As soon as the little girl said this, the huge tavern burst into laughter.

"Little one, even young vampires have iconic fangs, and they must never see the sun. What kind of vampire are you?"

I saw a burly man at the table next to me glance at the bright sunshine coming in from the doorway, and joked to the girl who was exactly the same as a human being: "Go back to your mother to drink milk."

"That's right, over 100 years old?"

Another skinny sailor put down his wine glass and laughed loudly: "This little thing is actually older than my wrinkled grandmother!"

"Kid, did you hear that? If you lie, you will be laughed at by others."

The young female clerk looked at the girl helplessly, shook her head and said, "Let's go, this is not a place for children to play."

"I really didn't lie!"

Tears were welling up in the corners of the girl's eyes. On her childish face, her anxious look became more urgent: "Please, you are already my last hope!"

However, what she got in exchange was still the ridicule of the drinkers and the stern expulsion order from the young clerk.

"Lord, although it is extremely weak, that girl really exudes a vampire aura."

Jiang Li, who had fought against a strong vampire and a black duke, brought her mature and steady white face close to Lei Xiao's ear and whispered: "I can confirm that although the girl's bloodline is not pure, it does come from Bloodlines!"

"Could she be a vampire?"

Hearing the sound, Nolan couldn't help but have a hint of curiosity on his face, and asked.

"It's impossible. Compared to ordinary vampires, vampire relatives transformed from other races have increased terrifying regeneration abilities, but they are more afraid of the sun. This is different from the way the girl bathes directly in the sun. Totally inconsistent.”

Jiang Li denied Nolan's question and responded: "In addition, whether it is a vampire or a transformed vampire dependent, there are always some vampire characteristics."

"Such as fangs, scarlet lips, rich black eye circles, pointed ears between elves and half-elves, etc., but this girl has none of them."

When he said this, a trace of doubt appeared on Jiang Li's delicate face: "She seems to be just a human race with the aura of the vampire race. I have never encountered such a weird situation before."

"The girl's body does not have any illusion disguised aura, it is indeed no different from ordinary human beings."

Xiao Huan put down the fish bone that he had chewed clean in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said: "The reproduction method of vampires is completely different from other races, and there will be no special races such as half-vampires. I have to say, this girl is really wonderful."

"You are neither a vampire nor a vampire dependent, but you still have the aura of a vampire on your body?"

Lei Xiao listened to the low-pitched discussion of his subordinates, nodded thoughtfully and said: "It seems that this is likely to be related to the unexplored past events of the Iron Hand Islands."

"Lord, are you saying that this girl comes from the Iron Hand Islands?"

Chiduo pondered and nodded, frowning: "But this little girl didn't even condense an energy vortex, and she didn't look like she had a companion. How did she cross the sea?"

"Girls are indeed full of mysteries, so let's just ask each other directly."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly and immediately stood up from his seat.

"Please, I really need help!"

In front of the bar of the mercenary guild, the girl ignored the dissuasion of the drinkers and young clerks around her and still shouted hard: "Please help me! Please help me!"

"Stubborn little thing, if you don't leave, uncle will ask you out personally."

The burly man obviously lost his patience, and his eyes turned gloomy: "Uncle, I don't mind letting you experience the cruelty of the adult world."

After that, just when the sturdy man was about to get up and take action, a generous hand pressed on his shoulder.

For a moment, the sturdy man felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, and his body was unable to move at all.

With horror in his heart, the sturdy man turned his head stiffly with all his strength, and finally saw clearly the owner of that generous hand.

He was a young man with a gentle smile, dressed like an ordinary traveler, and there seemed to be nothing special about him.

However, this seemingly harmless smile caused cold sweat to break out on the forehead of the burly man who was at the peak of the second level of strength.

He clearly understood that this young man who suddenly appeared in front of him was definitely not someone he could mess with!

Needless to say, the one who stopped the sturdy man from getting up was Lei Xiao who had just walked over.

"Sorry to bother you all, this girl has loved bard stories since she was a child, and it seems she is addicted to them again this time."

Lei Xiao still maintained a gentle smile, threw down a few golden dragons and said, "I'll treat these as a drink for you all."

After that, Lei Xiao came to the girl's side again and whispered to her: "Maybe I can help you and your mother."

Hearing the sound, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in the girl's dull starry eyes, and she became quiet.

After taking the girl away from the noisy tavern, Lei Xiao and his group soon arrived at a relatively secluded private room of a high-end restaurant.

"Brother, are you really willing to help me?"

As soon as the girl entered the room, she rushed to Lei Xiao and asked, "Brother, do you believe that I am a member of the Vampire Clan?"

"Of course I believe it."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly, nodded and motioned for the other party to sit down, and said with a gentle face: "Little princess, what is your name?"

"My name is Bella, from Caibei Village."

The girl named Bella sat on the chair obediently, and soon her little face was full of urgency and said: "Brother, please save my mother and the villagers, they have been lying on the ground for many days!"

"Being down for many days?"

Lei Xiao first asked Chiduo to pour a cup of hot tea for Bella, and then asked: "Caibei Village? Is it located in the Iron Hand Islands? Tell big brother everything you know, and big brother will help you."

"To be honest, big brother, Bella is indeed from the Iron Hand Islands."

The girl held the steaming cup of tea in both hands and began to describe.

Through Bella's clear description, Lei Xiao learned.

Bella's village is located on the edge of Kawi Island in the Iron Hand Islands, which is the island closest to the Kingdom of Grim.

Since the "Blood Feast Ceremony" a hundred years ago, Bella has been living there peacefully with her mother, leading a stable and peaceful life.

Until five days ago, Bella's mother suddenly collapsed at home for no reason. When Bella went out to ask for help, she was surprised to find that.

All the villagers fainted on the ground and could not be woken up by various methods.

The only remaining children in the village who were similar to her age or younger were either looking at loss or crying loudly.

After hearing what Bella said, Lei Xiao and his subordinates started to look at each other.

According to Bella, although it has been confirmed that she is indeed from the Iron Hand Islands, the amount of information in her words is also a bit too huge.

"Bella, what is the "Blood Feast Ceremony"? "

Lei Xiao took a sip of hot tea and asked curiously.

"Actually, I don't know the specific meaning. I just heard my mother and villagers mention it occasionally."

Bella tilted her head and responded: "But what is certain is that after the "Blood Feast Ceremony" a hundred years ago, we who were originally human race became part of the blood race. "

"Lord, it seems that the reason why the Iron Hand Islands are completely closed is obviously closely related to the "Blood Feast Ceremony", and the time can also be matched. "

Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully and said to Lei Xiao: "No wonder little Bella looks completely like a human race, but strangely has the aura of a blood race. This "Blood Feast Ceremony" is the key location. "

"In this way, things can indeed be explained."

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Bella, are you saying that after going through the "Blood Feast Ceremony", you, your mother, and the other villagers will all become part of the vampire clan? "

"That's right, big brother, after becoming a member of the vampire clan, everyone is in very good health, and their wounds can heal quickly, without even needing to **** blood!"

Bella nodded heavily and responded: "Not just our village, but the entire human race in the Iron Hand Islands have all become part of the Blood Clan."

"What?"

As soon as Bella said this, Lei Xiao and everyone were once again filled with surprise and began to look at each other.

You must know that the population of the Iron Hand Islands is not large, and it is located in the middle of the seven human nations.

It would be unimaginable if the entire island were filled with vampires.

After all, vampires possess terrifying regeneration abilities and strong physical fitness, which are far beyond what ordinary humans can match.

The reason why vampires were driven to the Iron Hand Islands was precisely because they were sparsely populated and outnumbered.

Moreover, it is not difficult to hear it from Bella's words just now.

After becoming a member of the Vampire Clan, they not only gained a healthy body and superb regeneration ability, but also had a long lifespan like a real Vampire Clan.

In other words, Bella didn't lie before. She was indeed over a hundred years old. However, the lifespan of the vampires was comparable to that of the elves, so it was not surprising that they were stunted.

"So this is the truth behind why the Iron Hand Islands blocked everything a hundred years ago?"

"The purpose is to launch the "Blood Feast Ceremony" and transform all human races in the entire country into vampires. "

Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin, connecting everything.

"What the Lord said is absolutely true. This extremely dangerous and threatening thing will never be allowed by other human nations and neutral organizations."

The white knight's tone was solemn and he nodded to Lei Xiao.

"But having said that, the "Blood Feast Ceremony" can actually convert such a large number of humans into vampires. How is this done? "

Qiduo's fair face was full of surprise, and she said in disbelief: "After all, even if the vampires develop dependents, they will have strict quantitative restrictions based on their own strength, and there will never be wanton development."

"This is still unknown, but what is certain is that the "Blood Feast Ceremony" is not perfect, otherwise the Iron Hand Islands would not have remained silent for a hundred years after it was successfully launched. "

Lei Xiao tapped the table with his fingers and muttered: "In other words, the "Blood Feast Ceremony" did not achieve the ideal effect of the ruler of the Iron Hand Islands. It must have great limitations, otherwise a million-scale The vampire army has already overrun the human nations. "

"Prince's Palace... No, Lord Lord's analysis makes sense."

While Chiduo leaned down to pour tea for Lei Xiao, she echoed: "And the unexplained coma of Little Bella's mother and the villagers may also be related to the restrictions of the "Blood Feast Ceremony". "

"I think so too."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and asked the girl again: "Bella, please continue."

"I understand, big brother."

Bella nodded obediently and began to describe again.

After all the adults in the village fell into coma, Bella and the other children negotiated and divided them into two parts.

Some stayed in the village to take care of the unconscious adults and younger children, while others went out to seek help. Bella was among the team that went out to seek help.

"At first, we walked to the surrounding towns, but when we got there, we found that all the adults and soldiers in the towns were unconscious. Even other islands were not spared, because there were also teenagers from other islands. Girls came for help.”

Bella's starry eyes dimmed, and her voice became more trembling.

"We had no choice but to return to the village, only to find that the breathing of my mother and other villagers became weaker and weaker, and they were about to die."

When Bella said this, her eye circles turned red again, with a look of helplessness on her face.

"In desperation, I remembered my mother once said that there are other people living on the other side of the sea, so I gritted my teeth and crossed the sea."

"After finally landing successfully, I made some inquiries until I arrived at the tavern where I tried to ask for help from the mercenaries."

"But the result is that no one believed what I said, and they all thought I was an unreasonable child."

Bella's thin shoulders began to tremble continuously, and she couldn't help sobbing softly: "But I just want to save my mother and everyone in the village."

"So that's it."

Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, patted the girl's shoulder gently and said, "Don't worry, we will go to the Iron Hand Islands to save your mother and the villagers."

Lei Xiao clearly understood, and it was not difficult to hear it through Bella's description.

Today's Iron Hand Islands have obviously encountered unknown difficulties, which has caused everyone to be in a coma, or even in danger.

And the source of all this may be inextricably linked to the "Blood Feast Ceremony" a hundred years ago.

At this point, things are simple.

As long as we understand the ins and outs of the matter~lightnovelpub.net~ and help the Iron Hand Islands solve this problem, it will undoubtedly be an opportunity to win over the other party.

"Brother, are you serious?"

Bella's starry eyes lit up, and she hugged Lei Xiao's arm tightly, as if she was grasping the last straw.

"of course it's true."

Although it was a bit inappropriate for a girl whose real age was over 100 years old to call her elder brother, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and gently touched Bella's head.

"Great! Thank you, big brother!"

Bella's face was filled with joy as she suddenly felt relaxed, and then her stomach growled uncontrollably.

She had not eaten for a day and a night and was already hungry.

"First fill your stomach, we will set off immediately."

Lei Xiao looked at the blushing girl, smiled helplessly, and immediately ordered some quick-cooking meals.
