Atina brought Fang Heng to the center of the fifth floor.
Along the way, Pallet had been curiously sizing up Fang Heng. He really wanted to know what method Fang Heng used to convince Atina to rebel against the vampires.
“He’s Pallet, my friend. He won’t divulge any information about us.”
Atina nodded at Fang Heng while introducing Pallet.
“Mm.”
Fang Heng’s gaze lingered on Pallet for a moment before he shifted his gaze away. “Sorry to have kept you waiting. I spent quite a bit of effort to come here.”
“Mm, I can understand. After we parted last time, I returned to the vampires and was controlled by the Elders Council.”
Atina quickly recovered her mood. She nodded and told Fang Heng about what had happened after they parted last time.
“The Elders Council thought that I was hiding something from them regarding the matter of Angetas, so after a discussion, they decided to temporarily imprison me in the dark prison of blood.”
“After I came back, the first thing I did was to read the information related to the awakening of Angetas. It’s not easy to awaken Angetas, we need to…”
Fang Heng reached out to stop Atina and nodded. “If I’m not wrong, the awakening requires the blood essence, the original Book of Enoch, and the ritual conducted by the Elders Council.”
Atina paused and looked at Fang Heng in surprise. “How do you know?”
“I’ve done some research during this period of time. Also, I have another question.” Fang Heng looked at Atina. “What’s the secret of the Thirteen Holy Artifacts of the vampires?”
Atina’s pupils constricted slightly.
“I don’t know either. In the legends of the vampires, only by gathering all the Thirteen Holy Artifacts of the vampires will there be a chance to uncover the secret.”
Pallet had been listening to their story from the side. He said, “Fang Heng, I admire your courage, but as far as I know, the most important weapon of the Thirteen Holy Artifacts, the headdress, has always been in the hands of the prince. It’s very difficult to gather the Thirteen Holy Artifacts.”
“Indeed.”
Fang Heng shrugged.
Last time in District 9, he had spent a lot of effort tricking the Prince of the vampires to get his hands on the holy weapon.
“By the way, where is the blood left eye?”
Atina shook her head. “I don’t know. The blood left eye has been lost for a long time, and there has been no trace of it among the vampires.”
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
What a coincidence? The missing blood left eye was lost?
Then, they had to use a more troublesome method to find the blood left eye.
“Okay.” Fang Heng nodded. “I’ll think of a way to get you out of here first. What do you suggest?”
“No, we can’t leave yet.”
“Why?”
Atina pointed to the upper level. “We need them to wake up Angetas.”
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and asked in puzzlement, “Them?”
“Tremere, an ancient branch of the vampires. They’ve been sealed in the dark prison of blood for more than ten thousand years.”
Atina looked at Fang Heng. “If we want to revive Angetas, we need their support. Other than the Elders Council, they’re the only ones who know how to hold a ritual to wake up Angetas.”
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
“I’ve been trying to convince them all this time.” Atina frowned. It was obvious that she had encountered quite a bit of trouble, “But there’s still a little more to go. They haven’t been persuaded by me. They think that you don’t have the ability to lead the vampires out of the quagmire. I want you to meet them and convince them.”
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
A game hint appeared on his retina.
[Hint: Detected that player’s territory has Angetas (hibernation). Player has met the initial conditions. Player has triggered the mission-Tremere’s loyalty.]
Mission name: Tremere’s loyalty
Mission difficulty: SS.
Mission description: Vampires are gradually decaying. The Tremere clan, which has been trapped in the dark prison of blood for nearly 10,000 years, has never stopped looking for breakthroughs and rebirth. Atina suggests that you seek the help of the Tremere clan.
Mission requirements: Pass the Tremere clan’s test.
Mission reward: Tremere clan’s loyalty.
Vampires’ loyalty?!
After reading the mission description, Fang Heng’s eyes lit up. He looked at Atina with admiration.
Atina was so awesome?
Not long ago, Fang Heng was conflicted. He thought that the mission difficulty of awakening Angetas was too monstrous.
The Book of Enoch that he had obtained was one of the many difficulties.
He could think of a way to condense the blood essence.
Only the ritual of the Elders Council was a little difficult to handle.
Fang Heng had originally planned to use some method to trick the Elders Council into holding the ritual…
Now, the opportunity had come!
He could directly trick the entire ancient clan to help him!
“Alright, I’ll go and see them.”
“I have a bit of a connection with the Tremere clan. I’ll go with you.”
Pallet followed up with a reminder, “The Tremere clan once lost in the struggle for power with the Elders Council, so they chose to stay in the dark prison of blood willingly. They withdrew from the conflict between the vampires and protected the safety of the dark prison of blood. They’re not easy to deal with.”
…
Dark prison of blood, eighth floor.
A barrier opened and enveloped the entire eighth and ninth floors, blocking the probes from the outside world.
The few guards guarding the entrance of the dark prison of blood were even more confused now.
The young vampire who had just been thrown in seemed to have used cheats and charged all the way to the fifth floor.
The guards originally thought that this kid should have been stopped on the fifth floor, right?
Those were all powerful vampires at the Marquis level.
But unexpectedly, they did not know what that young man had said to the Marquises of the vampires, Atina and Pallet. He was actually led to the eighth floor by the two Marquises?!
“Why did he go there?”
“Could it be that he is a descendant of the Tremere clan?”
“Impossible, how could there be a descendant of the Tremere clan left outside?”
“Does that mean they still want to go to the Tremere clan to challenge them?”
The vampires guessed in a low voice.
“Quick, go and report to the Elders Council. Tell them that it’s a special emergency.”
“Yes!”
High up in the dark prison of blood, Fang Heng followed Atina and Pallet to the eighth floor.
The pyramid-shaped building became smaller the higher it went.
The entire eighth-floor area had been transformed into a wide hall.
The three elders of the Tremere clan sat on the chairs in front of the hall, sizing up this young clan descendant.
Atina and Pallet knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.
“You are Fang Heng?”
Sitting in the middle of the three chairs, the Tremere clan elder Hayez observed Fang Heng and praised him in his heart.
He could feel the abundant blood energy in Fang Heng’s body.
The elder on the right nodded and looked at Atina. “Atina, you have good taste.”
Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the three elders of the vampires sitting on the high chairs.
“Elders, I believe that you have heard about me from Atina, so I want to know your thoughts. Are you willing to join my team and revive the glory of the vampires?”
“There isn’t much that I can provide to the clan. Other than the highest level of preferential treatment from the clan, the newly established Elders Council for the vampires will be established by the Tremere clan. The three of you will be the first few elders of the Elders Council to act as the arbitration elders and shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the vampires on the right path.”
