Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 244 Shadow under the Moonlight
Although the Dorothy family had been completely wiped out except for Lilith, Olmer and the others did not know this. In their eyes, Lilith's words meant that although the Dorothy family had suffered some losses, the main force was still there.

After all, the Dorothy family has a demigod, which is the status of the Twelve Families in Landenheim. How could they be wiped out so easily? Moreover, if they were really wiped out, how did Lilith survive with an underage vampire and a blood food?

So the answer is obvious -

The vitality of Dorothy's family was preserved. Lilith went into the city alone to gather intelligence, such as the specific power structure of Landenheim, and whether the twelve families welcomed the entry of foreign forces? What was their attitude towards foreign forces?

This behavior was not surprising to Olmer and others. It was normal for Dorothy's family to be wary of Landenheim.

Although Olmer believed that Landenheim was not averse to foreign families, given the scale of Landenheim, it did have the ability to kill a foreign family and plunder the blood essence of all members of this family!

In other words, if Dorothy's family really went directly into the city at the beginning, they would almost certainly be in a situation where they could be slaughtered!
Although Landenheim would not do something as tactical as killing the chicken to keep warm by encircling and suppressing foreign families to plunder their blood essence, he would definitely label the Dorothy family as "naive". At the same time, when dealing with the Dorothy family, he would inevitably set some traps for the Dorothy family to fall into.

Now the Dorothy family only sent Lilith to enter the city with a blood food and her sister, which was undoubtedly the smartest thing to do. First of all, Lilith must be the direct bloodline of the Dorothy family. Her entry into the city itself is a signal released by the Dorothy family. Whether to enter the city depends on what kind of information Lilith can bring back to the Dorothy family. The initiative is always in the hands of the Dorothy family.

This undoubtedly made Olmer look up to the Dorothy family, and he became more convinced that cooperating with the Dorothy family was the wisest choice he could make.

however.

The premise of all these speculations is that Dorothy's family really exists.

With Dorothy's family already destroyed, all Olmer and the others were doing was a battle of wits and courage with the air.

"Miss Lilith?"

Just as they were discussing, a surprised voice sounded from behind them.

Lilith turned around in confusion and saw a brown-haired girl in a black dress not far away looking at her in surprise. She was a little uncertain at first, but when she saw Lilith's face, she immediately became extremely surprised and said excitedly:

"Ms. Lilith, do you remember me? I'm Stacy!"

"Stacy?"

Lilith frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized something and asked in surprise, "Are you Rosen's daughter?"

"it's me."

The girl named Stacy saw that Lilith finally recognized her and said in a joyful voice, "Ms. Lilith, I never expected to meet you here."

"I didn't expect that either." Lilith smiled politely.

Stacy looked around for a while and asked curiously:
"Where's Sister Dorothy? Is she here too?"

Lilith still had a faint smile on her face, but did not answer. Instead, she looked at Olmer beside her with a smile.

Olmer immediately understood, stopped Stacey who wanted to get closer, and said with a smile:

"Excuse me, Miss Stacy, we have something important to discuss. Could you please come back later to chat?"

"Okay, okay."

Stacy just stopped, nodded hesitantly, and said apologetically:
"Sorry to bother you."

After watching Stacy turn and leave, Lilith suddenly asked with a smile:
"Did you invite her?"

Olmer knew what she meant and explained:
"It has nothing to do with me. She belongs to my eldest brother."

His eldest brother was obviously suspicious of Lilith's identity, so he specially asked Stacy, who also migrated from the West Coast, to identify her. Of course, this also indirectly helped Olmer confirm Lilith's identity, which was also a favor to him.

Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze accurately captured Stacy's figure through the crowd. Stacy had already passed through the crowd to the other side of the hall, turned right into the corridor on the side, and Lilith lost her sight.

"Has your identity been confirmed?"

On the balcony at the corner of the corridor, Casse shook the red wine and asked lightly.

Stacy folded her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed slightly and said in a reserved manner:
"Lord Casse, she is indeed Miss Lilith. I have had the honor of meeting her before."

Casse, who was originally sipping the scarlet liquid, put down his glass and asked as if to confirm:

"So, she really is from Dorothy's family?"

Stacy nodded slightly and explained:
"Ms. Lilith is Dorothy's biological sister and the only direct bloodline of Dorothy's family. Sister Dorothy once said that she would not give birth, but would leave her blood essence to Miss Lilith..."

The expression on Stacy's face was quite complicated, with undisguised envy and difficult to conceal jealousy.

"The only direct bloodline..."

Casse frowned slightly and murmured softly.

As the eldest son of the Todbringer family, he certainly knew what it meant to be the only direct bloodline. And even for Casse, the eldest son of the Todbringer family, this was something to be envied.

After all, with Lucius's strength, it would take at least thousands of years for him to survive until his natural death. By then, Casse would have long turned into a handful of earth!
Yes, as the descendants of Lucius, it doesn't matter whether they are the eldest son or not. Because they can't live to see the day when Lucius dies naturally, and they can't inherit the essence of Lucius' blood!
In fact, even if he could wait until the day when Lucius died, he would not be able to inherit Lucius' blood essence. Because before the vampires sense their own death, they usually give birth to offspring in advance and pass on all the blood essence to their offspring.

The eldest son does not have any advantage. Instead, the last-born child has the greatest chance of inheriting everything!
Even if Lucius did not die of old age but died in an accident, it would not be Casse's turn.

Because Lucius is already a genuine god, and the energy contained in the blood essence of a god is too huge, only patriarch-level vampires are qualified to attempt a fusion.

As the offspring of Lucius, Casse was born a powerful vampire, just a step away from becoming the patriarch. However, this step was like a chasm in front of him that he could never cross!
After all, it is not easy to obtain the blood essence of the clan leader level. So far, only the clan leaders of the twelve families are strong people at this level. Even if they die, their blood essence will be given priority to their descendants.

This is true not only for Casse, but also for other descendants of Lucius. Whether it is Olmer or Alyssa, they are all born strong, and they are born to inherit a part of Lucius's blood essence, and they are born only one step away from the patriarch. But just like Casse, they will never be able to cross this step in their lifetime.

After all, there was no way they could inherit the throne, as they were not direct descendants of the clan leaders. It was even more impossible to rob them, as they were only one step away from becoming clan leaders, but their strength was vastly different.

Even the weakest patriarch among the twelve families can easily defeat them.

"My brother is really lucky."

Casse suddenly sneered and waved his hand:
"You go down first."

Stacy bowed respectfully, then backed out of the corridor and returned to the banquet hall.

Casse was still standing on the balcony, looking at the blood moon in the sky. His expression suddenly became uncertain, and occasionally looked a little ferocious, as if someone was whispering in his ear.

Snapped!
Casse suddenly crushed the wine glass, and the scarlet liquid instantly bloomed into a short-lived bright red rose along with the broken glass body, and then splashed everywhere, leaving several stains on Casse's exquisite dress. "She's back."

Olmer suddenly whispered something, and then took a sip of wine as if nothing had happened.

It has to be a virgin’s blood!
Olmer squinted his eyes in enjoyment. Although Alyssa had some problems with her sexual orientation, it was thanks to her that she was able to raise a large number of virgin blood food. Otherwise, he might not be able to enjoy such high-quality blood.

However, speaking of blood food...

Olmer suddenly hesitated, as if he had overlooked something. He subconsciously glanced at Lilith, who was still observing Stacy in the distance.

But what did I forget? I can't seem to remember...

"Wait! Where's her blood food?!"

Olmer frowned, finally realizing that he had forgotten something.

In this banquet hall attended by all vampires, the blood food brought by Lilith stood out from the crowd.

But since he entered the banquet hall, he seemed to have never seen the blood eater. Where did he go? Could he have been taken away by some blind vampire to suck his blood?

Olmer's eye twitched. If someone died, Lilith would probably hold him accountable.

Thinking of this, Olmer decided to be cautious and said with a dry cough:

"Ms. Lilith, your blood food seems to be missing."

Lilith seemed to have just remembered that her blood food was missing, and said casually:
"Don't worry, it's a common occurrence. He will come back on his own in a while."

Olmer was a little surprised. This sentence was like talking about a pet that was out foraging. It seemed that he didn't worry about his pet getting into trouble. This was completely different from Lilith's attitude towards the blood food. She left her sister alone and brought a blood food to the party. This was surprising and gave people the impression that the blood food was very important to her.

But looking at Lilith's current appearance, she doesn't seem to care about the safety of the blood eater at all.

Did he guess wrong?

Olmer frowned even deeper and asked tentatively:

"Aren't you worried that he might be in danger?"

"can you?"

Lilith asked back with a smile.

Although she asked this, Lilith knew better than anyone that Yu Jin would not be in danger because he was the biggest danger.

【Invisible Body】

[Ancient Golden Magic Kingdom──
The lost magic of Urasil.

Can make the whole body transparent.

To prevent it from disappearing completely,

You can still vaguely see the figure of the caster.

But if you stand still,
It will blend into the surrounding scenery.
It won’t be easily discovered. 】

With the help of the invisible body spell, Yu Jin quietly followed Stacy away without alerting anyone. He witnessed her conversation with Casse and also witnessed Casse's fan diagram performance under the red moon.

But this was not the focus of Yu Jin's attention, so he did not stay for too long and soon left the scene.

The castle of the Todbringer family is called a castle, but in fact it is as big as a palace.

Compared to Landenheim, it's like the Forbidden City in the capital.

The interior is interconnected and it is easy to get lost.

But for Yu Jin, this environment is still good.

At least there is no need to take shortcuts here, and there are no areas that can be seen but cannot be passed.

In addition, he had already locked onto the target, so now he only needed to move forward towards the set target. Even if he accidentally walked into a dead end, he could always go back and take another route.

This is already a familiar process for Yu Jin, who often needs to open maps.

Finally, Ember stopped in front of a heavy double door.

His target was inside.

Crunch!

Just as he was about to walk forward and push the door open, the door in front of him seemed to have life, slowly opening with a heavy thumping sound. The gap in the double-leaf door slowly opened like a giant mouth, as if welcoming, or waiting for prey to come to the door on its own initiative -

This is not a metaphor, but a description.

Because the sides of the two double doors were covered with densely packed teeth, and they were making a creaking sound!

"Please come in."

A mellow voice came from the hall.

Yu Jin removed his invisible body, calmly walked through the toothy door, and entered the wide hall with a high dome. On both sides of the hall were translucent stained glass, and the crimson moonlight poured down without reservation, illuminating everything in the hall.

There were no extra decorations in the hall. Instead, the ground and walls were covered with grass, flowers and grains. Many insects were crawling among the dense plants, and life was thriving.

There are cracked mouths on the grass, and fibers fly out of them to catch insects; flowers use branches and leaves as hands to pick nectar by themselves; grains such as wheat are heavy, and occasionally there are cries coming out of them; insects are divided into many categories, all different from normal ones, some have snake heads, and some have bird faces...

These "lives" grew more luxuriant as they moved toward the center of the hall, stretching all the way to a throne at the end that seemed to be made of blood jade. A tall figure shrouded in crimson moonlight sat on the throne, looking down at all living things.

Yu Jin only glanced at it and then looked away, as if the figure sitting on the throne was not worth mentioning. His eyes calmly but unusually swept across the corner of the hall and landed on a shadow illuminated by the crimson moonlight.
