Chapter 727: Asking Me to Recruit the Vampire Ancestor?
Chapter 727: Asking Me to Recruit the Vampire Ancestor?
Just as Night City was about to say that he had taken the wrong item, he saw Gado and his men finish off the Diabolos Essence in their hands, and his face couldn't help but show a look of pain.
Damn, three castles worth of stuff, if converted to gold coins, could pile up into a small mountain, and now it's all wasted?
But the dog-legged drink had already been consumed, and it was obviously impossible to make them spit it out now.
So despite the pain in his heart, Night City had to put on a calm and collected demeanor.
After consuming the Diabolos Essence, the mana of Gado and his men did indeed increase visibly.
Although they were still far from the "Seven Shadows" of the Shadow Courtyard, with some good equipment, they should be able to hold their own against Alice.
The pills and so-called essences developed by the Cult did increase mana and prolong life, but the side effect was that the body would gradually be corrupted and demonized.
Night City would never touch such things, but Gado and his men, as the "Named Sons" of the Cult, had already consumed a lot of the pills, so a little more essence wouldn't hurt.
"By the way, Sir Galahad, in addition to the response regarding the previous incident, the Cult has assigned you a new task.
They want you to go to the Unreachable City and try to recruit the Vampire Ancestor, 'Blood Queen' Elizabeth, to join our Cult."
"According to our Cult's informants in the Unreachable City, the Vampire Ancestor of the Red Tower seems to be about to be awakened by others.
With the death of Lord Modred, the Cult is severely lacking in high-level combat power, so..."
Night City understood the Cult's intentions before Gado could finish speaking.
It was nothing more than the Cult's recent string of losses, with the bald bishop and Modred dying in battle, and the asteroid explosion caused by Shadow earlier, which made the Cult fearful of Shadow's power.
Once was a coincidence, but with several consecutive setbacks, the Diabolos Sect, which had never taken the 'Shadow Courtyard' seriously, began to pay attention to this organization.
To counter the unfathomable power of Shadow, the Cult needed more high-level combat power.
And coincidentally, the 'Blood Queen' of the Red Tower was a suitable recruitment target.
As Night City prepared to set off for the Unreachable City, he also received a letter from home.
In the letter, his mother, Medis, expressed her anger after Claireya learned about his fake engagement with Senior Roz. Claireya, who was supposed to go to the Olyana Kingdom, went missing while passing through the Unreachable City.
Gaes and Medis were extremely worried and even sent many people to search for her in vain. Finally, considering Night City's strength and that he was responsible for this mess, they ordered him to find and bring Claireya back.
In the letter, Gaes and Medis also wrote at length about how obedient and important Claireya was, stating that if Night City couldn't find her, he needn't return.
Gaes emphasized that their Omega family didn't tolerate scoundrels who started relationships and then abandoned their responsibilities.
Even his doting mother, Medis, declared that if he couldn't find Claireya and earn her forgiveness, she wouldn't acknowledge him as her son for ten... no, one year.
"Sigh, Father and Mother, you still dote on Claireya so much. I'm your real son!
But this time, it's indeed my fault. I just hope that nothing unexpected happens to Claireya.
The original plan was to head to the Unreachable City of Yecheng, but now, they hastened their journey and contacted the Cult members in the Unreachable City to investigate and protect Claireya Kagano.
If anyone in the Unreachable City lays a hand on her, don't hesitate to kill them all!
Nowadays, he is, after all, a high-ranking member of the Cult, and using some of his authority is completely fine.
As for Gado and his group, when it comes to Yecheng's orders, they naturally execute them without hesitation.
They also know that this noble girl named Claireya Kagano is Galahad's childhood friend.
They claim to be Yecheng's vassals, and this lady who might become their future mistress deserves their utmost dedication.
The Unreachable City is a lawless region not governed by any surrounding kingdom.
Within this lawless region, it is ruled by the three major powers: the 'Blood Queen' of the Red Tower, the 'Kitsune' of the White Tower, and the 'Tyrant' of the Black Tower.
Claireya had indeed visited the Unreachable City a few days ago.
She was merely passing by and intended to purchase some information, but who would have thought that she would encounter Jaga and Shuloh, two sidekicks of Yecheng and Sid.
Jaga was here because he owed a high-interest loan, so he fled to the Unreachable City to seek refuge.
Shuloh, on the other hand, was tricked by his friend, and both of them had been thinking of losing their virginity in the Unreachable City.
After all, it is the "Unreachable City," so it is naturally filled with violence and color. Jaga and Shuloh heard that even low-priced, beautiful elves and beastkin girls could be found here, so they came in search of them.
It was also during their time in the 'Slums' that Claireya encountered the two sidekicks. Knowing that they were classmates of Yecheng and Sid, she stopped them and asked if Yecheng and his younger brother had also gone to such a disreputable place.
However, pressured by Claireya's might, Jaga also recalled the previous scene of Yecheng's date with Princess Roz. So, he hurriedly spoke the truth.
Hearing from Jaga's mouth that Yecheng was only pretending to be Princess Roz's fiance for her sake, Claireya's mood greatly improved.
However, just as she was about to leave the Unreachable City and continue her journey to the Olyana Kingdom, a sudden change occurred!
The Unreachable City's sky suddenly showed a 'Red Moon,' and vampires appeared on the streets, attacking passersby. The area where Claireya was located fell into chaos.
What's more troublesome is that Claireya, among the crowd, was spotted by the current ruler of the Red Tower, who believed she could become the best nourishment for the 'Blood Queen's' resurrection.
After being severely injured by numerous pursuing vampires, Claireya was saved by a vampire hunter named Mary.
Upon learning that she was targeted by the 'Blood Queen,' Claireya and Mary, facing numerous pursuing vampires, could only fight the vampires while heading towards the Red Tower.
The entire Unreachable City also fell into chaos due to the appearance of the Red Moon.
