Chapter 775 The Curse of the Vampires
Hou Qingyi stopped in her tracks, slightly interested. She turned to look at Lin Nuo. “Oh?”
“You know that our Bright Star River Guild has been helping the twelve corporations. The twelve corporations have been collecting the holy weapons of the vampires from the Vampire Apocalypse’s server.”
“That’s why we’ve placed a chess piece among the demon hunters. It’s so that we can collect all the holy weapons of the vampires.”
“We have received reliable information that Fang Shuo is backed by a gaming company or a group called ‘Ark’. This group comes from a higher-tier game and is extremely mysterious. The twelve corporations do not have any information about them. We only know that the World Lord of District 8 of the Zombie Apocalypse, Fang Heng, is most likely one of the members of the group.”
“Fang Shuo intends to stir up a dispute between the Holy Court and the Elders Council. He is secretly weakening the vitality of the vampires. At the same time, he is insidiously stealing the Thirteen Holy Artifacts of the vampires.”
“If I’m not mistaken, the Ark Gaming Company already has at least eight holy weapons of the vampires.”
Lin Nuo laid out his speculations, “I can confirm that through this face-off battle between the vampires and the Holy Court, Fang Shuo’s goal is to steal the holy weapons of the vampires that have not been distributed by the Elders Council!”
Hou Qingyi stared at Lin Nuo coldly and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she stretched out one finger and said, “One question.”
“What?”
“Why should I stop Fang Shuo from obtaining the holy weapon?”
Lin Nuo gritted his teeth.
“The Thirteen Holy Artifacts of the vampires are related to the entire vampire realm. I know you have qualms about the twelve corporations, but at least we are working within the scope of rules.”
“Even if it’s just for show, the twelve corporations will ensure the safety of the people of District 9.”
Lin Nuo stared at Hou Qingyi, “But that mysterious Ark Company is different! They are very dangerous! They might even be from the anti-federation forces.”
Hou Qingyi nodded and thought for a moment, then raised her head, “Everything you said is just your speculations. Where is the evidence?”
“Aren’t these speculations enough?! Didn’t you realize it? Everything that happened in District 9 was caused by Fang Shuo! Ever since he appeared, from Victoria City to Jin City, and then to Angetas! Even the vampires who are about to start the decisive battle with the Holy Court! Think carefully, this is all controlled by someone behind the scenes!”
Through the iron railings, Lin Nuo stared at Hou Qingyi. He was unusually emotional. “Who else in District 9 is capable of controlling the people behind the scenes other than you, the Southern Federation, and us, the twelve corporations?”
Hou Qingyi fell into silence. She thought for a moment and turned to leave.
“Don’t go! Come back!”
Lin Nuo knocked on the iron railings heavily and shouted, “Don’t you believe what I said?!”
“I won’t easily believe what others say.” Hou Qingyi said in a deep voice, “I will use my method to verify it. If it boils down to Fang Shuo, I will not let it go.”
The vampires’ battle conference in the Elders Council lasted the whole night.
In the end, the vampires decided to launch a surprise attack on the Holy Court three days later at night.
Hearing this news, Fang Heng applauded in his heart.
He felt that the time was just right.
At that time, the cooldown time of the ultimate skill, the Everlasting Moon, would almost be over, so it would be just in time.
The artwork in the headquarters of the Holy Court would go to waste though, what a pity…
Fang Heng also wanted to rummage through the headquarters of the Holy Court and take all the spoils of war back to the prison.
But when he thought about it carefully, it was too difficult.
The most important and crucial goal at the moment was to obtain the holy weapon of vampires in the hands of the sleeping Prince of vampires and unlock the secrets of the Thirteen Holy Artifacts.
Fang Heng felt that the Prince could not be defeated.
Last time in District 7 of the Zombie Apocalypse, he relied on the resurrected Hila to fight the Prince with all his might and it was a stalemate.
Therefore, it was not possible to obtain the holy weapon by force this time.
He had to rely on stealing and cheating.
In short, he had to find a way to find out where the Prince was held in.
After the conference, Fang Heng began to wander around the Elders Council’s yard to find out where the Prince was hiding, and at the same time, to find out where he could hide a large number of Lickers.
The sewer was definitely not an option.
Fang Heng had asked before, but there was no sewer built in the Elders Council of vampires.
Vampires did not need that kind of thing.
If it was not possible, they could only hide the Lickers in the guest room.
There were too many Lickers. They still needed to wait for 18 hours to obtain sufficient proliferators to ensure their combat strength. After that, they would need Sandy’s help to transform their appearance into ghouls…
All these would take a long time and ultimately increase the risk of them being discovered if they were to hide in the guest room.
It was indeed troublesome… “Fang Shuo.”
Fang Heng heard someone calling him as he pondered. He could not help but stop and turn his head to look behind him.
Hou Qingyi walked out from behind the corner of the pathway behind them.
“It is indeed unexpected to have taken down Lin Nuo and the twelve corporations so quickly.”
A test?
Fang Heng raised his guard and paused before saying, “Don’t get me wrong. Lin Nuo’s matter has nothing to do with me.”
“Is that so?” Hou Qingyi looked at Fang Heng. “Who exactly are you? What do you want?”
“Heh.”
Fang Heng chuckled, turned his back, and continued to walk forward. Instead of answering, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing much. I’m just a little curious. Are you looking for something?”
“No, I’m just walking around.”
Hou Qingyi followed Fang Heng’s footsteps, and the two of them walked forward side by side.
“I haven’t formally introduced myself. I’m the person in charge of the Southern Federation in District 9 of the Vampire Apocalypse, deputy commander Hou Qingyi. It is very beneficial to me that something happened to Bright Star River Gaming Company. If you don’t mind, I’d like to talk to you about cooperating together in District 9.” “Sure.”
“I’ve lived in the Elders Council for a long time. Let’s talk as we walk.”
Along the way, Hou Qingyi tried to test Fang Heng.
“Vampires are launching a general attack on the Holy Court. I think you’ll definitely participate, right?”
“Mm, this is a good opportunity to gain the trust of the Elders Council. I also hope to quickly wake up Angetas and complete the bloodline refinement.”
Fang Heng chatted casually.
He secretly observed the entire Elders Council, including the building on the periphery of the Elders Council, and pondered on where to hide the Lickers.
Hou Qingyi was a little disappointed after accompanying Fang Heng for more than half a circle.
She didn’t get any useful clues from Fang Heng
“Eh? What is that place?”
Fang Heng curiously pointed into the distance.
It was a building at the periphery of the Elders Council.
Many high-tier vampires were guarding the door.
Unlike other places, the security of the vampires in this area was unusually tight.
“The Land of Hibernation, the place where vampires sleep. I think you’ve heard of the curse of the vampires.”
The vampires’ bloodlines were cursed.
Even the lowest-tier vampires were plagued by the curse. Therefore, the vampires were in hibernation mode for most of the day.
Starting from the Duke-tier vampires, the strength of the curse had reached a terrifying level. Even their lives were under great threat.
In order to resist the curse, the high-tier vampires often chose to enter a long period of hibernation.
