"Tsk, you know how hard it is, but you still let me run. _Delete′8*墈+book~汪¢, free·read¨"
He turned around and went back to the house to pack up, "Wait for my news."
"No, I'll go with you."
Emlyn frowned and said, "If I go alone, I will be the only one embarrassed if I get rejected. If you go with me, you will be the one embarrassed."
This guy is unexpectedly righteous—it might also be because of Alicia.
"It doesn't matter."
"Okay, if you don't mind, I don't mind either."
Edward patted his shoulder gently, "Which district?"
"North District, Scarlet Bar."
"Oh, I happened to have been there before."
The next second, the two figures twisted, and Emlyn's eyes blurred, and he found himself in the North District, not far away from the Scarlet Bar.
"You were just... traveling through the spirit world?"
Emlyn was shocked, and a thought suddenly occurred to him: I have known him for such a long time, but I still don't know what this guy's strength is?
Tsk, what a mysterious guy!
As soon as the two men stepped into the bar, the vampires around them turned their heads and looked at them. They smelled the scent of fresh blood on Edward, which was much more fragrant than the drink they had in their hands.
However, everyone just glanced at it, and soon they all went back to chatting about their own things and doing their own things. As a group that feeds on human blood, the reason why the vampires can live well in Backlund is because they have set a bottom line among themselves - they will never suck human blood by attacking or injuring people.
No matter how greedy you are, the most you can do is stun the target and absorb a small amount of blood.
Judging from the current state of relations between humans and vampires, most vampires still strictly abide by this bottom line.
Emlyn walked to the bar and tapped the table gently: "Half and half."
The bartender handed Emlyn a glass of wine mixed with blood, then looked at Edward and said, "What would you like to drink, sir?"
Emlyn immediately said, "Forget about him. Is Viscount Ernes here today?"
The bartender shrugged. "Not coming. \x~x`sc~m¢s/.?c·o¨m?"
"Do you know where he went?"
"Please Emlyn, I'm just a bartender, how would I know where the Viscount is?"
Emlyn turned to Edward and said, "Did you hear that?"
Edward asked doubtfully, "Don't you know anyone else?"
"Hey, I usually hang out alone. The last few times I came to the bar, I was just helping you collect your things." Emlyn muttered, "If I had this much time, I'd rather stay in the house with Alicia and Leona."
Leona...is that the new doll given to him?
He held up the glass and drank the bloody wine. "Let's go. I'll come back to help you tomorrow."
Just as I turned around to leave, a voice came over: "Hey, puppet lover, you actually come to the bar too."
The person who came was a man named Larde, who was wearing a neat suit and looked very handsome.
Emlyn snorted, "Suit control!"
Larder smiled proudly, "Now please call me Lord Viscount."
"…"
The muscles on Emlyn's face moved, "Lord Viscount Lalder!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Larder was very happy and said to the bartender, "Give Emlyn a Bloody Mary. It's my treat."
Emlyn explained to Edward in a low voice: "This guy's name is Lard. He used to be like me. He didn't even have a title. He was a fool who was obsessed with suits. He spent all his money on custom-made suits!"
Emlyn's expression and tone were full of disdain.
Edward was speechless: Being obsessed with suits is more normal than being obsessed with dolls, right? Are you still disdainful of him?
Huh, a suit?
Lilith seemed to have said that among the two vampires who captured her, one was wearing a suit?
Is that him?
"Later, he didn't know whether it was good luck... or bad luck, his parents, grandfather and great-grandfather died in accidents one after another, so he was promoted to Viscount. He also had a sister... who was promoted to Earl because of this, and was called 'lucky siblings' by everyone.¨First+Read, Book_Wang\ +Crown\Abandoned? Yue-Read-"
The unique promotion method of the blood clan is that if the elders are not dead, the young people will hardly have the opportunity to be promoted. However, as the elders' sequence becomes higher and higher, they often live longer than the young people. This is probably one of the reasons why many young blood clans lie flat.
Emlyn thought of something at this time, "By the way, the extraordinary materials you got two days ago were sold by him."
Oh? He was the one who sent the "Lilith's leg ring"?
Edward's heart moved and he looked over, just in time to meet Larder's gaze.
Unlike Emlyn who was kept in the dark, Lard had a basic understanding of what happened that night: first, he was inexplicably sent by Lord Nibais to "kidnap" a cat.
Not long after they brought the cat back, Lord Nibais asked them to send the cat back.
In the end, the cat ran away by itself. The three of them were lazy at the time, and were soon taken back and scolded. Then they were asked to deliver the materials and a ring seal to Emlyn in the middle of the night.
Although Lalde was not sure of the truth, he vaguely guessed that the ring... was most likely an apology for "kidnapping" the cat - just thinking about asking a vampire marquis to apologize showed that he was not a simple person.
Now that the target of his apology was standing right in front of him, Lard's first reaction was: hide! The farther away the better! It would be troublesome to be associated with such a person.
"Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first..."
"Viscount Lalder."
Larder paused and forced a smile: "What's wrong?"
"Could you please introduce me to someone..."
Before he could finish his words, Edward suddenly felt someone pinching his butt hard.
His face changed drastically and he quickly stepped aside.
On the other side, Emlyn had the same reaction. He covered his butt and said angrily, "Akasha, what are you doing?"
A woman with short blond hair and a slim leather jacket and a great figure came over. She had a strange smile on her face, which made her pretty face look a little greasy. "Hey Emlyn, your butt is still as soft as before."
She looked at Edward again: "This guy is not bad either."
Edward: "…"
Emlyn clenched his fists: "You... are a woman!"
"Hahaha."
The woman named Akasha laughed, "What's wrong with women?"
She folded her arms, "To be exact, I am a countess! I can do whatever I want!"
At this time, Larde leaned close to her ear and said something. Her eyes flashed and she tilted her chin towards Edward, "Brother, let's talk in the VIP room?" After a pause, she grinned, "Don't worry! I'm not interested in men! They are all brothers~"
The corner of Edward's eye twitched. They said that vampires were an elegant and proud race. What was this?
Chapter 304 Lilith
Scarlet Bar, inside the VIP room.
Akasha took a glass of blood-red wine and drank it in one gulp. Then she took a long breath and said, "I like the taste of this blood. I am sure that the owner of this blood must be a virgin no older than 18!"
She put down her glass and suddenly thought of something, and said hurriedly: "Sorry, I forgot there are humans here. But I can guarantee that the blood here is of legal origin."
Edward didn't respond to this question, but went straight to the point: "Ms. Akasha, do you know that your brother kidnapped my relative some time ago and almost killed her?"
Emlyn sat up straight, looking shocked: What's going on? When did this happen? How come I don't know anything about it?
Lalder said without hesitation: "I am also following the orders of Lord Nibais!"
After a pause, he asked doubtfully, "Didn't your cat...dear one run back on its own at that time?"
"But she was targeted by a thief demigod on the way. If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have been parasitized and killed by him."
Larder was stunned: "Can you blame me for this?"
"If you blood clan hadn't kidnapped her first, she would have stayed safely at home that night. How could she have met that thieving demigod?"
From Edward's perspective, he didn't think he was being unreasonable.
Akasha smiled and said, "But as far as I know, this matter should have ended with you accepting the gift from Lalder."
"certainly."
"So why did you come to see us today..."
Edward said seriously, "Ms. Akasha, I hope the vampires can help us get rid of that thieving demigod."
Akasha crossed her arms, making her already hot body even hotter. "Oh? Are you asking for something? Commissioning something? Or is there some kind of exchange of interests?"
Edward asked tentatively, "What's the difference?"
"A request means we work for free, but you need to owe us a favor. A commission means you pay a sum of money or a material seal or something, and we do something for you. An exchange of interests means something similar, we do something for you, and you do something for me in exchange."
"Which one do you recommend I choose?"
Akasha looked Edward up and down. "I don't care, but the higher-ups seem to want you to choose the first one."
On top?
Edward's heart moved. So it was no coincidence that the blood earl came here. Could it be that the vampire Lilith learned about my conversation with Emlyn in the Harvest Church and ordered her to come here?
Hiss, I'm just a lackey of the Goddess of Night, She shouldn't care so much about it - Edward believed that the Goddess of Night would never tell the vampire Lilith about her specialness, even if they have been allies for thousands of years.
At this moment, Akasha suddenly changed the subject: "You have a grudge against the Rose School, right?"
"What?"
Edward was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I guess so."
"What a coincidence. I have a grudge against them too."
Akasha smiled, "My parents, grandfather, and great-grandfather all died at the hands of the artificial vampires led by the Witch King Karaman. If the prince hadn't intervened in time, their extraordinary characteristics would not have fallen into the hands of Lard and me, and we would not have become viscounts and earls." She grinned happily, "So the blood clan calls us 'lucky siblings'. I think they are right, hahahahahaha."
