Speaking of which, although this equipment is excellent, Violet actually can’t use it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been left in her backpack gathering dust until now.

 

As for the reason…

 

………………………………………

【Blood of Dawn】

【Grade: Divine Artifact】

【Usage Requirements】:
– Level must reach lv50
– User must be of the vampire race

【Description】: 

Originally bestowed by the progenitor of Blood Clan to the Second Princess Lucine Constantius, and later passed on to the Blood Clan Duke Aphra Constantius, this personal belonging was originally a purple treasure-quality equipment.

Three hundred years ago, Aphra died, and the lord of the Glory City, Ulysses Fred, fused with the “Seed of Blasphemy” and extracted countless essence powers, injecting them into the sealed remains of Aphra Constantius. The hope was to awaken the powerful vitality of the vampire and resurrect him.

However, fate is predetermined, and extraordinary power cannot change it. Most of its power was actually absorbed by the special equipment carried by Aphra, gradually transforming, evolving, and reaching its current level.

After a certain special existence eradicated the “Cocoon of Blasphemy,” this item was collected and currently has no owner.

………………………………………

 

At the end of the investigation, there are also the inherent attributes and several active and passive skills of this “Blood of Dawn,” but from Violet’s perspective, they are all in gray.

 

She is not a vampire and does not meet the conditions for wearing this equipment. So even if she holds it in her hand, it will have no effect, and it cannot be bound either.

 

Moreover, this is a standard necklace accessory. Violet already has a better set of Divine-tier equipment. Both in terms of attributes and compatibility, it is far superior to this Divine-tier equipment, and there is no need to force its use.

 

As the introduction mentioned, she kept it in her backpack with a collector’s mentality.

 

However, this time, it unexpectedly served a different purpose. Should we call it serendipity?

 

Feeling the vague information transmitted by the brooch… it seemed to resonate with somewhere else, roughly pointing Violet in a certain direction.

 

Putting the curious and wandering item back into her pocket, Violet clenched “Blood of Dawn” in her hand, activated the effect of the “Chameleon Cloak” again, and slipped out of the room.

 

Although the first floor looked tightly sealed from the outside, with no light penetrating, the interior of the mansion was not dim. Instead, it was adorned with candles and expensive magical lamps everywhere, giving it a luxurious feel.

 

This room, connected to the outside through a French window, was located somewhere on the second floor of the mansion. It was combined with other rooms, interconnected by a circular corridor with red carpets, and the central part was empty.

 

There was a spiral wooden staircase connecting the two floors, and above the second floor, there was a third floor with the same structure, and even a fourth and fifth floor.

 

The overall feeling of the mansion was like a massive hollow cylinder, and one wondered about the meaning behind such a unique architectural design.

 

Although it was already midnight, there were quite a few people in the first-floor hall at this time, bustling with at least a hundred people.

 

However, despite the large number, it was not noisy.

 

The people here seemed to have high qualities, behaving politely and in an orderly manner, as if it were a gathering of upper-class individuals who had undergone the most professional aristocratic etiquette training.

 

There were both men and women, with men mostly wearing black tailcoats or fitted noble robes, while women were uniformly dressed in palace-style dresses or elaborate Lolita dresses—attire that seemed extremely intricate to Violet.

 

Especially, the appearance of these people was all remarkably outstanding. Pick any one of them, and their looks could be considered top-tier even in the Human United Kingdom.

 

This was definitely not a normal situation.

 

Although standing on the second floor and looking down, Violet, with her excellent eyesight, could still clearly see those men and women, with black bat wings behind them and the crimson liquid in crystal cups, emitting a… bloody scent.

 

Vampires, all present.

 

Already nearly extinct on the mainland and rarely appearing, the vampires, marked with blood droplets on the map, unexpectedly gathered in the capital of the Human United Kingdom, the Courage City, numbering over a hundred.

 

It turns out that the symbols marked with blood droplets on the map meant this… Did the other party already know that vampires were hidden here?

 

Or perhaps, were these vampires intentionally luring themselves here?

 

It didn’t seem very likely…

 

Honestly, Violet was also encountering vampires for the first time. Her knowledge about them was shallow. The Forgotten Land incident was just a glimpse of Aphra’s memories and the residual reflections after she had been worn away by time.

 

Let’s not dwell on that for now.

 

With so many vampires gathering together at this critical moment, Miss Priestess couldn’t believe they came for a tea party.

 

It was midnight. Would something happen at this time?

 

At this moment, standing in the high place of the hall, a young man in a black tailcoat suddenly raised a goblet filled with fresh blood, attracting the attention of all the vampires present.

 

He seemed to be the leader or organizer here.

 

“Fellow kindred, I am Julius Constantius, the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan. Today, I have summoned you all here, and I believe everyone is well aware of the reasons and purposes.”

 

The man spoke loudly, his tone neither hurried nor slow, magnetic and melodic, carrying a fascinating charm.

 

“Three hundred years ago, our clan faced a great upheaval. The traitor Aphra stole the Mirror of Shadows, carrying the sacred temple and the 【Seed of Blasphemy】, fleeing from the Human United Kingdom. After a long pursuit and search, we finally discovered them in the Glory City.”

 

“In that battle, the opponent violated the ancestral teachings and shamelessly used the power of Blasphemy, causing the fall of three princes. As a result, our clan had to abandon the plan to ‘create gods’ and lay low, waiting for the opportune moment…”

 

At this point, his tone suddenly became impassioned.

 

“But, the times are changing! The rebellious undead city has been completely destroyed by divine punishment. This is the perfect opportunity for our vampire clan to rise! Don’t you all agree?”

 

The young man who called himself Julius, although his words were quite stirring, the other vampires present were clearly not novices. Except for a few who enthusiastically echoed, most did not respond. Instead, they watched coldly.

 

After a while, a girl with delicate dark red long hair, dressed in a black Lolita dress, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, stood out. She lazily yawned, half covering her face with a folding fan.

 

“Julius, did everyone come from all over the world just to hear you talk nonsense? Don’t get it wrong. Our clan chose seclusion because the Blood Progenitor tragically fell during the divine calamity a thousand years ago. We retreated wisely to preserve ourselves. How did it become something else in your words?”

 

The girl lightly tapped the surroundings with the folding fan and pointed with an air of disdain.

 

“There are still many young people here. It’s too disrespectful to lump all of us blood elders into your radical faction’s doings, isn’t it?”

 

Although on the surface, the Blood Clan Duke named Julius appeared at least ten years older than the black-haired girl named Lucine Constantius, in reality, he behaved like a true junior, showing extreme humility and deference. He dared not speak loudly in front of her.

 

“Haha, Your Highness Lucine Constantius, how could a junior like me dare to distort the truth in front of you? Although I am only a third-generation vampire, not comparable to your status as a second-generation direct descendant princess, you have been in seclusion for a long time, and you may not be aware of the current situation in the Human United Kingdom, right?”

 

“Now that King Anchorro is dead. Princess Lilya Melchior has just defeated her biggest contender, the second prince Ben Melchior, she can be said to be the confirmed next queen with almost certainty.”

 

“All of this was actually within our expectations.”

 

“Now is the time to launch the final plan, replace Lilya Melchior, and create the best opportunity for our true collaborator, Devitt Melchior, to ascend to the throne!”
