In the villa of Odra's family, Emlyn met Casimi, who was also a baron.

This vampire in his "prime" age is the spokesperson for Nibais Odra.

I am also a baron, and I just came of age not long ago... Emlyn muttered to himself, stood up from the sofa in the living room, and bowed to the other party:

"Good evening, Baron."

Just as Cassimy was about to speak, his nose twitched suddenly, and his eyes turned to the wooden box that Emlyn placed at his feet:

"The smell of blood?"

As he wondered, he seemed to have thought of something, and after a second of hesitation, he added:

"You hunted down another target?"

Emlyn smiled and shook his head:

"No."

Then, before Casimi could ask, his smile deepened and he said:

"Not one, but two."

Two? The middle-aged gentleman Casimi was stunned for a moment, watching Emlyn bend down, pick up the wooden box, and open the lid.

During this process, Emlyn's facial muscles were slightly trembling and twisted, because during this series of movements, he touched the wound on his right hand.

Emlyn restrained his expression and lowered his arms slightly, tilting the wooden box forward and downward, exposing the contents completely to the sight of the vampire baron opposite him:

Two blood-stained and charred heads were stuffed side by side in a pile of old newspapers, with two heart-like translucent objects dotted next to them, one bright red and the other dark red, almost black.

This scene with a strong visual impact caught Casimi's eyes. He raised his head in surprise and looked at Emlyn in astonishment. He blurted out:

"You did it?"

Although he could only identify that one of the heads belonged to Galis Kevin, the extraordinary characteristics of the two "vampires" could not be false!

Emlyn put down the wooden box, let his right hand fall naturally, and swung it slightly at the edge of his trousers. Then he responded with a smile on his face:

"certainly.

"It's like this. After I received the 7,000 pounds reward last time, I bought a baron's 'legacy' at a Beyonder gathering, and used it to advance my rank.

"I don't want to use money to satisfy the killers who hunt our blood race, but I don't want to see this 'legacy' fall into the hands of others. Besides, the traffickers are not necessarily the hunters."

Taking this opportunity, Emlyn told the public that he had become a "baron", and every word he said was true.

This was a technique he had learned at the Tarot Club.

I already knew you were a baron. Do you think you could hide your frequent purchases of spiritual materials and borrowing and studying books on potions from our eyes? If it weren't for some factors, we would have called you over to ask... I'm surprised that with your combat skills, and the fact that you don't even have a magical item and only want to buy dolls, even if you're a baron, it's impossible for you to easily hunt two artificial vampires without causing a big commotion... Even for me, I have to make full preparations in advance and have detailed intelligence to be able to do it... When no one noticed, Emlyn was so powerful? Cassimy Odra couldn't help but complain a few words in his mind, and said with a fake smile:

“So that’s how it is.

"Emlyn, why did you hide it before? Don't you want to be addressed as Baron by other vampires?"

Emlyn glanced at the expression of the vampire opposite him, raised his chin slightly and said:

“I was just planning to tell you all, but then I came across this hunting competition, so I thought I’d give you a surprise.

"Casimi, I have successfully hunted down three followers of the 'Original Moon', and you only gave me five targets. Does this mean that I have won?"

He could not wait to change his address from Baron to Casimi.

Casimi's eyelids twitched and he laughed:

"Yes, that's right. You don't have to worry about the remaining two goals. Leave them to Russ Bathory and the others. This way, they can get some consolation rewards."

At this point, Kasimir felt that he seemed too cold, and hurriedly said:

"You're not hurt?"

"It's just a minor injury." Emlyn raised his right arm and stretched out his fingers.

Frankly speaking, the most serious injury he suffered during tonight's hunting operation was actually caused by him scratching his skin and blood vessels after being teleported out of the East District and smearing the cover of "Lemanno's Travel Notes" with his blood.

Casimi was unable to elaborate on this topic and remained silent for a few seconds before saying:

“Congratulations on winning this hunting competition. You will receive two prizes.

“First, if there is an opportunity to become a viscount in the clan in the future, you can directly enter the final list and receive free help with the ceremony.

"The second is to obtain a magical item. It is a ring made by the First Ancestor himself in ancient times. Although it does not contain divinity, it has very powerful and magical abilities. Because the First Ancestor did not name it, we all call it, 'Lilith's Ring'.

"Also, according to convention, these two extraordinary characteristics will belong to the entire vampire race. This way, perhaps two more newborns will be born, and you will get 3,000 pounds in cash in exchange."

A ring made by the first ancestor herself...Emlyn was a little disappointed that the reward was not the extraordinary characteristic of "Viscount", but only a candidate opportunity and a free ceremony, but the ring made by the first ancestor of the blood clan, Lilith, was enough to make up for everything.

For a vampire with a strong sense of racial pride, this is the highest symbol of honor!

After his joy subsided a little, Emlyn, who had attended many Tarot gatherings and completed two hunts, vaguely felt that things were not that simple.

I was sent to Mr. Fool by the First Ancestor, and now I have obtained a ring from the First Ancestor. Is this too much of a coincidence? Emlyn thought for a while, but could not get an answer. He could only decide to pray to Mr. Fool and tell him the whole story to see what this being would say.

Seeing that Emlyn did not speak for more than ten seconds after his joy subsided, Casimi cleared his throat and said:

"The ring and the cash will be given to you tomorrow night.

"When the time comes, I will gather Russ Bathory and the others, publicly announce that you have won the hunting competition, and then give you the ring."

“No problem.” Although Emlyn had little experience in similar matters, he knew that the “prize” could not be given privately and must be given in front of all the contestants.

Without staying any longer, he said goodbye and left Odra's villa and got into a rented carriage.

As the carriage slowly moved, Emlyn looked at the crimson moon hanging quietly in the sky. His mood gradually calmed down. He couldn't help but recall the details of today, and summed up a lot of experience and lessons from them.

Finally, he calculated how many extraordinary abilities he needed to record in "Lemano's Travel Notes":

"I used 'Lightning Strike' five times, all of which are used up... I also used 'Teleport' once, 'Open Door' once, and 'Astrology' once... A total of eight times, and I have to pay two more times, which means ten times.

"This is a bit difficult. Some extraordinary abilities cannot be recorded, like my self-healing ability... I can only repeat it... Hehe, when I get the ancestor's ring, I can try to record its extraordinary abilities..."

…………

“Lilith’s Ring?” Above the gray fog, in a palace that looked like a giant’s residence, Klein sat on the high-backed chair corresponding to The Fool, pondering the content of Emlyn White’s prayer.

He originally thought that he might be woken up in the middle of the night and have to help a vampire with little combat experience, but he didn't expect that Emlyn had finished everything before 11 o'clock and even "handed in" the mission.

Emlyn prayed to the Fool because the ancient goddess Lilith had given him a revelation... and now he has obtained the ring... no matter who this "Lilith" is, I must be on guard, and then observe the changes... Klein thought seriously for a few seconds, and responded to Emlyn's prayer in a low but calm voice:

"After that, you must take off the ring when you pray to me or attend meetings."

After explaining this matter, Klein returned to the real world. He no longer worried about being woken up in the middle of the night and slept until dawn.

After breakfast and a rest, he waited for his etiquette teacher Vahana to come and give him special training for the dance party to be held at his home at the weekend.

With her black hair tied up and her skirt swaying, Wahana led Dwayne Dantes from the opening dance, familiarizing herself with the entire process.

In the gentle and soothing music, the etiquette teacher suddenly said:

"I heard that Lady Mary visited you yesterday afternoon?"

"Yes." Klein nodded calmly while sighing that there were no secrets in this neighborhood when it came to interpersonal relationships.

Wahana nodded slightly, and after two seconds of silence, she said:

“I heard that Madam Mary pledged all her shares to the bank and borrowed a large sum of money.”

This is a reminder for me to be careful and not fall into a possible scam... The help I provided before not only allowed me to quickly enter the social circle of Boklund Street, but also brought me a steady stream of subsequent returns... However, Madam Mary pledged her shares in order to secretly absorb more shares... Klein listened quietly and smiled gently.

"Thanks."

He paused and added:

“I believe in the character of every friend, but in the business world, prudence and caution always come first.

"I have asked Walter to hire an independent lawyer and accounting team, who will conduct a detailed and responsible investigation and come up with a plan that best protects my interests and avoids taxes.

“I won’t make any decisions until then.”

Wahana half raised her head and looked into Dwayne Dantès's deep blue eyes. Suddenly, she half sighed and half smiled and said:

"You are such a wise man."

Klein wanted to say that this was mature, but suddenly he remembered that Vahana's husband had been cheated out of fabric before, and only with his help did he recover most of the losses. Such a response would easily make the other party associate and make a comparison, which would be tantamount to mockery. So he changed his words in time and chuckled:

"My wisdom comes from the lessons I've learned."

"It's hard to imagine that you could be deceived." Wahana smiled and lowered her head, "Is it because you have experienced so much that you can appreciate the different charms of various types of ladies?"

This rumor won’t go away, right… Klein smiled helplessly:

“Every flower has its beauty.”

After becoming familiar with the entire process and the corresponding dance, Klein sent Wahana away and took his personal servant Richardson to visit Coim's Company in Cherwood District at the invitation of Lady Mary.
