Ella then asked.
“I don’t know why he attacked you… My body is almost beyond my control… I can only instinctively follow his orders.”
The Blood Servant slowly shook his head, then continued, "But I can tell you who turned me into this..."
However, before he could finish speaking, the young vampire beside him suddenly changed his expression, "Oh no, we can't let him say that!"
The next second, the Blood Servant's eyes, which had finally regained some consciousness, suddenly widened, revealing a violent aura, and were instantly filled with spiderweb-like blood vessels.
His body then rapidly expanded, and his withered fingers quickly grew into sharp beast claws.
"What are you guys up to?!"
The young priest in the church procession immediately glared angrily at the vampires.
“We did nothing! It's possible that the blood servant's bloodline contract contains a restriction placed on him by his master,”
The vampire youth hurriedly explained, "I should have realized that! This blood servant is clearly a monster that turns into a mindless monster once its master's name is mentioned!"
"Beware!"
Elder Antal had no intention of pursuing the responsibility of the vampires at this moment. He picked up his scepter and was about to rush into the fence to cover Ella, who was facing the monster.
But the scenario the elder feared did not occur.
The blood servant, now terrifying and ferocious, opened its blood-red maw, its suppressed roar rising to its throat, but was choked back by the girl's glare.
Then the monstrous blood servant went limp and immediately knelt down before Ella.
Before long, his body slowly shrank back from the monster's form to his original human form, as if the transformation was just to give the girl in front of him an early New Year's greeting in a powerful manner.
Elder Antar, who had rushed into the cell, stopped abruptly. He then sheepishly withdrew his staff, turned his head with a complicated expression, and glared at Greg, who was guarding the door and seemed to have anticipated this situation and remained unmoved.
Greg could only shrug helplessly, while the group of vampires looked even more astonished. The vampire girl, who had initially been somewhat critical of Ella's haughty attitude at the door, leaned close to the young vampire leader's ear and whispered in a vampire-specific communication spell, "Brother... this... isn't right..."
"Shh... I know... I'll go back and report to the clan leader..."
The young vampire withdrew his shocked gaze, replaced by a sense of vigilance and worry.
Their communication technique is somewhat similar to that of bats, subtly emitting sound waves at frequencies higher than the human ear can hear to communicate, completely undetected by the priests and detectives nearby.
Others might only be amazed by Ella's unfathomable methods, but for them, as vampires, their understanding of vampires was truly shattered.
Bloodline contracts are the core of the vampire power system. For them, this is not only the rule for vampires to control their blood servants, but also the relationship law between high-ranking vampires and low-ranking vampires, and between elder vampires and their offspring.
But this girl actually managed to make the character at the lower level of the contract break through the constraints of the upper level... On a small scale, this might just be convenient for the interrogation at hand, but on a larger scale, it could be a threat that could overthrow the entire vampire clan.
Of course, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that now, and Ella has only shown the ability to stop blood servants from going berserk due to violating the contract restrictions. However, the existence of such a sign is already quite frightening for these vampires.
"Just now I……"
Having regained his senses, the Blood Servant looked at his hands in confusion, then bowed apologetically to Ella and said, "I'm sorry, I don't think I can say his name..."
"fine,"
The silver gleam in Ella's deep red pupils faded, and she waved her hand. "We can find someone else to talk to."
Chapter 113 Gangster's Daughter
Due to restrictions, Blood Servants cannot directly or indirectly mention their master's information, but they can introduce themselves.
To Ella's surprise, this blood servant, who looked like an old man in his seventies, was actually only fourteen years old.
Before he was transformed into a blood servant, he was just an ordinary boy living in the Fog City Industrial Zone, and he even had a single mother who worked in a steam factory.
"Zeng"...there was one.
He was transformed into a blood servant, and his mother was subsequently killed by the vampire who had transformed him into a blood servant.
This happened about two months ago.
"...Two months ago, your compatriots did something like this?"
Elder Antar stared at the young vampire leader.
“This shouldn’t be… All the vampire clans in Fog City are clearly registered, and each family holds regular gatherings. If someone had secretly done something like this, their family patriarch couldn’t possibly not know…”
The young vampire listened, somewhat bewildered. Now that a peace treaty had been signed, attacking humans should be something that all vampire clans in Fog City were strictly prohibited from doing.
"I'm very sorry, this is also our dereliction of duty..."
Greg frowned. "Let me think... two months ago... there were indeed a few cases of female workers going missing in the industrial area, but I remember they were all closed."
"They might be migrant workers in the shantytown without legal residency permits, Inspector."
One detective cautioned, "That group is highly mobile... If someone goes missing, it might not be discovered."
"Sir, could you please help me find out the specific street and area where he used to live?"
Greg said to Ella.
Ayla nodded, and Igrego asked about the Blood Servant's needs.
However, the other party's memory was somewhat confused after being transformed into a blood servant, and he could only barely tell the approximate location of his home.
The young vampire explained that this was a side effect of giving too many forced commands to the vampire servants, which increased their bestial nature and damaged their intelligence.
"But this practice is really despicable and has no dignity whatsoever as a race with golden blood."
He said angrily, "To the Holy Temple and the Royal Police, I assure you, our families will do everything in our power to find this disgusting and barbaric traitor."
"I will go to the archives to compile the files of the previous missing persons cases, and I will ask my colleagues from the Magic Defense Department to investigate the matter in the industrial area."
Greg then added, “My lords of the Sanctuary, if you wish, you may send someone to accompany me.”
"Priestess Havil, what do you think?"
Elder Antal turned his head and first asked Ella for her opinion.
“I have other things to take care of in a bit… If you have any manpower on your side, Elder, could you please help follow up first? I’ll go over there after I’ve finished dealing with those matters.”
Ella thought for a moment, then replied, remembering that her good friend Li Cheng still had to investigate Su Xiyun's whereabouts.
"Of course, you can go ahead and attend to your other important matters. We'll take care of things here. But we regret that we haven't been able to properly entertain you. Also, if there's anything we can do to help you, the Fog City Cathedral is always ready to serve you."
The reverence in her words was quite evident. Ella smiled and waved her hand. "Thank you for your concern, Elder. I will come to you if I need anything later. I apologize that I am too busy to visit you right now. Please give my regards to everyone in the Mist City Sanctuary. May the Holy Light protect you."
May the Holy Light protect you.
Elder Antal bowed slightly.
That's all the information we can get from interrogating the Blood Servant for now. The three factions each began their own investigations. After leaving the Fog City Prison, Ella, along with her two attendants, Orfindo and Ophelia, hid in a street and then opened a portal to teleport to King's Cross Street, where Li City was located.
I felt pretty relaxed yesterday, but today I'm spinning like a top, working non-stop.
Ella thought helplessly.
The clues about Su Xiyun here are also very important, so it would be safer for her to come in person.
Sigh, when Ye Xiao was around, we didn't need to go through all that trouble.
No, isn't Ye Xiao also me...? In the end, isn't it still me who's busy...?
Ella pursed her lips, then turned her gaze to Li Cheng in the room.
Knowing that Ella would use a teleportation portal, Li Cheng specially booked a private room in the tavern and set out some food and drinks to wait for her. As soon as Ella appeared, he waved and said, "Holy Maiden, you've worked hard. Would you like something to eat?"
"It's okay, I'm not too hungry."
Ella declined Li Cheng's offer, saying, "And please don't call me that when we're outside later."
“I know that I should call you ‘Miss’ in front of outsiders.”
Li Cheng chuckled sheepishly, then stood up and patted his black trench coat. "Miss, look, I specially changed into this outfit, the same one Ye Ge is wearing. Doesn't it give me a gangster vibe?"
"I keep getting the feeling you're subtly criticizing me..."
Ella's lips twitched. What does "Ye-ge's style" mean? Does my Ye Xiao look like a hot-headed thug?
"how come."
Li Cheng walked to the door with his head held high and opened it for Ella. "The brothers are all waiting outside. It's rare for Miss Saint to do a mission with us, so we must make a grand entrance."
Upon hearing Li Cheng's words, Ella had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, as soon as she stepped outside, she saw a group of Seven Stars Society members, all dressed in sharp black trench coats, sitting scattered in the lobby.
As soon as they saw Ella appear, they all stood up and quickly lined up in two rows around the door, as if they had rehearsed it.
At the same time, Li Cheng, who was following behind Ella, suddenly raised his hand, and everyone stomped their feet and shouted in unison, "Good morning, Miss!"
The loud noise drew the attention of the other patrons in the hall, with those sitting nearby running away as if afraid of getting involved.
Ella felt a vein throbbing on her forehead. She stiffly turned her head, giving him a look that said, "What the hell are you doing?"
"How about that, brothers? Pretty impressive, huh?"
"I think I've been itching for a beating for days."
Ella gritted her teeth; what she couldn't stand most about this kid was that he always had to do something messy.
However, though the speaker meant no harm, the listener took it to heart. Ella didn't notice that Orfindo's eyes suddenly lit up as he walked beside her.
"No, Miss!"
Li Cheng scratched his head and chuckled, "The main thing is that I told the Blackwater Gang that we are an outsider gang, so I figured we should pretend to be a gang."
"The other side sent their boss this time. When our boss meets another boss, we need to make a show of force so that we don't lose in terms of presence."
"Can't you just say we're just an adventurer's guild?"
Ella was speechless.
"The mere name of an adventurer's guild won't intimidate them. You need a bit of a violent aura to deal with these gang members, so a gang name is cooler... I mean, better."
As Li Cheng spoke, he suddenly raised his head and puffed out his chest, "Oh, the timing is perfect, hehe, they've arrived too."
Ella followed Li Cheng's gaze and saw a large group of burly men wearing brown trench coats and top hats walking into the lobby of the tavern.
To be honest, their style of dress was quite similar to that of the Seven Stars Society, and even their pomp and circumstance were very similar. They had a middle-aged gentleman with a cigar hanging from his arm and wearing a tie in the middle, who was obviously the leader.
The gang members entered and began to drive away the patrons in the lobby. The middle-aged man, holding a cane, slowly walked towards Ella, followed by the rest of his gang.
Chapter 114 Negotiation
The air was filled with the aroma of coffee beans. In the dimly lit lobby, at each end of an old-fashioned wooden table, members of the Seven Stars Society and the Blackwater Gang stood, their dark figures resembling two clouds about to meet, clearly separated by a candlestick in the middle.
The curtains around were drawn, and Blackwater gang members dressed in jackets and trench coats guarded the front and back doors, while the tavern owner and waiters waited behind the bar.
"Hello, friends from Loren."
The middle-aged man holding a cane sat down on the wooden chair that his gang members had pulled out, and spoke in a deep, magnetic voice, "I am Jolian, the acting boss of the Blackwater Gang."
"acting?"
Li Cheng stood to the left of the armchair where Ella was sitting, his tall and slender figure accentuated by his button-down trench coat. His expression was cold. "What do you mean? I thought it would be your boss who came today."
What a joke! He invited his own elder brother over, and they sent a lackey to deal with it. That's really disrespectful.
"The boss is unable to appear in person for some reason. But talking to me is the same, since you're all mainly here to seek information, right?"
Jolian remained unfazed.
Li Cheng curled his lips, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, and turned his head slightly, as if asking Ella's opinion with his eyes.
As soon as Ella gives the order, he will immediately lead the Seven Stars Society to rush up and take down these people.
The atmosphere immediately became somewhat tense.
Ella's gaze was rather amused. She lay back on the soft chair with her legs crossed, one hand supporting her cheek, silently observing Jolian for a while before nodding slightly.
【The Saintess's Dog 2: Young Miss, are we going to take them down?】
[Late Night Snack: What the hell? I mean, let's talk first! Besides, if you can't understand my eyes, why bother communicating with them?]
[The Saintess's Dog 2: Doesn't this show how well we're in sync?]
"Well, I guess you're lucky."
Li Cheng lowered his hand from the hilt of his sword. "Let's continue."
There's an old saying on the Eastern Continent: "Peace is the most precious thing."
Jolian smiled. "I can see that you are all quite capable, but since you are new here, it would be best to try to communicate in a peaceful manner."
