Chapter 330 - Army of Locusts (1/2)

Chapter 330 Army of Locusts

There was a dungeon for vampires deep inside the cavern.

At first, the prisoners would be suppressed by special enchanted equipment, before they were put in special iron cages.

Those cages were very tight, with holes only the size of a finger. The prisoners couldn’t escape in bat form.

As for Atomization… Since the cages were meant for vampires, that problem had been taken into consideration too.

Those cages were partly made of gold, an inert metal that wouldn’t react with magic power and could block Atomization.

After Wenger was imprisoned, Christina did not leave but simply stood nearby. She asked after a brief silence, “Do the Golden Sons have special ways to communicate?”

“Yes, we do.”

Having lived for some time in the Bruce family, Wenger had met a lot of people. He wasn’t very familiar with Christina yet, but they greeted each other every time they met.

He had been quite fond of this girl, who was both pretty and had principles.

“Why did you change from a Golden Son to a vampire?”

“Actually, I’m still a Golden So,.” Wenger said with a smile. “I can still resurrect, and I can use all the functions of the system. The abilities of vampires are just added onto my previous ident.i.ty.”

Christina snorted and said, “Is that why you can resist Lord Bruce’s order?”

“That’s part of the reason.”

n.o.body else was in the dungeon, and it was deep and quiet underground. So, they sounded quite loud even though they kept their voices low.

Christina rubbed her eyes and asked again, “What kind of person is Roland among your people?”

“I have no personal contact with him. I’ve only learned of him through special channels.”

Christina furrowed her brow and said, “Why don’t you tell me about it?”

“He’s the strongest Mage. He has powerful friends. He’s generous and amiable too.” Wenger said with a smile, “If I have to comment on him, he’s like one of the Mage protagonists in the knight novels.”

“He’s so good?”

“You’ve already met him. Do you think he’s good?”

Remembering the fireball that exploded like a sun, Christina’s heart was still shaking even now. She was rendered speechless.

“Christina, a word of advice: you will only be killed if you stay here,” Wenger said solemnly. “My people will arrive in five hours at best, and more will come later. By then, there will be no time for you to escape.”

“Seriously?” Christina was still unconvinced. “Thousands of professionals are coming here? Are they all crazy?”

“They’re here for money.”

“The vampires don’t have much money.”

“Bone powder.” Staring at Christina, Wenger said, “Roland stated that the bone powder of vampires is valuable on our communication channel.”

After a brief shock, Christina had gooseb.u.mps all over her body.

“Your people… are killing us for money?”

“That’s right.” Wenger’s gaze became queer.

“How could you…”

“Why couldn’t we?” Wenger said matter-of-factly. “If you regard human beings as prey, isn’t it fair that the Golden Sons regard you as prey?”

“But we’re vampires…” Christina murmured.

“And we’re the Golden Sons.” There was pity in Wenger’s smile. “Why can’t the vampires be prey?”

Christina was horrified by Wenger’s smile.

She subconsciously stepped back and staggered out of the cavern.

Prey!

We’re prey!

The thought rang in Christina’s head.

By the time she woke up, she found that she had flown away from the Bruce family’s base.

What am I doing?
