"No, I have only made an appointment to be loyal to Pinold." Eric replied. "Since he is just a lie and does not exist from beginning to end, then my agreement will naturally be invalid."

"If you leave, do you have a place to go?" Ashurufat asked. "I'm sure you can't return to your homeland if you do that. The Shem people will not welcome you, and the church has issued a wanted order for you, and you will have nowhere to go within the entire seven central countries!"

"The world is so big that I have my own place to go," Eric replied. "For example, I can hide my name and become a mercenary. Anyway, I have no relatives and no reason, it's easy to make a faux pastime."

"Eric," Eshu Rufat looked at him. Because of the previous electric shock, Eric was unable to move freely, and life and death were in his hands. But he knew that this stubborn old soldier would never surrender because of the threat. If he were such a person, he would have been in the excavation ground in front of his own small official instead of planning that escape. On the battlefield longer ago, he would not give up the opportunity to retreat and bet on his own safety for the victory or defeat of the entire army. "Don't draw conclusions so quickly. I believe that compared to others, I am a more worthy monarch to follow than those you have served before."

"You are very powerful," Eric replied. "But power can only be used for destruction. You may be a very good commander, but this does not mean that you can become an excellent monarch. My sense of honor does not allow me to make any irresponsible oath. Scarlet Duke, sorry."

"If you want, you can stay silent and stand aside and look at me. If you think I deserve your allegiance, it's not too late for you to serve me again." Ashu Rufate replied. After saying this, he looked at the four people of Cade. The four people were still in a coma, but even in a coma, they could still see their bodies trembling due to pain. On Cade's face, some fine hairs that did not exist were seen. In fact, it was not just the face, but his normal skin was beginning to grow hair - like a mouse-like brown hair.

Ashu Rufate himself was a little surprised. If this was a mutation, it would be too fast. Carrie had told him before that if humans directly drink blood, they would not end up like this, but they did not expect it to be like this.

"Master, that's it." Carrie explained in her mind. "In fact, it's slower to drink directly. If you cut a wound on his body and drip your blood into the wound, it will change faster."

"What will happen to them?"

"I told you that if they survive, their brains will inevitably be destroyed in the transformation process. The original memories, intelligence, personality and other things are all wiped out, leaving only the instincts like wild beasts. They will become 'them' and will become a beast that is as old as you, but irrational as you. You can easily detain their thoughts and control them at will."

"Lord Qinxin has done similar experiments, and I have saved the relevant records." Carrie added.

"Then why didn't you tell me directly before?" Ashu Rufat looked at the four people and suddenly felt a little regretful.

"Well, because I think if you witness it with your own eyes, you can help you understand this matter better. It is easy to get immortality through your blood, but it is difficult to maintain the rationality of your previous thinking. Of course, it will take a lot of time for these people to complete this transformation. I suggest you leave here and seal the outside after going out. This ancient tomb is very solid, and creatures without intelligence cannot rush out. Don't think about killing them now. You must know that you may need their help in the future. But you can also observe here and see their detailed mutation process..."

Ashu Rufate didn't want to continue watching. "Let's go out." He said to everyone.

The battle outside had already ended. When Cade rushed in through the outermost periphery with the help of his servant, he had never expected the sudden change behind him. The soldiers he brought were scattered throughout the tomb and executed the search order. So in the following raid, they could hardly organize effective resistance. Coupled with the fear brought by the undead creatures, most of the soldiers could not react for a moment and did not know what to do. All those who resisted spontaneously and tried to stop the undead team were killed, and the rest were still stunned. They might still have weapons in their hands, but they had already lost the will to fight in their hearts.

The originally captured rebels (who did not know the truth, but made a normal interpretation) soon turned against the enemy with the support of the undead creatures. They seized the soldiers' weapons and tied them up. In this situation where the situation was hopeless and there was no chance, the soldiers chose to surrender.

Soon, they came to the ground. As mentioned earlier, this place was a wilderness, but the area was large enough that hundreds of people could gather here.

Ashu Rufat looked at the captives gathered in a group, dejected and frightened.

"Listen!" He announced loudly to the rebels that it was actually the first time these people saw vampires and the undead army, so they were also very uneasy. "Kasek sent half of his troops here, and the city is now very empty. This is a good opportunity he gave us. Today I will put my flag on the top of Meno's city!"

...

Kasek got up from the bed and put on his clothes. He slept well this afternoon. These days were the days when he had slept the most peacefully and steadily for such a long time. He was really worried enough to be a lord here! When a powerful vampire was waiting for the opportunity like a wolf in the wild, it was difficult for a lord to sleep peacefully, and he was even more so.

However, it seemed that the protection of the gods suddenly came. Just like a patient who had been suffering from illness suddenly encountered a famous doctor who had a wonderful hand. The guy named Cade suddenly jumped out and brought him a good news that could not be better.

Baron Pinold was just a lie, just a lie that was randomly fabricated by some bold guy and then kept defending because it was profitable. Not only that, Cade also agreed to lead the troops in the city to wipe out the rebels who pretended to be vampires. The reward he wanted was just a long sword with mere memorial significance.

In addition to this big pie falling from the sky, several other good things also followed. A representative of a chamber of commerce found him and bought him a series of powers such as mining rights in the Meno area at a high price, business rights, etc. It must be said that although he naturally enjoyed these rights as the lord, these rights never brought him half a income. What is even more rare is that the representative offered various price discounts far exceeding his imagination. His capable housekeeper helped him win better conditions in the negotiations. With this income, he settled the soldiers' wages at one time - because he had been owed for too long, a large-scale military mutiny could occur at any time.

Not to mention anything else, the "ten-year mining rights" alone is enough to make him pay back half of his debts. No matter what minerals the chamber of commerce found in his territory, ten years later, these minerals will have to be returned to his hands.

The vampire problem was solved, and the debt problem became a big deal. The problems that had been bothering him suddenly disappeared. His originally dark life became brilliant and full of sunshine. He could finally live like a real nobleman, enjoying his life in gorgeous clothes, carefully cooked food, luxurious residence, and groups of maids...

"Sir, your dinner is ready." Someone said to him.

When Kasek sat at the table, his dinner was already neatly arranged. The content of the dinner was bacon and beans - for a mercenary, it was a very particular meal, but for a nobleman, it was really a dish that could not be served on the table. But it didn't matter, it was his last poor day. The contract with the Chamber of Commerce had been signed, and the damn farmers quickly understood that the vampire rebels who supported them had completely finished playing. They had to make up all the taxes that had not been paid for for so long... No, this was not enough! They had previously relied on the support of vampires to openly refuse to pay taxes, and even attacked the tax collectors he sent. This behavior must be severely punished and warned a hundred! At that time, he will become...

By the way, he should take this opportunity to marry a wife for himself... maybe he can marry a few side rooms and concubines...

"Is there any new news?" Kasek asked the servants beans around him as he ate. With his bright future, the bacon and beans tasted particularly delicious. "Are those soldiers who surrounded and suppressed the rebels back?"

"Not yet, sir." The servant looked out the window and looked at the sky. In fact, it was not yet time for ordinary people to have supper, because there was still some time before dusk. "But didn't Lord Cade say that he would not come back tomorrow morning at the latest?"

"I forgot." Kasek stopped eating. "Then let's talk about it tomorrow. If he comes back, remember to notify me as soon as possible, even if I'm sleeping, you can wake me up directly."

"Sir, the weather is a little bit wrong. It may be raining." A servant looked at the sky outside. The sky was a little darker and dark clouds covered the sun. Of course, there was nothing to worry about. Although the rainy season was over, there was nothing to wonder about when there was a heavy rain.

"If it rains, it will take more time for Cade to come back."

Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, someone was running towards here at a very fast speed. Then, the door of the room was pushed open, and a person with a breathless and pale face rushed in. Kasek recognized that this was one of his officers, who was sent by him to deal with the liars. And the expression on the officer's face was not the expression of returning from winning the battle.

"Sir Earl, we've been trapped!" the officer shouted loudly. "The vampire is real!"

Kasek's hand shook and his fork fell to the ground.

"What happened, what happened?" Kasek recovered from calmness after a few seconds.

"That's right!" the officer said angrily. "The whole thing is a trap! Cade took us to the mountains and asked me to wait there with my team. Then the vampire appeared with the undead army and immediately launched an attack on us. With a huge gap, I could only fight and retreat and retreat. And the other brothers who were leaving with Cade would be in danger!"

"What?!" Kasek stood up suddenly. Suddenly, he thought of something, and came to the window a few steps and stared at the sky. The clouds in the sky were gray, making the hot and hot sunshine in the midsummer weak, but when it was raining, the clouds were not dark enough. He looked at the clouds in the sky, but for a long time he didn't move.

"Quick! Close the city gate!" Kasek suddenly turned his head and ordered the people around him. "Close it immediately and let all the remaining soldiers come to the city and prepare for defense."

The few people around him had not yet come to their senses and stood there without moving, just looking at him in confusion.

"There is absolutely no reason why the vampire set up this trap. He is trying to reduce my defense!" Kasek roared. However, before his subordinates could take action, he heard the commotion and crying outside.
