Chapter 245 Little friend, have you seen me before?

Because Afra had shown the appearance of the Lord to Leon, he was able to quickly identify which of the two men in the scene was the Lord.

Of course, even though he didn't know the appearance of the Lord beforehand, Li Ang was still able to recognize him because countless red lines composed of scarlet characters spread out from one of them, just like the red lines he had just touched.

'This number is a bit too exaggerated.'

Looking at the scene before him, he couldn't help but murmur to himself.

The Lord's full name is Argad Bertha, and his exact age is unknown.

Caius was not one of the first vampires of the Bertha clan, but was converted into a vampire later. However, according to him, he is already considered one of the older members of the clan.

As for where the previous members went...
After seeing the red line, Li Ang already knew the answer in his heart.

Just as he was recalling information about the Lord, the two figures in the scene made a new move.

The handsome man with an eerie appearance stood up, and then a black and red mist suddenly spread from his body, enveloping the two of them.

After doing all this, he looked at the person in front of him: "That's enough. Afra and Gavin won't notice this [Hidden] place for the time being."

“You’re quite cautious.” The man speaking to Agard was a bald man covered in tattoos, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that certain key areas of his body were untattooed. “I’ve made all the necessary preparations. Those two won’t even realize that you and I have met before.”

At this moment, the tattooed man suddenly changed the subject: "But it's still better to be cautious, don't end up like me back then."

He shook his head slightly at this point and did not continue.

Upon hearing this, Argard's expression remained unchanged. He simply took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet behind him and said, "Want some? This contains some things I bought from Price at a high price."

"This tastes like the Moon Dew of the [Lord of the Feast]?"

The tattooed man was also a seasoned food connoisseur; he could identify the origin of a certain ingredient in the red wine simply by its smell.

Seeing that he did not refuse, Yagard took out a glass and poured a little wine into it; he was reluctant to pour too much of such a high-end wine.

However, Li Ang's eyes twitched involuntarily when he saw this scene.

Moon Dew also has a scientific name: menstruation. These two people certainly have some heavy tastes.

However, the "Master of the Feast"—if he remembered correctly, he was the seventh-level powerhouse behind the "Price Desire Group"—was someone he hadn't expected to sell something like this.

After tasting a sip of the Moon Dew from the Lord of Feasts, the two began to discuss serious matters.

Argad put down his wine glass and said with a slightly serious expression, "I've already looked at that document, and it was indeed useful to me."

"But it's not enough for me to take action; you need to give more."

Upon hearing this, the tattooed man shrugged: "No problem, it's just a deposit."

Seeing how readily he agreed, Agard couldn't help but smile slightly: "That's good. I just didn't expect my subsequent advancement would involve..."

And what?
Just as the tattooed man was about to ask a question, the vampire in front of him gestured for him to be quiet.

Argard frowned slightly, glancing at a spot in the room, and murmured to himself, "Is it just my imagination?"

From the very beginning, he felt as if someone was watching him from the shadows.

As a sixth-level vampire lord, he was quite certain that no one in the Obsidian Starfield could see through the [Hidden Mist], not even the two beings at the top of the starfield's power.

After a brief silence, Argard looked away and said to the tattooed man, "Let me make some preparations, and then we can talk in detail."

"."

At this moment, the tattooed man had already figured out what had happened from the vampire's reaction. He glanced around calmly and then nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Argad didn't waste any words and immediately began to use his own abilities.

Although his intuition told the vampire lord that his feeling was most likely an illusion, he still decided to be cautious.

After all, the following conversation would determine his future path, so no amount of caution would be excessive.

As Agard mobilized his accumulated blood over many years, the foul-smelling blood surged from the void, instantly transforming into a sea of ​​blood that swallowed the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, only two wine glasses with traces of red liquid remained in the luxuriously decorated office, proving that two people had been conversing there not long ago.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Ang's eyes: "We've been discovered?"

He had originally thought that the red line on Caius's body was linked to a scene from the past, but he never imagined it would be something happening right now.

He had heard what Argard had just said. This vampire lord's ability to conceal himself was truly remarkable. If Caius hadn't had such a deep connection with him, even the Great Luo Insight might not have been effective.

As for now
Looking at the sea of ​​blood flashing with countless figures in the scene, Li Ang reached out and touched the red line in front of him that was submerged in it. Then his gaze began to follow the red line into the sea of ​​blood.

However, this time, only Argard's incredibly cold and handsome face appeared on the screen: "...You've come uninvited, which is rather impolite of you."

"."

To suffer.

Li Ang's heart sank. Could this vampire lord see him?
Fortunately, he soon realized that the other party was most likely bluffing.

The reason is simple: Agard did not look directly at him; his gaze shifted significantly.

Upon noticing the anomaly, Li Ang did not reply, but silently watched the handsome man, wanting to see how he would perform.

Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Yagad's thin eyebrows furrowed into a "川" shape.

If his initial experience outside the sea of ​​blood could be explained by illusion, he was now quite certain that someone was lurking in the shadows, watching him.

Just now, he vaguely sensed a pair of large hands moving a certain thread.

'When did this kind of being appear in the Obsidian Starfield? Is it a newly ascended sixth-level being? Or an outsider?'

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Agard's mind in an instant.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"It seems you need my help."

As soon as the words were spoken, a huge, ferocious hand reached into the frame from who-knows-where.

Just as the hideous hand was about to cover the screen, it suddenly froze in mid-air.

Realizing the spy had left, the tattooed man, who now had an arm that had mysteriously appeared on his back, raised an eyebrow: "They ran away?"

He didn't even have time to sense the other party's presence. This was the first time such a situation had occurred. He knew that those who dared to spy on him before had all met with less than pleasant ends.

"tsk"

With a slight pout of regret, the tattooed man retracted his arm behind his back into his body.

Meanwhile, Argad, standing to the side, had a slightly gloomy expression, and the sea of ​​blood beneath his feet was surging with his emotions.

He even made such a boastful promise, but in the end, he needed his partner to bail him out.

More importantly, the vampire lord had no idea who was spying on him from the beginning. Fortunately, his conversation with the tattooed man hadn't revealed much information.

'It shouldn't be those two, otherwise I'd probably be dead by now.' Thinking this, Argard breathed a slight sigh of relief. 'But who could it be?'

He didn't think the person spying on him was a stranger; it was definitely someone with whom he had a past conflict.

Fortunately, most of them had already been turned into blood slaves by him, so it wasn't too difficult to investigate them.

Recalling the gaze that had made him feel extremely uncomfortable, Argard couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

The vampire lord vaguely sensed an extremely dangerous quality in that gaze, but unfortunately, he couldn't discern it. "Now that the obstacle is gone, shouldn't we be able to continue?"

At that moment, the tattooed man's voice brought Agadera back to reality.

He took a deep breath to control his emotions, then regained his composure and gave a perfectly timed smile: "Of course."

He'd deal with the spying later; for now, the most important thing for him was the upcoming negotiations.

No one can stop him from taking the next step.

No!

……

the other side.

As Li Ang voluntarily stopped spying, his gaze began to descend until it finally returned to the laboratory.

Seeing Caius's body still lying quietly on the workbench, he couldn't help but sigh.

As expected, the Great Luo Cave View makes one want to become a voyeur.

It's all Gu Jiting's fault!

Fortunately, he didn't come away empty-handed. At least based on the conversation between Argard and the tattooed man, he could tell that the other party probably wouldn't be able to attend to what was happening in a remote area like Morabis for the time being.

As for what this vampire lord actually wanted to do, Li Ang didn't intend to delve into it, since it was unlikely to affect him anyway.

Moreover, without Caius as a medium, it would be impossible for him, with his current strength, to spy on a sixth-level professional over a great distance.

After calming himself down, Li Ang continued modifying Caius, since the corpse would soon be cold if he didn't act soon.

As time went by, the once tidy laboratory was gradually stained with blood.

Li Ang was prepared for this, after all, when he made Christine into a [pseudo-Servant] last time, these vampires showed an extremely exaggerated amount of bleeding.

A black-and-white android maid carrying a bucket of water moved back and forth in the laboratory, constantly cleaning the blood-stained floor, and every now and then a maid would wipe away Li Ang's sweat.

As a third-level profession, the "Living Puppet Master" still struggles to deal with fifth-level corpses.

Fortunately, with the help of several other professional support characters, Li Ang was able to barely manage.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally completed the modification of Caius's corpse, which was also the first fifth-level [Pseudo-Servant] he created.

Looking at the black-haired vampire in front of him who seemed to be asleep, Li Ang took off his gloves with the help of the android maid, and then extracted Caius's soul from [Amenominaka].

Before the former executive of Secret Blood Company could react, Li Ang cast the third spell on him and then stuffed him into the body.

A moment later, Caius slowly opened his eyes.

He stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling for a moment.

Just then, a completely emotionless voice entered his ears.

"come over."

Upon hearing this, Caius shuddered and instantly came to his senses, quickly getting up and standing in front of the voice's owner.

"How does it feel?"

When asked, the black-haired vampire truthfully recounted his feelings.

Apart from the significant decline in his skills making him somewhat unaccustomed to it, there were no other problems.

Upon hearing his answer, Li Ang first instructed the android maid to record and archive the experimental data, then said, "From now on, you will need to serve my brother as you would serve me, understand?"

He was going all out of his act, and having come this far, he naturally wouldn't mind taking an extra layer of insurance.

Upon hearing this, Caius quickly lowered his head: "Yes, Lord Norton."

".snort."

After leaving behind a cold snort that frightened the black-haired vampire, Li Ang vanished without a trace.

Even so, Caius still dared not raise his head.

Only after confirming that Li Ang had really left did he gradually relax his tense body.

Feeling his current state, Caius wore an extremely complicated expression.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; you have to give something to get something.

In order to break free from the blood pact, he willingly became the dog of another powerful being; it would be strange if the two were essentially no different.

Having spent so many years with the Bertha tribe, Caius knew all too well what would happen if he continued down this path; rather, he had often been influenced by the Lord over the years.

And now?

As Caius savored the mental relaxation, his eyes welled up with tears.

Farewell, cage!

Just as he was feeling melancholy, a maid stepped forward and gestured for him to follow.

Seeing this, Caius quickly followed.

No matter what his fate may be in the future, it's better than continuing to stay by the Lord's side.

Meanwhile, in the governor's mansion on the other side, Li Ang once again disguised himself as an ordinary fourth-level being.

He still needed to deal with Caius's follow-up matters; he couldn't just turn him into a [Pseudo-Servant] and then abandon him.

At that moment, Karina suddenly approached him.

"Master, Master Ize has arrived on Morabis Star and hopes to meet with you."

Having learned his lesson last time, this fourth-tier alchemist is now behaving very respectfully, partly due to the influence of [Dual Hands].

Upon hearing her words, Li Ang nodded slightly and said calmly, "I understand. Go and make the arrangements. The location is at the Governor's Mansion."

"Yes."

However, after watching Karina leave, Leon couldn't help but frown.

Strange. He couldn't detect Master Ize's aura. Logically speaking, the aura of a sixth-order alchemist should be quite conspicuous under the [Principle of the Cycle of Changes] and [Qi Regulation].

'Never mind, we'll find out what's going on when we meet.'

With that in mind, Li Ang sent a message to Sophia.

Just to be on the safe side, he felt it was necessary to take some precautions beforehand.

Because it concerned the planetary governor and the alchemist, Li Ang did not have to wait long before he met Master Ize.

But when he saw the other person in person, he was suddenly startled.

Seeing the young dragon pause slightly in its movements, the bald man covered in tattoos immediately revealed a kind smile.

"What? Little kid, you know me?"
