Blood Contract: 血色契约: Xue Se Qi Yue
Blood Contract, Chapter 91: The Savior who got scammed
The night was getting on just around the corner, and the vampires’ lives are just beginning.
When Zero came back from the forest, and dinner was ready served in the hall. There were only four servants serving food and Zero and Marquis Kenson.
The Marquis, who was at the side of Zero, was very attentive to his own food. His father has not yet appeared today. Zero had been puzzled. These days, when he stayed in the castle, her father often went missing, and Zero felt that his father has something to hide from him. And whenever he appeared, Zero can sense the death and the strong smell of the earth from his body, so his father is not doing nothing. He should be working in the cemetery. As for what he does, Zero can't be suspicious and doesn't intend to ask.
Even so, he was not as late as he was today.
Looking at the table full of food, Zero didn't have the desire to move his knife and fork. “When will my father come back, Mr. Marquis Kenson?" he asked.
When Zero's question came out, a bat flew in the hall. Zero recognized the sign on the bat's neck. It was a bat sent by his father.
What did the bat say to the Duke? Zero was not a vampire so he can't hear. Marquis Kenson nodded respectfully as he listened, and waited for the bat to hover and fly out. He replied respectfully to Zero's question: “Little Lord, the Lord just sent a message that he won't come back today, and he won't come back for the next half month. The Lord asked for the little Lord live here safely. If you need anything, you can ask your subordinates."
Zero made no noise and shook the glass in his hand. The red wine with the ingredients was bright in color and looked delicious.
The servant brought up a tray of turkey with blood, and Zero frowned at it.
Marquis Kenson was very discerning and immediately ordered the servant to take the turkey down. It's no surprise that the servant saw that the Duke was so respectful to a little child these days. Moreover, the servants in the castle were well-trained and would not chew their tongue and gossip outside.
After drinking a glass of blood, Zero lost his appetite. He said to the Marquis.” I'm going to the city."
Then Zero stood up, regardless of whether the Marquis agreed or not.
Marquis Kenson frowned in embarrassment, but stopped Zero dutifully: “Little Lord, I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go out like this, otherwise..."
“I want to be alone.” Zero said coldly. He was in a bad mood today. The Master Marquis also noticed that he had seen Zero fight and didn't worry about his safety. What's important is...
The Master Marquis clapped his hands and ordered people to get a bottle. The bottle is filled with green liquid. He smiled and said to Zero.” little Lord, your oriental face is too ostentatious in the city. This is a magic potion. You can change your appearance after drinking it, but the time limit is only 12 hours."
Zero nodded, didn't contradict, didn't doubt, and drank the liquid with bright color. The hair color and the eyes color on Zero after drinking the liquid became brown, the skin also became wax yellow, and there was a row of freckles under the eyes. Zero's beautiful appearance immediately became ordinary, even a little ugly.
Sabat's human beings have no status. Zero was Childe. To avoid being mistaken for human beings, Marquis Kenson gave Zero a famous brand, which was on the neck, a bit like a dog's brand. Zero frowned, but thought that it might bring trouble to himself, so he was reluctant to take it.
Before leaving, the Marquis didn't give up. He wanted to send someone to protect him. He was refused by Zero's cold eyes.
Zero's face was sullen at the thought of going out of a door in such trouble.
If it was normal, he would never go to the places with more "people". But today, he wants to go to the places with more "people". When he is alone, he will think a lot of upset things.
Rosette, the political center of Jimichi, is not as big and bustling as the main city of cress, the political center of Lesenberg. However, because it is the city of Jimichi, a highly intelligent scholar race, most of the city is a gentleman in western dress, with scholar style glasses, elegant and arrogant.
The most popular store on the street is the bookstore, because Jimichi is good at magic, so the bookstore is also dominated by magic bookstore. There are all kinds of books in the library of Marquis Kenson. Zero doesn't need to come here to visit the bookstore. After reading a large part of magic books, Zero had been interested in learning magic. But after several attempts, the power in his body was too strong, he can’t master even small magic very well, but he would have a fight with the magic idiot the Blood Emperor. Zero just temporarily dispels the thought of learning magic, saving as much humiliation as that idiot.
The return of the Blood Emperor excited the people of Sabat, so when he was walking on the street, in addition to the bookstores, he saw the shops with the sign of the Blood Emperor, such as the gallery with the picture of the Blood Emperor, the bar named after him, and even the shops collecting the things used by the Blood Emperor, such as the cups and clothes used by the Blood Emperor, even the plates broken by him. Children can be sold at a high price.
Zero sneered: Idolatry!
When passing a gallery, Zero was stunned. In the window, there were half body paintings of the Blood Emperor, red hair, proud look, even his smile was captured. This is another him that Zero was not familiar with, he is the emperor! He won't be coquettish to him like Ai-Sha, won't please him, won't show the expression of abandoned dog, won't be around Zero to protect him and keep him company. When he can't find a place to live in the desert city, he can only live in the nearby balding forest, he also steals other people's chicken, clumsily made roast chicken for him in the forest, and almost burns the whole forest.
Ai-Sha is so stupid that he can't even speak, but he is the only one who was really good to Zero. The White Emperor's love is purposeful. He wants him to love him back. His father treats him well or badly. He doesn't even know if he treats him well at the moment and will whip him next moment.
Only Ai-Sha, just want to be good to him.
After a smile, the smile froze. Next to the half portrait of the Blood Emperor, there is a portrait of the Blood Emperor and the Lesenberg Prince Allen.
In the portrait, Allen laid on the Blood Emperor. They look at each other affectionately. The picture is full of ambiguity. Neither of them showed their weakness, as if they are provoking each other. With the temper of the Blood Emperor, if the painting is true, some would pity him for loving Allen very much.
In the picture, Allen was still proud. Maybe it's his pride that attracts the man.
Zero had trouble breathing. He hated it.
At this time, there was a faint cry for help in the alley beside the gallery. The voice was very light, and it could be recognized that it was the voice of a teenager. Zero was trying to find something to distract his mind, so he rarely paid attention to things which don’t concern him.
Zero turned into the alley. Three or four vampires’ civilians were punching and kicking at two teenagers. Looking at the two teenagers' untidy clothes, they must be human beings.
In Sabat, unlike in Camarilla, human beings have no human rights, but in addition to those who are designated as food, the lives of other blood slaves are guaranteed. It is a common practice for human beings to be tortured and killed here.
“What are you doing?” Zero went up. Several vampires didn't expect anyone to interfere. They didn't care much when they saw the famous brand on Zero's neck and the unattractive appearance. They waved at him like flies.” We are teaching slaves not to meddle with their business."
Human beings are very cheap, ordinary civilians are many, and a strong human man's value is only equal to a pig's.
“What did they do wrong?” Zero went on, though he thought his words were ridiculous. A man can get a fist without doing wrong at all. But he is looking for trouble, and the scene words still need to be said.
The asked vampires were obviously impatient. They glanced at Zero and saw that Zero was well dressed and famous brands were made of gold. It must be Childe of some nobles. They said to Zero.” They ran away at work, and we want to kill them!"
It's more like unwritten rules, of course.
A few steps closer to Zero. “Why did you escape?" this time Zero asked the two human teenagers.
The boy is ready to die when he was caught, but he is young. When someone asked, he thinks he has caught the straw and explained: “We are not going to escape. We just want to find the lost sheep."
The young man who spoke was younger than the other one. He had watery eyes when he spoke. He looked very honest.
Another slightly older young man hurriedly promoted himself: “Young Lord, we really don't want to escape. I'm obedient and strong. I can work. Please help us. We can do everything. By the way, I can play chess, piano and read. My former master taught me a lot. You can let me accompany you, really! I've learned the rules. I'll never make trouble for you!"
The young man's eyes flickered with longing, and they seemed to flicker with cunning light when they were dribbling.
One of the vampires kicked him and laughed: "Hey, young master, you can't listen to him. He was thrown away because his master played badly. This kid is very good at hooking up with people. Hey, his little butt is loose, but he's very coquettish." the man smiled vaguely and said dirty xxx topics.
Zero frowned. He was already upset. He swished a few wind waves. He changed his shadow and twisted the speaker's wrist.
Zero used his strength to say that he was a vampires, not even a civilian.
Those vampires saw that little Childe actually fought with them, and they didn't care about Zero's identity at the moment, so they started to fight with him. With Zero assassin's skill, he doesn't need to us the blood of the Dark Emperor in his body. Although it is laborious, he was sure that they are harmless.
Those vampires didn't expect Childe to have such skills at all, and they all suffered losses as soon as they came up for a fight. They were so angry that they didn't realize Zero's strangeness at all. They just thought Childe dared to fight with them, brushed their face, and they rushed towards Zero crazily.
When Zero fought, he protected the two human teenagers behind them. Both of them are surprised that Zero can help, one looked with gratitude and the other looked with calculation.
Zero just wants to find someone to fight and forget the troubles of the heart, so he focuses on fighting and ignored the two human young men behind him. Maybe he is too arrogant to think that the two human beings will fight against him, just after he cleans up these vampires. When he is ready to leave, he turned around and was shocked by the older one of human young men!
When the current flowed all over his body and made him fall down painfully, his eyes were full of surprise – he was the defender! Saints sent by the church to the vampire world!
Another little boy's eyes were full of fright. He didn't seem to know what happened. He was a real human slave.
Zero laughed at himself before he got in a coma: He saved a person.
When Zero woke up, he found that he was packed in a sack. The dark and narrow space made him feel uncomfortable. Moreover, his body was bumping and should be carried on his shoulder.
Zero pretended not to wake up and let himself be taken away.
It was not long after he left that he was left on the ground. Then there was a voice. The two voices sounded like middle-aged people. It seemed that the man who was carrying him sold him as food to another man. The man should be the butler of the rich.
Zero was a little surprised. How could he be sold with Childe's famous brand? Then after checking himself, he immediately realized something, he found that his clothes had been changed and the famous brand like the dog tag on his neck had disappeared.
Damn, he was sold as a human slave in a coma.
The butler shouted to inspect the goods. The other swore that he would not cheat. The butler seemed to dare not to measure the goods, so he stopped shouting to inspect the goods.
Then it seemed that the price was settled, and the man who was carrying him carried him back, and "Delivered him to the door".
He was thrown on the ground again, and Zero was poured out of the sack. The butler came up and looked at Zero for a moment, and pinched his arm.
“He's very thin, but he's also strong. I told you that he can't be sick! Otherwise! Hum.” The butler threatened. The man who sold him nodded and bowed and promised, and then took the money and left.
After listening to their conversation, Zero was disgusted. He felt like a pig or a sheep to be slaughtered.
The author has something to say: in the next chapter, he will meet with the Blood Emperor. ^^
