Di Xiu looked at him without saying a word.
The old man scratched his head and leaned on his cane as he headed to the front desk.
There is no concept of possession in the Western Continent. Although he found it strange, he assumed that he had encountered some kind of stimulus that caused his personality to change drastically.
"If you don't want to laugh, then don't. That's fine too. Zhong, come with me."
The old man sat down, rummaging through the stacks of documents in his drawer while muttering to himself:
“Zhong, it’s good that your strength is improving, but don’t be too impatient. Being eager for quick success is not advisable… You’re already stronger than your father was at that age, so there’s no need to rush. Sigh, your family’s talisman was quite powerful, it’s a pity you were too young back then and didn’t learn it… Sorry, I’m bringing up your sad story…”
“Zhong, according to the latest news, a third-generation vampire has awakened. I wonder how much strength he has recovered. Third-generation vampires have always been arrogant and restless. Humans and vampires will fight again sooner or later. You should grow up well. Whether you can continue to maintain this peace depends on you juniors.”
Emperor Xiu asked, "Why do we need to maintain peace? Can't we just wipe out the vampires?"
The old man stopped what he was doing, looked up at him, and chuckled, "It's not that easy, Zhong. You have the wrong mindset. You can never underestimate your enemies, or you'll ruin yourself."
“I know.” He paused, then continued to ask the old man, “If the vampires were wiped out, would it affect the balance of this world?”
The old man shook his head: "The vampires cannot be wiped out."
"Why?"
"Vampires possess eternally youthful and beautiful appearances, and endless life. Humans will always fall into their trap one after another. Unless we can wipe them out in one fell swoop, they will eventually make a comeback."
Di Xiu frowned slightly and fell silent.
"Because of the Embrace?"
"Yes, temptation is not scary. What is scary is that as long as you are willing to give up something, such as light, you can easily achieve your wish. There are always many people who do not cherish light."
Seeing that he was no longer speaking, the old man lowered his head and continued searching for documents. He pulled out a sheet from a pile of papers, glanced at it, and placed it in front of Di Xiu.
"I knew I remembered correctly. There is indeed a mission here that is still in the exploratory stage. The initial estimate is that it is in the range of fourth to sixth generation. There is no fixed hunting spot, but it is usually in the wild. Zhong, if you can't beat them, don't force it. Remember to run. Staying alive is more important than anything else."
