(Sorry, what I wrote yesterday was a bit ambiguous. There were many questions about Norton's fabricated Blood Clan and Abraham using death row inmates to expose weaknesses. I apologize, the author's IQ isn't very high, and I did forget the basics a bit. Now that I think about it carefully, it does have a problem. Just as everyone said, if it were left unchecked, it would spread on its own. I'm very sorry for causing everyone a bad viewing experience. However, it's hard to change now. But this part doesn't have much connection and won't affect everyone's experience too much. Please forgive me this time, I'll give you a chance, please (｡><｡))
The monastery was so quiet that almost no sound could be heard.
After completing their daily penance, all Vampire can only return to their respective rooms to rest. Although wealthy Vampire are allowed to keep their own properties, these properties are not for them to live in, but for their families.
They can only be confined within Church Church, like ascetic priests, spending decades there, their thoughts and desires being worn down.
For Church staff, this way of life was already familiar and posed no problem whatsoever.
But for the various privileged individuals who were forcibly confined here, this ascetic life within the Church was nothing compared to their previous comfortable lives! Forget about freedom; the mere absence of women was enough to make them scratch their heads and wish they could die on the spot.
In other words, they had to endure Norton's Pressure every day during their daily repentance, which made them increasingly fearful of Norton. Otherwise, this group might have directly rebelled against the progenitor Norton.
The departure of the Church Vampire finally allowed Norton to shed his cold-blooded facade.
"Glug..." Norton downed the blood in his glass in one gulp, then let out a long, satisfied sigh.
"Ah!"
As time went on, whether it was due to an increasing need for energy or because he was moving closer to becoming a true Vampire, the taste of blood became more delicious to Norton, far better than when he first drank it.
Norton felt it was the latter, since the so-called advancement of Vampire seemed more like a process of gradually evolving from a corpse into a true Vampire.
He's gradually becoming a real Vampire, so his blood will naturally taste better.
After drinking the blood, Norton fell into deep thought again.
The Holy See is aware of the life and death of Holy Knight, a claim it received from Abraham.
So Norton absorbed the power of two Holy Knight, which was great, but the problems that followed would become very difficult to handle.
Once the Church learns of the Holy Knight's death, they will surely send someone to demand an explanation. Whether they kill the messenger sent by the Church or turn him into Vampire as well, the Church will definitely believe that there is something wrong with Lino City.
Norton didn't care whether the Church knew about the Vampire in Lino City or not. After all, he, Norton, wasn't a bound spirit. If the Church sent troops to attack, he, Norton, would just run away. Things were different now. He, Norton, possessed Pressure, which was enough for him to live very comfortably in the wild.
Therefore, Norton was not worried about the Church knowing all this; he just felt that he might need to change the way the New-Type Vampire was being spread.
Once the Church learns that something is wrong in Lino City, it will definitely send people over to investigate continuously, and the problem of Church members turning into Vampire will not be able to be hidden.
Since he couldn't hide it anymore, he simply stopped hiding it.
If the breeding and reproduction of the New-Type Vampire were directly liberalized, allowing them to develop their own retinues, then in order to make their power strong enough to face the Church's encirclement and suppression, these Vampire would definitely vigorously develop their own retinues.
In this process, the concept of New-Type Vampire will naturally spread.
This does not contradict his original purpose; the only drawback is that the Church and power in Lino City may soon have to be completely abandoned.
"Sigh, it was better when I was a beggar, no worries at all!" Norton felt he was really making trouble for himself.
With so many New-Type Vampire, will it lead to a lack of food for him?
There's absolutely no need to worry about that. If you were Vampire, would you create more Vampire for no reason?
Absolutely impossible. Being Vampire is all about uniqueness and a sense of superiority. If you're Vampire, I'm Vampire, and he's Vampire, how can I gain that sense of Vampire?
If Vampire are everywhere, how can one gain a high status through their own Vampire strength?
Humans are inherently selfish, and when selfishness reaches its extreme, human nature ensures that the Vampire pie won't be excessively shared.
However, Norton felt that this was far from enough. He wanted to develop both the first and second plans, so he decided to pursue both simultaneously!
The Vampire in Lino City are strictly controlled, while Vampire Lino City can develop freely. This makes it difficult for the Pope to mobilize a large force to attack Lino City in a short period of time for the sake of stability in various regions. Norton can also continue to be the emperor of Lino City during this period to develop his Blood Empire and see if there is an opportunity to use these New-Type Vampire to counter the Church!
As for those who died in this Vampire rampage?
"Living in such a dark world is more painful than Hell; death is a relief for them. Besides, Heaven and Hell exist in this world. These people die in reality, but they can still enjoy happiness in Heaven! I'm practically doing a good deed!"
Norton felt incredibly kind, actually considering the lives of people around the world.
Norton truly possesses excellent moral character!
In comparison, Norton was indeed right; although his humanity and morality were gradually declining, he was still far superior to everyone else in the Church.
No, not just in the Church, but in the world at large, there are probably very few people whose humanity and morality surpass Norton's.
Because before Norton does evil, he at least thinks of the poor people who are indirectly persecuted by him. Other powerful people or the poor themselves, let alone thinking about others, would be considered extremely kind if they didn't stab others in the back when there is something to gain.
Currently, only the young and naive Karl, and Archbishop Duoxia, who has seen the darkness but still cherishes ideals, can rival Norton in their thinking.
Unfortunately, both of them are now with the Holy See.
