so... But haven't you tried to form a contract with others to absorb magic power? Although the amount of magic power you need is quite terrifying, it should be enough for those top-level experts."

Eve calculated based on the amount of magic power absorbed by herself that if it were her mother Elizabeth, as long as the absorption speed was rhythmically controlled, it should be able to meet Die's needs.

"No, only the magic power of beings with dragon blood can truly satisfy us. We have been flying all this time in search of beings with dragon blood, but in the end, we were sealed away because we couldn't find them."

"Speaking of seals, the one who sealed you is the owner of that black power just now? And you should be able to directly absorb the magic power that constitutes the seal, so why are you still sealed?"

"Well... because the power that seals us isn't magic, and it's extremely filthy. It can only be burned as waste. And since I accidentally burned a forest when I was born, I've hardly absorbed any magic power, so there's no way I can break the seal."

Eve had almost never absorbed any magic power, and she couldn't help but be amazed when she heard Dier's description. She had been suppressing her desire to absorb magic power since she was born. The perseverance required to suppress her instinct was simply unimaginable.

"So now, with my magic power as a supply, you can touch things at will, right?"

"Yeah! I can already control my own characteristics!"

At this moment, Dier's voice could not hide her excitement.

"By the way, Master Eve, I want to ask you a question. Although I don't know how long I have been sealed, do you think the world has become gentler after the gods left?"

Is this world gentle?

Dier's sudden question made Eve fall into deep thought. When she was a brave warrior, her world was trapped in a corner of the country of wealth, and she was eventually exploited to death.

After being embraced as a vampire princess for the first time, she knew that the world was extremely vast and that besides the corner where humans were trapped, there were also various places where elves, beastmen, and demons lived. However, because she had always lived in the imperial city, she really didn't know what other places in the world looked like.

Thinking of this, Eve had an idea. It was a rare opportunity to come to another world, and she had the identity of a vampire princess to back her up. Why not take Istina with her on a trip around the world in the future, witness all kinds of scenery around the world with the person she loved, meet and say goodbye to all kinds of people, and witness all kinds of things. Isn't it romantic?

Although Istina originally hoped that the two of them would escape from the family together and live in seclusion in a place where no one could find them, now that they no longer have to worry about the family, it would be a good idea to change the plan to a trip.

"Lord?"

Looking at Eve who suddenly fell into deep thought, Dier asked carefully.

"Hmm? Ah! Sorry, sorry, I thought of something else."

Eve's expression became serious as she spoke.

"I'm sorry, Dier, I can't answer your question because I haven't been able to personally witness whether this world is gentle or not, but are you willing to witness it with me in the future?"

"Well, of course!"

And so, a long journey began.
