On August 23rd, Demon City, which was located on the top of Transwania Mountain, welcomed its busiest day of the year. The majestic castle stood on the peak of the mountain and reached into the clouds. The upper half of the huge building was covered in clouds and mist. Under the sunlight, the mottled gray walls were wrapped in a yellow halo.
"Master." Dressed in a black robe, the Death God Alubis, who was wrapped tightly, carried his scythe and rushed toward the hall at the highest point of the castle.
The hall was very imposing. A huge red curtain hung from the ceiling to the ground, and a huge painting hung in the middle. The person in the painting is sitting on the throne at the moment
"Is everything done?" Count Dracula, who was tall and had a cold face, said calmly.
"Yes, Master, everything has been done according to your instructions. However, Father Sam of the Church has been sent elsewhere by the Church. The other Father Harvey is willing to replace him, so I took the initiative to invite him.”Alubis said respectfully.
"Whatever. It doesn't matter who it is. Take it to the small church below the city. Today, I will go to the city to rest. Don't let anyone disturb me. The earl's face showed his characteristic indifferent expression again.
Alubis replied respectfully,"Yes." Just as he turned around, a fat priest with white hair rushed in.
"What's wrong with you?" Alubis immediately swung his scythe to block the priest's path.
"Didn't Father Harvey ask you to wait outside the hall? "Who allowed you to come in?" Alubis said as he dragged the priest out. He didn't forget to turn around and apologize to his master."I'm sorry, Master. I didn't take good care of him. I'll take him to the chapel immediately.
"Wait a minute." The poor fat old man stumbled and said,""Esteemed Earl, please allow me to make a small request.”
What? Dracula frowned and waved his hand. Alubis immediately pushed the old man back.
"Your Highness, every year on this day, you will let the priest of our church come to your church to perform Mass for your deceased wife. It has been more than ten years, but you have never been there yourself.”The priest looked at the count sincerely.
"You want me to go to Mass, hahaha. Hahaha…This is ridiculous. You actually let a vampire go to Mass.。。。。。Do you still want me to confess to the Father? Hahaha, you're quite an interesting old man. Don't tell me that there's someone in Transwania who doesn't know that I'm a vampire.”Dracula said in a self-deprecating manner.
"Of course I know." The priest calmed himself down and said slowly," But before the Father, all living beings are equal. Anyone can be saved as long as they sincerely repent.”
"Anyone doesn't include me, right? I openly rebelled against him. Besides, I don't need anyone's salvation.”The conceited Dracula said disdainfully.
"What about your wife? She was a devout believer.。。。。。”
"Enough of your nonsense. I don't want to hear it. Alubis, take him away and do what he should do.”The earl's face was filled with anger.
"Yes." Alubis pulled the priest's robe and walked out. "You've been doing this for more than ten years, which shows that you still love your wife deeply. Don't you want your wife in Heaven to be comforted and rest assured?”The priest said loudly as he was pulled back.
"Wait, what do you mean?”Dracula was a little shaken. He waited for the priest's explanation.
The priest calmed himself down and said," Your deceased wife comes back every year to listen to the priest's prayers. Don't you want to see her?”
Hmph, nonsense. If she came back, why didn't she come to see me instead of listening to your stupid prayers?" Dracula was so angry that he flew down from his throne and grabbed the priest's neck.
The poor old man was almost out of breath. "I cough cough…I cough…I'm not lying to you. Cough... Your deceased wife is now a believer. Where else can her soul go in this demon city other than the church? Father Sam once told me that he would talk to your wife," Sonya ", every year on this day. She really hopes to meet her husband, the Earl. I also hope to fulfill her wish. If you really don't want to go, I won't force you.”
Dracula slowly lowered his hands from the priest's neck. After standing for a long time, he said expressionlessly,""I'll go with you, but if you lie to me, you better understand the consequences.”"Master, I'll go with you." Alubis hurriedly rushed forward.
"No need. Dean will be here tonight. You can go and do your work.”Dracula waved his hand and ordered him to retreat.
"Yes." Alubis slowly retreated.
"Let's go." Dracula grabbed the fat priest and flew across the hall like he was grabbing a kitten.
With a clang, the automatic staircase came to a stop on the ground floor of Demon City. With the clattering of chains, the iron door of the stairs slowly opened, and Dracula dragged the priest quickly toward the chapel.
The towering cedar trees outside the church and the stained glass of the church had blocked most of the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window. However, Dracula, a big vampire, could not stand it. He immediately waved his magic power and pulled down all the curtains of the church. This time, the already dark church became even more gloomy under the illumination of only a few candles.
"Where is Songya?" Under the brief sunlight, the earl's irritated face became even gloomier. Normally, this is the rest time for us, the Earl. Normally, ordinary people would be depressed if they couldn't sleep well, let alone us, the sleepyhead of vampires.
In fact, during the day, all the places in Demon City that could get sunlight were covered by Aleubis 'dark magic. The only thing that was left out was the church. Who would have thought that their vampire master would come here?
"Please calm down." The priest, who was being pulled back and forth, had yet to recover from his dizziness. He took a breath and continued,"Please take a seat in the chair in the confessional first. I'll invite Madam over after I light the soul-guiding candle.”
" Mm." Dracula sat on the chair with his legs crossed and his hands crossed in front of his chest. However, his rapid breathing revealed his anxiety. Father Harvey stood in front of the altar and looked at the statue of Jesus on the altar. He made a cross and lit a few large gray candles. As the flames swayed, a faint fragrance slowly drifted over.
"It's Madame's favorite scent of lilies. Sam added it to the wax.”The priest slowly did the work at hand.
"Cut the crap. Let's begin." the earl said impatiently.
" Yes." Father Harvey turned around and sat on a chair opposite the count. He then pulled the curtain of the confessional. He took out the Bible and slowly read,"Our Father in heaven, may you."。。。。。”
The priest's deep voice sounded like a lullaby to Dracula. He felt his eyelids grow heavy, his consciousness began to blur, and even his body seemed to be out of control of his brain. No, what's wrong with me? Even if it's daytime, I shouldn't be so sleepy. All the strength in his body had been sucked away. There was something wrong with this fragrance. At the thought of this, Dracula immediately stood up, but his heavy body seemed to be opposing him.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed behind the curtain on the other side of the table, and a cluster of weapons flew over quickly from the opposite side. Seeing the cold light, Dracula forced himself to focus and fell back with his heavy body. Then, he fell heavily to the ground with his chair.
" Humph!" He grunted, and a smear of red appeared on his shirt. It turned out that although Dracula had dodged the hidden weapon, he was still injured by a small part of the sharp weapon.
" Hahaha, I didn't expect that the Count, who is famous for his calmness and wit, would become stupid in the face of emotional problems. He was fooled by such a clumsy lie. How stupid.”The flickering candlelight made Harvey's face look even more sinister.
"Who sent you?" Dracula covered his wound with one hand and propped himself up with the other. He leaned against the wall behind him.
"Is it the Demon Hunters Association or the Vampire?" Even though he was severely injured, the earl's expression remained calm. He did not even frown.
"Don't associate me with low-level vampires. I'm a noble person, not as lowly as those beasts.”
Father Harvey's originally kind face turned ferocious and terrifying at this moment. "You vile vampires, how many civilians have the vampires killed? I won't let you live like this forever, I'll kill all of you.”
"Hmph!" Dracula sneered. You don't even know the difference between vampires and vampires, and you want to destroy us? That's ridiculous. He leaned against the wall and slowly stood up, his red eyes emitting a terrifying light.
"You, you... I smeared poison on my blade, enough to kill hundreds of vampires. How could you? How could you?。。。。。”Harvey shook his head as he retreated. What happened in front of him was unbelievable.
" I'll let you know the difference between a powerful Blood Breed who's a few hundred years old and a low-level Blood Succubus." As soon as he finished speaking, Dracula had already teleported in front of Harvey. Before he could react, four slender fingers had already pierced deep into his heart.
A stream of blood flowed down Harvey's fat chin. "My companions will avenge me.”Harvey panted.
"You can't see it." With that, Dracula pulled his finger out. Blood splattered and dripped from his fingers onto the ground. Dracula shook the blood off his hand in disgust.
Harvey fell to the ground, his heart stopped beating. "I told you that the consequences of lying to me are very serious.”After saying that, he kicked the corpse and turned to leave.
After leaving the church, Dracula immediately held onto the wall with his hand. He felt as if the world was spinning, and the poisonous gas that he had suppressed earlier quickly spread out. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of black blood. He took a deep breath and tried his best to stay awake. The servants of the Demon City did not dare to get close to this church. Now, he could not even find anyone to help him. He could only forcefully circulate his magic power to turn himself into a bat and fly towards the hanging building on the top of the city.
Aliubis finished giving his orders and was about to report to the church. Suddenly, he saw his master, who had turned into a bat, fly up the city wall, leaving a trail of blood on the ground. The bat fell to the ground, and Dracula fainted.
" Master!" Aliubis ran over and picked up Dracula, shouting," Someone, go and get the strange old man Sean from the library."”
The servants in the Count's bedroom were busy shuttling about. It was a mess of those who took medicine, those who carried water, those who bandaged, and those who joined in the fun. The originally spacious room became extremely crowded.
"Still not done? How is Master?" Alubis paced back and forth as he said helplessly.
"Get out of my way. If you continue to loiter here and obstruct me, I'll kick you out.”The strange old man, Sean, roared. The roar was really effective. He immediately stopped all his crazy actions and stood beside Sean respectfully.
"It's so noisy. Quiet." Dracula, who was lying in a huge coffin, woke up to find that his room was full of people and made a mess.
" Master, you're awake!" Alubis couldn't suppress his excitement and grabbed Dracula's hand, but he accidentally pulled on his wound. Dracula frowned.
"Bastard, do you want to hurt Master even more?”Sean shouted loudly and quickly waved his hand, aiming for the back of Alubis 'head.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Master. I was too happy that I lost my composure.”Alubis realized that he had lost his manners and immediately quieted down.
Alright, I got it." Dracula felt as if his head was about to explode, but these ignorant fellows were still making noise.
"Other than the old man, get out of here.”Everyone immediately fell silent out of fear and quickly fled the room.
" Master," Alubis wanted to say something but was interrupted by Dracula. Shut up and get out."
" Yes." He turned around and quickly walked out of the bedroom. The entire world finally fell silent.
"Master, how do you feel?" Sean asked anxiously.
"My head is about to explode, and my entire body is weak.”Dracula said weakly.
"That's because you were first drugged and then poisoned. You should know that just a drop of the poison can kill dozens of vampires. If you weren't a hundred-year-old demon with powerful spiritual power, you would have died long ago. As long as you listen to me and rest peacefully, you should be able to recover after a month.”Sean said gently as if he was instructing his own child.
Dracula replied with a grunt and continued,"Looks like I won't be able to go to Ni City today. I'll stay here. Dean should be arriving soon. He wondered if everyone had retreated to Defy City after the chaos. You know Dean's hot temper. If they run into him, those guys will be in trouble. Old man, go out and watch them. Tell them to speed up their retreat. Leave a few puppets in the main city. After that, go back to the library and don't come out.”
"Yes, Master." Sean stepped back out of the room and returned to his secret chamber.
