Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 99 The Queen in the Diary
There was once a very knowledgeable mage of transmutation who conducted in-depth research on the habits of dragons.

Compared to a lizard, the great wizard thinks that the dragon is more like a cat, both in size and personality.

Any dragon has the curiosity of a cat.

The "Queen" mentioned by the vampire derivative undoubtedly aroused the curiosity of the Scroll Dragon.

Late at night, Nemesis walked down the stairs to the first floor of the tavern. At this time, the tavern had fallen into silence. Except for a few drunkards snoring at the table, the rest of the guests had already gone home.

Even the bartender, named "Stone", was taking a nap in a recliner behind the bar.

Nemesis sat down at the bar, took out a gold coin and placed it on the table. The round, upright coin rolled forward and fell to the ground inside the bar. The crisp sound of the collision woke the dwarf up.

The dwarf first opened his eyes in confusion, then looked around vigilantly, his muscles tense. He relaxed only after he saw that the person sitting at the bar was the guest who had checked in during the day.

He sat up from the recliner with sleepy eyes and asked with a tired voice, "It's so late, sir, do you want to drink more? The price will be doubled, which is my overtime pay."

Nemesis shook his head, pointed to a gold coin on the ground and asked, "I have something to ask you."

Although the power of the mind did not reveal any information, someone who might know part of the situation behind the scenes immediately appeared in Nemesis's mind.

It was the bartender in front of him.

The dragon's facial features are extremely sensitive, and most of the time, Nemesis can hear the slightest movement happening far away.

The same thing happened during the day today.

He seemed to be indifferent to his surroundings, but in fact he listened to every word everyone said, and the powerful visual memory stored it in the corner of his brain.

He looked impatient simply because he was not interested in those trivial matters. For a wizard dragon, due to his photographic memory, he already had too many useless junk memories. Most of the time when he experienced such junk memories, he would choose to filter them out or even ignore them.

He heard the bartender's reminder to Colette, heard it very clearly, and remembered it very clearly.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better not go out at night." The boy repeated.

He looked at the dwarf in front of him with his dim pupils and tilted his head, as if waiting for an explanation.

The bartender waited impatiently for a few seconds, and when he saw that the other party did not follow up, he said in a harsh voice: "What are you doing? Do I need your help?"

Juan Celong raised his eyebrows. Seeing that his intention was not understood, he continued to ask in an expanded way: "You said this. Why did you say that?"

The dwarf Stone didn't answer, but just waved his hand impatiently and prepared to go back to sleep.

Just as he was about to sit down, he heard the other party continue to ask.

"Have you seen those vampire spawn as well?"

The dwarf's pupils shrank, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the other party, and said with a hint of fear in his voice: "Have you seen her?"

Nemesis nodded.

"She just appeared in my room. I caught her and tried to get some information from her, but she died too quickly."

Upon hearing that the vampire was dead, the dwarf Stone's eyes lit up, then he sat down on the chair dejectedly and sighed.

"I first saw her twenty years ago. At that time, my brother and I had just arrived and opened this tavern in Greenery Town."

The dwarf's voice contained a hint of confusion, but also a hint of relief.

"I still remember that night, the moon was particularly round, just like today. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and heard some noise coming from my brother's room."

"I called my brother, but no one answered me, so I walked to the door of my brother's room, intending to knock on the door and ask what happened."

"But I didn't expect that the door was ajar. When I opened it, I saw my brother's pale body lying on the bed. A woman's back was squatting at the window and she jumped down."

"I went over and tried to wake my brother up, but all that was left was a corpse with every last drop of blood sucked out." The dwarf held his head in pain, his voice choked with sobs.

"The town guards didn't know what happened. My brother's body was taken away by the town guards in the morning and disappeared in the afternoon. I tried to tell others what happened, but no one believed me."

"I am the only one who knows that it was that monster, the evil vampire in the legend, who killed my brother."

Nemesis seemed to be thinking about something, which matched the vampire's monologue. She had been hunting passers-by here. When the dwarf brothers first arrived, she hunted one of them. After the other one settled down here, she did not kill him again.

It seems that the so-called "Queen" has absolute authority over these vampire derivatives.

"Have you ever heard of the term 'Queen'?" Nemesis asked curiously.

The dwarf Stone was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little unbelievable: "How do you know this word?"

Nemesis raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he had found the direction.

"I have indeed seen the word empress." "I have been secretly investigating the information of that monster for a period of time. I know that all vampires were once ordinary creatures. That monster must have once been a human being."

"I searched the town's library, information storage room, and even went to the church to conduct a secret investigation."

"I found a diary that once belonged to a nobleman from Greenfield Town fifty years ago."

"The Viscountess of Green Town at that time was Vanessa, and Vanessa was the former human identity of that monster!"

"How do you know for sure that Vanessa is the vampire's offspring?"

In response to Nemesis' question, the dwarf gave a wry smile, opened a large dusty box behind him, and took out a portrait from it.

Nemesis saw the name below the portrait, then looked at the face that was exactly the same as the vampire's, as well as the tattered gorgeous dress on the body, and was sure that it was her.

"The word empress was mentioned in that diary. Other than that, I don't know anything else."

"Give me that diary."

The dwarf was unusually not angry at the boy's commanding speech. He just looked at him silently for a while, took out a cowhide notebook and handed it to him.

"I hope you can kill more of these monsters. The more, the better." There was hatred in the dwarf Stone's voice, deep-rooted hatred.

Nemesis took the diary and chuckled, "I agree with this idea. If such an ugly creature dares to covet me, it should be prepared to be uprooted by me."

He is a very vengeful and petty dragon. Although Nemesis would not admit it, this is his greatest "advantage".

When they woke up in the morning, Loslien and Colette were furious to learn that a vampire spawn had dared to attack the Scroll Dragon. Colette immediately revealed her identity as Count Rosa and summoned the mayor of Green Town to question him.

"There is actually such a monster that has been entrenched in Green Town for decades and has been harming people. Mr. Mayor, I think your town guards are extremely derelict in their duty." Collette's face was cold and her tone was very bad.

The mayor's face was not good either. You are a count who came from nowhere, but you are not my count. Why should I listen to your scolding?

But he did not dare to retort, because he had just learned that this group of people were actually invited by the royal family to visit the capital. That made the situation very different.

Although in theory, this viscount only obeys the earl above him in name.

But in practice, the Inbutu royal family, as a royal family that has a place in the extraordinary world, has enough violent means to ensure that all nobles obey their arrangements.

If these people really have the final say in front of the royal family, then the viscount position that I just got would be in jeopardy.
Therefore, the aggrieved mayor had to act like a grandson in front of the earl who had nothing to do with him.

"Yes, you are right. I will definitely punish the captain of the town guard! But we really don't know about the vampire derivative. You don't know that I was only conferred the title of Viscount by Count Citibank more than ten years ago. Before that, I was not in Green Town at all!"

Collette snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving the mayor wiping his sweat with a swearing look on his face.

The convoy set off again. After the unexpected events of the night, they were in no mood to rest here for another day. Fortunately, the first victim of the vampire spawn was probably Nemesis, who was then killed, so that the mercenary group that Loslien had hired for thousands of gold coins suffered no losses.

Nemesis sat in the carriage, looking at the diary in his hand. He had finished reading it.

The first half of the diary is full of nonsense, telling the trivial daily life of this noble named Vanessa.

The second half is when things get interesting.

For example, one of them:
April 1453, 7, sunny.

The royal capital is so luxurious. Fortunately, I have the support of Mrs. Citigroup, so I have the opportunity to attend the socialite gatherings in the royal capital.

At the party today, that person was impressed by me. No, Vanessa, you have to be more diligent and make the most of this opportunity.

There is another one:
July 1453, 9, overcast.

That girl actually wrote to me and invited me to a small party she personally organized! Oh my God. Am I really going to be rich?

Immediately following:

July 1453, 9, overcast.

Oh my god, why is it like this, what have I done. Vanessa, what have you done. That person is innocent, how could I be so cruel.

But why did I feel a sense of pleasure when I slit his throat and watched his blood dripping?

Shantia, please forgive me.
July 1453, 10, overcast.

The sky is always so gray. Why didn't I notice before that the sky is always cloudy when I meet that person? Sure enough, everything free has a price that is secretly determined.

I am no exception.

The notes stopped here, and it was obvious from the last line that the author had written with great effort, even to the point of punching a hole through the second page of paper.

After that, the notebook was filled with meaningless scratches until Nemesis turned to the last page, where a few large scarlet characters formed a confusing sentence on the entire page.

"Queen! My perfect queen, you are the darling of the dark night and the destined slaughterer of the lambs. Please lead us and rule the land of Inbutu!"
