The Church still holds considerable authority on matters of inhumanity.
Norton is generally a decent human being, but when he acts inhumanly, he's even less human than the Church.
Elizabeth's training continued, and her agonizing mental torment was estimated to last for a full ten years, in order to completely destroy her mind and deeply imprint the terrifying image of Norton in her heart, making it her eternal nightmare.
Of course, this is just one example of Norton's inhumanity.
His truly inhuman side will only be revealed when he faces Mann Town.
The population of the Mann Town alone is far too small compared to the Vampire army Norton desires. Even the entire small country of Sesvia, with its population of 400,000, may still face extreme difficulties in dealing with the Church.
Therefore, in order to rapidly increase the number of Vampire, Norton sent all the Second-Generation Vampire out to establish their own families in other cities of the small country of Sesvia.
That's right, it's about establishing your own Vampire family, not letting them reproduce uncontrollably.
Norton could actually pick out some weaklings from among the eleven or twelve-year-olds of Mann Town, let Coal Ball feed on their blood, infect them into first -First-Generation Blood Clan, and then release them all to infect anyone at will.
However, he did not intend to do so; he wanted to transform the Blood Clan into a race with strict class divisions.
In short, only those who have already benefited will actively maintain the order that allows them to gain benefits! Only by creating a strict class system within the Blood Clan will all First-Generation Vampire and those who aspire to become First-Generation Vampire Vampire uphold Norton's rule.
Furthermore, the advancement methods of these New-Type Vampire are also related to their social class. Third-Generation Vampire cannot advance to the second generation simply by drinking more blood or living longer; instead, First-Generation Vampire must perform a second Embrace on Embrace. Similarly, Second-Generation Vampire can only advance to the first generation by being fed blood by Coal Ball and then vomiting it back to them. It seems that the fundamental reason for their advancement is the amount of mutated genes within them, rather than the amount of blood they drink.
This system of advancement undoubtedly facilitates the division and management of social classes.
If he were to rapidly increase the number of Vampire by mass-producing First-Generation Vampire, it would indeed have some initial use. However, the cost would be that the Vampire species would be reduced to a chaotic monster with a social hierarchy even lower than Werewolf. Vampire would be divided into different classes, poorly managed, and some perverts would engage in mass slaughter, leading to uncontrolled and rampant reproduction... until the entire world was turned into a cesspool by Vampire. Furthermore, the large-scale, uncontrolled Vampire would be so socially inept that they would disobey Norton's management, leaving Norton with no other means of control besides eliminating them... This scenario had already played out in Lino City.
Therefore, brainwashing methods and obedience control similar to those of Church are extremely necessary. A pseudo- Church is established to oppress Third-Generation Vampire, with First-Generation Vampire as the aristocracy and Second-Generation Vampire as the basic foundation of order.
Blood Clan Progenitor Norton, waved his hand and summoned 5300 Vampire and unconverted blood slaves from Mann Town Mann Town to work day and night on construction projects.
In just three months, a rather large temple was built, and the founder Norton named it: The Blood Red Church!
With the establishment of the Blood Red Church, Norton sent Coal Ball to take the blame.
As the true progenitor who created First-Generation Vampire, he was named the Blood Clan True Ancestor by Norton and enshrined in the Blood Red Church, thus attaining the title of Prince!
Coal Ball is now much larger than ordinary Vampire. In addition, as the true progenitor of Vampire, it has the ability to inflict true damage with its attacks. Therefore, it serves as a mascot to keep the Blood Red Church in check, and as the mother of reproduction, it has become the spiritual leader of all Vampire.
Why a spiritual leader? Because Norton was the actual leader.
The only remaining First-Generation Vampire, Abraham, was bestowed the title of Duke Abraham, thus achieving the position of Vampire duke.
To highlight his exalted status, Norton specifically granted him the position of Blood Red Church Inquisition.
Vampire need their own laws to ensure the rule of Lord Norton and the obedience and stability of their community, making the existence of the Inquisition particularly valuable.
Upon learning that he had become the Inquisition, a body capable of judging all Vampire, Abraham was nearly overwhelmed with excitement!
He, Abraham, loved power above all else!
The remaining Second-Generation Vampire, possessing the ability to reproduce and spread their lineage, were all granted the title of baron and allowed to establish their Vampire families, but were under the unified control of the Blood Red Church. All their actions had to comply with the Vampire laws established by Norton, and they were not allowed to disobey them without permission; otherwise, once discovered, they would be stripped of their immortal blood and subjected to the cruel punishment of eternal Hell.
Norton's purpose in establishing this so-called Blood Red Church was not to disgust the Church with its name, but rather he intended to genuinely learn the Church's management system in order to cultivate members who would be as devoted to the Church as missionaries and Church knights.
Therefore, after the Blood Red Church was established, Norton gathered all the young children there and, based on his own upbringing and methods that amounted to imprisonment, brainwashed them and forced them into physical obedience.
Damn it, this Hajinuo is truly a dragon-slaying hero who has become the dragon himself!
That's terrible!
With Norton establishing the Blood Red Church, the various systems within the Blood Clan gradually matured over time.
While the Second-Generation Vampire doesn't spread as rapidly as the First-Generation Vampire, their sheer numbers still make them a force to be reckoned with.
As the Blood Red Church's overall system matured, the emergence of external Vampire gradually stabilized.
The nobility of the entire Kingdom of Sesvia are unknowingly transforming into Vampire.
As the number of Vampire increased, Norton's sources of information finally reconnected with the Southern Continent.
(Sigh, if I write carefully, people will think it's a palace intrigue story; if I don't write carefully, people will think Norton is an idiot. It's so difficult!)
Norton's caution stems from the fact that he is not invincible; he simply has a higher level of existence than the First-Generation Vampire, and his performance is simply too exaggerated.
What he fears is that it's hard to guard against the underhanded tactics of First-Generation Vampire.
