Chapter 364 Blood Rose

Chapter 364 Blood Rose

Qin Mo had seen many vampires in Liechtenstein, including Count Borman of the Plath family and the orthodox vampire girl Feli, as well as the vampire youth who gave him a terrifying feeling. However, this was the first time he had seen hundreds of pure-blooded vampires at once.

Every crew member and attendant on Isabella's "Crimson Rose" was a pureblood vampire with a strong blood aura. They were dressed in luxurious clothes, had elegant manners, and their faces all had a stubborn and arrogant expression.

"Aren't you being a bit too arrogant, having all your crew members and sailors as pure-blooded vampires?"

As Qin Mo watched the vampire youths in their beautiful formal attire skillfully raising the sails, tying the ropes, and even elegantly squatting on the deck to scrub the floor, a thousand special animals seemed to run through her mind.

You should know that he would be very proud if he could keep a Human Realm cultivator on one of his ships, but his boatswain looks like an earl comparable to a Yellow Realm cultivator, while the orthodox pure-blooded viscounts and barons are just destined to wipe the deck.

“My attendants are all volunteers; no one forced them to clean the deck,” Isabella said casually.

"You really are... a big shot!" Qin Mo said sourly.

"snort!"

Meanwhile, the two butlers serving nearby, Oakes and Mars, exchanged a glance, their eyes becoming even more respectful towards Qin Mo.

Both of them had lived for hundreds of years, and in their memory, no one who dared to speak to Princess Isabella like that would have a good end. Yet this young man had not angered the princess, which showed that he must have a special identity or ability.

"Knock knock knock!"

The tall, handsome captain knocked on the door and entered, cautiously asking Isabella, "Your Highness, we are approaching the Skagerrak Strait. Please instruct us on the next course!"

Isabel glanced at Qin Mo but didn't say anything.

Qin Mo said, "Please sail closer to the southern shore of the strait. I will disembark when the opportunity arises. Thank you!"

The captain first gave Qin Mo a polite smile, then turned his gaze to Isabel, awaiting his master's reply.

"Isaac, let's go back to London!" Isabel swirled the wine in her glass, staring blankly at the red wine inside.

“Yes, Your Highness, to London!” Captain Axe confirmed the course and stepped back.

Qin Mo asked curiously, "Is Your Highness's castle in London?"

“Windsor Castle in Britain! How about a visit?” Isabella took a sip of red wine.

"Oh! I need to go to Riga... but that doesn't seem to be on my way!"

Isabella said nonchalantly, "Not on the way? You're just afraid I'll suck your blood!"

The two vampire stewards, Oakes and Mars, looked down at their feet in silence, pondering whether Qin Mo was His Highness's guest or just a snack.

“I’ve changed my mind. I haven’t left the house in over a decade. Tell Ex to head for Riga Fortress!” Isabel looked at Qin Mo, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and suddenly found it quite amusing.

The massive "Crimson Rose" turned twice in succession, heading southeast and entering the Baltic Sea.

The Baltic Sea shipping lanes were extremely busy at this time, with a large number of temple transport ships fully loaded with goods sailing eastward to the front lines between the orcs and humans. From the Spring Festival to autumn was the season of bloodshed between the two sides, and also the season to test the logistical supply capabilities of both sides.

The massive "Blood Rose" became the most eye-catching focus on this route. Its long and exaggerated hull, luxurious and gorgeous decorations, and incredible speed drew envious exclamations from the crew and sailors along the way.

“Lord Eugen, look at that ship! Whose noble family is the coat of arms on the mast? This ship... it's truly magnificent!”

In the cabin of a fast passenger ship, knights and warriors missing limbs were seated. After being gloriously wounded on the front lines, they were finally allowed to go home to recuperate. Seeing the conspicuous sailing ship speeding towards them, a one-eyed knight couldn't help but ask the most knowledgeable Count Eugen a question.

“That’s a…red rose? Many families use red roses as their coat of arms: the Earl of Claret in Normandy, the Gerf family of Nantes, and our family of Calais…”

The one-eyed knight was listening intently when suddenly the sound stopped. He turned around and saw Count Eugen staring wide-eyed and with his mouth agape, looking utterly astonished.

"Count Eugen, what's wrong?"

"Not a red rose...not a red rose...it's a blood rose..."

The one-eyed knight watched as the renowned valiant "Galle Eugen" muttered to himself incessantly as if possessed, and felt a great deal of curiosity. Then he realized that it must be because of that ship.

As the two ships passed each other, the One-Eyed Knight finally saw what was happening on the other ship.

The sailors on the ship were all dressed like nobles, their eyes filled with contempt as they looked over, and their faces were all sharply defined and angular.

"Vampires...this is a vampire..." The one-eyed knight tried to control his voice, but still managed to utter a sentence in fits and starts.

“The vampires… Windsor Rose… How could she… turn around, turn around quickly… We need to inform the Temple…” Count Eugen finally snapped out of his fear and immediately ran to the cockpit, shouting for the ship to turn.

When the fast passenger ship turned around, only the sail of the "Bloody Rose" could be seen. After the passenger ship accelerated, the sail disappeared into the sea and sky.

The relationship between the Temple and the vampires is extremely delicate, with specialists researching various aspects of the vampires. People kept recognizing the ship's origins, and they all desperately tried to inform the front lines that the "Windsor Rose" had entered the Baltic Sea, but no matter what method they used, they couldn't catch up with the "Crimson Rose's" speed.
