Finding that she didn't feel anything special, she took two more sips.
Sophia's voice reminded her that although vampires could drink the lake water, they had to do so gradually.
Anna stopped drinking water and began wandering the mountains again. Sophia's voice continued to guide her, telling her where there were fruits that vampires could eat. Anna searched for the fruits while tears streamed down her face.
She had no idea how long it had been since she had eaten anything other than blood food. As a vampire, she didn't even dare to drink water. Given the common sense of vampires, she had never even dared to think about eating anything other than blood food.
Is she really able to eat anything else now?
She found the fruit tree Sophia had mentioned, and thinking that even if she didn't eat it, she would be killed by Dracula sooner or later anyway, she might as well give it a try, so she picked the fruit and ate it.
...
In the middle of the night, Sophia sensed magical fluctuations all around her, the kind only powerful wizards possess. Following these fluctuations, she arrived at Chu Nian's room and discovered that she was casting another powerful, long-lost spell: Sound Spirit.
She heard the voice coming from the magic, and it sounded so familiar. After listening for a while, she finally realized what was happening and angrily said, "Nian, you're using my voice to talk to Anna!"
Chu Nian was standing by the window; direct contact with the outside world would allow her magic to travel further and have a stronger effect.
Upon hearing Sophia's voice, she turned and smiled, "Yes, that way Anna will be more likely to believe you."
Sophia asked with a grim face, "What were you saying to Anna?"
Chu Nian: "I was telling her how to escape Dracula's men and how to find food that would keep her alive."
Sofia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little suspicious: Had she really not used her voice for anything bad, but instead helped Anna? She asked, "Where is Anna now?"
Chu Nian: "She has successfully entered Mount Alsino."
Sofia: "Is that the mountain you requested to be opened to the public? The towering mountain range behind the royal court?"
Chu Nian nodded.
Sophia asked in bewilderment, "Is there really food in there that can help vampires grow and sustain them for a long time? And can it even improve their bodies so they can eat human food?"
Chu Nian: "Yes."
Sophia said with some worry, "If the vampires continue to grow stronger, then our wizard clan will probably suffer."
Chu Nian laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? When our ancestors created the three races, they also created a system in which the three races checked and balanced each other. So, as the vampire race grows stronger, the other two races will also gradually grow stronger. You must understand that even humans are constantly evolving and have never remained unchanged."
Sophia thought about it and agreed, saying, "By the way, you said you wanted to cast the teleportation spell on Dracula, when do you start?" She became noticeably excited as she spoke.
Chu Nian said somewhat helplessly, "I just cast a powerful spell to help Anna escape death. How strong do you think my magical power is to be able to cast two powerful spells in one night?"
So, somewhat sullenly, So we'll have to wait until tomorrow?!
Chu Nian: "Actually, you can also try casting this spell. Didn't I tell you the method of magic's power and the incantation a long time ago?!"
Sophia hesitated for a moment before saying, "Is my magical power... enough? The opponent is Dracula."
Chu Nian: "How will you know if you don't try?"
Sophia pondered, "What if the magic fails?"
Chu Nian said, "This magic mainly benefits one party and harms the other. If the magic fails, it may cause some aftereffects to both the beneficiary and the victim. However, the nature of these aftereffects depends on the mistakes you make during the casting of the magic. But I think that with your level of magical power, casting this magic shouldn't be a big problem." After saying that, she patted Sophia on the shoulder and gave her a "be confident" look.
Sophia thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Chu Nian said, "Yes, let's give it a try! Anyway, even if there are side effects, it won't be you, so what are you worried about?!"
An hour later, Anna, who was wandering by the Salt Blood Lake, felt her heavy body become lighter and her movements much easier. She unconsciously looked down at her reflection in the lake and was pleasantly surprised to find that she had regained her youthful appearance, and most of the weight gain caused by aging had also been recovered, and her body had become slender again.
Dracula, having just finished washing up, stared at his obese and ugly body in the mirror, utterly unable to believe it was him. He wanted to go out and call for help, order his men to bring Anna back, order them to kill that Nen, and order them to quickly find the wizard in the manor who had cast the spell—he wanted to tear them all to pieces!
However, reason quickly prevailed. If his people knew that the incomparably handsome and immortal Dracula had become like this, what authority would he have left in their eyes?
He couldn't let anyone know that he had become like this.
He thought that vampires had many affairs to attend to, and he had just finished bathing and washing up, which was why no one had come to disturb him. He was sure that someone would come knocking on the door soon.
Sure enough, just as the thought crossed his mind, there was a knock on the door, followed by Lan Jia's voice: "Your Majesty, Duke Albert has come to discuss the ownership of the western Kamarin." This was a territory that the vampires had just seized from the werewolves.
Dracula tried to keep his voice normal and said, "I have some business to attend to these few days and will have to leave. Pass down the order that all matters concerning the vampires will be temporarily handled by Albert."
Lan Jia paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes." When King Dracula was away from the vampire clan, he usually entrusted his affairs to Albert, who could be considered the king's right-hand man.
However, this is a turbulent time for the vampires, and the king is not staying at the royal court but has left on business. What important matter could have made the king leave at this time?
Although Lan Jia was puzzled, he dared not ask any further questions and hurriedly went to relay the order.
Dracula left through the window, taking advantage of the deep night to set off at full speed, rushing towards Mount Alsino like the wind. He hoped to find a way to break the spell from that cave of origin.
With his powerful blood energy as the first vampire king, his flying skills were unmatched among vampires, and his speed was incredibly fast. He quickly penetrated deep into the Alsinor Mountains.
Unexpectedly, when he flew to a light red lake that he often encountered when entering the mountains, his blood energy suddenly broke, causing him to lose the ability to continue flying and fall directly to the lake shore with a thud.
Anna, who was overjoyed at regaining her youth by the lake, was bending over to look at her reflection in the water, admiring her hard-won youthful appearance.
