Chapter 644 -423: The Bygone Years of the Blood Clan – Part 2
One day later,
Frost Blood Castle, Dining Hall,
“Awooo!”
In her small white bat form, Angela buried her entire body in the massive feast on the dining table and started to devour the food.
Her tiny stomach was like a bottomless pit, as the food and fruits on the table rapidly disappeared, yet her belly showed no sign of change.
In the dining hall, servants dressed in pure black skillfully cleared the empty plates in front of Angela and brought in freshly made dishes.
From their unsurprised expressions and proficient movements, it seemed they had often dealt with such situations before.
For Angela, even though she had grown tired of the meals prepared by the chefs of Frost Blood Castle, she was very hungry having just recovered from a weakened state, and naturally didn’t mind this problem anymore.
Being able to eat was good enough!
Lis had also been injured not long ago, so Angela felt that it was better not to bother Lis at this time.
She would make up for it later!
Marion leisurely sliced the medium-rare steak in front of him, paying no attention to Angela, who was eating and drinking heavily.
“I didn’t expect you would encounter a Legendary-level Vampire.”
“In a sense, you’re quite lucky too!”
Facing Marion’s teasing, Lis didn’t mind; he was busy dealing with the steak in front of him.
He wasn’t accustomed to those rare steaks; for him, one cooked to medium-well was just about right.
“Next time there’s such an opportunity, I’ll definitely call you.”
“I’d rather not.”
Marion shook his head, smiling as he said,
“I’d rather not. I can’t do what you did, escaping from the hands of a Legendary Strongman.”
“Crossing nearly half the Bolin Kingdom to get here, hey!”
After finding out Lis had come to Frost Blood Castle, Marion had specifically come to greet him.
Understanding the experiences Lis and Angela had gone through, he was quite shocked.
He really escaped from that Legendary Vampire and persisted until he reached the Burns Territory and got the problem resolved by Prince. If it had been him, he wouldn’t have had the slightest confidence to do what Lis had achieved.
Marion still remembered the first time he met Lis two years ago when he was still a Silver Level Mage; he hadn’t expected Lis to have surpassed him now.
Perhaps, like Angela, true geniuses couldn’t be described by common sense.
“Marion, I have a question. May I ask you?”
Lis thought for a moment, put down his knife and fork, and looked across at Marion.
“Please ask.”
Marion didn’t mind, unlike when he was in Bright City.
Back then, he was grateful for Lis’s help and held awe for the two legends standing behind Lis.
But now it was different; Marion respected Lis for his strength alone.
About matters not involving the secrets of the Blood Clan, Marion didn’t mind solving them for Lis.
“Since the Blood Clan considers all vampires to be traitors and enemies, why are there still so many High-level Vampires in Bolin Kingdom?”
This was something Lis had always been puzzled about, knowing that, in any case, the Blood Clan and vampires were absolute foes.
Otherwise, Burns wouldn’t have decisively acted to kill Benfica, would he?
Moreover, based on the behavior of Marion, Angela, and Lord Burns before, the Blood Essence inside vampires seemed to also be beneficial for them.
And those Golden-level Vampires within the territory of Bolin Kingdom, not to mention Lord Burns, in Marion’s eyes, appeared to be easy to manage.
“About that…”
Marion thought for a moment, unperturbed.
This wasn’t particularly secretive information; however, the Blood Clan had been hidden from the world for too long. Possibly only those extraordinary forces that had been continuously passed down had relevant records.
Telling Lis was not an issue, after all, if Marion didn’t, Angela would end up telling Lis later.
“You know vampires are traitors among the Blood Clan, originally there were no vampires.”
Marion shook his head and said with a sigh,
“Actually, that was a very long time ago, during the wild ages of the Gaia World, my knowledge of it is also not very clear.”
“Our ancestor of the Blood Clan is Lord Cain, who, at the time of his birth, already possessed a divine rank, leading us to survive through that era of strife.”
“That era was too remote and dark, I also don’t know what exactly happened during it.”
“I don’t know when, the Bottomless Abyss also appeared under the Main World of Gaia, and the emergence of the Abyss Lords, Demon Princes stirred more chaos and evil forces began to meddle with this world.”
“At that time, our Blood Clan was targeted by the Abyss Evil Gods, for they found the Blood Clan, possessing dark powers, extremely easy to seduce and corrupt, subsequently making them their Favored.”
“Under the influence of the Evil Gods, the Blood Clan fell and transformed into vampires.”
“The ancestor also tried to stop the clan members from falling, even launching a divine war, but eventually, he was no match for those Abyss Evil Gods.”
“Unable to reverse the outcome, the ancestor then led us to hide, preserving the last of our clan members.”
“Up till now, most people likely do not know of our Blood Clan’s existence anymore, even the Abyss Evil Gods who participated in the divine war have fallen a lot.”
“But that’s probably for the best. We don’t care about power or status, as long as we maintain our race’s heritage and continuity.”
“This was also the guiding principle and requirement of Lord Cain.”
Marion’s face showed a trace of seriousness, and there was a hint of hatred and helplessness.
“Perhaps the power hidden in our bloodlines is just too prone to corruption?”
“Of course, occasionally pure members of the Blood Clan are born among the vampires, like Angela.”
Marion glanced at the little white bat engrossed in eating and smiled,
“But I never expected that the Divine Son of Lord Cain would be born this way; it certainly caught me by surprise at the time.”
“There are still places in the Gaia World with Blood Clan members, but most are hidden like the Frost Blood Castle.”
“After all, among the Abyss Evil Gods back then, there were those who coveted Lord Cain’s power, like the Demon Prince Demogorgon, like the Vampire God Kanchelisis.”
“Lord Cain naturally doesn’t mind, but we also need to protect ourselves.”
“So, in the Bolin Kingdom where Frost Blood Castle is located, we won’t start a large-scale extermination of the high-level vampires here.”
Lis nodded slightly, he was beginning to understand.
To put it simply, it’s the idea of not eating the grass next to one’s burrow and hiding the wood in the forest.
However, it seems that the situation of the Blood Clan is not too good, after all, it seems there is only one deity supporting the entire Blood Clan when facing the Abyss Evil Gods.
“Then does my previous action of killing those Gold-level vampires from the Bolin Kingdom have any impact?”
Lis thought for a moment and asked, after all, he was previously unaware of these matters.
“Don’t worry about it.”
Marion waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile,
“That’s an old practice, we’re just too lazy to change it now.”
“It’s also a test that Lord Burns assigned to Angela, and we need not worry about these matters anymore.”
“Rather it’s impressive, Lis, that you managed to kill all those vampires, quite impressive indeed!”
“It’s mainly due to Angela’s strength.”
Lis took a sip of the specialty fruit tea from the Bolin Kingdom and shook his head as he spoke.
Marion looked like he wanted to say something else, but seeing Angela finally stopping, patting her little belly and flying onto Lis yawning, he stood up and said,
“Alright, let’s go.”
“Lord Burns is waiting for you!”
Lis nodded, and leading Angela who started to doze off, followed Marion.
They walked down the brick and stone staircase for a while, Marion stopped in front of a room with an ancient-looking door, gently pushed open the door, and solemnly said to Lis,
“Lord Burns is inside, go in!”
Lis nodded gently and then walked into the pitch-black room that had no lights or candles.”
