“Eh! Your subordinate pays his respects to you, Count Toby.” Lucius turned around and recognized the young man in formal attire, even though the other party was younger than him.
However, the other party’s strength was not something his own strength could compare to. Unlike Duke Mu En, whom he had offended for nothing, Toby Giovanni’s identity as a count was obtained by relying on his own strength.
“There’s no need to be so formal. What do you think about what the nobles have just said?” Toby asked with a smile.
“I don’t know what you mean, Count,” Lucius said and bowed.
Toby did not care about Lucius’s act of playing dumb and continued to say, “Are you thinking that the throne intends to liquidate every person who violated the commandments?”
“Are you thinking of apologizing to Duke Mu En?”
Lucius was shocked and could not say a word.
“But don’t forget, do you think that what you have done can be offset by just apologizing? Moreover, do you think that the nobles will care about small characters like you and me? You even want to punish us one by one. Do you think too highly of yourself or do you look down on the throne?”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.” Lucius quickly shook his head. No matter how brave he was, he did not dare to say these words. “Then Count, you mean… it’s nothing?”
“No! No! No! I did not say that.” Toby waved his hand and said, “I only said that as long as the matter is not brought to the surface, then there will be no problem. But if someone were to bring it to the surface, then it would be hard to say.”
“What do you mean?”Lucius was slightly confused.
“After all, no matter what, Mu En Giovanni is still a duke. As long as his identity is still there, then his words still carry some weight.”
“Then what should I do? Or should I go apologize and beg for his forgiveness?” Lucius panicked.
“As long as he never speaks.”
“You mean… kill him?” Lucius made a hand gesture to slit his throat. Even if he was a vampire, Lucius was shocked by this proposal and broke out in a cold sweat. He could not even speak clearly.
“But, to kill… to kill one of your own kind, and… still… a duke, that… is a serious violation of the commandments.”
Toby was very satisfied with Lucius’s current performance. He chuckled and said, “Don’t forget, you’ve broken a lot of commandments. Don’t forget what you’ve done. Don’t worry, whether it’s a duke or a count, as long as he’s dead, it’s meaningless.”
“Dead people don’t know how to speak, and no one would trouble the throne for the sake of dead people. Remember, dead people are meaningless.”
Looking at Toby Giovanni’s departing figure, Lucius’s expression was uncertain. Gradually, it became ruthless.
“Either give up or see it through. The commandments I’ve broken should earn me death sentences a thousand times over. This isn’t bad either. Besides, that’s a duke. Haha, a duke. Killing a duke is simply… too exciting.”
Lucius’s nervous laughter could be heard faintly in the air.
On the other hand, Mu En did not know that someone had already set their eyes on him. They were going to use him to test the meaning of the throne’s words.
At this moment, he was actively practicing the Bloodline Atavism Secret Technique in his room. According to the secret technique, every blood breed’s blood contained the ancestor’s inheritance fragments. If he could activate all the ancestor’s inheritance fragments, then he would obtain the ancestor’s power.
Although his strength was relatively weak, he was after all a duke. No matter how thin his bloodline was, it contained more inheritance fragments than the average count viscount.
Now he was sitting cross-legged on the bed. As a cold-blooded creature, his blood and body temperature were abnormally low. However, at this moment, the blood in his body was like boiling lava.
It was surging and boiling, surging to all parts of his body. Even though his body temperature was rising rapidly, his skin was still atrophied as if he was dehydrated. His handsome face was now only covered by a thin layer of dry skin.
Like a mummy, he opened his mouth and exhaled a mouthful of hot air.
Right now, he felt as if he was in a hot furnace. No, his body was now like a hot furnace.
Then, a huge burst of life energy burst out from Mu En’s body. It followed his blood vessels and quickly traveled through his entire body. His entire body was once again filled with vitality.
“This feeling is amazing,” Mu En sighed as he looked at his arms, which were even fairer and stronger than before. He did not know if it was an illusion, but the blood breeds had a sickly pale appearance because they did not see sunlight all year round.
However, at this moment, there was a hint of blood in his arms.
Slowly clenching his fists, Mu En could clearly feel that his strength had been greatly increased. He lightly swung his fist, and there was a faint whistling sound.
This feeling was very good and very powerful!
Mu En did not want to go back. There was one thing that Lucius was right about. In his memory, the original Mu En Giovanni had sat in a carriage for a month to come here.
As a duke, there was no one else who had fallen to such a state.
Therefore, Mu En did not want to suffer that kind of torture again. At least he had to cultivate for a period of time. He did not expect to be able to teleport, but at least he could fly back on his own.
Moreover, he had activated the sign-in system. The more special the place was, the more generous the reward would be.
Where was this?
This was the ancestral land of the vampires. What was more special than this place?
Mu En had made up his mind. He would never return to the ancestral land unless he signed in at every place.
This was tough for Lucius. He finally made up his mind to attack Mu En, but his subordinates reported that the guy did not leave the ancestral land. Instead, he stayed in a clan’s hotel.
The thirteen clans of the vampires had their own hotels. They provided temporary accommodation for the vampires who came to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.
However, the ancestor worship ceremony of the blood clan was only held once every hundred years. Normally, there was no one in the ancestral land, so the hotel was extremely simple and crude. The existence of the clan hotel was longer than that of most of the blood clan.
To put it bluntly, the tools that Lucius used to travel were better than the environment of the hotel.
Because of this, most of the blood clan either returned to their own personal cars to rest after the ceremony, or they went straight back to their own territory.
No matter how bold Lucius was, he would not dare to kill a duke in the ancestral land. He originally wanted to wait for Mu En and get rid of him on the way back.
But this Mu En was better. He went straight to the hotel and did not return.
Lucius gnashed his teeth. ‘You are a duke for crying out loud! Although your territory has been divided up by others, in name, those territories are still under your command. Is it really good for you to stay in the ancestral land and not leave?’
‘Wait, could it be that he was waiting for an opportunity? When the time came, would he inform the throne of those who violated the commandments and let the throne settle the accounts?’
‘No, no, no.’ Lucius thought about it calmly. This was not very feasible. Not to mention that the throne usually fell into a deep sleep, even if the nobles wanted to stretch their muscles and look around, they would still appear and disappear mysteriously. No one knew where they were.
This was a wild goose chase and it would not be successful.
However, what if he was lucky enough to succeed?
Lucius could not sleep at night. He left his comfortable coffin overnight and secretly moved into the clan hotel, keeping an eye on Mu En’s movements.
