chapter 43
I see your code (43)
“Are you really sick?”
“… … .”
Cartwal bowed his head with a pathetic expression. But Cassia, the red-haired woman standing in front of him, didn’t even blink.
“It’s ridiculous to be kidnapped in this state of affairs, but what? Did you say you passed the blood stone?”
“No, I didn’t mean to pass it on, the prophecy… … .”
“The prophecy freezes to death. How long will you follow the advice of the old people who lived in closets? If the book says to die, will you die?”
Cartbal, who had been bowing his head at those words, stood proudly. determined expression. He was ready to lay down his life for the safety of the race.
“Of course. If that’s how our clan can revive again… … .”
“Then just die now. If you become king, our clan will only be destroyed.”
“… … .”
It’s rougher today. No, I think it was originally like that. Last time we met… … Was it 20 years ago? It was old.
Cartbal recalled old memories. There was a way to relieve the mood at that time, what was it?
“sister… … . sorry.”
“I’ve eaten over 50 of these and only call them when I need them.”
He replies bluntly, but his face is loose. this is it Cartval smiled inwardly, as Cassia sighed.
“So, where is your master?”
“I’m in Layton. Did you bring bloodstone? If I go back from now, within the promised ten days… … .”
“I didn’t bring it.”
“… … uh?”
“Bloodstone. I didn’t bring it.”
“… … .”
I didn’t expect this. It took 5 days just to get to the midpoint. Even if I go back and collect the blood stone, it is impossible to meet the promised period.
A tombstone flickered in front of Katbal’s eyes. Cartval, at the age of 50, fails to bloom and wither.
“I told you to bring it!”
“Why are you screaming at this? What kind of bloodstone is your personal item?”
“I am a prince!”
“Then I am a princess. … … Ah, Mr. It’s strange to say it.”
Cassia scratched the back of her head with a humble expression.
It was rare, but Cartwal didn’t even pay attention to it. It’s a moment of whether or not your life will fly away, how could such a trivial thing catch your eye?
“He said he was not interested in the throne. Have you changed your mind now?”
“What else do you mean?”
“You intend to kill me and become the king. traitor! Anyway, the bloodline… … .”
“There has been a lot of improvement over the past few decades. right. But it looks like I don’t even need to touch it. i’ll go see live well.”
Cassia began to seep into the shadows. Cartbal’s voice became urgent.
“sorry! Sorry! It was a joke! Please save me, sister!”
“… … ha.”
The body, which had been half submerged in the shadows, rises again. I can’t pretend I don’t know that it’s my brother.
Cassia opened her mouth, leaning her completely out body against the tree.
“I tried to get it, but there was no way. The old people were very angry.”
“The elders? why?”
Cassia looked at Cartval with pitiful eyes.
“For some reason, it’s because of you. It is said that it is the first time in the history of the clan that a royal family has been kidnapped by a human, and there is even talk of disqualification?”
disqualification. A kind of last resort, suggested when the successor feels really unanswered.
He doesn’t really have the power to take him out of the royal family. Because the bloodline of the vampire clan is absolute.
But since I can’t recognize that guy as a king, it’s just a warning that I’m a double. A disgraceful title that no one has ever received in the history of the royal family. Cartbal’s complexion turned white.
“What were you doing? It should have been dry!”
“I was the first to agree. To be honest, even if you think about it, it’s a shame.”
“sister!”
“Stop screaming, really. Now that I’m older, my whole body aches.”
Then Cassia began to tap her on the back. The look of an old man with no end. Cartval looked at him with a puzzled look.
“If you’re not even 100 years old yet, why are you so strict?”
“That’s how hard it was. Do you know how much I struggled while you were playing outside?”
“What is suffering? It’s all just to kill time in the sanctuary.”
“This is real. Am I just going?”
“sister.”
Cassia sighed.
I thought it would be a little more serious since it was the first time in decades, but it’s the exact opposite. It seems to have become more childish.
Now that people over 50 are doing this, I’m really worried. Can I entrust the future of my clan to him?
‘Am I going to do it?’
The vampire king. I wasn’t interested in the place. A place that was abandoned long ago. There are a lot of annoying things, and there is little to enjoy.
But considering the safety of the clan, wouldn’t I be better than him?
“What are you thinking about?”
“Worrying about the future of the clan.”
Cartval looked at Cassia with moved eyes.
“Still, my sister is my sister.”
“What?”
“It means you cared about me.”
“… … How does that happen?”
“I am the future of the clan. no?”
“… … Let’s not talk.”
I’ll have to give it some serious thought when I get back. Whether or not he will be a real king. The elders will welcome you with open hands, so if you put your mind to it, you can do it right away.
Cassia sighed and continued.
“Guide me to the place where the human being is the owner.”
“Are you going to apologize?”
“Stop being funny. You don’t have to kill me.”
“… … uh?”
Cartwal opened his mouth with a bewildered expression.
“What are you talking about? You are the one who saved me!”
“To make you a slave. In the first place, that stigma will not disappear as long as the owner is alive. The prince of the clan is a slave. Do you think it makes sense?”
“that… … It doesn’t make sense, but… … .”
Cartval, who had been half-persuaded, came to his senses.
“Anyway, no. Aside from saving you, it smells!”
“If you’re going to talk about that prophecy or fate again, then stop. Because I never believed in it.”
“sister!”
“It can’t be done. Do you know what I am doing because I want to do this? It’s all your fault.”
Cassia’s eyes gleamed coldly.
“don’t worry. At least I’ll let you go without pain.”

I sat down and drank the liquid from the water bottle. An aphrodisiac made by grinding young vinegar. When absorbed into the body, it is converted into psychic power and accumulated.
Contemplating the inside of the body, I found that my psychic power, which had only been like a rat’s tail, had increased to the size of a human finger.
great speed.
No matter how much help from the elixir, it has grown to a level that ordinary people can’t even dream of. Even if you are engrossed in the bonus stat magic, this will not be in order.
All thanks to the newly learned Honwongong. If I had made a skill like this when I was a developer, I would have gotten a lot of emails complaining about fixing bugs.
Faster than the lion’s heart, and stronger than the heavenly demon god. Is it like a strong and long-lasting battery?
“It’s a lot quieter than that… … .”
Two weeks have passed since I met Byron. I thought retaliation would come right away, but there was no response. This makes me even more anxious. It’s like the calm before the storm.
“after… … .”
I don’t know what you’re thinking, but what I’m going to do is set. To build up some more magical power.
The moment you want to practice while sitting. I could see the familiar code and the unfamiliar code walking side by side.
[NPC-1-34-2]
[NPC-2-64-3]
Cartbal, who left for blood stone, and his sister Cassia.
I was worried because he didn’t come after the promised period, was it because we were coming back together?
I thought that my sister would deliver the blood stone and go back right away. The sanctuary guardian position is not a role that can be left vacant for very long.
Well, I’ll explain it to you if you come without having to roll your head in a headache.
The moment when the code is somewhat close. A voice was heard.
“Run away!”
Needless to say, as soon as I saw the attack code, I ran away.
Push Shun.
There was a lot of blood in the place where I had just stood. bright red flower shape. like a rose It’s different in that you die the moment you touch it.
I opened my mouth looking at the unfamiliar code.
“A vampire-style self-introduction?”
“no way. If we greeted each other like this, our clan would have gone extinct sooner?”
In the darkness, a female form appeared.
Red hair and red eyes. Needless to say, it looks like a vampire. A face you can recognize at a glance without a code. Cassia sighed.
“He really doesn’t help. It was my last chance to let you go pain-free.”
I want to breathe Why are there so many people trying to kill me these days?
When I looked at the cart feet, I was restless. not betrayal.
He kept his tension and looked at his opponent.
“I didn’t know that reaching out my hand would turn into a sword.”
“I don’t say that I reached out for a high-priced purchase. Is it because of the blood stone? my brother bought I was ignoring it until I heard about it.”
Mouth bastard. How far have you been talking?
He stared at the cart once and continued.
“If it’s a high-cost transaction, goods come and go, not knives. Give me a blood stone and I’ll take you. Because I don’t need it either.”
Even if it looks sloppy, it can’t be helped. Because he wasn’t the kind of person I could deal with right now.
Guardian of the sanctuary. Among the clan, only those who are certified in lineage and ability can enter.
A strong man who can’t even compare to a cartbal who was kidnapped because he hated sunlight.
He’s a character that only appears in the middle of the game, but if you haven’t even entered the early part… … It would be possible to destroy Layton alone.
Dodging the attack earlier was close to luck. I don’t know if he really meant to let him go without pain, but he used a fairly calm technique.
If I was really going to kill you, I wouldn’t even be standing right now.
Cassia looked at my face and opened her mouth.
“I didn’t bring bloodstone. You won’t regret it though. In the next world, things like that wouldn’t help. I’ve never been there either.”
Damn, I feel like I’m going to lose the slave I bought with my money, but no bloodstream?
Who do you see as a giving tree?
“Then just take me.”
You must live for once. I didn’t want to die in vain in a place like this.
“I feel like a chimney to just go back, but look at his stigma. Old people run around just because they’ve been kidnapped, but if they come back as slaves, will they really start a rebellion?”
Cassia scratched the back of her head.
“So, please understand. In the first place, slavery of different races was banned by the Continental Law. It’s illegal.”
“This is extraterritorial jurisdiction.”
It is true that there is no human being to enforce the law. Cassia smiled with a puzzled face.
“You know it’s nonsense, right? let’s go easy If you stay calm, I will finish it in no time.”
“You know it’s nonsense, right? Where is the human who has his neck removed because he has a different neck?”
“It’s not like that either.”
Cassia stretched out her hand in the air. The numbers gather at the tip of your finger. Vampire-only attack magic blood bullets.
“Because I had no intention of getting permission and attacking anyway.”
bang!
Blood rushes in with a gun-like sound. The speed will be the same. setting is so.
The magical power contained within is beyond my current ability to comprehend, and I can’t even see how it moves.
Besides, the characteristics of blood bullets. It is a straight line, but it can change direction. Even if you look at the code and move, it is impossible to avoid it.
“… … What?”
If so, pierce He gave strength to his legs and, rather, rushed forward. Cassia made a bewildered voice as she could not have imagined this would happen.
The moment when blood bullets collide with me.
beep.
A white curtain unfolded from the pocket with a strange noise.
thud!
The membrane and blood bullets collided and canceled each other.
Without slowing down, he approached Cassia and put the sword to his neck. Along with Cassia’s bewildered expression, blood trickled down the nape of her neck.
I looked at it and opened my mouth.
“I’ll treat you to the guests, so I’ll stop here.”
