I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

As the purple beam of light slowly dissipated, the figures of Eve and Arcana also quietly disappeared from the platform, but then a dazzling light burst out from the square under people's feet, and this year's awakening ceremony officially kicked off here.

As the oath of contract was recited by the people in the square, weapon elves appeared in their hands in response to their cries, and together with their masters, they faced a world that was about to fall into turmoil again.

§ 6 Rainbow Figure [Fourth Update]

"call…"

Behind the podium, Eve, who had just finished her speech, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the children taking the oath in the square in the distance. It seemed that her speech was quite successful. It not only heated up the atmosphere but also announced the problem of the devil's believers to the people.

And there were no troubles caused by the devil's followers during the ceremony. It can be said that everything went smoothly. Next, she only needed to hold the ceremony for Istina and Lucia.

But my popularity is really high. This time, the number of people who came to the square to watch the awakening ceremony seems to be more than double that of previous years. I rarely show up in public, so where does such high popularity come from?

The possibility of appearance can be basically ruled out. After all, the appearance of the royal family of the blood clan is basically the same. If they all change to a hairstyle, they are carved from the same mold. It is not easy to distinguish them.

Whenever Eve looked at the portraits of her ancestors, she had the illusion that she was looking in the mirror, just by changing her hairstyle.

As for her personality, that should be impossible. Apart from her standard external style when making public appearances, it seems that the only widely circulated things about her are the stories about her physical ban and those of her bloodline faction. Does anyone like this kind of personality?

In short, I don’t understand, people’s hearts are so complicated.

But the demon followers who are about to become active again...

Eve sighed as she recalled the speech she had just given.

I hope he can show up later, at least so that she and Istina can spend a few days in peace and stability before coming back.

Once the war breaks out, she will probably still be one of the main fighting forces. Regardless of the problem of strength, at least she will need to be there in person to solve the issue of the demon remains, and she will not be able to ask anyone else to do it for her.

Haha, the future is going to be very stressful...

While thinking about this, Eve walked towards the inner castle.

Speaking of which, Eve herself is actually a rather contradictory person. On the one hand, she wants to be a Buddhist and travel around with Istina, but on the other hand, she can't let go of her responsibilities. It can only be said that she is born to be a hard-working person.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

A few minutes later, in the basement of the inner castle.

squeak

"I am back."

"Thank you for your hard work. Is it going well?"

Seeing Eve return, Istina hurriedly came to greet her and asked with some concern.

"Fortunately, it was brief and smooth, without any accidents."

While responding to Istina, Eve used magic to change back into her regular clothes. Although formal dresses look good, there are too many things to pay attention to when wearing them. At least she is not used to wearing them, and she probably won't be able to get used to them in the future.

"Ah, it's changed."

Seeing Eve change out of her dress, Istina said with some regret.

"Well, after all, casual clothes are more suitable for movement. If Tina likes it, I can change into a dress to show you later."

Ahem, let me add that normally people are not used to wearing it, unless Istina wants to see it.

"Well, is that a deal?"

"Yeah! It's settled."

squeak

At this time, with the sound of the door opening again, Elizabeth also came here, and came as promised to watch the awakening ceremony of Istina and Lucia.

"Wow, little Eve's speech just now was so cool. She's worthy of being my mother's daughter."

Of course, the first sentence is naturally full of ridicule about Eve's performance just now.

"Hey, didn't Eve look handsome just now?"

After hearing Elizabeth's words, Istina immediately became interested and asked quickly.

"Of course, 'The Awakening Ceremony Begins! May the ancestors guide you on the path forward!'"

Elizabeth said as she imitated Eve's tone and movements.

"Little Eve was so handsome when she was talking about that. She also left the stage quietly, disappearing with the Arcana's beam of light. If you want to see it, little Tina, just come to the study when you have time. Mom has already recorded the video."

"Wait! What's going on with the video? Did you just record it, mother?"

Hearing some incredible news, Eve quickly interrupted the conversation.

"Yes, after all, it's a rare public appearance for Little Eve, so of course we need to commemorate it. Wouldn't Little Eve like it?"

In response to Eve's question, Elizabeth answered as if it was a matter of course.

“Ah no, it’s not that I don’t like it.”

After all, her speech would definitely be recorded by more than just Elizabeth. Not counting the civilian part, the officials of other local clans would also broadcast her speech later. But unlike when facing strangers, Eve still felt a little strange about letting the people around her see her attitude towards the outside world.

"Well, forget it, Tina, let her watch if she wants to. It's nothing."

Clapping her hands, Eve chose to end the topic.

"Then mother, shall we start now?"

"Well, let's get started."

Elizabeth once again released two defensive magic circles in the room, as if she had learned from the experience of only releasing one layer of defensive magic last time, which resulted in it not being able to be repaired in time.

"Um, mother? You don't have to be like this, right?"

Seeing Elizabeth's posture, Eve couldn't help but twitch her lips. It shouldn't be such a big deal.

"It's just a precaution. Mother doesn't want to repair the palace barrier again."

Well, now that Elizabeth said so, what else can Eve say? After all, it was she who caused the problem in the first place.

Without dwelling on this matter any further, Eve directly brought Istina and Lucia to the center of the room.

"Lucia, how about this? Do you remember the oath you should say during the Awakening Ceremony?"

"Ok!"

"Okay, then just read it out when the ceremony begins."

Finally, after rubbing Lucia's little head and gently kissing Istina's red lips as encouragement, Eve stepped aside and held a ceremony for them.

As the magic circle on the ground emitted a dazzling white light, Istina and Lucia began to recite the oath of the contract with the weapon spirit.

Then, the originally white light suddenly turned into a rainbow color. The colorful light made it difficult for everyone present to open their eyes. Then a familiar scene appeared - accompanied by a crisp sound, the first layer of the two layers of defensive magic that Elizabeth had just set up was broken again, and the awakening accident happened again.

Fortunately, Eve was present this time. After discovering that the barrier set up by Elizabeth was damaged, she immediately added another layer, buying time for Elizabeth to repair the second layer of barrier.

In this way, under the relay of mother and daughter, the barrier set up in the room was able to hold on. It is really gratifying that our palace barrier escaped the disaster this time.

As the dazzling rainbow light in the room gradually dissipated, a figure with eyes slightly closed appeared in front of everyone.

This weapon elf is wearing a rainbow-colored dress, which is bright but not messy, as if it is natural. A rapier is hung on her left hand, and a book is on her right hand. It is unclear which one is the main weapon.

Just like that, the highest-level weapon spirit descended here.

§ 7 Resonance state? Unknown situation! [Fifth update]

"Eh, only one?"

Eve frowned slightly at the figure that appeared before them. Both Istina and Lucia should have the potential to awaken a supreme weapon spirit, so why was only one appearing? She just couldn't figure out whether it was Istina's or Lucia's weapon spirit.

At this time, the weapon elf also opened her eyes. At first glance, her pupils were extremely special, constantly changing colors, looking quite gorgeous, as if a rainbow from the sky was plucked and turned into eyes.

Moreover, after appearing, the weapon elf did not immediately introduce herself like Ilvia and the others did. Instead, she stared carefully at Lucia and Istina in front of her, as if trying to discern something.

"Ugh……"

After a long time, she suddenly sighed softly, and then turned into two light particles that merged into the bodies of Istina and Lucia respectively. The rapier appeared in Istina's hand, and Lucia got the book.

Only an indescribable sigh echoed in the air.

"Thrust Sword·Rainbow Flash·Nikilo, Code·Origin of Color·Kurara."

Seeing that the weapon elf disappeared, Eve hurried over.

"How is it? Is everything okay?"

"Hmm... well, the weapon spirit has indeed awakened."

Although she was a little confused about what had just happened, Istina still showed Eve the mark on the back of her hand, which was in the shape of a rapier piercing through a rainbow.

Lucia on the side was much more energetic. After all, it was her first time experiencing the awakening ceremony and she didn't know that what had just happened was abnormal.

"Hmm! Lucia awakened to a book!"

On the back of her hand, an engraving shaped like an open book appeared, with seven star patterns of different sizes on it.

Then Eve used magic to check the bodies of the two people. The result was that everything was fine. There was no situation like Eve fainted at that time. Everything went smoothly.

Eve and the two parties involved naturally had no idea what was going on, so they had to ask Elizabeth for help.

"Mother, what's going on?"

"Hmm... It looks a little like a resonance state, but it also seems a little different."

Elizabeth, who had been thinking all the time, hesitated for a while after hearing Eve's question before speaking uncertainly.

"Um... Mother, what is the resonance state? Could you explain it in more detail?"

After hearing what Elizabeth said, Eve could only say that she had explained it, but she didn't explain it completely and she still didn't understand the situation at all.

"Resonance is an extremely rare condition in the Awakening Ritual. It only occurs with a very low probability between twin brothers or sisters. It manifests as the weapon spirits of two people merging into one, unleashing even greater power. However, this situation is somewhat different from theirs, as they aren't twin sisters after all."

"Well, it doesn't look like it at first glance."

After taking a look at the two people around her, Eve said with absolute certainty.

After all, Istina and Lucia have almost no similarities in age or appearance, so they naturally cannot be the twin sisters that Elizabeth just mentioned.

"In short, since there are so few cases, scholars' research in this area is extremely limited. We can only wait until later to have them summon their weapon spirits and see how things go. For now, let them rest. After all, they just awakened their weapon spirits."

"Ah."

In the end, it was Elizabeth who decided to wait and see and discuss the proposal later.

So Istina and Lucia returned to Eve's bedroom to observe, while Eve went to the library to look up information.

As for Elizabeth, she went back to handle government affairs first. There was no other way. After all, it was the annual awakening ceremony. As the Queen of the Blood Clan, she had a lot of things to review. It was not easy for her to squeeze out some time to watch the awakening ceremony of Istina and the others. However, by chance, she avoided the imperial city's barrier from being harmed again?

After browsing through the library, Eve returned to her bedroom and chatted with Istina and the others to pass the time.

After all, just as Elizabeth said, their situations and resonance states are somewhat similar but also obviously different.

The recorded state of resonance is that two weapon elves of the same level merge into one to unleash even more powerful power, and this situation only occurs among the upper-level weapon elves, which is different from the situation where the highest-level weapon elves like Tina and others are separated into two.

Moreover, the resonance state has high requirements for both parties. Not only do they need to be twin brothers or sisters, but the strength of the two people also needs to be extremely close. It can be said to be quite harsh, and it is no wonder that it has not appeared many times.

In some cases, the resonance state only occurs once during the awakening ceremony, and it is impossible to enter it again afterwards.

In short, it's very metaphysical, and there's a feeling that it's 70% destiny and 30% depends on character.

Therefore, the situation of Istina and Lucia can only be understood bit by bit.

"Hmm... So this is the first time our situation has happened."

After listening to Eve's description, Istina nodded slowly.

"Yes, I've looked through all the special circumstances surrounding the Awakening Ceremony and haven't found anything related to your situation. It's similar to the Resonance state. I can only wait for you to recover before trying again."

Eve felt somewhat helpless as she spoke. Who could have thought that with so many inheritances of the vampire clan, such a clueless situation would arise?

However, Lucia on the side was very carefree. After all, for her, all she had to do was successfully awaken the weapon spirit.

“Sister Eve, what are you talking about with Sister Tina?”

"Nothing, it's just that your weapon spirits are a little special, so little Lucia might have to wait a little longer to get back to the villa. How's that? Don't you find it annoying?"
