Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Unlike Alman's clone, Duke Chalbliss is one of the strongest vampires. He does not hide his actions. Although his whereabouts are not known to the whole continent, it is still quite easy to contact him. Such "big shots" will leave their subordinates in various places, and you just need to find these people.

Especially when the information about the "Dragon's Blood" that he was interested in was brought up, everyone would have this thought: What if?

Regardless of whether it was true or not, he was definitely willing to give it a try. After all, Baron Fisher and Alman were both subordinates of the old leader, so it was not impossible for them to know some information in this regard. If it was easy to obtain dragon blood, Chalbliss naturally didn't want to wait any longer.

Aisha nodded and asked, "Have you agreed on a meeting place with him?"

"Just outside the imperial border," said Alman, and then quickly added, "It was designated by Duke Charblis."

"Where's the time?"

"He said it would happen in two days..." Alman paused, then said hesitantly, "But Duke Charlbliss probably won't be there in person. I guess he'll just send someone to investigate, but we don't have any dragon blood..."

"Really? That's fine. Don't worry about it. Just arrange the meeting."

369. Who is stronger, the Duke or the Demon General?

Dragon blood is a very precious thing. For the dragon itself, dragon blood is the original blood that is nourished in the heart and mixed with the breath of the soul. If a dragon loses its dragon blood, even if it does not die from having its heart broken, it will definitely spend the rest of its life in weakness.

Almost no dragon will voluntarily donate its dragon blood, so if you want to obtain dragon blood, there is only one way - hunting dragons.

Dragons are rare and highly gregarious creatures. Few people have the strength to hunt dragons, and no one dares to hunt them without permission - unless the target is a dragon that has been exiled from its tribe. Otherwise, once someone kills a dragon, what awaits them is the revenge of the entire dragon tribe.

Therefore, dragon blood is very rare.

"But we don't really need to use dragon blood to deal with it. As long as we can find the Duke, right?"

Tricia smiled.

The so-called dragon blood is just a bait, or it can't even be considered a bait, because Tricia doesn't have any dragon blood in her hands, but it doesn't matter. As long as the fish bites the hook, Tricia will naturally have a way to make the other party speak. Once she finds the Duke himself, everything that follows will be easy to solve.

Elsa nodded, thoughtfully.

"The vampire dukes... who's stronger, them or the demon generals?"

Elsa was not worried that she could not defeat the opponent. This confidence also came from her trust in Tricia, but it was always good to know more about the opponent.

"That's a good question. If compared to the Undead General Tobias, the Blood Duke is certainly superior in terms of direct combat capabilities. However, they cannot destroy the Undead General Tobias. Their magic will only make Tobias stronger with each battle. Therefore, as long as they are given enough time, the Blood Duke will definitely be defeated in the end."

Tricia said, then changed her tone.

"Of course, each demon general has its own strengths. For example, the War Demon General is powerful enough to rival the Demon King. He also has extensive combat experience and a domineering and powerful fighting style. Whenever he appears on the battlefield, you must avoid his edge at all times. If compared with him, the Blood Duke has no chance of winning."

Elsa didn't ask how the War Demon was defeated. In short, the fact that its sword was now in Elsa's hands spoke volumes.

……

The time agreed with Duke Charlbliss is two days later, or to be more precise, it should be the night of two days later, as night is the active time for vampires.

Armand and Baron Fisher continued with their work.

Elsa and Tricia also had many other plans during this period.

One of them is the purge of other vampire cadres and vampire members in Alman's organization. In fact, this organization established by the old leader is not a large-scale organization. To be precise, it should be a small group composed of elite vampires. The organization does not even have a name. They do not seem to have thought about using any means to make the organization closely united. It can also be seen that the organization in the hands of the old leader is just a loose group connected by the old leader alone.

Many members of the organization actually have certain identities, especially the cadres. The organization itself is not large, but most of the cadres have a group of loyal subordinates. The old leader assigns tasks to all cadres, and the cadres dispatch their subordinates to do things, thus forming a complete top-down system.

Since the news of the old leader's death spread, some cadres fled for fear of being held accountable by the empire, but the rest of them gathered more closely around the new leader, Alman's clone. This was undoubtedly a target that needed to be eliminated by the empire.

According to the information confessed by Alman, these vampire cadres are distributed in multiple regions, and some have even extended their reach to other provinces of the empire. The organization also has spheres of influence outside the empire. It is not an easy task to eradicate the organization.

This task is naturally assigned to the Empire, but this work cannot be rushed. We must wait for the opportunity and find a way to catch them all in one fell swoop. Otherwise, the Empire's actions will easily arouse the vigilance of Alman's clone, and the previous investigation work will be in vain.

So Tricia only asked Alman and Baron Fisher to accumulate the intelligence in their hands and compile the intelligence of more and more cadres, but did not immediately hand over the information to the Queen.

In addition, Tricia also began to study the "sealing technique" - this technique was woven based on Elsa's idea, so that one day Elsa's body fluids can be stored intact.

In order to cooperate with Tricia's research, Elsa also provided some of her own body fluids from time to time. By the way, under Tricia's guidance, she started to learn and consolidate the basic theories of magic from scratch, and tried to learn the basics of space magic.

Laying a solid foundation is crucial for any skill. Elsa wants to use this to improve her control over magic. After all, Elsa lived in an era of information explosion in her previous life, and she accepted and understood new knowledge quickly, but she found it difficult to consolidate and practice it - because Elsa could not experience the learning process at all. Any magic she constructed was a matter of a split second. As long as she had a thought, she would either provide enough magic power to succeed, or insufficient magic power to fail. There were almost no steps in between. Even if she wanted to experience the process of magic construction in detail, she couldn't. This also made it difficult for Elsa to combine theory with application.

It's like using a calculator to help with arithmetic. Although it's fast and accurate, it makes it difficult to improve your sensitivity to numbers and your ability to apply knowledge. As a result, Elsa's magic learning progress is extremely slow, and she has no practical sense of magic theory, which makes Elsa feel a little distressed, which is rare.

Tricia had an indescribable expression on her face. She seemed to want to laugh, but seemed to feel that laughing was inappropriate.

"Is this what's bothering Elsa? It's really enviable."

But she didn't look jealous at all, instead she seemed to be gloating - in a sense, it was indeed a good thing to see Elsa distressed about something.

Charlie was not idle either. With Kingsley acting as her vanguard, Charlie easily dealt with the few unwilling vampires in Baron Fisher's territory. They were divided according to the imperial laws. Some were imprisoned, and a few, such as Rorel, who were directly or indirectly guilty of murder, were mostly executed. The death of these vampires immediately cast a shadow of fear on the remaining vampires, and Kingsley worked harder.

Time passed slowly, but before the night of two days later, the Barony of Fisher welcomed an uninvited guest.

dragon.

370. Angry Dragon (5.5K)

It was evening when the dragon appeared. The heavy snow for several consecutive days had painted the cold north a spotless white, so that the black figure of the dragon was so eye-catching when it appeared in the distant sky that the crows that had been patrolling over the Baron Fisher's territory noticed its traces at the first time.

In terms of visual ability alone, the eyesight of the crow, a familiar that has been specially enhanced by reconnaissance magic, is no weaker than that of any scout who excels in farsighted magic.

It flapped its wings and let out a long, hoarse cry.

The people in the territory were still unaware of all this. They just looked up at the empty sky, as if they thought they might have heard it wrong, shook their heads, and didn't care anymore.

At the same time, in the luxurious room of the castle—

The sound of dripping water came from the bathroom; Elsa was taking a bath.

Tonight they will leave the northern border of the empire and go to the territory of the Vampire Grand Duke. After leaving the Barony of Fisher, they don't know when they will have the conditions to take a bath next time. Although Elsa does not sweat and therefore will not develop an unpleasant odor due to not taking a bath for a long time, Elsa just likes the feeling of taking a bath. This may be a habit left over from the previous life.

Charlie was lying on the sofa, propped up by her arms, holding a thick book and slowly flipping through it - but her attention was obviously not on the book. Instead, she used the cover of reading to stare at the direction of the bathroom, although she could only see a little bit of mist.

The tip of my nose spared no effort to sniff the faint water vapor floating in the air, as if I could really smell some fragrance. My ears also never relaxed for a moment, distinguishing the sound of water, as focused as if I was enjoying a beautiful piece of music.

At the desk, Tricia was concentrating on trying to use space magic to seal a drop of transparent liquid. There was a thick stack of notes at her hand, all filled with symbols and patterns that ordinary people could not understand.

Tricia muttered something to herself thoughtfully, then moved her lips forward again, and her small tongue rolled the water droplets between her lips, feeling them carefully.

"The blood's effects are clearly stronger than the others, but I feel like something's missing... How on earth did this blood allow Shirley to become the Original?"

This is also what Tricia has always been puzzled about. The evolution of the bloodline of the vampires is not a smooth road. There are ravines and potholes along the way. What the vampires have to do is to try their best to repair these "imperfections" and achieve the so-called "perfect blood", that is, the ancestral bloodline. They usually absorb a large amount of blood from different species to nourish their bloodline.

To the vampires, the blood of any creature is "one-sided". Simply sucking human blood is far from enough to refine the bloodline to the most powerful state. That is why the Duke is obsessed with dragon blood. The dragon clan possesses the most ancient and powerful bloodline on this continent. They are considered by the vampires to be the race closest to "perfection" in the world. They are also one of the few races in which "individuals holding the veil of God" have long existed.

The existence of the "Veil of God" described by arcane magic is the key to whether a race can ascend to the throne of rulership.

The most powerful race on the continent now is humans, followed by elves, then demons and demi-humans. Except for the demi-humans who have long existed as vassals of humans, the first three are powerful races that have produced individuals who possess the "God's Curtain".

The Saint of the "God of Man" and the Demon King of the "God of Demons".

But they were all just a flash in the pan. For most of the time in the history of the development of humans and demons, there were actually no such powerful individuals on both sides. And the Elf Queen, the "God of Elves", could only obtain the blessing of the "God's Curtain" when she relied on the power of the World Tree. After the World Tree withered, all this was out of the question. Otherwise, the Demon King's army would never have been able to invade the elf town of Alatya.

In comparison, the "God of Man" is actually the weakest holder of the divine veil.

However, the strongest one is not any of the three, but the "God of Dragons", the Dragon King. He has always looked down at this continent with a condescending attitude. Unlike the saint who is extremely brilliant when he comes but always falls quickly and the demon king who is once powerful, the power of the Dragon King is eternal. Every generation of Dragon King must be blessed by the veil of gods. Its power has always been so strong. The lifespan of the Dragon King breaks the lifespan limit of 500 years of the dragon clan. During the time it becomes king, it is enough for it to sit in charge of the dragon clan for 500 years. This is a very scary number. The existence of the previous Dragon King can be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of the empire, witnessing the rise and fall of a great era.

Fortunately, the dragon race is naturally solitary, or even arrogant. They never take the initiative to interact with other forces in the world, and are almost never tempted by any power or wealth. Although there have always been dragons traveling to various parts of the continent, they rarely interfere in the struggles of other races.

The dragon clan is just the dragon clan, and the situation on the continent has never had anything to do with them.

I just don't know why a giant dragon suddenly appeared in the territory of the empire this time. Tricia always felt that the timing was a bit too coincidental, but she didn't know where this subtle sense of incongruity came from. It was just a very difficult to describe intuition.

At this moment, Tricia raised her head as if she sensed something, frowned slightly, and the magic circle in her hand also collapsed and disappeared.

A light breeze wrapped in snowflakes blew over the castle, and a black feather fell in front of her eyes, turning into a thick black mist like ink dropped into water. Tricia raised her eyes and the shadow of a crow emerged from the black mist, along with the figure of a giant dragon approaching quickly in the distance as seen from the crow's perspective.

"dragon?"

Tricia stood up, staring at the dragon's figure, squinting her eyes slightly. The dragon's black shadow became more and more obvious. Tricia could almost see the black dragon's golden vertical pupils - the black dragon seemed to have noticed something and was also looking at Tricia through the black mist.

"Black Dragon..."

Tricia stared into the black mist.

The dragon bloodline is ancient and powerful, and the black dragon bloodline is a very prominent branch within the dragon clan.

The black dragon is the largest dragon and one of the oldest and purest dragon bloodlines. It enjoys a high status within the dragon clan. An adult black dragon can even be as large as an ocean-going ship. When it flies over people's heads, it will bring an astonishing sight of covering the sky and the sun, and the heavy oppressive feeling is suffocating. Therefore, the terrible dragon is often described as black in the mouths of bards.

There are few black dragons that are proficient in all aspects of dragon language magic. This is also the biggest difference between them and other dragons. Most dragons have innate powerful magical talents, but the black dragon's magical talent is much weaker. However, the lack of magic is exchanged for the most terrifying body on the continent of Ryan Carnia - black dragon scales that are harder than any metal, with enough power to crush city walls and even flatten mountains. Even within the dragon clan, the black dragon is definitely a symbol of savagery and strength.

Even compared with other dragons, the black dragon's frontal combat capability is terrifying enough.

Tricia observed for a few seconds and judged from the direction of the black dragon's flight that it would definitely pass over the territory of Baron Fisher. Although she didn't know where its final destination was or what its purpose was in coming here, Tricia would not really allow a black dragon to continue "strolling" in human territory.

Tricia crushed the last bit of magical light in her palm, and the next second the light of the teleportation circle flashed from under her feet. Tricia appeared in front of Baron Fisher and Alman in a flash. At this time, they were completely unaware of the arrival of the dragon and were still working hard to organize intelligence.

"Be prepared. If a giant dragon attacks, evacuate the people immediately."

After saying this, before Baron Fisher and Alman could react, Tricia disappeared again in a flash.

Alman was used to this, but he was curious about the dragon that Tricia mentioned. Baron Fisher on the side was simply stunned - with his position, even if he had some experience, he could naturally see how incredible Tricia's methods were for a magician.

However, this woman has been following behind Elsa without showing her strength, and I thought she was an archer. Is she really that powerful?

……

On the other side, Tricia returned to the room again. The first person she saw was Charlie, who was blushing. She was wondering, and then she saw Elsa appear naked in front of her, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Did something happen?"

Elsa looked at Tricia's face with concern and asked seriously. It seemed that Elsa didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, Charlie and Tricia felt a little shy.

"I heard the crows. Did they find something?" Elsa explained. It was because she heard the crows' long, alert cries that she immediately came out of the bathroom. "—Wait a moment, I'll get dressed and be done soon."

Only then did Tricia notice the clothes in Elsa's hand, and Charlie beside her had already picked up her sword.

Tricia knew now was not the time to be procrastinating or shy, so she said briefly, "A dragon has appeared. I don't know if this dragon is the same one that appeared in Kroros a few days ago, and I can't tell where it's going, but it's coming here. I'm going to talk to it."

Although it was just a negotiation, if the negotiation failed, Tricia would definitely take action to subdue the dragon.

Although the opponent was a very powerful black dragon, Tricia was not afraid at all - she would not even dare to touch the dragon king, let alone an ordinary black dragon without the protection of the divine curtain.

What's more, Elsa is here now.

Elsa skillfully used magic to evaporate the water stains, put on a thin coat, and said to Charlie, "Our opponent is a dragon. Charlie, you stay here and wait for us to return. If danger comes here, prioritize your own safety before evacuating the residents. Tricia and I will keep an eye on the situation here."

"The crow will stay here. I'll let it watch over you."

Tricia also said.

Charlie pursed her lips, seemed to be about to say something, then nodded.

She actually wanted to help, but her opponent was a dragon, which was far beyond her current limit. Even if she caught up, she would only be a hindrance.

"You guys have to be careful..."

She said.

Aisha and Tricia leave.

……

If you stand on the wall of the barony and look towards the north, you can actually see a little shadow of the dragon with the help of farsighted magic, but under the cover of the flying snow, the gray outline is very small and unclear, so no one noticed that a black dragon was flying towards here at this moment.

This also provides convenience for Elsa and Tricia. At least they don't have to worry about exposing their identities - although this has become irrelevant in the current situation, it would naturally be better if they could take both into account.

As Elsa and Tricia rose from the air, they could already see the huge figure of the dragon on the other side of the sky - in fact, from the appearance, it didn't look much different from the dragon on Sky Island. Should we say that the dragon on Sky Island was made to be very realistic?

"Is this the dragon... Well, it does look like it's not easy to mess with."

Aisha said.

In her previous life, Elsa had seen all kinds of dragons in various film and television works. Modern computer technology can already render these fantasy creatures vividly, but the feeling of seeing them through the screen is completely different from seeing them with your own eyes. The wriggling of muscles and scales when the wings flap, and the heavy sense of oppression are not something that can be easily simulated by a computer.

Of course, it's nothing compared to when I first met the Undead Demon General Tobias.

"Is this the first time Elsa has seen a real dragon?"

Tricia asked and Aisha nodded.

"The Black Dragon is a very powerful dragon. Ordinary attacks are difficult to injure it. Its most powerful weapon is its strong, massive body. In terms of strength alone, it is even stronger than Tobias, so please be careful."

Tricia didn't think the black dragon could hurt Elsa, but it always helps to be cautious.

"Stronger than a demon general? Are all dragons this powerful?"
