Bloody and seductive: Notes of a Vampire

The living area of ​​Blood Slaves is located on the east side of Black Castle. It looks like the human town has been moved to the Twilight City. The narrow and clean streets, all kinds of shops, and old and unique houses are relatively deserted. .There were plainly dressed human men and women walking in twos and threes on the street. Since they hadn't seen the sun all year round, their complexion was obviously pale, but their bodies looked solid.

When Peventis and I walked up the street side by side, the passers-by bowed respectfully and stepped aside.

"Are all the humans here willing to be blood slaves?" I asked Peventis in a low voice.

"Most of their ancestors used to be residents of slums. After they came to Mucheng to take root, they lived here from generation to generation and multiplied their offspring. At present, the number of blood slaves in Mucheng is controlled at about 5000. In order to ensure the quality of blood, we will also Recruit new blood slaves from the outside world from time to time."

I nodded knowingly.The expressions on the faces of these humans looked innocent and calm, without the philistine and impetuous spirit common to ordinary citizens.It is the simple and peaceful life in Mucheng that gave them such temperament.

"...Each blood slave has its own schedule, and usually collects fresh blood every 25-30 days. The shops and clinics here are all open for free. Except for regular blood supply, the life of blood slaves is no different from that of ordinary humans." Pei Wentis continued to explain in a calm tone.

Contrary to what I originally thought, the blood slaves here are not enslaved like livestock, tragically relying on selling blood to survive.I finally understand why they are willing to donate their precious blood in exchange for such a life.Compared to struggling to death in the slums for daily food and clothing, and surviving under the discrimination and oppression of the same kind, this place is almost like the Garden of Eden.

I couldn't help but look up at Peventis again.I still remember that when he didn't go to save the blood clan captured by the Holy Silver Cross, he once said with a cold expression that the survival of the fittest is the law of the blood clan, and the blood clan who are unable to protect themselves will sooner or later be killed by hunters or similar people.What I saw today changed my opinion of him.

"...Jamie, why don't you just sit there in a daze all the time? Come and help me!" An old voice suddenly came from the two-storey residential building in front right.

"I've said it many times. I don't know how to do it, and I'm not interested in learning it. Just stop talking nonsense." It was a sweet but indifferent teenager's voice that answered him.

"You child! I really don't understand. Why did you become so weird when you were sick? Where did that diligent and obedient Jamie go? He doesn't look like you at all..."

The conversation between the old and the young aroused my curiosity.As I approached the door, I couldn't help but glance into the open brown wooden door.Sitting on the low stool directly opposite the door was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with fair skin, slender hands and feet, and a very pretty boy.His delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, with a look of displeasure.

He was about the same age as the real me, and it was a period when he was a little rebellious and disobedient.From him, I seem to see the shadow of my past.

What happened next was somewhat unexpected.The boy raised his head and met my gaze, and a strange light suddenly flashed in his blue eyes.In an instant, he jumped up from the stool and rushed to the door, staring at me.I noticed that his fingers on the door frame were turning blue from too much force, and his slightly pale lips were trembling slightly.

Staring at him in surprise, Peventis and I walked past the house.Already far away, I couldn't help but look back, he was still staring at me with one leg straddled outside the door, until he was pulled in.

His reaction made me a little strange, and at the same time, an indescribable strange feeling quietly sprouted from the bottom of my heart.

This boy...does he recognize me?

Why do I have a feeling of déjà vu towards him...

Retino came back an hour after we got back to Castle Black.

I'm running around the room in my walking boots for training, because I'm thinking about what Peventis said, my potential has not been fully stimulated.The door was pushed open by Retino, his brown eyes glowed excitedly: "Richard, I passed the test!"

I flew over in an instant, and gave him two punches on the shoulder with a smile: "Congratulations, as expected. By the way, how did Yeluo test you?"

Retino's expression seemed a little strange, and he smiled for a while: "He has tested some combat skills, and even tried a few tricks with me, which is easier than imagined."

But I stared at him suspiciously: "If it's really that simple, why do I obviously see... your blushing abnormally?"

Retino straightened his expression, and scratched his head helplessly: "Of course, he also tested me, whether I can withstand the temptation of beauty."

Beauty temptation...

What came to my mind was the first time I saw Yeluo in the hot spring, and I was shocked.Speaking of the ability to charm people, there is really no one who can match Yeluo.

I couldn't help laughing out loud: "Well, I can imagine it. It's not easy to resist his temptation, is it?"

Retino didn't answer my question directly, but changed the subject: "Richard, Yeluo is also a descendant of Peventis, do you know about this?"

I froze for a moment, a little surprised.

"Yeluo said it personally today." Retino stared at me solemnly, with a deep voice, "...Richard, don't let us down. Otherwise, not only him, but even I will not forgive you. "

"Ah?" My head didn't turn around for a moment, what did he mean by that? !

"Okay, I'm going to rest. I'm really tired today, bye!" Retino smiled again, patted my shoulder, turned and left.

I stood at the door for a long time in a daze.When did Retino unite with Yeluo?Did Yeluo tell him anything else?

The things I experienced during the day made me unable to calm down, and I always felt that my mind was... very messy.

When it was dinner time, Ray still didn't come back.I didn't want to step out of the room either, so I asked Keel to bring dinner to my room.

The door was knocked quickly, and Keel's polite voice came: "Mr. Richard, the dinner is here."

"Please come in." I leaned lazily on the sofa, teasing little Robin with my hands.Just fed it with my blood, and the contented cuteness of the little thing finally made me feel better.

The door swung open.When I raised my eyes, I was stunned. The person standing at the door with a tray and a brand new black uniform was... the blood slave boy I saw in the East District this afternoon!

"This is Jamie, the new trainee servant in the castle today. If you need anything, please tell him. Why are you still standing there, go in. Be quick with your hands and feet, don't dawdle." Keel, who was standing behind him, said to him. I explained, urging the boy in a deep voice.

Jamie came in and set the silver tray on the table in front of me, keeping his head down in an air of humility the whole time.However, from his blue eyes covered by thick eyelashes, there was faint arrogance and unconcealable hostility.

How could a blood slave boy have such disproportionate eyes?The doubts in my heart became heavier, and when he approached me, the strange feeling of déjà vu became stronger.

When he turned around and wanted to leave, I stopped him: "Slow down. Keir, I have something to tell Jamie, you go first, let him stay for a while."

Kyle bowed slightly and closed the door from the outside.

It was just the two of us in the room, and Robin, who was staring at us curiously with golden eyes.

"You, do you know me?" I asked.Jamie still looked down at me sideways, unable to see his expression at the moment.

"Shameless... thief."

I was startled to hear the words he squeezed through his teeth.

He finally turned to me, raised his head, and his beautiful eyes were burning with anger: "Give me back my body, shameless thief!!"

I stood up, too shocked to speak, and Robin flapped his wings in shock.

After a while, I finally made a sound: "...you are..."

"I'm not some Jamie, just like you are not Richard! I don't care who you are, or what your purpose is, return your body to me immediately!!!"

My God, beneath the appearance of this slender boy, is actually the real Richard? von?; Earl Hamilton!
