385 Vampire High Council (1/2)
The dazzling stars were like shining pure diamonds on the black velvet.
The astonishing scenery of the dream-like night sky above the highland was eternal.
In the darkness slightly lit by the starlight, Lucien left the projection of the Castle of Observer.
In the shadow of the trees, he put on the transformation mask. He grew taller, his skin became finer and pale, the color of his eyes turned into that of the silver moon, and his hair also became silver.
Within a few seconds, Lucien had turned himself into Rhine, wearing his typical red shirt and black suit.
Adjusting his bow a bit, Lucien headed for another vampire castle in the distance with an elegant pace.
In that castle lived Marquis Lasare, a five-thousand-year-old powerful vampire, who was responsible for safeguarding the space joint connecting Night Highland to the desert in the south part of Gusta.
When Lucien was in the treasury room, he finally picked the sword named Pale Justice, not because it was immune to all the negative effects, but because it was a rank-one legendary magic item when facing evil creatures!
Right now Lucien needed to deal with these powerful vampires, thus he needed to pick the weapon that was the most useful for him right now.
As for the limit that only a level six radiant knight could use the sword, Lucien had his own way to deal with it. With Ogre Glove, Lucien could have the power of a level five grand knight, and plus a few middle or low rank spells for strengthening power, for example, the fourth-circle spell, Brute Force, and the second circle spell, Ox Force, Lucien could meet the minimum requirement for picking up the sword.
Although this could only last for a few minutes, that was enough for Lucien! After all, during a few minutes, the sword would always hit its target.
And even among the sixth-circle spells that Lucien had not learned, there was a magic spell called Baler's Transformation that could enable sorcerers to turn themselves into knights of the corresponding levels.
In fact, there was more planning in Lucien's mind: this powerful knight sword could be a gift.
From time to time, Lucien would still long for the beautiful future.
...
To the left of the strange-shaped castle, there was a grand palace with thick stone pillars and smooth floor.
In Lucien's eyes, it resembled the temples of ancient Greece on the Earth.
The crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor came from a distance, and a tall and strong vampire stopped in front of Lucien.
”Why are you here?” asked the vampire in an arrogant manner.
Lucien, who was now Rhine, smiled, ”I'm here to use the space joint circle.”
”Did Sir Marquis agree?” the vampire asked.
Lucien pretended to be calm, ”According to the Vampire High Council, we all can use most of the space joints on Night Highland. Is this one an exception?”
He did not want to stay here for too long, as Lucien knew that Rhine was a member of the High Council, and once other vampire princes came, it would be very risky for him.
The vampire knew that was true, but he still answered coldly, ”We have identified some traitors, and maybe you are one as well. Without the permission of Sir Marquis, I have to check carefully.”
When the vampire was saying, his right hand slightly moved to make a sign, as if he was asking for something.
Lucien knew what the vampire was trying to do, but the role he was playing now was an elegant and proud vampire, thus there was no way that Lucien would bribe him.
Once Marquis Lasare got to know this, Lasare would be able to tell immediately that he was not the real vampire prince, Rhine.
Lucien's silver eyes slightly squinted, and when he was about to tell the vampire to leave him alone, he heard an old voice, ”It's been a while since we saw each other last time, Sir Observer.”
He should be Marquis Lasare! Lucien tried his best to prevent his heart from beating too fast. Right now he only wished that Lasare did not know Rhine well, or Lasare would probably tell that he was a fake one!
”Sir… Observer?” The vampire who was trying to extort money was shocked, and his body trembled. He did not know that the vampire in front of him was, in fact, a vampire prince. When the legendary-level vampire squinted, that was almost the end of him!
