After happily giving instructions on Cheap's daughter's flexible use of magic for a while, under Serena's angry eyes, Dracula walked towards the werewolf Fenrir Greyback who was hanging on the lamppost.
"Mr. Greyback, can you tell me who gave you these Inferi?" Dracula asked with a chuckle.
I don't know whether it was because he was hanging upside down or because he was still in a state of transformation. Fenrir's eyes were bloodshot and he looked absently at the patches of fire burning under the city wall.
"Impossible... How could a being like you appear among vampires..." He murmured, "The Dark Lord can't be stronger than this..."
"The Dark Lord?" Dracula frowned, grasping the key point of his statement, "So are these Inferi created by Voldemort?"
As he said that, he shook his head again, "Isn't that right? I just annihilated the origin of his soul a few months ago. Logically speaking, he should still be wandering around like a lonely ghost at this moment..."
"What did you say? You defeated the Dark Lord?!" Fenrir suddenly opened his eyes.
"Is there anything strange about this?" Dracula looked at him in confusion, "Just such a little guy with no style and no body, do you think it's difficult to deal with him?"
Fenrir opened his mouth and suddenly made an extremely ugly smile with his ugly wolf face.
"Master Vampire, as long as you can lead our dark forces to rule the magic world, I am willing to join you!" He said flatteringly, "We werewolves and vampires both belong to the dark camp, so naturally they are not on opposite sides. There is no need to fight and kill each other. do you think so?"
"Your mentality has changed quite quickly." Looking at the werewolf who had no position at all, Dracula curled his lips and casually took out a blood-flavored lollipop from his pocket, "But why should I rule the magic world? It’s troublesome for me to rule a castle, but wouldn’t it be exhausting to rule the magic world?”
He was about to stuff the lollipop into his mouth, but Serena snatched it away and stuffed it into her own mouth first.
"It's troublesome to rule the castle, but you've been exposed!" She said angrily while licking the lollipop, "You just want to be the boss!"
Dracula shrugged helplessly, and had no choice but to take out another one and stuff it into his mouth.
"Forget it, it's a bit troublesome to talk to you. I'd better come and see it myself." He opened his eyes, and the light was flowing in his eyes.
Fenrir's various messy memories appeared in front of Dracula's eyes one by one.
Dracula saw that in the cave where many werewolves gathered, a wizard with twisted features and scarlet eyes led a group of Inferi in... That was Voldemort. Not only did he not seem to become weaker, he even possessed A complete body.
"Something's wrong." Dracula frowned slightly.
He carefully looked at Voldemort's body in Fenrir's memory again.
Dracula discovered that although his flesh and blood looked very realistic, there was always a sense of alienation from the surrounding air, as if... it was transformed by magic.
Borrowing a skeleton as a frame to build an entire body
"Interesting." Dracula raised his lips.
He casually gave Fenrir a stun spell to knock him out, then turned to Serena and said:
"Put this dog in a cage. As Voldemort's subordinate, he may have other uses at some point."
"Did you have a conflict with the Dark Lord from the UK?" Serena chewed the lollipop and threw the candy stick under the city wall. "He came to win over us more than ten years ago. The dark forces, our werewolf neighbors readily agreed, which was one of the reasons why they had conflicts with us before.”
Dracula looked at Selena's action of throwing candy sticks, and felt that this behavior seemed familiar, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand:
"Accio."
After taking Selina's leftover candy stick, Dracula summoned a flame and burned it to ashes.
"You have become an environmentalist after all?" Serena looked at him burning the candy sticks and asked with great confusion, "And wasn't this something that the Muggle world started to advocate twenty years ago? At that time Theoretically you are still sound asleep..."
"Ahem... It's not that bad." Dracula coughed twice, "I'm just a little worried all of a sudden - I wonder if an energetic old lady will appear here and suddenly rush to the city wall. Go ahead and teach you a lesson about the quality of your employees?”
Serena looked at him like she was an idiot.
"Forget it, let's not mention this. I guess I have some conditioned reflexes." Dracula felt a little embarrassed and silently changed the subject, "Do we have a high-level vampire named Tesla here?"
"There is indeed a Tesla." Serena nodded slightly, "But he only became a vampire almost fifty years ago. When he came to Dracula's Castle, it was already the second half of the 20th century. At that time You are still sleeping, I’m afraid the Tesla I’m talking about is not the same person.”
"It must be him," Dracula said. "Where is he now?"
"Well, among the senior vampires over there who are teaming up to fight dogs, that's the one wearing formal clothes." Serena pouted towards the distance under the city wall, "I don't understand how you know him. ?”
"It's not that I know him, it's a wizard who knows him, or... I once knew him." Dracula smiled inexplicably, "Let them come back first. If we continue to chase them, if we drive those werewolves completely crazy, There is no guarantee that there will be no casualties on our side.”
Serena nodded in agreement.
She transformed a bat into the palm of her hand, ignited it with her talent flame, and then controlled it to fly high into the sky—
After a moment, a brilliant white spark bloomed in the night sky, forming the shape of a pair of demon wings.
"Hey, you learn pretty quickly!" Dracula looked at Selina's movements and praised in surprise.
After the short period of teaching just now, Serena seemed to have understood the flexible use of magic and used it in practice.
"Of course." Serena raised her chin proudly, as if little stars were shining in her eyes, "I must learn the magic you used to ignite the Inferi, it's so beautiful!"
Dracula smiled softly and leaned against the jagged wall comfortably.
He looked at the stars in the night sky and the little flames extinguished on the battlefield, waiting for the arrival of the vampire named Tesla.
Several pairs of wings flew across the night sky, and nine high-level vampires appeared on the city top, all kneeling on one knee in front of Dracula and Serena.
"I've met Lord Dracula!"
"Meet Lord Alcatel!"
Their voices all trembled with excitement. Because they haven't seen Dracula in more than a hundred years.
"You all did well tonight, go back and have a good rest." Dracula said a few perfunctory words of relief while turning his gaze to the only new face among them, "Are you new here?"
The vampire in formal clothes was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Dracula.
His face doesn't have the evil charm of a vampire, but instead has a gentle and gentle look. Her hair was meticulously combed into a neat five-part hairstyle, and seemed to be smeared with hair gel. There was a well-trimmed goatee above her mouth.
"Yes, Lord Count." He only looked at Dracula once, then lowered his head again, and said nervously, "I became a glorious vampire forty-eight years ago, and learned about it forty-five years ago. The existence of Dracula's Castle came to seek refuge with Lord Alcatel."
Dracula waved his hand to the other vampires.
"You guys go first, I'll have a few words with the new members," he said.
The other senior vampires left the outer city wall after solemn salutes, spread their wings and disappeared into the night.
Now there are only three vampires left on the city wall: Dracula, Selina and Tesla.
Dracula lowered his head and looked carefully at the nervous Tesla.
The only memory in his mind was Lockhart's own memories. As for the content about Robert's vampire friends, it all relied on Lockhart's memory of conversations with Robert, so he was not sure that this image-conscious newcomer vampire was the person he was looking for.
"Get up, we are just chatting casually." Dracula smiled softly and said to him, "Have you made any friends since you became a vampire?"
Tesla stood up, nervously holding the corners of his formal clothes with both hands, looking down at his feet, still not daring to look at the legendary Dracula.
"Every vampire in the castle is my friend!" he said carefully.
"I'm not telling you that it's useless." Dracula turned around casually, rested his elbows on the grooves of the wall, and asked casually, "I mean, have you ever made friends with any vampires?" Friends from other races?”
Tesla was obviously startled.
After a moment, he said in denial: "Lord Dracula, since I came to the castle, I rarely go out. Where is the chance to make other friends?"
Dracula frowned slightly.
Wasn't he really Robert's friend? If there really is another vampire named Tesla, then this would be too much of a coincidence.
So he looked at Tesla in front of him and asked reluctantly again: "So... you don't actually know a former Auror named Robert?"
Tesla's penis suddenly shrank, and then he suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Lord Dracula, I did not violate the regulations set by Castle Dracula regarding contact between vampires and humans, nor did I tell Robert any secrets of Castle Dracula." He knelt on the ground with one knee, lowered his head, and shouted loudly said. "If you want to punish, just punish me and don't implicate innocent people!"
“…”
Dracula was lost in thought.
Now he was certain that Tesla was Robert's vampire friend he was looking for, but Tesla's excessive behavior left him a little confused.
When did Dracula's Castle have any vampire regulations
He looked at Serena with a questioning expression.
Seeing Dracula's puzzled expression, Serena raised her head proudly.
"I told you not to come back for a hundred years to see the changes in Dracula's castle. Now you don't understand the situation?" She said to Dracula with her chin.
Then she raised her head and walked up to Dracula with her hands behind her back, seemingly very happy.
"Don't you think that when you were managing Castle Dracula before, the vampires in the castle never knew what the rules were, nor did they understand what the code of conduct of a high-quality vampire is?" Serena said happily,
"So when I was managing the castle, I put a lot of thought into setting up a set of tailor-made regulations and a special code of conduct for all the vampires in the castle! All vampires who violate these regulations and codes will be severely punished. Severe punishment!"
"This way, the castle will be much easier to manage, and the reputation of the vampires in our castle among the outside world will no longer be the same as before!"
Serena held her head high, raised the corners of her mouth, and had an arrogant expression on her face that said, "Come on, praise me!"
"Yes, as expected of you!" Dracula gave her a thumbs up.
Serena was even happier.
"But is the castle so difficult to manage? Do you actually need to write down any regulations and codes of conduct yourself?" Withdrawing his thumb, Dracula asked with some confusion, "I remember that I didn't need this kind of thing at all when I was here. It's troublesome. If any vampire dares not to do things according to my wishes, I'll give him a beating."
"You know what I mean, Serena, my rules are rules!"
He raised the corners of his mouth and showed an evil smile to Serena.
Serena's original happy expression disappeared instantly.
"I'm not like you, who can defeat all the vampires alone..." She curled her lips and muttered angrily.
Tesla stood aside with a numb expression, watching the cheap father and daughter bickering here.
He was very unsettled. The impression of Lord Dracula in his imagination that he was powerful, majestic, and just had completely disappeared, leaving only the image in front of him that didn't seem very reliable.
"So he violated the regulations and code of conduct you established?"
Dracula's next question caught Tesla's attention, and he turned his attention to Lord Alcatel.
"What did you do, Tesla?" Serena looked at him and said doubtfully, "You can actually let him, a hands-off shopkeeper, know about you. It seems that you are quite capable!"
Tesla was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained to Serena: "Three years ago, when the relationship between the werewolf group and us gradually improved, I received a task from you to go to Serbia to explore the werewolf forces there. "
"Well, I have the impression." Serena nodded, "I remember that you came back with injuries, but you completed the task well. So did anything else happen in the meantime?"
"Yes." Tesla said in embarrassment, "Actually, I was seriously injured and basically lost the ability to fly. The reason why I was able to come back was because I met a kind wizard who used a wooden boat to fly. I sent him to the Danube and we sailed all the way from Serbia to Romania.”
"We were on the same ship and spent more than a week together... and I also let him know my identity as a vampire. He could even know that my tribe is located in Romania through the end of the voyage... "
Tesla knelt on one knee and said with a heavy expression: "I have violated too many regulations by letting strange wizards know so much information."
"So why didn't you erase the wizard's memory when you left?" Selina asked, "Also, if you choose to suck part of his blood, you will soon regain enough strength to fly back to the vampire stronghold in Romania on your own. . This way, you won’t violate so many regulations.”
"Master Alcatel, the vampire code clearly stipulates that no vampire member is allowed to suck the blood of innocent humans without authorization... That is what the lowest vampires will do when they cannot control their appetite." Tesla said, "I don't want to do something that goes against my identity!"
After hearing his principled and bottom-line words, Dracula showed approval in his eyes, and then looked at Selina with a half-smile.
Serena looked a little embarrassed and looked away silently.
"Then why didn't you erase that wizard's memory?" she asked a little unconvinced.
"I'm sorry, Lord Alcatel. But Robert has been fighting all his life, and now as a lonely old man, I am the only friend left." Tesla said in a low mood, "I don't want him to give him even one I don’t have any friends to die with!”
"But..." Serena wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Dracula.
"Well, I can testify that the wizard named Robert is not a threat to us." Dracula sighed and said with emotion, "And Robert has now lost all memories about Tesla. "
"What?!" Tesla suddenly raised his head and looked at Dracula in disbelief, "Master Dracula, Robert is innocent, he is just an old man plowing the fields!"
"Don't worry." Dracula raised his hand to temporarily calm down Tesla's excitement, "I did not erase Robert's memory."
"If you still want to see his current condition, then come with me."
Tesla nodded quietly.
The next moment, a dark moon enveloped the two men's figures, instantly taking them away from the dark city wall.
Seeing the two people leaving, Serena stamped her feet angrily.
Then she seemed to think of something and secretly took out a small notepad from her pocket. The words "Code of Conduct for Highly Qualified Vampires" are written crookedly on the book.
She stretched out a slender index finger, and a drop of blood slowly appeared on the fingertip.
Serena opened the last page of the book and wrote a line of words crookedly with her index finger -
"Code of Conduct: Emergency Escape: When a vampire encounters an emergency that may threaten his life, he can drink an appropriate amount of blood from nearby humans to ensure his own safety!"
