During its most prosperous period, Assequero had a population of more than five hundred thousand. There were more than a hundred High Elf clans living in Assequero.
The Enya clan and the Julias clan were the two most knowledgeable clans among the High Elves. The Julias clan was the basic supervisor of Assequero. Each of them possessed the most powerful magically-guided machinery technology in Assequero.
The leaders of the High Elves' clans would abandon their original names and inherit the clan's name as their own.
Before Elder Enya became the clan leader, the man in front of her was already the leader of the Julias clan.
"I thought you had already been devoured by those monsters."
Elder Enya reunited with an old friend, but she did not feel any joy. Time seemed to have worn away Elder Enya's excitement.
"They did indeed devour me."
Scarlet blood appeared in the Blood Duke's hand. The blood formed a ball in his hand and instantly disappeared.
"You accepted that monster's power … and then abandoned your faith in the Holy Tree?"
Elder Enya looked at the new power he had obtained and instantly understood how the Blood Duke had survived after being away from the World Tree for so many years.
"When I was young, I could not resist the temptation of that monster," the Blood Duke said.
"You … what did you do before the disaster in Assequero …?"
Elder En Ya began to suspect that there was more to the calamity that had befallen Aszekro just by listening to his words.
"You don't want to hear it … Enya."
"Assequero was not destroyed. Since you are still alive, why didn't you return home? Yet … you stayed in the territory of your enemy for so long. "
Elder Enya glanced at the surroundings of the Demon Realm. She had felt a familiar aura from the moment she stepped into the Demon Realm, but she could not understand what it was.
"Do you still view those humans as your enemies?"
When the Blood Duke heard the word "return home", a look of disappointment flashed across his face, but it did not last long.
He could also hear the resentment in Elder Enya's voice.
"Have you forgotten the cause of the Assequero disaster?" Elder En Ya said loudly to the Blood Duke.
"Even if I die, I will never forget the sight of Assequero being burned to ashes. My people were turned into monsters made of flesh and blood. I will never forget that scene."
"Then why are you still here!"
The Demon Realm was the territory of those blasphemers, and the Blood Duke had even become one of their subordinates.
"Because I must guard this final line of defense!"
The moment the Blood Duke was questioned by Elder En Ya, a dangerous glint appeared in his scarlet eyes as he stared at Elder En Ya.
At this moment, Elder En Ya felt like she was being stared at by a wild beast. She resisted the urge to retreat.
"In the face of the existence of this world, the hatred between two races … is not even worth mentioning! Enya, this is the mission of our race. "
The Blood Duke clasped his hand over his cheek as he hurriedly left the command hall. There was a horse-drawn carriage waiting for him outside the command hall, and the Blood Duke's carriage was already waiting for him.
Elder En Ya could only watch as the thin figure boarded the carriage.
The final line of defense?
Elder En Ya raised her head and looked at the two moons hanging high in the sky in confusion.
The duty of the high elves was to protect the World Tree, but when Elder En Ya gradually understood the truth of this world, she realized that the ones who were truly qualified to be called "World Tree Protectors" were not … them.
… …
"Father!"
Pester had been sitting in the carriage waiting for the Blood Duke's return. When she saw the Blood Duke's slightly twisted face, she immediately handed him a glass bottle filled with scarlet liquid.
The Blood Duke bit the glass bottle and swallowed the liquid inside. After drinking the scarlet liquid, the twisted expression on his face gradually improved.
"Father … Who are those elves?"
Seeing that the Blood Duke had returned to normal, Pester opened the curtains of the carriage and looked at the elves standing at the entrance of the command hall.
"Just a bunch of strangers."
The Blood Duke leaned against the seat of the carriage tiredly.
"Return to our territory, Pester." After giving this order, the Blood Duke chose to close his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The carriage drove directly into the Sinful Fiend Teleportation Gate outside the Command Hall. After passing through the Teleportation Gate, a magnificent castle appeared.
This was the territory of the blood kindred … It could not be called a city, only a small town.
"Pester, gather all the kindred who use the Weave."
The Blood Duke did not forget Josiah's reminder. He left the carriage and walked towards the main hall where the castle usually had its meals.
Pester nodded and transformed into a bat, flying into the night.
The Blood Duke quietly waited on the throne in the main hall for more than two hours. A large number of bats flew into the hall and transformed into human forms.
The continuation of the blood kindred did not need to rely on reproduction … Any weak intelligent creature could become a member of the blood kindred, completely obeying the Blood Duke's command.
However, the Blood Duke was very restrained. He had to maintain the absolute unity and obedience of the entire race …
"Father, the kin you gave the leaves of the World Tree have all arrived."
Pester walked out of the crowd and said to the Blood Duke.
Twenty-three kindred stood in the main hall. They all had professions in Demon Realm King City, such as the watchers under Cersei's command.
They were also the Blood Duke's trusted aides, which was why the Blood Duke had given the leaves of the World Tree to them so that they could obtain information about Noland.
"I've gathered all of you because I have a question."
The Blood Duke's scarlet eyes glanced at his subordinates.
"Who among you plays the game Holy Spirit?"
Silence. No one answered the Blood Duke. This scene made him feel both gratified and disappointed.
He was gratified because his thoughts were right. None of the kindred he had carefully chosen would waste time in the virtual world.
He was disappointed because the third prince was too stubborn! He did not know how to use Fuya's outstanding talent, but allowed her to play games!
"Father … Are you going to punish me?"
Pester's voice broke the silence in the hall. This was also why the kindred in the hall did not dare to answer for a while.
The Blood Duke was very strict with his kindred, sometimes even stricter than Her Highness Cersei.
They knew very well that the Blood Duke had given them the authority to use the Weave to gather information about the human world, as well as understand the movements of the human world.
In the future, when they went to the human world to carry out missions, they would minimize the frequency of mission failures.
The kindred treated the Weave as a powerful 'weapon'. If the Blood Duke found out that they had used it as a barbecue rack, he would probably sentence them to death in the next second.
"I'm not punishing you. I just want to know the answer."
The Blood Duke's words gave the vampires below courage.
"Duke … I've played a few games."
Finally, someone raised his hand and said.
"I'm also a duke. My current ranking is 2,100."
Another Blood Breed raised his hand as well. When he heard that there were other people around him who had played Holy Spirit before, he proudly announced his ranking in the Stairway Ranking.
"Duke! My current level is 3,700 points! "
