Repair the tower?
Lilith didn't quite understand.
"What does repairing the tower have to do with us?"
Dracula finished gnawing on the pig's trotter in his hand and said slowly,
"The supervisor is a taboo prince whose name cannot be spoken. Actually, that's all nonsense. You know, the names of every taboo prince are unspeakable, but there's only one whose nonsense is this outrageous..."
Dracula swallowed hard, and a name surfaced in his mind:
Cain.
Legend has it that Cain slept for a full 180 years at a time, and each time he woke up, he would kill a powerful figure to cleanse his mouth...
Rumor has it that Cain also possesses god-like puppets!
Of course, none of this matters.
Most importantly: Cain is repairing the tower, and he might be coming from the North to kill Lilith!
"There's no way we can escape now."
Dracula's thinking was very clear.
He knew that the presence of the royal guard on this land, and their capture by Lilith, meant that Cain himself was not far off.
Cain might not care if his guards were killed.
However, Cain will certainly intensify the hunt!
How to hide Lilith is Dracula's biggest problem right now.
Lilith countered, "Wasn't your previous disguise good enough?"
"That's feasible, but I have a much bolder plan now..."
Dracula and Lilith exchanged a few words.
The core idea is very simple:
Lilith wants to become stronger, and that requires more than just fighting.
In fact, as a genius, she needed more resources.
Combat is merely one means of acquiring resources.
For vampires, improving their overall strength depends either on external aids or on their own accumulation.
Even someone like Dracula, lying in a coffin, could rise to the rank of count through years of hard work.
However, this kind of growth was too slow for Lilith.
After hearing Dracula's plan, Lilith still had some doubts.
Will this method work?
If Dracula's plan actually succeeds...
How stupid Cain was!
Dracula saw through Lilith's thoughts and patiently explained,
“Those in positions of power are not stupid in some ways; they are just arrogant.”
Vampires are exceptionally arrogant!
After much deliberation, Lilith couldn't come up with a better plan, and according to Dracula, she didn't seem to have any losses to make.
"Okay, let's do it your way."
...
Three months later.
Inside a massive, mobile blood palace, the most forbidden prince among forbidden princes was yawning boredly.
"Always rushing me, all you do is rush me."
"I've only been out for a short time, and they're already urging me to go back and repair the tower. Who knows when this dilapidated tower will ever be finished!"
Prince Cain was in a bad mood.
Cain's original intention for this northern hunt was to find a mysterious powerful figure, but he happened to meet an elder of the werewolf clan, so he added a scarf to his own neck.
However, the Royal Guard also suffered some losses, and they were replenished nearby.
Cain was forced to return to repair the tower by the Blood Ancestor in less than half a year after his Northern Hunt. Cain wished he could kill a Blood Ancestor for fun.
"Your Highness, please do not be impatient."
An elder patiently persuaded Cain.
"Your Highness, His Majesty the Blood Ancestor may be attempting to break through to the Supreme Realm. If His Majesty succeeds, the Blood Clan will be secure for generations to come. However, if His Majesty fails, it will be safer for you to remain within the forbidden area..."
"Safety?"
Cain sneered.
"For whose safety? For the old man's own safety! He's just afraid I'll launch a sneak attack and seize his position as Blood Ancestor!"
The elder asked helplessly,
"If you had the chance outside, would you launch a sneak attack?"
"Then I'll definitely launch a sneak attack!"
Cain is shameless and blatant.
What's there to hide?
Having successfully ambushed the Blood Ancestor, Cain became the Blood Ancestor and the most revered being among the vampires. There was absolutely no reason for him to hesitate!
The elder sighed.
"Therefore, you must go back and repair the tower."
That's the logic, but Cain was still unhappy.
He glanced at the list of newly promoted guards and spotted a strange name among them.
"Dracula?"
Cain pointed to a name.
“There’s something fishy about this guy. I’ve transferred him to my side and put him on duty.”
"eccentric?"
The clan elder was somewhat surprised. What strange things could a mere marquis have?
"The strongest member of their clan is a duke; they are utterly worthless in terms of bloodline."
Cain said coldly.
"After slumbering for 1,600 years, he became an earl, and in less than two years, he became a marquis. If he's not strange, then who is?"
As he spoke, Cain’s gaze drifted forward and landed on a guard named Dracula.
Little bat, what kind of surprise will you bring me this time?
I'm so bored of repairing this dilapidated tower!
...
Two weeks later,
The forbidden area for tower construction.
"By order of His Highness Cain, starting immediately, human laborers shall be conscripted to participate in the construction of the tower!"
After the order was issued, a large number of laborers poured into the forbidden area for tower construction.
Humans have no status in this world; being a slave is one of the best outcomes for them.
Among the laborers, a woman followed the crowd blankly, repeatedly calling out a name.
“Della...the cook…”
Where are they?!
Lilith was completely unprepared for her presence here!
She woke up to find herself inexplicably gone from the castle and in the party.
