Chapter 9 The Edge of Darkness

In the gorgeous living room, a silver-haired man is sitting cross-legged on the bright red silk carpet. His eyes are closed tightly, and the bright red diamond-shaped gem on his forehead emits a faint red light, one after another, with a strange rhythm.

This person is Daniel.

"How's it going? What did you find?" Rogers looked a little impatient.

"You are making things difficult for me! I have been holding on without sleep for two days in a row." Daniel complained dissatisfied: "I can only roughly sense what they are doing, I can neither hear nor see."

Daniel's bloodline ability is a very rare perception ability, tactile perception. When he awakened this ability when he was still a baron, he could release his sense of touch through the air. To put it simply, he seemed to have a pair of invisible big hands.

, can touch things within a few hundred meters around him. In fact, "touch" is not an accurate description, but a kind of situational awareness, such as

The person in the next room made certain movements, and these body movements were perceived by touch and formed in his mind. When he was promoted to Viscount, this perception distance expanded to several kilometers, and from then on, he no longer opened his eyes. Once he closed his eyes,

With his eyes closed, his abilities will become more sensitive. Daniel can perceive the shaking of the surrounding plants and trees very clearly, even as subtle as ants crawling on the ground.

If that's all it is, this is just a very useless ability, much worse than the visual and auditory perception abilities that also belong to the perception system. But when Daniel was promoted to earl, he not only further expanded the range of perception

He has the ability to project his own sense of touch in the opposite direction. He really has a pair of invisible hands. This is the air cover that blocks the heavy rain on that rainy day. The larger the area of ​​these hands, the weaker the power. On the contrary, if

Concentrated into one point, it can even penetrate thinner steel plates.

Although it still cannot be of much help in frontal battles, Daniel's sense of touch has many wonderful uses in many special occasions. In addition, this bloodline ability is very rare, and Daniel has gradually become a valued member of the Mandala clan.

One of the objects.

"It's so boring! I haven't had anything to do for several days, can you be a little more efficient?" Anna rolled on the sofa, still looking unladylike.

"There is a force field around Edith. My tactile perception can't get through it at all. I don't know if it's the special nature of the void force or the intervention of an outsider. I can know where she went, but I don't know what she did specifically.

." Daniel shed a drop of sweat on his forehead and continued: "Thomas is definitely at the level of a marquis. It is particularly difficult for me to feel him. I can only vaguely feel his movements."

"Marquis?" Rogers was a little surprised. How could he be willing to be a servant when he was already a marquis? There seems to be a story behind it.

"Huh? Your bloodline ability will also decrease by leaps and bounds?" Anna obviously cares about another thing. To her, the Marquis is nothing. As long as she is a little careless, there are many Marquises who will faint from the pain.

.

"All bloodline abilities that directly act on the opponent will be affected by the level." Daniel didn't care. "As far as I know, only elemental natural abilities and legendary abilities don't have this restriction."

"What about Allen? What did you sense?" Anna was very interested.

"A blank." Daniel said helplessly: "I'm the same as you. My bloodline ability has no effect on him. When you get close, it's a blank, and no information can be captured. However, I'm a little better than you. That blank area

In fact, it is equivalent to exposing his location, and I can know where he is."

"So, you still haven't been able to get any useful information." Rogers said depressedly. He was quite confident at first.

Daniel had a few more beads of sweat on his head and said, "No. I thought you were making a fuss at first. Now I think something must have happened. In the past two days, Thomas has obviously been preparing for something, and at the same time, the positions of these three people have overlapped.

Several times, that is to say, they met frequently."

After hearing this, Rogers was about to say something, but Daniel was surprised: "Huh!? Are the three of them going on a long trip?"

"What!?" Rogers was also surprised, and then he quickly calculated.

After a while, Rogers said decisively: "Let's follow up, stay within the coverage of tactile perception, and see what they are going to do."

The Force of the Void has finally left Rose Castle. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Rogers doesn't know what happened to other clans, but he clearly knows that the Mandala clan has been afraid of the most powerful bloodline ability in the world for hundreds of years. Idi

If silk suddenly soared into the sky one day, it would be enough to overturn all the existing vampires.

Pattern and order! But it is helpless that Edith has been staying in Rose Castle. She has not left the castle half a step, and even if she wants to take action, she has no chance. The careerists in the blood clan can only act in a hurry. And there is another person accompanying her.

A bigger goal, Allen! Thinking of this, the corners of Rogers' mouth raised slightly, and the opportunity seemed to be right in front of him.

...

Allen was in a good mood at this time. The butler Thomas was driving a large carriage, and he was sitting in the carriage with Edith, occasionally chatting and laughing, and looking around excitedly through the window from time to time. This was his first time

Going out for the first time. After all, the outside world is new to a boy who is only twelve years old. Even in the dark, the territory of the vampire clan is dim and desolate, with tangled old woods and weeds more than half a meter high everywhere, full of eerie and...

It wasn't a beautiful sight, but Alan still felt very excited.

Allen didn't know the purpose of their trip. The butler Thomas refused to elaborate as usual, but Allen was relieved. After all, they were traveling with the two people who had the closest relationship with him in the castle. Therefore, he also

I didn't notice the faint worry on Edith's face.

Originally, the housekeeper Thomas was firmly opposed to Edith accompanying him, but in the end he couldn't resist her insistence. She had to confirm with his own eyes the safety of Ellen's destination. Therefore, Thomas had no choice but to compromise. Fortunately, most of the route was in the territory of the Rose Clan.

Within a day, only the final journey of less than a day was on the edge of darkness, so the three of them agreed to set off together.

The Vampire Clan's shady territory is not very big. After five days of walking with a bumpy carriage, the scenery on both sides of the road slowly began to become clearer. The trees, flowers and grass gradually took on colors, and from time to time there were the sounds of birds and insects. It was not as oppressive as the shady center.

After comparing it with the gloomy one, Alan finally understood that the sunny and beautiful world that Edith had never forgotten was the human world, a world that was far bigger than the dark world.

"Sister Edith, now I understand why you don't want to become a vampire." Allen murmured as he looked at the scenery outside the carriage.

"This hasn't even happened yet." Edith smiled lightly, as if she was remembering the beauty of the past. She said with a longing expression: "When I was a child, the sky was blue, the earth was green, and flowers were blooming in spring.

It’s colorful. Even in the dark night, the sky is full of stars, so bright and gorgeous. It’s not like a shady scene where everything is so dark that you can’t see anything.”

Allen was also yearning for it after hearing this. He was born in an old castle. His world has always been only darkness and gray, and the unforgettable bright red blood. He said silently: "Can the vampires not leave the dark side at all?"

"Actually, that's not entirely true." Edith was silent for a moment and said: "Sunlight has direct damage to the blood clan. The blood servant may not be able to last for a few minutes, but the average blood knight can already last for several hours, and at the earl level, the sunshine

It can’t kill me anymore, the sun will still burn my skin, but it can’t keep up with my recovery speed.”

"Then we can still go and see the blue sky?" Allen's eyes lit up.

"Fool, recovering under the burning sun for a long time is a kind of punishment of the vampires, called daily punishment." Edith said angrily: "This not only consumes your energy, blood and physical strength, but also cannot replenish it. Let's not say whether you can

If you can withstand this kind of suffering, your strength will degrade over time. More importantly, if this burning state is seen by humans, they will not be attacked by humans."

"Okay..." Allen said discouraged.

"I just said, not entirely. There are still many ways for vampires to sneak into human society, but most of them require the Marquis level to be safe." Edith comforted.

"Marquis..." Allen became even more depressed. He felt that there was no hope for a loser like himself who had been called a loser for so many years.

While the two were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Thomas turned back and said: "We have reached the edge of the black curtain."

Allen and Edith looked up at the sky at the same time, and saw clouds rolling in the sky. They were no longer dense black clouds, but a much lighter gray. The clouds were still very thick, but many places had been penetrated by the sun.

Through it, there are dozens of beams of light penetrating through the continuous gray clouds, which is very spectacular.

"In less than a day's journey, we will arrive at Ladiya. It is already out of the shady area. There will be about three hours of sunshine from 12 noon to 2 pm every day. You are all ready to go.

Let's set off after calculating the time." Thomas said patiently.

"Hahaha!" A loud laugh came from the sky.

Three white figures, each standing on a steel shield, float in the sky.

Rogers held his hands together, and the three of them landed slowly in the air. Under his control, the three shields quickly merged into one, and a long sharp blade protruded from the joint between the shields.

Rogers smiled evilly and said, "It's a pity that you can't go anywhere!"
