Morion Begins Squeezing the Vampires

If there is a kind of creature.

He/She is skilled in mind control.

They are also good at disguising themselves.

His greatest skill, or rather, an innate talent, or even an instinct, is bloodsucking.

So he/she must be...?

The answer is Countess Lisilina.

At this moment, on the second-floor corridor of the Lord's Mansion, Countess Lisilina was clearly puzzled as to why Marquis Roderick was there.

For a moment, she considered the possibility that someone might be impersonating the Marquis Roderick to scam her.

But she quickly began to dismiss this idea.

Because humans are not immortal.

Even if humans could record what the Marquis Roderick looked like a hundred years ago in portraits, no one in the present world could so perfectly imitate the Marquis Roderick's appearance.

Judging from his appearance and voice, the man who lifted half of his Fortune Mask was undoubtedly the Marquis Roderick she remembered.

Most importantly, he possesses the qualities of a high- Blood Race.

This is something that humans can hardly possess!

Just as Lisilina was struggling with her dilemma, Morion seemed displeased by her questioning of his identity and pulled a piece of broken wood from his pocket, throwing it on the ground.

This caused Countess Lisilina's pupils to contract sharply.

Even from a great distance, she could clearly see the fragment!

These are the broken wooden planks from the coffin of a marquis sealed in the church!

It was she who came into contact with this coffin that broke the seal!

She would never admit her mistake!

There are only two possibilities for a coffin to be broken.

Either the Marquis Roderick successfully escaped.

Either the Marquis Roderick is dead.

First, ruling out the impossible, this means that Marquis Roderick must have successfully broken the seal!

"Did you break my seal? If not, I will not forgive such an offense from a lowly Blood Race like you."

As Morion spoke, he raised his hand, seemingly intending to kill Countess Lisilina from afar.

Dekan looked at Countess Lisilina's terrified expression, then at Morion, and couldn't help but laugh behind his mask.

He wasn't even sure if Morion could really fool the vampire count this way.

To prepare for the possibility of encountering the Countess at any time in town, the three deliberately smashed the coffin whose sealing magic had expired before leaving the church, and had Morion touch the corpse of Marquis Roderick.

Morion then perfectly mimicked the Marquis Roderick.

Even if this doesn't fool the vampire count, it will likely give her a good scare.

Besides Morion's superb acting skills, the [Fortune Mask] also served as a prop to enhance Morion's aura.

[Fortune Mask]

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Grade: Purple Rare]

[Class: 3]

[Effect: When equipped, this mask blocks low-level detection skills without obstructing the wearer's vision or senses. The more Fortune Mask currency the wearer possesses, the stronger their aura will be.]

[Note: Sorry, but having money really can buy you anything.]

This compensated for the limits that Morion's acting skills could reach.

This gave him the aura of a true strongman.

Of course, Morion himself might also be partly responsible for being able to truly intimidate the vampires.

After all, in a way, Morion can be considered a vampire-human hybrid.

"Marquis! I am not your enemy; I broke your seal! I am Lisilina! The last time I saw you, I was just a little girl. Do you remember?"

Lisilina sensed Morion's intention to eliminate her and shouted, gesturing wildly.

Upon hearing her words, Morion, who had already raised his hand, paused slightly.

He frowned as he observed Countess Lisilina's face, then, as if remembering something, a hint of apology appeared between his brows.

Then he slowly lowered his hand.

"Thank you for saving me. I have successfully broken the seal."

Morion's voice was that of a seasoned actor from the moment he opened his mouth, perfectly mimicking the Marquis Roderick's tone.

Although still imposing, he had softened considerably by now.

The atmosphere, which had been on the verge of breaking down, finally eased as if a misunderstanding had been cleared up.

"They are my family members. I didn't expect you to have your eye on the Lord's Mansion as well."

Morion pointed to Dekan and Cornelia and explained to Lisilina.

"My lord, I am willing to serve you!"

Countess Lisilina seemed to have a particular fondness for Marquis Roderick, her attitude showing complete admiration.

Moreover, Morion's praise and sudden gentle attitude seemed to make the corners of her mouth involuntarily curve into a slight smile, and even her pale cheeks, which had been frightened just moments before, regained a touch of color.

Do you need food?

"I have already eaten; that town has long since become my nourishment. Now I need to heal myself. Moreover, I have become somewhat unfamiliar with the affairs of this world over the past century, so please send someone to deliver the latest intelligence to me first."

Okay, is there anything else you need?

"Yes. If I'm not mistaken, there are quite a few people in this city-state who want to investigate us?"

How did you know?

"Lisilina asked in surprise."

"Hmph, those foolish humans also managed to discover the town. Fortunately, my two large families have been lurking in the town, waiting for an opportunity to rescue me."

"Family members?"

Lisilina looked at Dekan and Cornelia with some confusion.

She could sense that both of them were human.

Not a vampire's familiar.

It is not one of the other immortal beings who have signed a contract with the Marquis.

According to the Marquis, these two were his loyal retainers from before he was sealed away, which is why they were able to patiently lie in wait in the town for the opportunity to rescue him.

That doesn't make sense.

Dekan seemed to sense Lisilina's confusion, cut off the live stream, removed his mask, and transformed into Half-Demon.

Upon seeing this golden-eyed demon, Lisilina instantly understood.

It turns out she misjudged it; this is a special demon that can perfectly disguise itself as a human!

Presumably, the other girl was in a similar situation.

"As expected of the Marquis!"

Lisilina couldn't help but marvel again at having such a powerful demon servant.

"Thanks to you, they were able to complete the blood sacrifice and rescue me. After I was unsealed, we not only captured those humans who tried to investigate us, but also successfully extracted a lot of information from them."

Morion continued to explain, his tone then becoming increasingly resentful:

"We've uncovered nine individuals in the entire city-state who are investigating Blood Race! They belong to an organization called the Resurrection Church, and they're attempting to wipe out the remaining Blood Race from this world! You need to help me find them all!"
