A Personal Visit

"Captain Lucius and the others may have already made direct contact with the Baron... Nicole, go back inside me for now."

"Okay..."

Just like in the movie, Nicole immediately Transform Into a pink octopus and temporarily took refuge inside Han Dong's body.

Han Dong's judgment was based on a very simple basis.

The force sent by the front gate to deal with Han Dong and his group was clearly not the entire force of the White Manor.

Perhaps due to coercion, all the blood descendants in the manor returned to the main house to help.

"Let's go in and take a look..."

White Manor

The filthy, foul-smelling manor, resembling a den of beasts, allowed Han Dong to vividly imagine the chaotic scene of a large number of Pale Ones once kept in the manor.

However, the current situation is somewhat different.

What filled the manor were not Pale Bloodline... but rather hunched-over Skeleton Soldier.

Renze's "Resurrection of the Dead" also applies to Bloodline.

Whenever a bloodline dies, its skeleton will be invaded by necromantic energy and transformed into a Skeleton Soldier controlled by Lunze... It will also inherit some of its attributes from its previous life.

"Huh? Captain Lucius?"

Just as Han Dong was preparing to venture into the white mansion standing at the center.

Lucius and his group walked out of the main gate of the mansion... their faces were not good, and they were not carrying any blood containers.

Both the length of time and Lucius's expression indicate that they failed to kill the Baron.

"The Baron is no longer here. Only some minor blood relatives remain in this white manor... and there is no record of the Baron himself or the Earl."

Something's not right; we need to get out of here.

Han Dong also looked furrowed in the brow and quickly looked at Simon, the black man who was leading the way, "Could it be that the White Ghost Baron has just been summoned back to the Scarlet Manor by the Earl?"

Simon, quickly lead us to the nearest mountain passage... prepare to evacuate.

"Good!"

Simon also sensed something was wrong. Just as he was the first to run out of the white manor, he suddenly stopped... his condition was abnormal.

"All personnel on high alert!"

The squad then formed a battle formation with Lucius at the center.

"Lord... My lord, please save me..."

Just as Simon uttered those words.

Dark red blood clots protruded from his body, wriggling up and down... Simon was completely unable to use his own earth and rock abilities.

Boom! (Explosion)

Simon, the black man who was just one step away from reaching the Abyssal Demon Level, had his body explode from the inside out... and his two stone eyeballs rolled right in front of Han Dong.

die.

The blood scattered on the ground slowly coalesced, transforming into a high-level being exuding a terrifying aura.

A pure black double-breasted tailcoat trench coat

Long metal nails, resembling crosses, were inserted between the wrists and ankles.

Strange black runes were also drawn on the exposed back of his hand.

He wore a metal goggles with a circular iron cone on his head, and his pale face was marked with an exaggeratedly large, maniacal grin.

The mouth, filled with rows of sharp black teeth, resembled a deep bat cave.

Squeak~ A bat actually flew out of his mouth and landed on the man's shoulder.

Without a doubt... this is the founder of "Scarlet Villa," the source of infection for all bloodlines in the Alagad Mountains.

Behind the Earl stood an Old Butler, five meters tall and as thin as a bamboo pole, his body hunched over, staring at the crowd with eyes that looked like they had severe cataracts.

"Two Mature Body Otherworldly Demons!?"

Indeed, the aura emanating from this Head Butler was comparable to that of the Earl.

At the same time, six Barons, each with a different demeanor, also appeared one after another.

One of them was Baron White Ghost, the head of the White Manor. He moved around in a steam-powered mechanical wheelchair and was plagued by various illnesses, resembling a white, desiccated corpse.

Eight demons, including two Mature Abyssal Demon.

This area is also part of the Scarlet Villa's territory, protected by the "land deed".

This situation put the team in a tense state.

Lucius was also searching for important items, preparing to use his biggest Trump Card in an attempt to fight his way out... According to Simon the Black, as long as they retreated back to Gayn Forest, they could escape the pursuit.

However, the success rate is not high under such circumstances.

Demps, the guy in the team, took a deep breath and also planned to use his backup plan.

In the squad.

Only Han Dong's expression, though seemingly tense, actually revealed a look of 'satisfaction'... as if he had anticipated this situation.

Or rather, this situation was deliberately created by Han Dong.

When Lucius wanted to obtain the Baron's blood, Han Dong was the first to stand up and agree.

"Ha ha..."

From the Earl's large, white-faced, black-toothed mouth came a maniacal laugh that seemed to come from the depths of madness.

"This is indeed very interesting. It seems that there is really the Lord's blood mixed in with your body... I need to disassemble your body and take a closer look."

The Earl raised his hand.

The six barons immediately attacked, Head Butler also made a move... Countless blood bats hovered above everyone's heads.

Just then.

Han Dong made an inexplicable move.

He strode forward alone, head held high, holding a "Scarlet Villa Invitation Letter" that had been prepared beforehand.

"Honorable Earl, Lord of the Scarlet Villa, greetings!"

I am Valen Nicholas, the lord of the Stuart Manor in Gayn Forest.

Having received Invitation Letter from your messenger some time ago, I brought my human friends along to this banquet.

I was truly embarrassed that the Earl personally received me.

These words, combined with the unique aura emanating from Han Dong, were immediately uttered.

Since Simon, the black man, could immediately sense Han Dong's lordly aura, the Earl was naturally no exception.

"Etc..."

The Earl raised his hand, and everyone stopped moving.

"Oh!? The lord of the Stuart Manor... that Great Ghoul, is he dead?"

"That's right."

"Haha, what an honor! I didn't expect the newly appointed lord to invite my Scarlet Villa to the banquet. Please follow me... There are still three days left before the [Red Banquet] begins. In the meantime, please invite the lord and your friends to stay at my humble abode."

My servants will treat you 'kindly'.

"Very well! Please lead the way Earl."

The sudden shift in the situation left Blood Knight Lucius and his group bewildered and somewhat unable to react.

At the same time, a familiar feeling welled up in my heart.

It seems they've been tricked by Han Dong again.

Demps adjusted his glasses, temporarily setting down the unusual object in his hand, and muttered to himself:

"Nicholas, Nicholas... you really dare to act recklessly. Going so directly into the lion's den, there's no way out."

That's interesting. Since you dare to act so recklessly, I'll play along.

If things go wrong, I'll be running away on my own..."
