"Queen, everyone who may have rejuvenated is here."
The border town was suddenly placed under military control, and no one was allowed to leave. After a round of "investigation," the list of rejuvenated people was confird, and they were all arrested.
The people in a small town were too easy to interrogate. Even if so people wanted to hide the truth, there was no collective organization, no sufficient cleverness, and the truth was easily pieced together.
A woman was escorted to face Lisidorwei: "Are you the owner of the tavern?"
The woman was trembling all over; she knelt on the ground: "Yes, Your Majesty! I am the tavern owner."
"The guests in your tavern only rejuvenated after drinking your wine. Don’t you intend to give an explanation?"
"Your Majesty! I know nothing! I wasn’t in the tavern that day at all! I was out purchasing goods! Only Mohe was working in the tavern! I know nothing!"
Mohe?
Lisidorwei furrowed her brow and imdiately sent soone to investigate the information of the girl nad Mohe. However...
"Already gone? They left with things as early as yesterday?"
It was a trap.
This was Lisidorwei’s first reaction. She already felt that pure aura from these mortals, that belonged to the blood of the Demon King, and the girl nad Mohe might just be the reincarnation of the Demon King...
She did it deliberately,
What is her goal? The left hand?
Should I rush back imdiately?
For a mont, Lisidorwei was very anxious, but she forced herself to calm down. She was sure this was sothing that couldn’t be done. If the girl nad Mohe was indeed the Demon King... this matter must not be rushed. If she didn’t go back, the left hand might not be taken, after all, that left hand still had the all-important seals of the church and the Wise Person. But if she went back...
She might fall into the Demon King’s trap.
That Demon King had always been like this.
This was an overt plot.
She was questioning herself, if she had the courage to go back to find her, if she had the courage to face her—when Lisidorwei’s greed surged from within, fear also surged from within. She vividly rembered how the previous vampires before her were killed by the Demon King.
Taking a deep breath, her gaze shifted to these rejuvenated people: "Do you want eternal life?"
According to the character of Vampire Queen Lisidorwei, she should directly kill these people, extract their blood, and ultimately obtain the near-eternal blood of the Demon King.
But she couldn’t do that.
Now, nominally, she was one of the humans. Killing these people for a drop of blood... Although these people were not important, although they were not considered humans at all by the nobles, this would beco her handle; those nobles would use the banner of "No citizen should be killed" to target her.
By then, her position in the human camp would beco dangerous, she couldn’t do it.
So, she could only make a "deal."
However, staying with these people was also a good thing.
After all...
The blood enveloped this group of people, and Lisidorwei directly exchanged blood with these people. From this perspective, these people at this mont all beca the progeny of Vampire Lisidorwei, obtaining a false eternal life—they didn’t know they were close to possessing true eternity.
There was no need to hesitate; at this mont, it was ti for her eternal pursuit!
Choice.
The life of Vampire Queen Lisidorwei was about constantly making choices, from initially kneeling before the Demon King, witnessing the deaths of the previous two generations of vampire queens, swearing allegiance to the Demon King, to that year, the birth of A·Gedora, showing the world the possibility of the Demon King’s death, she chose to stand beside the Hero, so now, dealing with humans to maintain her status, plotting for the Demon King’s eternity.
She always made the right choices.
So this ti will be no exception, the Demon King set a trap for her. Since the other party could condense such a drop of blood, they couldn’t ignore the possibility of the other party condensing a "curse." If she went back now, she might be entangled with the Demon King’s curse, perhaps in her ho, maybe in Butuo City.
Greed would cause one to lose reason, perhaps the Demon King thought that after she deduced the information, she wouldn’t be able to restrain herself from instinctively seeking her, this drop of blood was her bait, and once she was controlled by greed, she would lose everything—yet she was always so arrogant.
She always thought she could calculate everything.
Lisidorwei didn’t wish for much, she just wanted to ingest this drop of blood, she only wished to digest this blood, to have a longer life and ti, and then use this drop of blood to counter the left hand that erged in that volcano.
That was already enough.
The Demon King wanted to use this drop of blood to disturb her mind... She had been standing in the highest position for too long, overly neglecting the caution of a life like hers, she wouldn’t take risky actions...
Her face seed sowhat uncomfortable; she instinctively touched her face.
Why does it feel a bit sticky?
Lisidorwei instinctively looked at her hand, and on her hand, she saw... black blood.
"Eh?"
By the ti she realized it, the disintegration had already begun.
Lisidorwei thought that as long as she just swallowed the bait without getting hooked, there would be no problem, however — the bait was the hook.
Black blood poured profusely from Lisidorwei’s body, she frantically mobilized her power trying to expel that drop of golden blood from her body, yet it was aningless, when this drop of blood entered her body, all impurity had to be destroyed, rooted from essence already...
She would die here!
At that mont, in her palm, the blood ford a magic array: "My minions... by the na of the Vampire Queen, I command you to co to and die for !"
Those who had just been transford into minions by her at this mont walked to her front automatically, they slit their own arteries, blood spraying onto Lisidorwei’s body, starting to compensate for Lisidorwei’s collapse. But it was still not enough...
Countless people from Butuo City uncontrollably began to head towards this small town.
Lisidorwei knew she had lost, thoroughly calculated by the Demon King — no, she should have realized this from the start, she just didn’t want to admit, didn’t want to admit that she was going against true eternity — the Demon King just knew she would swallow this drop of blood, nothing more.
What a way...befitting her character, the royal way.
I would definitely mobilize the minions from Butuo City, and then she could easily take Butuo City’s left hand, what a simple sche?
However, this was exactly the temptation that the Vampire Queen Lisidorwei could not resist, from the mont Mohe made a move, the outco was already sealed.
...
Mohe calmly walked through a narrow, little-known passage to the depths of the volcano, she naturally knew of such a road, after all, this volcano was once the Demon King’s domain. She had visited this volcano’s scenery before, at that ti her will surveyed the entire volcano, thoroughly familiar with the volcano’s situation.
It was just retrieving the volcano’s situation from mory and finding the path. Not a difficult thing to do.
Naturally, there were no guards here, after all — they all hurried to that small town to save people.
Then what about those guards who were not minions?
The answer is —
The Hero A·Gedora’s present existence.
After knowing Mohe’s plan, that hero who had beco a dispirited uncle finally released that mighty aura, instantly drawing all security forces of the city’s attention, but the Hero paid no attention because he was not Lisidorwei’s minion, he could not use the transporter that only minions could pass through by consuming Lisidorwei’s power, he could only run back.
Just as Mohe initially said, this hero, A·Gedora, is soone who will definitely return a favor once you give him benefits.
In the past, Lisidorwei betrayed herself, blocked a blade for the Hero, although from Mohe’s perspective, that was an act full of calculations, perhaps even Doro himself was also very aware of this, but he would not ignore it, he would not ignore Lisidorwei’s death. He had to rush back to save Lisidorwei.
Moreover, originally this left hand had many defensive forces, including various magic arrays, church’s seals, the Wise Person’s seals, even if there’s no one guarding, the possibility of losing is basically non-existent.
What is that Hero thinking now? Am I ultimately just being used?
When Mohe noticed A·Gedora appear in the town where she was, the plan she had intended to execute two years later was already decided to be moved forward. In fact, she had already calculated this on him — but, since she had invited him for als, taking care of him for so ti, it should count as being worthy of him, right?
Besides, is this really calculation?
This is clearly a choice he made on his own.
He originally didn’t need to care about Lisidorwei.
While thinking about these things, Mohe took a bottle of potion from her bag, dropping it on her left eye.
Blood flowed from her left eye, and then, a magic array revolved within her pupils: "Eyes of Truth and Illusion... still need this thod to activate, what a bother, limited ti..."
She took different potions from the bag, slowly advancing toward the center.
"Turns out, after I died, these magic and sealing skills haven’t improved in any way? Still the sa old stuff? I’m opening my eye for a broke deal!" Mohe sighed, pouring potion continuously on key sites of the seal, corroding those things as she constantly approached her left hand.
"The Demon King is about to return~"
