Chapter 1852: Chapter 1049 Bella’s Confession

The little girl’s words instantly provoked a roar of laughter in the spacious tavern.

“Kid, even juvenile vampires have distinctive fangs, and they absolutely can’t be exposed to sunlight. What kind of vampire are you supposed to be?”

The muscular giant at the next table glanced at the glorious sunlight slanting in through the entrance and teased the girl who looked no different from the Human Clan: “Go back and drink milk from your mother.”

“Indeed, indeed, over 100 years old?”

Another scrawny sailor put down his glass and joined in with a loud laugh: “This little thing is even older than my wrinkle-faced grandmother!”

“Little friend, do you hear? Lying will get you laughed at by others.”

The young female clerk helplessly looked at the girl and shook her head: “Be on your way, this is not a place for kids to mess around.”

“I really didn’t lie!”

Tears welled up in the corner of the girl’s eyes, and with an increasingly urgent expression on her childish face she pleaded: “Please, you are my last hope!”

However, what she got in return was still the jeers of the tavern guests and the righteous eviction from the young clerk.

“Lord, although very faint, there is indeed a hint of a vampire’s aura emanating from that girl.”

Jasper Richardson, who had once crossed hands with vampire strongmen and the Black Duke, leaned close to Leo Ray’s ear and whispered softly, “Your subordinate can confirm, although the girl’s bloodline is not pure, she indeed comes from the Blood Clan!”

“Could she be a Vampire Retainer?”

Hearing this, curiosity appeared on Nolan’s face as he asked.

“Impossible, compared to ordinary vampires, Vampire Retainers who are converted from other races, despite gaining terrifying regenerative abilities, are even more fearful of sunlight, which does not match the girl’s behavior of basking directly in the sunlight.”

Jasper Richardson refuted Nolan’s suggestion and replied: “Besides, whether it’s a vampire or a converted Vampire Retainer, there are always some characteristics of the Blood Clan.”

“Like fangs, crimson lips, dark circles under the eyes, ears pointed between the Elf Tribe and Half-Elves, and so on. But this girl has none of these.”

As he spoke, a hint of confusion surfaced on Jasper Richardson’s delicate face: “She seems to be just a member of the Human Clan with a whiff of the Blood Clan’s aura. Your subordinate has never encountered such a strange case before.”

“The girl does not carry any trace of Illusion Technique disguises, truly no different from regular humans.”

Little Illusion put down the fish bone she had cleaned off, raised her eyebrows, and said, “The way vampires reproduce is completely different from other races; there aren’t special breeds like half-vampires. It has to be said, this girl is really quite bizarre.”

“Neither a vampire nor a Vampire Retainer, yet she carries a vampire’s aura?”

Leo Ray, listening to his subordinates’ quiet discussions, nodded thoughtfully: “It seems this may well be linked to the unresolved past of the Ironhand Archipelago.”

“Lord, are you suggesting that this girl comes from the Ironhand Archipelago?”

Qiana pondered and nodded, frowning: “But this little girl hasn’t even formed an Energy Vortex, and she doesn’t seem to have any companions. How did she cross the sea?”

“The girl is indeed full of mysteries; then let’s just go ahead and ask her directly.”

With a faint smile, Leo Ray rose from his seat.

“Please, I really need help!”

In front of the Mercenary Guild’s bar, the girl ignored the persuasion of the tavern guests and the young clerk, still shouting desperately: “Please help me! I beg you, please help me!”

“Stubborn little thing, if you don’t leave, uncle here will have to personally see you out.”

The muscular giant was clearly losing his patience, and his gaze grew a few shades darker: “Uncle doesn’t mind giving you a small taste of the adult world’s cruelty.”

Just as the muscular giant was about to get up to act, a broad palm was placed on his shoulder.

For a moment, the muscular giant felt an overwhelming pressure, rendering his body completely unable to move an inch.

Filled with shock, the muscular giant strained all his muscles and turned his head stiffly, finally seeing the owner of the broad palm.

It was a young man with a gentle smile, dressed like a common traveler, seemingly nothing out of the ordinary.

However, this apparently harmless smile was causing the Tier 2 Peak Muscly Giant to sweat profusely.

He clearly understood that this suddenly appearing young man was not someone he was capable of provoking!

Without need for further words, it was Leo Ray who had just walked over and stopped the muscular giant.

“Excuse us, gentlemen, this girl has been fascinated with the stories of the Wandering Poets since she was young, it seems she’s gotten lost in them again.”

Still maintaining the gentle smile, Leo Ray casually tossed down a few Gold Dragon coins: “Consider this as buying a drink for everyone.”

After these words, Leo Ray approached the girl and whispered: “Perhaps I can help you and your mother.”

Hearing this, a glimmer of light suddenly emerged in the girl’s previously dull starry eyes, and she quieted down.

Taking the girl from the noisy tavern, Leo Ray and his party soon arrived in a relatively secluded and high-end restaurant box.
