Chapter 125: Human Forms

"Monkeys... I suppose that comparison suffices. They exist solely to serve, for what other purpose could they possibly have?"

Elizalina's voice carried an air of disdain, dismissing the Strigoi as inferior beings.

Alicarde wasn't entirely clear on the relationship between vampires and Strigoi, so he decided to probe further.

"So, you don't compensate them for any work they do?"

Elizalina shot him a cold glare, her eyes narrowing slightly as if he had insulted her.

"The fact that they are alive is payment enough. We allow them to live beneath our cities. What more could they possibly require? Occasionally, we offer them some carcasses to share with the ghouls."

Tilting his head, Alicarde blinked in mild surprise.

"They live underground, and you keep them well-fed by supplying them with a limitless amount of dead flesh?"

Confused by his misunderstanding, Elizalina felt the need to clarify.
