Inside the Odora family's villa, Emlyn met Cosmi, who was also a baron.
This Sanguine in his prime was Nibbs Odora's spokesperson.
I'm also a baron, and it hasn't been long since I came of age … Emlyn mumbled inwardly as he stood up from the sofa in the activity room and bowed.
"Good evening, Your Excellency."
Cosmi was just about to say something when his nose suddenly twitched. His gaze turned to the wooden crate beside Emlyn's feet.
"The smell of fresh blood?"
As he voiced his doubts, he seemed to have thought of something. After pondering for a second, he added,
After a second of silence, he added, "You killed another target?"
Emlyn's lips curled up as he shook his head.
"No."
Then, before Cosmi could ask, his smile deepened.
"It's not one, but two."
Two? Cosmi, who looked like a middle-aged gentleman, was taken aback as he watched Emlyn bend down to pick up the wooden crate and open the lid.
During this process, Emlyn's facial muscles twitched and contorted a little. This was because, in this series of actions, he had touched the wound on his right hand.
Resisting the change in his expression, Emlyn lowered his arm slightly, tilting the wooden crate forward, completely exposing the items inside to the Sanguine baron's line of sight.
Two blood-stained and charred heads were stuffed into a pile of old newspapers. Beside them were two translucent objects that resembled hearts. One was bright red, and the other was dark red that was nearly black.
This scene with a strong visual impact was reflected in Cosmi's eyes, making him raise his head in surprise. He looked at Emlyn in surprise and blurted out, "What's going on?
He looked at Emlyn in surprise and blurted out, "You did it?"
Although he had only recognized one of the heads as Galis Kevin's, the two Vampire Beyonder characteristics couldn't be faked!
Emlyn put down the wooden crate and naturally lowered his right hand. He flicked it slightly at the edge of his trousers before replying with a smile, "Of course.
"This is what happened.
"Here's the thing. After receiving the 7,000 pounds reward, I bought the 'inheritance' of a certain baron at a Beyonder gathering and used it to advance my level.
"I don't wish to use money to satisfy the murderers who hunt us Blood Breeds, but I don't want to see this' inheritance 'fall into someone else's hands. Besides, the seller might not be the hunter."
Taking this opportunity, Emlyn told them about how he had become a Baron, and every word he said was the truth.
This was a technique he had learned on the Tarot.
I already knew that you were a baron. Do you think that you can hide from our eyes by frequently buying all kinds of spiritual materials and borrowing books on potions? If it wasn't for certain reasons, I would've gotten you here to question you … What I'm surprised about is that with your combat standards and the fact that you don't have a single mystical item and only want to buy dolls, even if you're already a Baron, it's impossible for you to easily hunt two artificial vampires without causing a huge stir … Even I have to make sufficient preparations and grasp detailed information before I can do it … Emlyn has actually become so powerful without anyone noticing? Cosmi Odora couldn't help but curse inwardly before revealing a fake smile.
"I see.
"Emlyn, why did you hide it previously? Don't you want the other vampires to address you as Lord Baron? "
Emlyn glanced at the Sanguine's expression and raised his chin slightly.
"I was about to tell everyone, but I ran into this hunting competition, so I wanted to give you a surprise.
"Cosmi, I've already successfully hunted three Primordial Moon believers, and you only gave me five targets. Does this mean that I've won?"
He couldn't wait to change the way he addressed him from Baron to Cosmi.
Cosmi's eyelids twitched as he chuckled.
"Yes, that's right. You don't have to worry about the remaining two targets. Leave them to Rus Báthory and the others. This way, they can still get some consolation rewards. "
At this point, Cosmi felt that he was being too cold, so he hurriedly asked in concern,
"Are you hurt?"
"Just a small injury." Emlyn raised his right arm and stretched his fingers.
Frankly speaking, the most serious injury he had suffered during tonight's hunting operation was actually caused when he was Teleported out of East Borough. He had scratched open his skin and blood vessels to smear the cover of Leymano's Travels with his blood.
Cosmi wasn't able to continue on this topic. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Congratulations on obtaining victory in this hunting competition.
"Congratulations on winning this hunting competition. You will receive two prizes.
"First, if there's a chance of becoming a Viscount in the future, you can directly enter the final list and receive the help of a free ritual.
"Second, you will obtain a mystical item. It's a ring personally made by the Ancestor in ancient times. Although it doesn't contain any godhood, it has very powerful and magical powers. As the Ancestor didn't name it, we call it Lilith's Ring.
"Also, according to convention, these two Beyonder characteristics will belong to the entire Sanguine. This way, there might be two more newborns, and you will receive 3,000 pounds in exchange."
A ring personally made by the Ancestor … Although Emlyn was a little regretful that the reward wasn't a Viscount Beyonder characteristic, with it only being a candidate and a free ritual, the ring personally made by the Sanguine Ancestor Lilith was enough to make up for everything.
To a Sanguine with a strong sense of racial pride, this was the highest symbol of honor!
After calming down from his joy, Emlyn, who had experienced many Tarot Gatherings and completed two hunts, vaguely felt that things weren't that simple.
I was sent by the Ancestor to Mr. Fool's place, and now, I've obtained a ring from the Ancestor. Isn't it too much of a coincidence? Emlyn thought for a moment, but he couldn't come up with an answer. All he could do was pray to Mr. Fool later and explain the entire matter to see what this existence would say.
Seeing Emlyn's joy settle and him remaining silent for more than ten seconds, Cosmi cleared his throat and said,
"That ring and the cash will be yours tomorrow night.
"When the time comes, I'll gather Rus Báthory and the others and publicly announce that you've won the hunting competition. Then, I'll give you the ring."
"No problem." Although Emlyn didn't have much experience in such matters, he knew that the "prize" couldn't be given in private. It had to be given in front of all the participants.
He didn't stay any longer as he bade farewell and left Odora's villa, getting into a rental carriage.
As the carriage slowly drove, Emlyn looked at the crimson moon that hung silently in midair. His heart gradually calmed down as he couldn't help but recall the various details of the day. From them, he summarized many experiences and lessons.
Finally, he calculated how many Beyonder powers he needed to record into Leymano's Travels.
I've used five Lightning Strikes, and they've all been used … There's still one Teleportation, one Door Opening, and one Astrology … A total of eight. I still have to pay for two more, making it ten.
This is a little difficult. Some Beyonder powers probably can't be recorded, just like my self-healing powers … I can only repeat them … Heh, when I obtain the Ancestor's ring, I can attempt to record the Beyonder powers it possesses …
…
"Lilith's Ring?" Above the gray fog, in the palace that looked like a giant's residence, Klein sat on the high-back chair corresponding to The Fool as he pondered over the contents of Emlyn White's prayer.
He originally imagined that he would be woken up in the middle of the night, forcing him to provide help to a vampire with little combat experience, but he never expected Emlyn to settle everything before eleven. He had even "submitted" the mission.
Back then, Emlyn prayed to The Fool because of the revelation given by the ancient goddess, Lilith … Now, I've obtained "Her" ring … Regardless of who this Lilith is, I have to be wary of her. Then, I'll watch the changes from the sidelines … Klein thought seriously for a few seconds before replying to Emlyn's prayer in a deep but calm voice.
"In the future, when you pray to me or participate in the Gathering, you have to remove that ring."
After settling this matter, Klein returned to the real World. Without worrying about being woken up in the middle of the night, he slept all the way until dawn.
After having breakfast and resting for a while, he waited for his etiquette teacher, Wahana, to conduct special training for the ball that was to be held at home on the weekend.
Wahana's black hair was gently tied up as the corners of her skirt fluttered. She led Dawn Dantès from the opening dance to familiarize herself with the entire process.
Amidst the gentle and soothing music, the etiquette teacher suddenly said,
"I heard that Ma 'am Mary visited you yesterday afternoon?"
"Yes." Klein nodded calmly while sighing that there were no secrets in the area of interpersonal communication.
Wahana nodded slightly and fell silent for two seconds.
"I heard that Madam Mary pledged all her shares to the bank and loaned a large sum of money."
This is a warning to me to be careful and not fall for a possible scam … The help I previously provided not only allowed me to quickly enter Böklund Street's social circles, but there's also an endless stream of subsequent returns … However, Ma 'am Mary pledged her shares to secretly gather more shares … Klein listened in silence and revealed a warm smile.
"Thank you."
He paused, then added:
"I believe in the integrity of every friend, but in the business field, caution and carefulness are always the first rules.
"I've already asked Walter to hire an independent lawyer and accounting team. They will do a detailed and responsible investigation and come up with a plan that can protect my interests and avoid taxes.
"Before that, I won't make any decisions."
Wahana looked up at Dwayne Dantès' deep blue eyes and suddenly sighed with a smile.
She suddenly sighed and said with a chuckle, "You really are an intelligent person."
Klein originally wanted to say that she was being mature, but he suddenly recalled that Wahana's husband had been cheated of his cloth and had relied on his help to recover most of his losses. Such a response would easily make the other party connect the dots and make a comparison. It would be akin to mockery, so he changed his words in time and chuckled.
Hence, he changed his words in time and chuckled.
"It's hard to imagine you being cheated." Wahana lowered her head and said with a smile, "It's also because you've experienced so much that you can appreciate the different charms of different types of ladies?"
I can't let this rumor pass, right … Klein smiled in exasperation.
"Every flower is beautiful in its own way."
After familiarizing himself with the entire process and the corresponding dance, Klein sent Wahana off and brought his valet, Richardson, to Cherwood Borough's Coim Company with Ma 'am Mary's invitation.
