Although Violet had no prior knowledge of this estate, judging from the family crest engraved on the main gate wall, it should belong to some noble in the kingdom privately.

 

“?”

 

Taking a few steps after leaving the orchard, Violet stopped and cautiously observed the surroundings, leaning against the wall.

 

The Fragrance spirit, bouncing behind her, also imitated Miss Priestess’s movements.

 

In front of the main gate, there were guards.

 

Judging by their attire, they seemed to be similar to family private soldiers. As there was no confrontation, and no aura emanated, Violet, even from a distance, found it difficult to judge their strength.

 

The current situation was unclear, so it was best not to alert them.

 

She needed to get past these two guards.

 

As a priest, Violet didn’t have any inherent stealth abilities. She relied on a sacred-tier artifact equipment called the 【Chameleon Cloak】 to conceal her form, but it wasn’t particularly sophisticated. Moreover, there were many restrictions.

 

For example, she couldn’t attack or receive attacks of a certain intensity during stealth. After going invisible, she couldn’t cast spells, and if encountered by a higher-level detection skill, around level 8, the disguise of the 【Chameleon Cloak】 would be directly exposed.

 

Although the advantage was that the skill had no cooldown, and even if her stealth was broken, she only needed to wait a few seconds for it to take effect again, it was ultimately just a slightly interesting toy.

 

In the previous situation where she assisted Edwina in the battle at the Iris Orphanage, the reason Violet waited until the battle was over to stealthily approach the Miss Holy Knight after the cloak’s cooldown was not to show off, but simply to wait for the cloak to be ready again…

 

After all, in the game, Miss Priestess rarely needed to hide. Some solo missions might allow shortcuts with stealth, but those required extremely skilled techniques. Relying solely on a few pieces of equipment was impossible, so she didn’t bother with it.

 

Honestly, Violet wasn’t good at infiltration. While she didn’t think these two guards could cast 8th-tier magic, the issue was that they were like gatekeepers, standing in the not-so-wide entrance, occupying a considerable area. It would be somewhat challenging for Violet to push open the door and enter without alarming them.

 

After thinking for a while, Miss Priestess decided to use the same old trick, like when she infiltrated the princess’s bedroom before, and go in through the window.

 

Wearing the [Chameleon Cloak], Violet circled around half of the estate but found that, except near the main entrance, there were almost no windows on the ground floor. She only found a few grid-like ventilation holes that were too small for an ordinary human to squeeze through.

 

Strange…

 

It’s just a vineyard estate, is it necessary to go to such lengths to prevent theft? No light can even penetrate through. Do the people inside need to use lights even during broad daylight?

 

Although it’s possible that the ground floor is all wine cellars and warehouses, there should still be some rooms for people, regardless.

 

Fortunately, the second floor had regular windows, and there were even those open-floor-to-ceiling windows, like a pathway designed specifically for someone.

 

Avoiding the gaze of the gatekeepers and the occasional patrol team, Violet tilted her head upward, estimated the window about ten meters above the ground, took a couple of steps back, and bent her knees…

 

Swoosh!

 

A white figure leaped into the air, not in a hurry, and landed gracefully on the balcony like a floating leaf. With leisure, she even extended her arms in an intentionally exaggerated gesture toward the empty room.

 

“Hello? Anyone here? Anyone here? I’m coming in, okay?”

 

Casually joking, Violet shifted her gaze to the room beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, which, despite the night, wasn’t too dim.

 

The moon shone directly into the window, casting a faint silver radiance, creating a hazy glow. Coupled with Miss Priestess’s excellent vision, understanding the situation inside wasn’t difficult.

 

This was a quite noble and elegant residence, reminiscent of European medieval aristocratic tastes. Perhaps compared to the palace or Lilya’s Mingluan Hall, it lacked some grandiosity but had more refinement and elegance.

 

The owner of this place must be someone well-versed in aristocratic culture.

 

Moreover, it appeared to be a girl’s bedroom.

 

After a quick look around and spotting an array of elaborate dresses in the wardrobe and a pile of cosmetics on the table that Violet couldn’t comprehend at all, she reached this conclusion.

 

But what surprised Violet was that this room didn’t have a conventional bed. Instead, there was a classical and grand structure made of black wood… a coffin!

 

The craftsmanship of the coffin was very intricate, adorned with numerous unknown patterns and designs, embellished with fine velvet and silk.

 

The upper lid wasn’t sealed tightly, and Violet could see a thick cushion and pillow inside, giving the impression of an alternative bed.

 

Could it be that the local nobility here is so eccentric that they like to lie down and sleep in coffins for no reason?

 

Wait a minute, lying down to sleep in a coffin… do they dislike sunlight?

 

Why does it feel so familiar?

 

No way, this is the Human United Kingdom, how could it be…

 

At this moment, a peculiar energy fluctuation suddenly appeared, grabbing Violet’s attention.

 

Being in enemy territory with an unknown situation, Miss Priestess was exceptionally cautious. Any unusual occurrences immediately put her on high alert.

 

The black-haired girl searched for the source of the abnormal energy, but found nothing. Upon further sensing, she discovered that it was emanating from her inventory!

 

“?”

 

Not daring to be lax, Violet immediately reached into the void, fumbling for a moment until she finally found the source of the anomaly and pulled out something.

 

It was a blood-red bat-shaped brooch.

 

This equipment was the only item Violet obtained from the reflection world inside the Cocoon in the Forgotten Lands.

 

Nurtured for three hundred years with the souls of a million people from the glorious city, and even the essence of the Cocoon itself, this was an extremely powerful piece of equipment. It surpassed even the 【Ring of the Demon God’s Protection】, making it a true Semi-Divine Artifact item.

 

It was also the only Divine-tier item that Violet had encountered in this world so far.

 

At this moment, it no longer maintains its usual quiet appearance. It is radiating faint red light in the darkness, twinkling, and conveying some kind of vague cool thoughts along the palm of Violet’s hand.

 

Sacred-tier equipment generally possesses a considerable degree of spirituality. Although a true spirit of the artifact has not yet been born, under certain conditions, it can autonomously generate reactions.

 

For example, the current situation.

 

This piece of equipment, named 【Blood of Dawn】, if Violet’s guess is correct, its spiritual source is probably the duke of blood clan named Aphra Constantius.

 

To be precise, after his death, the remaining part of his soul that did not disperse was absorbed by this brooch and gradually fused over three hundred years.

 

So, it was only then that Violet would resonate with Aphra’s partial memories by touching the brooch.

 

Since Aphra’s soul has shown fluctuations…

 

In other words, there is indeed something related to the vampire clan in this mansion.

 

Furthermore, going even further, the owner is a vampire!
