Sparkling diamonds were embedded in the black velvet, emitting a clear and bright light, vast and dreamy.
This was the eternal beauty of the Night Highland.
Bathing in the starlight, Lucien walked through the dark city wall and left the projection of the Observer's Castle.
Under the cover of the swaying trees, Lucien put on the transformation mask. His body was elongated, and his skin was pale. His eyes were like the Silver Moon at night, and his hair was silver.
Within a few seconds, "Rhein" appeared in the Night Highland, wearing a bright red shirt and a black tuxedo.
Lucien adjusted his bow tie so that he could dress up as meticulously as Rhein. Then he walked towards a vampire's castle in the distance.
Marquis Lashar, a powerful vampire who had lived for five thousand years, guarded the space node between the Night Highland and the desert in the south of the Gusta Empire to prevent any creatures other than vampires from sneaking in.
Earlier, when he was in Rhein's treasury, Lucien gave up several level-7 or level-8 magic staffs and chose Pale Justice. It was not because it was immune to the negative effects such as charm, rage, and helplessness, but because it could be used as a level-1 legendary item in the face of evil creatures such as spectres. It was the only senior-rank item that Lucien knew of!
Lucien's current mission was related to the World of Souls, and he had been followed by a senior-rank spectres. Therefore, he had to choose the best weapon to fight spectres first. Besides, vampires were spectres, and this place was the Night Highland, where there were many dangerous vampires!
As for the restriction that only a level-6 Knight could pick up the weapon, Lucien had his own way to solve it. The Ogre Glove alone could increase his strength to the level of a level-5 Knight. Together with several middle-rank and low-rank spells, such as the fourth-circle Brute Strength, and the second-circle Ox Strength, he could barely reach the level of a level-6 Knight.
Although this effect could only last for a few minutes, it was more than enough for him to pick up Pale Justice and use it to its full effect!
Among the sixth-circle spells that Lucien hadn't learned yet, there was "Baler's Transformation", which could turn a sorcerer into a Knight of the same rank.
Of course, Lucien had another thought in his mind. This was a powerful and bright Knight's sword. When the relationship developed to a certain extent, he could give it to someone as a gift to deepen their relationship.
It had to be said that Lucien would occasionally fantasize about a beautiful future.
…
On the left side of the strange, steepled, tower-shaped castle, there was a magnificent palace. It was supported by thick stone pillars, and the ground was covered with neat and smooth stone bricks.
In Lucien's eyes, it was very similar to the ancient Greek temples on Earth.
The crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on the stone bricks spread far and wide. A tall vampire in a brown suit with a pale face blocked Lucien's way.
"Why are you in Marquis Lashar's palace?" The vampire was quite arrogant.
Lucien, who had changed into Rhein's appearance, smiled and said, "I'm here to use the node transmission magic circle."
"Did the marquis agree?" The vampire replied arrogantly.
Lucien pretended to be calm, but in his mind, he was quite anxious, "According to the rules of the Council of Elders, every vampire can use most of the space nodes in the Night Highland. Is this place not included?"
Rhein was actually a Prince of Vampires and a member of the Council of Elders. If Lucien stayed here for too long, maybe another Prince of Vampires would come to him, and then his disguise would be easily exposed.
However, the anxiety in his heart did not affect Lucien's thinking and actions. He even controlled his heartbeat and blood flow very well.
The vampire did not dare to directly go against the rules of the Council of Elders. He said coldly, "There are traitors among the vampires, and maybe you're just a disguise. Without the marquis' permission, I have to check carefully."
His tone was formal, and his attitude was rigid. His right hand was slightly moving, as if he was asking for something.
Lucien had guessed his purpose, but he was pretending to be Rhein, a legendary vampire who was gentle on the surface but arrogant on the inside. How could he bribe him?
If he did so, once Marquis Lashar knew about it, he would immediately know that Lucien was a disguise. However, it was also not in Rhein's character to accept the check.
Lucien squinted his silver eyes and was about to hint the vampire to get away as far as possible.
Suddenly, an old voice came from behind Lucien without any warning, "Your Excellency Observer, long time no see."
Marquis Lashar was here?
Lucien's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He did not want to be familiar with Rhein, or he might be exposed through his words and actions.
"Your … Your Excellency?" The vampire who was asking for a bribe began to tremble, and the calm expression of the vampire in front of him clearly appeared in his mind. It was not until then that he realized that he had been on the brink of "death" and had almost been killed by a legendary for no apparent reason!
Lucien did not care about the vampire's fear at all. He said calmly, "Lashar, I'm going to the southern desert."
Lucien did not dare to say too much. He tried to be as concise as possible, and Rhein had specifically reminded him to call the marquis Lashar.
"Your Excellency Observer, Prince Dracula has been looking for you." Lashar was an "elegant" old man with gray hair. Holding a delicate cane, he answered with a faint smile.
"Him? What does he want? "Lucien turned around with the gentle and handsome smile that Rhein always had.
Lashar cursed in his mind. He knew that Prince Dracula was coveting Lucien's talent of borrowing the power of the Ancestor.
"Prince Dracula wants you to attend the next meeting of the Elders of the Vampires to discuss the internal dispute of the Dark Congress." Lashar explained the reason on the surface.
It was said that the reason why Silver-Eyed Count had been missing for so long was that he was severely injured by a legendary master. Therefore, Prince Dracula was eager to make a move. His talent was to absorb other people's talents.
As the most powerful prince of the Vampires, as well as the most ancient vampire, Prince Dracula was not favored by the Silver Moon Aetna as much as Rhein.
Lucien still kept the faint smile on his face. He said to the level eight vampire warlock, "You've been absent for so many times. One more time doesn't matter."
It was so difficult to imitate Rhein's tone!
Even with Rhein's guidance in his dream, Lucien still felt that it was very difficult to play the role of a legendary master. But of course, it was much easier to pretend to be his teacher. All he needed to do was to roar and roar and roar, and anyone who doubted him would be scared away.
"Mr. Observer, I think Prince Dracula has woken up from his deep sleep after hearing your news," Lasciel replied calmly. "He wants to meet you and discuss the future of the Blood Race with you," Lashar replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry." Lucien's heart skipped a beat. He almost forgot to imitate Rhein's tone. Fortunately, he controlled himself in time.
If his body had not turned into an undead creature, cold sweat would have been dripping down his back.
Lasciel knew that Rhein seemed to be approachable, but in fact, he was arrogant and indifferent. Seeing Rhein walking towards the node transmission circle, Lasciel hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Observer, please wait a moment."
"Lashael …" Lucien turned around and looked at Lashael with a gentle smile on his face. His tone was unhurried.
Lashael immediately sensed the bone-chilling intent hidden under the Silver-Eyed Count's warm smile. He couldn't help but take two steps back, unable to say a word. He stood side by side with his trembling descendant.
Seeing Lasciel's reaction, Lucien slightly nodded and continued to walk towards the node transmission circle.
Lasciel opened his mouth several times, but he did not know what to say. He anxiously looked out of the palace and wondered if Prince Dracula had woken up from his deep sleep.
Lucien was so nervous that he felt that he could pass out at any time.
The more nervous he was, the calmer he became. Lucien stepped into the node, threw out the gemstone, and cast the spell to activate the transmission circle.
Seeing the Silver-Eyed Count disappearing into the transmission circle, Lashael sighed in disappointment. If the Observer had been a few minutes later, Lashael's message would have been delivered to Prince Dracula's city.
He did not have the courage or the ability to stop a "prince", so he could only delay with words.
"It's said that the Congress of Magic has developed a very good long-distance communication spell. If I knew this would happen, I would've bought a few. "
Lasciel glared at his useless descendant, but Lucien did not know that he was almost killed by his own "contribution".
…
Near a pyramid-shaped mausoleum, Lucien, with black hair and black eyes, quietly dragged a sphinx monster into the depth of the desert.
After a few days of observation, Lucien was sure that the sphinx was the tomb watcher tonight.
Lucien took out a drop of blood from the sphinx's spine and dripped it on the transformation mask. The clown's funny smile immediately came to life. Lucien kept changing his appearance, but in the end, he still looked like a clown.
Putting on the mask, Lucien's body suddenly expanded, especially his lower body. Four fluffy lion legs and a tail grew out of his lower body, and his back was covered with fur.
After hiding the sphinx, Lucien picked up the javelin and quickly ran to the sphinx's camp near the mausoleum. There was a level nine Blessed Priest there!
After leaving the node transmission circle, Lucien quickly went deep into the desert, ignoring the master of the vampire castle. Lucien secretly changed back to himself.
In this way, Lucien did not need to worry about Dracula, who was looking for "Rhein"!
In the camp, a group of sphinxes was dancing around the bonfire. As they jumped and jumped, the lustful men and women began to pair up and do it on the spot. A lustful atmosphere filled the air.
"The rainy season is over, and it's the mating season for animals on the grassland again …"
When the magnetic voice echoed in Lucien's head, a strong sphinx suddenly ran to him, "Fayr, why are you drooling? It's your turn to guard the mausoleum! Go! "
"Why would I drool …" Lucien murmured and ran to the mausoleum.
"Why are you running that way?" The sphinx asked confusedly.
Damn it! Did something go wrong? Lucien was stunned.
