The room became quiet again, and the next person to speak was Linda. "When will your eyes get better?"
"It's almost done. I have absorbed enough blood and essence. The damage caused by the sunlight has healed half of it."
"Are you short of money? I still have a street that I can sell."
Audric shook his head. "The echo was still somewhat useful before. I could use the money to buy blood slaves from pirates, and I could go to the human islands to enjoy all kinds of exquisite life."
"But once you reach the rank of Earl or above, the demand for coins by most vampires plummets. It is no longer practical to rely on Echo Coins to exchange for their blood essence."
"I heard that the prison is collecting a lot of relics? If there are any special and powerful relics, maybe we can exchange them with them."
Linda nodded without hesitation. "Okay, I'll take you to see it tomorrow."
Odrick flew down silently, stretched out his hands with sharp nails, and gently hugged Linda.
"Don't worry, when I advance again, I will have the power of the First Embrace. Then I will turn you into a vampire, and we will return to Dark Crystal Island and live in seclusion."
Linda clearly refused. "It's not the right time. I need to help the captain find the Land of Light first. This is the mission the Saint gave me, and it is also the highest mission of our Church of Light."
Audric showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. He felt that in Linda's heart, he was not as important as religion. "Is the Church of Light so important to you?"
When Linda heard this, she put her hands down. "We agreed before that you can't stop me from believing, otherwise..."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what I'll do." After saying that, Odrick licked Linda's white neck with his scarlet tongue.
Linda completely ignored it, picked up her knife and fork and continued eating.
"I have already accepted the blessing ceremony of light. I can't quit. I can only keep going."
"Why not? Does your church have a rule that does not allow believers to withdraw from the church?"
"No, of course you can quit the club, but their endings are all very bad. It's not easy for a person who can't lie to get along alone in the outside world."
"But when we are believers of the Church of Light, no one dares to bully us. Even though we won't tell a lie."
After hearing this, Orderic said nothing more. He secretly swore in his heart that as long as he was promoted to earl again, he would turn Linda into a vampire.
The lowest level vampire has amazing recovery ability. He can easily pull out those sharp vertebrae in her head by relying on his powerful healing ability.
"I'm full, you go wash the dishes." Linda wiped the corners of her mouth with the napkin, stood up and walked towards the study.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Audric reached out to the table, picked up the remaining plate and stumbled towards the kitchen.
"Knock knock knock~" The knock on the door startled the two people in the room.
When Linda opened the door with an indifferent look on her face, she saw a terrifying fishman standing at the door. "Dipper? What's wrong?"
"Let's go inside and talk." Dipper slipped inside.
As soon as Linda closed the door, she saw Dipper sniffing around.
"What's up? I don't like having a scaly monster in my house so late at night."
"Why do I seem to smell a scent of blood? Is someone injured here?"
Linda glanced at the kitchen subconsciously, and said nonchalantly: "If you have nothing to do, come back tomorrow morning."
"I just came back too, so I don't know the situation over there. James was in charge during the time we were out at sea. Maybe you can go ask him."
Dipper was about to speak but stopped with a puzzled expression, "Hmm? This smell of blood is so familiar. My sense of smell has been enhanced by 096 just like the captain. I can't be wrong."
He sniffed around and moved towards the kitchen. Just as he reached the kitchen door, Linda grabbed him and walked towards the door.
"Don't you want to know about the relic? Let's go now."
"Isn't it too late to go now?"
"It's not too late!" Linda dragged Dipper out the door, took a step forward, and slammed the door shut from the outside.
In the car, Dipper looked at Linda next to him in confusion. He didn't know why she suddenly reacted so strongly. He felt that she seemed to be hiding something, but he didn't want to ask more.
The car arrived at the prison in this strange atmosphere. A group of buildings had been erected behind the prison. It was a research institute that studied the relics.
The central part has been built and workers are currently expanding the surrounding areas.
Here, the hole that was illuminated by the greenhouse was not blocked, and the workers were working overtime.
"It's been such a short time since we last saw it, and it's already so big?" Dipper said in surprise.
"The Governor's Office has allocated special funds. The captain attaches great importance to this aspect. He believes that these special abilities are more important to our island than the sunlight in the sky." Linda said calmly.
Dipper jumped out of the car and pulled the huge hood on his back over his terrifying head.
"Indeed, these abilities are indeed very useful. Even the bananas that have been improved with bandages are a little bigger. By the way, speaking of the first mate, how is he?"
Linda had discussed this issue many times today, and she didn't want to discuss it anymore, so she ignored Dipper's question.
The two soon arrived at the laboratory. In each separate compartment, all kinds of terrifying monsters were roaring.
A group of people in white coats were holding pens and papers in their hands, constantly recording something in an attempt to find a pattern.
Seeing Linda coming, the head of the laboratory immediately came over to greet her.
Soon, various documents appeared in Linda's hands, with mostly red lines and a few blue lines.
Each red line represents a failure, and each blue line represents a success.
Although each individual is slightly different, the success rate has been greatly improved. If the whispering sound in the ear is added, the success rate is increased to 84%.
Compared with previous experiments conducted by doctors, the success rate of the experiments has been greatly increased.
"Great! In this case, this thing will come in handy." Dipper took the document from Linda and nodded as he read it.
"I just had a question. Why are you asking this so late at night?" Linda snatched the document from his hand.
Hearing this, Dipper's face lit up and he pointed at his fang-filled mouth with his webbed right hand.
"I really want to try this method."
