Chapter 218 Elzac's Request
"Elzac, Vivian said you have something to talk to me about?" Seeing Mu Hua, Elzac gracefully made a sword flower and put away the rapier in his hand.
Some nobles like to equip themselves with flower swords, which are suitable for stabbing, but are somewhat lacking in threat when facing enemies that are larger than humans.
This kind of sword is usually a magic sword. In the process of hunting demons, if you want to use it well, you also need a stronger and more delicate blood release ability.
As far as melee weapons are concerned, Mu Hua actually doesn't like this kind of rapier very much. It is elegant and too feminine. It is suitable for assassination but not for fighting.
"Good morning, Professor Mu." Elzac nodded and dismissed the people around him. Accompanied by Olivia, he seemed to want to communicate with Mu Hua in private.
"A small-scale demonic tide has appeared in the Courtyard of the Undead in Monroe City." After everyone dispersed, Elzac said to Mu Hua.
"Huh? You came to me just to talk about this? The demon tide has nothing to do with me." Mu Hua raised his eyebrows.
The timing is too coincidental. This demonic tide is most likely related to the demon dragon he killed. However, Mu Hua is not happy about it. He has already given you the hush money. Are you planning to use this matter to extort more benefits from him?
"No, Professor, please don't get me wrong, this is the news I just received last night."
"Monroe City is in the western part of the Empire, so it's hard for it to affect us. And there's a patrol fleet passing by Monroe. I think it will be suppressed soon, so there shouldn't be any trouble."
"I'm just reminding you that this matter should have passed." Noticing Mu Hua's attitude, Elzac explained.
"Oh? You came to me just to talk about this?" Mu Hua said the same words, his brows relaxed and his tone became calm.
I just received the news last night, but Vivian said a few days ago that Elzac had contacted him, so I guess there must be something else going on.
"Well, we want to hold a vampire night, and Caroline said that it needs to be supervised by you, so she asked me to discuss it with you." Elzac continued.
"Huh?" Mu Hua was surprised.
"Vampire Night? You can do this in the academy? Are you crazy, or is Caroline crazy?"
"Are you, the vampires, the bosses behind this academy?" Mu Hua asked Elzac in a tone of disbelief.
Today, Mu Hua is no longer the rookie he was when he first came to Loren.
The so-called Vampire Night can be understood as a party organized by vampires. This party is crazier, more absurd and weird than those parties held by young people in the academy.
But its main purpose is not to have fun. It is a bit similar to the Demon Banquet mentioned by Tabitha. It is a party to find the contractor.
The biggest difference from the Demon Night Banquet is that the demons at the Demon Night Banquet usually sign slavery contracts with the banquet attendees and become human’s dependents.
But during Vampire Night, although it is entirely voluntary, the blood clan will generally only sign a servant contract, and it is not certain who is the master and who is the servant.
Demons need to become followers of humans in order to suppress their own demonic nature, so there is the tradition of Demon Banquet.
Vampires do not have this need. The traditional vampire night is a gathering of vampires for unbridled behavior, and is more often a gathering for first-time embraced secondary vampires.
If the Devil's Night Banquet can still give people a sense of sacred ritual, then people's impression of the Vampire Night is often chaotic, gloomy, bloody, absurd, and even chaotic.
It would be fine if you could just find a private club to have fun, but no matter how open-minded Loren is, he shouldn't be able to hold such an event in school, right?
"Are you sure that doing this won't attract the Night Hunters? Why do I feel like this has gone beyond the scope of checking water meters?" Mu Hua asked questioningly.
"Well, times have changed. Our vampire nights are very simple, not what you understand." Elzac twitched his mouth.
Mu Hua remained silent, with an expression that said, "I'm listening to your fabrication," waiting for Elzac's explanation.
Times have changed? Bullshit, I thought we just arrived in Loren?
"The blood clan is now divided into three factions. One faction is the war faction, which advocates the extermination of werewolves and values making achievements in the courtyard. It also advocates independence and attempts to establish a blood clan empire in the courtyard, and does not care whether it is accepted by the residents."
"The other faction is the return faction, which is people like us who are willing to coexist with werewolves and aspire to return to human society."
"The other faction is the neutral faction, which does whatever it wants and leans to either side. In fact, Shaqiri belongs to the neutral faction."
"And we want to imitate the Demon Night Banquet and hold a Vampire Night, and also to let some vampires sign a contract with humans."
"Although we don't have any demonic risks, the Alan demons have been able to integrate into society through contracts, and we want to give it a try." Elzac explained. "Tsk~, one of you wants to integrate into the public, and the other wants to prove your worth by hunting demons, and these have nothing to do with werewolves."
"Werewolves are so unlucky. Why do they have to be involved in such things?" Mu Hua roughly understood what Elzac meant, but he felt strange about the statement about whether to exterminate werewolves or not.
"The hatred between werewolves and vampires was instigated by werewolves. Werewolves are different from us. There are not many werewolves like Jeff and his group."
"We are willing to coexist with werewolves, but that doesn't mean we will tolerate them."
"Even if they are the returnees, if they encounter a werewolf that is looking for trouble, they will fight with the intention of killing the opponent, even if it is a blood mark werewolf." Elzak explained with a hint of meaning.
"Okay, okay, I will try not to let Jeff and the others hang out with you guys in the future." Mu Hua waved his hand.
The hatred between the two tribes was much deeper than he understood, and it was obviously not the same as the flirting between the witch and the necromancer.
As for the blood-marked werewolves... Alas, these two tribes are really messed up. The blood-marked werewolves are born by vampire girls. That's right, if vampires are alive and give birth to offspring, there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be werewolves.
"I don't know much about Vampire Night. Besides, Vic is in charge of all matters at Twilight Courtyard. If you want to supervise it, why don't you just ask Vic?"
Vampires are willing to sign servant contracts with people, but they are not willing to sign slavery contracts like the Alan demon. The difference in binding force is actually not a big deal. After all, demons are not monsters, and there is no need to be too serious about servants or followers.
But vampires are fundamentally different from the hardworking Alan demons. The Alan demons don't care much whether the contract object is a settler or an adventurer. They may even not care about strength and identity. What they want is to integrate into human society.
What vampires essentially seek is shelter, the shelter of those who live there, not simply integration and recognition.
Whether it is for the sake of elegance or utilitarianism, the vampires' contract partners are more inclined to those who can be protected by the residents. The key is that those who understand will understand...
Therefore, even if it is a servant contract, the vampires will definitely not find a screw-tightening settler to sign it.
The Vampire Night that Elzac is going to organize will definitely not be a party for students. Compared with it, Mu Hua feels that the traditional Vampire Night is a little simpler.
After finding out the reason, Mu Hua didn't want to get involved in such matters.
"Vic can't do that. Caroline doesn't agree. You should also know that Vic really wants to become a member of the vampire clan." Elzac shook his head.
"Then let Caroline do it by herself. It's just a vampire night. How long will it take? I'm quite conservative and can't keep up with your pace of innovation." Mu Hua still refused.
Vic's life is also quite miserable. He probably suffered some irreversible damage from the breath of death before becoming a necromancer.
This type of injury will restrict their cultivation, and the most direct result is that they are more likely to die early.
Originally Mu Hua was just guessing, but now hearing it from Elzac's mouth, it was obvious that Vic, who didn't want to die early, chose the latter between becoming a lich and becoming a lesser vampire.
Unfortunately, Vic is not handsome enough and does not have any outstanding abilities. The vampires have a special feeling for their first embracers, and the vampires in the Dusk Villa look down on him.
"Actually, in addition to supervision, I also wanted to invite you to participate in Vampire Night." Not paying attention to Mu Hua's blame-shifting, Elzac said to Mu Hua.
"Huh? Invite me? I'm an adventurer." Mu Hua paused.
"But you are also a professor at the college." Elzac said with a smile.
"Magic Academy." Mu Hua corrected with a frown.
"The magic academy in the human world. What do you think of Olivia? You may also need a follower. Olivia has good abilities in all aspects." Elzac pointed at Olivia who had been standing aside.
"..." Mu Hua was surprised. Olivia? Follower? Was she going to sign a servant contract with him?
Olivia's appearance is not as delicate as Shanna, but she is definitely a beauty above her standard, especially the mature temperament of the older sister. Compared with Shanna, Mu Hua prefers Olivia's type.
Subconsciously looking at Olivia, Mu Hua finally understood the origin of the complicated look in Olivia's eyes when she looked at him.
Followers? My Ikaros hasn't developed yet, never mind followers or followers, do we need these?
However, can the blood clan followers be bled?
By the way, it's not a good idea to catch your own followers and drain their blood, right?
As for vampires, I wonder if I can catch them in the abyss?
"This... isn't too good, is it?" Mu Hua's eyes involuntarily glanced at Olivia's beautiful neck, and he seemed a little embarrassed, muttering softly.
