810 Chapter 492: Do You Know An Ancient God?
Richard thought of the connections and narrowed his eyes.
‘Could it be…one hid the vampire scepter that contained the blood essence of the Vampire Clan in this area?
He did not deny it, and he told Loreinna about his impression.
Loreinna’s expression froze when she heard it.
Rebecca’s subordinate, Bowen, had been too tight-lipped a while back. She only got a few pieces of information.
Loreinna was unsure, although she vaguely thought of this in her heart. She couldn’t connect.
The elegant vampire archduschess pondered. She slowly said, “Lord, please look…”
She waved her hand as she spoke.
Silver energy burst out from her body and surged in all directions like a storm.
Layers of fluctuations appeared in the surrounding space under the terrifying power. It was like a force distorted a transparent glass.
One could vaguely see the blood that flowed through the distorted nodes. Those were traces from another plane.
Richard frowned.
The evil, darkness, and cruelty aura of that foreign plane made him feel irritated all over.
It was like an evil form stared at him.
That plane was not a good place.
“Perhaps one hid the vampire scepter in this area, but… It wouldn’t be easy to obtain.”
Loreinna’s thoughts were clear, and she wasn’t too concerned about the treasure she hadn’t seen before.
The energy that could purify her bloodline was more vital for her, although it was the Vampire Clan’s most precious treasure.
Moreover, she didn’t have much hope with treasures lost time-immemorially long, so long that she didn’t know about it or even if she did.
Many vampires did not believe this treasure ever existed.
Richard nodded. He understood the elegant vampire archduchess’s thoughts.
She was arduous to deal with if one judged from the aura that seeped from that plane.
No one could not know what happened afterward following a fusion.
“You mean, you want to stay in the castle?”
Loreina nodded and gravely said, “Lord, I’ll listen to your arrangements. However, I’ll be able to improve even more if I stay. I would quickly return whenever you need me.”
She gestured at the spatial rift as she spoke.
“I can already push aside this turbulent space following the reinforcement of those energies… The void sandworm could open a spatial passageway at any time.”
Richard frowned and weighed up.
He was particular to this aspect as a transcendent. Usually, he would respect the other party’s opinion.
However, the system would soon release a new expansion pack. Richard would lose everything if he weren’t careful and wise.
Any decision could directly affect the fate of Twilight City.
“Wait until Rebecca returns.”
Richard pressed the button and then signaled to the castle behind her.
“Send all the supplies back to Twilight City.
“We need these resources to expand our troops.”
Loreinna bowed.
“As you wish.”
She stood after she knelt and immediately flew into the castle.
The entire castle previously bustled and rustled with activity.
Bat-winged vampires flew out of the castle while they dragged vast boxes.
They passed through the spatial gate. Richard led them as they entered the holy land and piled up all the boxes in his private plane.
Every vampire was a flying soldier. They could transform their talent into bat abilities. That was why they could move boxes very quickly.
Richard was in a good mood as he watched the bats move.
The overwhelming benefits of subduing Loreinna were not something ordinary people could imagine. This elegant vampire archduchess could incessantly recruit vampires to join him.
The lower-level vampire troop was unwilling and dissatisfied.
In the system of the Vampire Clan, the high-level clan had absolute authority over the lower-level ones.
Just the identity of Loreinna as an ancestor was enough to make them obedient whether she set aside her remarkable power.
The vampires sensed Loreinna’s blood and excitedly knelt when she arrived at the castle. It wasn’t like what Richard had imagined. The vampires had to go through a fierce battle to subdue each other.
There was no resistance or struggle at all.
One had snatched the vampire coffin in the castle they had obtained from the orcs.
Loreinna was the target of the vampire troop’s protection.
It was rational to accept the castle.
The ancient castle had abundant reserved treasures. Thousands of vampires had to work for more than ten minutes to transport all the supplies to the holy land.
Then, the vampires wouldn’t enter the castle. They would wait quietly before the spatial rift for orders.
Among the evil creatures like vampires and demons, the most disciplined were the former.
These two clans were both high-level and had absolute dominance over low-level races.
The air suddenly fell silent when both Loreina and Richard didn’t speak.
Richard seemed to have thought of something at this moment. He waved his hand at the dark soul eater, Kratos.
This boss had recently guarded the land of quicksand with the god’s ancient tree.
Protecting the holy land meant coordination with the Kingdom of Ell dimension, which could change.
“Kratos, do you have any news from the Kingdom of Ell?”
Kratos was six meters tall and was as strong as a mountain. It softly responded.
“Lord, the two princesses have contacted the troop still loyal to the royal family of Ell.
“They hid in the forbidden area of the Kingdom of Ell and could not enter from the outside world.
“Gunter and Gray have assisted each other.”
Richard nodded.
“Have you informed the princesses to come to Twilight City?”
“I did, Lord. However, the two princesses strongly requested to stay there and wouldn’t want to come to Twilight City yet.”
“They clearly expressed that they couldn’t leave the kingdom yet. They needed more time to prepare.”
Richard’s admiration for the two princesses thrived.
He was clear about the current situation, and they did not receive support. Richard would always determine hard work as the benchmark. The sibling princesses had great potential.
“Pay more attention to them. Be sure to bring them back immediately if anything happens.”
The death of others was inevitable. But these two princesses are the remaining heiresses of the royal family of Ell. They are irreplaceable. Nothing could happen to them.
Kratos nodded.
“I will obey your orders, my Lord!”
Kratos seemed to have thought of something and spoke slowly.
“Lord, those two princesses also said…They were looking for a treasure and wanted to give it to you as a gift of gratitude.
“A god had left that treasure behind, although it wasn’t a divine artifact. It has an exceptional function to them.”
That intrigued Richard.
The siblings were the second who aspired to give him a gift.
‘A god’s legacy?’
It sounded expensive.
“Alright, just pay attention to this matter. Let me know if the princesses need any help.”
“It’s the lord’s turn of the century.”
The vampires in front of the spatial rift placidly listened to their conversation. Their expressions were subtle as they tried to fathom Richard’s genuine attributes.
How rich must one be to become their ancestor’s lord?
At this moment, a thumb-sized black dot suddenly appeared in the dark sky.
The black dot rapidly approached and gradually became vast.
In less than a minute, a stone statue of the dead led the flying troops over.
It was a group of griffins that shone with a dark blue light.
The ice-carved feathers on their bodies were crystal clear, like rare treasures.
The blue griffins were about one squadron. Mounted on them were knights who wore masks with golden patterns and carried lances and longbows.
The most striking person was still the one in the center.
The female warrior in full white armor rode a two-headed griffin.
It was more than twice the size of the griffin beside it.
It was like an adult griffin flew with a group of underage griffins.
The troop quickly approached and stopped before the spatial rift in a breath’s time.
The griffins were in chaos for a moment under the watchful eyes of thousands of vampires. The giant griffin flew out alone.
The stone statue of the dead led, and they fearlessly arrived in front of the space rift.
The young female warrior removed the golden helmet on her head.
Her long hair fluttered in the wind.
A perfect, fair face reflected in everyone’s eyes.
The young female warrior fixed her eyes on Richard. Her face revealed a bright smile.
“Lord Richard, long time no see!”
Happiness and joy overflowed in her chest at this moment.
The corners of Richard’s mouth curled up slightly.
“Rebecca, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Rebecca’s eyes curved into crescents.
Her tone was light.
“I didn’t, either.”
She spoke and glanced curiously at the ferocious vampire troop and the open spatial rift below.
“Lord Richard, who is she?”
Richard shrugged.
“A subordinate I just subdued.”
“Speaking of which, I even had a few misunderstandings with your subordinate.”
Richard said that and looked at his former middle-aged human captive, Bowen. The former captive came down from the stone statue of the dead. Admiration engulfed Richard’s sight.
“Sir Bowen’s courage is commendable.”
Bowen revealed a pained smile from beneath.
He was courageous but could never be proud of the beatings he suffered because of his unclever mouth.
He wouldn’t have almost died if it weren’t for his nonsense.
Richard’s expression turned grave after a brief exchange of pleasantries.
“Rebecca, you’re looking for the vampire scepter of the breeds?”
Rebecca nodded.
“That’s right.”
She spoke and glanced at the vampire troop.
“I received news that the vampire scepter is in this area?”
“This place alone in the entire mountain range has the Vampire Clan’s ancient castle.”
“My initial target was these vampire breeds.”
“They have a strong sense of their ancestors’ blood.”
Her tone was sparingly coquettish afterward.
“But I didn’t expect you would all subdue them.
“Lord Richard, can you lend me a few vampires…? Otherwise, I won’t let you go.”
The double-headed giant griffin young female rider revealed a childish expression.
Bowen’s heart thumped as he looked at Richard with a dry mouth.
‘Was this grace mainland overlord the young lady’s partner?’
He immediately stood up straight and tried his best to be more respectful.
Richard laughed.
“It’s a small matter. Loreinna can go with you.”
Rebecca focused on the silver-haired, silver-eyed, and exceptionally seductive Loreinna beside him.
She initially glanced at the exaggerated bulging mountains on her chest with envy. Then she was a little surprised.
“Lord Richard, this subordinate of yours is… Transcendent?”
Amazement cradled her heart when Richard nodded.
How long had it been since they last met, and Twilight City had already transcendent?
Richard didn’t dwell on these trivial matters and asked the question he was most concerned about.
“You will use the vampire scepter treasure to explore the ancient ruins? What kind of relic would require the Vampire Clan’s ultimate treasure?”
Rebecca’s expression turned solemn as she slowly spoke.
“Lord Richard, you know… An ancient god?”
“Ancient god?”
Richard’s eyes narrowed.
“What do you mean?”
Rebecca’s gaze turned exceptionally grave.
“I found their tracks.”
Maybe you don’t trust me. The current gods were all gods who had stolen the power of the ancient gods.”
She spoke, and pain filled her eyes.
“Snow goddess…It’s the same.”
Richard’s heart skipped a beat.
He looked at the expression of the eldest daughter of the Frostwolf Clan. The lost power shattered her dreams. She could not help but feel sparingly embarrassed.
Richard said slowly.
“Rebecca…Perhaps, I knew it earlier than you.”
“I’ve already contacted the ancient gods’ representative…They are calling for the ancient gods to return.”
