Emlyn "Moon" looked at the gazes directed at him and felt a bit lost, vaguely realizing that he might have asked something he shouldn't have.
Why are you looking at me? Can't I have a vampire friend? Should I explain... No, what about vampires? I am a vampire, there's nothing to deny! Our vampire race has a long history, long lives, and rich accumulation. We are a noble race! You're not that impressive either; the items traded just now were at most Sequence 6 level! With thoughts flashing and changing, Emlyn White raised his chin and proudly added:
"Yes, I am a true vampire."
No one asked him about that... Mr. "Moon" seems a bit guilty, so he made an overreaction... "Justice" Audrey read Emlyn's performance.
So he is a vampire... "Magician" Fors asked curiously:
"Mr. 'Moon,' does your vampire race imitate humans by dividing into duke, marquis, count, viscount, and baron titles to indicate different levels and statuses of the strong?"
"No, it's you humans who imitate our vampire race!" Emlyn straightened up. "Before the Great Calamity, back in the Second Epoch, our vampire race had already divided into duke, marquis, count, viscount, and baron titles. Those who have not yet fully mastered their own power are underage vampires. Those like me are adults. One more step, and I can obtain the title of baron. Then successively upwards until duke. Above duke are the positions of queen and prince. At that time, you humans were still under the rule of the giant court and had no possibility of inventing titles!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Derrick "Sun" next to him blurted out:
"Our history in Silver City has no such record.
"The division of vampires is based on the emergence of the 'Blasphemy Slate.' Before that, it was very general and vague, with only different family heads and regional leaders' titles. At the top was Ancestor Lilith. Afterward, it strictly corresponds to the potion system, named according to different Sequences."
"Moon" Emlyn sneered:
"Our vampire history is written with long lives, not something that can be overturned by the random records of a small, ordinary Silver City."
Wait, they keep mentioning Silver City. Where exactly is Silver City? I've never heard of it... After refuting, Emlyn realized he seemed to have overlooked an important question.
"Our Silver City doesn't fabricate history. Our records come from verifiable ancient texts or ruins of other city-states," "Sun" Derrick emphasized with some grievance.
If no one stops them, I think they could argue about this until the meeting ends... Little "Sun" is honest, sincere, and reserved, but very stubborn and persistent. Mr. "Moon" seems particularly concerned about vampire history... "Justice" Audrey observed the daily behavior with interest.
At that moment, "Hanged Man" Alger interrupted the discussion between "Sun" and "Moon":
"I know how vampires can improve their strength."
Emlyn's attention was immediately diverted:
"Ah, Mr. 'Hanged Man,' what reward do you need? I can exchange some lost history that vampires have mastered."
"Hanged Man" Alger smiled:
"No, we are all members of the Tarot Club, and such information exchange is free."
Mr. "Hanged Man" is truly generous and noble... Emlyn made an initial judgment in his heart:
"Thank you for your kindness."
Alger thought for two seconds and said:
"Vampires can also take potions to advance, but they must be the corresponding and correct ones. Within the major churches, some experiments have been conducted, and the results prove this method is feasible, but I can't see the specific data."
"But those potions' main ingredients are my kin!" "Moon" Emlyn rejected this method.
"Hanged Man" smiled slightly:
"Never say never. For example, I have clues about the characteristics left by a vampire baron. He died in a sudden conflict and had no time to find a successor. You can use the potion method to inherit this legacy and not let the vampire's power be lost."
This was an item owned by a pirate Alger knew, which had not been sold because no one knew what Sequence or potion it corresponded to, and the newly established "Artisan" channel was not very interested in it.
"To inherit the legacy through potions, and not let the vampire's power be lost..." Emlyn suddenly felt that Mr. "Hanged Man" made a lot of sense, so he changed his question: "What price needs to be paid?"
"Hanged Man" Alger chuckled:
"Between 4,000 and 5,000 pounds. I won't know for sure until I find the owner."
He hasn't communicated with that pirate yet, but he believes that as long as the price isn't too outrageous, the other party will accept it because for pirates, selling is gaining profit without much cost.
"5,000 pounds?" "Moon" Emlyn exclaimed in shock.
With such a large sum of money, I could bring home the puppets I've been eyeing for a long time and even buy several new sets of clothes for all the puppets! Emlyn's first reaction was to give up on this transaction, but then he thought about the favor of the Ancestor, the glory of the vampire race, and his identity as a savior of his race, and he found himself in a dilemma.
Alger didn't urge him and said lightly with a smile:
"I know this is a difficult decision. You can think about it slowly; there's no rush."
"Okay," Emlyn sighed in relief.
Mr. "Hanged Man" is really... "Justice" Audrey muttered to herself, then turned to "Moon" Emlyn and addressed all members:
"Ladies and gentlemen, any news about the fruit of the Tree of Elders and the blood of the Mirror Dragon?"
"Yes," Emlyn replied without hesitation.
