boom-
A huge bloody aura suddenly erupted from the center of the naval battle and spread in all directions.
The surrounding ships were shaken violently by it, and the sea water was also surging.
In the center of the naval battle, countless small blood-colored bats gathered together and condensed into a tall blood clan wearing a cloak, with blood-colored wings on his back, and exuding a noble temperament.
Below him was a vampire who looked a little weak. He was covered in wounds, and his limbs were firmly grasped by the bloody shadows, making him unable to move.
However, he was furious. He looked at the figure in the sky and roared, "Inlocker, you dare to snatch the scarlet weapon and destroy the blood ceremony. Are you going to break the blood oath?!"
"You are starting a war in the entire Blood Sea! All the Bloodline Families and Grand Dukes will not forgive your crimes, and you will die without a burial place!"
He struggled desperately and roared, trying to threaten Inlocke in front of him.
However, no matter how he struggled, it was difficult to hide the fact that his side was about to be defeated.
And Inrockel, who was being glared at by him, acted as if he didn't care about his words, his expression was calm, without the slightest ripple.
His figure slowly descended, and the blood-red bats formed a platform under his feet, supporting his body.
Inlocker put his hands behind his back, walked in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and chuckled:
"Count Matthias, don't misunderstand me, who said I was planning to steal the Scarlet Device?"
"From the beginning to the end... this is a conflict between me and your Morton family."
"understand?"
"Conflict?" Hearing his words, Count Matthias' pupils shrank and he was shocked: "What is the conflict between you and our Morton family? How come I don't know?"
Count Matthias was confused. In his opinion, Rockell attacked their fleet transporting the Scarlet Weapon in order to steal the Scarlet Weapon.
After all, he had never heard of any conflict between their Morton family and the newly emerging Grand Duke Inrocker.
"This happened at the last banquet."
"When your Grand Duke shook my hand... he didn't take off his gloves."
Inlocker said this absurd thing with a calm and serious look.
"What?!"
Matthias was also dumbfounded and looked confused.
Then he felt extremely aggrieved, and at the same time, he was filled with anger, and shouted: "Inlocker, you, what kind of excuse is that? At that time, you were not even..."
Snapped-
Before he could finish his words, a slap made of blood suddenly slapped him in the face, interrupting him.
"According to the laws of the Blood Empire, low-ranking vampires have no right to address high-ranking vampires by their full names, and they must be humble when talking. Otherwise, high-ranking vampires have the right to punish them..."
Inlocker stared at Mathias with cold eyes and spoke slowly.
"Count Matthias, tell me, what should you call me?"
Hearing what Inlocker said, Matthias suddenly felt an endless amount of frustration in his heart.
But he saw the chillingly cold look in Inlocker's eyes, as if if his next words were wrong, he would attack him without hesitation.
Although he had indeed violated the laws of the Blood Empire, who could remain calm under the circumstances just now
But now the situation is stronger than people, because Rocker holds on to this reason again...
Under this circumstance, Matthias's expression changed for a while, and finally he could only swallow the anger and frustration in his heart, slowly lowered his head, as if squeezing out a few words from between his teeth.
"…Inlokol… Archduke."
Inlocker chuckled and stared at him: "Isn't this enough?"
Matthias's face turned even darker, and he took a deep breath and endured the humiliation.
"… Respected head of the Longus family, His Royal Highness the noble Grand Duke of Inlocker…"
Hearing what Matthias said.
Inlocker then chuckled twice, then his body turned into a sky full of blood bats and disappeared in front of him.
…
"Starting a war because of shaking hands without removing gloves?"
"Is this vampire duke named Inrocker looking for trouble?"
Nomi exclaimed.
They arrived at an unfortunate time. The war was almost over and the conflict just now was the last scene.
After this, the forces of the vampire Grand Duke Inlocker began to clean up the mess.
"Scarlet Vessel, Blood Oath... What do these two words mean?"
Mira was thoughtful and very interested in the nouns that came out of the two people's mouths.
"The laws of the Blood Empire... are really strict and hierarchical."
Yas frowned slightly.
"Will snatching the so-called scarlet weapon in the Blood Sea cause hostility from all the vampires?"
Lina felt that things were not that simple.
"Every one of these vampires has a sick brain."
Hudson said expressionlessly.
However, Rogge did not express his opinion immediately.
After a moment, his expression showed a little surprise, as if he saw something interesting.
He came back to his senses, looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "Since you are all curious, why don't we go visit this Duke Inlocker."
After saying this, before anyone could comment.
Roger snapped his fingers.
In an instant, the black tide surged and the darkness enveloped the entire Green.
A moment later, they appeared in the center of the naval battle.
Next to the Green, there appeared an extremely large ship with a distinct vampire style.
As soon as Rogge thought about it, the black tide receded again.
At this time, he did not seem to use his authority to hide the Green.
This can be seen from the hungry eyes of the vampire soldiers on the giant ship who are suppressing themselves.
Duke Inlocker, who had just appeared on the screen, was now in front of them, as if they had expected it.
"Please move aside, my guest."
"Let's go." Rogge laughed and slowly stepped onto the giant vampire ship.
The people behind looked at each other and then followed.
Only Hudson shook his head at Roger and indicated that he would stay on the Green.
Rogge did not force it, and took the rest of the people into the giant ship under the leadership of Inrockel.
As the travel vessel of the Grand Duke of the Blood Sea, this giant ship is extremely luxurious in both decoration and architectural style, revealing a noble and elegant temperament everywhere. At the same time, some rare corals and sea monster skull decorations also add a hint of danger to it.
Everyone sat down in the largest room on the top floor.
Two tall vampire soldiers stood on both sides of Inlocke and seemed unwilling to leave.
They didn't turn around and leave until Inlock gave the order.
From beginning to end, these two vampire soldiers did not show hungry eyes to the people on the Green like the other soldiers did.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what to call you yet."
Inrocker looked at Rogge and behaved very politely.
"Rogge." Rogge smiled.
"Mr. Roger." Inrocker nodded to Roger and then said, "I wonder what you want to know by looking at my ship?"
It is natural for ordinary people to get angry if they know someone is spying on them.
But Locke's words were very polite, as if he was trying his best to avoid conflict with Rogge, the strange and powerful man.
Then, the truth can only be that Locke actually had deeper considerations, which is why he attacked the Morton family's ships.
"My crew is more interested in the history of your blood race."
"But I'd rather talk to you alone."
Roger looked at him with a smile on his face and said.
After hearing this, Inlocker was silent for a moment, then raised his hand.
Not long after, a middle-aged vampire with a calm temperament walked in.
Inlocker nodded at him and said, "Tell my guests about the history of the vampires."
After that, he looked at Roger.
After Rogge gave Lina a reassuring look, a black tide surged up, covering him and Inrockel, and then disappeared in the room.
…
In a dark and mysterious space.
Inlocker looked at the darkness around him, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes. He forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and looked at Rogge in front of him.
"Don't worry, I mean no harm to you."
Rogge looked calm and sat down directly. The black tide quickly surged up and formed a stool behind him.
At the same time, he motioned for Inlocker to sit down.
His words made Inlocker feel a little relieved, but he still did not let down his guard.
He really couldn't guess what this strange strong man who suddenly appeared in front of him was thinking.
At this moment, neither his identity as the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan, nor his own strength, nor the powerful army outside his command, could give him the slightest sense of security.
The reason why he was so respectful to Rogge, and even when he noticed he was being stared at, he spoke cautiously, was naturally because he couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking.
He knew very well that if the strong stranger in front of him wanted to crush him to death, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger...
but…
Now that things have come to this, Inlocker can only take things one step at a time.
After he sat down.
"You didn't attack the Morton family's fleet because of a so-called conflict."
"At the same time, you are not Inlockel, the head of the Longus family."
Rogge directly threw out two bomb-like affirmative sentences, which made Inrocker's bloodshot pupils shrink slightly and his heart was immediately filled with stormy waves.
How did he know?!
Locke had never imagined that the two biggest secrets he had been hiding would be revealed by Rogge.
This person in front of me...what kind of person is he
"Don't be so surprised, it's just a little trick."
The other party's calm tone shocked Inlocker greatly.
"I have a question."
"Most of the things about the Blood Sea seem to be blocked by an unknown force, and we cannot get any further insight."
"That power is strong, but it's just instinct."
"The rank of the Blood Sea is also significantly different from other places."
"I wonder if you can answer this question for me."
Roger looked at him.
Inlock suddenly felt an invisible pressure looming over him.
Faced with Rogge's question, Inrocker seemed a little hesitant.
As if he could see his hesitation, Rogge spoke again: "No one can spy here... not even the true God."
Hearing his words, Inlocker finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "All the abnormalities of the blood race come from the source of the blood sea, the ancestor of all the blood races..."
Having said this, he did not continue.
Even though Rogge guaranteed the safety of this place, he did not mention the exact name.
Afterwards, Inrocker told Rogge the origins of the blood clan of the Blood Empire and the six major families in the Blood Sea.
In the distant history, a powerful true god-level being fell due to disaster.
But He did not die completely. Instead, He used this fall to avoid the terrible disaster so that He could wake up again at an appropriate time.
He separated his soul from his body.
The body was divided into six parts, each forming a powerful family.
The soul was also divided into six parts, each of which was looked after by a different family, and each family was endowed with different secret techniques and abilities.
He indeed avoided the disaster in this special way.
However, when He wanted to wake up again.
The six major families formed by his body betrayed him.
This was because His resurrection must be based on the bloodlines of the six family leaders and require the sacrifice of six scarlet vessels.
The heads of the six major families are unwilling to lose their lives, nor are they willing to lose the secret skills and abilities that maintain their rule.
This made Him angry.
But He does not have the ability to directly threaten the group formed by His own body.
But His will can affect His bloodline to a certain extent.
So, He planted a curse in his blood.
He wanted to make this group of people kill each other, so he had a thirst for blood.
He wanted to make this ethnic group lose its power, so the Blood Embrace occurred.
He wanted to make this group suffer, so the sun burned them.
In addition, there are aging, illness, the reduction of bloodlines, and plagues that only spread among this group of people...
More weaker vampires were created in this process. They had mixed bloodlines, no innate abilities, but inherited most of the defects.
The six tortured families finally chose to compromise because of the pain brought by these curses.
But He did not choose to remove the curse, but to use it as a warning to the vampires.
Only when they gather all the Scarlet Instruments during the Scarlet Festival can they temporarily escape the pain brought by these curses.
The Scarlet Rite is undoubtedly paving the way for His resurrection.
'No wonder the rank rules in this bloody sea are completely different from those in the outside world...'
'This is similar to Odoan. Almost all of the vampires are his bloodline, but he seems to have been separated from them more thoroughly than Odoan. He cannot control the individuals produced by his bloodline and can only influence their bloodline...'
After listening to Inrock's narration.
Roger was thoughtful.
Unexpectedly, these characteristics of the blood clan actually came from the curse of the will of a true god, rather than being inherent in their own bloodline.
“This is the story of the bloody sea.”
"So, Grand Duke Inlocker, what's your story?"
