The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Magicians, Druids, Vampires, Wizards.

Liszt had already encountered four kinds of special Casters.

In the leftover notes from Curtis Truth, there was an illustration of the Eye of Truth, in which the three corners of the triangle represented matter, Magic Power, and spirit, each one listing out the relevant Caster professions.

In the material branch, there were Alchemists, Vampires, and Necromancers.

In the Magic Power branch, there were Magicians and Druids.

In the spiritual branch, there were Wizards, Sorcerers, Prophets, Succubi, and Shamans, among which ancient Wizards mostly transformed themselves into Liches, which is to say, Curtis Truth and Andy Sapphire of the Marquis of Bull, belonged to the category of Wizards.

It was unknown if these Casters really existed.

But at least it could be inferred that they more or less had existed on this continent. The Duchy of Sapphire was located in a remote area and its history only spanned just over one hundred and fifty years, so it was relatively "clean." Those special Casters, even if they existed, were probably scattered across the various nations of the continent.

"This black cloak with a red interior from Tuobert, take it as a reward for pledging allegiance to me, you wear it. I'll have Thomas arrange a cabin for you on the ship, where you'll live from now on, focused solely on serving as my Vampire Servant. Perform well and I will consider whether to return your heart to you," he said.

After chatting for a while and being unable to extract more information from Elizabeth,

Liszt began arranging her new identity, "You are no longer a Vampire from the Black Knight Family, so don't use the name Elizabeth Black Knight any longer, revert to your original name Mary... Bloody Mary, that sounds pretty good."

Bloody Mary unwillingly, and in a fawning manner, said, "My lord, how about you give me Tuobert's heart to absorb? Once I ascend to a Pureblood Vampire, I can serve you better."

"When you have made enough contributions, everything is negotiable, without contributions, don't mention anything," Liszt calmly stated a fact, "According to my past standard, you dared to harbor ill intent towards me, I would never have left you alive, now I don't kill you, you should be grateful."

Back when Paris had also infiltrated the Castle, intending to harm him, he did not kill Paris— or to put it another way, his thoughts were actually deeply influenced by the Smoke Mission, the power of destiny represented by the smoke, and his own spiritual power, might have already merged.

Indistinguishable from each other.

Paris and Bloody Mary were both rewards from the Smoke Mission, naturally he was reluctant to kill them casually. Paris had her sister to restrain her, now Bloody Mary was also restrained by her heart. With a means of control, it was naturally best to maximize benefits and reap more advantages.

When Paris came to Fresh Flower Town, Liszt was still weak, chiefly playing the emotional card.

Bloody Mary had already missed the opportunity, by the time she arrived, Liszt had already become a Half-Step Dragon Knight, no longer needing to exhaust himself playing the emotional card. Holding her heart, no matter how much Bloody Mary struggled, she couldn't escape his palm—placing the heart into the Gemstone Space, it couldn't even be stolen.

"I'm going to take a bath now, those four Vampires might soon arrive, you'll entertain them and make them understand their current situation."

"Understood, my lord," Bloody Mary solemnly replied.

She finally realized that this young Sky Knight was not a naive youth who could be confused by beauty. Moreover, she wasn't much to look at, not young, nearing forty years old—she was transformed into a Vampire at the age of seventeen, and had since spent twenty years.

Although because of Blood Magic, she didn't show signs of aging, and her body remained tender.

But she was no longer young.

And she clearly felt that, when she revealed her age, Liszt's enthusiasm quickly dropped by a third, "Heh, men..."

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of knocking pulled Bloody Mary back to reality, and she responded in clumsy Serpent Script, "Please enter."

The door was pushed open, and a maid who already knew about the existence of Bloody Mary brought in a glass of juice and set it on the table, "Lady, please enjoy the juice."

"Thank you."

Bloody Mary was very friendly toward the servants of Liszt.

She was a clever woman and knew that her looks would not help her anymore; she needed to use her real skills to win Liszt's appreciation and rewards in order to regain her heart and freedom.

And possibly obtain Tuobert's heart to advance to a Pureblood Vampire.

So she could not afford to offend the servants around Liszt carelessly—a casual word from a servant might ruin her image in Liszt's eyes.

The maid responded with a smile, but when she saw Bloody Mary's red eyes and pale complexion, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.

Immediately realizing her reaction, she said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's alright, I am not one of the Sapphire People; my eyes are a little different from yours."

"Ah, yes, my lady, but your eyes are very beautiful."

"Thank you."

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."

"You may go."

As soon as the maid left the room, Bloody Mary suddenly called out to the window, "Peggy, come in now!"

Flap, flap.

A bat fluttered its wings and flew in. As the bat landed, it quickly transformed into a tall woman with golden hair, having the same pale complexion and blood-red eyes, "Mary, Lord Tuobert summoned me here, what's the matter? The aura here is not friendly to us."

"There is no longer any Lord Tuobert. Now, your master is Viscount Black Horse Island, Lord Liszt Tulip."

Crimson Peggy, who had an ordinary appearance and a shrill voice, exclaimed, "What kind of joke is this?"

"I am not joking. Tuobert was killed by Lord Liszt with a single sword strike, and even his bat forms were crushed one by one—he could not be deader. Now, our hearts are in Lord Liszt's hands, and he has summoned you here, apparently, to incorporate you into his service."

Crimson Peggy still did not believe it.

Bloody Mary picked up a cloak from the table, "See for yourself, Tuobert's clothes, which have been awarded to me by Lord Liszt. So, Crimson Peggy, accept your new identity and serve Lord Liszt well. As long as you perform excellently, freedom is not out of reach."

Crimson Peggy's eyes flickered, "Then, this Lord Liszt?"

"The lord has matters to attend to and will return later. I am waiting here for you, as well as Hamil, Wimbleton, and Uso who are on their way, to make you understand the facts—Tuobert's demise is no joke."

"Mary, tell me about Lord Liszt. It seems I have heard this name before, isn't he the youngest Sky Knight of Sapphire?"

"You heard correctly, but I need to clarify one thing—Lord Liszt's strength is terrifying, terrifying to the extent that he could kill Tuobert in an instant. As for how terrifying exactly, only those who have personally witnessed him kill Tuobert in an instant can truly understand that indomitable and violent nature!"

Bloody Mary spoke slowly, her mind racing back to that previous battle. She was still shaken to the core—Liszt's transformation into flames and his stance while firing arrows, scenes she would never forget for the rest of her life.
