Kay Bradford's life is a bit like an upgraded novel in Dian Niang. ¡ñ¡Ð, To be fair, he is very talented. He relied on his knowledge of alchemy and his keen sense of politics to climb to his current position step by step.
However, when he stood at the top of the mountain in the aristocratic circle of the Principality of Federo, everything changed. What he saw was not the endless horizon in the distance, nor the scorching sun at sunrise, but another mountain, a mountain belonging to a vampire.
Just like Long Aotian, when he worked hard to upgrade from a small shrimp to the so-called "sacred domain" boss, he came to a new map with as many sacred domains as dogs.
Yes, Kay Bradford tragically discovered that the position of marquess for which he had been striving for most of his life was nothing more than a feeder for vampires.
He has always felt strange that the power circle in the Principality of Federo is very abnormal. In addition to the necessary means of managing power and currying favor with the powerful, nobles with excellent gladiator teams can also rise all the way up. Until one day, he learned about the existence of vampires.
So he understood the real power behind this country and why the gladiators were so valuable.
Is Kay Bradford frustrated by this? The career that I have worked hard for for most of my life is nothing more than a vampire's "cook".
The answer was no, but he felt very excited because of it. Because he found something more attractive than power and money, immortality. Compared with the endless lifespan, everything he gets is like pepper sprinkled on steak, so insignificant.
He wants to climb up, climb higher. Until one day, these vampires recognized his worth and granted him eternal life. This seems easy, but it is extremely difficult. If he wanted to be embraced for the first time, there were vampires all over the place who were willing to serve him. However, what Kai Bradford wanted to acquire was not the kind of inferior blood.
The more he learns about vampire culture, the more he understands the importance of blood. Not to mention vampires below the tenth generation, even at the fifth or sixth generation, there is not much power left from the bloodline. For vampires. At the moment of its birth, 40% of its own strength is determined by blood. Half of the remaining 60% is cultivation, and the other half comes from high-quality "food" pure and powerful girl's blood.
So when he heard some stories about a girl named Isa. My heart suddenly flew up.
"Young, pure, and powerful enough to defeat Su, whom he has trained for many years, such a gladiator has a bright future. Maybe it would be enough to impress Blossom. Let him realize his long-cherished wish of "becoming a high-level vampire".
However, he quickly calmed down. The girl named Isa may be an opportunity, or maybe a trap.
A few days later
He called the other party to the study room.
"how are things?"
"It's all ordinary training, but Malok said there will be a gladiatorial performance next week."
Leah replied. She felt slightly uneasy. The other person was obviously not someone who would call her here out of concern.
"I heard that your brother is a knight?"
Kai asked.
¡¾Here we go, it¡¯s really a matter of life experience¡¿
Leah¡¯s heart tightened. The conversation that follows will be a minefield, and flaws will be discovered if you are not careful.
"Yes, my brother is a knight."
She nodded.
"Which lord did he serve? What was his position at that time? Why did you come to the Principality of Federo from Randall?"
Kai asked a series of questions.
"He served Baron Moller. He was a member of the baron's knights. We came here because my brother became a deserter. At that time, the royalists were retreating steadily, and many people believed that the rebels would gain the final victory. The victory"
"Okay, no need to say more."
Kai waved his hand to stop Leah from continuing to blackmail a certain poor knight. From the beginning to the end of the rebellion. There was an influx of many Randall people into the Principality of Federo. There are many stories like the one told by the girl in front of me, but it is nothing more than becoming a deserter, being wanted across the country, and going into exile.
¡¾Same as the information I got, it seems she didn't lie. ¡¿
In fact, Kai had already sent spies during this period. From the Collinch family who sent the girl to the Randall Kingdom where the girl once lived, everything could not be hidden from him.
There are indeed several knights under Baron Maud who have become deserters. Among them is Isa's brother, a weak-willed man with no backbone. Got infected with a banned potion in the Principality of Federo, ???Has a gambling addiction. The final result was that even my sister lost everything. As for himself, he also became food for the Collinch family.
As for the girl, the Collinch family¡¯s answer fits perfectly with the information Randall investigated. However, Kai didn't know that the Collinch family was an alliance of girls, and Baron Maude was loyal to the Farlane family. Long before coming here. A secret letter has told Baron Maud everything.
The man who never existed, the girl who never existed, Baron Maud arranged everything in one night. Waiting for spies who might come and bring back the false story.
As for Leah's "air brother", although the little Lolita made up the story based on Alec, she did not let Alec actually play this role. After all, one more living person means one more job. The risk is to let that false character be pawned early.
"Speaking of which, your brother doesn't seem to know that you can do magic."
Kai asked.
¡¾Woo! ¡¿
The girl's heart tightened. The title of Demon Swordsman was a whim after coming here. Although it increased some chips in the arena, it also exposed flaws in the perfect story.
But it doesn¡¯t matter, she has already thought of how to answer.
"My brotherhe doesn't like magic."
Leah opened her eyes and said with a gloomy expression.
¡¾The stupid knight only knows how to wield the sword and will never be able to appreciate the charm of magic. ¡¿
Kai sneered in his heart. The little Loli cleverly used the subtle sense of professional hostility between the warrior and the master to eliminate each other's doubts.
"Then who taught you magic?"
Kai asked.
"A magic apprentice, he taught me meditation and a few simple arcane magics."
He wanted to ask that person's name, but quickly gave up the idea.
A magic apprentice, so what if he knows his name? This insignificant existence is like a pebble in the river. Not to mention that the previous investigation of this girl had attracted the attention of Baron Maud, and one of his spies was caught. Going back now will undoubtedly increase unnecessary risks. (To be continued.)
