Chapter 1334 Table of contents

According to hearsay, the Elsworth family had risen to power in California.

The California gold rush happened in the 1850s, and the Civil War began in 1861.

Given the timeline and location, it was indeed possible that the Elsworth family had acquired the castle in one or two generations.

The land that the castle was on was basically no different to any land under the Elsworth family's name. At the very least, it didn't seem very important on the surface, and had been desolate for many years.

Luke mulled over this and felt that the ancestors of the Elsworth family had probably long had a connection with the vampires.

Sheldon had died too quickly, and a lot of secrets had disappeared with this cunning fellow.

However, the confessions of the surviving Blood God believers revealed that Sheldon had known too much about vampires.

More importantly, the round, roofless building in the castle that had been used for the Blood God's ascension was 100% an ancient structure, and had existed before the castle was built.

Humans couldn't turn into Blood Gods, which meant that the person who had built the castle over a hundred years ago was a vampire.

It seemed that the deaths in the Elsworth family were well deserved. Luke was angry that he had missed such an important piece of information, and decided to investigate the rest of the family.

Who knew if there were some who still harbored ambitions to bring to life a "Vampire God"!

Thinking that, Luke overtook Daywalker and sped toward the ancient castle in Sacramento.

In order to remain invisible, the Big Dipper Armor flew at a low speed and only arrived at the castle an hour later.

But from a distance, Luke could already see a few lights in the castle.

Someone was here! He was pleasantly delighted.

A year ago, Batman killed Sheldon, and it had been noisy in the castle for more than ten days. Then, the researchers left.

It was mainly because Sheldon had died too quickly, and the researchers had already found the garlic stun grenades and anticoagulants that Luke had used.

After experimenting on the vampires that were taken away, they found that these two things were extremely effective against vampires.

This could only mean that the "Vampire God" which had required eight vampire sacrifices had died because of these two ordinary things.

This outcome thoroughly disappointed those who had been interested in the Blood God.

To complete this ritual, they had first captured eight powerful vampires, only to create a Blood God with an obvious weakness.

It wasn't easy to find a vampire with decent strength, but since they now knew how to deal with the Blood God, it wouldn't be hard to kill this monster.

Thus, the round, roofless hall which had been used for the ritual wasn't moved or destroyed, and was still intact.

In fact, the only lights in the castle were in this open hall.

Luke didn't go over directly. He released a mid-sized drone and a mini drone at different heights.

If the people inside were vampires, it would be a serious waste to let any of them go after all the time his clone had spent investigating.

The drones didn't enter the round hall, and simply operated around it.

Vampires had far sharper eyes and ears than ordinary people. A mini drone passing by might not attract their attention, but it would be easily exposed if it flew back and forth around the hall.

Normal people wouldn't care about small bugs, but anyone would subconsciously take a look if they heard a fly wandering around a quiet house.

High up in the sky, the mid-sized drone filmed the situation inside through the open roof.

Luke was stunned when he saw the image. Were these people… having a party?

Eleven people were partying in the round hall.

There were open bottles of red wine, whiskey, and champagne.

The people were spraying the champagne everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere.

Was he wrong? Maybe these weren't bloodsuckers, but people who had the money to play castles and knights? Hm, there were even some who were wearing armor. Were these brainless fans of Tony? For the first time, Luke strongly doubted his deductions.

Frowning, he was about to eavesdrop on their conversation with Elementary Sound Wave and use Sharp Nose to detect their scents.

By using these, it wouldn't take even a minute to identify them.

Just as Luke landed lightly on the grass and stood still, a man in full armor, who was sitting on a rock in the round hall and playing with a bottle of whiskey, suddenly frowned.

The man looked in Luke's direction and shook his head with some confusion.

Nevertheless, he, who had just obtained immense power, still opened his mouth slightly, and released an invisible wave in Luke's direction.

Luke pricked up his ears to listen to what the people inside were talking about.

Then, his face changed.

At the same time, the face of the man in armor in the round hall changed. He suddenly stood up and jumped lightly over the wall of the round hall that was ten meters high.

The young man jumped off the wall and glided toward Luke.

Looking at the man who was closing in, Luke was surprised. There were so many Iron Man imposters nowadays?

This young man was the one whom he had thought was a brainless fan of Iron Man.

The suit looked like cosplay.

Compared with the glamorous Mark series, this suit looked fake — very fake.

Even compared with the multiple sets of armor that a real master copycat like Luke had made, this person's armor was nothing.

It wasn't as mysterious and heavy as the Bat suit, nor as refreshing and meticulous as the Big Dipper Armor.

It couldn't even compare with the early version of the White Wolf Armor. At the very least, Luke had relied on that armor to obtain the title of "Angel of Judgment." Putting combat ability aside, it was at the very least classy.

The person in front of him… Well, he looked a little like the armored warriors from kid shows in his previous life. The only thing this armor had on those stage props was that the color and model at least weren't garish or crude.

Looking at the cursory results of the Big Dipper Armor's test, however, Luke was a little stunned. Why did this thing… look a little like the earliest form of the Bat suit?

It had no power, was quite sturdy, and had a dark red cape on its back. Apart from being uglier, wasn't this just a copy of the first Bat suit?

So, this guy wasn't Tony's fan, but his own brainless fan? Even as the thought flashed through Luke's mind, he immediately focused.

The "armored warrior" who glided down had good balance and nerves, and could actually use the cape's glide function well.

Without a doubt, this person was no weaker than Luke from a year ago.
