In the night of late autumn, there are no stars in the sky, only a bright moon hangs in the night sky, and the clear brilliance of the moonlight covers the whole earth, bringing a ray of light to this dark night.
Workers who have been tired for a year will go to rest early, and in a place most people don't know, a group of "people" wake up and start their lives.
In the depths of the dense forest far away from the city, an old castle stands in it.
On the second floor of the old castle, a young man sat at the window, admiring the moonlight outside the window.
Then under the bright moonlight, one can vaguely see the clothes on his body. Outside the white silk shirt is a light gray silk waistcoat. The silk thread of the same color embroiders gorgeous dark patterns on the waistcoat. A dark gray velvet coat, black Satin breeches, and a pair of calfskin riding boots of various colors.
The whole person looks relaxed and lazy, with an indescribable casualness, but even so, no one underestimates him, because the compelling aura on his body makes people know that this person is definitely not an unknown person .
Gradually, footsteps sounded from far to near, and not long after, the door was knocked lightly three times and then pushed open, a middle-aged man walked in slowly, his every move showed good upbringing.
Finally, he walked up to the young man and saluted him respectfully, "Master, we have a visitor."
These four words made the young man frown, and his face became a little impatient, but he still asked, "Which family is it this time?"
"Back to Master, this time it's Toreador." Hearing the young man's question, the middle-aged man answered honestly.
This answer was unexpected, he thought it was the people from the Devil Party who came to chatter, but he didn't expect that the person who came this time turned out to be the Secret Party, and Toreador who was famous for his elegance and passion.
"Since it's Toreador, let's meet." After saying this, the young man turned his head and continued to admire the moonlight outside the window, as if nothing attracted his attention more than the moonlight outside.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man saluted again, and then went out to meet the host's guests.
Not long after, the middle-aged butler brought a young man up to the second floor. He knocked on the door lightly, waiting for the master's answer.
"Come in." The voice of the young man in the room was a little casual, but it made the later one a little more serious.
Even the voice carried endless pressure, which made the young man feel a little more solemn.
Following the middle-aged butler into the room, the young man quickly walked up to the young man and knelt down on one knee, "Your Highness, Edward of Toreador is honored to have your permission to enter Fort Collins."
The young man didn't speak, but there were a large number of people kneeling in front of him. They were dressed in exaggerated costumes, with slightly messy long hair, and a pair of green eyes. There was a bit of decadence in their elegance, but Extraordinary.
The young man still didn't speak, but stretched out his left hand and handed it to the man who called himself Edward.
Seeing this scene, Edward heaved a sigh of relief, stretched out his hands to respectfully take the other's hand, placed a pious kiss on the emerald ring on his index finger, and then stood up under the other's signal.
"You're very nice." Looking at a little guy who was hard to get a gift from, the young man had a satisfied smile on his face.
Edward was a little excited to receive such a compliment from the young man. It was beyond his expectation to see His Highness today. He did not expect that he not only saw His Highness, but also received such affirmation.
It's... so exciting!
"Tell me why you came." Because he was relatively satisfied with Edward, he was a little more tolerant than before, and he didn't let the other party throw it out without even saying a word.
intention
Hearing the other party's question, Edward was stunned for a while. He didn't have any intention of coming. The only intention of coming today is to come gradually to become His Highness.
He has always known that there is a noble Highness living in Fort Collins. He wanted to visit several times, but was stopped by his father, and he still sneaked out today.
After thinking for a long time, Edward finally decided to tell the truth, such a high and mighty Highness probably doesn't like others to lie.
"I... I just heard about His Highness from my father, so, that's why I want to meet His Highness." After saying this, Edward looked at the young man with fanatical admiration in his eyes.
However, this kind of answer made the young man very surprised. Originally, he thought that Toreador was also involved in that matter, but he didn't expect that this little guy came to see him for this purpose.
"Sit down," Edward's words deeply pleased the young man, a smile appeared on his face, and he motioned for him to sit down, "John, prepare a bottle of red wine."
Hearing this, the butler looked at Edward in surprise. There are not many people who can be entertained by the master. This little guy really has some skills.
However, regardless of the master's decision to entertain this little guy, as a qualified butler, he will earnestly carry out any order of the master, salute the young man, and then go to the wine cellar to get the master's collection.
Edward, who was entertained by the young man, was a little at a loss. Although he had heard that His Highness was of noble blood and was angry and powerful, he had never heard that His Highness was so approachable.
Not long after, John walked in with a bottle of red wine and two goblets, but his face was a little ugly. Obviously, something happened during the time of fetching the wine.
"Master Bra's family Duo Lun is visiting." Butler John has a very bad impression of this Duo Lun, because every time Duo Lun visits, the master will be in a bad mood, and anyone who makes the master feel bad, John will be very disgusted .
"Duo Lun?" Mentioning this person, the young man's tone was full of impatience, "Didn't he just come here three days ago, why are you here now?"
"Master, Lord Duo Lun said that he would give you a very precious gift." John snorted at this. With the wealth of the master, who can say a very precious gift.
Such an answer made the young man even more irritable.
The so-called reaching out and not hitting people with smiling faces, now Duo Lun comes as a gift, if you don't let people in, it will be a loss of face, but the young man really doesn't want to see Duo Lun.
"Bring him up." He waved helplessly, the young man knew that if he refused today, there would be a gap between him and the Bra family.
Although he is not afraid of these things, he really hates trouble.
A few minutes later, John brought up a man. This man was completely different from Edward. Edward was full of youthful vigor, and his figure was even more slender. However, the man who came up this time was a completely different type. You can also feel the strength of the muscles under the clothes wrapped in the clothes. The short light brown hair looks capable and calm, and the almost dark blue eyes fall straight on the young man's body.
He knelt down on one knee a few steps forward, but kissed lightly on the ring of the left hand of the young man in the early stage, "Good day, Your Highness."
"Good day, Your Excellency Duo Lun." Withdrawing his hand, the young man's eyes flashed a look of disgust. He couldn't like this person at all.
Duo Lun naturally saw the performance of the young man, but he didn't seem to see anything, with a respectful and polite smile on his face.
He saluted the young man, and then pulled the young man who was following him over, "Your Highness, this is what I told you, a very precious gift."
After hearing Duo Lun's introduction, the young man looked at the young man with the so-called gift, and his eyes gradually became unfriendly.
This young man seems to be only in his twenties. According to the material of his clothes, standing posture, and good etiquette, it can be judged that this man has a good family background. He is slender and obviously underage, with an attractive The faint fragrance and sweetness let the young man know that this young man has never been close to anyone.
But what really made the young man look bad was his appearance. He had long golden hair, eyes like the sea, and that delicate appearance that was suitable for both men and women, with a somewhat charming temperament in his coldness. The older sister Sheila is almost exactly the same.
"I don't like this gift at all!" His cold eyes fell on Duo Lun, and the silver pupils with the same hair color became thinner because of anger, which made people shudder.
Hearing the young man's words, the young man showed a look of humiliation on his face.
Today, he was sent around like a gift, which had severely damaged his self-esteem, but now, this person unexpectedly refused politely.
How can young people bear this!
"Your Excellency, hello, I'm Salman Shef Harlanet." Having said that, the young man continued with some pride, "Prince of the Harlan Empire."
However, what he didn't know was that such a proud self-introduction would only make his situation worse, because in the eyes of the vampires, human nobles were really nothing.
Their long lives have allowed them to accumulate countless wealth, and any blood race entering human society is an incomparably wealthy nobleman.
"Duo Lun, this is the gift from you? It seems that you haven't adjusted it well." The goblet in his hand was shaking, and the red liquid exuded a sweet smell with his movements.
And these words fell on Salman's ears like a resounding slap in the face. He told the other party his identity and got such a response.
However, Salman can't do anything now, because he has been abandoned by his own family and his own country, just because that devil-like man said casually, and he was sent to that man like a gift hands.
"I just thought His Highness would like it, so I took this little guy from the hands of those humans." Duo Lun continued, "If His Highness doesn't like it, then stay and be a blood slave." Well, according to Your Excellency John, His Highness seems to have not sucked blood for a long time, this person should be a good blood slave."
Clean, with rare blood, such a person is indeed suitable to be a blood slave.
The conversation between the two people made Salman's face paler, blood slave, the other party actually asked him to be a blood slave.
Although he didn't know what a blood slave was, just relying on the word "slave" would not be a good thing!
But he has no right to refuse, because now he doesn't even have his life in his hands anymore.
"Of course, I hope His Highness will adopt him as a descendant. After all, His Highness has been alone for so many years, it is really lonely."
Descendants
Hearing these two words, the young man chuckled, "Descendants? What kind of things do you think I need? Brother Yinuoqi and sister Xila have descendants, but what will happen!"
Edward on the side was shocked when he heard the young man's words. He knew the identity of this Highness.
For a long time, all the vampires knew that there was a noble highness living in Fort Collins, and all the older vampires kept secret the name of that highness, so he couldn't figure it out.
But today, Edward finally understands why the older blood clan dare not mention the name of this highness, because he is the only remaining second-generation blood clan—Elande, the only one left behind by the three second-generation blood clans back then!
Hearing Erlande's words, Duo Lun's face was a bit ugly, and the things of that year cannot be mentioned, and it would be a disaster if it was mentioned.
Finally, Duo Lun bowed to Ireland and bid farewell. He knew that staying today would not change anything, and would only make His Highness's impression of him worse and worse.
"Your Highness, I'm taking my leave too. I'll visit you in the future." After Duo Lun left, Edward also got up to leave. Now he needs to calm down and digest the identity of this Highness. He never thought that this Highness turned out to be the second Generation blood.
When everyone left, Edward signaled John to take the man away. He didn't want to see this man, at least not now!
"Your Excellency Salman, this will be your room from now on. If you need anything, just tell me. Of course, if you can, please try not to go out, and don't bother the master," John said with a smile on his face. She smiled gently, but her eyes were cold, "Please never do things that annoy the master, otherwise your life will be in danger."
Salman was very satisfied when he heard the first few words, but he felt a kind of humiliation when he heard the last few words, "I am a human being, not your slave!"
"Your Excellency Salman, haven't you recognized your identity yet? When Lord Duo Lun sent you here, you were already the master's blood slave. Everything about you will belong to the master. If you still can't Recognize your identity, and I will help you recognize it."
John's voice was still very gentle, but when Salman heard and recognized these two words, his body trembled involuntarily.
At this time, I remembered what the man named Duo Lun said before.
"In Fort Collins, you must be obedient, and don't disobey anyone's orders, otherwise, the consequences will be unbearable for you. The butler is a good trainer. He will not let you die, but will only make you worse off. die."
Thinking of this, Salman shuddered and walked into the room slowly.
He knows that now he can only compromise, if he wants to leave alive, if he wants to be free, he must first compromise, and he can only leave when the enemy relaxes his guard!
However, what Salman didn't know was that without the owner's consent, it would be impossible to leave this forest, or even leave Fort Collins.
After cleaning up the entire castle, John came to Ireland's room again, "Master, are you going hunting today?"
Unlike most vampires, his master doesn't like keeping vampires in captivity.
Perhaps it was because the power was strong enough, his master had very little need for blood, just going out to hunt occasionally was enough to maintain his life, and his bloodthirsty nature would not get the upper hand.
"No, I'm not in the mood today." He was full of anger because of Duo Lun's appearance today, and he was still in the mood to hunt.
Hearing Erlande's words, John smiled helplessly, took out a gray wool cloak from the closet and put it on him, "Master, if you are in a bad mood, you have to go out to relax, otherwise your mood will deteriorate if you continue like this." It's getting worse."
Erlande thought for a while, and John's words were actually reasonable, so he nodded and got up, and walked out of the castle slowly.
Ireland went out today not so much for hunting, but for relaxation. When he met someone who made him unhappy, he should go out to change his mood.
In the pitch-dark forest, the voice of the night owl sounded. Such an environment made Erlande's heart gradually calm down.
During this period of time, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he was always abnormally impetuous, his chest was stuffy, as if something was missing, but he didn't know what it was that made him missing, he only knew that he seemed to be Forgot something very important.
But if you look back carefully, the thousands of years of time turned out to be coherent, with nothing missing, so how little is there
It seemed that the heavens were having trouble with Erlande, and when he finally felt relieved, an "uninvited guest" appeared in front of him.
"Vampire?" The other party looked at Erlande with scrutiny in his eyes, and his tone was full of contempt, especially when he saw his young appearance clearly, it was a bit more emphatic not to write.
Cut, it's just one. I thought it was a big fish, but it was really disappointing.
Similarly, when the other party was looking at him, Erlande was also looking at the other party.
"Half?" Sensing the breath coming from the other party, Erlande instantly knew the other party's identity, "a child born to a human woman."
Erlande would not be mistaken for the aura of the powerful blood nobleman, but the aura of the half in front of him was obviously something he had never felt before, so in just a moment, Erlande knew the identity of the other party.
Originally, he wanted to insult Erlande, but he didn't want to be humiliated by the other party who found out his identity. Hughes felt that his face was shameless, so he took out a pistol, and pointed at him without hesitation. Ireland fired a shot.
The silver bullet engraved with charms turned into a stream of light under the moonlight and flew straight towards Eland.
Seeing Erlande standing there "stupidly", not even knowing how to hide, Hughes's face was full of smiles.
He is a blood hunter, but because of his pedigree, his ability is far inferior to that of his companions. Others have long been able to hunt and kill high-level blood races, even noble blood races, but he can only hunt and kill some low-level blood races and even nobles. .
However, the next scene let Hughes know what is incredible.
That one didn't dodge, nor was it hunted, but stretched out a hand, that hand was slender, white, bloodless, and looked extremely weak, but it was this weak hand that effortlessly lifted the flying The silver bullet aimed at him was in his hand.
It's over, he miscalculated the opponent's strength!
Now Hughes finally knew that he had misjudged the opponent's strength. This vampire was nothing at all, but a blood nobleman. He must at least have the strength of an earl or higher, otherwise, it would be impossible to catch the silver bullet!
"What a stupid person." Looking at the man whose eyes were full of astonishment and despair, Erlande suddenly had some appetite. "Now the positions of the hunter and the prey have been reversed!"
After saying this, Erlande's lips slowly approached the opponent's neck, and a pair of canine teeth broke through the surrounding of the lips. Just when he opened his mouth to bite down, for some reason, a kind of reluctance appeared in his heart.
I don't want to bite him, or it should be said that the person who wants to bite is not him.
All of a sudden, there was a burst of anger in his heart, and he stretched out his hand to hold the other party's neck, and there was a click, and Hughes' neck snapped. Looking at the dead man, Eland seemed to throw away a broken piece Throwing the person in his hand to the ground like a rag.
Forget it, let's go back to Fort Collins, it's even more unpleasant to be outside!
However, what Erlande didn't know was that after he left, a person slowly came out from behind the big tree not far away.
He was wearing a black slim robe, with a silver cross pendant on his chest, and his peaceful eyes gave him an aura of abstinence.
No, perhaps it should not be said that his eyes are peaceful, but indifferent, without the slightest warmth, and no figure of anyone can stop in his pupils.
Obviously, this man is a priest.
Looking at Xue Lie who had lost his breath on the ground, he said lightly, "May your soul be with the Lord", and then looked in the direction where Eland left just now.
That person... was so special, so special... that for a certain moment, his heartbeat seemed to be different.
Blood race
They should meet again!
Thinking of this, the pastor also turned and left. Next time, we should meet soon.
After both of them left, the body of the dead blood hunter slowly appeared flames and began to ignite spontaneously. After a while, the body disappeared completely, leaving only a pile of white ash on the ground, which would be blown away by the wind up.
After that, the kitten with wings appeared in mid-air, looked at Edward's distant defense line and muttered to himself, [Master Host...] That's right, this kitten is 001, although he can't meet Lin Zicheng in this world , and can't help him, but it can still do it secretly. Anyway, the main system will turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.
After all, it was the one that caused Del's trouble, and if he didn't let it do anything, he wouldn't feel at ease.
However, now he feels a little relieved. After a day of observation, it has already believed the words of the host. Even if he has no memory, he can complete the task very well.
[Master Host, see you in the next world. ] After saying this, 001 disappeared from where he was.
And Eland, who had already returned to Fort Collins, didn't know this at all. He went straight back to his bedroom, jumped into the coffin and went to sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Erlande woke up from the dream, feeling that the whole person was not in a good state.
I slept through the night last night, but I was tormented in dreams all night.
In the dream, there was always someone calling his name. Although he couldn't hear it clearly, he could be sure that the person calling was not Erlande, but for some reason, he was sure that the person calling was his own name. .
The voice seemed very urgent, calling him again and again, which made him want to respond, but Dan didn't know how to respond.
In this way, he woke up after being disturbed by the "nightmare" all night.
"Master, what do you want for breakfast today?" Seeing Erlande going downstairs, John felt a little strange, but he still stepped forward to salute, and then asked what the master would like to have for breakfast today.
"same as usual."
Hearing Edland's answer, John saluted and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. The medium-rare lamb chops and a glass of special red wine were enough for the host to have a delicious breakfast.
Of course, this breakfast was delicious for Eland, but it was a torment for Salman.
The medium-rare lamb chops had a strong smell of blood, which made Salman, who had not woken up early in the morning, already feel a strong discomfort in his stomach.
"Your Excellency Salman, what would you like for breakfast?"
"As long as it is vegetarian, anything is fine." The smell of blood in the room made Salman feel like throwing up, and now he continues to be vegetarian to suppress the nausea.
Such an uncertain answer made John feel a little bit difficult. In the end, he could only serve him a salad and saw that the other party was still satisfied. John breathed a sigh of relief. As the master's butler, he must satisfy the master at all times.
After breakfast, Salman proposed to go around, even if someone was watching, but Eland refused.
"Why can't I go out, I'm not a prisoner!" Salman lost control after several days of depression, and even yelled at Eland.
For a moment, both Erlande and John's expressions turned ugly.
Immediately, Salman regretted it, he still wanted to leave here, how could he be so impulsive!
"Indeed, you are not a prisoner," finally, before Salman felt like he was about to suffocate, Erlande opened his mouth, but every word he said hurt Salman's self-esteem, " You are just a slave, Your Excellency Salman Shef Harlanet, and now you seem to have not realized your identity."
Taking a deep breath, Salman regained his composure, and looked at Eland with indifferent eyes, "I, Salman Shef Harlanet, the prince of the Harran Empire, this is always It won't change."
Ask: What is the best way to get a person to surrender
Answer: Destroy all his pride!
"Prince? Are you sure you are still a prince now?" Erlande's voice was full of mockery, "Aren't you willing to face reality now? When you were given to Doron as a gift, you He is no longer the prince of the Harlan Empire."
Eland's voice fell into Salman's ears with bewitching words.
So, is he now abandoned
"But don't worry, they will never forget you, because your existence has brought them countless benefits." The amount of assets in the hands of the blood race is unimaginable to ordinary humans, because it is accumulated over time of.
For people, it takes several generations or even dozens of generations to accumulate such wealth, and this can only be done if there are no prodigal sons in the family.
For the blood race, accumulating wealth is just a means to pass the time.
It is conceivable that Duo Lun paid a lot of money in exchange for this thing that looked very similar to Sister Sheila.
How could the people of Harlan Empire forget him, maybe they want to sell him again!
Salman trembled when he heard his words. He remembered how his parents got a fortune from Doron's injury on the day he was beaten away.
I still remember looking at his greedy eyes when he left. Now that I think about it, they wished that he could escape back and sell it again at that time!
With this thought, Salman was terrified, he didn't want to become the family's money-making tool again!
"John, take it down and train it properly. If the training is not good, send it back to the Harlan Empire and tell them that defective products will be returned."
What Eland said was another knowing blow to Suleman.
As a prince of the royal family, he turned out to be a defective product in others' mouths, how could he accept it, and what frightened him the most was what kind of bad luck he would suffer if he was sent back this time.
Sure enough, in the next few days, Salman became much more honest, no matter what order John gave, he would earnestly implement it without any compromise.
Seeing Salman's performance, Erlande was finally satisfied, um... Maybe he can bring this little guy to the next blood clan gathering to let everyone get to know each other.
Of course, this idea just passed away in a flash, and was forgotten by Erlande in a blink of an eye.
After a month of training, although Salman's aristocratic pride has not disappeared, but at least he will bow his head obediently like a little slave when facing Erlande.
"John, you did a good job." Looking at Salman who has become much more well-behaved, Erlande nodded in satisfaction. There are still half a month before the annual grand event of the upper class. He needs Go with one person.
Obviously John is not suitable, and now Salman may be a good choice.
With a unisex appearance, obedient and well-behaved personality, and a noble and proud temperament, even if such a person is taken out at an upper-class party, it is not considered a shame.
