Teresa won't starve

The "His Royal Highness" in the mouth of Caldewin's "uncle"—who should it be?

Just now.

It was about to enter Brunosta Province, but unfortunately encountered a storm, and the entire caravan had to camp in place.The owner of the entire caravan, the maid of the big businessman Kidd, also came over at this time and asked 'Jenny' if she wanted to stay in the caravan.

After all, no matter how strong or weak, at least 'Jenny' is a string warlock, and this alone is stronger than most people, so the big businessman will be very concerned about her, an outsider's opinion.

"I will leave when I get closer to the provincial center."

"Thank you so much for keeping your promise."

"It's me who should be thankful."

After being polite to each other, the maid stopped bothering Alyssa any more.

By the way, 'Jenny' is now Alyssa's pseudonym, and she used 'Jane', 'Ash' and the like before.

Back in the tent specially prepared for her, Alyssa just sat there instead of lying down to rest immediately and get enough energy to go on the road tomorrow.

Seeing that there is only half of the string veins left on his left wrist.

She was a little puzzled, obviously she had given all her power to Teresa, why she could continue to use her string ability?

Can the string energy be reduced to a negative number?

Alyssa couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, so she could only lie down to let her body get a full rest, and looked towards an unknown distance:

"Theresa."

......

......

......

......

"Theresa!"

Hearing the call behind her, Teresa looked back at her.

This made the black-haired girl who was following behind her like a little tail slightly nervous: "Can I, call you Teresa?"

"Don't call it that, what else do you want to call it?"

"Just, you mean yes?"

Teresa quietly looked at the black-haired girl standing under the shade of a tree, avoiding the sun.After a while, he turned around again and continued his journey without knowing where the end point was.

"Wait for me......"

Zi-!

"ah!"

Accompanied by a sound like barbecue, the black-haired girl poked out the back of her hand from the shadow, and then moved towards the direction of the 'acquaintance' under the sunlight, causing the black-haired girl who felt great pain to have to withdraw her hand.

It also made Teresa, who had gone a long way, only come back here again.

"I said it!"

Teresa put her hips on her hips and began to teach: "As a vampire, don't come out during the day. Sleep in the coffin, isn't it fragrant?"

"But—" Facing Teresa, who was a bit 'ultra-fierce', the black-haired girl quickly hid behind the tree, only showing her face and one eye and looked at her: "Then I can't follow you."

"Why do you have to follow me?"

"That's because, because..."

Because she is afraid of being alone.

It's just that she can't say this, because as a long-lived species, she has a lifespan far beyond human imagination, and can enjoy happiness that humans can't understand, yet she still feels lonely-for this reason, she has been ridiculed by her peers more than once.

Teresa stood not far away and looked at her, listening to her 'because' for a long time but also 'because' she didn't come out.

Glancing at the Houkai energy that had been fully recovered after more than ten hours, he extracted a very small part, materialized it into a cloak, and threw it in the direction of the black-haired girl. .

Seeing the black-haired girl catch it, he reminded her: "Put on her, cover your body well, and minimize the area exposed to the sun."

"Oh!"

The black-haired girl nodded quickly, and quickly put on the cloak, which was a color that matched her and was also effective in blocking the sun, and then barely followed.

Well, even though the sunlight was blocked, the cloak that absorbed the heat still made her feel very uncomfortable.

It didn't take long for the black-haired girl to start sweating on her face.

Teresa couldn't help but wondered: "So vampires are also hot?"

"This, I don't know either!"

"..."

"Is this guy an idiot?"

『[Correction] Captain, this is called natural. 』

......

After the sun went down like this, the black-haired girl felt a little more comfortable, and she became more courageous than before.

"Well, Teresa, where are you going next?"

"Find a place to rest."

"Oh."

The black-haired girl was right, human beings need to sleep at night.It's just that in this wilderness, it seems that it's not safe to sleep anywhere, right?

So the black-haired girl said without thinking: "Why don't you sleep with me."

"..."

The black-haired girl also realized the inappropriateness of this sentence - what the hell is sleeping with a vampire?Isn't this even more unsafe!

He quickly waved his hands and tried to explain: "I'm not, I don't..."

However, Teresa's answer was even more tricky:

"So vampires also sleep at night?"

"Uh......"

681 "Family Scramble"

"You... by the way, forgot to ask your name?"

Since "you" is enough to call each other, and the so-called name is just used to replace "that who", so Teresa never thought of asking about it.

In addition, a certain vampire is also not very smart, so he didn't even think of talking about it.

It wasn't until now when Teresa asked, that I remembered that I didn't seem to have told Theresa.

"Oh! My name is 'Katia', Katia Reggios."

"Regios..."

After Teresa gave her a strange look, she said pointedly: "Why is your last name a little different from that guy's?"

"That guy?" Katia didn't understand, but after thinking for a while, she nodded suddenly: "Are you talking about Kosselia? 'Dark Red Knot' is her ability name."

"Ability name?"

"Well, Kosselia's ability is 'Blood Weaving'. She can weave blood into nets, balls, puppet strings, etc., so it's called 'Dark Red Knot'."

"So you don't have special abilities?"

"hey-hey."

Seeing Katia's smirk, Teresa couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or acting.

But in the final analysis, Teresa still knows too little about vampires, and it is not clear whether every vampire has special abilities.

"Ok."

Teresa chose to trust her for the time being, so that it would be convenient to obtain some information.

For example--

"What is a dependent?"

Koselia mentioned before that she was a "family member" of the "Crimson Lord", and then Katia denied this matter, which made Teresa a little concerned.

It was just that there was no time to ask questions at that time, and the parties concerned did not have time to answer, so it has been shelved.

"Family?"

Katia pressed one arm on the table, raised the other arm and supported her chin with her index finger, making a thoughtful look: "That is a title directly belonging to the descendants of Lord Scarlet Demon King, and it is also a status symbol. In the entire 'Family of the Night', there will never be more than three in total."

Familiars of the Night is a masquerade name for vampires.

After all, the name vampire cannot be spoken casually in front of ordinary people, especially in the busy town where Teresa is now.

No one can predict whether the passers-by who pass by casually may be the adjudicator from the Holy Church.

Naturally, Teresa, who didn't want to get into trouble, acquiesced in Katia's practice of not calling herself a "vampire" when there were "outsiders".

Turning her head and looking at it for a while, even at night, it was still a busy street scene like a city that never sleeps. Teresa turned her head and looked at the girl who was holding a wooden wine glass in both hands and drinking something strange: "That is... Are the dependents very strong?"

It's not surprising that Teresa would think so.

According to the conclusion that the dependents are the 'elites' among vampires, the most important criterion for judging them should be 'strength', otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.

"Ah."

Katia put down the wine glass, revealing her wet lips and blood-sucking teeth with red liquid remaining. There was no doubt that she was drinking red wine.

Just as ghouls (ghouls) can satisfy their hunger with coffee, vampires can also rely on red wine to resist bloodlust.

It's just like eating snacks as a meal, which is not only difficult to get full, but also a kind of harm to the body.

Long-term drinking will only make the body weak.

So generally vampires only drink blood, or mix blood with red wine, instead of only drinking red wine like Katia.

"So she's actually pretending?"

"Ah."

"Why do this?"

Teresa didn't understand the meaning of the power obtained through deception.

Or rather-

"..."

Looking at Katia who fell silent, Teresa asked: "How do I become a 'follower'?"

"?"

Katia raised her head suddenly, with obvious confusion in her eyes, as if she was saying: You are a human being who is not even a vampire, why do you become a 'follower'?

But after thinking about it for a while, Katia decided to tell her, after all, it's not a secret:

"The Blood Moon Festival will be held soon, and there will be a battle for the 'Family Quota'. The victor will receive the blood bestowed by Lord Scarlet Demon King and become a new 'Family Member'."

682 "The Bizarre Adventure of the Principal"

"Is Kossela confident of getting the spot?"

"I have no idea......"

"Then tell me all you know."

Katia looked into Teresa's eyes, nodded after a while and said, "Okay."

......

As mentioned earlier, excluding the extreme demons who are purely legends, there are thirteen 'devil kings' in this world, also known as 'thirteen pillars'.

In order of 'known' from top to bottom are:

The fourth pillar - the wheel of time.
