Cauldron said in confusion: “It seems you really believe he will create a miracle.”
Lathel shrugged, refusing to answer.
“Anyway…” Cauldron continued: “Do you want to study to become a Pharmacist Enchanter? Anyway, I’m confident that even the soul residing inside Alec’s necklace and Lilith can’t compare to me.”
Lathel sat on the grass, his back leaning against a large stone, as he looked up at the sky.
He didn’t think that he would be able to see the sky on the 30th floor of the Enchanter Tower.
This seemed to be a completely different place, it was like a pocket space and it was extremely large. There was even a cool breeze blowing that made him feel extremely comfortable.
The scent of the grass, soil, and trees in the wind made him feel sleepy because it was so comfortable.
“Oy! Oy! Oy! Did you hear what I said?”
Lathel sighed: “I heard you clearly, you don’t need to raise your voice so loudly. Sorry, I still maintain my opinion, I don’t want to learn.”
“Why?”
“I’m lazy!”
“??!!!” Countless question marks appeared in Cauldron’s head. This was the first time he heard such a ridiculous reason.
“Did you know that…”
“If you are going to talk about your glorious past then I need to apologize a second time because I don’t want to hear it.”
Cauldron: “…”
Lathel sat still for a moment, then he sighed again and stood up, and walked towards Lafien.
Lafien frowned, as she looked at Lathel who was standing in front of her, and holding a small box in his hand.
Lathel took a deep breath and said: “Sorry… I… I shouldn’t have yelled at you like that. Consider this a gift from me to apologize to you.”
Lafien wanted to continue being angry, but seeing his embarrassed appearance, she pouted, snatched the box from his hand, and said sulkily: “I’ll let you go this time.”
Lathel sighed: “Good! Thank you for forgiving me.”
“Huh!” Lafien opened the box,?inside were four dango-like cakes wrapped in leaves.
“This is…”
“A kind of sticky rice cake…”
“Glutinous rice cake?”
“Ay! Don’t ask anymore, even if I explain, you won’t understand. Try it…”
Lafien picked up a cake and felt it was a bit soft like slime, moreover the color and shape of it were quite lovely.
She took a bite of the cake and immediately found it hard to believe that such a delicious cake could exist in this world.
“This…” Lafien suddenly said: “Are you the one who made this?”
“Um…” Lathel nodded slightly.
Lafien glanced at him and said softly: “This time I’ll forgive you, but I won’t let you yell at me.”
Lathel felt that Lafien’s words were a bit similar to Lilith’s, no, completely similar.
He felt like he was looking after a group of sulky children today.
“Okay! I won’t yell at you anymore.” Lathel sighed and said.
Lafien suddenly felt a little happy and sat with Charlotte to eat her cake.
Lathel was about to return to his seat when Lafien suddenly spoke: “Lathel…”
“Hmm?!”
“Why…” Lafien stammered: “Why did you save me then?”
“Then?” Lathel was puzzled, he tilted his head to look at her, his eyes staring into her eyes.
“What I mean is… why were you in front of me at that time, blocking that fireball for me?” Lafien gritted her teeth and said.
Lathel looked at Lafien for a moment then said softly: “Because you appeared to protect me. When you said I should go, and that you would save Charlotte, at that moment, I realized we were friends.”
“Friends?” Lafien felt amused: “I saved Charlotte because I needed her. As you said, I have now become a blood vessel for her, and I’m bound by a blood contract. If I lose her, I will also die.”
“I saved her just for my own sake, not because I’m kind, do you understand?”
“I understand.” Lathel nodded slightly: “But… you could have also made me stay, but you chose to let me run first, right?”
Lafien glanced at Lathel, then bowed her head and said: “You are truly a fool. If you act like that, you won’t be able to live in this cruel world for long.”
“Is that so…” Lathel looked up at the sky, smiled and said: “I feel like I will live here for a long time.”
“Besides… I can’t let a girl get hurt protecting me.”
“You…” Lafien was startled, she turned her head to look towards Lathel.
He continued: “But luckily everything is fine. After all, I am a half-vampire. Even if I’m injured, I can recover quickly.”
“But I’m also a half-vampire.” Lafien frowned and said.
Lathel looked at her with?surprise: “Ah! Hahaha… I forgot.”
Lafien pouted: “Idiot.”
“Oy! I blocked a fireball for you, now you say I’m an idiot?
“Stupid! Super idiot!”
“Ah! Okay, you can say whatever you want.” Lathel sighed and stood up, then returned to his seat.
Lafien bowed her head, her face a little red, she smiled happily while eating the cake, she muttered: “The cake is very delicious, idiot.”
Charlotte raised her head to look at Lathel, then looked at Lafien for a moment, she then finally bowed her head and continued eating.
Lathel returned to his seat, feeling a bit tired. Lafien suddenly scolded him, making him feel confused, but he didn’t care too much.
Even though she was very beautiful, very strong, and her body was very… attractive, if she didn’t like him, he wouldn’t want to try to flirt with her.
After all, everyone has the freedom to love someone, even if he is from another world, he cannot force Lafien to love him.
Even if Lafien is bound to him because of a blood contract, he will still find a way to let her leave. Of course, that is the way to help her become a normal person, no longer a half-vampire.
“Kid, it seems like she likes you.”
Lathel: “…”
He felt like he had heard this sentence once before. Lathel sighed and said: “Cauldron, it seems like yesterday you said Charlotte also liked me, right?”
“That’s right.” Cauldron did not deny it, on the contrary, he said frankly: “Charlotte likes you, Lafien also likes you, it’s just… Lafien doesn’t seem to express it clearly, she needs a little more time.”
“Don’t worry, if you continue to treat her well, I guarantee that within a month, she will become your woman.”
Lathel: “…”
“Cauldron, I don’t want to discuss this matter anymore. Charlotte and Lafien are only bound to me by blood contract.” He sighed and said: “If it weren’t for the blood contract, I would be alone right now, doing everything freely.”
“I feel like you don’t believe me. Kid, have you ever loved anyone?
Hearing Cauldron’s question, Lathel suddenly remembered his wife on Earth. That memory was like a knife stabbing into his heart.
Lathel shook his head and said: “I used to, but I don’t want to remember anymore.”
“Ah! So you have experienced love, so everything will be easier.”
“I said don’t mention it again.”
“Alright! I know.” Cauldron sighed and said.
Lathel suddenly asked: “Cauldron, do you know how to break the blood contract?”
“No.” Cauldron immediately replied: “A blood contract is formed after a Vampire sucks the blood of another person. Only when one of them dies does the blood contract disappear.”
“But… Do I have to stay by Charlotte’s side for the rest of my life?”
“That’s right.”
Lathel rubbed her chin and said: “Then I just need to withdraw my blood and store it in the storage space. If Charlotte needs it, she can drink my blood whenever she wants.”
“You… stupid!” Cauldron shouted: “I said… the first person a Vampire sucks blood from is very, very important.”
“Damn it! I need to throw this pile of theories into your brain right away. Be quiet and listen to my explanation.”
“You were the first person she sucked blood from. Normally speaking, you are her main source of food, a humanoid blood vessel.”
“To put it elegantly, you are the knight, and she is the princess. Your fate and hers are like two strings tightly tied together, inseparable.”
“Charlotte can suck the blood of others, but to maintain life and beauty, only your blood is effective because you are the first person whose blood she sucked.”
“Each pureblood Vampire can only use a blood contract with one person and that person is also the first person they suck blood from.”
“The blood contract will slowly weaken, like a burning candle. It will slowly fade away, but to avoid that, she will continuously suck your blood to continue strengthening the blood contract.”
“What will happen if the blood contract weakens or even disappears?” Lathel asked confusedly.
Cauldron continued: “Simply, when the blood contract weakens, you will gradually lose the ability to control yourself. You will be like a monster, as you will start sucking the blood of everyone around you to satisfy your thirst for blood.”
“If the blood contract disappears then congratulations, you have completely become a monster, and there is no way to save you anymore.” .𝒎
Lathel shivered hearing that.
Cauldron: “To be more precise, she needs you to stay alive, level up, and maintain her youthful appearance.”
“You also need her to strengthen the blood contract. Of course, you also benefit a lot from the blood contract.”
“Your fate and Charlotte’s, are linked together, inseparable.”
Hearing that, Lathel rubbed her chin: “What about Lafien? Charlotte also sucked her blood. Perhaps there is also a blood contract between Lafien and Charlotte.”
“There isn’t!” Cauldron said: “There is no blood contract between them, only a blood slave contract.”
“She also has the benefits you have, but their effects are only one-tenth of yours.”
“However, she is inferior to you. Charlotte can suck her blood to strengthen the blood slave contract, but Lafien’s blood cannot satisfy Charlotte and help her prolong her life.”
“However, Lafien needs Charlotte to strengthen the blood slave contract, otherwise, the consequences will be the same as yours.”
“In other words, Lafien needs Charlotte, but for Charlotte, whether Lafien exists or not is not important.”
Lathel nodded, he felt that he understood what was happening to him: “So, the hierarchy will be like a pyramid, Charlotte will be at the top of the pyramid, I will be right below her, Lafien below me, the rest are the ones I, Charlotte or Lafien will bite next.”
“That’s right, you’re starting to get smarter.” Cauldron said contemptuously.
Lathel: “…”
