Red.
The color of blood.
He shook his head and felt dizzy.
'Where am I?'
Pain shot through his chest and abdomen!
He moaned in panic and opened his eyes in a daze. There was still only blood in front of him.
"Qiren, hold on a little longer! The ambulance is almost here. "At this moment, a gentle and familiar voice rang in his ears.
He calmed down for a moment.
But the next moment, the pain in his chest and the dizziness in his head became more intense.
"Wu Qiren!" The voice became more panicked. "You can't die here! You … Right, you haven't changed the world! How can you die in a place like this?! You haven't even changed the world, how are you qualified to have children with me?! "
'Change the world? Have children? '
His mind cleared up for a moment, and he took a deep breath, feeling much better.
Amidst the blood, he endured the pain and forced a smile.
"Chuunibyou is an illness that needs to be cured."
The familiar voice seemed to be crying tears of joy.
He smiled amidst the pain and wanted to stop the voice and play a joke on her as usual.
However, he opened his mouth in a daze.
He realized that he could not call out her name.
His vision was still blood red, but his body was getting hotter and hotter.
* Thud! *
Thales fell on a patch of grass.
He opened his eyes and completely woke up from the blood.
"Damn it! What's going on?! "Beside him, the pale blond man cursed in shock and anger.
"How did he consume so much blood?" His tone was full of surprise and dissatisfaction.
Only Thales knew that when the golden-haired man turned into a puddle of blood and brought him away at high speed, Thales found a piece of memory fragment. In the fragment's dream, the boy seemed to have 'lost control' again.
This time, the thing that shifted seemed to be a part of the blond man's blood.
Thales looked like he had just come down from a roller coaster. He lay on the ground and coughed.
'Fortunately, I've experienced motion sickness … Err, I mean, "person" sickness before at Yodel's place,' he thought.
He thought, shaking his head to clear his mind of the disturbing crimson.
"We're almost there. Are your injuries not healed yet? I'm not even familiar with the Blood Shadow Dance anymore, "the handsome blonde man muttered and roughly grabbed Thales.
It was already dusk. Had the sun really set?
It's a little cold. Is this an outdoor place?
It was only then that Thales could see clearly that they had landed on a patch of grass beside a dark path. In front of them was a wide manor and a large garden attached to it.
There was also a flag fluttering over the iron gate between the garden and the path, but overall the house seemed to be overgrown with weeds, as if the proprietors were not taking care of it.
If it was not for the fact that it was not as exquisite, it would be comparable to Mindis Hall.
'That flag …' Thales narrowed his eyes and saw a strange flower with three petals. It was red, blue, and green.
Thales recognized the flower. It was the favorite flower of Wu Qiren's first girlfriend.
Is this the Iris Flower?
The coat of arms of a noble?
'Perhaps this is one of the' enemies' that Gilbert mentioned. '
Oh no, I've fallen right into the enemy's lair.
"Let's go! Mortal brat! "The blond handsome man impatiently pushed him towards the manor.
Thales' brain began to work and make wild deductions.
'Looks like this blonde pretty boy knows how to talk. He's not a beast that's hard to tame.
Also, judging from the words he left behind when he kidnapped me,
"I was just going to exercise my muscles …"
"Thank goodness the sun is about to set …"
'Thank goodness he's a rational person.' Thales thought of a countermeasure. JC's dagger was sheathed at his waist, but he obviously could not expect to place the dagger on his neck or anything like that.
He also could not suddenly cut himself and send a message to Yodel and Gilbert. It would be too obvious and deliberate.
'Then I can only gather information first.'
"Hey hey!" Thales turned around and shook off the blond man's hand in dissatisfaction. "Look at your noble demeanor and temperament. Shouldn't your words be in line with your words? Pay attention to your manners! "
The blond man stopped in his tracks upon hearing those words.
"Manners? Demeanor? " He grinned and deliberately revealed two pairs of ferocious fangs. "Why should I be polite to food that is destined to enter my stomach?"
The blond man purposely ground his sharp fangs in the air.
'As expected, it's very similar to the creature in my memory.'
However, Thales only tilted his head and observed the two fangs. He then curled his lips in disdain and said, "Your attitude towards food is so terrible. It's obvious that you don't have the talent of a gourmet. Your mental state and physical condition will affect the quality of the food. What if your crude method affects the taste of the ingredients?"
The handsome blond man was stunned for three seconds.
The ferocious expression on his face was only halfway done.
But he immediately reacted.
"With your height, you're considered very courageous, mortal brat." He then chuckled. "But you're not the first food with guts. If you don't try your luck, you won't be able to escape."
"So, my flesh is really delicious?" Thales showed an expression that said "I see". Then, unexpectedly, he raised his leg and walked towards the manor.
The man was just about to carry the cub to the manor when he saw the cub walking in front of him.
Facing the food that seemed to have no intention of escaping (he even disdained to call it "prey"), the puzzled blond man wanted to reach out and scratch his head. Halfway through, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he could only put his hand down and quickly followed Thales at a speed that humans could see.
"Not flesh, just blood. You should have been injured recently, right? The smell of blood wafts everywhere. Tsk tsk, it smells so good. I really want to take a bite first. "
The two continued to walk forward.
"Then how are you going to eat me? Bite raw or suck my blood directly? Where do you start? What about the seasoning? "
"The Tuval family likes to bite raw. They enjoy the howling of their prey. We usually suck blood directly. There are two types: neck feeding and wrist feeding. As for seasoning … wait, why am I telling you this! Mortal brat! "
The blond man stopped and looked suspiciously at Thales, whose words and actions were obviously not like a seven-year-old child.
"I'm destined to be food, right? Isn't it a virtue to be polite to food that is voluntarily sacrificed? Besides, food that is in a good mood, maybe the taste of blood will be better. "
"You … as food, you're really weird. Don't tell me that you think you can make me let you go like this?"
"It's a rare delicacy. Of course it's rare in the world. Come come come, don't stop, let's keep walking. May I know your name, sir? "
"Little brat, why are you asking this? Do you want revenge? " The blond man stopped again. His suspicions and vigilance towards the strange boy in front of him grew.
"With your skills, it won't be easy to find you for revenge. Also, since you're going to eat me, you should at least let me know your name, right? Don't you think it's rude to call me 'hey hey hey'? You're not an illegitimate child without a surname, are you? You should at least have a name? "
The blond man's pride seemed to be hurt by the last sentence.
He replied proudly, "My name is Istrone van Leka Liszt Corleone, head of the Seven Branches of the Night Kingdom, first-class Blood Descendant Knight of the Corleone Family."
"Come come come, let's keep walking. So why do you call me a mortal?"
"A human with a lifespan of less than a hundred and twenty years is not a mortal? Even a young brat like you has at most ninety years left to live, "Istrone said scornfully.
"So you're, uh, a 'mortal'? Much longer than us? "
"Of course, the lifespan of the Blood Clan is endless. How can a lowly mortal imagine it?"
Thales quietly absorbed all the information into his mind.
Istrone Corleone
Long-lived species, short-lived species.
Night Kingdom, Corleone Family.
'The superior Blood Clan.
'And the most important thing is that he doesn't seem to be interested in why I'm in Mindis Hall.
'This might be my only way out. Oh, I almost forgot, he's planning to' eat 'me.'
Thales and Istrone walked into the manor. The boy narrowed his eyes. Two fierce-looking men wearing red headscarves walked towards them from the entrance.
'Blood Bottle Gang? Why are they here? '
"Say, why did you stop here? Can't you just fly in? "
"If it wasn't for the Blood Shadow Dance … Ahem …"
The handsome young man Istrone suddenly realized that the mortal cub beside him could understand his words. He cleared his throat in a rather gentlemanly manner and continued to speak indifferently.
"Hmph. If it wasn't for the fact that this is not our territory, I would have flown in as well. But we are guests after all. Naturally, we need to maintain respect and politeness towards the host. "
'A mortal who values manners,' Thales thought to himself.
Two members of the Blood Bottle Gang walked forward and looked at the two people, one big and one small, with unfriendly expressions. "Who are you —"
But Istrone furrowed his brows and his face turned cold. He interrupted them in disdain.
"Get lost, inferior mortal!"
Thales' face twitched. He decided to take back his words.
A few minutes ago.
After they suffered a crushing defeat in the 'One Night War', Nikolay the Red Viper, who was one of the few people in the Blood Bottle Gang who managed to rush back to the capital city day and night, was one of the leaders of the Blood Bottle Gang. He was the leader of the eight great Psionic Warriors. He spent the entire day after the war in anxiety.
At the very least, before the other three Psionic Warriors and the Blood Mystic, who had gone into hiding for a long time, rushed back to the capital city, he had to hold the fort.
First, he had to deal with the aftermath of the 'One Night War'.
Other than a grand explosion, the Air Mystic had disappeared without a trace. His personal bodyguard, the lunatic with the sword, was lying together with Ralf. His upper body was almost cut open. That was why Nikolay had to confirm whether the Brotherhood's Three Great Assassins, especially Black Sword himself, were in the capital city before he could travel with peace of mind. In truth, Tinker, who had escaped from Red Street Market, had always felt that he was overthinking things. Even if Black Sword was in the capital city, he would most likely not take a liking to him.
Tinker and Numeno were one of the few Blood Bottle Gang's Strongest Twelve who had escaped ("Motherf * cker. As expected, only cowards survive to the end.") They did not speak in detail about what happened in Red Street Market. Other than fear, there was panic. Nikolay immediately gave up on trying to find out the truth. As for the Air Mystic's revenge, he would wait for the Blood Mystic to return before deciding.
After losing Red Street Market, which they had been operating for a long time, the Blood Bottle Gang's morale suffered a great blow. Many of the ordinary gang members began to waver. Customers, whether they were nobles, merchants, or secret companions, all expressed that their 'deep friendship with the Blood Bottle Gang would never waver'. At the same time, they greatly reduced their business dealings and even withdrew their funds. There were even some who reneged on their contracts halfway through. ("F * ck him. Calm down. You must calm down. The debt of blood will be repaid!")
In the other districts of the capital city, the Blood Bottle Gang's morale was low. In the face of the Brotherhood's' lower-class people ', they retreated step by step. One could imagine that when the news spread to the whole country, the struggle between the various branches would show the same appearance.
Secondly, one of the main supporters behind the Blood Bottle Gang, the Covendier Family, who had the Tricolor Iris Flower as their family emblem, was indifferent even after knowing that they had suffered a crushing defeat. They did not send reinforcements or comfort them. They did not even see a single copper coin to comfort them. What Nikolay hated the most was that even though they had done so much dirty work for him in the whole country, at the critical moment, that Knight of Eradication called Seychelles did not even let him enter the duke's manor! Even so, at noon, he gave Nikolay a mission to 'investigate the theft case in Mindis Hall'. Theft case? Damn it. Which part of his body looked like a police officer and a private detective? Was it not enough for him to cut it off?
Speaking of police officers, Nikolay could not restrain his anger. Damn it. That big cop from the Western District Police Station, whose name is Lorbec or Lockerbie, usually looks all smiles. During the critical moment of the one-night battle, he did not send reinforcements. What happened to the promised 'cooperation between the police and the people'? Forget it. Nikolay suppressed his displeasure. When he asked for a few corpses, he even used all sorts of excuses. The funniest thing was that he actually pretended to be an emissary of justice. After receiving so much from them, he now came to uphold justice? What were you doing earlier? Talking about justice in front of Nikolay? Which part of his body looked like a good person? Was it not enough for him to cut it off? Damn it. If it was in the past, Nikolay would have dared to go to his house tonight, strip his wife, and hang her on the Western District Gate to be used as a doorbell!
Also, Nikolay was going to solve this matter now. The three vampires from the Covendier Family were actually thrown by the Tricolor Iris Flower at the Eastern District branch of the Blood Bottle Gang (actually, Vine Manor was also the Covendier Family's property) to 'properly entertain' them? Did you think that they were entertaining lost puppies? They needed the blood of ten people a day! And they even asked for supra class experts and above! Alright, I might as well find Black Sword, knock him out with a club, tie him up, and send him over! I have already sent over many of the Blood Bottle Gang members that I usually find unpleasant to my eyes, but I still feel that it is not enough. I have to lower my voice and beg that big cop for corpses! Which part of his body looked like an animal breeder? Was it not enough for him to cut it off? The most annoying thing was that the group of vampires did not have many people. They had a bad temper and were bossy. They looked at Nikolay as if he was a puppy!
With such a bad mood, Nikolay brought his entourage and walked into Vine Manor at night. He waved at the Blood Bottle Gang members, who also had a bad expression, as a greeting.
He walked into the stone staircase of the manor's main building. The faint cries and screams that came from underground made Red Viper's already terrible mood even more agitated.
Nikolay forced himself not to think about the 'blood food' in the dungeon, especially since many of them were his former colleagues and subordinates. His face was ashen as he walked to the second floor. He pushed open the wooden door of the main hall and looked at the few people in front of him with a displeased expression. To be exact, he was looking at two people and their food.
A beautiful, fair-skinned woman with a red ponytail, sexy and seductive. She was dressed in a noble's riding attire. She gently pushed away a man with a dazed look.
The seductive woman licked the bloodstain at the corner of her mouth and flashed a charming smile at Nikolay. She then extended her index finger and wiped away the bloodstain that flowed from the corner of her mouth to her chin.
The man who was pushed away seemed to be a commoner who had been kidnapped. At that moment, his eyes were dazed and his skin was deathly pale. He fell to the ground and twitched. His breathing became weaker and weaker. It seemed that he was not going to live.
There were at least seven or eight corpses in the hall that had died from excessive blood loss. Dried blood was everywhere.
Fresh blood dripped on the floor and on the table. It was incomparably terrifying.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the hall, there was a white-haired old man who was similarly dressed. He had his hands behind his back and seemed to be waiting for the moon to rise.
"Aiyaya," a gentle voice came from the woman's mouth. Her eyes lit up. "Have you sent us delicious food? Are there twenty people? Are there supra classes? Are there virgins? Are there young ones? "
These damned vampires!
Did they go out to hunt for living people again?
"Miss Rolana! Mister Chris! I was just about to tell you, "Nikolay endured the displeasure and disgust in his heart and said to the two Blood Breeds with dissatisfaction," The twenty corpses that were sent this afternoon was already the limit. Our blood bank does not have that many! "
When he mentioned the 'blood bank', he remembered the wailing in the dungeon. Even Nikolay could not help but feel disgusted.
"Oh?" The seductive Rolana giggled. As the corners of her mouth curled up, a dangerous gaze gradually appeared in her eyes. "Can the blood of those corpses be eaten? What we need is the blood of living people. "
"Otherwise, when I see the people of your Blood Bottle Gang coming and going, I can't help it …" Rolana revealed the fangs under her lips and struck a charming pose. Her index finger gently touched the fangs. Under the illumination of the Everlasting Lamp, coupled with the bloody background, there was a strange and ferocious beauty.
Nikolay suppressed his anger and lowered his head as he said softly, "My three honored guests, please understand. Eternal Star City is the capital after all. Our ability is limited …"
"Aiyaya, but that is not what the young and cute Duke of Iris Flowers said. We can have as many people and blood as we want! If he knew that his loyal dog treated his guests like this, would he not give you bones to eat? Haha … "
'Loyal dog?
Bones?
Damn it! '
Listening to the strange humiliation and condescending sarcasm, then thinking of the Duke of Iris Flowers' attitude after losing the Battle of Red Street Market, as well as the anger he suffered for the day, Nikolay only felt a fire burning in his heart.
"Damn bitch … there are no living people!"
Nikolay did not care about the bloodstains on the table. He fiercely slammed his palm on the table and roared uncontrollably.
"Don't think that I don't know! You vampires only need the blood of the dead to live! You don't need the blood of the living at all! It is not like five hundred years ago anymore! "
"I have risked my life to send so many living people and corpses here. There is even a supra class among them! And I have not f * cking messaged enough! "
"If you want to eat, eat. If you don't, get lost! I'm not that easily intimidated! At most, we will just split up! We will pull out our men and fight! "
"We are Constellation's Blood Bottle Gang, the 'blood debt must be paid' gang! We are not some Covendier who 'died for his friends' gang! "
There was silence.
Only the Red Viper's angry panting could be heard in the hall.
Even the followers behind Nikolay were so frightened that they took a step back.
In the next moment, Rolana's expression changed. She bared her fangs and her expression became ferocious. Her originally seductive voice that sounded like she was acting coquettishly became fierce and wild.
"Lowly mortal! For the sake of your master, I'm being courteous! "
"The blood of corpses? You can survive by drinking water, eating vegetables, and eating rotten meat every day. Why do you still eat meat and drink wine? "
"'Risking my life'? That half-dead supra class in the prison is just you abusing your position to avenge a personal grudge. You want us to help you solve your internal affairs! "
"Talking to the Corleone family about 'blood debt must be paid'? I can immediately let you taste the 'blood debt'! "
The anger in Nikolay's eyes burned even more fiercely. He gritted his teeth and abruptly pulled open his scarlet coat. The ferocious Rolana shouted and instantly jumped onto the chandelier above her head. She bared her fangs and brandished her claws like a feline!
At the critical moment when both sides were ready to fight, the old man who had been looking out the window finally turned around.
"Rolana, pay attention to your manners."
"Mister Nikolay, there is no need to be like this. If we fall out, the one who will be embarrassed is Duke Zayen."
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone in the hall.
Chris Corleone, the white-haired old man, suddenly appeared in front of Nikolay.
Before the leader of the Blood Bottle Gang could react, the white-haired Chris nonchalantly stretched out his hand and patted the Red Viper's shoulder.
This move suppressed the Red Viper's anger.
Rolana landed on the ground and returned to the image of a seductive young married woman. She laughed softly, but her eyes were still fierce.
"Sorry, they are still young and do not know how to control themselves." Chris's gaze was obscure. His wrinkled face was filled with darkness and silence.
'Young? Nikolay cursed in his heart. 'How can a monster who does not know that he is hundreds of years old say that he is young?'
But he still suppressed the anger in his heart.
The situation was unforgiving.
Although the old monster in front of him looked sickly, the move he had just shown … With his abilities, he did not have full confidence that he could deal with him.
"How about this? Everyone has worked hard these few days. We will settle the food ourselves."
His tone was lifeless, and Chris's gaze was like a dead man's.
Settle it ourselves? According to the personality of this group of vampires, going out to hunt for food would cause trouble sooner or later! 'But isn't that exactly what I want?'
"Let's go!" Nikolay waved his hand indignantly and said, "Withdraw all our brothers!"
"Oh? Not a single person is staying? I still want to apologize. "Rolana seductively laid on the blood-red dining table and returned to her coquettish tone.
"No need!" Nikolay turned his head and said fiercely, "Lest Miss Rolana 'cannot hold back' anymore!"
The Blood Bottle Gang's thugs followed behind Nikolay and stepped down the stone stairs. No one felt sorry for leaving this disgusting manor.
For a moment, only Rolana's strange laughter and the sound of blood dripping could be heard in the hall.
Nikolay walked far away.
Rolana suddenly fell from the table. Her face was full of frost and sternness.
"Did he discover something?"
Chris shook his dead man's head. From afar, it looked like a white chess piece swaying. "This guy did not. But Covendier definitely felt that something was amiss. After all, such a large amount of blood is enough to feed a Blood Descendant Knight. "
Rolana lowered her head. "But it is still far from enough. Just now, I wasted another one to put on an act. I will go hunt again later."
"Fortunately, we have chased away the Blood Bottle Gang as planned. This can buy us some time before we are exposed. "
Chris's head suddenly turned a hundred degrees to the back of the window. His nose twitched.
"Istrone is back."
"He also brought … Ah, this smell is really fragrant. It is a blood source of superior quality and above."
His figure reappeared in front of the window.
The moon was out.
—
Nikolay led the Blood Bottle Gang members out of the manor angrily.
'These damned vampires … Hmm? That pretty boy vampire is back. 'Didn't he go to Mindis Hall with the mercenaries in the afternoon to look for the secret treasure?
'So, they also know how to walk and go through the main entrance?'
Nikolay thought that the Blood Clan's method of traveling was the same as what he saw before. They would turn into a pool of blood and then 'whiz' around.
'That pretty boy also brought a little one with him? Damn it, did he also go hunting? Looking at his attire, he looked like a child from a noble family, but his body was covered in injuries — no, that child didn't look like he was being held hostage. Judging from their pace, it seemed like they were in cahoots.
'That's right, I have to ask about the theft at Mindis Hall.'
While Nikolay was still thinking, Istrone and Thales walked side by side into the manor.
The prince saw the group of Blood Bottle Gang members walking out from afar.
Thinking about the Iris Flower flag above his head, Thales knew that things were not going well.
But he also knew that he had to remain calm at this moment in order to find a chance of survival in this narrow road.
Istrone looked straight ahead, as if he did not care about the Blood Bottle Gang members beside him at all.
Nikolay waved his hand and the Blood Bottle Gang members stopped in their tracks, waiting for Istrone to come over.
However, the handsome blond Blood Clan member only snorted softly through his nose. He turned his head to the side and walked past the Red Viper without the slightest intention of talking.
However, the blond Blood Clan member was displeased to find that the human brat beside him, who was not even as tall as his waist, also walked with his head held high. He snorted and turned his head to the side at the same time as him. Then, he walked past Nikolay with his nostrils raised.
'What's going on? A dog relying on its master's power?
Istrone decided that when he returned, he would properly deal with this brat who liked to pretend to be ignorant.
Only Thales knew that at this moment, he was forcefully suppressing his heartbeat and pretending to be calm.
Nikolay's anger surged again.
"Hey! Pretty boy! "The Red Viper blocked Istrone's path in annoyance.
"Have you done what the duke ordered you to do?" Nikolay looked at the handsome Blood Clan member in front of him with an unfriendly tone.
'The duke?'
Thales cursed inwardly.
Istrone raised his eyes and looked at the human who blocked his path with disgust.
"The stolen treasures of Mindis Hall! Do you still remember? You even took away four teams of mercenaries! " Feeling Istrone's gaze, Nikolay was filled with anger. He walked in front of Istrone's nose and said loudly,
"You should have gotten something, right, pretty boy?"
'Pretty boy?
'Damned mortal.' Anger surged in Istrone's heart. His original plan was to trick the twenty mercenaries out, then split up and kill them one by one. He would then bring them back to the manor as a source of high-quality blood.
Who would have thought that they would all die in the hands of the strange masked man in Mindis Hall?
'But the theft at Mindis Hall … After all, it was the Duke of Tricolor Iris Flowers who requested it.
I still have to say something. '
Istrone turned his head towards Thales.
No one knew that Thales' heart at this moment was as cold as ice!
'What should I do, what should I do, what should I do!
Calm down! ' The prince said to himself, 'I have to save myself.'
His brain was spinning madly. Information and elements flashed back and reorganized at lightning speed!
Istrone lowered his head and looked at the prince, thinking about how to speak to Nikolay so that he would not embarrass himself in replying to this damned mortal.
Nikolay looked at Istrone's arrogant head in annoyance. He also followed the latter's gaze and turned towards the little boy beside him.
"Hey, kid …" Istrone said indifferently.
Everyone looked towards Thales!
At that moment, Thales took a deep breath.
'According to that chuunibyou, I am the man who wants to change the world.
How can I die here? '
Then.
Everyone present saw the seven or eight-year-old boy's expression turn cold. Before Istrone could say his next sentence, he shouted, "Yes, sir!"
"Yes, sir!"
Istrone was stunned for a moment. 'Why is this brat so respectful?'
But before he could react, the situation in front of him changed again.
Thales took a step forward without hesitation, and like a loyal guard, he stood between Istrone and Nikolay.
Then, under the bright moonlight …
Everyone heard the little boy with the irritating expression shout at the leader of the Blood Bottle Gang, the 'Red Viper' Nikolay in a childish voice. He was the leader of the eight Psionic Warriors, and he was filled with disgust and disgust, "Red Viper.
"Get lost! A lowly mortal! "
The noble Lord Istrone Corleone does not need a lowly stray dog like you to meddle in his affairs! "
It was a large chapter of eight thousand words. It was not good to cut it anywhere, so he decided not to cut it and posted it all!
