Chapter 02: Homecoming (2)
In this world, the most powerful is magic. The top-level battles are all magical and decisive. There is nothing that cannot be solved by powerful enough magic. If so, it means that there is not enough people. Just add some people, the kind with powerful magic.
A powerful spellcaster requires huge amounts of knowledge and abundant magic. This takes time. Therefore, lifespan is strength, and lifespan will naturally lead to more food.
Those who occupy the top of the food chain are always immortal races. However, this does not mean that an immortal race must be powerful.
The same immortal race, the strength and weakness are very different.
For example, the worst immortal race - Slime. Yes, it is just a ball of mucus like paste. Didn't expect it? It is actually an immortal race. There is no way, it can achieve the purpose of immortality through natural division, and its magic perception talent is also careless. Unfortunately, it has no brains. So, with the expansion of human beings, Slime has been made into soap cakes, which have disappeared from the entire continent.
The most classic eternal races are angels and demons. One serves the Holy Spirit and the other serves the demon lord. These two races are well-known in nature, hostile to each other, have extremely strong magical perception, and are semi-magical creatures. The reason why they are widely known is that they are not only immortal, not only powerful, but also extremely aggressive. Simply put, they like to teach others how to live.
The completely different from them are the lichs, immortality, and home-based races. Because they cut off most of their desires, magic has become their core pursuit. Pure magical creatures, magic perception talent is overwhelming, and they do not need dormancy, and are born as academic masters. Normally, lichs of the same age are much stronger than angels or demons of the same age. After all, from the moment they exist, most of their energy is spent on improving themselves and rarely go out to meddle in other people's business.
Of course, there are also centralized races, such as the blood clan.
In addition to having to go out for some blood because of their nature, they like homeowners like lichs. However, there are differences between homeowners. Lichs are technical homeowners, while blood clans are abandoned homeowners.
How useless is it?
When the Lichs study magic day and night to climb the peak of magic, the blood clan is in love.
When the angels and demons were killed in a state of upside down, the blood clan was giving birth to children.
When the Black Dragon is accumulating wealth, the Vampire is studying which perfume is better.
When the Golden Dragon is building a space magic jump node, the blood clan is holding dance parties and partying. In addition, they are also keen on gossip and spreading various rumors.
Even the elves of the non-immortal race are tirelessly studying ancient magic, and the blood clan...well, the blood clan is comparing whose yard is larger. In their opinion, this question seems to be more important than magic.
In short, they focused on their lives. After a long time, as the immortal race, the blood clan could not keep up with the large army except for their age. After the extinction of the Slime on the Celtics continent, they successfully won the crown of the most aborted immortal race.
Well, this is actually a good thing. It is said that the blood clan once celebrated hard. After all, it is better to say that the "most aborted immortal race" is better than the "the immortal race that is stronger than the slimes". It is said that the blood clan also made great efforts when he destroyed the slimes.
Maybe this is the real reason for the extinction of Slime, after all, Slime soap is not easy to use.
Whenever someone calculates the distribution of various race forces on the Celtics continent, they will subconsciously ignore the blood clan. Because in most cases, they seem to not exist.
Jones's father Heyman Dragura is a standard blood clan. Well... in his own words, he is an elegant and noble blood clan.
Use a straw to suck blood, sprinkle rose petals when bathing, eat mint leaves when getting up, and spray perfume whenever you are alive.
Attend a song party on Monday, a poetry party on Tuesday, a chess and card party on Wednesday, an art gallery review on Thursday, a concert on Friday, a rest and sleep until you wake up naturally on Saturday, Sunday is a major program - a large dance party!
If a typhoon hits hail and is not suitable for going out one day, he will squeeze in a little time to study magic.
Are vampires afraid of typhoons and hail? Of course they are not afraid. The reason why he doesn't go out is because he thinks that going out on such days will damage the elegance of the nobles. Thankfully, he still has some time to study magic and will not be completely eliminated, otherwise Jones may not exist at all.
"My greatest expectation is that when you grow up, you can become a graceful and noble blood clan like your father!" Earl Dracula said this to Jones since he was very young.
Jones scoffed at this.
There will always be aliens in any race, isn't it?
For example, Gray in the Lich, Vivian in the Demon, Tenadas in the Bone Mary, and Jones in the Vampire.
This was the "man" who once wanted to conquer the world. Of course, his dream was later shattered when he was adopted by a lich.
...
After a brief greeting deepens the relationship between parents and children, the next time is supper time. Don’t ask me why it’s supper. The blood clan has no breakfast or lunch. They only have supper. Every meal is called supper.
However, Jones still needs to take a shower before supper.
"You are covered with the vulgarity of human beings, which is really bad. You must take a good bath and change your clothes." Countess Dracula said.
So Jones was sent to the bathroom, and Dora, who was a personal maid, was sent to the bathroom together.
Do you think it is because they are all "minors", so there is no taboo of "there is a difference between men and women"? You are wrong. The adult blood clan does the same, which is due to the corruption of the blood clan's lifestyle. As a superior blood clan, it would be very common to have an affair with several lower blood clans before marriage. If Jones was not too young, Countess Dracula would have wanted to hold her grandson as soon as possible. Although even Jones became an adult, the chance was quite low.
The blood clan can use its first embrace to awaken the blood-sucked humans with their own blood and turn them into blood clans. Such a "reproduction" speed is extremely terrible. It basically depends on the number of humans as "food ingredients". However, the strength of the blood clans produced in this way is very average. They are collectively called "lower blood clans". Moreover, according to the agreement between the blood clans, angels and demons, such "reproduction" has long been banned.
A blood clan with good bloodline, a famous blood clan, and is already a blood clan in her womb, is called the superior blood clan.
Jones is a superior blood clan. He has noble surnames and... a lot of blood clan relatives.
Of course, there is another third type, which is the blood clan in the gray area between the superior blood clan and the inferior blood clan. Although they also came to this world as the blood clan, some of their ancestors were lower blood clans. Such blood clans were slightly weaker than the serious superior blood clan in terms of strength and talent. They were generally listed as "lower blood clans" and would serve a certain family, serve as housekeepers, guards, or maids. For example, Dora is.
However, in general, the chance of pregnancy is very low for both the superior and the lower-level blood clans. Jones' parents are very loving. After more than a thousand years of marriage, they have only given birth to such a cub. Compared with other blood clans, this is still fast. After all, some blood clan couples are still not as tired after more than three thousand years of marriage.
By the way, every immortal race has its own magic that it is particularly good at. Although the blood clan is known as the most aborted immortal race, there are also some. The magic they are best at is...well, it is the kind that is used when there are only two people in the room and on the bed, which makes people happy. They have also developed a whole series. You know.
In order to avoid being 404, I won't say it specifically.
...
Jones sighed a long sigh as he was rubbing his back by Dora, his eyes stagnated.
The bathroom of Dracula's house is quite luxurious.
There is more than 100 square meters of spacious space, and the large half-moon-shaped bathhouse. All of them, including the walls, are made of pure stone. The roughness also has a sense of design. There are six lifelike gargoyles sculptures standing around the bathhouse. Each gargoyle holds a stone jar in his hand. The hot springs that are brought from the stone jar are pouring out and pouring into the bathhouse, which lasts all year round. The overflowing water is automatically discharged from the surrounding drains and flows into the ditch of the castle.
Under the dim red firelight, the whole bathroom was steaming hot, and it was a unique style.
"Are you unhappy when you get home?" Dora asked quietly while busy.
"Are you happy?" Jones rolled her.
"Of course I'm very happy. I haven't seen my parents for a long time. Dora has to have dinner with them later." Dora replied happily.
"That's because your parents are normal, my parents are not normal." Jones sighed and continued, "Sometimes I think you are their biological child."
"The master and the wife are indeed very good to Dora."
"No, I mean they're as stupid as you."
With aggrieved look, Dora blinked her eyes and looked carefully at Jones's back: "Is Lord Jones still angry with Dora?"
"I don't know if I'm still angry with you." Jones held his forehead helplessly: "At the beginning, I was staying with you, almost every day, I felt like I was going to be furious. At first I thought that over time, you would slowly improve. Unexpectedly, after a long time, I got used to it. I wasn't angry to death."
Dora's head was buried lower and her hands stopped.
"Continue rubbing, that's all you use."
"Yes! Lord Jones!"
Dora quickly rubbed her back seriously and worked very hard.
"What I worry about now is tomorrow... tomorrow will definitely be a bad day." Jones spread his hands and said to himself: "I actually wrote to tell all relatives... all relatives will come, and then everyone will watch me for Sunday. Oh my God, I can imagine their faces. Maybe they will ask me how conquered the world is. How should I answer? Tell them that I have been a son for five years? I shouldn't come back."
"Maybe things aren't that bad? Lord Jones." Dora whispered: "No one wants to see you laugh at."
"Shut up, this is entirely caused by your leak."
"oh……"
After a while, Jones finally finished taking a shower and put on a black and gold-embedded dress. Dora also changed into a maid's long dress.
"You go back first. Didn't you say you wanted to have dinner with your parents?"
"It's okay, I'll wait until Lord Jones finishes his meal before going back."
"No, you can go back now."
"Don't Lord Jones need Dora?"
"You are not the only maid at home, so go back first."
"But they don't know what Lord Jones likes."
"Don't you understand if I asked you to go back first?"
Jones gave Dora a blank look and left angrily. Dora stood alone, looking aggrieved.
The so-called "going back" is actually just going down two levels. After all, Dora's parents were also servants of the Dracula family, and they lived in the castle.
...
"This fool said he missed his parents and asked her to go and eat with her parents first. Is I lame or what? Do you have to be by your side to have a good meal? Still like it? I'm so full of anger."
The corridor of Dracula's castle is no different from that of ordinary castle corridors. The ground is covered with red carpets, and the walls on both sides are neat stone tiles, with a distance between them, and a painting or two hangs.
If you insist on saying there is any difference, it will probably be darker and more dilapidated.
The dimness is because the vampire itself has excellent night vision and does not have much demand for light. The dilapidation is because the castle is old and is said to have a history of three thousand years. Although it has been rested many times during this period, after all... the human lord can have hundreds or thousands of servants, and the blood clan lord has dozens of them. The result of excessive pursuit of the castle is that many places are not well maintained. In addition to the space for daily activities, there are many places full of dust and spider webs. Some basements have not even been in one or two hundred years, and there are anything piled up in it. Count Dracula himself forgot.
From afar, Jones raised his hand and the door to the living room in the distance opened automatically.
The room illuminated by candlelight. What I saw on the front was an oval long table with three three-pointed candlesticks on the table and various pastries made from blood as raw materials. It has to be said that the blood clan has quite a lot of tricks, and they can make countless dishes with the same ingredient.
From a certain perspective, their talent is very high, but they are completely wrong.
But this is not the point, the point is the person sitting at the table. In addition to the Countess Dracula, there are two others. One is a vampire woman wearing luxurious clothes, blonde hair, and a small fan. The other is a vampire girl who looks similar to Jones and wears an orange and yellow dress. She is also blonde, with pale skin, delicate face, and bright blue eyes.
Standing at the gate, Jones was stunned.
Countess Dracula stood up and said softly, "Come in quickly. Aunt Sarah is particularly concerned about you. She would have only been here tomorrow. I heard that you were here tonight, so I rushed over. Of course, your fiancée has also come."
When he said the three words "fiancee", the countess's eyes turned to the little girl of the blood clan sitting opposite her.
"Wait." Jones was shocked and asked quickly, "When did Susan's cousin become my fiancée?"
