Chapter 500 Blood Slave (58)
Chapter 500 Blood Slave (58)
Apparently, as the head of the Council of Elders, Dick still had no idea that several princely territories had fallen.
Not to mention that there is a vast wilderness between the royal court and the prince's territory. On weekdays, there is almost no communication between them unless teleportation magic is used.
The eternal life of the vampires makes their rule as corrupt as their lifespan. In order to stabilize the royal power, the range of activities of each vampire is greatly restricted to the territory of their bloodline.
They only rely on endlessly exploiting the various values of the human race, and there is no need for them to engage in business and exchange what they have.
High-level vampires are not allowed to enter the royal court without being summoned.
Similarly, without permission, ordinary vampires are not allowed to travel between territories.
Frequent contact with vampires of other bloodlines may even lead to suspicion of betrayal.
All of this has resulted in the territories being even more closed off from each other than the ancient feudal system in human society.
In the past, the royal court relied on several princes to check and balance each other, supervise and report on each other, so that they could grasp the movements of the princes at the first time.
However, now, three of the four princes have been deposed and are unable to convey any information to the royal court!
So the information Dick had access to was really very limited.
He even only knew that Gret was going to attack Lord Lilith, but he didn't know that Gret not only took action, but also won. Naturally, he didn't know that Lord Jonathan also fell afterwards.
So Grete not only had ulterior motives, he had already confirmed his rebellion against the vampires with actual actions.
This fact made Dick's questioning at this moment seem very funny.
Of course, this is ridiculous only for those in the know.
Dick, unaware of the situation, was just trying to restrain Grett's actions and had no deeper plans.
As for Gretel, even if he knew everything, he couldn't self-destruct now. The smart thing to do was to continue playing dumb until the enemy found out.
"Alas!" The handsome prince sighed in grievance, with a genuine look of grief on his face. "Elder Dick, you are really just trying to find a pretext to accuse me of something!"
Not only that, Grete turned to the shadow next to Dick and said, "King, please believe that I have no second thoughts about you!"
The result was naturally no response from this "silent" king.
It was Dick who spoke again, "Grete, whether you have ulterior motives or not cannot be determined by just saying it!"
It was not until this time that he finally began to reveal the purpose of his waiting here.
"If you really want to prove to the king that you have no ulterior motives, you should take practical action!"
"Elder Dick, how can I prove myself? Please give me some guidance."
When Gretel said this, his expression was extremely humble, as if he would definitely do it if Dick told him what to do.
Dick naturally believed it and thought Prince Gret was really scared.
After all, in his opinion, even if Grete was not afraid of the royal court or the Council of Elders, he must be afraid of the king who could easily decide his life or death!
"I can show you a clear path. If you want the king to believe that you have no ulterior motives, you should stop the military operations against Lilith Territory and return all the territory that Prince Anton occupied privately before. The royal court will appoint a new prince to take over."
"A new prince? The king has transformed a new vampire?!"
"Of course not. Who says that the new prince must be a direct relative of the king? Any direct relative of one of our ten elders is also qualified to become the prince..."
He actually wanted to let his direct relatives occupy the prince's territory? !
Grete finally saw through Dick's true face.
The king was clearly before him, yet he dared to make such outrageous remarks.
At this moment, Grete's red eyes had gradually lost their warmth, but Dick, who was immersed in his speech, obviously had not noticed this.
This old vampire was still talking nonstop about his so-called proposals.
"...After you enter the Supreme Council Chamber, you only need to propose what I said during the trial against you. I will also help you to make it happen. When the other elders see your sincerity, they will no longer doubt your loyalty to the king and the royal court!"
Dick said this as if it was all for Gretchen's own good.
However, if Grete was really so easy to fool, he would not have been able to develop Grete Territory into the most prosperous of the four princely territories over the years!
At this moment, Dick, who had exposed his ambition, was no longer a threat to him.
And this so-called king before me...
"Elder Dick, you created such a fake to impersonate the king. Do the other elders know about this?!"
"No..." Dick, who was asked this question out of the blue, almost let the cat out of the bag. Then, when he realized who Gret was referring to, the anxiety on his face reappeared.
"Grete, what do you mean by that? How dare you say that the king is a fake? Are you so bold?"
Faced with the sudden rage of the old vampire, Grete was not frightened, but instead became more certain of his previous guess.
For a moment, his back straightened unconsciously.
"I think you are the one who is so bold, Elder Dick. Impersonating the king is a capital crime!"
"Grete, what you are doing now is seeking death. If the king gets angry again, I can't help you!"
As soon as Dick finished speaking, he looked at the human-shaped shadow beside him.
The black shadow that originally seemed to have its back to them immediately turned around, and its pair of red eyes looked directly at Grete again.
In an instant, the familiar blood suppression came again!
Even though Grett had been prepared, he was still knocked back by the pressure again.
But this time, he was not panicked at all.
As long as it’s not the king himself, but just an impostor, Grett is not afraid no matter what kind of black magic Dick uses!
However, the person who took action before him was Yue Luoluo, who had been staying in the carriage with Yin Chenxi since he was negotiating with Dick.
In just a blink of an eye, her figure appeared in front of Gret.
Because she is not a vampire, she is not affected by the so-called bloodline suppression at all, so she faces the creepy black shadow head-on.
Yue Luoluo, who was wearing a black cloak and whose face could not be seen clearly, just stretched out her right hand, stood on tiptoe and directly crushed the red pupil on the black shadow's face.
It was such a slender hand, but she didn't even use the magic of light when doing all this.
This was achieved purely by virtue of his strong body.
And at the moment when the pair of red pupils were crushed, the black shadow also dissipated.
This sudden move stunned all the vampires present.
Especially Dick, the head of the Council of Elders, was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
Looking at the petite black-robed person in front of him, his eyes looked more like he was looking at a scary demon.
“No… Oh my god…”
In response to this, Yue Luoluo just smiled with extreme contempt.
"The King of the Blood Clan, is this it?!"
