Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 243 Testing
At the main entrance of the castle, the female vampire who was in charge of checking the guest invitations glanced at the invitation handed over by Lilith, then glanced at the two people beside her, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, but you can only bring one of them in. But the other can stay in the castle, and we'll arrange accommodation for him."

Lilith had expected this, so she nodded slightly and said politely:

"Then trouble you."

The female vampire with long red hair breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her gaze towards Yu Jin and ordered:

"Alina, take him to the guest room."

A young, beautiful maid with long sky-blue hair stepped forward behind her.

Lilith did not correct her grammatical errors. She touched the silver-haired girl's head and gently admonished her:
"Orniya, be good and obedient, don't run around~"

"Eh?"

The blue-haired maid called Elina froze in place, and hesitantly looked at her master. The red-haired female vampire was also stunned for a moment, because she originally thought that the blood food should be left behind.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and ordered:
"Alina, take Miss Ornia to the suite."

"Okay, master."

Elina responded respectfully.

The guest rooms are prepared for blood food, so don't expect the conditions to be very good.

The suites are prepared for the vampires, and the treatment is very different.

Alina walked up to Ornia and said respectfully:
"Miss Ornia, please follow me."

The silver-haired loli frowned and looked up at Lilith.

Lilith patted Ornia's little head with a smile, and patted her raised head down abruptly, saying earnestly:

"Orniya, be obedient. I'll bring you something delicious after the party~"

Ornia puffed up her face, but did not continue to be stubborn. She walked silently to Elena and followed her away.

Watching Ornia leave in another direction, Lilith's mood became even better. With a smile on her face, she took Yu Jin's arm and walked into the castle.

The red-haired vampire looked at Lilith's leaving back with a strange expression. After a while, he whispered:
"She is really beautiful, but it's a pity that she likes men."

Although it was just a murmur, the sound was quite loud. The maids standing in two rows at the door did not have any special reaction when they heard this, because they all knew their master's eccentric hobbies.

Lilith and Yu Jin walked through the corridors that were decorated ornately and lined with sculptures and paintings, and arrived at the magnificent party hall at the end. At the entrance of the hall, Olmer, who was talking with two vampires, also spotted Lilith and his eyes lit up.

But when he found that the person following Lilith was Yu Jin instead of Ornia, he frowned visibly. And when he found that Lilith was holding Yu Jin's arm intimately, his frown deepened.

But all this happened in just a moment. Olmer calmed down his expression in just a moment and greeted him with a cheerful face:
"Welcome, Miss Lilith."

"Good evening, Mr. Olmer."

Lilith smiled and nodded, but when she saw Olmer extending his hand, she did not offer him her hand to kiss. Instead, she asked curiously:
"Are these two your friends?"

Olmer saw that Lilith was indifferent, and his expression froze, but he quickly withdrew his hand naturally, smiled again, and introduced:
"Let me introduce you. This is Miss Lilith, from the Dorothy family in the west of the continent."

Then, Olmer pointed to the middle-aged gentleman with black hair, red eyes, a straight suit, and a mature and elegant temperament, and introduced him emphatically:

"This is Mr. Bertrand Dracula, he is the heir of the Dracula family."

"Good evening, Miss Lilith."

The middle-aged gentleman, Brant, smiled and nodded.

Lilith also smiled:
"Good evening, Mr. Berlant."

Olmer pointed to another young man with short blond hair, wearing a white shirt, a long suit, and a bow tie, and smiled:
"This is Novi Odra, he is the second son of the Odra family and also my good friend."

"Good evening." Nowei greeted him indifferently, with a lukewarm attitude.

"Good evening, Mr. Nowe." Lilith still smiled meticulously in return, but that was all.

Although it was her first time in the inner city, she could get some information even in the outer city. For example, there were twelve ancient blood clans in Landenheim, and Todbringer was the undisputed leader of the twelve clans. The Dracula family and the Odra family were both among the twelve clans.

Among them, only Lucius Todbringer, the patriarch of the Todbringer family, is a Sequence 2 angel. The patriarchs of the other eleven clans are only Sequence 4 or Sequence 3 demigods.

In this case, the addition of any clan with a demigod would change the political landscape of Landenheim, and the Dorothy clan was this variable.

In other words, in a sense, Lilith's "family" is not inferior to the Odra family that Novi belongs to. Therefore, she does not need to be humble when facing Novi.

Olmer noticed that the atmosphere was a little off and saved the situation in time:
"The party is about to start, let's go in and talk."

Lilith was confident that she could do anything. She smiled and followed the others towards the banquet hall. At the same time, she suddenly asked curiously:
"Mr. Olmer, do you know the red-haired vampire who is in charge of reception?"

"Red-haired vampire?"

Olmer was stunned for a moment, then he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and asked with a smile: “You are talking about Alyssa, right? She is my sister and the youngest member of the Toddbringer family. She…”

Olmer's expression became a little strange when he said this. He coughed dryly and said:

"Ms. Lilith, I suggest you keep your distance from her."

"Why?" Lilith's curiosity was aroused.

Olmer looked a little embarrassed and smiled bitterly:

"Because my sister likes women."

"Eh?"

Lilith blinked.

Olmer sighed and said helplessly:
"You should have seen a lot of young and beautiful maids at the gate of the castle, right? Those maids are Alyssa's blood servants, and they are also her concubines. It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the most beautiful young women in the entire Landenheim are under Alyssa's control. She doesn't need them herself, and she doesn't allow others to touch them."

"For this dinner, my eldest brother also paid a huge price to borrow these maids from Alyssa. But even so, Alyssa had to guard them personally, for fear that they would be snatched away by others..."

Olmer said this, rubbing his temple with a headache.

Norwe Odra and Bertrand Dracula on the side seemed to feel the same way, both with expressions of deep sorrow at seeing others squandering resources.

"Olmer, my good brother, won't you introduce me to your new friend?"

At this moment, a slightly teasing voice reached the ears of several people, and the entire hall suddenly became quiet.

Olmer looked over when he heard the voice and saw a blond young man not far away, surrounded by many vampires, walking towards them with a smile on his face.

Novi's expression was a little ugly, but Olmer's expression remained calm. Instead, he introduced generously:
"This is Lilith, from Dorothy's family."

After a pause, he continued:

"This is my eldest brother, the organizer of this party, Casey Todbringer." "Good evening, Miss Lilith."

Just like his brother Olmer, Casse was equally polite, smiling as he stepped forward and extended his hand to Lilith.

This action made the expressions of Nowe and Olmer become somewhat subtle.

"Good evening, Mr. Casse."

Lilith smiled and greeted him, but seemed not to have noticed Casse's outstretched hand and did not offer her hand.

Kasai's expression froze slightly, his hand hanging in the air, and after a while he withdrew it with a little embarrassment.

"puff!"

Nowe couldn't help laughing, which sounded particularly harsh in the quiet hall.

Olmer covered his mouth, his facial muscles twitching unnaturally, looking like he wanted to laugh but had to hold it back.

Although he had just experienced this, it was not embarrassing as long as no one knew about it. But Kasai was embarrassing himself in front of everyone, which was much more embarrassing than his.

Kasai's expression quickly returned to normal and he smiled:
"This is Miss Lilith's first time in Landenheim, so there may be many things she doesn't understand. But it doesn't matter. As long as Miss Lilith plans to live in Landenheim permanently, she will get to know this city well sooner or later."

"By then, if Miss Lilith encounters any trouble that cannot be solved, you can always ask me for help."

"Have fun, Miss Lilith."

After leaving some seemingly sincere words, Casse walked away, surrounded by a group of vampires.

Novi Odra looked a little unhappy, obviously taking Kasai's words as a provocation.

What does it mean that you can ask him for help when you encounter problems that you can't solve? Is Olmer a vegetarian?

Compared to Noel, Olmer's attitude was much more relaxed, and he even took the initiative to smile and suggest:
"What my eldest brother said is not wrong. If Miss Lilith encounters a problem that cannot be solved, she can ask me for help. The Todbringer family still has a certain status in Landenheim. If I really can't solve it, it won't be too late to bother my eldest brother."

Lilith's eyes lit up and she said with a smile:

"Come to think of it, I do have something I want to ask you for help with."

"Oh?"

Olmer's expression changed slightly, and he asked with a smile, "What kind of favor can it be? I think I can still help with general favors."

Lilith picked up a glass filled with scarlet liquid from the tray of the female waiter beside her and said casually:
"I want a pass for the inner city."

Olmer also picked up a glass of scarlet liquid and said with a smile:

"It's easy. We can do it before the party is over."

Lilith smiled and raised her glass, clinking it with Olmer's in the air. She then took a sip of blood, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Olmer smiled and asked:

"Ms. Lilith, what do you think of tonight's 'wine'?"

Lilith nodded, her tone seemed a little surprised:
"It's great. Its owner is young and energetic, and most importantly, she is a virgin."

"Yes."

Olmer shook his glass and explained with a helpless expression:
"In fact, these 'wine' were also provided by my sister."

Lilith understood immediately that just borrowing those maids for reception work was not enough to make Kasai pay a huge price. The most important thing was the "wine" tonight.

For vampires, they prefer drinking human blood compared to other races.

Even humans are divided into different levels. The blood of young people is better than that of old people, and the blood of women is better than that of men. But it is not good to be too young either. If you are too young and have not grown up yet, your blood will not taste good.

And the vampires are typical face control——

The same is true for blood. Vampires can even taste the beauty or ugliness of the blood owner.

So after comprehensive consideration, the blood of young and beautiful virgins is undoubtedly the best "wine" in the eyes of vampires.

But the blood of young and beautiful virgins is not so easy to find.

After all, it was easy to find young and beautiful girls, but it was difficult to keep them virgins. Alyssa was the only one who was different. She didn't like men but liked young and beautiful girls. This led to her keeping a large number of young and beautiful virgins.

Whenever someone wanted to hold a banquet, they would spend a huge amount of money to ask Alyssa for help.

Because the high-quality 'fine wine' needed for the banquet can only be provided in large quantities by Alyssa.

Of course, not all vampires can taste whether the blood owner is a virgin, and not all vampires can taste the beauty or ugliness of the blood owner, at least underage and adult vampires cannot do so.

They can only roughly taste whether the quality of the blood is high enough.

As for whether the owner of the blood is a virgin after tasting it, only vampires above the baron level can do it.

Of course, the blood clan is not divided into dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons.

Before the actual fight, they won't know the specific strength of the opponent.

Therefore, without fighting, the amount of information obtained by tasting blood is the best criterion for judging the strength of both parties.

This glass of 'wine' is also a kind of temptation.

If Lilith couldn't tell the information about her virginity, it would mean that she was at most an ordinary adult vampire. Then she would inevitably be at a disadvantage in the conversation with Olmer and the others, because she had revealed her true colors.

On the contrary, if it is confirmed that Lilith's strength is above that of a 'Baron', their attitude will also change.

Omer and Novi looked at each other, and Novi immediately understood and asked casually:
"Does Miss Lilith plan to live in Landenheim permanently?"

"There is such a plan." Lilith did not comment.

Olmer smiled and asked:

"If you need to find a house, I can help. Well, how about that one?"

Olmer walked to the balcony, pointed to a spire building in the distance, and introduced:
"That place once belonged to a small family, but their clan leader died unexpectedly in battle, and their blood essence could not be recovered. Although that family can still live in the inner city, they no longer have the qualifications to live in the castle."

After a pause of one second, Olmer asked again with concern:
"It's a little small, but it should be enough, right?"

"enough."

Lilith observed for a moment and said softly:
"My family was attacked by a giant dragon during the migration. Many members died under the dragon's breath. There are not many people left."

Yu Jin had a strange expression on his face. There really weren't many left. After all, Lilith was the only one left in Dorothy's family...
