Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

"right here……"

Walking on the rammed earth road, Lilith looked at the 'black line' that appeared on the terrain line in the distance, and murmured softly:

"Land of Hope, Middenheim."

Under the light of the crimson moon, a coastal city located by the sea appeared at the end of the horizon, and its outline gradually became clear.Although it is just an outline, it can be seen that its scale is magnificent. Even the city walls are much higher than ordinary cities.

This is Middenheim, the place of hope for the blood race, because there is a real god here——

Lucius Todbringer!
Under His protection, Middenheim successfully resisted hundreds of invasions by dragons and other extraordinary creatures.No matter how powerful the enemy is, the city will never fall down!
Therefore, the vampires who originally scattered in this world would try almost every means to go to Middenheim through many difficulties and dangers.It seems that as long as they arrive at this legendary place of hope for the blood race, they no longer have to worry about the threat of the giant dragon.

However, the fact is that most of the vampires were discovered and hunted down by giant dragons and other extraordinary creatures during the process of 'migration', and were finally annihilated.For example, Lilith's family, even with the protection of a Sequence 4 demigod, was still killed and injured on the way of migration, and she was the only one who survived.

It was also because of this that it was obvious that she came to Middenheim with great difficulty, but Lilith looked at the magnificent city in the distance, but she didn't have much longing and joy in her heart...

She just pursed her lips lightly to hide her complicated heart, and also because she didn't know why she came here now.

At first, she came to Middenheim with her family to seek protection and obtain a stable environment without worrying about the threat of giant dragons.But now that her family has already merged with the crystal glass under the dragon's breath, what's the point of her coming to Middenheim now?

After all, coming here is not out of her own will...

Lilith looked at the embers at the side from the corner of her eye. The reason why they appeared here was entirely due to embers.But Ember obviously didn't look like he needed to come to this city to seek protection, which made Lilith completely puzzled about his insistence on coming here.

Ember saw that it was the girl who was puzzled, but did not give an answer, instead urging:

"Let's go, try to go to the city before dawn."

"Oh."

Lilith pouted, and with their current strength, even if they were traveling during the day, it wouldn't have any effect.The blood race just hates the sun, but it's not restrained by the sun.But since Ember said so, of course she would not refute it ignorantly.

only……

Lilith lowered her eyebrows slightly, staring dangerously at the silver-haired loli beside her.The other party was standing obediently and quietly beside Ember, taking the initiative to hold Ember's hand, like a child who is afraid of getting lost, and never leaves.

The other party behaved very well-behaved along the way, neither asking questions nor even opening their mouths, nor disobeying any of Ember's demands, she would do whatever Ember asked her to do, completely different from her 'rebellious' self.

Olnia also seemed to be aware of her gaze, and tilted her head with an innocent look.

Lilith felt a little upset in her heart, even though she knew that Ornia was faking it, even Ember knew she was faking it.But she could still clearly feel that Ember was much more patient with her than with herself.

But if she was asked to let go and insist on pretending to be as innocent as Olnia, Lilith would not be able to do it.

After all, unlike Olnia, who started to pretend as soon as they got in touch, she and Ember had spent a longer time together, not to mention knowing each other's personalities well, at least they were clear.In this case, if she wanted to deliberately pretend to be like Olnia, even Lilith herself felt awkward, and it might be counterproductive.

Moreover, although she thought about establishing a united front with Olnia, this goal has not been achieved so far.

As for why...

Lilith looked at the silver-haired loli expressionlessly, and Olnia also winked at Lilith cryptically, and the corner of her mouth slightly raised her left hand, which was held by Ember, as if she was showing off, or as if she was showing off. ridicule.

Hard, fist hard!
Lilith clenched her fists.

In this atmosphere of mutual anger, a group of three people approached Middenheim along the rammed road.

Although it was late at night, Middenheim was still brightly lit.

Even the city gates are always kept open, and pedestrians come in and out under the identification of the guards from time to time.

And when the three of them came to the gate of the city, another group of people happened to pass through the gate——

Judging from their dusty attire and red eyes, they are blood races who migrated.

And after they passed the city gate, it was the turn of Ember and the others.

The guard with the appearance of the captain looked at the three people approaching, and was about to ask, but when he looked up and saw Lilith's appearance, he couldn't help but stay for a while, until the subordinates urged him to react.

The captain of the guard swallowed his saliva before stammering:
"This...this blood clan lord, could you please show your pass?"

"I don't have a pass, can't I go into town?"

Lilith frowned slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

The captain of the guard hurriedly said:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't, if you come to Middenheim for the first time, you only need to register to get a pass."

The captain of the guard pointed to his subordinate who was sitting at the table and spread out the parchment, and asked:

"My lord, what's your name?"

"Lilith."

Lilith pointed to the silver-haired loli beside her, and suddenly said:

"This is my sister, Olnia."

"Ok."

The captain of the guard nodded quickly and ordered his subordinates to record it carefully.

Lilith didn't introduce Ember, and the captain of the guard didn't bother.After all, he saw that he was providing blood food for the blood race, whether he registered or not was the same.

"Master Lilith."

The captain of the guard asked respectfully, "Which family do you come from?"

"Do you have to answer?"

Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly.

The captain of the guard hastily lowered his head and explained humbly:

"No, you don't need to answer."

"Then answer."

Lilith picked up a strand of hair next to her ear, curled it with her fingers and then loosened it, seemingly casually saying:

"I'm from the Dorothy family."

"The Dorothy family?"

The guard captain thought about it carefully, and found that there was no corresponding information in his mind.

But this is not surprising, the world is so big, and the major families of the blood clan are extremely scattered, it is impossible for him, a blood servant, to know everything.

"last question."

The captain of the guard asked his subordinates to record it in detail, and then asked cautiously:
"Master Lilith, can you please show your ability..."

His expression looked a little apprehensive, obviously worried that he would offend the other party.But it’s okay not to ask, because in the past, the descendants of blood races and humans’ hybrids came here pretending to be blood races, and obtained treatment and status that did not belong to him, and the blood servant who was in charge of the inspection was executed because of this...

Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly, and the next moment, a dense black mist quietly condensed in her palm.

"Is that enough?"

"Enough, enough!"

The captain of the guard changed his color slightly and nodded quickly.

Condensing the black mist is an ability that only adult vampires can use, even minor vampires can't do it, let alone a vampire like him.

This is enough to prove that the other party is a genuine blood race. If he continues to ask the other party to provide 'proof', then the other party may only use his life to prove it.

The captain of the guard carefully handed a wooden sign and seven gold coins to Lilith, and explained:
"My lord, here is your pass. This... This Lord Olnia cannot have a pass because she is a minor blood race. But according to the regulations, every adult blood race can get five gold coins when entering the city for the first time. Each Minor blood can get two gold coins..."

Lilith took the gold coin, looked at the carved human head on it, thoughtful.

Gold coins are the most commonly used currency on the continent.Lilith's family also used currency, and they also carried a large amount of gold coins when they migrated, just in case.But unfortunately, those gold coins were also buried in the desert with the tribe, leaving nothing behind.

As for the gold coins 'issued' by different families, it is of course different.It is a common practice for different families to engrave the heads of their family rulers on the currency issued by their territories to demonstrate the status of the rulers.

And the image engraved on these gold coins may also be that Luzius——

A true god.

At least the other party advertised themselves that way, at least all the blood races believed so, including the former Lilith.

But in the eyes of Lilith now, Ember is more like a real god than that Lucius whom she has never met before——

At least she had never heard of anyone who could turn an ordinary person into a real vampire, and allow the vampire to devour the blood essence without taking huge risks, so as to obtain the power contained in it.

Lilith glanced at the captain of the guard who was still standing in front of her, and asked impatiently:

"Can I enter the city?"

"Of course, of course..."

Some staring guard captains suddenly broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads, and moved out of the way in panic.

"Olnia, my dear sister~, let's go."

The corners of Lilith's mouth raised slightly, she glanced at Olnia who was still being held by Ember, she suddenly separated the two, and pulled Olnia towards the city with a smile on her face.

Olnia was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to look at Lilith suspiciously, just in time to meet Lilith's eyes, and also saw the provocation in her eyes, as if to say: You can't get what I can't get.

Olnia instantly became expressionless, but soon returned to her innocent appearance, innocently cast a look at Ember asking for help, but Ember could only helplessly shrug her shoulders, expressing that there was nothing she could do to help.

His current identity is 'Blood Eater', and he is not qualified to refute the orders of Lilith, the 'master'.

Lilith also noticed the eye contact between the two, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Now it's her turn! ——
Backlund, in a cafe near King's Road.

Melissa was holding a ceramic spoon, gently stirring the black tea with lemon, and looking sideways at the window covered in white mist from time to time.Her black gauze hat was on the seat next to her, and there was a plate of the cheapest toast in front of her, but she didn't take a bite.

She was worried that sitting here all the time would make the cafe owner unhappy and delay him from making more money.After all, this is not only the intersection of Queens and West End, but also the intersection of King Avenue and Hope Street——

The Prime Minister's official residence is located at No. [-] Hope Street in the West District, and next door to it is the Kingdom House located on King's Avenue in Queens, where Benson is taking the first unified examination for government employees.

This is the place for the second round of exams, and only those who pass the first round of exams are eligible to come here.

And such a geographical location is undoubtedly in the entire West District, and it is also one of the most prosperous neighborhoods.And people like her who order the cheapest black tea and bread seem out of place with the consumption here, and people who are still reluctant to leave are obviously very unwelcome.

Although Benson had told her to order more expensive black tea and snacks, so that the cafe owner would not chase people away at will.But Melissa still didn't want to waste Klein's pension, which would make her, a follower of the Evernight Goddess, feel a strong sense of guilt.

But fortunately, she found out later that many people were staying here, waiting for the opposite exam to end just like her.The owner of the cafe did not show any impatience. Instead of chasing people away, he even gave away a small plate of delicate pastries for free.

Even the cafe owner generously allowed pets to enter, which allowed Daha to squat at her feet and enjoy the warmth brought by the fireplace with her instead of staying outside in the cold.

Well, although they probably don't need it at all...

Moreover, this special case may not be opened for Daha and others.

Melissa subconsciously glanced at the girl at the table next to her. She was wearing a pure white dress inlaid with golden lace, her long golden hair was casually tied, and she was draped softly and shinyly. Her green eyes were as deep as the sea, and as if With the purest gemstones, the combination of facial features and face shape creates a thrilling beauty, with an elegant and pure temperament.

Melissa felt a little inferior for no reason, the other party was undoubtedly a real nobleman.

And the big golden retriever dog lying at the opponent's feet is also obviously valuable——

The exception was made for her.

The blond girl seemed to notice Melissa's gaze and smiled kindly:
"Hello."

"Hello……"

Melissa was a little flattered, and didn't know how to respond, so she asked in a jerk:
"Are you also waiting for your family to take the exam?"

"I'm waiting for my brother."

Audrey blinked and replied with a smile.

In fact, she was indeed waiting for the exam to end.But her brother Hibbert is not taking the exam, but the chief examiner of the exam——

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the Hall family is actively seeking 'progress' in all aspects.As the earl's heir, Hibbert is now the cabinet secretary, and at the same time, he has the opportunity to preside over the first unified examination for government employees.
