Chapter 236 Scarlet Society
The black knight's profile was as clear as a sculpture.
Yeats looked at her black braids and pondered:
"Since King Solomon's seal ring can drive away the devil, hell and the church, why would they just ignore it? They should have taken it back long ago."
The distant mountains were shrouded in a thick fog, and black rain clouds were floating in the sky.
The Black Knight withdrew his gaze and said slowly: "This seal ring was lost together with the sword in the lake, but the clue of the sword in the lake appeared in Lundu, which means that the seal ring is very likely to appear together."
"Even I just learned about this news."
"Therefore, I need you to walk the courtyard and investigate the whereabouts of the signet ring—"
The Black Knight looked at Ye Zhi deeply, and immediately stated his position: "This seal ring with the [Power of Domination] should be destroyed. No matter what, it should not fall into the hands of anyone with ulterior motives!"
In the original plot, the Black Knight belonged to the neutral camp and followed the order. She asked herself to help investigate, with the ultimate goal of destroying the signet ring.
Yeats remained noncommittal.
If the seal ring really falls into my hands, there is no reason for me to destroy it.
"The power of domination, what is that?" Ye Zhi was a little concerned.
"You can understand it as the power that comes from the law."
The Black Knight paused for a moment and said, "The laws are not something I can touch, and I know very little about them."
“Once you take control of the laws, it will be extremely difficult for you to descend on the Central Court.” The Black Knight said, “This is exactly the biggest reason why the gods choose messengers to walk in the Central Court.”
Ye Zhi thought for a moment and said, "So, while I'm investigating the signet ring, I might encounter investigators sent by Hell and the Church?"
The Black Knight nodded and said, "It's not too late for you to regret now."
Ye Zhi said frankly: "That's not necessary."
There are only a few masters in the atrium.
Although facing the Five Rings Hero level is difficult, Ye Zhi has the confidence to escape even if he cannot defeat him.
On the other hand, Ye Zhi was very interested in the so-called [Power of Domination] of the Black Knight.
Laws may be a power higher than divinity.
Even if there is only a trace of aura left on the seal ring, it is enough to help me advance to the fifth ring! The risks are self-evident, but since I have the Silver Oak Sword and the Diamond Tooth with me, I do have the confidence to investigate the [King Solomon's Seal Ring].
"Leave this task to me." Ye Zhi's eyes were deep and bright.
The Black Knight looked at Yeats for a long while, and the corners of his handsome face slightly raised. The breeze blew her black hair, and a few strands of hair brushed across her cheeks. The Black Knight looked at the distant mountains calmly, and whispered in a prophetic voice: "The storm is coming, Yeats, hold on to your weapons, don't be blown down by the strong wind."
* Morningfrost Ridge, in the stable.
The old knight frowned and crossed his arms, listening to the braided girl complaining:
"Several elks in the deer farm have disappeared! Lord Phocas, I found their shrunken corpses on the mountain. All the blood had been sucked out of them!"
As she spoke, Lotta turned her head and looked towards Lisa's clinic.
Fokasi said in a deep voice: "Lotta, there must be evidence for everything."
"But who else would do this except the vampires?" Rota's eyes widened. "I have to report this to the Lord!"
A white horse came tramping over the ground, and Yeats's call came.
"What did you just say? What about the elk being lost?"
Phocas and Lota bowed immediately, and then Lota recounted what had just happened.
"Indeed, it's not just the reindeer. People have been missing in the territory recently. Irene and Serin are currently handling these matters." Fokas said, "Master, how about... asking Lisa?"
Yeats believed Lisa privately, but for official business purposes, he still invited Lisa to the lord's hall.
"It wasn't me." The pale red-haired girl walked into the hall and said straight to the point, "The refugees absorbed by Morning Frost Ridge may have mixed in with the vampires!"
"In my opinion, these vampires are members of the Scarlet Society. The missing civilians were probably killed by them!"
Lisa completely forgot her identity as a vampire and seemed filled with indignation.
"Aren't you also a vampire?"
Lotta muttered softly and was gently pulled by Fokasi beside her.
Yeats clearly saw that Lisa's face turned pale in an instant and her body trembled slightly as if she had been hit hard.
"There are also voluntary and forced vampires. It's not Lisa's fault that she got infected with scarlet fever." Ye Zhi said calmly, "Even among the vampires, there are friends who can be won over, and Lisa is someone I trust."
Lotta was slightly stunned, as if thinking about something.
Phocas looked at Yeats in surprise... The young master has increasingly shown the demeanor of a leader by trusting his subordinates.
Lisa was stunned for a moment, a glimmer appeared in her eyes, and she looked at the lord with gratitude.
Ye Zhi nodded and said, "Let's talk about the Scarlet Society you just mentioned."
"As you command, Lord..."
According to Lisa, the Scarlet Society is a secret organization founded by a group of vampires in the human kingdom who believe in the Blood Lord.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Its mission is to expand the association to various territories, like an ever-expanding spider web.
Its ultimate goal is to overthrow the human kingdom and rebuild a kingdom belonging to the vampires. All major kingdoms are shrouded in this shadow.
"Teacher Fina and I investigated the Scarlet Society and found out that a duke of the Golden Lion Kingdom might be a vampire. The believers called him the Blood Spider Duke."
Lisa looked lost. "While I was investigating the Blood Spider Lord, I was bitten by a blood bat and infected with Crimson Disease... and survived the onset of Crimson Disease, and eventually became a vampire."
"If I had known that I would eventually become a vampire, I would have rather died. But..." Lisa's eyes were slightly red. "Teacher, she didn't want to see me give up my life, so she didn't tell me the truth about scarlet disease... She said that even if I became a vampire, she would still be my teacher."
Ye Zhi comforted Fan Lisa and said immediately:
"According to what you said, the Scarlet Society is planning to 'weave a network' here in Morningfrost Ridge as well, and has specially sent vampires to infiltrate?"
Lisa exhaled and nodded, "It takes time for them to transform into blood servants, and they can't stop drinking blood, so there are victims."
Yeats fell into deep thought.
The Scarlet Society believes in the Blood Lord and is an organization that is even bloodier and more cruel than the Cult of Night.
Members of the Scarlet Society regard themselves as noble vampires superior to humans. They have a title system similar to that of humans, and the hierarchy is even more strict.
The vampire duke can kill the earl with just a brief command, and below the lowest level of the vampire clan, there are blood servants and blood food.
The Scarlet Society of Lunduli has gone through hundreds of years of development and has become deeply rooted. The Golden Lion King is willing to treat it but the disease is difficult to cure.
The "Scarlet Society" in Morning Frost Ridge is suspected to have appeared not long ago and must be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid endless trouble.
Yeats patted his chair and stood up.
These vampires who came to Morningfrost Ridge...are already dead! "Do you have a way to find them?" Ye Zhi looked at Lisa.
The first-level spell 'Detect Good and Evil' can be used to find out the identity of the vampire, but this is a low-level spell, and unless it is cast at a higher level, the high-level vampires can easily cover it up with some tricks.
The 'divinity of light' contained in Ye Zhi's Silver Oak Sword is extremely powerful in restraining vampires, and can even deal with vampire dukes.
The reason why he gave this task to Lisa was also to give her a chance to perform. If she could complete the task well, it would help her integrate better.
Lisa's expression became serious. "I followed Teacher Fina to track down the vampires and learned many ways to identify them. Give me three days, Lord, and I promise to find all the vampires in Morning Frost Ridge!"
"I'll let my magical pet go with you to avoid any accidents."
The Snow Owl is already a king-level magical beast, and its strength is also among the best in the northern province. With it by her side, Lisa's progress will be smoother.
Lisa felt a sense of responsibility for being trusted, and nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Lord!"
