Chapter 465: Chapter 465 White Manor

These completely unconscious Pale Blood Descendants, devoid of any rationality, couldn’t provide any useful information. They had no option but to press on.

Thirty minutes.

One hour.

Two hours.

Four hours…

Under the guidance of the local resident, Simon, they explored various regions of the mountains where the Count’s pets might possibly be. They searched thoroughly and patiently, but their efforts yielded no results.

In the process, they’d come across various Blood Descendant squads.

The types of Blood Descendants varied widely, many were special categories similar to Pale Blood Descendants.

They’d even encountered a Pure Blood type, which was likened to a Slime Monster, a mass of blood that used the eyeballs it collected from corpses to observe its surroundings.

Even if only one drop of blood remained, it could survive. During the conflict, it almost managed to escape, but Han Dong manipulated the Yellow Sand covertly, disbursed and disintegrated the droplet of blood that was fleeing underground.

Meanwhile, Jane manipulated shadows in cooperation with Dumps’ Magic Array, effectively binding an entire Blood Descendant team with sound consciousness.

Then, through Lenze’s horrifying Dead Spirit Skill, enacted a terrifying interrogation. . . Any beings of sound consciousness could definitely be compelled to spill their secrets by Lenze.

Eventually, they got three key pieces of information.

First, the Count himself issued a wanted order.

The reward was a whole bottle of pure high-end Blood Brew. All the forces in the Scarlet Manor were moved by it, and every Baron began to Act secretly, activating various reconnaissance methods.

This was why even the foot of the mountains, where the manor had no business being, was patrolled by many small squads.

Clearly… The Count’s offer of such a generous reward for capturing the Knight Squad that came to the mountain area was precisely because of the unique nature of Lucius.

Second, related to the problem of different Blood Descendants.

The Count had six Barons that had reached the rank of New Born-Demons, each of them controlling an independent sub-manor, and each differing in ‘style’.

The Pale Blood Descendants, who Lucius was first able to resolve, originated from the Baron of the White Manor located in the Central Southern part, the Baron-White Ghost. Rumor has it that he was a mentally ill individual afflicted with albinism, septicemia and a severe case of Thirst for Blood Disease. Yet his strong will allowed him to perpetually toe the line of insanity.

Each Baron had unique traits due to their varying styles, hence their Blood Descendants also had distinctive characteristics.

Therefore, the Count delegated different sub-manors to them for developing their own Blood Descendants… But overall, they were still under the control of the Count, and existed connections in secret.

Thirdly, information they had obtained with great difficulty from a Blood Descendant who originated from the main manor.

Abe’s target, the Mix-Beast Demon, for special reasons, had been temporarily called back to the main manor by the Count. It seemed that it was just about time for its meal, and it was unknown when it would be let out again.

…

Within a hidden cave somewhere in the belly of the mountains.

The cave entrance was blocked with rocks by Simon.

As they’d killed more than forty Blood Descendants on this journey, half of them were killed by Lucius.

A fall of the hand, stripping off the blood, instant death…

Even Different People like Simon who only recognized the Lord in the beginning, had developed a sense of awe for the leading man, Lucius.

Abe said, “Right now we are wanted everywhere, and my target may stay a long time in the main manor. The risk is too high; it’s not worth it for everyone to take a risk for me.

I still have a full year in my senior year. We’ll return to the city first this time.

Thank you, senior, for taking care of us all the way. Once things calm down here, I’ll bring my grandfather’s Knight Regiment to hunt down the demon.”

Based on the current intelligence, Abe decided to give up.

Indeed.

Under the circumstances of the Count personally issuing a wanted order, continuing to venture deeper would likely face multiple demons… Even if the power of the Blood Knights was formidable, the squad would collapse.

Just then,

Lucius made an extraordinary decision.

“My investigation mission isn’t completely over… I need to bring back a bottle of a Baron’s blood to the Holy City.

When Captain Shaia instructed me to leave the city, she said something that seemed to be consolation but actually was a special request for me.”

The team members wanted to retort, but this was the requirement of their captain.

Just then, Han Dong surprisingly chimed in:

“Since that is senior Lucius’s request, let’s just do it… In fact, the Count made a high-value offer for us. Seen from a different perspective, this might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Since the reward is only one bottle of precious Blood Brew, there will naturally be invisible competition among the six Barons.

As long as one of the Barons finds our traces, he would definitely not share this information with other Barons… The lust for Blood Brew will make them to venture alone, trying to capture us using their individual power.

We just need to step into one of the Baron’s manors and acquire the blood that the captain wants.

With the overwhelming power of Captain Lucius, combined with Jane’s unbeatable assassination and Lenze’s restraining Dead Spirit Skill, it is more than enough to defeat a Newly Born Demon.

As for the small minions around the Baron’s Manor, it would be our responsibility, the three of us, to clean them up.

Perhaps we could even get important information from the Baron, helping younger sister and brother established their position in the Knight Regiment.”

Han Dong was quite right, he took this opportunity to ingratiate himself, the past grudges may be written off in one stroke.

Lucius looked at Han Dong with a peculiar gaze. It was evident that Han Dong had leadership abilities for making deductions quickly under such circumstances.

It was just that Han Dong had been more restrained on the way and hadn’t spoken out.

“Well…” Lucius nodded slightly, “Nicholas is right… The news will not be shared, under the temptation of Blood Brew, the Barons will try to enjoy us all by himself.

Let’s do it this way!

As soon as we obtain a Baron’s blood, we will immediately return to the city. Do you have any suggestions?”

“OK!”

Jane and Lenze also nodded their heads one after the other.

As long as they didn’t touch the Count, everything was under the control of the squad.

At this point, the Different Person, Simon, added:

“If you can kill a Baron, I will rally all of my clan members to excavate a path from the Baron’s Manor to the outside of the Alagard Mountain Range at the fastest speed.

I’ll make sure you get out of here safely.”

And so, what seemed to be a flawless plan was settled.

The chosen destination was actually the nearby ‘White Manor’.

The Manor which focused on thirst and madness, even if the squad members revealed their identities within the manor, the Baron suffering from severe Thirst for Blood Disease would certainly keep it a secret for he would necessarily covet the Blood Brew reward for himself.

“Hmm? Have all the red blood cells been completely sucked up?”

They were let down the mountain road by Simon and gradually approached the ‘White Manor’ located in the mountains. The plants in this area were surprisingly covered with white spots, the few large trees near the Manor had completely turned white.

White leaves were scattered all over the ground, it did provide a pleasant scenery.

However… Under the white trees surrounding the manor, several Pale Blood Descendants were tethered with iron chains, serving as watchdogs for the manor.
