0369 Chapter Seven: The Wisdom of Mortals (Section 75)
"Oh? Are you a member of Lan Taigong's clan? Please come in, please come in."
Under the city gate, three girls took the certificate documents from the blood servants of Duke Enah and filed in.
Some of them were petite, some were strong, and some had a sparkle of wisdom in their brows, which made all the city guards look straight at them. The three girls were none other than the blond Lolita, Ai Luogensi, and Zhen Cheng.
This kind of gaze filled with desire is not simply a desire for a better-looking girl due to gender. What is more contained in the red eyes of the city guard is a kind of appetite.
"Hey, look, those three people coming in from the Lower City are pure-blooded humans, right? Tsk, tsk, at first glance, they are carefully selected blood bags. It's hard to imagine that the Lower City can produce such top quality products."
The city gate is just a symbolic stone arch, a bit like the Arc de Triomphe in the hometown of Earth. There are no city walls on both sides of the gate, but about ten meters high, which can only be used as a black curtain to block the sight.
This is the magic barrier that separates the upper and lower city areas.
The black curtain in the barrier is colored and invisible. If you want to reach out and touch it, you will be blocked by an invisible force field, which is specially designed to isolate the line of sight between the upper and lower cities.
If you want to see the scenery across the city beyond the three- or four-story shady curtain, you can only look up at the foot of the mountain, or look down from the towering or suspended mage towers in the upper city.
In short, it is possible to watch, but there is absolutely no communication.
The city gate itself is just a decoration for the opening of the barrier. Even if it is destroyed, it will not have any impact. Therefore, the guards guarding the city are simply performing approval and registration and going through the motions rather than guarding it.
If there really is a powerful person who can break the barrier between the upper and lower city areas, these guys will be fine with or without them.
In the middle of the shady scene, beside the lonely city gate, the city guards who had taken off their armor gathered in twos and threes and ate snacks. They pointed and talked about Zhen Cheng and the other two people in a voice that the three of them could clearly hear:
"Oh, I'm not surprised. With his dignity, Mr. Lan Tai obviously never cares about the appearance of his target, right? I heard that he always buys the blood of mages.
Anyone who can become a magician is extremely smart. Mr. Lan Tai must have taken a fancy to that wisdom and wanted to gradually evolve to become smarter. After all, he is a scholar."
The characteristics of the person being sucked will affect the Vampires themselves to a greater or lesser degree. From appearance to personality. The soldier who spoke clearly thought that Zhen Cheng and the others were the blood bags selected by the noble master.
Such a title sounds scary, but in fact the situation of the blood bags is very good.
The vast majority of nobles will not bite the blood bag they have chosen to suck it dry at once, but will give them a life of worry-free food and clothing, and drink it at intervals that ensure their health.
If this is difficult to understand, imagine a top-quality skin care product or nutritional solution that has a shelf life of decades if used carefully. Once you choose one, you may not find a more satisfactory one for decades.
Only an idiot would choose to drain it all at once.
"Look at their eyes, you idiot. The taller one and the youngest one must have received their first hug just like us. If you ask me, they should be the blood anklet prep students secretly trained by Mr. Lan Tai, ready to be dedicated to the dome.
From the Blood Palace."
"No way? Although these three criteria of appearance are enough, there is no flattery in the words and deeds. There is no way that the blood anklet will be accepted, right?"
"Let me tell you, they are professional archaeologists under Mr. Lan Tai, who went to Xiacheng District specifically to investigate the ruins.
Have you heard that the House of Commons has sealed off all the ruins in Xiacheng District, and for this reason, they did not hesitate to break up with the major churches..."
The customs clearance documents were handled by a blond loli. For matters involving Shangcheng District, this child obviously has wider connections than the four presidents. Being traced all the way by the bloody anklet, it is obvious that she cannot be a member of Lan Tai Gong.
The reason why she chose this false identity was because she took a fancy to the recent relics turmoil in Xiacheng District and the frequent exchanges between the great collector Lan Taigong and Xiacheng District.
Mr. Lan Taigong himself is only of the [Climb] rank, and corresponding to his status as a vampire, he is just an earl. He is simply not qualified to step into the circle of big shots in the upper city.
But he is rich, so rich that everyone in the city knows about it. Even if someone comes forward and says that this guy's name has spread to the Dome Blood Palace, no one else will believe him.
Furthermore, he was a well-known collector. Lan Taigong's subordinates went in and out of the upper and lower city boundaries more frequently than the House of Commons, which was nominally in charge of all matters in the lower city combined.
Forging such an identity will least arouse suspicion.
The soldiers talked and laughed in a very public manner, without caring about the face of the three girls. The reason is actually very simple. No matter whether Zhen Cheng and others are the blood bags of Lord Lan Tai, consultants, or even blood anklet preparatory students,
They won't be afraid.
The upper city of Vanbaea is governed by the four highest-ranking pure-blood princes. Among them, the Yi Na lineage is fully responsible for the security of the inner city, barrier maintenance and garrison.
In other words, these prostitutes were all lackeys of Duke Eena.
Generally speaking, the level of the vampire clan is directly proportional to their noble status. However, the four people named "Grand Dukes" in the upper city area do not correspond to the vampire dukes in the fifth-dimensional [God Awakening] realm, but to the eighth-dimensional
[Separation] The pure-blood prince of the realm.
They are all direct bloodlines of the Divine Ancestor and the Holy Emperor, and are more powerful than the current Lord of the Dome Blood Palace, the Divine Emperor. They are called "Grand Dukes" simply because these four have their own dukes outside the royal capital.
From Zhen Cheng's position, she could never attract the attention of such a great god, so no matter how much she was slandered by the city guard, she could only hear it in one ear and out the other.
But when the same words fell into the ears of Ai Luogensi, she couldn't bear it anymore. Her face remained calm, and her right hand silently slid to the handle of the enchanted fire gun.
She didn't know why the Grand Duke was there, but it wouldn't be a problem to kill two or three kittens at the city gate. Even the lowest level among these careless city guards was no worse than her own.
Zhen Cheng didn't understand his sister's temper. As soon as Luo Gensi made a move with her hand, Zhen Cheng grabbed her arm and put her in his arms. She stared at her like a little bird loving her.
So cute.
Seeing Zhen Cheng's appearance, Sister A was stunned on the spot. All the offended anger was forgotten, as if the only thing left in the lightless universe was her sister's smile.
The blond loli who was leading the way covered her mouth and chuckled, looking like a brat, as if she already knew these adult things.
Behind the three of them, the city guard's proud and obscene words came again: "Am I right? Looking at their close relationship with each other, they must have been trained as blood anklet preparatory students."
"Stop your teeth and don't think about it. Those stunning beauties with bloody anklets are not of interest to the opposite sex."
