Real elves vs fake elves

Apparently those words had been too stimulating for his aged heart.

"Here, my blood is here." The vampire smiled and took out a bottle of blood in a gentlemanly manner, and placed it on the table in front of the old general. "If you figure it out, drink it."

"You know how to find me. I'll be waiting for you anytime."

"The Castle of Silence is always waiting for you."

After he finished speaking, the vampire turned into a large group of flying bats and disappeared completely in an instant, disappearing quickly in the secret room.

When he realized that there was no trace of the vampire anymore, the old general finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a terrifying race! Their ability to seduce is no less than that of real demons."

"But...but I can clearly feel that incomparable power..."

While pondering, the old man picked up the bottle of vampire blood, and his face became fanatical.

Even if the vampire has left, the charm he cast is not something that mere mortals can detect and resist.

"For this power... everything is worth it..."

Even though the fear that still surrounded him in the nightmare was magnified again, the old man himself even trembled uncontrollably because of this fear.

The enemy has not yet arrived, but morale has already collapsed.

“Yes, it’s all worth it.”

"As long as that nightmare is gone, as long as I am no longer afraid, everything will be worth it!"

"I want to...restore my dignity!"

"Restore my warrior's dignity!"

At the end of his words, the old man's voice became firm, but this firmness was definitely not a good thing.

Based on this situation, I can only congratulate the vampire for successfully rolling a charm.

………………

The Quiet Castle, a place that mortals cannot see with their naked eyes, a place that even wizards need a lot of effort to discover, this is the gathering place of vampires.

It can be said that it is a place that cannot be detected by any method.

The vampire who had just seduced the old man is now in this castle. In front of him is a woman in a gorgeous scarlet robe, a standard court lady. She looks elegant and charming at the same time.

It can be said to be one of the best roast chicken.

"How many human nobles are sure to join our camp this time?"

Shaoji took out a folding fan to cover the lower half of his face, but the beauty of the exposed upper part was enough to make one's breath stop. It was the kind of amazing face that could make birds forget to fly and fish forget to breathe.

This face alone would cause substantial harm in human society. It is a beauty critical strike on the physical level.

"Four." The young vampire replied with a smile and kissed the back of the woman's hand. "According to your plan, the human noble alliance is almost completely taken down by us. We will also send assassins to eliminate the few remaining guys who are resisting stubbornly."

"Believe me, my goddess, humans are very weak. They are totally unable to stop the assassinations we send out."

Chapter 23 The So-Called True Death

In the shadows, in the deserted castle, two vampires were discussing their conspiracy.

They are like black hands lurking behind human society, using interests and desires as bait to make nobles and commoners act according to their wishes and make history flow according to their wishes.

When the conversation turned to something exciting, the two bad guys simultaneously let out loud and tasteless laughter. It was no longer a question of whether they looked like bad guys or not, but that bad guys would shout that they had met bad guys when they saw them.

"For the great Queen Elizabeth!"

Suddenly, the female vampire, whose cheeks were flushed with excitement, said something fanatically.

When the young vampire heard this, he immediately followed, fearing that he would be left behind.

"For the great Queen Elizabeth!"

When talking with the old general before, although the young vampire called Vampire Arcade the emperor of all vampires, his attitude was not very respectful. However, when calling Elizabeth's name, his expression was extremely fanatical.

It's as if believers are calling on God.

"That old dog named Orlando." The female vampire suddenly said again.

"He tore up the envoys we sent out. He rejected Queen Elizabeth's kindness. This is an attempt at blasphemy and a declaration of war!"

The female vampire gnashed her teeth as she spoke, and she was obviously extremely angry.

"We cannot rashly declare war on the main race of this world, because they have power that we cannot imagine. The source of that power should be their so-called gods."

"That idiot came into this world and started to show off his power. His failure was foreseeable to everyone. We all knew that he was bound to fail. His character determined that he would never succeed."

"But this is not a reason for him to disappear from this world!"

"When our great Queen...our great Queen Elizabeth took nearly a month to verify, how shocking was the fear that a young man brought to us after he disappeared from this world?"

"A vampire. He once lived in our world. He exists in our memories, in our documents, and in our family files. He is a living person. He exists in every aspect."

"Then he disappeared."

"He disappeared from our memory."

"He disappeared from the soul link."

"He disappeared from the family files."

"He disappeared from court documents."

"He completely disappeared from our world."

"If it weren't for Queen Elizabeth, we wouldn't have realized this at all. We didn't even find any clues until we came to this world. We pieced together what kind of person this was through various clues... what an idiot!"

"Even now, he doesn't seem like the person I remember, but more like someone I just met through investigation."

"He has completely left our world!"

After hearing these words, even the young vampire felt a lingering fear.

"I will be careful... The humans in this world possess power that is hard for us to imagine. I will never easily touch this power that should not be touched."

Although vampires are arrogant, they are also full of awe for those with power. The unclear death of their compatriots obviously makes them extremely afraid. Although they don't have any thoughts of revenge for their compatriots, they are afraid of death.

Especially this kind of "death" that completely disappears.

This special way of "death" is enough to make them dare not act rashly against this world.

………………

Not everyone welcomes these sudden appearances of alien creatures. Some so-called conservatives definitely have a negative attitude towards these things.

To be honest, it's not just vampires, these conservatives have the same negative attitude towards Ossotopia. If the elves hadn't inexplicably started to get close to these necromancers, and the Grand Cathedral hadn't had an ambiguous attitude towards them because of the necromancers' amazing productivity, this group of conservatives would probably have already called up the army to send troops to conquer.

However, in the current situation, let alone sending troops to conquer, even the conservatives are starting to doubt themselves.

It seems like I am the evil one?

"Sir, you are our backbone. When Nicholas was wreaking havoc on the entire human world, it was you who preserved our most noble fire. You are a hero to mankind, and no one can question your status."

"Because you are the last Grand Duke of mankind. If you follow the rules of the empire, you can already crown yourself and become the supreme emperor!"

Orlando, also known as the Wolfhound Duke, also felt a headache looking at the group of people in front of him.

He had barely escaped from Nicholas by faking his own death. After his escape, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Nicholas had deliberately let him go. Out of guilt and a sense of responsibility, he tried his best to gather and protect humans during his escape. At the same time, he was also investigating the reasons for Nicholas's fall. He believed that this matter would definitely not be as simple as it seemed.

Although Nicholas is indeed a jerk, he is definitely not that bad.

Kind of situation.

Even in this situation of walking on thin ice step by step, Orlando himself did not expect that he would inexplicably gain such amazing prestige.

Not only did he become one of the three most powerful people in this so-called aristocratic alliance, but he was even the leader of this group of conservatives...

It's really a matter of life and death. Don't you think it's unlucky to choose an unlucky guy cursed by the god of greed as your leader?

"The elves and the Great Cathedral must have a higher level of respect for order than us. Since they believe that those necromancers are not heretics, then they are not heretics."

Opening up is a statement that is very consistent with the conservatives' ideas. Although this statement sounds fine at first glance, it is also the source of the conservatives' confusion.

Wasn’t it the Cathedral that called for the fight against the necromancers back then?

Why are the relations getting better all of a sudden?

How do you want us, the people who used to follow you and cheer for you, to deal with it?

To put it bluntly, isn't this betrayal?

"Of course, there is another possibility. Necromancers play a vital role in the reconstruction of the human kingdom. Because this role is irreplaceable and cannot be ignored, the Grand Cathedral allows their existence."

"And because of their contribution to rebuilding human society, this huge contribution is enough to redeem the sins that the necromancers once committed. As long as they can really help us rebuild human society, then letting them live in the sun is not a big deal."

Orlando once again expressed his comfort, and his words were very reasonable and well-founded, which finally calmed the conservatives down.

In fact, they could understand this point, but they couldn't say it out loud. They had to let someone with enough weight say it out loud.

Obviously, Orlando is very important.

But Orlando had another idea.

He had already sent people to investigate Bonetopia, and the conclusion he came to was that this city-state was very strong... very strong.

You guys are asking for trouble with Bonetopia, are you sure you are asking for trouble?

With the idea of ​​saving a life in mind, Orlando decided to ignore their thoughts and directly say what they wanted to hear.

Chapter 24 Failed Assassination

Meetings of high-end people often take on a low-end form.

This group of old men and young people complained about everything they could in a tone like a nagging woman, from the Great Cathedral to the elves to their subjects. They complained about the unfair distribution by the elves and the Great Cathedral, the ungratefulness of their subjects, and the cruelty of Nicholas back then.

After complaining about everything they knew they could complain about, they started talking about women, men, tomboys, sissies, lolis, and shotas...

Orlando was like the group leader, watching these people chatting about random things, then everyone gathered at the table to continue chatting, and finally everyone went home to find their mothers.

When the so-called banquet was over, Orlando found an old man.

This person was none other than the old general who had had a pleasant conversation with the young vampire before.

"Lord Dolan, please stay."

After hearing Orlando's words, the old general was stunned at first, then looked at the other party deeply, but finally stayed.

When the two men came to an empty room, old Dolan spoke first.

"Are you going to ask me about my son secretly embezzling aid supplies?"

"Yes, indeed, he did do such a thing?"

"But who did he become like this for? Don't you know what he used to be like? He paid such a heavy price for his subjects. So what if he lets them pay the price to prolong his life?"

"After being rescued by our family, those civilians kept saying they wanted to repay us. Now it's time for them to repay us. Why did they tell you about this?"

"They are a bunch of ungrateful bastards! My child just wants to live! I just want my family to continue! What's wrong with that!"

Orlando: “…”

For a moment he didn't even know how to answer these questions.

Seeing that Orlando remained silent and seemed to have no idea how to respond, old Dolan sighed, then turned and left the room without looking back.

The castle was deserted after the banquet. Because of the war, although Orlando owned a magnificent castle, there were not many servants and maids inside, and the castle seemed very lonely.

In this deserted corridor, old Dolan muttered to himself, and his tone was very abnormal, as if the charm spell cast by the vampire on him had taken effect again.

"I didn't do anything wrong... they owed me."

"My...my family should take back what rightfully belongs to us."

"My family just wants to continue, there's nothing wrong with that."

"My child just wants to survive, and there's nothing wrong with that."

"Yes, I was absolutely right. Everything I did was right."

It was unclear whether these strange words were self-hypnosis or hypnosis cast upon him by someone else.

In this strange state, Old Doran kept repeating these words, and in a state that he himself was not aware of, the old man's shadow twisted and became extremely strange.

A black shadow appeared, and then it quickly disappeared into the darkness of the entire castle.

The vampire assassin takes action and will complete all tasks assigned by his master.

Just as old Doran left the castle gate without knowing it, a maid looked at everything in front of her and also made strange mutterings to herself.
