My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

"So, which category do you belong to?"

Lin Mo remembered Ye Zimo saying that she seemed to belong to Toredor, which meant she was a Western vampire.

“My father was the third-generation leader of the Torredor family, and my mother was the only daughter of the Ye family. We were a product of a marriage between Eastern and Western vampires, which helped consolidate the family’s position in the Camarilla.”

Ye Zimo put down her comic book and looked at Lin Mo.

Chapter 59 Vampires and Wizards

“I also have another name, Lilith Torredor. The name Lilith holds a supreme position in the family. Lilith is the name of the Primordial Witch, who granted us vampires the power of immortality.”

Ye Zimo seemed quite excited when she first talked to Lin Mo about her family. Even though vampires are usually arrogant, they still held the Primal Witch in great awe.

"So you're mixed race."

Lin Mo confirmed his guess; Ye Zimo was indeed of mixed race.

"... "

Ye Zimo did not answer. Vampires are a race that values ​​pure bloodlines. Because she was a mixed-race, she was bullied by her family members a lot when she was young, until she showed amazing talent and power, making everyone realize that she was the future hope of Tordor.

"What families are there in the East?"

As a native of the country, Lin Mo naturally wanted to learn more about the history of vampires in the East.

"The four major families: the Ying family, the Ye family, the Zhang family, and the Xiang family."

Ye Zimo picked up a cup of coffee, took a sip, and put it back on the small coffee table. "But their population is small, and they don't like to have offspring like the 13 families do."

Aside from the Ying and Xiang families, who briefly rose to prominence in history, the Zhang and Ye families, two of the four great Eastern families, are even more secretive. Like the Western Secret Society, they strictly adhere to the principle of seclusion.

"What is the Secret Palace?"

Lin Mo continued asking questions. He carried a chair and sat down next to Ye Zimo, thinking that he might as well learn about vampires today, which would help him draw them into his comics later.

"The vampires are divided into the Camarilla, the Demon Party, and the Neutral Party. The four major vampire clans in the East have established a separate party called the Secret Palace. The Secret Palace's rules are very similar to those of the Camarilla, both requiring strict adherence to the Seclusion Treaty. At the same time, the Secret Palace is the highest vampire law enforcement agency in the East."

“I am also subject to the restrictions of the Secret Temple. The sacred artifacts of my clan were once crafted with the help of the wizards of the Secret Temple.”

Ye Zimo glanced at Lin Mo indifferently.

"Huh? A wizard from the Secret Temple? Do vampires have wizards too?"

Lin Mo touched his chest. The sacred artifact should be here. It was well integrated with his heart. If he took it out rashly, he didn't know if it would cause immediate harm.

"No, becoming a vampire will cause you to lose your witch power. You cannot have the identities of a wizard and a vampire at the same time. However, almost every major family has a long-term cooperative wizard family with whom they have a pact and become allies."

Ye Zimo took another sip of coffee.

"Ally, I remember you said my ancestor saved you, so is my family your ally?"

Lin Mo stared intently at Ye Zimo, wondering if it was truly a long-standing friendship between powerful families.

"No, your family has only produced one outstanding wizard, your ancestor. After that, they were all mediocre and did not qualify to form a contract with our family."

Ye Zimo's arrogance was not concealed in the slightest.

"... "

Lin Mo broke out in a sweat, feeling that Ye Zimo was going to kill the conversation.

"But wizards are also a powerful force. All the changes that have occurred in the world are inseparable from wizards."

Ye Zimo took out a comic book on the bookshelf that was a complete encyclopedia of monsters. These were monsters from human imagination, and they were very different from the monsters that actually existed.

But that didn't stop Ye Zimo from using it to explain things to Lin Mo.

"When our millennium holy war broke out, the witch clan also broke out in a war for orthodoxy. The witch power overflowed, causing countless animals to mutate and forming the first demons. The demon race continued to evolve and developed its own civilization and order, but their numbers were ultimately small, and they could only hide in human society."

"So monsters were also created by wizards?"

Lin Mo stroked his chin. So, wizards are the origin of all supernatural powers. They not only created vampires, but also indirectly created monsters.

From Ye Zimo, Lin Mo learned that monsters were merely unintentional to the wizards and were not used by them. Most of them would even cause harm to human society, so most of the wizards took it upon themselves to exorcise monsters.

After the Witch Clan, different professions emerged, such as Insect Masters, Exorcists, Mages, and Demon Hunters. Due to their different philosophies, they took on their own forms and were no longer managed by the Witch Clan's extended family.

In the Eastern Dynasties, the priests, high priests, and high priests were all shamans.

However, wizards do not live long, which may be related to the fact that their actions violate natural laws and that they have few offspring.

Basically, every prestigious vampire family has a long-term partner wizard family. The vampires provide them with blood that prolongs their lifespan, and the wizards create various magical artifacts for the vampires, such as the Ring of Light.

The vampires possess 25 sacred artifacts. Apart from the original thirteen sacred artifacts, the other artifacts were all crafted by wizards. Therefore, the proud vampires did not include the other artifacts in the orthodox category of sacred artifacts, but each artifact is extremely powerful.

Most members of the vampire clan only see wizards as their subordinates and do not respect them. They consider themselves nobles, wizards as servants, and the demons indirectly created by wizards as aliens, while ordinary humans are ants.

Their pride largely stems from their strength.

After Lilith, there was no witch who could rival the vampires, and the decline of the witch clan was also the reason for this ingrained mindset.

Although Ye Zimo always claims to be a member of the Rose Family, she actually prefers Eastern culture and has stayed in China for many years. Even without considering the family's wealth, she has accumulated a lot of personal assets.

Perhaps due to her exceptional talent, she spent most of her time not cultivating, but learning various human skills, such as nuclear bomb making, scientific experiments, virus research, sculpture, Go, piano, drama, painting, soprano singing, poetry, conducting, racing, carpentry, sewing, cooking, spray painting, repair, slaughtering, blacksmithing, massage, nail art... She basically learned them all, and was also very interested in various natural sciences.

Because of her diverse interests and hobbies, she has lived a very fulfilling life even without being in a romantic relationship throughout the long years.

But when you do something too well, you inevitably get bored because you're invincible. Just like ordinary people, Ye Zimo became obsessed with games and watching anime, and couldn't extricate herself from the life of a homebody.

During the time Lin Mo spent with her, he had already gained a general understanding of her preferences.

At the very end of the conversation, Ye Zimo finally mentioned the purpose of the discussion.

“The sacred artifact is of paramount importance to the family. No third person should know that I used the sacred artifact to save you.”

As soon as Ye Zimo finished speaking, Xiao Ju popped her head out and pointed to herself.

Ye Zimo raised an eyebrow and said, "No fourth person can know."

Lin Mo understood the meaning behind Ye Zimo's words: to keep the secret of the sacred artifact, three secrets had to be kept.

First, the sacred artifact is within one's own body.

Secondly, the sacred artifact was activated by its own bloodline, allowing it to absorb other non-natural forces.

Third, the fact that Ye Zimo has temporarily lost her power must also be kept secret, otherwise it will inevitably lead people to associate it with the sacred artifact.

Suancaiyu's phone suddenly rang.

Lin Mo answered the phone, and on the other end came Fat Tiger's roar.

"Brother Dog, you're actually taking a month off without even telling me? Do you still consider me, Fat Tiger, your brother?"

"That's right, you've actually forgotten our traditions!"

Li Qi's voice also rang out, clearly indicating that the two had planned to come together to confront each other.

Chapter 60 Farewell

Lin Mo sighed helplessly and looked at Ye Zimo.

Although Ye Zimo's abilities have deteriorated, she still possesses the body of a vampire, and her hearing is naturally better than that of a normal person. In addition, Li Qi and Pang Hu were practically shouting at the top of their lungs, so she roughly understood the situation.

She gave Lin Mo an OK sign, "Leave it to me."

It's time to once again demonstrate the might of my vampire clan!

Ye Zimo stood up, wrote down a long list, and instructed Xiao Ju to buy the ingredients.

Lin Mo glanced at the list's title, "Manchu Han Imperial Feast Recipe Ingredient List," which even specified the exact number of grams of onions to buy.

Vampire is such a meticulous person... Lin Mo couldn't help but swallow. Actually, there was no need to go to such lengths. At worst, he could just treat his two friends to a meal outside.

Ye Zimo's Manchu Han Imperial Feast was truly authentic and a complete recreation of the original, after all, she had once worked as a palace maid for Empress Dowager Xi for a period of time when she was bored.

Compared to the intricacies of the imperial palace, she felt that the struggles between the secret societies were simply too naive and too simple.

No factional struggles among vampires can compare to the intricate power struggles within the inner palaces of a great Eastern nation.

Human minds are the most complex and unpredictable, so it is perfectly correct for vampires to follow the seclusion pact.

Despite their immense power, the cunning of humankind must not be underestimated. Only by gaining the upper hand in wisdom can the vampire race achieve its perfect revival.

As a farewell dinner for Fatty Tiger and the others before he was about to leave school, this ton of Manchu Han Imperial Feast left them dumbfounded.

"Brother, which chef did you hire? Is this really necessary? Aren't you coming back from your hometown?"

Lin Xuan asked three questions in a row, leaving Lin Mo somewhat speechless.

"It's just ordinary food, nothing to brag about."

Ye Zimo said calmly, her face still expressionless, but her words revealed a stark contrast between the rich and the poor.

"Miss cooked this herself, please have a taste."

Xiaoju urged him on with an expectant look on her face.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony."

Steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, braised pork, braised duck, soy sauce chicken, cured meat, preserved pork belly, dried meat, sausage, assorted cold dishes, smoked chicken belly, steamed eight-treasure pork... 108 dishes, which one should you eat first?

Lin Mo, Lin Xuan, Xiao Ju, Li Qi, and Pang Hu suddenly all developed decision-making difficulties.

Ye Zimo slowly picked up the artificial blood disguised as red wine and drank it openly.

At times like these, she remains steadfast.

But red wine and a Manchu Han Imperial Feast really don't go well together!

"Damn it, I never thought my goddess lived right next door to you!"

"Damn it, it's all thanks to you that I got to visit a female classmate's house for the first time."

"Damn, this meat is so delicious."

"Damn it, Lin Gou, you actually want to take a month off, leaving us all all alone."

Li Qi and Pang Hu ate while complaining, as if even the most delicious food couldn't shut them up from their constant chatter.

On the contrary, the more delicious the food, the more jealous they became. How could Lin Mo be so lucky? Why did he have to be friends with Ye Ziming from a prominent family? And how come Ye Ziming's cooking skills were so good?

Lin Mo was clearly the most tragic of the three of them. He was of average height, average looks, average family background, had no parents, poor grades, and no luck with the opposite sex.

How come everything has changed in just two months since school started?
