Chapter 165 Chapter 83 City of Blood (Part 1)
Miss Verafia, propped up by Ig underneath her, held her little head with her small hand, her big eyes watching the tall man walking closer.
The man called Claude was flanked by over a dozen Blood Race Knights with powerful auras. Besides Yucilaka, with whom she had interacted many times, the rest were all titled powerhouses, and there were even several powerful Blood Kin of Crystal Rank.
Claude, at the forefront, despite restraining his aura, the subtle fluctuations distorting the space around his body were enough to prove that his rank had long since reached Star Rank!
“These people… although their auras are powerful, their foundations are not very good, even their vitality is dim. Having reached titled ranks like Platinum and Crystal, their lives are actually being eroded by the power of the Blood Race.”
Miss Verafia blinked her eyelashes, raised her big eyes again, and muttered to herself.
“If it were in the castles of the Blood Race in the past, they probably wouldn’t even qualify as the lowest-level blood servants. At most, they would be treated as seasoned drinks by vampires.”
“What do you mean, Young Lady…?” Although Verafia was on top of him, the girl was not heavy, so Ig still had the strength to speak.
Verafia jumped off him with a “thump” and landed on the ground. She curved her gorgeous golden eyes, clapped her small hands, and said cheerfully.
“Of course, these few petty thieves have only reached this point in the past few years by relying on Oran’s blood. Looking at it this way, it’s no wonder they are so interested in Oran’s legacy and this little vampire.”
Ig’s gaze shifted to the Blood Race girl beside him. She slightly raised her face, illuminated by the cold moonlight, and her pair of blood-red gem-like eyes flashed with blood light.
The Blood Race girl’s voice was no longer thin as before, but high and stern, full of the oppression of rank.
“Claude, according to etiquette, you should kneel and repent for your reckless actions. If not…”
“If you cannot control the authority of the bloodline at this moment? Young Lady, your power is not complete, and my body possesses the origin of your father. If you wish to impose the punishment of blood upon me… with your current self, it is absolutely impossible.”
Claude shook his head and said, “Of course, Young Lady, as you can see, your father’s power is far beyond what I can bear. If it weren’t for those people, I might have met you earlier.”
Verafia turned her scorching golden eyes to look at the other party.
Among the Blood Race, the oppression of bloodline rank was an insurmountable gap. Even a lower-ranking Blood Kin, facing a young high-ranking Blood Race, would not have the slightest thought of overstepping, let alone between the same bloodline.
Claude and Elielle could both be considered descendants born from Oran’s bloodline, and Elielle, according to Verafia’s perception, undoubtedly possessed an origin very close to Oran’s, and was even born directly from his blood. In the past, she might have been called a princess of the Blood Race.
Therefore, Claude, who shared the same origin, called her “Young Lady,” and the words of this Star Rank thief leader probably meant that he had long intended to devour Elielle to raise his own rank, thus avoiding the erosion of the power of the Blood Race Progenitor Oran, who was close to a god.
Elielle stared intently at the other party and suddenly spoke.
“You deserve to suffer from burning blood.”
“You don’t need to worry about that, Young Lady. Perhaps after today, this curse will be resolved?”
Claude, not angry, said with a smile. He suddenly turned his gaze to the golden-haired girl on the other side.
“Miss Elishia, the daughter of the Golden Lion, the beautiful title of ‘Golden Flower of the Kingdom,’ even I still admire it. Thank you for allowing me to witness your beauty with my own eyes.”
“Such a tone… do you think you have victory in hand?”
The pure white long sword in Elisia’s slender hand shimmered with light. The girl’s beautiful face looked a little serious, she shook her beautiful head: “However, I never thought that the Bloodwind Blade rampant in Aslandt would have such strength.”
“If the Duke were still here, or if Lord Linton could join forces with you, then I, a mere insignificant person, would be nothing.”
Claude revealed his own cards, “Of course, what you said about victory in hand is certainly not the case. Miss Elishia, from beginning to end, I never had the thought of being your enemy.”
“Oh? Bloodwind Blade, the darkness of the sky at this moment cannot obstruct our vision. You attacked Rubiel, but you say you are not far from being my enemy?”
“You are the Duke’s daughter. While Lord Dawn is away, you control the power of this entire city. This merely allows us to have a platform for equal dialogue. Miss Elishia, you are allowing Lord Linton to act recklessly, are you not also trying to find the ruins of the former City of Blood at this opportunity?”
“City of Blood… Hmph.”
Elisia said, and suddenly raised her golden eyes, “So, Bloodwind Blade, you are saying all of this to me, are you intending to seek cooperation with me?”
“Of course. Miss Elishia, even if you possess the ‘key,’ you can never open this lost city.”
Elisia glanced sideways. Charle, beside her, raised his face and gave a slight smile to the girl who suddenly turned her big eyes to stare at him.
“Miss Verafia?”
“Hey! You guy, you were just fierce to me, and now you’re pushing me out!”
A strand of golden hair on Miss Verafia’s little head, as soft as silk, stood up, and she raised her little face, shouting angrily.
“Just relying on Miss Verafia alone, you are probably no match for the Bloodwind Blade. I think you wouldn’t want to let such an opportunity slip through your fingers.”
“Tch, it’s just a vampire inheritance, do you think this young lady is as rare as you humans?”
Miss Verafia pouted and shouted. However, in everyone’s eyes, it was obviously a stubborn refusal to admit defeat.
Of course, Ig was already very familiar with his young lady’s tsundere nature, and he could only smile in his heart.
Soon, the girl finally put aside her pride, “Elielle, what do you say?”
The Blood Race girl looked at her, paused for a few moments, then shook her head and said.
“The City of Blood has sunk into the void, and I don’t know its coordinates… and, it’s not actually located in Rubiel City as you think. Verafia, if you are really interested in your father’s legacy, you can only cooperate with Claude.”
“Hey, I already said that I don’t care about such things! This young lady is asking if you want to go?”
Miss Verafia suddenly put on an embarrassed and angry look, making Elielle slightly stunned, “You mean, me?”
“Miss Verafia, as a descendant of the Blood Progenitor, how can you not be moved by your father’s ruins?”
Charle said suddenly. Verafia stopped her tone, her delicate brows couldn’t help but furrow slightly, and Elielle beside her nodded silently.
“In that case…”
Claude’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Going to the ‘City of Blood,’ Miss Verafia, even if you and Elishia are added together, you still have no room to refuse. All of this does not allow you any choice.”
Claude’s eyes flashed with greed as he looked at the girl, then immediately devoured it. His forceful voice did not allow for any refusal.
He was no longer willing to hide his demands.
“You dare to say that to this young lady!”
From the air came the gritted teeth of a certain proud young lady who had never been wronged before.
Claude smiled coldly, then with a wave of his big hand, not far behind him, a broken spatial tunnel was drawn straight!
“Now, please set off.”
