When Grimm stepped out of the black carriage, the banquet in the Rose Manor had already started.
Since he was in a hurry, Grimm didn't have time to make any arrangements. He could only rent a carriage from a nearby city and rush to the Rose Manor.
Grimm didn't wear his eye-catching sorcerer robe. He had changed into a wig, a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles, and a black double-breasted suit. Coupled with his black hair and black eyes, he looked cultured and refined, but also had a hint of nobility and arrogance that ordinary people couldn't detect.
Everything happened too suddenly!
Grimm had already told Mary not to get too close to Lester and that she only needed to gather some simple information about him from the outside. But obviously, Mary didn't follow his instructions.
The existence of the bloodline shackles had caused Mary to be stuck at the level of a Tier-1 elite for too long. Grimm's successful advancement to Tier-2 had greatly stimulated the competitive female vampire.
Although the two of them were already an intimate couple in the open and in the dark, Mary's desire to be strong was still etched in her bones. Therefore, she had an extraordinary passion and motivation to hunt Lester.
But unfortunately, just as Grimm's hunting plan was being carried out in an orderly manner, a terrifying piece of news came back.
Lester had also advanced to Tier-2 and became a terrifying Vampire Count.
This … was obviously far beyond the scope of the original hunting plan!
If a Tier-2 Vampire went on a killing spree, it wouldn't take more than a month for him to create a slave army purely made up of Blood Thralls and Spawns. If a vampire family went all out, they could turn the entire central continent into a world of vampires in half a year.
Unfortunately, under the supervision of the scattered Taryn Wizard Association, no vampire family dared to do something so crazy. If they only produced descendants or Blood Thralls in their own territories, no sorcerer would interfere. However, if they extended their tentacles into someone else's territory, they would be attacked by all sorcerers.
Moreover, vampires lived by sucking the blood of intelligent beings. If they turned all the people in their territory into blood thralls or derivatives, then they would fall into an awkward situation where they had nothing to eat.
Under the control of these two reasons, all the vampire families living in the Sorcerer World lived extremely disciplined lives and strictly controlled the number of blood thralls and spawns in their territories. Because of this, the lives of the people in their territory were almost the same as in other places. That was why there were no mass exodus due to fear of the Vampire Overlord.
However, the vampires' dormancy did not mean that they were weak!
If a comprehensive evaluation could be carried out, then Vampire Sorcerers would even occupy a position in the upper middle among all Sorcerers of the same rank.
They might not be the strongest, the fastest, or the strongest in defense, but … they were the most cunning!
All vampires have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Its advantage was that it could run fast, transform into a bat, and was good at hiding. Its biggest advantage was that it could suck blood and recover quickly.
As for its weakness, it was publicly acknowledged that its attack power was on the weak side.
When facing opponents of the same rank, vampires' attack power was generally on the weak side. They could only rely on sucking blood to slowly wear down the opponent's attack power and defensive spells.
Because Mary knew how difficult it was to deal with a rank 2 vampire, she was driven by her restless vampire instincts and tried to sneak up on Lester. Unsurprisingly, her movements were detected by the other party!
After a five-day chase and killing, Mary, who was affected by her bloodline instincts, could not even use her abilities and was captured alive by Lester. After checking Mary's bloodline, Lester could not help but be shocked.
To put it bluntly, this descendant of a mysterious bloodline that came out of nowhere had a shocking level of development in her bloodline. To put it bluntly, this level of development had already surpassed Lester before he had leveled up.
In other words, this foreign blood lady who was captured and defeated had a shockingly high success rate in leveling up to rank 2.
The main reason why she had not leveled up was because of the bloodline shackles. Now that Lester had leveled up to rank 2, the upper limit of the bloodline shackles had loosened. This mysterious blood lady only needed to adjust for a period of time before she could consider leveling up.
Bloodline backlash was terrifying, but as a vampire family, they had many ways to control this kind of non-pure-blooded foreign descendant.
That was why Lester did not want to waste Mary, who was an excellent blood subordinate, so he did not execute her on the spot. Instead, he brought her to the Rose Manor and planned to bring her back to the Ancient Blood Castle after he was done with the matters here.
Time was of the essence and Grim didn't have the time to slowly plan. Therefore, after receiving the news, he could only rush to the Rose Manor.
Grimm's arrival immediately caught the attention of the servants waiting at the entrance.
Truth be told, Grimm's attire was not that luxurious, and the four-wheeled carriage he rode in was inconspicuous among the many luxurious carriages. It even seemed a little shabby.
However, when Grimm stood proudly in front of the manor's entrance with his hands stroking the buttons on his chest, the domineering aura that assaulted the faces of the servants immediately made them realize that an important person had arrived.
Although Grimm had tried his best to restrain his mental pressure, his words, actions, and even the tips of his brows still exuded a domineering aura that could not be concealed by his attire.
"Sir, may I know who you are?" The head servant who received guests at the entrance was also a blood thrall of the Vic family. His status was almost equivalent to that of a mid-level noble. In a normal sorcerer family, he would be considered a wizard apprentice.
"Grimm!" Grimm did not say much and simply gave his name.
It was a lonely name without even a family title. Not only did the chief attendant in charge of reception not show any contempt, he even became more cautious and respectful.
This was the Sorcerer Continent, and sorcerers had always been respected.
Most of the sorcerers who had fought their way to the top only had a personal name and no family name. This was a stark contrast to the sorcerers raised by sorcerer families, but no one dared to look down on them.
This visitor did not look like an ordinary person. He did not have a family name, so the experienced head servant immediately realized that he was a sorcerer who had hidden his identity.
In the entire Sorcerer Continent, any manor or castle would welcome a sorcerer who came to visit!
Therefore, under the loud announcement, Grim passed through the tall and spacious door and entered the banquet hall.
Since the band was playing cheerful and relaxing music, and many young noble men and women were competing with each other on the dance floor, Grimm's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.
Only the head servant waved his hand to summon a servant and whispered a few words into his ear. The servant then hurried to the main building of the manor.
… …
Ever since he came to this mysterious Sorcerer World, Grimm had participated in all kinds of banquets. However, those banquets were organized by acolytes, and those were banquets organized by sorcerers.
The invited guests were very simple, and their purpose was also very simple. The format of the banquet was also very simple, even a little boring.
However, there were countless handsome men and beautiful women in bright clothes chasing each other and laughing to their heart's content in front of them, which had never happened before. Perhaps this was the lifestyle of those sorcerers who had given up on the path of sorcery and indulged in worldly power.
Although they were both banquets, there was a clear distinction between the inner and outer area.
The inner area was the banquet hall on the first floor of the three-story building in the center of the manor. Most of the people who could attend the banquet were nobles and wealthy merchants from major cities. Of course, there were also many well-chosen ladies and beautiful young girls.
As for the lower and middle nobles, they could only gather around the lawn near the main building, the parlor, the botanical garden, and the boulevard. Here, they could also meet many "big shots" who had sneaked out from the main hall. Therefore, wherever Grimm went, the liveliness was no less than the main hall.
Although Grimm was not a body refinement sorcerer, he did not have monstrous muscles that were as hard as iron. However, he was two meters tall, which gave him a well-proportioned body that was almost perfect. In addition, he was wearing an exquisite tailored suit, which added a hint of gentleness and elegance to his temperament.
Along the way, he did not have to deliberately seduce anyone. Countless beautiful ladies were already casting coquettish glances at him. Some bold and unrestrained women even stopped him and passionately interacted with him with lustful expressions.
Although these vulgar ladies did not have the eyesight to see through Grimm's identity, they could naturally chase after the aura of a strong person. Even though Grimm had restrained his overflowing spiritual force, his surging life force was like a huge magnetic field that naturally attracted these women.
Grimm's gaze swept over them and he knew what was going on.
Half of the women gathered around him were blood thralls of the Vic family. They surrounded high-grade vampires every day and served them attentively, selling their youth and bodies to gain their favor.
Individuals with strong vitality like Grim were the best targets for them to hunt. Once they seduced their prey into their bed, they would secretly absorb their life force while having sex. This was the only way for them to accumulate strength and become stronger.
Once they broke through the threshold and successfully became a baron, which was equivalent to a quasi-wizard, they would be able to get rid of their status as blood thralls and officially become members of the Vic family.
Therefore, when they saw such a fresh and delicious' prey 'in the banquet hall, almost half of the female blood thralls in the periphery of the Vic family were attracted to him. They gathered around Grimm to flirt and show off their flirtatious ways.
Of course, this was also because Grimm had concealed his identity as a grade 2 sorcerer.
