As she said that, Ariel stretched out her fingers and swept across the surrounding vampires who were all staring at this side. When her fingertips swept over Mochi and her mother, Ariel's fingers paused for a moment. This pause made that

The vampire named Mochi bared his teeth, as if he was going to take a bite.

"In other words, does anyone in your village have the confidence to challenge the giant ghost village chief? Can you do it?"

Speaking of such a realistic issue, the face of Shijiu Village Chief turned gloomy again.

Seeing his helpless look, Ariel smiled and continued: "If I say that I can find a way to solve this problem...then can you guarantee that at least you will not eat us?

?”

Shizuo snorted and said: "This problem is originally caused by you humans. If you can solve those problems, you will also save you humans. Okay, I promise not to eat you, and I will let my villagers not touch you."

.”

Ariel smiled and nodded, but then she paused for a moment, and then said with a slightly puzzled expression on her face: "I think... you may not understand what I mean. What I mean is, completely solve this problem.

This is the problem. And this problem is the problem that you need to sacrifice the female vampire named Mochi."

At that moment, Ariel clearly felt that the village chief's eyes had changed.

He half-opened his mouth, even showing the fangs at the corners of his mouth, and stared directly at Ariel's sky-blue eyes, as if looking at something incomprehensible, speechless.

Already.

Perhaps there was a change in the mood here, which made the mother vampire over there prick up her ears and come over quickly.

She must have heard the human woman just say her daughter's name. Coupled with the strange look on Shi Leg's face, the mother couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly came over to ask.

Under a series of questions in the blood clan language, Shijiu still maintained the surprised expression and did not answer. However, the cheese next to him quickly translated what Ariel just said to the mother.

After understanding what Ariel meant, the mother vampire immediately opened her arms and pounced on Ariel! Such a move made Ji Lian, who was always vigilant next to him, suddenly activate! The hidden sword on his arm popped out, and the whole person turned over.

Pressed on the mother's vampire back, the hidden sword pressed against her back!

"Woo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."

However, the mother vampire showed no intention of resisting after being suppressed. She opened her blood-red eyes wide, opened her mouth, and kept saying some unintelligible words to Ariel. However,

Judging from the expression on her face, the look of eagerness and pleading was well conveyed to Ariel.

"She said that as long as her daughter Mochi's life could be saved and her blood would not be taken away from her, she was willing to become a sacrifice in this festival. In fact, the sacrifice this time should have been her, and she was

I have been practicing this dance for more than two years, just waiting for the moment to be sacrificed."

After listening to Cheese's translation, Ariel nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand to remove the pressure on her back, then stretched out her hand, grabbed the cold and dry hand of the mother vampire, and slowly pulled her away.

Helped him up.

Although there is a language barrier, Ariel always believes that the smile is always the same. Even if they cannot understand each other's language, their facial expressions and their desire to put themselves in others' shoes can definitely be passed on.

Cream and Suta were on guard on both sides, fearing that the mother vampire would suddenly become furious. But fortunately, she really didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

After being helped up, she kept nodding towards Ariel, with an expression on her face that was really full of anticipation and nervousness. Then she reached out to Mochi, who was looking at her with wide eyes, and pulled her daughter towards her.

Holding each other in their arms, they looked at Ariel together.

"Then the bull has been blown."

Ariel turned around and continued to sit opposite the head of Stoneleg Village——

"Should we give some more detailed information? For example, what is your so-called sacrifice? Who is the sacrifice to? Please tell me all this information. Only

Only after everything was known could I come to terms with the exact solution."

Afterwards, Ariel stretched out her finger and tapped the Mochi mother and daughter next to her, and said to the Shizuo village chief with a smile: "I believe that as the village chief, you won't want to disappoint your villagers."

Shizui was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked around.

I don't know when, all the vampires who were busy around started to gather together and squatted beside this small platform, as if they wanted to listen to what weird and terrifying method this human had come up with.

Seeing so many people gathered around him, Shijiu Village Chief finally exhaled helplessly and nodded——

"You ask. As long as I know, I will tell you everything."

Negotiation successful!

Ariel really wants to give herself two medals!

But it's too early to be happy now. After all, this is just the first step, and there is still a long way to go before all the problems are solved.

"So... let's start with what a Yun Matsuri is. What kind of festival is this?"

The head of Shizuo Village nodded again, and after sorting out his thoughts, he began to speak slowly——

"The sacrifice is a kind of respect that we, the Night Clan, have for our creator."

"It is said that thousands of years ago, before the war between humans and demons, in a more distant past, there was a red dragon named Chi Fei in this world."

"This red dragon has red scales that look like blood, and is covered in armor that is as beautiful as emerald."

"The red dragon Chi Fei stood on the front line against the demons in the war a thousand years ago. In the end, he successfully defeated the demons together with other races on this continent and saved the world.

Not to be destroyed."

"However, in this war, Chi Fei was also seriously injured, and his blood flowed out and soaked the land."

"In order to prevent his blood from flowing away in vain, Chi Fei used magic to shape us, the Night Clan, in the image of the humans and elves who participated in that war. Then, he used the blood that flowed out to shape us. This

This is the origin story of our Night Clan."

"Since then, Chi Fei has become the guardian dragon of our Night Clan. It protects us and prevents us from disasters. And in order to thank the dragon who created us, we also decided to commemorate the day it created us.

It is designated as the most important festival. At this festival, we need to sing and dance to celebrate (harmony) that the red dragon has given us life. Because for the red dragon, it sacrificed its blood to create us, we, the night clan, can

It’s said to be a complete harvest, so we call this festival the Festival.”

Ariel nodded slightly and glanced around. She saw that when Cheese was translating, the vampires around her were also listening with gusto. So... they themselves didn't know the origin of this festival.

?

Ariel: "So what about the girl sacrifice? Is that what your Creator requires of you?"

Shizui exhaled and continued: "Sacrifice is a tradition. After creating us, Chi Fei was too tired and lost too much strength. Therefore, it fell into a long sleep.

"

"In order to repay our Creator, we have decided to sacrifice to our Creator once every ten years. Before the war with you humans, the items we sacrifice can be the leftover pigs, cattle and sheep that we eat in daily life. Although

We can’t eat the flesh of these things, but Chi Fei can.”

"But after that... war with you, we had to hide in this barren area. We no longer have any power to hunt large prey."

"So the giant ghost village chief of Blood Fang Village suggested that our five villages take turns to choose one member to sacrifice. On the one hand, it is to maintain our unbroken tradition, and on the other hand, it is also to pray that Chi Fei will know where we are now.

environment, please let it wake up again and save us."

"However, pure sacrifice is really too wasteful. The giant ghost village chief also said that Chi Fei is our creator, and it spent a lot of blood to create us. How can we pray for such a short number of sacrifices?

Can our Creator be revived by sacrifice? So we still have to rely on ourselves to fight back into the human world and regain our territory."

"Therefore, he asked us to take each other's blood every time we sacrificed, and then let the strongest person in the entire Night Clan take it to increase his strength. In this way, even if Chi Fei still doesn't wake up one day in the future

Help us, and we can use our own strength to break out of the Moon God's residence and regain the territory that belongs to us, the Night Clan."

The faces of Cream, Duck and Suta on both sides all twitched, and Ariel knew what they were thinking without having to guess.

But this issue is not important now. If these vampires really want to challenge humans again, just because of their natural state of being unable to move during the day and their poor logistics supplies, I believe these vampires can only lose again.

Once. And if they really lose again, then humans will definitely not just drive them to a place where birds don’t poop and call it an end.

"So now, I finally understand what your festival is all about. But I have a little doubt. Excuse me... you just said that this festival is held every ten years. That was in the demon clan
