I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

After that, he began to contact and cooperate with the followers of the Demon God, and began to build secret factories similar to this one in the underground of major cities in the empire. He also secretly cooperated with the Davis family to kill this generation of heroes and remove possible obstacles to the resurrection of the Demon God.

And today is the day he will give everything in the empire to the Demon Lord.

brush--

With a slight sound, Charles the Great touched the thin layer that sealed the core fragments, and a terrifying pressure spread from it.

Starting from the pillar supporting the small ball, everything around it began to twist and was drawn into it as if being attracted, even Charles the Great's body was affected. However, until he was drawn into this distortion point, his face still had an extremely fanatical expression.

This is not death, it is just a beginning.

At this time, everyone in the palace began to celebrate the victory banquet, unaware that disaster had already arrived under their feet.

Soon, the huge metal arsenal was twisted and shattered, no longer retaining its original appearance. The distortion finally spread to the ground beneath the imperial capital, and a slight shaking began to spread to the surface.

At first, there were only slight ripples in the glass of wine, but the shaking intensified at an extremely fast rate as time went on, and soon reached a level that could no longer be ignored.

"What happened!"

The originally bustling palace had to be interrupted due to the violent shaking that made people feel unsteady.

Since the most powerful person in charge, Emperor Charles the Great, was missing, others had to nervously appease the human leaders, assuring them that it was just a major earthquake and that the palace would only shake a little, but it was absolutely safe, so they asked them to stay calm.

But these consolations were shattered after a bottomless crack ran across the entire palace and swallowed up several figures. Everyone immediately became confused and tried to activate their own teleportation props to try to leave this place of trouble.

You can apologize later, but if you lose your life now, you will lose everything.

Everyone in the palace now is a person of noble status, and they have no shortage of such insurance props.

But when they tried to activate these items, they found that the anti-teleportation magic covering the imperial capital was still operating normally, and was even more stringent than before. It was almost operating in an overloaded state that would be damaged after this time. Even the magic on their items that could break through the anti-teleportation was ineffective.

What frightened them even more was that they had been given large amounts of drugs that suppressed their magic power without knowing when, and now they had no room to fully display their strength.

When things got to this point, the people present could no longer see that something was wrong, and they did not bother to continue questioning the equally panicked servants, and ran out of the palace.

The teleportation magic has failed and their own strength has been destroyed. Their only chance of survival now is to meet up with the strong men they brought with them, and then find a way to leave the imperial capital, this place of trouble.

But what was even faster than them was the collapsing earth.

I saw wide cracks spreading rapidly around the imperial capital, eventually enveloping the entire palace.

The next moment, the shaking reached its peak, as if the ground under the palace had been completely dug out, and the entire palace, along with everyone in it, plummeted to the bottomless depths, leaving behind only a huge, bottomless tiankeng, proving that everything that had happened before was not an illusion.

§119 The People of the Imperial Capital Before the Disaster

Imprum Empire, Imperial Capital, Noble District, before the incident.

While the banquet was being held in the palace, the Imperial Earl, or rather the impoverished Earl Dai** Lomut, who lived in the aristocratic district, took the opportunity to invite several of his friends to his home.

Although he had long been down and out and had been kicked out of the social circle of the upper aristocracy, Dai ** still regarded himself as an aristocrat and disdained to associate with the common people who were the embodiment of lowliness in his eyes.

It is precisely because of this inexplicable arrogance that his group of friends are all down-and-out aristocrats similar to him, who also look down on ordinary people. It can be said that birds of a feather flock together.

As for the reason why he chose to hold a banquet to entertain everyone today, it was very simple. In order to celebrate the imperial army's attack on the vampires today, the imperial emperor Charles the Great announced that all normal expenses of shops in the imperial capital today would be paid for by the national treasury.

Regardless of one's identity or status, even those half-naked people in the slums can have a hearty meal and enjoy themselves to their heart's content today.

Logically speaking, everyone is capable of organizing such a banquet under this premise, but in the end, Dai** became the host. As for the reason, firstly, his title is the highest among everyone, and secondly, it is because only this place has enough grandeur.

Even though it has fallen on hard times, this luxurious mansion located in the aristocratic district of the imperial capital is still a considerable fortune left to Dai ** by his ancestors.

Although many of the original decorations in the mansion had been taken away and sold by Dai **.

However, from the unsaleable decorations, one can still see how luxurious this place once was.

The door of the banquet hall, which had not been visited for a long time, was suddenly opened. Several older servants came in with cleaning tools and started cleaning.

At the door, Dai ** was holding a white handkerchief covering his mouth and nose, standing one step outside the door and urging the servants to act.

"Hurry up! You'll be in trouble if you don't make it to the party!"

"Yes Yes."

There is still more than an hour before the banquet starts. Even if the next few people work at full capacity, they can only barely clean up this large banquet hall. Therefore, Dai **'s urging is completely unreasonable.

Normally, the task of cleaning up the banquet venue should have been completed long ago, but because Dai ** had very few servants at his disposal, these people had to be responsible for purchasing, banquet preparation, venue cleaning and other miscellaneous tasks at the same time, and they were completely overwhelmed.

But they could not resist Dai **'s orders, because they were Dai **'s slaves, the kind who sold themselves for various reasons. Otherwise, if they were normal servants, they would have abandoned such a down-and-out master and sought better jobs elsewhere.

In a sense, these servants also have the attitude of not worrying about having too many debts. If they didn't want to suffer physical pain, they would have chosen to start long ago.

In any case, Dai** would not choose to terminate the contract on his own, otherwise he would have to come into contact with those lowly civilians on his own, which was something Dai** could not accept at all.

"Tsk."

He took out a pocket watch from the pocket of his old suit, glanced at the time on it, and frowned slightly.

The temporary workers he contacted to help him look good were about to arrive, and he was going to greet them at the door and assign them some work.

As for the reason why Dai ** frowned, it was very simple. Since this kind of expense was not reimbursed, even if he only hired a few people for two hours, it would hurt Dai ** a lot.

But there is no way around it. This is a necessary expense, and the nobles cannot lose face in direct communication.

"You guys continue to clean up, be quick."

After leaving his final words, Dai** turned and left the banquet hall. The people who were busy inside looked at each other tacitly as he left, and then they all slowed down their actions at the same time.

Anyway, there is no way to finish cleaning up within the specified time, so I might as well catch some fish.

On the other side, after opening the door of the Earl's Mansion, several young and beautiful maids with faint smiles on their faces appeared in front of Dai ** outside the door.

These maids have all undergone systematic training, so they have no problem being called upon to perform temporary guest roles in the palace. Although each of them cannot be said to be so beautiful as to shame the moon and flowers, they are much more beautiful than people on the street.

The price of hiring them is naturally not cheap. They are charged multiple times based on the hour, person and work. Every extra second they stay here will make the workers feel a little pain.

Considering the price he paid this time, he could only let them smile at the guests at the door and then show them the way.

Help clean the banquet hall? Sure, but it would cost extra, and Dai** was naturally reluctant to pay for it.

"Just greet people at the door and take them to the banquet hall. Follow me for the specific route."

"Yes."

Looking at the maids saluting in unison, Dai ** couldn't help but think how great it would be if they were his own maids.

When there is something to do, the maids do it, and when there is nothing to do, the servants do it. It is also a pleasant sight to behold, and life is very comfortable.

There you have to look at a few guys with wrinkles on their faces walking around in front of you every day.

However, this fantasy only lasted for less than a second before it was shattered.

Unless he can revive the family, what just happened will only be a fantasy.

For now, let's think about how to hold this banquet successfully, and it's also a good opportunity to go and see how those people are cleaning.

With this thought in mind, Dai** led a group of maids towards the banquet hall.

The few people who were slacking off and cleaning in the banquet hall suddenly became quick and efficient when they heard footsteps approaching outside, looking very diligent.

"We're here. This is the banquet hall. Just bring the people with the invitations."

"Yes."

As the maids left, Dai ** looked at the busy people in the banquet hall and felt a surge of anger in his heart, which he then suppressed forcefully.

The time is almost up, and if they vent their anger now, they will only lose face in front of their friends. They have to endure it for a while and settle the score after the party.

But no matter what I thought, I still had to curse Dai ** verbally.

"Hurry up, you'll be in trouble if you slack off."

"Yes Yes."

Seeing how timid they were, Dai **'s mood finally improved a bit. After taking out his watch from his pocket and taking a look at it, Dai ** walked towards the main house.

There is still some time before the banquet starts, so he can take a break.

What Dai ** didn't know was that after he left the banquet hall, several people tacitly started to slack off again.

§120 Countdown to the Fall of the Human Race's Largest City

"call."

Sitting in the soft and comfortable armchair, Dai** took a long breath, leaned his head back slightly on the headrest, closed his eyes and rested, ready to kill the last time before the banquet began.

But as time went on, Dai ** found that the chair under him seemed to start shaking by itself, and the shaking was getting worse.

what happened?

He opened his eyes in confusion, looked at the chandelier swaying above his head and the decorations around him that were about to fall to the ground, and Dai ** immediately realized what had happened. Then he ran out of the main house quickly.

Damn it, an earthquake happened at this moment, and it was a very violent one. I hope this house won’t collapse, otherwise he will be in great pain.

When Dai ** ran to the front door, everyone else in the Earl's Mansion also ran out behind him.

On the street outside the door, everyone's expressions were a little panicked, and from time to time, someone could be seen running out of the house just like he had just done.

But what Dai ** cared about now was not this kind of thing, but the ground under his feet that was shaking more and more violently.

Damn it, if it continues like this, I’ll have to question whether my house is still habitable.

After all, as a poor nobleman, he had no money to add magical reinforcements to his mansion.

boom--

Suddenly, a deafening roar frightened everyone and they all looked in the direction where the sound came from, which was the direction of the palace. Then they saw a horrifying scene that they would never forget.

The upper half of the magnificent palace that could be seen here had disappeared without a trace after that terrifying loud noise.

How can it be!

At this moment, this is what everyone thinks about.

The imperial palace is no different from other buildings. In order to ensure its absolute safety, the emperor has invested unimaginable resources in it. How could it collapse because of a mere earthquake?

This is true even if the earthquake is indeed very severe.

However, the disaster did not end there.

Not long after the loud noise, several carriages drove away into the distance without looking back, regardless of the flow of people on the street, leaving behind a group of injured people lying on the ground wailing, completely unaware of why they had suffered such a disaster.

But soon they found out why.

Arriving a step behind the carriage was a huge crowd of people, who were running in an attempt to escape from the danger chasing them from behind.

Behind them, on the originally flat ground, a huge net made up of cracks that could easily swallow a carriage was rapidly spreading outward from the direction of the palace, swallowing up the figures who wanted to escape.

Even if someone is lucky enough not to fall directly into the crack, the remaining foothold will soon collapse under the shaking of the earth, and they will step into the abyss below together with the people above.

Run, you must run!

As soon as this thought flashed through Dai **'s mind, he discovered a fact that made him despair - given his physical condition, he could definitely not outrun the speed at which the cracks spread.

But even so, Dai ** still blended into the crowd and was swept along by the crowd as he ran.

At this moment, under the threat of death, Dai ** had no intention of distinguishing whether the people around him were lowly and unworthy of contact with him. As long as they could save him, he would accept any identity.

"Money! I have money! Who can take this earl away with you? This money is yours!"

Dai ** took out the reward that was originally intended for the maid from his arms. He was already out of breath. He raised the purse in his hand high above his head and shouted loudly, trying to attract people's attention.

However, no one around paid any attention to his words. People just kept running forward, trying to live a little longer.

"Get out of my way!"

A huge force suddenly came from behind Dai **, pushing Dai **, who could no longer move his legs, away. Caught off guard, Dai ** fell directly to the ground. Then, countless feet stepped on him fiercely, just like those who fell before, without any difference due to his identity as a count.

The purse that Dai ** was holding tightly in his hand was kicked away by the crowd, and the gold coins inside were scattered everywhere, but no one chose to bend down and pick them up.

In this crowd, if you dare to bend down, the big feet of the people behind you will sentence you to death.

"I... just died like that..."

In the short time before the crowd left and the cracks arrived, Dai **, whose body was covered with shoe prints and whose bones were crushed to pieces, looked at the scattered gold coins in front of him unwillingly, his lips trembling slightly.

He is not willing!
