Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 230

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Carla looked at the girl who suddenly became nervous and said softly:
"In order to continue the First Flame, there is the Fire Transmission, and that is why we need to hunt down the King Soul and put it into the First Flame. And he has already accomplished this goal. All the King Soul holders have already been hunted down by him, without exception."

"how about you?"

Audrey asked with a frown.

Carla's words are completely contradictory. If the holders of the King's Soul have been killed, then what is Carla?
Carla was quite helpless and sighed:

"Don't you understand yet?"

"The King's Soul that I possess was given to me by him."

Audrey frowned slightly. She knew nothing about Yu Jin's past. Even Yu Jin himself probably knew nothing about it.

His memory is not complete.

According to Lula, Yu Jin hunted the King Soul holder for the First Fire, and this process was called Fire Transmission. But if that was the case, why did he divide the King Soul again?

This doesn't make sense.

Audrey asked cautiously:

"How many King Soul holders are there?"

"do not know."

Carla said confidently.

"..."

Audrey felt helpless, wondering why you were so proud.
There was a hint of mischief in Carla's eyes. She wanted to see Audrey in such a troubled state, so she smiled and said:

"Of course, it's not that I have no idea at all."

"The original king soul was divided into four parts, and these four parts were distributed to more people by the original four kings, until finally, everything returned to the original fire. And it was also at that time that the king soul was distributed again..."

"So, you think the redistributed King Soul will also be divided into four parts?" Audrey asked hesitantly.

"of course not."

Carla shook her head slightly and replied seriously:

"The king's soul that gathered again was divided into at least nine parts."

In the territory of the Ash family, Dill, who was leading the survey, listened to his subordinates' report and couldn't help but frowned slightly:

"You mean, Arsen and the others are missing?"

The Ash family was massacred last night, and upon learning of this tragedy, Dill immediately brought the few remaining members of the town guard to the Ash family's territory to investigate.

Of course, this is just a show.

Because he had basically guessed what was going on. After all, the Ash family was the largest family in the town and was the former ruler. Most of the members of the town guard lived here, and the safety factor was the highest in the town!
But such a place was slaughtered, and it was obvious that it was done by the one in the castle. Only she had such strength. After all, the other party was a real vampire, and they, the blood servants, were a far cry from him.

So Dill knew from the beginning that this investigation would end in vain because he would never be able to hold the murderer accountable. But now his subordinates told him that such a big incident happened last night, but Arsen and his team were not at the scene. What was going on?
Dill was confused for a moment. He thought that the man in the castle learned that several former guardians had left descendants, so he slaughtered the Ash family at night with the idea of ​​wiping out the roots.

But the 'disappearance' of Arsen and others made the matter confusing again.

Where on earth did they go?
It can't be that the person is specifically there to collect the bodies for them, right?
Dill didn't think that Arsen and his men deserved such treatment, nor did he think that they chose not to resist when they were invaded, but instead abandoned their families and escaped alone.

There must be such people, but it is impossible for all the blood servants to escape safely. Because even if they want to escape, that person will not let them go, and at least two bodies will be left behind, and there will not be no blood servants at all.

"Unless, they had already left before being slaughtered here..."

Dill frowned and thought, and soon came to a conclusion - this was the only possible answer he thought.

But if that is the case, then where did Arsen and the others go?
"Brother Dill,"

Dill was still wondering when a red-haired young man came up to him with a nervous look on his face and whispered in his ear:

"Something happened. Someone saw the maids in the castle clearing the bodies out. It seemed to be Arsen and the others."

Upon learning the whereabouts of Arsen and the others, Dill's expression became even more sad.

This was considered a solved case. Arsen and his men had not given up their unrealistic fantasy and finally chose to launch a night raid. But it was obvious that their night raid had ended in failure.

It was even because of this that the entire Ash family was destroyed...

After a long silence, Dill turned and walked towards the castle.

No matter what, this matter needs an explanation——

Although the entire Ash family had been killed, he still had to give that person an explanation to avoid being angered by him.

The Ash family and the castle are actually very close. You can see the towering spire on top of the castle from afar. It is majestic and magnificent. It is the tallest, strongest and most luxurious building in the entire town.

When he arrived at the castle gate, the maids were clearing out the broken limbs and arms left behind last night.

The person in charge of all this was a silver-haired maid. She was directing other maids to clean up with her back to Dill, so Dill could only see her silver hair and back, but Dill was not unfamiliar with her identity.

Aleka, or rather, Aleka Ash.

She is also a member of the Ash family, but for some unknown reason, she and her sister have silver hair, which is considered a symbol of the devil. She was almost burned to death by the Ash family when she was young.

But even so, they are still often persecuted by the Ash family, and are not recognized by the Ash family, and cannot use the surname "Ash". Even the Ash family members stubbornly believe that they are a stain on their noble bloodline, and only by killing them can this "shame" be washed away.

For this reason, Aleka's sister was persecuted to death, and her heart was dug out by Carlos, who inherited the blood of the Guardian. As a descendant of the Guardian who inherited the blood of the vampires, Carlos would of course not be punished for this.

Although Aleka survived by chance, her hatred for the Ash family can definitely be described as deep-rooted. It was probably she who testified against the Ash family to that adult.

"Eh."

Dill sighed softly. This is the law of nature.

The original "mistress" of the castle was Lady Aisha, but as a member of the Ash family, Lady Aisha's fate was self-evident. At least Arsen had seen the blood-stained, messy golden hair among the piled up corpses.

Blonde hair, as a symbol of nobility for the Ash family, has now become the only feature that identifies their identity.

"Miss Aleka."

Dill stepped forward and asked politely:
"Is Lady Lilith here? I have something important to report to her." Aleka did not turn around, but just said softly:

"The two adults have left."

"leave?"

Dill was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that when the other party came yesterday, he did say that they were just passing by and would leave at dawn.

But no one took it seriously at the time.

Not only did Arsen and the others not believe it, even Dill didn't believe it.

Because when Bahad and his companions came, they also said they were just passing through, and they had been passing through for twenty years.

Even after getting the answer from Aleka, he still found it hard to believe. He turned his questioning eyes to the other brown-haired maid who was "shoveling meat". That was his sister.

Most of the young and beautiful girls in the town would be sent to the castle to serve the guardians, just like the Ash family had Lady Aisha. Dill's sister Ellie also 'worked' in the castle, and Dill would occasionally ask her for some information.

Ellie met Dill's gaze and nodded slightly, confirming what Aleka said.

Dill was a little dazed. The vampire who called herself Lilith actually left as soon as she said she would. In other words, she seemed to be just passing by...

Dill almost subconsciously looked at the piles of corpses outside the castle with mixed emotions.

He knew that Arsen had always wanted to restore the glory of the Ash family and make the Ash family the rulers of the town again, which was the direct cause of the other party's sneak attack on the castle last night.

But who would have thought that Lilith was just passing by.

In other words, if Arsen and the others had not been so impulsive last night, if they had waited a day, things would have been completely different. They would not have to do anything, and they could return to their position of ruler as soon as Lilith left.

With the blood servants who have surrendered to the Ash family and Carlos who has the blood of the vampires, no one will dare to resist their rule...

"If Alsen had been a little more patient, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

Although Dill was not a member of the Ash family and did not want to see Arsen's plan succeed, he still felt a little emotional about it. He had tried to persuade him last night, but Arsen, who thought highly of himself, never took him seriously and never listened to his advice.

only……

If Lilith has left, Arsen and the blood servants who followed him have been annihilated, and even the Ash family no longer exists, then who will rule this town next?
As one of the few blood servants, Dill suddenly realized that he was the one who possessed the most powerful force in the entire town!

So, does he also have a chance to replace the Ash family and become the new ruler?

Dill's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but imagine that the throne of the ruler was beckoning to him...

Just when he was almost immersed in his beautiful fantasy, Aleka's calm voice suddenly came to his ears:
"Dil, go gather the rest of the town guard. I have something to announce."

Dill frowned slightly and looked at Aleka with some dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Aleka, who had been facing away from him, turned around and looked at him calmly with her crimson eyes.

Dill's pupils suddenly shrank. Red pupils have always been a symbol of vampires, but Aleksa is obviously not a vampire, so her eyes shouldn't be red!
What exactly is going on?
-
Outside the town, Yu Jin and Lilith set out on their journey eastward again, but this time there was a silver-haired loli in the team.

Lilith muttered quietly:
"Why did you give her the blood essence? You knew she was pretending."

She was talking about Aleka, but the silver-haired girl next to her did not refute or get angry, but remained calm. Because she knew that the other party's words were actually a veiled criticism...

Yu Jin glanced at Lilith and said calmly:
"Does it matter whether you're pretending or not? Besides, this isn't from your people."

It was just a Sequence 7 Beyonder characteristic. Even if it was sold, it wouldn’t be worth much.

Moreover, he had dozens of similar Beyonder Characteristics in his hands, and most of them were collected from the corpses of Lilith's people. This was also a factor that might have contributed to Lilith's deep resentment.

But Yu Jin used the extraordinary characteristics of the three outliers killed by Lilith, so the other party should not be so picky.

Lilith puffed up her cheeks and continued to mutter in an indignant tone:
"That can't be given for free. How can Aleka get a portion of the blood essence? Just because of her?"

Lilith pointed at Ornia, not hiding her dissatisfaction. Of course, she knew that one blood essence was nothing, but Aleka didn't pay anything but still got one blood essence. Wasn't it because of Ornia?
Although she has decided to form a united front with Ornia, this does not affect Lilith's resentment and grievance.

Why!

Is it just because Ornia has white hair and red eyes?

She was never dissatisfied with the blood essence, but because Ornia got more than her.

She only has one blood essence, but Ornia has two!

Is this fair?

Yu Jin looked at the girl who was constantly making trouble and asked:
"if not?"

Olnia raised her head and blinked at Lilith, as if asking:

"if not?"

Lilith's eyes instantly became dangerous. Yu Jin's question made her lose her temper, but she felt that Ornia was provoking her!

Lilith glared back fiercely on the spot. This aunt and nephew are both good at acting, and each one is more pretentious than the other!
Obviously, both of them are scheming, but they pretend to be more innocent than each other. People who don't know would think they are pure white lotuses that have emerged from the mud without being stained.

If Lilith didn't happen to have a talent for this and could easily see through their acting, she might have been fooled by them. But it was because she wasn't fooled that she felt extremely annoyed.

Why!

If she had known that Yu Jin was into this, she should have pretended to be a white lotus...

"Don't make trouble."

Yu Jin looked at the two people staring at each other, and patted Ornia and Lilith's heads with a helpless look, then forcibly separated them.

Of course he knew that Aleka was pretending, and her innocent image was just to make Lady Aisha relax her vigilance. As long as Lady Aisha felt that she was not a threat, there was no reason to kill her.

It is precisely because of this harmless acting that she has been able to live with Ornia until now.

But Ember didn't care, whether Aleka was a good person or a bad person, or what she would do after becoming a Beyonder, Ember didn't care. Just like he didn't care how many people in the Ash family died, none of this mattered.

Just because he wanted to split, so they split, just like always.
