Chapter 75: The Proper Use of a Great Lover's Poet
In the depths of the Demon World, a place known as the Inferno, a delegation from the Inspectorate's Escort Battalion rode atop hellish dragons, finally arriving at their destination as midnight struck—the Inferno Corridor Academy.
Ranked among the finest institutions in the Demon World, the academy was situated in a place that struck fear into the hearts of all demons—the infamous Nine Hells Prison.
After clearing the outer checks, they ventured further into a zone where foreign demonic beasts were forbidden.
The battalion's dragons circled in the air before finally descending upon a spacious clearing.
Demon officers leaped off the dragons, scanning the surroundings to ensure no threats lurked nearby. Finally, a figure emerged from the stairs that had been lowered from the dragon, stepping forward with an air of composure and nobility, as if he were the master of the midnight hour.
Before him stretched a grand avenue, a bridge-like path paved with dark gray stones that snaked forward, leading directly to the entrance of the Inferno Corridor Academy. The starlight in the night sky intertwined with the Inferno's unique crimson glow, creating a surreal, mesmerizing ambiance in the darkness.
Led by the escort battalion officers, they proceeded along the avenue. The scorching aura emanating from the Inferno seemed to weigh down the air, and in the distance, the massive gates of the academy slowly swung open, as if welcoming the arrival of the vampire envoy with great enthusiasm.
This vampire envoy made no attempt to conceal his distinct magical fluctuations. With crimson eyes that seemed to hold a profound and mysterious power named Truth, he strode down the avenue with poise, his elegant noble attire a blend of deep shadows and intricate details. His demeanor was cold and dignified.
As they progressed, an officer responsible for assisting the vampire with the inspection, knowing that they were about to meet with the school authorities, finally mustered the courage to ascertain the vampire's intentions.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Baron Sanchez, do you want us to take the initiative in terms of force?"
Before their departure, the upper echelons of the Guard House had instructed them to disregard any obstruction from the school and to prioritize the satisfaction of the vampire envoy.
Of course, the orders were flexible, and whether or not to act on them depended on the attitude of the vampire envoy himself.
"No need," Baron Sanchez replied succinctly. "But if I find any humans and the school authorities try to prevaricate or deny it, you may do as you see fit."
"Understood," the officer behind him acknowledged, grasping Sanchez's intentions.
Sanchez nodded with a slight smile.
Although the demons of the Demon World currently maintained a cautious distance from the vampires, excessive aggression might make the vampires seem unreasonable and provide the demons with an opportunity to turn the tables on them.
As long as they could find the humans hiding in the school and present the evidence, the demons would have no ground to stand on.
If the school authorities dared to resist at that point, they would only be compounding their mistakes, and the vampires would have ample means to pressure the Demon King and extract further concessions.
Baron Sanchez's confidence stemmed from the fact that no demon in the Inspectorate, the Education Bureau, or the Inferno Academy knew just how precise his ability was in identifying humans.
Even though he was only a fifth-rank, he possessed a unique innate power—the Blood True Eye, which allowed him to see through all disguises and perceive the true nature of any target's soul.
As long as one entered Sanchez's range of perception, any magical or physical disguise would be rendered meaningless.
Even with the Empire's transformation surgery that could perfectly disguise humans as demons, the soul remained unchanged. Demons and humans were inherently different species from the moment of their birth.
In front of Sanchez, any attempt at deception would be futile and only serve to highlight one's stupidity. Not even the highest-ranking members of the faculty, nor the principal herself, could hope to fool him.
...
Baron Sanchez, the vampire envoy, and the accompanying officers continued walking along the stone bridge.
At the end of the stone brick avenue, they saw the delegation from the Demon College waiting for them.
The delegation, composed of the entire high-level faculty of the college, was there to greet this distinguished guest.
The college's high-ranking members stood together solemnly and gravely, but their eyes betrayed a lack of enthusiasm for this ritual.
Although it was a superficial and somewhat reluctant gesture, they finally managed to get through the formalities.
One vampire envoy might seem insignificant, but they represented the entire Southern Continent's vampire clan, a force that even demons dared not oppose due to their innate terrifying powers and immortal existence.
"Welcome to the Inferno Corridor Academy, esteemed vampire envoy, Baron Sanchez."
The acting principal of the Demon College, dressed in a crimson gown, gracefully bowed, her gray hair flowing as she greeted the vampire envoy with a charming smile. Behind her stood the vice-principal and other high-ranking members of the faculty.
Baron Sanchez's crimson pupils shone with life as they fixed upon the principal, as if trying to see through her surface and discern her soul and origin. His gaze swept over the other faculty members, scrutinizing them as well.
While it was highly unlikely for a human to infiltrate the faculty of the Demon College, let alone reach the higher echelons, absolute caution demanded that he perform this inspection.
Soon, his eyes returned to normal.
The result: no problems.
This group of teachers from the Demon College was clear of any suspicion.
Although the principal was extremely weak...
...there was no doubt that she was a genuine high-ranking demon, noble and mysterious.
"Is Baron Sanchez suspecting that I am a human in disguise?"
The acting principal, clad in a crimson gown, gently touched her gray hair and asked the vampire envoy with a meaningful smile.
The vampire envoy, Baron Sanchez, was momentarily taken aback by the soft-spoken inquiry from the gray-haired demon before him.
Just hearing her gentle voice made his heart flutter, as if the gray-haired demon with her enchanting eyes was the very embodiment of charm and beauty.
Sanchez quickly reined in his bloodline power and averted his gaze.
"Not at all, my lady. You must surely be from a noble and prestigious clan of the Demon World, a high-ranking demon of true nobility."
Baron Sanchez bowed slightly and replied, "I apologize if my caution has caused any offense. It is merely a necessary precaution for my work."
"... "
The gray-haired demon smiled silently, her eyes like a calm lake rippling with subtle waves. A hint of mischievous satisfaction played at the corners of her mouth.
She was not Lanchi.
She was the great lover's poet, her heart in sync with Lanchi's, currently playing her part in welcoming the vampire envoy while Lanchi remained in the principal's office!
