The East Sea Metropolis was a coastal city in the magical fantasy era. It was not as clean as the inland cities.
Most of the commoners here fished or farmed for a living. There were fishing boats coming and going all the time.
After William and his companions entered the city, they discovered that the streets were filled with dirty puddles. Rotten fish could be seen everywhere. The stench in the air was unbearable for the outsiders.
Although most of the roads in the city were paved with limestone, the cleanliness was far from perfect. As they walked, they would often step on some filth.
This was a city built near the sea. There were many ports along the coastline. Near the inland, there was an endless stretch of towering city walls.
But the city walls were far from the last line of defense.
The construction of the East Sea Metropolis started from the inside out. It was constantly expanding outwards.
In the center was a cliff that was hundreds of meters tall. The huge and magnificent castle on the cliff was the real core of the city.
The lower the terrain, the worse the environment.
If the low-lying areas on both sides of the cliff belonged to the commoners, then the castles were the residences of the rich and powerful. As for the magnificent castle on the top of the cliff, it was the heaven where the Gods lived …
This was the real neutral territory.
The Lord used his authority to the extreme. The trusted subordinates of the Lord also enjoyed a lot of authority.
The commoners in the territory were very free. There were not many laws restricting them.
But in the hearts of the commoners, the Lord was God. Everything that the Lord said was the truth.
At this moment.
When William and his companions entered the East Sea Metropolis.
Bernard, who was in the castle on the sea, was holding an extravagant and luxurious banquet.
The castle was a Gothic building. It gave people a feeling of ascension.
The interior of the building was extremely spacious and bright. If the walls were beautiful and artistic enough, it would give people a strange feeling of worship. It would also give people a feeling of spiritual collision and devotion.
In this banquet hall that was more than 500 square meters, there were only tens of people attending the banquet. But there were hundreds of beautiful servants serving them.
They were extremely beautiful young girls dressed in revealing clothes. They were either pouring tea on the side or dancing unsightly dances in the banquet hall.
Often, some rich and powerful people would suddenly grab a girl and bite her neck to suck her blood.
However, the other human girls turned a blind eye and continued to do what they were supposed to do.
Because people who were bitten wouldn't die, nor would they become vampires. They would just be weak due to lack of blood.
They were the blood slaves of these vampires.
The purpose of a blood thrall was to provide blood and service.
Getting bitten was no big deal.
If the struggle angered the vampires, it was possible that they would fall into a dead end.
As blood thralls, not only could the girls cultivate their fighting aura or magic to improve the delicious quality of their blood, they could also gain their freedom when they grew older.
Furthermore, these vampires would give them a large sum of money so that they could start their lives anew.
A handsome middle-aged man sat on the main seat of the banquet table. He had a ruddy complexion and looked no different from an ordinary person. He did not have the eye-catching characteristics of a low-level vampire.
He was Bernard, and he had a very polite look about him.
It could even be said that, other than when the vampires were hungry, most of the Blood Breeds present had sufficient etiquette and smiles.
A young girl walked to Bernard's side and whispered something into his ear.
Bernard stood up with a cup of wine in his hand and said with a loud laugh, "Some delicious demon hunters have come to the city. I heard that there are as many as six high-level demon hunters. I wonder which courteous gentleman wants to be the bait and capture them?"
"My Lord, why don't you leave this matter to me!"
"No, no, no." A vampire who was not far from Bernard stood up and refused. At the same time, he said with a face full of reminiscence, "It's best if you leave this matter to me. After all, the strength of six high-ranking Demon Hunters is definitely not too weak. Ever since that incident, I haven't tasted the taste of a high-ranking professional for a long time. Please give me a chance, my Lord. "
"Hmph." The first vampire who spoke glanced at him and saw that Bernard had no intention of refusing, so he could only sit down with a face full of resentment.
One had to know.
Even though the East Sea Metropolis was the territory of the vampires, and they had legions under them, they could not simply appear in the city. This was because humans were naturally afraid of them.
They could treat humans as food, servants, and slaves who worked hard for them. But if it was not necessary, they would not use their power to arrest the demon hunters for a groundless crime.
Because the East Sea Metropolis also had a Temple of Light.
The Temple Knights and pastors knew their identities.
But due to the problem of the Palace of Darkness, the Temple of Light would not directly expose their identities.
After all, to the Temple of Light, a group of public vampires was far more powerful than a group of hidden vampires who killed and caused trouble everywhere.
As long as the vampires did not provoke public anger, the Temple of Light could not be bothered with them for the time being.
After all, the Darkness Invasion was far more troublesome than the vampires.
…
After William entered the East Sea Metropolis, he did not wander aimlessly. Instead, he followed Diablo's memory and gradually arrived at the inner part of the city. Then, he found an abandoned castle.
It was obvious.
This was Diablo's hometown. Diablo's clansmen were one of Bernard's trusted subordinates. But it was certain that Diablo's clansmen were not vampires.
Alec was the intelligence chief of the City of Dawn. He had been sent to secretly gather information. After all, it was not easy to erase the traces of the massacre. He would more or less be able to find some clues.
And this mission was to help Diablo find the enemy, the enemy who had destroyed his clan.
Since the mission difficulty was A +, it should be an enemy of the same level as William. At least, it was definitely not an old fellow like Bernard.
But the five of them searched the abandoned castle for a long time, but they did not find any useful clues.
This made William a little worried.
He did not know if Alec could find any information about the mission.
But one thing was certain.
If they could not find out who Diablo's enemy was, then William could only target the vampires.
In that case, William could only turn his attention to the vampires. He wanted these insiders to tell him who was the mastermind behind this massacre.
But if William really did that, he would definitely anger Bernard, which would lead to a qualitative change in the mission.
But what William did not expect was that …
Before he had the intention to attack the other vampires …
The difficulty of this mission had already been indicated as S level.
"This is getting interesting. Did I use my identity as a demon hunter to attract your attention? Or did you want to kill us because we came directly to Diablo's hometown?" William frowned as he walked out of the castle. A bat was hanging on the treetop and looking at him.
William lifted his head and looked at the vampire.
Bang!
The ground beneath William's feet suddenly exploded, and he dashed towards the bat like a cannonball.
This vampire did not expect William to play his cards so erratically!
Usually, even if a demon hunter saw a bat, he would not suddenly attack. He would even go back and discuss countermeasures. He might even think that the bat was a scout sent by the vampire.
This was different from the knight novels!!!
But in the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint …
The vampire did not have the time to soar into the sky.
William stretched out his large hand to grab him.
The vampire in the form of a bat could not continue transforming, so he quickly transformed into his human form. Just as he was about to counterattack, William's left hand emitted lightning and grabbed the vampire's neck like a pincer. He forcefully restrained the vampire and flung him to the ground.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion, and a huge pit appeared on the ground.
Everyone who heard the sound rushed out of the ruined castle.
They saw a vampire with fangs who had just gotten up. But he was trampled on by William, who was descending from the sky.
In the next moment.
William sneered and grabbed the vampire's arm. He smashed him to the ground!
Pom, pom, pom, pom, pom …
When he was smashed to the point that he no longer looked like a human, William stepped on his head, wishing he could stomp him into the ground. He asked in a cold voice, "Tell me, was this castle conquered by the vampire?"
"Who … who are you?" This vampire was the one who had decided to be the bait during the banquet.
He had wanted to call for reinforcements. This ruined castle was a good place to surround and kill the demon hunters!
But William was too decisive!
He did not give the vampire any chance.
He was dumbfounded by William's attack …
"I'm asking you a question, not asking me. Do you understand?" William narrowed his eyes and stomped on the vampire's head again. He almost crushed the vampire's skull.
Both of them were Advanced professionals.
This vampire had the bloodline potential of a Grandmaster, but his combat power was far inferior to William's.
The vampire was not convinced. He struggled to stand up. He had never been humiliated like this before. "Let go of me. I'll send you out of the castle. Otherwise, you'll die."
"Oh, do you mean that I'll be afraid of Bernard or you vampires? I just want you to tell me who killed all the residents of this castle." William stomped on the vampire again.
But at this moment.
The vampire suddenly transformed into a small bat and was about to fly away.
But there were so many BOSSES in front of him. How could he escape?
Diablo could not stand it anymore. He gently clenched his fist, and several metal needles shot out from the ground. They pierced through the bat's body and stopped him in mid-air.
The vampire transformed back into his human form. His entire body was pierced by the metal needles. Even his anus was pierced by a needle …
Just as he was about to scream in pain.
William slapped him hard in the face. That slap caused a large chunk of flesh to fall off his face.
William did not care about the vampire's bloody appearance. He grabbed the vampire's hair and lifted his head. William looked into the vampire's eyes and said, "Tell me the truth, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll show you what cruelty is."
Cruelty?
What could be crueler than the Blood Race?
The vampire wanted to retort.
But William's next words made his heart turn cold!
"Do you know what it means to have a vampire's BQ? I have a group of strong men under me. Believe it or not, they'll destroy you!"
"Speak, I'll speak." The vampire was dumbfounded. Wasn't William targeting the Elves? Now, he was targeting the Blood Race.
Could you be a little more humane?
We are vampires. Give me some face!
