A vampire's heart was similar to a lich's phylactery. However, a lich's phylactery was a coordinate that led to the real world, while a vampire's heart was the core of life.
Liszt put away the five hearts in the long box, including Tubert's heart.
He did not trust vampires.
However, he threw the ball of blood back to Y 'lisabet. "Tubert is already dead. I was going to ask him a few questions. Now that the pureblood is dead, how are we going to contact the other four mixed vampires? "
"As long as you squeeze the heart, they will sense it and come to see you. With the heart, we are all your vampires' servants. " Y 'lisabet quickly changed her attitude after Liszt took control of her heart. She became gentle and obedient.
She obviously understood that Liszt had become her master.
"Take all of Tubert's belongings. Let's go back first. Otherwise, my father will probably go talk to the prince." Liszt whistled and summoned the chocobo Loki.
Y 'lisabet had already absorbed the ball of blood into her body. She smiled charmingly. "My body is still weak. Sir, do you mind if I ride on your mount?"
"I'll be straightforward. Y 'lisabet, your tricks are useless against me. Do you understand? There are many noble ladies in the Grand Duchy who wish to share a night with me, but not many of them are worthy of my attention. So, being a vampire servant is the most reasonable choice. "
With that, Liszt mounted the bird and galloped towards the port of Iron Shoe City.
Y 'lisabet stomped her feet. She was angry and frustrated, but there was nothing she could do. She could only transform into a bat and chase after the chocobo.
...
After returning to the Sunset, Liszt first went to the Tulip to meet with the Count.
"Is it settled?"
"It was easier than I thought. It was just a bat that couldn't see the light. Unfortunately, I was too heavy-handed and killed Tubert Black Knight. He also had five mixed blood subordinates. They're basically my vampire servants now. Maybe I can get some secrets out of them. "
Liszt gave a simple account of what had happened. The arrival of the vampires was not an isolated incident. It had already affected the internal stability of the grand duchy.
"I didn't expect vampires to actually exist and hide among us." The Earl pondered for a moment and said, "Let's pretend that this never happened. You need to restrain the five vampires. Don't expose them at will … We don't need to worry about the Grand Duke."
"I understand."
"By the way, why didn't you bring Y 'lisabet here? Let me see what a vampire looks like. She can even turn into a bat." William was curious.
"I'll bring her to you after we set sail. A vampire turning into a bat is indeed quite magical."
They didn't talk for long. After getting the Count's suggestion to downplay the matter, he returned to the Sunset. Elizabeth Black Knight was in his room, playing with the belongings she had seized from Tubert.
There were five items in total.
A shiny silver dagger. Y 'lisabet knew it very well. "My lord, this dagger is called' Silver Oath. 'It's one of the magic equipment passed down in the Black Knight family. It can increase the power of blood magic. For vampires, it's a top-notch equipment for night assassinations. "
A set of clothes, including a black cloak with a red background, and a tuxedo similar to Frac Abier. This set of clothes was similar to Y 'lisabet's tight leather jacket and trousers. It was just an ordinary magic equipment that could change with the wearer and could only provide a small amount of defensive attributes.
An item that looked like a book.
Y 'lisabet also knew it. "This book is called' Reincarnation Ritual. 'It has only one function. Using blood magic, it can boil a person's blood and gradually transform them into the cold-blooded vampire. It's the same set of items as the blood-drawing needles you confiscated. I used this Reincarnation Ritual to transform from a mage to a vampire. "
She stroked the cover and fell into a brief moment of reminiscence.
Then she came back to her senses and picked up the fourth item. "I've never seen this mirror before, but I feel that it should be a protective item. It can probably resist sunlight and restrain light magic."
Finally.
She picked up the fifth item.
This item was a red mask. "I often use this mask. It's called 'Blood Mask.' Every time I take back my heart for a short period of time and start training under Tubert's supervision, I will wear it. It can calm the hot and dry elements in a vampire's blood and keep the blood cool. "
The blood of vampires is cold.
Sunlight or light magic would make it warm and boil, thereby consuming and interfering with blood magic and greatly reducing their strength.
After knowing the function of each item, Liszt took them away from Y 'lisabet one by one, ignoring her resentful gaze.
"I heard Tubert call you Mary. Is that your real name?"
"When I became a vampire, Tubert gave me the name Elizabeth Black Knight. It's been twenty years … Mary Truth was my name when I was a mage. Later, it became my code name in the Black Knight family … Bloody Mary."
"Oh." Liszt narrowed his eyes.
The smoke mission happened to float in front of him. "Mission complete. Reward: Bloody Mary Elizabeth Black Knight."
Before Liszt could sigh at the dominance of the nickname Bloody Mary.
Y 'lisabet said quickly, "Vampires of mixed blood like us all have a code name. Purebloods don't like to call us by our names. Oh, I forgot to mention that the other four vampires that Tubert brought are called Scarlet Peggy, Bloody Hamil, Night Demon Wimbledon, and One-Eyed Wuso. "
They were all very domineering.
Among them, One-Eyed Wuso made Liszt raise his eyebrows — his coachman's name was One-Eyed Barton.
Because of this interruption, the smoke had dissipated, and Liszt hadn't had time to read the new mission yet. But he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he asked, "Vampires live by sucking blood?"
"My lord, vampires don't suck blood. Those purebloods like to call themselves vampires. The authors of Knight novels always describe us as blood-sucking monsters. In fact, we're just mages who study blood magic. It's just that our bodies have some unique changes. "
"So you also eat?"
"Of course we eat, my lord. We eat what normal people eat."
Tubert was already dead, and his heart was in Liszt's hands. Y 'lisabet answered all his questions without hiding anything, behaving like a loyal subordinate.
Liszt also gradually understood the vampires, a group of spellcasters that were neither human nor ghost. Other than the fact that their inheritance was relatively secretive, that they liked to appear at night, that they turned into bats to do bad things, and that they had a bad reputation, there wasn't much special about them. They were distributed in every corner of the continent, but there were very few of them.
Firstly, the fertility rate was very low, and it was very difficult to give birth to purebloods. Secondly, transforming a mixed blood required a lot of resources, and it was impossible for a talented person to become a foreign mixed blood.
A vampire family with fifty members was already a large family.
As they chatted, they talked about the cause of this incident.
Bloody Mary explained, "Originally, Tubert didn't intend to transform you, my lord. Even the Black Knight family couldn't bear to waste the resources of transforming a mixed blood. Later, when he heard that you were the youngest Sky Knight of Sapphire, Tubert had the idea to transform you. "
Liszt didn't say anything about it.
But he already knew that this had to be the backlash of the power of fate from the failure of the last mission, which attracted Tubert's malice toward him.
