(Everyone's saying the difference between the beginning and the end is too big, but actually this is the most realistic. Adam isn't stupid, would he keep feeding Norton experience wave after wave? Besides, this kind of writing, where the younger ones are beaten up and then the older ones come up to beat up one after another, is just too much like a novel. Don't real strong people just crush you with a single move? Writing it like this is the least consistent with the thinking of a character like Adam.)
Additionally, as corrected by a reader, the previous text has been slightly revised; Elizabeth VI has been changed to Elizabeth I.
Because of the Papal State, the royal families and noble families of the Southern Continent can undergo efficient succession.
While most newly appointed nobles or kings would choose to live in castles that were still relatively intact, there were always those who didn't want to live in places that others had previously inhabited.
This has resulted in numerous castles in the Southern Continent; even in this remote town, there is still a remnant of an ancient castle.
The castle was eerie, and its dilapidated walls, neglected for years, had begun to crumble.
Although Queen Elizabeth I resides here, the previous queen was far less powerful than even the weakest lord, with only ten knights and seven or eight servants in the entire castle.
This made the castle even more eerie, like a Vampire's castle.
Of course, it might just turn into a real Vampire castle.
The bright moonlight shone on the ancient castle, adding a touch of eeriness to the deserted place.
It was nearly midnight, but the former Queen Elizabeth I was still awake.
Europeans and Americans grow and develop quickly, and given that this was the Middle Ages, this queen was already mature, both psychologically and physically. Although she wasn't exactly voluptuous, she was certainly a beautiful and graceful young woman.
A single lamp, dim and dim, could not illuminate the spacious and towering rooms of the ancient castle.
This made the area around the lights appear shadowy and dim, while anything further away seemed dark, gloomy, and ancient.
Moonlight streamed through the castle windows, illuminating the house and reflecting on Elizabeth I's slightly furrowed brows.
As a princess of the former dynasty, her life was not easy. Although the new king appeared to be kind and benevolent, he actually kept a close watch on them, the former royals.
Even the death of her adult brother Edward VI, was imbued with a different kind of significance.
She was the First Stage woman left alive, and only through the king's mercy could she barely survive.
Even so, both the knights who guarded her and the servants who served her had been bribed by the king and had become accomplices in monitoring and even imprisoning her.
Since her brother's death, she has found it increasingly difficult to step freely out of the castle. Her only purpose in life now is to be occasionally taken out by the king to demonstrate his benevolence.
Young girls are always in love, especially those who are imprisoned.
Having fallen into such a state, the main reason why Elizabeth I has been able to maintain her mental health to this day is simply that she indulges in long periods of daydreaming every day.
I fantasize that one day a dashing prince on a white horse, sword in hand, will behead the king and become the new king. Then one day, while touring the country, he happens to pass by this place and sees himself sitting at the window of the castle, gazing out...
Elizabeth I sat by the window of her room in the gloomy castle, letting the moonlight shine on her still-tender skin. Her bright blue eyes were slightly hazy as she fantasized about her Prince Charming...
"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for a month, please have something to eat!"
Deep in the dark jungle, two ghostly figures dressed like beggars darted through the bushes, moving with the ease of walking on flat ground even in the pitch black.
Father Abraham, dressed in tattered clothes stolen from somewhere, was holding a large, smelly rat in his hand and carrying it toward Norton's location.
The Southern Continent was so vast that it took Norton and Father Abraham five whole years to finally leave the Papal State States.
"I won't eat it! Such a vile thing, even its blood is foul and repulsive. I want to drink the blood of young girls to discover its wonders!"
Norton slapped the large rat out of Father Abraham's hand and angrily rebuked him.
Do you even know how those two Vampire have been coping these past two months?
Within the Papal State, Father Abraham could locate places by the city, but once outside the Papal State and into the wilderness, both Vampire got lost.
At first, things were fine; they just needed to follow the directions. Their plan was to travel to the smallest country furthest from the Papal State in order to advance the Blood Clan.
As a result, they ended up in the high-altitude Gobi Desert. The temperature in the entire high-altitude Gobi Desert was extremely cold, and there were very few creatures. Apart from large rats, the only other creatures were foxes and jackals. The key thing was that, for some reason, these creatures all smelled foul and pungent. Even their blood had a foul smell. If you inhaled it, your mouth would be filled with a foul stench, like drinking fermented urine.
This made Norton miss the sweet, fragrant blood of those young girls he drank when he was still in Lino City.
The big rat was knocked to the ground and made a squeaking sound.
"Alas!" Father Abraham sighed deeply, feeling utterly helpless.
His Majesty Norton certainly put Abraham through a lot of trouble along the way, demanding this and that every now and then, constantly saying things like, "What use are you if you can't even do this right?" This left Abraham feeling both helpless and under immense pressure.
Your Majesty, we've both fallen on hard times, why are you still asking for so much?
Your Majesty Norton is so weak from not drinking blood for so long that he can barely run anymore, slower than Abraham, and you're still being picky about food?
In fact, Abraham wronged Norton. Norton was a shrewd fellow; he was secretly hiding something.
After all, Norton is an immortal being who can live without absorbing blood, and his body is always at its peak. At most, he can't advance in rank because he doesn't absorb blood, so how could he possibly be unable to run?
But the more you interact with people, the more careful and cautious you need to be!
New-Type Vampire cannot go without food for long periods of time, and each of the Third-Generation Vampire has its own unique circumstances.
The First-Generation Vampire did not have a heartbeat, but they had blood. If they did not eat for a long time, their blood would be gradually consumed. This blood may have the effect of lubricating their body structure. If they did not eat for too long, their body would gradually dry out, their ability to move would gradually weaken, and they would eventually enter a dormant state.
Moreover, the bloodlust will gradually increase during this period.
Second-Generation Vampire are in an even worse situation. Perhaps because their mutated genes have been diluted, and because they are transformed from living organisms, they still retain a heartbeat, the ability to pump blood, and the flow of blood throughout their bodies. With prolonged periods without food, their hearts gradually stop beating, and blood flow gradually becomes stagnant. This forces them into a forced state of hibernation before their blood is completely depleted, making their heart a major weakness.
As for Third-Generation Vampire, the kind resembling the handsome men and beautiful women in modern movies and TV shows, they are even worse. Their activity level is much higher, and they haven't even escaped the realm of living beings. Damage to their heart, blood, or even brain is fatal. Even their dormancy has a time limit; prolonged dormancy will deplete their blood supply. Once their blood is gone, these Vampire can no longer passively consume external blood, thus losing their activity and becoming completely lifeless. Therefore, even after dormancy, Third-Generation Vampire require a special awakening service to prevent them from sinking into a state of lethargy.
The blame lies entirely with Norton; he watched too many different kinds of videos in his past life, especially the scene in Underworld where Elder Viktor's heart revives after a hundred years, which became the root cause of the weakness of the Third-Generation Vampire.
