Chapter 249 - Vampire City (1/2)

Not long after the vampires and Evan escaped from the mines, they reached a tunnel deep underground. It was then that Evan stopped feeling the pressure that alarmed him.

<What happened down there?> Evan thought, following Virion and Nessa.

”You will come with us, at our base, I will give you as many spells as you want. After that, our paths will part.” Virion said coldly as he looked at Evan.

He didn't want to help Evan, but he had no other option. Moreover, to ensure that the scarlet thread would disappear from his sister's heart, he had to act like a friend to Evan. For the same reason, he decided to take Evan back to the base rather than hand over some spellbooks right now. Virion wanted to make sure that the agreement his sister had made would be honored.

He wasn't happy with Nessa's decision, but Virion understood that most of the vampires would have been killed if it wasn't for Evan's power.. Virion would not have been able to join this battle in time.

Evan didn't answer anything, he just nodded. He wanted to know one thing that interested him.

”Why do you want this girl?” Evan asked calmly.

Virion frowned but decided to answer, ”From the outside, it looks like Viscount Pol's daughter is the most ordinary mage. She is no different from anyone else except that she is more talented than most. However, she is extremely valuable to vampires, and more specifically her blood.”

”Blood?”

”Laila has a special body constitution. The stronger a person is, the stronger their blood is, which means a vampire who drinks it gets more power. But, a temporary increase in strength is not the same as healing. My father, a vampire nobleman with the title Viscount, is sick. Only special blood, crystal clear, without any impurities, can improve his condition. There are very few people with such blood purity, but we are fortunate that this girl has that type of blood.” Said Virion.

”I see, what will you do with her?” Asked Evan.

”We'll put her in a cage and use her as a living blood vessel, it's too unprofitable to kill her.”

Evan didn't answer anything and just shrugged his shoulders. It was none of his business.

...

A few hours later, Evan and the vampires reached the underground city. One of the vampire bases consisted of several small cities, each with many structures resembling castles and fortresses.

Vampire nobles inhabited these places. They ruled this city called - Darkfil.

Virion gave instructions to the rest of the vampires and went with his sister to one mansion. Evan followed them.

It was very dark in Darkfil. The vampires saw perfectly well in the dark and could not tolerate light. There were only a few faint lanterns burning in the streets, but not yellow, but green or blue. To human perception, the atmosphere here was extremely eerie.

Some of the vampires were surprised to see Evan in town, but they didn't say anything. If Virion decided it was okay for Evan to be here, then that was what was needed.

Vampires had a strict hierarchy based on their title and power. What's more, an evolved vampire could hand out orders to other vampire nobles.

No one was against this system because, unlike humans, vampires greatly valued their bonds. They often had conflicts, but they were all quickly resolved. Regardless of their status, vampires treated each other with respect, not forgetting, of course, the chain of command.

Virion and Nessa went inside and headed for their father's chambers.

”Wait for us in the living room.” Said Virion turning to Evan.

However, Evan wasn't going to stay in this place alone, he wanted to know Virion and Nessa's every move. At this point, he was making the rules, he had to use the power of the agreement to the fullest.

”No, I'll go with you,” Evan said coldly.

Virion frowned but didn't stop Evan, he had no other option. At the moment, his sister was in captivity.

A few minutes later, they found themselves in the chambers of Virion and Nessa's father, Zate Emerton.

He was a middle-aged man with long black hair and pale, wrinkled skin. Though vampires were known for their beauty and smooth skin, Zate looked like a plain old human.
