Chapter 112 Please make sure you bring your valuables as a token of gratitude.
Unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar group.
Because of the pile of garlic on his body, the Vampire King showed no signs of coming out, but Lan Bao felt uncomfortable from the stench.
"Your Majesty."
From a distance, a vampire knelt down and bowed to him.
Before his eyes could adjust to the darkness, Lan Bao stepped forward to try and see clearly, but it seemed as if there was a greater distance between them than it appeared. No matter where he walked, the vampire remained in the distance.
Finally, Lanbao saw it clearly.
It wasn't that they were too far apart at the beginning, but rather that with each step he took forward, the vampire, who seemed to respect him immensely, would maintain his posture and slide backward on one knee.
The vampire's movements were too fast for him to see clearly.
"you are?"
“I am your most loyal servant, Sosia,” the vampire, who called himself his servant, introduced himself with dramatic intonation. “Please allow me to take you to your dwelling.”
Count Sosia, keeping his distance along the way, told him a lot about the current state of the vampires and the feats of the previous vampire kings.
Lan Bao had a vague feeling that Sosia knew something, but the other party didn't ask anything. Apart from answering some questions that vampires might consider common sense, he expressed his loyalty.
And speaking ill of Gulak, both openly and secretly.
The faint light from the candles illuminated their path, much like a scene from a horror movie that Ginny had dragged him to see. Lambo had a feeling that a vampire might suddenly appear from some corner and drain his blood at any moment.
Fortunately, he himself is now a vampire.
His residence was very large, with rooms within rooms of an unprecedented size, and inside was a luxurious coffin.
Suppressing all the surprised exclamations from the unsuspecting onlookers, Lan Bao was about to ask Sosia to leave when the other party knelt down again:
"My esteemed king, please forgive your most loyal servant for failing to receive news of your return in time and for not being able to prepare a fine coffin for you in time."
Isn't this good enough?
Looking at the coffin, it was indeed quite magnificent, but the thought of lying inside it made Lan Bao feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Your Excellency, please allow your servants to remove this coffin."
"Let's move it." Actually, he wanted to say that we shouldn't put the coffin in at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Count Sosia withdrew.
A short while later, many vampires came up and moved the coffin away. In its place, instead of another, more luxurious coffin, was an enormous bed that almost filled the entire room.
Count Sosia explained, "Your Majesty, time is short, and I can only trouble you for now."
The bedside table was filled with tempting tomatoes and various utensils that were probably used to eat tomatoes. During this time, a vampire fainted and realized that the culprit was probably the garlic on his body. Lan Bao stood apologetically in the corner.
The vampires gradually withdrew, and he was finally left alone.
Sitting on the incredibly soft bed, with the string of garlic around her neck on the headboard, the tension and fear lessened slightly as she was alone, replaced by longing for everyone at Moe Academy.
I wish I could see everyone...
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Ms. Victoria, did you really correct it? Why is it all dark after you finished correcting it? You can't even see anything in the photo."
"Rui Bu Si?!"
He stood up excitedly, but unfortunately, none of his familiar companions were around; he was all alone.
Oh, right, a mirror!
Excitedly, he took the mirror out of his pocket, and what he saw in the mirror were his familiar teachers and classmates.
“Teacher Victoria, Rui Bu Si, and Mi Ya Xing!”
That's great, he thought he would never see them again.
With a lot to say, the three figures reflected in the small mirror suddenly dwindled to just Rui Bu Si's face. She squinted, looking quite imposing.
"Move your face away a little, Sapphire, what's behind you?"
Obeying orders, Lan Bao looked behind him and said, "That's the food Count Sosia prepared for me."
"Not that pile of tomatoes, but the one next to the tomato."
"The area around..." There's nothing there, right? "The cutlery?"
I walked over and picked up those strange tableware pieces, including plates, forks, and spoons—the kind of oddly shaped forks and spoons whose purpose I couldn't quite figure out.
"Quick, feel it!"
What do you feel?
I picked up a plate and looked at it from both sides; it seemed a little different from the ones I usually use.
At this moment, Victoria's extensive knowledge played an important role: "I have heard that the tableware used by vampire nobles is all made of silver, which signifies their status."
Silverware?!
"Wouldn't we get a lot of gold coins if we sold it?!"
Lanbao saw eyes brighter than light bulbs on the other side of the mirror, and heard Victoria's affirmative voice with a clear smile.
“Great teacher Victoria, you must have a way to add a transmission function to this mirror, right?”
Upon hearing this question, Lan Bao carefully put down the valuable tableware in her hands, feeling a sense of anticipation.
However, all that was heard was Victoria's denial: "I'm sorry, my abilities are limited, and I cannot use it to teleport items."
The mirror was nowhere to be seen, so he couldn't see anything or hear anything, but Lan Bao felt that Rui Bu Si was even more disappointed than he was.
He quickly reassured her, "It's alright, it's alright. If you have the chance to return to Meng Academy in the future, I can exchange all the valuables for gold coins and bring them to you."
The person opposite seemed to be in a better mood because of the gold coins they hadn't even touched yet. Just as the image was about to appear in the mirror, it shook twice, and Lan Bao saw another person who hadn't said much.
"You've been talking for so long and haven't gotten to the point yet. Let me do it."
"What's the key point?" Miya Xing stared blankly at himself in the mirror, while the other person gave him a thumbs-up.
Then, he solemnly announced: "After many days of effort and searching through a large number of books in the library, I finally found it..."
"What are you bragging about? It was the Elder who asked Principal Kendrick, and then the Elder found a solution!" Although she couldn't get her mirror back, Rui Bu Si was perfectly capable of exposing someone's show-off act.
"I hadn't even gotten to that part when you interrupted me." The person who was exposed didn't even show the slightest embarrassment. "Anyway, Blue Sapphire, we've found a way to separate the Vampire King's consciousness from your body!"
"Hey, why isn't there any reaction from the other side?" He imagined Lan Bao would be overjoyed and crying tears of gratitude. "Could the mirror be broken...?"
"No, no," the dim candlelight concealed the tears welling in his eyes, "I just... don't know how to thank you."
"We're all good friends who've fought side by side, what's there to be upset about..."
Seeing that Lan Bao was about to burst into tears to express his gratitude, Mi Yaxing felt a little embarrassed.
However, he did not have the chance to finish his sentence.
Rui Bu Si interrupted him:
"Please be sure to bring your vampire clan's wealth to express your gratitude!"
"Don't listen to her! This person is always causing trouble when I'm researching, or interrupting Professor Victoria's train of thought time and time again. She's always helping..."
His mouth was covered from behind, and Mi Yaxing staggered a couple of times before grabbing the table to steady himself. When he finally got a chance to speak, he pointed at Rui Busi: "Hey, see? Not only do you interfere with others, but you also prevent them from speaking."
Tears streamed down his cheeks into the darkness, and Lan Bao grinned, revealing his sharp canine teeth: "I'll try to bring as many gold coins as possible."
Rui Bu Si was satisfied: "Listen to this, now that's what a good friend is."
“However, this method is a bit dangerous and time-consuming, requiring a lot of preparation.” Recalling the information given by the Grand Elder, Rui Bu Si’s facial expression twisted for a moment.
Her old friend has become a great elder, and more than two hundred years later, she is still reading this tattered book in a familiar place.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid no matter how dangerous it is."
“It’s not only a bit dangerous, but even if you succeed, what leaves your body is only the consciousness of the Vampire King.” Miya Xing finished Rui Bu Si’s sentence, pursed her lips, and said with some regret, “Lan Bao, you may not be able to come back to study in the future.”
Even if they trust Lanbao, the Elders' Council and Meng Academy would never allow someone with such great power, who could cause widespread panic among the students, to return to study here.
Even if Moe Academy agreed, the vampires would probably find it hard to accept.
"It's okay, this result is already very good." He now has many things he had always longed for.
That's enough for him; he won't be greedy for more.
The surroundings were still dim, with flickering candlelight casting leaping shadows on the wall. He had previously found it terrifying, but now he suddenly realized that the patterns carved on the candle were quite beautiful.
“By the way,” Rui Bu Si’s voice came from the mirror again. He quickly looked over and saw that she looked like she was gritting her teeth, as if she had thought of something. “I’ll tell Genny about this on your birthday.”
"I went to visit him in the infirmary out of kindness, but he gave me a hard time and seemed very impatient!"
So at Lambo's birthday party, Genny discovered that he was the last person to know the news.
