Vampires. As their na suggests, they were a race that fed on human blood.
Although their numbers were few and they struggled to act under the sun, the empires leadership still considered vampires a threat greater than even the Demon King or the Corpse Lord.
They, known as the nobles of the night, excelled at hiding in the darkness and had a great ability to infiltrate society using their power to beguile people.
If these few infiltrated human society to assassinate authority figures or beguile them into becoming puppets for their ambitions, the impact would be incomparable to any conflict caused by brute force.
Haha, sorry for the dust. I havent used this hideout in a while.
Indeed, the vampire who had brought to this abandoned mansion was one of the most infamous fugitives of the empire among his kind.
Virgil Huntress. Commonly known as the Virgin Slayer.
Nad for physically tearing apart virgins, he targeted even nobles and royals, making him a target the empire desperately wanted to deal with.
Find yourself a comfortable spot. Ill bring so drinks.
But what could it be?
Why was this heinous criminal showing such kindness?
Ill brew so black tea from the dried leaves I have here Ah, theres a dessert I bought as a snack. Its a bit old-fashioned, but is that alright?
No, its fine. As a novice adventurer, Im in a position to be grateful for anything.
Haha, youre a diligent and admirable young man.
Not just being considerate but even offering complints.
Was this part of a vampires beguiling techniques? Using rhetoric to worm into soones heart
No, after witnessing him slaughter a fem hero, it was hard to think he had ulterior motives with such a complete change in deanor.
Aside from what he despises, he generally shows a generous attitude. At least, that was my impression of him.
Ah, now that I think about it, I didnt properly introduce myself when we t last ti.
As if to confirm my speculation, he soon placed his hand on his chest and spoke.
My na is Virgil Huntress. A noble of the night, and I dabble in the business of darkness as both a hobby and a profession.
Business of darkness?
Haha, are you interested?
Slither.
Virgil, having removed his cloak, placed a piece of paper that ca out of it on the table.
Inside, there were portraits of won, along with information about them.
What is this? A collection of morial photos of a serial killers victims?
If you have a preference, I can introduce you to a suitable woman from these. As a matchmaker of darkness, Ill find soone who suits your tastes.
Uh matchmaking?
Yes, I generally introduce widows to new companions. In such a chaotic world, many lose their husbands, but isnt it too cruel to tell them to spend their lives in sorrow?
The vampire, smiling slyly, fiddled with his hands.
The contented smile on his face showed he truly found his work rewarding.
Of course, I cant introduce won who are already taken. A mans love should stem from conquest and inclusion, not from forceful possession.
You have a firm philosophy.
As a noble, one must stick to their convictions. Haha.
Ah, yes. With such conviction, he tore apart maidens.
I wanted to object in many ways, but I decided to keep quiet because I valued my life.
Well, thats why I, a noble, cant leave those in trouble alone. Enough chit-chat. Ill get straight to the point and ask
