After leaving the Earl's Palace, Castel's guards did not embarrass Earl of Ulster again.
It was not until the Blood Count returned to the messy tavern that he was completely relieved and felt much more relaxed.
For some reason, although he did not see any force that could threaten him in the Earl's Mansion, since meeting Earl Castel, Yust has felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness and pressure.
Even he himself couldn't tell where the pressure came from, but he had a feeling that it was probably related to the mysterious god behind Castel.
Perhaps... just when he was talking to Count Castel, the mysterious god was secretly spying on him!
Thinking of this, Earl Eustace became restless again.
The task assigned to him by the Duke was considered completed.
He was undoubtedly involved in the game between legend and myth, and now he just wanted to leave North Port as soon as possible, report everything, and then return to his castle.
"Lord Earl, you are finally back! How was the negotiation? Can we return to Falling Star?"
Seeing Yust returning safely, the tavern owner was extremely excited and asked questions nervously and expectantly.
Obviously, the leader of the underground base of the Ness bloodline was probably frightened by Castel's various arrests during this period. Now even the tavern was smashed. Now he just wants to take this opportunity to escape and stay away from trouble...
Lord Eustace gave him a strange look.
While relaxing, the Blood Count also felt like joking.
He just groaned and nodded:
"The negotiations went smoothly."
After hearing his words, the tavern owner's eyes lit up.
But Yust took out a pack of Quintana from his arms and stuffed it directly into the boss's hand:
"Repair the tavern. Your task will be even more difficult from now on."
"Ah? Repairing the tavern? Aren't we going back?"
Looking at the Quintana in his hand, the tavern owner was a little confused.
Lord Eustace grinned and said:
"Yeah, we're going back, but you have to stay here."
"We are about to cooperate with Castel and need a window for dialogue. I am busy with my work and cannot travel back and forth between Falling Star and New Moon frequently. Your Excellency... will need to act as our Nice's representative and contact the Earl's Mansion."
After that, Earl Yust took out another communication crystal from his arms and placed it on the bar counter of the tavern:
"This is a communication crystal that can be used to contact me. I'm temporarily giving it to you for safekeeping."
"Hold it carefully. There are not many such precious magical devices even in the clan."
The tavern owner was stunned for a moment, but under the oppressive gaze of Yust, he finally gritted his teeth and put away the crystal.
"Work hard. If you make a contribution, I will give you the blood of origin as a reward."
' said the Earl of Eustace again.
The tavern owner's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:
"Thank you, Lord Earl! I will do my best! I will do my best!"
It is difficult for vampires to increase their strength.
The original blood bestowed by high-ranking blood descendants is the greatest hope for low-ranking blood descendants to increase their strength.
After pacifying the leader of his clan's stronghold in North Port, Earl of Ulster hurriedly left by boat.
He had to report the contents of the negotiations with Count Castel to the Duke as soon as possible.
"Your Excellency the Duke is right. The god behind Castel must have had some problems in the process of recovering his power. Otherwise... the young countess would not be so interested in the method of recovering her power!"
"No wonder her holy emblem has been on the continent for hundreds of years but has never become famous. It is probably because of her limited strength that she has been dormant until recently when she gradually accumulated some power..."
"From this perspective, this mysterious god is a suitable partner for Nice. After all... although she is a god, she doesn't seem to pose a huge threat!"
On the sailing ship Carrick, Earl of Ulster was writing furiously on a parchment scroll and muttering to himself.
In the cabin, candlelight flickered and light blue incense smoke filled the air, emitting a refreshing aroma.
I have to say, the fleet of my clan is indeed luxurious. Even the incense in the cabin is high-end product, which can lift your spirits and calm your mind. Yust even wants to ask where they bought it.
However, recalling the information about the Blood Demon Cult that Count Castel had mentioned, his interest soon faded, and his brows gradually furrowed again:
"The Blood Demon Cult... Could it be that Elder Maxim has not given up on his plan to cooperate with them?"
"They appeared in the Northland... Could it be the work of Elder Maxim?"
"No, this matter must be reported to His Excellency the Duke as soon as possible!"
Yulster thought for a moment, picked up the quill and started writing the report on the parchment scroll. At this moment, there was a light knock on the wooden door of the cabin:
"My Lord Earl, it's time for afternoon tea. Today's snacks are Blood God Flower Red Wine and Crescent Almond Cake from Luna Island."
Hearing the sound outside the cabin, Yust subconsciously stopped what he was doing.
Work is important, but for the elegant and enjoyable vampires, life is equally important.
The Ness vampires can be driven to country castles by mortal nobles, but they must never miss their daily afternoon tea!
Unless you sleep in a coffin.
"come in."
The Earl of Eustace said calmly.
The wooden door of the cabin was gently opened, and a young blood descendant walked in carrying a tray.
Yurst took a casual look and found that it was a member of the bloodline who was escorting the delegation to the north.
He couldn't remember exactly which generation it was, it seemed to be the ninth, or maybe the tenth. His strength was close to the second level of Silver Moon, and he was considered the backbone of the escort team this time.
"My Lord, please have some refreshments."
The Bloodborn stammered, seeming a little nervous.
Seeing the other person like this, Yust couldn't help laughing.
The vampire clan has a strict hierarchy, and too many low-level vampires look like this when they see him.
As an open-minded person in the clan, he did not care as much about the difference in status as those stubborn blood descendants, but he was quite helpless about it and was used to it.
Yust covered the parchment scroll, nodded slightly, and raised the wine glass gracefully.
However, just as he was about to put the red wine into his mouth, he suddenly had an idea and stopped.
The corner of his eye fell on the side, and the blood descendant who brought tea and snacks had not left.
Not only that, the other party was staring closely at the red wine in his hand, but his hands under his sleeves were shaking slightly.
The heartbeat that was like a drumbeat was like the stars in the dark night to Yust...
Yust frowned slightly.
He sniffed the red wine in his hand carefully and calmly, his expression changed slightly and suddenly became gloomy.
He just snorted lightly, threw the wine glass to the ground, and then pointed lightly, and the blood descendant in front of him was immediately pulled over by an unknown force.
In the cabin, candlelight flickered and the wind was blowing violently. The blood descendant looked pale and terrified. He was "lifted" into the air by Earl Yust and could not move at all.
Yust looked at him calmly, with mockery in his scarlet eyes:
"Child, didn't the people behind you tell you that your intense heartbeat can't be hidden from the perception of high-level blood descendants?"
"Tell me, who ordered you to do this?!"
Yulster's voice was loud and his pressure was like thunder.
In front of him, the pale-faced blood descendant was trembling with fear.
At this moment, a commotion came from outside the cabin, mixed with exclamations, shouts and screams.
The faint smell of blood gradually spread and penetrated into the nostrils of Earl Eustace.
Count Eustace's expression changed slightly.
He threw the "lifted" descendant aside, then put away the parchment scroll, stood up and left the cabin.
There was chaos on the deck.
When Yulster arrived, he saw a melee.
Those blood descendants who followed him as a delegation were being surrounded, and those who were attacking them were the accompanying blood descendants who escorted this trip, and the commander was actually the captain of the entire ship, a blood viscount named Zachli.
At this moment, the captain, who was also a descendant of the Ness clan, raised his silver sword and stabbed it into the chest of a descendant who followed Yust.
Seeing this scene, Yulster became furious.
He shouted angrily, and casually summoned a shadow tentacle to knock the opponent to the ground. Then he turned into a ball of black mist and flashed in front of the surrounded blood descendants. He looked coldly at the escorting blood descendants who besieged them:
"Zachary! Are you crazy?"
"Ahem..."
The bloodline captain Zachli climbed up, looked at Yust with complicated eyes, and then lowered his head and said:
"I'm sorry... Lord Earl, my master doesn't want to see Castel succeed in the negotiations, so... I have to ask you to bear with it for a while."
Yust was furious:
"To bear the grievance? To bear the grievance means to raise the sword against your compatriots?!"
After saying this, a red light burst out from Yust's body, and his pressure rose.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood.
His breathing suddenly became unstable and he fell down.
poisoned
when
Yust was stunned.
Looking at his shocked expression, Bloodline Captain Zachli said in a deep voice:
"My Lord Earl, please don't try to use your power anymore."
"After inhaling the scent of the Phantom Death Flower, the more you use your supernatural powers, the weaker you become..."
After hearing the captain's words, Earl of Yust's expression changed slightly:
"Fragrance? Incense...! Did you tamper with the incense?!"
The Bloody Captain remained noncommittal:
"I'm sorry, Master Yulster, you are a count after all. In order to deal with someone like you, I can only use such dishonorable means."
The Earl of Eustace looked grim.
He snorted coldly and said:
"Zachary, I don't know which old bastard is behind you, but... if you think you can deal with a Blood Count by poisoning him, then you underestimate the Count's power!"
"I will tie you all up, and I will take you to the elders' council. I will make you and the guys behind you accept the clan's punishment!"
After saying that, Yurst roared angrily, and directly forced his strength to activate the mental force field.
However, at this moment, a loud dragon roar suddenly came from the sky.
The dragon's might, which originated from the same spiritual force field, tilted down and hit Yurst. The spiritual force field that he had forcibly exerted was immediately frustrated and cracks appeared.
The mental force field is connected to the soul. If the force field is damaged, the soul will also be damaged.
Count Yust's face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of black blood almost instantly.
He staggered and almost fell, and was helped by the blood descendant behind him to stand up in time.
A huge black shadow enveloped the ship, and a majestic black dragon slowly descended.
Looking at the figure on the dragon's back, who was covered in a black robe and wearing a demon eye mask, Yulster's expression changed slightly:
"Blood Demon... The Cult!"
