"Haha, the great elder and Yorok are really living and returning, and they actually want to contact a suspicious existence that even gods don't know whether it is a god. It seems that the long time has made them forget that observing and grasping is not omnipotent. It is not
All existences have good intentions towards the blood descendants!"
"Yourst, a god who has fallen into eternal sleep cannot provide shelter for his relatives. The Ness clan must find another way..."
"The Holy Advent is coming soon. As the first gods to awaken from their slumber and who are also members of the vampire race, the Archduke of the Blood Demon represents the future of Ness!"
Elder Maxim’s voice was loud and his expression was majestic.
After hearing his words, Yurst's expression changed slightly:
"Your Majesty Abaddon? You... you are not cooperating with the Blood Demon Archduke! You actually took refuge in the Blood Demon Archduke!"
Elder Maxim gave him a faint look:
"Take refuge? Even if it means taking refuge, why not?"
"Although you have not experienced the War of Gods period, you have witnessed the power of myths in the Age of King's Blood. Then you should understand that in this world, only by possessing myths... can you control your own destiny!"
"Extraordinary power comes from God, and all glory belongs to God. Without God's protection, the so-called extraordinary... is just water without a source and a tree without roots."
"Even if you are able to tolerate it for a while, under the erosion of time and the decline of your bloodline, you will eventually move towards destruction and severance..."
Yurst's eyes widened:
"So...you chose the Blood Demon Archduke? Elder Maxim, have you forgotten what a crazy god that is?!"
"Crazy? So what about madness? Yurst, if you have experienced the battle of the gods, you will understand that compared to madness... to mortals, rational gods are more terrifying."
Elder Maxim shook his head slightly.
"Crazy! You must be crazy! You actually want to switch to the Blood Demon Archduke! Do you want Ness to become another Blood Demon Order that everyone wants to beat?"
"Even if His Majesty Kexi really falls into eternal sleep, even if the Ness clan loses the god who protects it, the future of the Ness clan will never be left in the hands of a hysterical lunatic!"
Yurst said angrily.
Elder Maxim's expression changed slightly and he said gloomily:
"Yourst, for the sake of being a descendant of Ness, I can forgive your offense this time..."
After saying that, he looked at Yurst coldly:
"Now, I'll give you two choices."
"1. Surrender to me, sign a blood contract with me, and offer me your loyalty. I will not hold you accountable for your past mistakes. On the contrary... I will also grant you further possibilities."
"Second, you can also choose to refuse, but in that case, don't blame me for using the Blood-Desecrating Staff to turn you into a blood servant..."
"Blood Servant! You actually want to transform a Vampire into a Blood Servant! You...you madman!"
Earl Jurst said angrily.
Elder Maxim gave him a faint look:
"The troubled times are coming, and all the rules of the past will be broken. Those who stick to those old rules will eventually be eliminated by the times..."
"Yulst, I admire your accomplishments in magic inscriptions. After all... you were once an alchemist as famous as the legendary mage Nicholas..."
"The era of human rule is coming to an end. Following that waste of Yorok will not bring you a better future. Rather than continuing to waste time in your country castle, why not be loyal to me and I will give you a better future?"
future."
"Yourst, I will give you three days to think about it. After three days... I will ask you again."
"Become my follower, or become a blood servant who has completely lost his freedom and will!"
After saying that, Elder Maxim turned and left.
"Wait! Where are my blood descendants!"
cried Yurst.
Elder Maxim paused slightly and said calmly:
"Don't worry, those blood descendants who followed you on the mission are still alive."
"Of course, whether they live or die next depends on your choice..."
After speaking, Elder Maxim said no more, but left the room and locked the door.
Only Yurst was left looking at the dim room with a gloomy expression.
"Bang!"
He punched the wall, and his already pale face turned ashen.
…
Count Jurst did not know how long he had been imprisoned.
The passage of time could not be felt in the dim room, and even the candlelight on the table had been removed. It was obvious that his long life had made him lose his sensitivity to time, but at this moment, he still felt extremely tortured.
He didn't know if Duke Yorok had noticed his disappearance, and he didn't know where the blood descendants who followed him were now.
He hoped that the Duke would discover his disappearance.
But reason told him that this possibility was infinitely close to zero.
Three days was an extremely long time for him who was forced to make a decision, but three days was just a blink of an eye for the Blood Duke who was waiting for his subordinates to report on their work.
Count Jurst knew he had to make a decision.
He knew that Elder Maxim would never let him leave peacefully.
He seems to have a choice, but in fact he has no choice.
Or, betray the Duke you follow and desecrate the glory of the vampire clan.
Or, stick to your heart, but in the end you are doomed to have your consciousness manipulated and become a blood servant...
"This is not a choice! No matter what...I will eventually become Elder Maxim's tool to deal with the Duke, and even the Great Elder!"
"The Blood Demon Order has no bottom line in its actions, and the Blood Demon Grand Duke Abaddon is a paranoid lunatic. They are definitely not the future of Ness!"
"Cooperating with the Blood Demon Order will only make the Ness clan become a tool of the Blood Demon Archduke and become a stepping stone for him to come to the world!"
"No wonder the Duke said that my trip is likely to determine the future of Ness... Elder Maxim is the senior standing elder of the elders. Over the years, I am afraid that there are countless blood descendants who have been won over by him!"
"No! I have to find a way to report everything to the Duke! I have to give a warning! Elder Maxim has actually started to use Shedite's bloody staff to create forbidden blood servants. He has gone crazy. He wants to
By destroying the bloodline foundation that the Ness clan has maintained for thousands of years, he is going to destroy the entire Ness clan!"
The more Earl Jurst thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.
However, when he looked around, he felt depressed again.
He was locked up.
All his belongings were confiscated.
Even his bloodline power was temporarily imprisoned.
How can he contact the Duke now?
Are you pretending to surrender and looking for opportunities?
No, it's impossible. Elder Maxim will never give him a chance. Once he surrenders, the other party will definitely force him to sign a blood contract that cannot be broken. Even if he is not a blood servant, he will lose the ability to resist the other party.
Think about it!
Think of what else you can do!
Count Jurst couldn't help getting up and pacing back and forth in the room.
However, it has no effect at all except making myself more anxious.
At this time, Yurst suddenly felt regretful.
He regretted that he had returned from Beigang in such a hurry, and regretted that he had left too hastily.
If he had stayed in the Northland for a while longer, or more directly, if he had communicated with his Duke through the communication crystal in advance before leaving the Northland, he might not be as passive as he is now.
Maybe he will still be attacked and hijacked, but at least... he will be able to convey the results of the negotiations with Castel in advance, instead of being locked up without even spreading the news like now.
He could even predict that Elder Maxim would definitely attribute his disappearance to Castel!
etc……
Castel?
As if he thought of something, Yurst froze.
A bright light seemed to flash in his mind. At this moment, Earl Yurst suddenly had a bold idea...
"etc……"
"Since I can't contact the Duke, then...can I try praying to the Thorn Rose?"
This thought startled Yurst himself as soon as he came up with it.
It is very dangerous to pray to a god that you do not believe in, let alone one who knows nothing about that god.
In fact, many times praying to a strange god will not receive a response. At most, you will only receive a moment of gaze with the power of "pollution".
However, when Yurst came up with this crazy idea, he could no longer hold back this bold idea.
Even this idea of praying to other gods for help is essentially the same as Elder Maxim who sought refuge with the Blood Demon Archduke Abaddon...
"No... it's different. Believers are often influenced by gods. Judging from the communication with Count Castells, the mysterious god does not seem to be a crazy god..."
"Although I have not yet gained mutual trust with Castel, the other party has not refused the possibility of cooperation, and behind this... there must be the tacit approval of the gods!"
"Not to mention... I also made a promise to provide a method to restore divine power!"
"From this perspective, that mysterious god is likely to respond to my call!"
"Not only that, although the Holy Royal Court has carried out a certain degree of cover-up, I know that the Blood Demon Order tried a failed divine descending ceremony some time ago, and the person who stopped the Blood Demon Order at that time was none other than that person.
Honor the mysterious gods!”
"The mysterious god behind Castel...most likely has an irreconcilable grudge with the Blood Demon Order!"
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the Ness clan... has what the mysterious god needs!"
"Pray to Him, maybe... He will really look down and help!"
Thinking of this, Yurst took a deep breath and his expression gradually became firmer.
Instead of bowing to the notorious Archduke Blood Demon, he is more willing to show favor to the one behind Castel!
After making up his mind, Yurst no longer hesitated. He bit his fingertips and carved the mysterious symbol he had seen in the dim light...
