C43 Identity Confirmation (1/2)
Prince Beta was a genius of the Blood Clan, it only took him less than three thousand years to break through to the prince level. This was extremely rare for the Blood Clan, because they did not have any cultivation methods, and could only rely on absorbing the energy from the moon bit by bit to increase their power. However, every month required to raise their power was extremely huge, which made it extremely difficult for the Blood Clan to raise their power. Someone like the Prince Beta, who was able to use three thousand years to break through to the prince level, was already considered a genius amongst geniuses!
No matter how hard he tried, there was no use in it. His powers had always been stuck at the prince level, which made the Prince Beta feel a little desperate. Under these circumstances, the Prince Beta decided to keep his bloodline at the same level.
This caused Prince Beta to be extremely fond of Carl. On the other hand, Carl seemed to be even more talented than the Prince Beta, yet in just a thousand years, he had already reached the level of a Marquis, which was five hundred years earlier than the time he had reached this level. This caused Prince Beta to love Carl even more, and everything Carl did was completely indulged him.
But what Prince Beta did not expect was that Carl was actually the same as him. After reaching the level of Marquis, he did not advance even a single bit, and was still a Marquis up till now! There was nothing they could do about it. They didn't want to waste any more time on this. They just let nature take its course and put more effort into dealing with their old enemy, the Church of Holy Light.
The Strigoi and the Church seemed to be born enemies, and as long as they met, they would fight to the death. The most famous fight was the French Revolution. In fact, at that time King Louis XVI of France was a little viscount of the Strigoi, and most of the royal family members were Strigoi. The Revolutionary Army, supported by the Holy See, finally sent King Louis XVI to the guillotine, and the struggle ended in the failure of the Strigoi.
After that battle, the forces of the Strigoi turned to the underground and started to fight against the Holy See in secret. After a long period of development, they finally took control of most of the underground world in Europe and took control of most of the economic lifeline in Europe. Even the heads of some governments were under the control of the Strigoi, and there were still some countries that retained their monarchs.
The power of the Holy See was also extremely great. First of all, there were extremely large number of believers, and all over the world, there were believers of the Church. Such strength made the Strigoi appear to be at a disadvantage in multiple confrontations, but there was nothing they could do about it.
The Holy See controlled a portion of the economic lifeline in Europe, but it was the United States that had the most economic power in the world. Just this point was enough for the Church to contend with the Strigoi in terms of economic strength.
This was the most elite and most powerful force of the Church. Every time the Blood Tribe suffered a loss, they would suffer at the hands of the Knights of Holy Light because the holy light cultivated by these Knights of Holy Light had a natural restraining effect on the Blood Tribe, causing them to suffer a great loss in every battle, and the losses they suffered each time were great.
In order to deal with the Holy Knights of the Church of Light, the Blood Tribe had formed the Black Ice Mercenaries. The Black Ice Mercenaries recruited humans, and after arduous training, they would be able to deal with the Church.
However, as the believers of the Church were extremely huge, they were spread all over the world to publicize the various crimes committed by the Strigoi, which made life difficult for the Strigoi in the recent years.
As the leader of the Blood Family, Prince Beta had spent a lot of effort to deal with the Church. However, in the end, he was still unable to achieve the desired result. Just like how the hypocrites of the Holy See had said that their Holy Son was Jesus, and Jesus led the Holy See into glory, the Holy Son of the Blood Clan would bring the Blood Clan to unprecedented heights of glory, so from then on, the Prince Beta had been working hard to find the Blood Clan's Holy Son. This search lasted for close to a thousand years, until today, Yang Feng appeared!
”What?!” The Prince Beta roared and asked Carl in a loud voice. The loud sound wave made Carl have no choice but to cover his ears.
”Oh, damn it, can't you maintain a bit of the manners of a Strigoi? You will frighten our great Son! ” Carl mocked his father Prince Beta in a very dissatisfied manner!
After Prince Beta heard Carl's words, he took a deep breath to calm himself down. A smile appeared on his face once again, and after showing a noble demeanor, he said to Carl, ”Oh, dear son, can you tell me where the Holy Son is?! It can't be that little fellow who is standing behind you, right?! ”
