The Path of Ascension to the Priest

The guards at Rose Manor were not strict, and Lucille, who was already very familiar with the place, easily sneaked in with Tang Qiu.

There are nobles wearing masks along the road. Lucille put the prepared mask on Tang Qiu's face. Tang Qiu specially changed into a pure white cloak this time, and with her snow-white hair after transforming into a werewolf, After wearing the mask, even if you meet acquaintances, you will never guess her identity.

She reached out to hold Lucille's arm, and the two walked on the path surrounded by flowers, perfectly blending into the crowd.

Tang Qiu looked at the nobles passing by while walking, and saw that they were either holding a vampire, or a dark elf or a priest by a chain, frowned indistinctly, and whispered to Lucille, "Aren't these nobles afraid of becoming food for the blood clan?"

The dark elves and priests are imprisoned by special chains and cannot resist, so it is understandable that these nobles are not afraid of being hurt by them, but the blood race is not imprisoned.

Lucille explained in a low voice: "The nobles are all wearing protective equipment. If a blood race violently hurts someone, other blood races will come to solve it."

"There is a four-generation blood clan here, and these blood clans are all her descendants, so no one dares to violently hurt others."

Tang Qiu looked away thoughtfully, and began to look at the buildings here.

The Rose Manor was even more gorgeous than she had imagined. She had just been to the palace a few days ago, and comparing the two, she felt that the Rose Manor was more luxurious.

For blood clans that live forever and have many descendants, the wealth accumulated by any blood clan that has lived for hundreds of thousands of years is much more than that of a nobleman with a long history.

So, the blood clan established this rose manor to please the nobles, what exactly do they want to get from them?

Some blood slaves?Tang Qiu thought it would be a bit ridiculous if this was the answer.

Lucille seemed to know what Tang Qiu was thinking. She lowered her voice and told her the guesses she had obtained during her investigation in the Rose Manor, "The nobles use slaves to auction elves and priests."

"There are four entrances to the Rose Manor, and there are noble carriages that continuously transport slaves in every day."

The nobles will more or less hold hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of slaves. They control the fate of these people. In the past, they were just randomly sent to some places as labor, but now, for the nobles, It is more cost-effective to send priests and elves here to trade for beauty.

These slaves are the nobles themselves, unlike the civilians outside, no one will notice even if they disappear.

If the blood race wanted to arrest humans on the Staru Continent, the Holy See would definitely take action for its own prestige and reputation.

But if it is a slave sent by these nobles, there is no need to worry about attracting attention. The life of a slave is like an ant, and no one will care at all.

There are countless slaves transported to Rose Manor every day, and it is impossible to just use these people as blood slaves.

Tang Qiu frowned, "What's the use of the blood clan taking these slaves?"

Lucille shook her head, "I don't know yet, the guards in some places are very strict, and unless you forcefully break in, you won't be able to get in at all."

The two of them followed the flow of people to the most lively auditorium in Rose Manor. It seemed that there was no difference between day and night. Even though it was already late at night, the nobles who came and went were still in high spirits.

Because the fixed auction time has not yet arrived, there are not many nobles in the auditorium. Tang Qiu walked around inside and went out with Lucille from another exit of the auditorium without seeing anyone who looked like Prince Goss. .

Tang Qiu has never seen the real person of Prince Goss, and only has a portrait given to her by Maggie in his hand. To be honest, it is still difficult to find Prince Goss when everyone is wearing a mask.

"It is said that the blood clan has prepared three dark elves tonight. All the nobles in the manor should gather here later." Lucille followed Tang Qiu on a bench next to the auditorium, speaking flatly. Said.

Tang Qiu, who was looking at the nobles in the past, raised her eyebrows when she heard that a nobleman was leading a dark elf walking past. She glanced at it and asked curiously, "Are dark elves also living in the elves?"

The appearance and figure of the elves are impeccable, even the dark elves, but unlike the elves who look beautiful and elegant, the dark skin of the dark elves makes them seem to be shrouded in darkness all the time.

Compared with the friendly and gentle elves, most of the dark elves are more indifferent and world-weary.

Except for the elves, no one knew how the dark elves were bred. Some people said that it was because the tree of life was polluted by darkness, but this statement has never received a response from the elves.

Unlike ordinary elves, dark elves hate light. They can mobilize dark elements from birth, and they have an innate advantage over black witches.

Just like werewolves and elves, the number of dark elves is even rarer.

Tang Qiu had already seen three dark elves along the way, plus the three that Lucille just said, there must be at least six dark elves in Rose Manor.

Where did the blood race catch so many dark elves?Tang Qiu was puzzled in his heart, and felt that things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Lucille didn't know much about elves, so she just shook her head at Tang Qiu's question.

The two sat on the bench and waited patiently for a while. The time for the auction hadn't come yet. Instead, Lola appeared from nowhere and sat down opposite them, while eyeing Tang Qiu suspiciously. On the one hand, he said to Lucille with a mysterious face: "I found a strange place."

Lucille glanced at her and asked, "Where?"

Lola narrowed her eyes, "Remember where we found those rotten fruit shells in the ruins of Bill's Rose Manor?"

"There is a similar existence here."

Lucille's eyes moved slightly, and she had already stood up following Lola. Tang Qiu frowned, turned her gaze between Lucille and Lola, and finally settled on Lucille, asking: : "Where are you talking about?"

It sounded like they had found something in Rose Manor, but Lucille didn't tell her.

Lucille stretched out her hand to pull Tang Qiu up, and reminded her in a low voice, "Remember the little green seedling I planted in the manor? That's where I found it."

The little green seedling hasn't changed much since it was planted, so after they left Bill, they didn't transplant it out, and it was still planted in her manor.

Tang Qiu nodded his head clearly. Lola only confirmed her identity after hearing what she said, looked her up and down, curled her lips, and muttered in a low voice, "It's really a werewolf, a werewolf has something Why can't you think about it and run to the Holy See."

Tang Qiu blinked, staring at Lola's back silently, her hands hidden under the cloak were a little itchy, she touched the sharp nails, looked away and pretended not to hear her complaints.

Lola has stayed in the Rose Manor much longer than Lucille. Coupled with the characteristics of their clan, she already knows the whole manor well except for the heavily guarded places where there is really no way to get in.

Avoiding the crowd all the way, the three of them came to the place Lola mentioned. This is the northernmost side of the manor. None guarded.

It was not difficult for Tang Qiu and the other three to enter here without disturbing the blood clans who were patrolling outside. Lola bent down and opened the lid of the cellar, signaling Tang Qiu and Lucille to come in with her.

In the dark space and the turbid air, Tang Qiu counted the steps and walked down one step at a time. The werewolf's vision was not affected by the darkness. After she stepped on the soft ground, she turned her head to look around.

The space under the cellar was very large, more like a place to store things, but the rancid smell in the air made Tang Qiu suspect that this might be a place where the blood race disposed of the corpses.

Lola walked to a corner, kicked the green husks piled up in the corner, and signaled Lucille to come over and look, "Look at this."

Lucille walked over to take a look, frowning slightly, she bent down and picked one up, because the shell hadn't rotted yet, so she could smell a faint fragrance from it.

"I also found some strange things." When Lola mentioned the strangeness, her expression was a little strange. She walked to Tang Qiu's side and picked up a piece of incompletely dissolved skeleton on a piece of dark ground. The skeleton was very The small ones are like small animals.

Tang Qiu walked over to take a look, frowned, "There is a dark aura."

Lola threw the thing away and shrugged, "That's why I said it was a strange thing."

Lucille walked over holding the nutshell, looked down at the bones on the ground, Tang Qiu glanced at the thing in her hand, smelled a familiar fragrance, she took the nutshell suspiciously, and lowered her eyes to observe carefully After a while, he said slowly, "I know what this is."

Lola and Lucille looked up at the same time, looking at her in surprise.

Tang Qiu took out the elven fruit from the Garden of Eden in the space gem. As soon as the turquoise fruit appeared in his palm, the turbid air in the cellar was purified, and the fresh fragrance surrounded everyone.

Lucille took the green fruit with a blank expression, and lowered her head to compare it with the shell. Tang Qiu saw Lola looking at him suspiciously, and explained the origin of the fruit, "It was picked from the tree of life. "

The tree of life... Lola's heart moved, "Is this the fruit used by elves to breed offspring?"

Tang Qiu nodded, and revealed another thing that shocked Lola, "The elves' tree of life is now in the Vatican."

Tang Qiu and Lucille had mentioned seeing the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, but they hadn't shown her the elven fruit.

Lola no longer knew whether she should be surprised that the husk came from an elf fruit, or that the tree of life belonging to the elves actually stayed in the Holy See.

All in all, both events were shocking and unexpected.

Tang Qiu glanced at Lucille, and said his original guess, "I suspect that the elven fruit is also effective for other races, for example..." She glanced at Lola, "You blood race."

"The vampires only need to be embraced by humans to reproduce." Lola looked puzzled, "What's the point of using elven fruits to reproduce?"

Lucille handed back the elven fruit to Tang Qiu, her dark red eyes were covered with a layer of frost, her expression was cold and her voice was cold, "It depends on the purpose of those who try to create a hybrid."

This elven fruit made her more certain that the birth of her and Lola was artificial at all.
