Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

"Well... I'll find an opportunity to sell this horse later. Maybe I can make a small profit." Lor patted the horse's neck gently, turned over and mounted its back, and couldn't help but praise his own financial acumen.

Although he is not short of money now, he accidentally earned more than 700 gold coins when attending the "tea party" a few days ago...but when it comes to money, the more the better.

What's more, although seven hundred gold coins is a huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary people, it is indeed not a lot of money for extraordinary people... Buy a few mid-level talismans and get one or two props with unique effects, and it will be spent in the blink of an eye.

Not to mention, there are two money-eating beasts at home, Isabella and Meimei.

Alas, it seems that I have to continue working hard to make money in the future.

However, first we have to deal with the sage from the Holy City and let the church come to a conclusion on the matter of the "Dragon Relics" and stop investigating.

Only by settling this matter could Lor no longer have any worries and boldly contact the "Golden Bones" far away in the Griffin Duchy, and then cash in the pile of ancient coins in his hand.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Ms. 19 has already handed the 'Crimson Conch' to that guy, right? The other conch that paired with it is currently stored in the warehouse of the Gordon City Church. I have to find an opportunity to get it...

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing. I haven't investigated the mirror chamber of 'Cleanup John' yet... The incident with Ferryman Miles happened a while ago, and now that the hype has died down, it's about time I went to investigate."

Lor silently reviewed the various matters that needed to be dealt with after returning.

Of course, the most important thing is to help Isabella improve her strength.

According to the information Lor obtained from the parish headquarters, there is a high possibility that a sixth-level vampire is lurking in a place only about three days away from Gordon City... For the eldest lady, this is a very suitable prey, and I will have to discuss it with her after returning home.

"I don't know, what is the young lady doing now?"

Lor unconsciously pulled the reins, causing the horse under him to accelerate further.

[Hmph, what else can she do? Just sleep!]

The wise voice in my head suddenly commented:

[It's not even noon yet. With that young lady's personality, she must still be in bed! Hey, Lor, Lor, I'm not saying anything harsh about you... Don't you think that the relationship between you two is very unequal?

[You run around all day, busy with this and that, racking your brains for her affairs, and even dealing with the terrifying existence of the 'mistress'... She, on the other hand, stays safely at home every day and doesn't have to worry about anything!

"This can't go on like this, Lor. You have to take care of this woman! Remember, you're the protagonist of this story, so you have to be tough!"

Hey, hey, stop joking around, okay?

Be tough on Isabella?

Then the next time she sucks my blood, I won't just be sucked half to death and that's it... I'm afraid there won't be a single drop left for me! Although we Holy Light transcendents have strong self-healing abilities, we are not immortal!

Lor was both angry and amused as he complained in his mind.

However, there is one thing to say...

I've been away from home for so long this time, Isabella must be getting horny and thirsty.

Suddenly I felt a little tingling on my scalp.

In addition, somehow, Lor always felt that something was wrong with what the "FLAG voice in the head" had just said... Especially the sentence that Isabella "stays at home safely every day and doesn't have to worry about anything."

According to this guy's usual style, this is probably also a sarcastic remark.

Could it be that something really happened to the young lady?

The ominous premonition lingered, and I suddenly felt a little panicked.

"No, we have to go back quickly!"

……

Up ahead is where Emmett is.

Isabella paused momentarily, her crimson eyes filled with wariness.

"Abandoned village? Hey, this doesn't look like a village at all. It's just a complete chaos..." She commented with a frown.

What I saw before me was an incredible scene.

A large number of broken bricks, stones and tiles were flying in the air in a way that defied gravity. Their movement trajectories were completely irregular. Sometimes they rose straight up, sometimes they turned abruptly, and sometimes they suddenly appeared and disappeared... What was even more bizarre was that the shapes and outlines of these debris were also changing all the time!

This means that the physical laws of this place have been distorted by some supernatural power.

And the nature of this power was all too familiar to Isabella.

"To create this effect, a lot of 'True Ancestor Blood' must be consumed, right? Moreover, it's a permanent consumption... Haha, this guy Emmett really spent a lot of money."

Literally.

At this moment, a fragmented figure suddenly appeared in the strange scene in front, as if reflected in a broken mirror.

It was barely possible to tell that he was a handsome and elegant man.

The blood prince, Emmett.

75. Similar People

"Nice to meet you, my dear sister." Emmett in the vision bowed slightly and spoke in a gentle tone.

His first impression is that he is quite elegant and gentlemanly.

"Who is your sister? Don't mess around with her!"

Isabella didn't appreciate it at all. She carefully kept a distance from Emmett and the strange scene he was in, and didn't approach easily:

"What the hell are you doing? You're actually allowing the power of the 'True Ancestor's Blood' to spread freely, even destroying the laws of physics and space in this area..."

"This is exactly the 'gift' I prepared for you, Isabella."

Emmett blinked and smiled.

"First, I want to thank you for not killing my family. Then, I want to apologize for secretly spying on your secrets... Let this gift today be considered as an apology.

"Don't you long to find and kill the True Ancestor Lilith, wipe out the power of the vampires from this world, and become human again? Come with me, I will take you to see her."

"Huh? Take me to see the True Ancestor?"

Isabella was stunned for a moment, her expression full of confusion, but she quickly understood what Emmett meant: "In other words... this distorted space you created is connected to the place where the True Ancestor Lilith is?"

She thought of the dark blue door that Lor had to pass through every time he attended a tea party.

Is it a similar principle?

Could it be that the place where the True Ancestor Lilith is sleeping is not in this world, but in a different space similar to the "domain" of the mistress of the Dark Moon Society?

"Your guess is not entirely correct."

Emmett, who looked shattered in the vision, continued, "The place I'm taking you to isn't where she is, but a dream... the dream of True Ancestor Lilith."

"Dream?"

"That's right. She fell asleep, and those who sleep exist in a world called 'Dreams'."

Emmett explained faintly:

"We are connected by blood to the True Ancestor Lilith. Even though she has temporarily left us, as her children, we can still feel her presence from time to time. That's why we can conclude that the True Ancestor is not dead, but merely asleep... Let me ask you, Isabella, have you ever met her in a dream?"

Dream……

Isabella frowned slightly.

She did dream about True Ancestor Lilith, and it was quite recently.

In the dream, Isabella was looking forward to her wedding with Lor... It should have been a sweet dream, but the uninvited "True Ancestor Lilith" turned the wedding into a terrible nightmare.

This was no ordinary dream.

Because in most cases, the brain will quickly forget the content of the dream after waking up; but that dream at that time left a deep impression on Isabella, and she can still clearly recall all the details of the process.

It's so realistic.

"It seems that you have indeed seen her in your dream."

By observing Isabella's reaction, Emmett has figured out the answer:

"The opportunity to meet True Ancestor Lilith is rare. However, by consuming a portion of the True Ancestor's blood and combining it with the correct spell construction, one can actively enter True Ancestor Lilith's dream... It took me nearly a hundred years of research to master this method."

Isabella listened silently without interrupting.

She was thinking.

At first glance, Emmett's words sounded like a fairy tale, but after careful consideration, there seemed to be no flaws.

Moreover, after actually meeting Emmett, Isabella can now be sure that he really has no intention of fighting with her... This guy has many flaws and it seems that he is really not good at fighting.

And, most importantly...

At this moment, Isabella could indeed vaguely feel the presence of "True Ancestor Lilith"!

"You seem to have made a mistake."

She spoke slowly, her eyes still full of vigilance when she looked at Emmett:

"My goal is to kill True Ancestor Lilith and completely sever the power of the vampire race... If that's the case, what's the point of meeting her in a dream? Dreams are, after all, just illusions. Even if I kill her in my fantasy, it's meaningless."

What's more, with my current strength, I am no match for the True Ancestor.

"Indeed, there is no real death in dreams."

Emmett replied calmly:

"While you can't kill the True Ancestor in your dream, you can find a way to awaken her and truly destroy her... Also, I have to remind you that killing the True Ancestor Lilith isn't something you can do with brute force."

"and many more."

Isabella sensed something was amiss. "So, you already know how to awaken the True Ancestor? If so, why haven't you done it yet?"

"Why would I want to wake her up?" Emmett shrugged. "It can't be to restore the glory of the vampires, right? I'm not Lucinda. I don't have such lofty ideals."

Isabella looked incredulous:

"That being said, there's no reason for you to help me, right? If I really kill the True Ancestor in the future and completely destroy the power of the vampires, would you still think it doesn't matter?"

"After all, you are very interesting, my little sister. Much more interesting than Lucinda."

Emmett smiled.

"In my opinion, there's a 99% chance that what you're about to do will end in tragedy, and I'm very interested in watching that ending... Even if you succeed, it won't be a big loss for me. The most I can do is just become an ordinary human with you.

"I've lived as a 'monster' for so long that I've become numb to death... I could even say I've been looking forward to it. As a fellow monster, you should understand, right, Isabella?"

"Every story needs an ending, especially a long and boring one. However, the ending needs to have some meaning and cannot be a hasty ending."

At this point, Emmett paused slightly.

"I expect you to bring this end to me, my dear little sister."

...crazy.

When Isabella heard these words, the first thought that came to her mind was that this guy had gone crazy.

But, it is not incomprehensible.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered her past self. The self who had just become a vampire and was determined to commit suicide.

Maybe in a sense, Emmett and I are similar people...but later, especially after meeting Lor, I completely gave up my original idea.

Yes, I want to become human again, not to die.

On the contrary, it is to truly "live".

"I'll say it again, don't try to get close to me!" Isabella said coldly.

"I've said everything I need to say. Please come in, my dear little sister." Emmett slowly made an inviting gesture. "I spent half a day preparing this 'gift'. If you don't appreciate it, it will make me very sad."

Humph, just go.

There is nothing to be afraid of!

Isabella took slow steps.

At the same time, she silently concentrated her mind and tried to confirm Lor's current location... but she still failed, which meant that Lor was still beyond her perception range.

"If I can really use this opportunity to find a way to awaken and kill True Ancestor Lilith, it would mean I've taken a huge step towards my ultimate goal," Isabella thought silently. "Then, once I've completely transformed back into a human, then... then, I can be with Lor..."

Just thinking about it makes me blush.

Humph, no!

If that time really comes, I can't take the initiative!

I have to make that idiot prepare the ring and get down on one knee to beg me!
