“That’s enough. Don’t put all this on me. His father was able to become a duke because of my help. He should have given me all this.”

“The only reason that kid is still alive is because of me. Besides, I’m not the one who occupied the duke’s mansion and chased them out. What are you all talking about?”

“If you have the time, why don’t you think about how to deal with those guys from the church outside?”

What Arnia hated the most was that piece of history. He did not expect it to be mentioned at this moment.

“Humph! It’s funny. The previous duke became a duke because of your help? If you had the ability, why didn’t you help your child to become a duke? Or why didn’t you become a duke yourself?”

“That’s right. Duke’s mansion… If you don’t occupy the duke’s mansion, how much of it is out of respect for the previous duke? Are you just afraid to face it head on?”

“After all, those things of the previous duke were left for his child, not for you. You’re not his son.”

“Hahahaha!”

This sentence caused a burst of laughter.

Arnia stared at the person in the center of the crowd. He was the one who brought up the secret news in the beginning, and he had also mentioned the series of events that followed.

“Who exactly are you? What do you intend to do by sowing discord at this time? Could it be that you are the one who stole my treasure vault?”

“Or perhaps… the group of people outside were brought here by you?”

“Hahahaha! Count Arnia, please don’t kill me.” The man laughed loudly. “I don’t have the ability to break into your treasury. I’m just a humble servant who admires the previous duke.”

“As for the group of people outside… Don’t put the blame on me. You’re much more suspicious than me in this aspect.”

The surroundings burst into laughter again. Arnia’s expression was getting uglier and uglier, but there was nothing he could do.

It could be said that he had successfully offended everyone here. Even when he was at his peak, it was impossible for him to directly fight with so many people.

Moreover, he had not recovered from his serious injuries.

“If the previous duke was still here, how could they not notice until these guys arrived here?”

“Stop fooling around. If the previous duke was still around, those people wouldn’t have been able to reach here.”

“Hmph, if the previous duke was still around, those people would have already died when they invaded the territory of the blood breeds.”

…

These people’s words were getting more and more ridiculous, but Arnia had no way to refute them. This was because no matter what, it was impossible for him to win against a dead person.

“Now, let’s think about how to deal with those guys outside! No matter how much you shout, the previous duke will not appear here, unless you count on that young duke who can’t even fly and can only ride a carriage to save you.”

“You’re right, we should now think about how to deal with those guys outside, then the main force of the enemy outside will be left to you to deal with.”

“You…” The veins on Arnia’s face bulged. This guy had really set him up.

However, the others also thought so.

No matter what, the guy on the double-headed griffin’s back was not easy to deal with.

Moreover, they still had not figured out what exactly the golden disc beside him was. Could it be hiding other secrets?

Without a doubt, it was most dangerous to deal with that guy directly. No one would go there.

“Okay, leave that guy to me,” Arnia could only agree,

Then, he glared at the person who had targeted him from the beginning to the end. “I hope you can live to the end.”

“Don’t worry, my lord. You’d better think about yourself!”

Suddenly, there was a loud noise. The whole castle shook, and the blood red barrier outside was shaking.

“What’s going on? Didn’t they say that the barrier can hold?”

“That guy made a move.” Someone frowned.

The figure that had not moved for a while finally moved.

The two-headed griffin that was lying on the ground slowly stood up, and its ten-meter-long wings were fully spread out.

The figure standing on top of it, wearing golden armor, held a golden spear in his hand.

After a short moment of gathering strength, he threw it fiercely towards the castle. Under the illumination of the sun…

The golden spear pierced through the air with a dazzling light and crashed into the blood red barrier as a giant dragon.

The ground shook again. Seeing that the blood red barrier was on the verge of collapse, the people in the castle were anxious.

“We’ve been fighting for so long, but we still haven’t seen any movement from this guy. Why is he suddenly making a move now?” someone asked in panic.

“The sun is about to set. He doesn’t want to wait until night.” Someone pointed out the other party’s intentions.

“Curses! If he makes a few more moves, the barrier outside will be completely shattered.”

“Forget the barrier; if he makes a few more moves, we don’t even know if the castle will still be there.”

“It seems that we can only risk it. Everyone, get ready and be careful not to be exposed to the sunlight.”

…

“You’re finally awake!” Anna looked at the figure sitting up in the blood coffin and said unhappily, “It would have been over if you were a little later.”

She had been sitting outside for almost a day, and she had also been staring at that enemy for a day.

Unfortunately, without Mu En’s permission, she couldn’t leave this place at all.

“What’s the rush? Please remember that we are vampires. We should never fight under the sun.” Mu En yawned and he looked indifferent.

“What if those people in the castle were all killed?”

“Then it only means that they can only reach that level. Then we can call it a day and go home.” Mu En did not care at all. If it were not for catching that guy from the Holy Knights…

He wanted to ask about the angel who could remove the traps, but Mu En had no interest in staying here.

He had already signed-in at this place, so he could not sign-in again. He had already wasted a precious signing-in opportunity.

“Didn’t you say that you are a duke? Then you don’t care about them?”

“I thought you didn’t believe that I am a duke?”

“What do we do now?” Anna couldn’t be bothered with him. Of course, she did not believe that this guy could be a duke at such a young age. She was just joking just now.

“What do you mean, what do we do? The sun hasn’t set yet. Let’s continue watching the show.” Mu En put away the blood red coffin.

It was already afternoon. The setting sun had dyed the sky blood red.

But of course, Mu En could not enjoy any beautiful scenery. His eyes were only fixed on the golden disc.

The reason why the vampires in the castle were in such a sorry state was mostly because the golden disc had dispersed the clouds in the sky.

Now that the sun was setting, the effect of the golden disc’s prayer was gradually weakening.

However, Mu En felt that the golden disc was not so simple. This was also the reason why he had not made a move yet.

He did not want to fail again.

Finally, as the man on the griffin made his move, the priests in white robes beside him came to the side of the golden disc.

They turned the direction of the golden disc towards the castle, and the priests were chanting something.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the golden disc. It was like a blazing sun.

A beam of light shot out from the golden disc and shattered the blood red barrier outside.

“Curses! A man-made little sun? Are these people so powerful? What are they playing at?” Mu En stared at the scene in front of him with his mouth agape.

‘No, if it was really that simple, why didn’t they use it earlier? Why drag it out until now?’

There were two possibilities.

One was that this thing was powered by solar energy. It had to absorb enough solar energy before it could be activated.

The other possibility was that it consumed a lot of energy and could not be used many times, so it had to be used at the end.

Mu En saw that the priests next to the golden disc seemed drained at that moment, and they were repairing themselves.

Maybe they were both true.

But no matter which possibility it was, those priests must be important.

After realizing this, Mu En had an idea. Then he turned to look at Anna.

“Why are you looking at me?” Anna felt like there was a weight on her chest and she unconsciously took a step back.

“Nothing, I’m just considering whether I should use you to warm the bed.”

“You… I’d rather die than do that.” Anna crossed her arms across her chest and looked at him vigilantly.

“Then you have to prove that you have other uses besides warming the bed. Otherwise, I have no reason to keep you here,” Mu En said coldly.

Anna looked at Mu En, who seemed to have changed into a completely different person, and did not dare to resist. She subconsciously nodded in agreement.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that Mu En had already gone far away.

“Wait, you haven’t told me what you want me to do.”
