Chapter 86: Got a Serious Freeloader

Zhen Jinli didn't show it on her face, but her heart was already in turmoil.

I never expected that the city lord, Vlad, who had always been considered a potential lodging target by the players, was actually a vampire.

This is simply a shocking secret!

Vlad walked around Zhen Jinli, sank into the burgundy velvet sofa, and raised his hand to support his chin.

"By the way, you haven't told me your name yet."

Vlad looked Zhen Jinli up and down, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Now Zhen Jinli didn't even dare to say her real name, so she had to use a homophonic name.

"My name is Ginny."

"Lord City Lord, can I ask you a question?" Zhen Jinli couldn't help but ask.

Vlad raised his eyes and looked at her and said, "Speak."

Zhen Jinli looked at Vlad with some confusion.

"Why are you helping the townspeople fight another group of vampires?"

Vlad scoffed, "Why shouldn't I help them fight Dracula? Dracula and I are the enemy."

Zhen Jinli frowned and thought for a moment: "Could it be that you reached an agreement with the residents? You protect them, and they provide you with fresh blood?"

Vlad snapped his fingers, clearly in a good mood.

"You're very clever, Ginny."

Well, now that things have come to this, the truth has been almost uncovered.

Zhen Jinli looked into Vlad's silver-gray eyes and said, "You want me to help you get rid of Dracula, but what benefits can I get from that?"

Vlad doesn't know anything about the game, he is just an NPC in this copy.

Since he wants her to help kill Dracula, he must have prepared some reward for her, right?

"Ahem." Vlad cleared his throat and said, "It's no good."

Zhen Jinli:?

Vlad continued, "I intend to threaten you with the lives of your companions."

Zhen Jinli:? ?

Is it really okay for you to take advantage of her so earnestly?

Suddenly I feel ashamed to face the elders of Jiangdong. What's going on?

In the previous copy, since the people who entered the manor were ordinary players, Vlad was happy to provide them with silver daggers and asked them to help go to Bran Castle to deal with the vampires under Dracula.

As for Vlad's identity, since he is the city lord, he naturally has reason to be arrogant and not meet them.

Since other players cannot see the city lord, they have no way of knowing whether Vlad is a human or a vampire.

Zhen Jinli was almost amused by Vlad's words: "We were planning to go to Bran Castle to deal with the vampires anyway. Why did the Castle Lord have to do this?"

Vlad sneered, "It's not that I look down on you, but Dracula is too powerful. Ordinary vampire hunters are no match for him."

"Not many people can get past the mechanisms at Bran Castle, let alone assassinate Dracula."

"Even if we let them go to Brown Castle, they'll probably only be able to kill minor characters like the servants."

But the problem is that they need to kill minor characters to complete the game!

Zhen Jinli had no way to explain the game to Vlad, so she had to try to convince him with reason, oh no, to convince the vampire.

She explained helplessly: "I went to Bran Castle alone. I am Dracula and I even doubt whether I showed up on purpose."

"That's why I want to choose ten companions to go with me to Brown Castle."

Vlad: “.”

Finally, Vlad finally compromised and agreed to let Zhen Jinli select ten people to break into Brown Castle tomorrow.

"By the way," Zhen Jinli asked Vlad a question before leaving.

"After being bitten by a vampire, there's a certain chance of becoming a vampire. Is there also a certain chance of curing blood diseases?"

Zhen Jinli asked tentatively: "For example, hemophilia or something like that."

Vlad asked confusedly, "What is hemophilia?"

Zhen Jinli then remembered that this might not be the name at that time, so he changed it to Dao.

"It's a bleeding disease. Once you get hurt, it's very difficult to heal the wound."

"That's impossible." Vlad told her with certainty, "We vampires don't have the ability to cure human blood diseases."

After confirming that this was impossible, Zhen Jinli gave up.

It seems that this is impossible. Mom was just hinted at by someone with ulterior motives.

Vlad thought that Zhen Jinli wanted to know about these things because she had a blood disease, and he didn't mind telling her some more common knowledge about vampires.

"We can only transform humans into vampires through the First Embrace. Once a human becomes a vampire, they will be immortal, and any blood disease problem will naturally be solved."

"The so-called First Embrace involves sucking half of the other person's blood, then replacing it with the vampire's own blood through the fangs."

Vlad's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

"However, we don't often embrace humans. Only when we are forced into a desperate situation will we choose to convert a large number of humans into vampires to strengthen our own power."

"Or perhaps a vampire takes a fancy to a human and chooses to embrace them for the first time, making them his subordinate or partner."

It’s strange to say, in the past, vampires with superpowers were all strong ones picked from hundreds, but I didn’t expect that there would be hundreds of them appearing today.

What’s even more amazing is that there is a woman here who looks so similar to Lady Naxue.

Vlad couldn't help but wonder, could it be that even God was helping him?

***

At night, Vlad specially arranged for Zhen Jinli to sleep in the guest room of the manor and told her to get a good rest.

He also gave her a snow-white silk dress, and told her to wear it to Bran Castle the next day.

The design and style were very similar to the dresses worn by goddesses that Zhen Jinli had seen in the Norse mythology comics.

Zhen Jinli picked up the dress, looked at it, and asked curiously.

"Why do you want me to go there wearing this outfit?"

There are many traps in Brown Castle, and she is wearing a skirt to pass through them. Is she trying to kill herself?

Vlad only said, "You'll know when the time comes," and then asked the maid to take her to bathe.

Zhen Jinli glanced helplessly at the maid next to her. The other party smiled slightly, revealing half of her fangs.

Normally, she might think that this canine tooth is cute, but it’s a bit long.

But when she found out that they were all vampires, she didn't find them cute at all.

Zhen Jinli resigned herself to her fate and went to the bathroom to take a shower, then changed into the white dress and looked at herself in front of the floor-length mirror in the room.

The skirt fits me surprisingly well.

Come to think of it, if the real Lady Naxue were here, she would probably look like this, right?

Zhen Jinli looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her reflection.

Naxue, if all of this was arranged by you.

Then please tell me earlier.

What exactly is your purpose, okay?
