After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

I could only grit my teeth and rage helplessly, and it was a bit funny to watch him inexplicably.

Aize also felt that the joke was almost over, so he took a deep breath, put away his smile and replied:

"As for the blood slaves, they seem to be under some kind of control, but it's hard to say exactly what's going on."

What was raging in the royal capital was not the traditional blood plague, but a modified version that combined ancient techniques.

The content of the ancient ritual has not been fully analyzed, so Aize and others still have only a partial understanding of its effects and find it difficult to make effective speculations.

Heidi nodded, thought for a while and asked:

"Could it be that Arthur is controlling them?"

“It’s possible, but it doesn’t seem that simple.”

Arthur was the one who spread the new blood plague, so it is reasonable to assume that he was controlling the blood slaves.

But that still doesn't fully explain what happened over the past two days.

"Until yesterday afternoon, the blood slaves' actions were still out of control. In just a few hours, things have changed drastically. This must have led to some decisive changes."

"Changes? What changes?"

Aize shook his head.

"I don't know either. It might be related to Arthur's purpose. To figure this out, we still need to find a way to analyze the rest of the spell. I don't know about Villian..."

"Looking for me!?"

Accompanied by a cheerful and slightly frivolous voice, a figure making a face suddenly inserted itself between Aize and Heidi from behind.

Aize and Heidi, who were thinking about something, were so scared that they jumped in opposite directions almost at the same time and almost fell to the ground.

Looking closely, Villian appeared out of nowhere and was looking at Aize with a happy smile on her face.

"Are you trying to scare me to death? Why is there no sound at all?!"

Aize, still frightened, was a little angry.

The witch was still smiling, pointing to the study door next to her with a nonchalant expression. They had unknowingly arrived here while talking and chatting.

"Don't blame me. I was just standing here waiting for you. You were so engrossed in your discussion that you didn't notice me. What's wrong? Did I disturb you?"

"nonexistent."

Aize waved his hand, denying this without hesitation, and took a breath to calm himself down.

asked:

"So, what do you want to see me about?"

"What? Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do? You're so cold after just one day of not seeing you. Woohoo, am I going to be abandoned? Cry~"

As the witch said this, she hugged Aize without any hesitation and even pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

Heidi bit her lips subconsciously, and her expression became unusually complex and colorful.

He also received a look of contempt from Aize.

Violet let go of Aize and cleared her throat with two dry coughs.

"Ahem, actually, there has been significant progress on the topic you just mentioned, and I'm here to report it."

Since last night, Villian has been staying in the workshop, studying topics related to eternal night and ancient magic with the vampire magicians, and she didn't even attend the dinner.

Now, suddenly it is said that there has been significant progress.

This cheered up Aize, who was worried about the incident:

"Progress? What progress?"

"Well, it's a bit complicated to explain in words, but in short, we've found a way to eliminate the influence of the Eternal Night and track the flow of magic power."

After saying that, Villian smiled lightly:

"The experiment will start soon, do you want to come and see it?"

Chapter 111 Experiment Time

Following Villian, the group packed up briefly and left the safe zone, arriving at the intersection they had been to before.

There, a small group of magicians sent by the Royal Capital Magic Association to assist had already arrived there in advance and were smearing something on the ground in the middle of the intersection.

Meanwhile, in the shadow of a building where the sun could not reach, several vampires, including Charlotte, had already arrived at the scene.

Charlotte herself was wearing sunglasses and lying on a bench that had been brought from somewhere.

With a large parasol above his head to further block out the light, he rested his head on his arms, his face full of relaxation and leisure.

It formed a sharp contrast with the busy scene next to it, which made Aize look even more upset:

"You...what are you doing?"

"What? Resting, of course. Even for a high-ranking vampire, moving under the sun is very strenuous... Um, well—"

The replying voice was lazy and weak.

After saying that, he even yawned and stretched, then picked up the high-heeled glass on the small table beside him, shook it a few times in a pretentious manner, brought it close to his mouth and gently sipped a small sip of the bright red liquid.

A face full of enjoyment.

Then his head tilted and he lost consciousness and stopped responding, as if he had fallen asleep.

Without considering the messy and ruined streets around, just looking at the current state, it looks more like a seaside vacation.

It's really a real eyesore.

Aize's speechless gaze shifted to Laura, who was standing beside him in a butler's uniform.

"My master is not good at getting up early and not good at daytime activities, so he became like this."

The housekeeper explained this with a serious face.

"...No, is this about not being good at getting up early? And benches and parasols, where did you get these things from?!"

"Please don't worry about the details."

"Then what she drank was..."

"Tomato juice."

"ha?"

"The Master said that as a vampire, even if what you drink isn't blood, the liquid that enters your mouth must be something that resembles blood, like red wine or tomato juice."

What a weird and unfortunate rule.

Forget it, there’s no need to make things so clear about the vampires’ affairs, just let them be.

Thinking of this, Aize scratched his cheek and was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped again:

"Please wait a moment, Master Aize. As a vampire, the master cannot resist the negative effects of sunlight, but there are ways to restore her spirits. Do you want to know?"

"Do not want to."

"Yeah, I knew you wanted to know, so... huh?"

Aize didn't even look back and just refused directly.

So, naturally, the black lines on his face moved from Aize's face to hers, and for a moment she even felt a little at a loss.

"No, why not want to know? This is..."

"But what? It's just about letting her suck my blood or something like that? Is there something else?"

"Woo——"

Aize, who had already walked a few steps, turned around and saw the housekeeper with an embarrassed expression.

This guy is a little obsessed with assists, and he doesn't even bother to wrap his dagger around the map.

Apart from the conversation between the two, Charlotte lying on the bench did not react at all, breathing steadily, her eyes closed and motionless under her sunglasses.

It looks like he is really asleep.

"She participated in last night's research from beginning to end, so she is indeed a little tired."

Villian came over from the side.

"It doesn't really matter if she doesn't come for this experiment, but she came anyway to prevent any accidents. Let her rest for a while."

"Um……"

At yesterday's party, Charlotte insisted that the incident was intended to resurrect her brother.

As this was the situation she was most worried about, she had to do her utmost to prevent it from happening.

Besides this, there is another reason - to help Aize.

Because Aize said last night that if we want to make a breakthrough in the current situation, we must wait for the results of the research.

Therefore, as the next True Ancestor and not a magician, she personally participated in the research work, just to help Aize gain results as soon as possible.

On this level, Aize is indeed very grateful to her.

But this form of rest is too...

Forget it, it doesn’t affect anyone anyway, so just let her be.

Aize turned to Villian and asked:

"How are the preparations for the experiment going?"

The witch smiled lightly and nodded vigorously:

"Already ready to start."

"Then let's get started."

"As ordered!"

Under Aize's gaze, Villian came to the center of the intersection. The busy magicians immediately stopped their work and moved to a safe area.

After nodding at Aize again, the witch began to gather her magic power.

The bright sun's light instantly emerged from the dim air, turning into star-like lights like fireflies, and fell on the blood-stained store.

Instantly, the ground responded.

A complex, huge, and interwoven magic circle suddenly appeared. The flashes of light emerging from it shot straight into the sky like pillars of light, and the overflowing energy coated the entire space with a slightly blurred color.

Aize had seen such a scene a few days ago.

At that time, Villian discovered through research that the ancient rituals included the function of transferring magic power, so she wanted to find some clues by monitoring the flow of magic power.

But it failed because of the existence of eternal night.

The blood plague will turn humans into blood slaves, and the magic power of the blood slaves will continue to overflow, forming a super-large semi-permanent spell that blocks out sunlight.

It is the so-called eternal night.

Although the eternal night of the royal capital has not yet taken shape, the air is already filled with magic. The light that now fills the surroundings is the embodiment of this magic.

In this case, finding the flow of magic is as impossible as observing the movement of a drop of water in the ocean.

But this time, it's different.

Three high-level vampire magicians wearing cloaks stood in their designated positions, surrounded Villian in a triangle, and began to mobilize their magic power.

An ominous dark red light then rushed out, dyeing the magic circle on the ground red, and also dyeing the entire space shrouded by the light column red.

This is the result of Villian and the vampires' research.

First, use the blood of Warcraft mixed with mercury as a carrier to draw a magic circle on the ground. Through the magic circle, the magic power of Villian and the vampire magician are combined into one.

The vampires will be responsible for calibrating the magic related to the Eternal Night, and the rest that is not affected is the magic flow that Aize and others are looking for.

The principle was quite simple, but the systems of witches and vampires differed greatly. The so-called research was actually more about solving the problem of interference between the techniques.

The last resort was the stupid method used by human magicians.
