Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

After sorting out her thoughts, she walked forward quickly.

The center of the abandoned town should have been desolate, but now it seemed extremely lively. A magnificent palace had been built on the original square, with magic crystal lamps lit everywhere, alchemical items playing soothing music, and many gentlemen and ladies dancing on the dance floor.

It looks like a place where nobles have fun.

Luna was a little worried that her outfit would not fit in, but when she arrived at the hall, she found that many vampires were hiding their faces. Some wore masks, and some simply covered their entire bodies like her.

Unlike pure-blooded vampires, the proportion of "barbarians" among mixed-blooded vampires is quite high, and many of them do not pay much attention to the so-called ancient etiquette.

Of course, most of those who hid their bodies and sat in the corners were the weakest, with only the strength of mid-level apprentices. There were not many people like Kerr who were so cautious even at a high level.

Luna hesitated for a while at the banquet before picking up a glass of red wine that did not look like blood.

"Mr. Kerr, I heard that there was some commotion in your territory a few days ago. Everyone thought you were surrounded by human wizards... But seeing you appear here, it should be a small problem."

"Just a small question, Tetsi, what exactly do you want to say?"

The other party was none other than the member of the Mutual Aid Society who had come to invite Kerr. He also had another identity, being Baron Soest’s personal butler.

95. Internal Conflict

The man was a middle-aged vampire, wearing butler's clothes and with a small mustache. He walked to Luna's side.

This Tetesi is also a stronger vampire, exuding an aura stronger than that of the average high-level apprentice, and seems to be at about the same level as Kerr.

"I thought Mr. Kerr wasn't coming."

"I really was too lazy to come at the time, but there was a small accident a few days ago, so I wanted to come and supplement some materials."

Luna explained vaguely, leaving it to these people to imagine what they would think.

"Oh, is that so? Actually, I have some materials on hand, all of which were given to me by the Baron. You know, the Baron was promoted not long ago, and he is still very generous to his subordinates."

This is another person who is here to recruit subordinates... Kerr, who has no circle but is very powerful, is indeed a good target.

Generally speaking, as long as one is strong, even if one is very low-key, he will often be involved in various people and things. No wonder Kerr doesn't like to attend such gatherings.

"I have admired the Baron for a long time. To be able to become a noble with impure blood, we, the mixed-bloods..."

Unlike before, when it came to Baron Soest, Luna immediately showed a more positive attitude.

Seeing that the other party's attitude seemed to be somewhat relaxed, Tetsi was overjoyed. If a lone ranger like Kerr could be recruited by the Baron, it would be a great contribution to him.

"The Baron is willing to give his followers a chance. Isn't the foundation of our Mutual Aid Association to help the mixed-blood vampires survive? Of course, we can get more by doing things for him."

He looked around and suddenly whispered:

"Given your ability, the Baron would be willing to meet you in person..."

......

After the baron's butler left, Luna walked to a corner alone and asked in a low voice:

"Claire, what do you think?"

This time, after a moment of silence, Claire's voice came, her tone firm:

"We're ready. We can take action anytime we get a chance. You can act according to the situation."

"Okay, I'll find a chance."

Luna had just finished her call when another vampire came over. It was Tria and another male vampire whom she had met before.

There are not many mixed-blood vampires who can reach the level of high-level apprentices, and these two are two of them. They were quite popular in the banquet hall just now, and they are completely different from the aloof Kerr.

The handsome vampire male spoke first:

"Kerr, have you just talked to Tetsi? Is he trying to recruit you for the Baron again?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

"Hmph, the Baron is very powerful. If we don't unite to fight him, are we going to be divided by him? Kerr, I was very confident in you. Are you going to be the Baron's dog too?!"

The vampire's words were very harsh, even offensive.

"Tesos was originally just one of us! He was lucky enough to become a baron and forgot his original oath! The Blood Clan Mutual Aid Association has become his private property! For marginalized vampires like us, we can only cooperate if we want to survive, but after he became a baron, he wanted to curry favor with those pure-bloods!"

He made a series of angry remarks accusing the baron, with an excited look on his face, which made Tria standing beside him a little stiff.

"I have no interest in serving under the Baron."

I just wanted to kill him.

"I hope you can keep your word. As long as we don't give in, Tesos will have no one to use. If you have the guts, let him attack the city alone!"

The male vampire left angrily after being reminded by the female vampire Triya. Triya said quickly:

"I'm sorry, you know. Roth and Tesos have always been at odds. But he is right about one thing. Tesos is too greedy and stingy. We must strive for more benefits."

Luna looked at them thoughtfully as they walked aside. After a while, the real protagonist of the party, Baron Tesos, appeared.

......

The biggest impression Baron Tesos gave people was that he was ordinary. Yes, as a vampire, he had a very ordinary appearance, not as handsome and beautiful as most vampires. This was considered a sign of a thin bloodline among vampires.

"Feeling... a little weak?"

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Luna did not try her best to test him. She just felt vaguely that he did not look very dangerous.

Tesos was not only not vicious, but more like a smooth businessman. He greeted the vampires in a very approachable manner, danced with several beautiful female vampires, and then began to speak.

The plain-looking vampire walked to the center of the hall and clapped his hands. The thirty or so vampires present immediately stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on the baron.

The Baron does not always attend in person, but he usually makes some important speeches at the gathering.

"Everyone, welcome to the banquet I'm hosting. It's a great honor for you to come this time..."

After reminiscing about the past for a while, he finally changed the subject.

"Don't be afraid of being laughed at by you. A few days ago, one of my convoys was attacked by human wizards near Black Rock City, and my men suffered heavy casualties. Even two pure-blooded little guys were unfortunately killed. The other barons found out about this, and they have been putting pressure on me recently."

Baron Soest seemed helpless and spread his hands.

"I have been a baron for half a year, but I have not achieved much. To be honest, I used to love peace as much as you all. But now that things have come to this, I must capture a human city..."

The vampires in the field suddenly became quiet, and most of them looked grim.

As expected, Soest soon revealed his true intentions:

"You are all my brothers, and I don't want to force you all to do things. But according to the Earl's order, we must make achievements, and I ask you to lend me a hand."

No one responded for a long time. Then the male vampire next to Tria, Ruote, spoke first, and he was a little aggressive:

"Baron! We can help you, but how much will you pay us?"

Tesos was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"This is war! War! The great pure-blood nobles want us to fight, how can I refuse?"

His expression turned grim, and he glanced at the vampires present:

"You don't have to respond to my call. But according to the regulations of war, I will have the power to deal with any untitled vampire deserters."

Sost was the leader of the vampires in this area, and when he brought up the regulations, Roth was speechless.

Luna watched coldly. Except for a few, the rest of the vampires did not dare to disobey the baron and left in a hurry after the banquet.

The blood clan butler Tetsi also quickly transmitted the message:

"Mr. Kerr can stay. The Baron will summon you soon."

us?

96.Start

The number of vampires present gradually decreased. After hearing the news of the war, most of them left with worry.

Through some words from the vampires, Luna has almost figured out the situation.

Tesos was promoted only half a year ago, and he was born into a mixed-blood family. This resulted in him having very few subordinates to use, and many vampires in the Mutual Aid Association did not take this originally poor buddy seriously.

Gradually, only a few people were left in the banquet hall.

Luna, Tria, Rote, an unknown vampire, and then Baron Tesos and his butler Tetesi.

They are basically all the mixed-blooded ones with good strength.

Tesos looked at these people and spoke calmly:

"Everyone, I'll leave you alone. You can talk freely about anything you want to say."

The excited Ruote wanted to speak, but was stopped by Tria. She, another vampire, and Ruote seemed to be a small group.

At this time, Tria spoke on their behalf:

"Baron! You know, it's hard for us mixed-bloods to survive. We can fully cooperate with you. We just want more..."

She seemed to want to negotiate, but Soest snorted and interrupted her:

"No! You are not qualified to negotiate with me!"

Tesos seemed to have completely lost his patience. He stood up from his seat and glanced at the several vampires present:

"You only have two choices: surrender or die!"

He gave a look, and Tetsi immediately came forward with a stack of scrolls in his hands:

"This is the contract that the Baron has given to you. Once you sign it, you will become the Baron's confidants."

It seems that this contract must be extremely harsh. Several vampires originally wanted to negotiate the terms, but they did not expect that Baron Soest was not prepared to negotiate with them at all.

It looked like Roth was about to explode, and even Tria became anxious and did not stop him.

"Soest! Have you forgotten the oath of our mutual aid society? You became a baron, but instead of helping your former friends, you force them!"

"Shut up!"

Swish!

A dark ray emanated from Soest's hand and instantly pierced through Roth. A large hole appeared in the latter's chest and he fell to the ground.

"you......"

This vampire seemed to have never thought that he would die like this, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"What an idiot. What does the oath we made mean? A mere ant dares to negotiate with the baron. Isn't this ridiculous?"

Soest glanced at the other three people:

"Do you think so?"

"Everyone, once you sign the contract, you can leave."

The vampire butler, Tetesi, walked forward with a blank expression and gave Luna a look.

If Kerr surrendered first, it would undoubtedly put the other two under tremendous pressure. However, Luna certainly would not sign any contract. Rather, she hoped to see the vampires fighting among themselves.

Luna didn't move as if she saw nothing, and the man and woman beside her didn't say a word.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, just as Soster was about to slowly raise his hand.

Tria lifted the hem of her wide dress and smiled slightly:

"Baron, do you think we are all fools like Roth? Please let us leave immediately."

Under her skirt, on her two seductive white thighs, there were alchemical bombs tied all over. There were nearly twenty of them, so densely packed that Luna felt a little creepy.

If she had been talking to someone in front...she would have moved a few steps to the side without saying a word.

The other male vampire also looked calm. He took out a dark scroll and looked directly at Soest:

"Lord Baron, you have just been promoted. I wonder if you can handle this first-level shadow corrosion scroll?"

Luna was speechless. Could they fight today? No matter how you looked at it, it was going to be a lose-lose situation.

Soest seemed to be shocked by the scene as well. He was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He raised his hand and two powerful shadow rays shot out, heading straight for the two vampires.

“——You actually!”

Tria reacted quickly, took a last lingering look at the man beside her, and then pounced towards Sost like a moth.
