Luring an Eight-Hundred-Year-Old Vampire Girl / The Burial Agency Meeting

"You intentionally injured me with the intent to kill me because of your own wrong assumptions, while I was only acting in self-defense and should not use this as a reason to request a reduction in compensation."

Faced with the pure and True Ancestor Princess's request for reconciliation, Gwen refused without hesitation.

"But I don't know how to make it up to you."

Arcueid's eyes dimmed slightly, and she said dejectedly.

According to Arcueid's common sense, the wrongdoer should seek forgiveness from the victim.

"Since you just wanted to kill me, why not just give me my life in return?"

Gwen hesitation.

"No."

Arcueid immediately refused—

"I didn't kill you, so I can't give you my life in return."

Chapter 540 Seducing an 800-Year-Old Vampire Girl

Under the moonlight, a sly glint appeared in the True Ancestor's Princess's crimson eyes—

"I mistook you for Roa, and it was wrong of me to attack you, but I didn't actually kill you, so why should I pay you with my life?"

Looking into Arcueid's eyes, Gwen seemed to see a question in her gaze—"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Gwen was not disappointed, but simply smiled and increased his stakes.

"What if we add Roa?"

As is widely known, based on the relative strengths of the Dead Apostles and Human Order, the Type-Moon World can be roughly divided into two directions—

In the Fate route where Human Order flourishes, it is possible to summon Heroic Spirits and Servants. Although there are Dead Apostles, they are at most so-called Upper Dead Apostles, and there are no True Ancestors or Ancestor of the Dead Apostles.

With the decline of Human Order, it is almost impossible to summon Heroic Spirits and Servants. The True Ancestors, created by Gaia in imitation of the King of the Moon, Crimson Moon, take the lead. The Holy Church, as the opposing force, ensures the survival of humanity (probably).

Because of certain flaws in the creation of the True Ancestors, they have a vampiric urge that can only be relieved by drinking human blood. In order to ensure that they always have food, the True Ancestors kept some humans in captivity, turning them into Dead Apostles after they drank a small amount of blood, so that they could be used at any time.

However, the temptation of bloodsucking was too great for the True Ancestors, and some of them even became addicted to it and their personalities changed drastically.

In the 12th century, in order to hunt down their fallen kin, Gaia, with Gaia's help, created Arcueid by imitating the True Ancestors created by the King of the Moon, Crimson Moon—

All the other Protoss were created by Type: Crimson Moon, while Arcueid is the only Protoss born after Crimson Moon's destruction. She is a weapon created by the Protoss and Gaia, possessing the potential of a UO, and is one of the two vampires who inherited the title of Brunestud.

As the executioner of the Fallen True Ancestor and the perfect vessel for the King of the Moon, Crimson Moon, Arcueid possesses combat abilities far greater than those of other Ancestors. Furthermore, as a weapon, she has no need for knowledge.

As a result, Arcueid, who thinks that "as a weapon, all I need to do is fight," doesn't speak most of the time and believes there's no need to talk to others.

After the fallen Protoss and the powerful Dead Apostles who, as blood sacrifices, began to rebel after their strength increased, were mostly eliminated, the Protoss of the Millennium Castle finally thought of educating Arcueid, who was still a blank slate.

At this time, Arcueid was suffering from his first vampiric urge. Roa, from the Church of Saints, tricked Arcueid into drinking his blood with sweet words in order to gain power. Arcueid went berserk and killed all the other True Ancestors in Brunestud.

This created a personal feud between the two sides.

Although Roa was also killed by the rampaging Arcueid at the time, as a descendant of the strongest True Arcueid, Roa also obtained the power he wanted.

By combining the spells he had prepared in advance, Roa successfully achieved infinite reincarnation—each time he died, his soul would be transferred to the body of a random child through the Infinite Reincarnation Art, and awaken after growing to a certain age, thus completing his resurrection...

He was then instantly killed by Arcueid, who caught up with him, and continued to reincarnate.

Aside from occasionally waking up to kill the reincarnated Roa, Arcueid has been sleeping in the Millennium Castle of Brunestud for a thousand years, suppressing her power.

"Roa?!"

Upon hearing the name that tormented her day and night, Arcueid's clear crimson eyes flashed with a faint golden light, and her voice became more strained with gritted teeth.

The innocent smile on her pretty face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold expression—

Do you know where he is?

Almost without thinking, Arcueid asked the question, then immediately shook her head.

"No, I can find him myself..."

Arcueid paused, staring intently at Gwen for a moment, before deliberately saying—

"I can do all of that myself."

"Oh..."

Seeing Arcueid's somewhat clumsy attempt at provocation, Gwen chuckled, finding the eight-hundred-year-old True Ancestor Princess before him utterly endearingly naive.

"Indeed, you can find Roa, let him play hide-and-seek with you for a while, kill him, and then wait for his next resurrection to continue being toyed with?"

Despite making biased statements, Gwen met Arcueid's gaze without flinching.

"I also want to kill that guy completely, but I just can't do it..."

Arcueid was not angered by Gwen's barbed words, but instead muttered something under her breath with a slightly evasive gaze.

As she spoke, Arcueid seemed to realize something, and her averted gaze met Gwen's again—

"How could you say something like that? Do you even think you could do it?"

Clearly, the naive Princess, who had just been provoked, had almost forgotten what she had intended to do.

"I think I can..."

Gwen smiled, a wisp of dark blue flame swirling between his fingers—

"I am not very talented, but I happen to be quite skilled in the realm of the soul."

"Are you willing to help me kill Roa?"

As Arcueid stared at the Corpse Qi between Gwen's fingers, her soul trembled slightly involuntarily, causing Arcueid to instinctively shrink back.

However, this slight tremor did not make Arcueid feel any sense of crisis. Instead, she stared intently at the Corpse Qi between Gwen's fingers.

"That depends on you..."

Gwen smiled but remained silent.

"Um..."

Seeing the smile on Gwen's face, Arcueid realized Gwen's purpose in showing her the Corpse Qi (Sludge Belcher's Aura), and hesitated for a moment—

Instinctively, Arcueid wanted to agree.

But it seemed as if a voice in the darkness was warning her not to agree to such a promise.

With a quick glance, Arcueid came up with an excuse—

"Perhaps you do have some expertise in the realm of souls, but Mei Lian said that the Holy Church has also had people skilled in soul magic who tried to deal with Roa, but none of them succeeded."

Arcueid spoke, her pretty face tense, her expressionless demeanor only making her seem more guilty and adorable to Gwen.

"Oh...

You're so naughty...

With a soft chuckle, Gwen presented Arcueid with his right hand, which had been Corpse Qi.

"Um?"

Arcueid tilted her head, looking at Gwen with some confusion.

"Get up first. If you want to see if I can deal with Roa, we need to find that guy first, right?"

"Oh, that's true..."

Arcueid tapped her head, her short blond hair swaying slightly, and grabbed Gwen's hand, using it to help her stand up.

"In your perception, where is Roa reborn this time?"

Looking at the moonlight, Gwen asked casually.

"You don't know where Roa is?"

Arcueid paused slightly, surprised.

Chapter 541 Burial Agency Meeting

"You won't even pretend to agree to a deal that's neither a loss nor a gain, and you're only thinking about getting something for nothing. Well then, you'll have to find someone else like Roa yourself."

Gwen chuckled as he met Arcueid's "Are you kidding me?" gaze.

"Hmph... stingy..."

Upon hearing this, Arcueid unconsciously looked away and muttered something under his breath.

Immediately, amidst Gwen's soft laughter, Arcueid closed her eyes and began searching for Roa's direction.

As Roa's direct superior, Arcueid could sense Roa's location even though they were separated by half the Earth.

This is also why Arcueid was able to find and kill Roya the moment Roa awoke.

However, after closing her eyes and sensing for a moment, Arcueid unconsciously frowned—

Why not?

I just sensed that Roa had awakened...

With doubts in her heart, Arcueid intensified her search.

After a long while, Arcueid slowly opened her eyes under Gwen's gaze—

"Has it been found?"

Gwen, noticing Arcueid's frown just now, asked.

"That's strange."

Arcueid nodded at first, then immediately shook his head—

"I awoke because I sensed Roa's presence, but I could only vaguely sense his presence, as if he hadn't awakened yet."

"It seems that after you killed so many people, Roa didn't just sit idly by."

Gwen seemed to be pointing something out.

"Snort!"

Upon hearing this, Arcueid snorted coldly, but not at Gwen, but at Roa, who hadn't obediently jumped out to be killed by her.

So, roughly in which direction is it?

"Gwen asked."

"East--"

Arcueid extended her slender, jade-like finger, pointing towards the east.

"Then let's go. No matter how we hide, Roa will eventually jump out in front of us."

Gwen spoke, he tried to retrieve the trench coat he had just used to cover Arcueid's body, but found that he couldn't budge it.

"?"

Gwen looked at Arcueid with a puzzled expression.

"I'm a little cold."

Meeting Gwen's gaze, Arcueid's eyes darted slightly as she uttered nonsense that Gwen didn't believe a word of, and draped the beige trench coat over her shoulders.

"Oh...

If you're cold, have some hot drinks..."

Gwen chuckled and handed Arcueid a cup of hot milk tea.

"Thanks..."

Arcueid took the milk tea from Gwen, instinctively put the straw in her mouth, her throat bobbing slightly as the sweet aroma filled her tongue, and she instantly squinted her eyes in bliss—

"Mmm... it tastes good..."

Although it wasn't an expensive wine, the sweetness from the large amount of sugar still satisfied True Ancestor Princess's taste buds.

"Let's go. First, let's find a nearby human town, see what era we're in, and what kind of power we can borrow."

Looking at Arcueid, who was holding a milk tea in both hands and squinting her eyes like a cat, Gwen said with a smile.

"Um..."

Arcueid nodded readily, and the two figures disappeared side by side into the dense forest.

The information that White Princess Arcueid had been revived and left the hidden Millennium Castle with another high-energy target was recorded by the magic hidden there and transmitted to the Holy Church, which had been paying close attention to the area.
