Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 222 It was obviously me first!

"Lady Lilith, this is it."

Dill led Yu Jin and the other man to the castle behind the town and said respectfully:
"Master...Lord Ballard and his men lived here when they were alive."

"In life?"

Lilith looked at Dill with a half-smile, until cold sweat broke out on his forehead, then she waved her hand nonchalantly:

"Got it. You can leave first. We will rest here for a day and leave after dark."

"Yes... yes, sir..."

Dill wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and watched the two men enter the house and close the door before he dared to turn around and leave.

Dill was very familiar with the roads in the town. He passed through several small lanes and turned into an ordinary, low house.

Snapped!
Dill pushed open the door and glanced into the living room. More than a dozen people had gathered in the room.

They were all members of the town guards, and without exception, they were all blood servants. Perhaps to avoid attracting attention, there were no lights on in the house, but as blood servants, they all had excellent night vision and could see everything around them clearly without lights.

"Brother Dill."

A blond young man stepped forward and whispered in Dill's ear, "There are only two of them, and the other one is an ordinary person. Should we..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

His voice was not loud, but everyone in the room was a blood servant, so how could they not hear it?

But even if they heard it, they didn't say anything, just stared at Dill calmly. It seemed that as long as he gave the order, they would rush into the most luxurious building in the town with weapons and kill the two outsiders.

Dill's expression suddenly changed, and he angrily shouted:
"Arsen, are you crazy? That's a vampire!"

"I'm not crazy!"

Arsen, who was scolded by Dill, did not calm down, but became more excited: "So what if they are vampires? After all, there are only two of them, and the other one is a burdensome blood food! You know, we have more than 30 people, as long as..."

Snapped!
Before Arsen could finish his words, he was slapped in the face. He felt a burning pain on his left cheek and looked at Dill in disbelief:

"You dare to hit me?"

Dill said in a cold tone:
"Arsen, don't think I don't know what you're thinking! Your family used to be noble and ruled this land for generations, but now you're no different from us! Do you think you can become the ruler again without the blood clan? Wake up, it won't be your turn even without the blood clan."

"And you."

Dill glanced at the others and said coldly:
"Don't forget, we are just blood servants! Even if Lord Ballard and his men are dead, how do you know that she can't take back our power? Do you think we can succeed with just her? Don't forget, she killed Lord Ballard and his men by herself!"

"Besides, how do you know if everything we are doing now will be seen by that adult?"

Everyone who was swept by Dill's gaze lowered their heads guiltily. It was obvious that they had been bribed by Alsen long ago.

"Think about it carefully."

Dill looked away from them with some disappointment, sighed, and turned away.

Arsen covered his left cheek and looked at Dill's back as he left, his eyes extremely cold.

"Master Arsen."

A member of the town guard came forward and whispered:
"Forget it, Brother Dill..."

"Snapped!"

Arsen slapped him in the face, interrupting him rudely, and said with a ferocious expression, "What the hell is Brother Dill? Don't forget, I am the noble! Give him face and call him brother. If you don't give him face, I will bury him in the ground!"

"Doesn't he like being those vampires' dog? Then let them die together!"
-
“莉莉丝大人.”

In the hall of the castle, the maids lined up in two rows, kneeling on the ground in fear, to greet their new master.

"Who among you is in charge here?"

Lilith glanced around the hall and asked casually.

Before asking this question, she had already vaguely guessed the answer -

Among the many maids, there was only one who was special.

The other person had dazzling golden hair. Just like red eyes and bat wings were the iconic features of vampires, dazzling golden hair was also a symbol of nobility and the ruling class among humans.

Moreover, compared with the maids who were wearing coarse linen clothes, her clothes were gorgeous.

Before she asked this question, the other maids almost subconsciously turned their eyes to the blonde young woman.

The blonde young woman's expression changed slightly, and she pointed at another maid beside her:
"She, she is the head maid here!"

The silver-haired maid who was pointed at was a little stunned, and her eyes soon became dim, but she still stood up and whispered:

"Lady Lilith, I'm Aleka, the head maid here."

"Head maid?"

Lilith looked playful. The silver-haired woman is the head maid, so you, the gorgeously dressed blonde, are the mistress of the castle? You dare to play this trick in front of her. Do you think she is stupid or blind?

Lilith, who saw through everything, did not expose it. Instead, she smiled and lifted the chin of the charming silver-haired maid and ordered:

"Aleka, prepare a new room for me. I need to rest."

"Yes, Lady Lilith." Aleka stood up obediently and led the two to the second floor.

The blonde young woman who watched Lilith leave thought she had finally escaped and breathed a sigh of relief. But soon, she suddenly thought of something and her face changed, and she hurriedly left the castle hall.

Walking in the corridor on the second floor of the castle, Lilith suddenly asked:

"Aleka, are there only maids in the castle?"

"Yes, it is."

Aleka was a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down and explained, "Lord Ballard and his men do not allow other men to enter the castle."

Lilith nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:

"I told everyone in the castle to gather in the hall. There shouldn't be any exceptions, right?"

"of course not……"

Aleka whispered, "How dare we disobey the order of the vampire master."

"Oh, is it so?"

Lilith looked at her deeply and suddenly stopped in front of a door.

Snapped!
The door was suddenly pushed open, revealing a little silver-haired girl curled up beside the bed in the room. She was looking at the two people outside the door with fear in her wine-red eyes.

Lilith took back her hand and asked with a joking expression:

"Then how does she explain?"

Aleka's body trembled violently, his face full of astonishment and disbelief, and he blurted out:

"How will you be here?"

After a moment, she suddenly understood something. Her eyes became extremely desperate, and a bitter look appeared at the corners of her mouth:
"She clearly promised me..."

"I think you need to explain yourself."

Lilith did not show any anger of being deceived on her face. Instead, she smiled and said:
"Based on what you said, I will decide how to deal with you."

Aleka had a bitter smile on her face:

"As you can see, she is my sister's daughter."

"Who is her father?" Lilith asked, not surprised.

Blonde hair is a symbol of the ruling class in human society, and the same is true among vampires.

Silver hair is rare among both humans and vampires. Alaka and the girl have the same silver hair, so it is not difficult to guess that they are related by blood.

The other party's red eyes proved that his father was one of the three 'Guardians'.

This is not surprising.

Those three vampires ruled here for a long time, it is impossible that they did not leave any offspring.

“That’s also Lord Ballard.” Aleka lowered her head silently, and said in a complicated tone: “But Ornia will not be recognized, so she is just the daughter of a servant.”

"Eh?"

Even Lilith was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized the reason and stopped asking questions.

She walked into the room, squatted down in front of the silver-haired girl, and asked with a smile:

"Little sister, what's your name?"

There was still fear in the little girl's eyes, but she still replied weakly:

"My name is Ornia..."

"You said your name was Olnia?"

Yu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly asked.

The little girl was startled and shrank into the corner with her head down.

"You scared her." Lilith turned around and said angrily in dissatisfaction.

"Are you drifting again?"

Yu Jin glanced at her and said lightly.

"Hmm!" Lilith's momentum collapsed all of a sudden, and she said weakly, "I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry~"

Aleka was unable to react to the scene in front of her. Why would this vampire be so afraid of an ordinary person?

"Your name is Ornia?"

Yu Jin walked closer to the little girl, stroked her silver hair soothingly, and asked in a gentle voice.

The little girl seemed no longer so scared and whispered:
“That’s the name my mother gave me.”

"Olnia, isn't this a coincidence?"

Yu Jin looked at the little girl, then looked at Lilith who was standing weakly on the side, and suddenly chuckled.

Lilith, the ancestor of the blood clan, and her subordinate god, the future "Goddess of Beauty" and the Blood Moon Queen Ornia, aren't they all here?
Aleka didn't know what Yu Jin was laughing at, she just said nervously:

"My Lords, Ornia failed to inherit the blood of those three. She is not a vampire."

Lilith glanced at the head maid at the door. She knew that Aleka was worried that she would wipe out the roots. After all, she had just killed the three vampires. It was normal to wipe out the roots to prevent their descendants from seeking revenge. Lilith didn't mind doing so, but it was not her decision now.

Thinking of this, Lilith secretly looked at Yu Jin and asked for his opinion.

Yu Jin noticed Lilith's inquiring look and said calmly:
"I told you to handle it."

Lilith blinked, then looked at Aleka with a smile:
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to her. But in exchange, you have to tell me the whole truth."

Aleka's expression darkened and she nodded bitterly.

For Olnia, she had no choice.

"Ballard..."

Aleka paused and whispered, "The three guardians have a total of seventeen heirs, and Ornia's heirs are one of them. Among them, the most noble is Lady Aisha's son, Master Camilo. He inherited the noble bloodline of Lord Ballard."

Lilith was a little surprised, even Yu Jin was a little surprised.

After all, an adult vampire is only equivalent to Sequence 7, and at or below Sequence 7, Beyonder characteristics will basically not be passed on to offspring. Although it is not absolute, the probability of inheritance is also extremely low.

However, only when one reaches Sequence 6 or Sequence 5 will a portion of it be naturally inherited, and that child will be born with certain extraordinary abilities, close to Sequence 9.

In addition, high-sequence beings can even actively control whether to inherit extraordinary characteristics. They can choose to inherit, or not, or they can choose to inherit a little, one-third, half, or all. Therefore, the children of high-sequence beings may be born extraordinary beings, and the sequence number is determined by their father or mother.

Of course, if it is a union of two extraordinary people, the probability will also increase. This is why most vampires live in groups, not only because they can take care of each other and it will be safer, but also to ensure the continuation of offspring. Even Sequence 7 can give birth to offspring with vampire blood.

But correspondingly, the probability of a blood clan and an ordinary person giving birth to a blood clan offspring with extraordinary abilities is extremely low. But for the outliers, they have no choice but to choose ordinary people to give birth to, but the result of this is often that the bloodline of the outliers will be cut off.

This is why the three outliers were so excited when they saw Lilith, because a vampire female meant that the possibility of their offspring having vampire blood was greatly increased.

Lilith asked with a hint of understanding:

"Mrs. Aisha, the blonde woman?"

"Yes."

Aleka nodded slightly, with a complicated expression, "She is the mistress of this castle and Lord Ballard's favorite wife."

A mother's status is elevated by her son. Her son is the only descendant who inherited the bloodline of the vampire clan, so her own status naturally rises as well.

Lilith nodded slightly to show her understanding.

Aleka suddenly remembered something and added in a low voice:
"Madam Aisha and Arsen from the town guard are siblings. Before the three guardians came, their families were the rulers here. So, maybe they..."

Aleka hesitated for a long time but still didn't say it.

Lilith asked with a smile:
"Do you think they might want to resist?"

Aleka nodded silently.

This is not surprising. The three rulers of Ballard were killed, and the child named Camillo, who was the heir of the three Ballards, was the most legitimate heir. Moreover, the families of Lady Aisha and Arsen were the former rulers, which further boosted their arrogance.

In addition, the town guards had a total of more than thirty blood servants, which was indeed a strong force and gave them the courage to resist.

"A mere blood servant..."

Lilith sneered, her eyes full of disdain.

Although only their masters can control the blood servants, and after their masters die, these blood servants will lose their restraints and gain freedom. But this does not mean that they have enough power to resist other vampires!

Lilith looked at the crimson moon outside the window, her expression becoming more playful.

The power of blood servants comes from the vampires who signed a contract with them. Although the power of blood servants will not disappear after the vampires die, they will even be liberated and no longer be constrained.

But the gap between their strength and that of the real vampires is still huge!

Of course, although their power is nothing compared to that of the vampires, they are still the same as the vampires.

Their strength will also be increased to a certain extent on the full moon night.

In other words, if they want to resist, their only chance is tonight—

Take advantage of the darkness before daybreak and the opportunity of the "surge" in strength to launch a sneak attack at night.

Lilith was still wondering when those people would launch a sneak attack, but she suddenly heard a familiar voice:

"Do you crave power?"

Lilith turned her head in astonishment, and then saw Yu Jin holding a blood-red heart and fooling the silver-haired girl in front of him in a low voice.

Lilith's eyes suddenly became sharp.
