"The Sun" Derrick looked at Sirion and said somewhat apologetically:
"Mr. Fate, some issues arose on our way back to Silver City. Although they have been resolved, they still delayed us considerably, preventing us from returning to Silver City on time."
"The vampire extraordinary traits I promised to collect for you may take a few more days before I can recruit a small team to go hunting."
Cyril nodded slightly: "It's alright, I'm not in a hurry."
"vampire?"
Emlyn, who was standing nearby, almost jumped up from his chair as if a key phrase had been triggered: "You're going to hunt vampires?"
Honest "Sun" Derrick was about to nod instinctively, but Cyril beat him to it: "Yes, but we hunt vampires, not bloodstains. You don't need to get so excited."
...In your eyes, aren't those inferior vampires and us noble vampires the same kind of creature?
Emlyn's eyes were still full of suspicion, but his body instinctively shook his head: "No, I'm not excited, just curious, curious!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was being stared at by many people, and they were all looking at him with either curiosity or inquiry.
Why are you all looking at me? Can't it be that I have a vampire friend?
No, why should I be nervous? Shouldn't I, as a noble vampire, be looking down on these short-lived creatures at a time like this?
Thinking of this, he suddenly straightened his back, raised his chin, and said proudly, "Yes, I am a pure vampire."
No one asked him if he was a vampire... He was provoked by the conversation between Mr. "Fate" and Mr. "Sun" and thought they were plotting to hunt down their own kind?
Audrey, acting on her instincts as a "spectator," curiously observed Emlyn's performance.
"So it really is a vampire..." "Magician" Fors curiously examined the new member, his mind flashing back to the information he had seen about vampires from various sources.
After a two-second silence, Cyril suddenly spoke up and asked, "What do you mean by 'impure vampire'?"
"Are those humans who ascended to higher levels by drinking potions hybrids of vampires and humans?"
Emlyn gave him a complicated look, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Both. Within our vampire clan, it mainly refers to those mixed-race individuals who have inherited a small number of traits."
The cult that claims "humans who ascend to godhood by consuming magical potions are called artificial vampires, and most of them are descendants of the primordial moon" is a cult that needs to be eradicated!
Cyril nodded thoughtfully, then changed the subject and asked, "Do you need the characteristics of a vampire? There are quite a few vampires around Silver City who live in the darkness and are covered in pus."
"Although their characteristics are more or less contaminated, you vampires should have a way to clean them."
"Of course." Emlyn nodded, slightly raising his chin, then seemed to realize something was amiss: "The characteristics of vampires who have escaped to other places are mostly in the hands of those damned 'Primordial Moon' followers. How could there still be quite a few in that Silver City?"
"And while artificial vampires are a bit ugly and disgusting, they shouldn't be covered in pus, right?"
He had barely finished speaking when "The Sun" Derrick blurted out, "It's true! Those are creatures corrupted after the Great Cataclysm, now monsters lurking in the darkness!"
"Because we haven't mastered the corresponding potion recipe, we in Silver City have never hunted them."
Cataclysm? Contamination?
Emlyn was somewhat stunned. He knew about the Cataclysm, but there weren't many detailed records in the history of the vampires. He only knew that the vampires at that time shouldn't have been greatly affected.
Could it be that there is still a group of lost vampires in that place called Silver City, who were corrupted during the cataclysm and eventually became the monsters that "the Sun" speaks of, lurking in the darkness?
Wait, where is Silver City? I've never heard of it before.
Cyril glanced at Emlyn, who was deep in thought, then interrupted him, "So, do you need vampire traits? I can sell them to you for a discount?"
"Why did you sell it to me?" Emlyn asked, looking somewhat surprised.
Aren't those corrupted vampires in Silver City? Could it be that this "Fate" man, who is suspected to be a demigod, is also in Silver City now?
Cyril leaned back and said with a smile, "Of course, I've already submitted an acquisition request to Mr. Sun. Even if you need it, you'll only be able to get on the waiting list after me."
"And I will keep buying, so you'll just have to keep waiting in line. You might as well just buy directly from me."
"Even ordinary vampire traits that you don't need yourself can be sold to people in your vampire clan who want to raise offspring but lack the traits, or handed over to important figures in your vampire clan. They certainly won't be stingy with rewards or compensation for you."
...Can it really be like this?
Emlyn's eyes widened, filled with disbelief and a hint of eagerness.
He paused, then looked hesitantly at "The Sun" Derrick and asked, "Does your Silver City really have so many vampire characteristics? Are there barons, or even stronger vampires?"
Derrick nodded honestly, then shook his head and said, "Yes, but I'm not strong enough to hunt such powerful vampires. Even among the monsters that lurk in the darkness, vampires are among the most dangerous creatures."
"They are fast, resilient, poisonous, and skilled in many strange dark magics."
"Even if we recruit a squad, we need a patrol captain-level member to have any chance of hunting them."
Listening to Derrick's description, Emlyn unconsciously raised his chin. If he didn't need to maintain his noble vampire image, he really wanted to shout to everyone:
That's right, we vampires are that powerful. Even if we become monsters, we are still among the strongest monsters.
Although he didn't say what he was really thinking, he still nodded with feigned composure and said, "That is indeed a problem. Even a newly adult ordinary vampire is equivalent to a Sequence 7 Extraordinary, and the kind that is good at fighting."
Does that mean vampires are born as Sequence 7 extraordinary beings?
"Justice" Audrey and "Magician" Fors, who were collecting materials for Sequence 7 potions, suddenly felt a little envious.
"The Sun" Derrick didn't react much to his words. It was mentioned in the general education courses in Silver City that many extraordinary species are born powerful.
For example, the giants they know well in Silver City, the legendary dragons, and the vampire in front of them.
"The Hanged Man" Alger suddenly spoke up: "I have a clue about the characteristics left behind by a vampire baron. He died in a sudden conflict, and the characteristics eventually fell into the hands of a great pirate."
"If you are interested, you can reclaim this property and concoct it into a potion. This would be considered as inheriting the legacy of that vampire baron, preventing the vampire's power from being lost."
As Sirion watched the eloquent "Hanged Man," he couldn't help but think to himself:
Did it fall into the hands of a great pirate?
Basically, the unfortunate vampire clashed with the great pirate and was killed by him, but because he didn't understand the vampire path, he was stuck with his special ability, right?
Inheriting the legacy, preventing the vampire clan's power from being lost... Emlyn suddenly felt that what this "Hanged Man" said made a lot of sense, so he quickly asked, "What price do I need to pay?"
Alger, the "Hanged Man," chuckled and said, "Between 4000 and 5000 pounds. I'll have to wait until I find that great pirate to find out the exact price."
£5000?
Emlyn's eyes widened, and he almost cried out in astonishment. He suddenly realized that he didn't really want to inherit the baron's estate anymore.
With such a large sum of money, I could bring home all those dolls I've been eyeing for a long time, and even dress each of them in several new outfits!
No, I can't let down the progenitor's favor, or the glory of the vampire clan.
But I don't have that much money either.
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned to look at Cyril and asked, "When can we trade for the extraordinary properties of vampires?"
If I hand over the traits I gained from the party to the vampires, Lord Nibais will definitely be generous in reimbursing me for that expense. I can then inflate the prices a bit and save up the money quickly.
Cyril glanced at "The Sun" Derrick beside him: "We'll have to wait until Mr. 'The Sun' returns to Silver City before we can organize a hunt. That will take at least until next week, or the week after."
Klein, the "Fool" at the head of the long, weathered table, watched this scene and couldn't help but mutter to himself:
You guys are treating vampires like suckers... I really want to get involved, I'm short on money too.
"Justice" Audrey watched this scene with great interest, and only after their exchange ended did she speak up: "Everyone, do you have any news about the fruit of the Elder Tree or the blood of the Mirror Dragon?"
Emlyn immediately raised his hand: "Yes."
"The fruit of the Elder Tree is priced between 600 and 700 pounds, and the blood of the Mirror Dragon is no more than 100 pounds, but I don't remember the exact price."
"But you need to pay me an extra 50, no, 100 pounds, as compensation for the risks and time I've taken."
This was information he had seen before when he was helping Detective Sherlock Moriarty look for extraordinary materials.
"make a deal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Audrey immediately agreed to the deal.
Having experienced the severe smog last week, she now has a very strong thirst for power.
Only by becoming stronger can we protect our families when real danger comes.
For me, the most important thing right now is to advance to Sequence 7... Anyway, this amount of money isn't much, and since Mr. Moon is also short of money for the baron's inheritance that Mr. Hanged Man mentioned, there's no need to annoy the other party by haggling and cause the deal to fall through.
As Emperor Roselle once said, a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Seeing that Miss Justice had completed the transaction so quickly, Magician Fors' eyes lit up and he looked at Moon Emlyn and said, "My needs are the same as last time: meteorite crystal and blood crystal of the Lava Octopus."
Emlyn felt his luck was on his side today, and raised his hand, saying, "I know where to find meteorite crystals, but I need to talk to them first. The price should be about the same as the fruit of the Elder Tree."
Alger, the "Hanged Man," chimed in, "I'm going to a party at sea soon, and maybe some Lava Octopus blood crystals will appear."
.
"Okay." Fors nodded, both excited and troubled.
She was excited because she had obtained the information about the materials she needed so quickly, but she was also troubled because she didn't have the money for the time being.
Should I borrow money from Viscount Grelint or Miss Audrey again? But I just paid back the last loan.
Seeing that no one spoke, Emlyn then asked about his earlier question: "How are we supposed to complete the deal?"
Audrey smiled faintly as she recounted, "Through offerings and prayers to Mr. 'The Fool.'"
After she finished speaking, she made a request to the head of the table, the "Fool," and had the detailed ritual requirements manifested on two parchments, which appeared directly in Emlyn's hands.
Emlyn stared at the contents of the parchment that had suddenly appeared in his hand, and paused for a moment before belatedly realizing that the Tarot Society, witnessed by Mr. Fool, was completely different from ordinary secret organizations.
Praise be to Mother... Praise be to the moon, this is the secret organization that befits my identity as the savior of the vampire clan, and that I should join.
He glanced around, taking in everyone on either side of the long table.
Perhaps, like me, they all represent different forces and have formed a stable alliance under the witness of Mr. "Fool".
The "sun" comes from a Silver City I've never heard of before. Perhaps I can ask a vampire who likes to study history.
Both "Justice" and "The Magician" are in Backlund; the former seems quite wealthy, while "The Hanged Man" is active at sea—well, he seems like a good guy.
"Fate" is suspected to be a demigod, or close to a demigod, and should be the strongest among us besides Mr. "The Fool".
There's also the gloomy "world." He's so gloomy that you can't see anything in him. Judging from their conversation just now, he seems to be very good at gathering intelligence.
Just as this thought began to wander, he saw "the world" suddenly look up at him.
Emlin chuckled, then looked away, feeling the awkwardness of being caught red-handed gossiping about someone behind their back.
"The World" looked at "The Moon" Emlyn, who was looking away guiltily, and silently labeled him as not very smart.
He then looked at Audrey, "Justice," on the other side and said in a hoarse voice, "I have a clue about the residual characteristics of a psychiatrist. Miss Justice, would you like it?"
"Of course," Audrey replied almost without hesitation.
It seems Miss Justice's finances have improved quite a bit... Muttering to himself, Klein continued, manipulating "The World," "This will take some time, maybe a month, or even two months."
"no problem."
Audrey's tone remained unchanged... Anyway, Susie hadn't digested the "Mind Reader" potion yet.
Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Sirion slowly raised his hand and said, "I have a batch of extraordinary traits that I need to sell. Would you rather buy traits or magical items?"
A batch?
Everyone froze, and a terrifying image of "Fate" standing on a pile of corpses picking up loot flashed through their minds.
