1261 Evolve again
"There has been no challenger for hundreds of years. If you are willing to challenge, I find it somewhat interesting."
Archduke Peter chuckled, "But you must first complete the task I assigned you."
"You say."
William gritted his teeth and said to himself that with Mr. Li here, he could complete any task!
"I received intelligence that there will be a wave of werewolves raiding our castle tomorrow. When the time comes, you help me get rid of them, and I will allow you to challenge me, how about that?"
"Okay! Let's make an agreement!"
William's eyes flashed.
Li Fan frowned, did he have to wait another day? He didn't really want to wait.
"Mr. Li, wait one more day. We are staying in the castle tonight. You can search around and maybe you can find Liu Xiaowan."
William's voice sounded in Li Fan's mind, which seemed to be his mental ability.
"Okay, you can stay here. Rose, prepare a servant's room for him."
"yes."
A little rickety little old man walked over next to him. He had white hair hanging down and a gloomy aura, as if he was not a housekeeper but a night watchman.
"Sir William, please come this way."
The old man extended his hand to invite him, and William immediately followed him out, taking Li Fan all the way to the second underground floor of the castle.
There was some moisture down there, which made Li Fan feel uncomfortable. However, with William's current condition, it seems that he can only live here.
"Lord William, this is your room."
The old butler Ross led them to a very simple room. This room still has a wooden door, and there is only a wooden bed inside. The surrounding walls are still made of stone, and there is no decoration at all. Li Fan saw at a glance that there were mottled moss growing on the surrounding stones, which added a bit of fresh color.
"If you need anything, just ask me."
After the old butler Ross finished speaking, he was about to leave, but William suddenly stretched out his hand and called to him.
"what's up?"
Ross showed a hint of impatience.
"I'm hungry, prepare some food."
William ordered.
"I know, please wait a moment."
Rose turned and left, and now it was just the two of them, but there was only one bed.
"Well, Mr. Li can just sleep on the bed, and I can make do with it."
"No, you can sleep on your own while I meditate and adjust my breathing. I have to go out for a walk at night."
Li Fan was thinking about Liu Xiaowan, so he must not be able to sleep well.
"This castle is like a maze. I will be by your side to guide you."
"It's not very convenient for two people to move together."
Li Fan has his own considerations.
"Don't worry, our vampire family has special methods."
William said and blew a breath. A small black bat flew out of the darkness and landed on his shoulder.
"This is an ability that each of us vampires will have from the beginning. It's called Bat Eyes."
William pointed at the little bat, "I can see everything around me through it. When the time comes, I will be in this room and let it follow you."
"This is pretty good."
Li Fan was a little surprised. Is there such a way
"Lord William, your meal is here."
The old housekeeper's voice came from outside the door, and it was also a little low, as if his throat was broken.
"come in."
William sat on the bed, and Li Fan immediately stood beside him, motionless, waiting for the old housekeeper to come in.
The old butler pushed open the door and entered, carrying a tray with a piece of cold bread and a glass of red wine.
"If nothing happens, I'll leave."
The old housekeeper put the things on the bedside table, as if he didn't want to wait for William's instructions. He walked very quickly, coming and going like the wind, and he didn't look old at all.
"Rose is also an old butler. He has been here since I was born."
William said, "Although he is just an ordinary blood slave, he is influenced by his family and looks down on mixed bloods."
"It's no wonder you are treated like this."
Li Fan understood that this was a place where blood discrimination was everywhere. Even an ordinary little blood slave would discriminate against a mixed-race Marquis like William, and even treat him with a cold shoulder.
"Mr. Li, this is prepared for you. Although it is a bit crude, it is enough to satisfy your hunger."
"You don't want to eat?"
"We vampires don't eat food."
William smiled, "The old housekeeper also knows that I am just asking for food for you."
"Yeah, I got it."
Li Fan nodded. He had forgotten about this. The Vampires all live on blood. They don't need food to replenish their energy, so they don't need to eat.
"This red wine should be of some vintage."
William gently pushed the red wine in front of Li Fan, "Although this bread is not good, the wine is good. The wine here is all stored in the cellar."
"Okay, thank you."
Li Fan felt that William was a good person in nature. Although his ambition was not small, it was normal for a man to be a little ambitious.
But Li Fan was also muttering in his heart, if the werewolves were to raid here tomorrow, Peter would just leave the defense to William and just ignore it? Is he so relieved
"William, are you sure you can deal with those werewolves tomorrow?"
"I'm not sure, it's you."
William said shyly.
"day… "
Li Fan was a little depressed. He stretched out his left hand and said, "Drink some more blood. Maybe you can evolve into a Duke."
"this… "
William smiled bitterly, "It's not that easy."
"Then do you smoke or not?"
"Suck, suck, suck!"
William nodded like he was pounding garlic. The boy carefully held Li Fan's arm again, as if looking at a treasure.
"Hurry up, don't waste time."
"yes!"
William opened his fangs and bit Li Fan's wrist.
Another slight sting, followed by an empty feeling as the blood drained away.
William's eyes glowed red again, and then, his body released red radiance bit by bit. This time Li Fan did not stop him and allowed him to absorb his blood at will. Li Fan's blood production is also very fast now, and he is not afraid of William sucking more. He also wanted to test how much William could suck and how strong he was.
Soon, William's face turned red. He pushed Li Fan's arm away, took two steps back, and sat down on the bed.
The red light on his body became more and more intense, but the flush on his face faded, making him a little pale.
This time, the wings on William's back popped out again, tore the clothes on his back and stretched out. Li Fan closed the door tightly to prevent the movement here from being noticed by the outside.
It seems that this guy is going to evolve again. He has evolved twice in two days. He probably couldn't even imagine it.
"Mr. Li... you are really strong..."
William murmured, "I actually... evolved again..."
"Of course, you were at the pinnacle of a marquis before, so it's not surprising that you have evolved to a duke now."
"You're right... let me digest it first..."
William closed his eyes and began to feel his new power.
