The smell from the terrace spread into the lobby and caused some commotion.

After all, this was a banquet held in the Grand Duke's castle, and the best blood was indispensable during the banquet.

But the aroma wafting over from the terrace was so different. Even at this banquet where the smell of blood and perfume were mixed, it suddenly occupied the nostrils.

...It was obviously very light, but it easily aroused the appetite of all the vampires present.

Those who are qualified to get the tickets for this banquet are already the best among the vampires. But even among these high-level vampires, there are still people who can't help but show their fangs under the temptation of this fragrance...

Their eyes couldn't help but cast their gaze towards the terrace, and some of the impatient ones had even taken a few steps there.

But the pressure coming from their blood caused them to stop their movements instantly.

The noisy banquet fell silent for an instant, and these usually proud vampires bowed their heads deeply towards the terrace.

The background was obviously a gorgeously decorated banquet hall, but the action of all the vampires saluting in one direction suddenly made the atmosphere solemn.

That is...their king.

On the terrace, Bai Mu was also surprised by the sudden appearance of Ransted.

Especially when the other person took his hand and put the finger that was still bleeding into his mouth.

Bai Mu:!!!

He almost jumped.

Every pore in his body was screaming for rejection, but Bai Mu still suppressed the urge to withdraw his hand. He tried to comfort himself: don't panic, this is the basic operation of a substitute.

Bai Mu is no longer a newbie in the first world. As a substitute for so many years, he has a profound understanding of the truth: no matter how good the protagonist is against him now, how miserable he will be when the protagonist comes back...

Thinking about it this way, I can't even laugh anymore.

At this moment, the young vampire opposite had already fallen to his knees.

The pressure from his bloodline left him unable to even lift his head, and Bai Mu couldn't see the little vampire's expression, but it didn't stop him from seeing the fear in the other's trembling body.

Bai Mu:......

You are so cowardly, how dare you provoke me? Doesn’t he look easy to bully?

Just as Bai Mu was thinking this, Ransted already spoke slowly, "From the Laius family?"

His words were as gentle as ever, but the little vampire kneeling on the ground was shaking even more. It looked like he wanted to shrink himself into a bat. He responded with a weak and short "yes", and then couldn't say no with another sound.

Out.

Ranstead: "It's time for Cedric to take better care of his heirs."

The little vampire who came to provoke was finally taken back by a brown-haired young man - it should be the Cedric in Ransted's mouth. But... the look in the other person's eyes almost clearly said "trouble".

Bai Mu:......

Can you please be reasonable? Even if it is a "disaster", it is the "disaster" suffered by the protagonist, and it has nothing to do with him?

Just when Bai Mu thought that the plot would continue to develop slowly like this, waiting for the protagonist to return, the plot stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and sped up.

Starting from the Holy See and the Hunter Association joining hands to besiege the territory of a certain vampire count, humans and vampires officially declared war.

To be honest, Bai Mu was a little surprised... It's not that the timing was wrong.

As an amnesiac, he has been crazily studying the world framework during this period. Of course, he also knows about the so-called "peace agreement" signed between humans and the vampires six hundred years ago - in the eyes of the vampires, this thing is probably equivalent to a defeat that humiliates the country and loses its power.

Treaties are still magical.

The binding force of the agreement is declining year by year. Depending on the degree of resentment of the vampires against it, there will be such a war between humans and the vampires sooner or later, but Bai Mu believes that the vampires will be the first to launch a war.

——After all, it is a battle of revenge and avenge.

For humans, the situation is exactly the opposite: with the protection of the agreement, they can live a stable life in a safe area, so why take the risk of starting a war?

There are not without wise men among human beings who can see the danger behind this tranquility.

But for most civilians, living a good life now is all they want. As for the future, as for the future of mankind, what does it have to do with them?

But the fight has already begun, and Bai Mu now has no point in thinking about the reason.

Perhaps there is another charismatic leader among human beings who can lead people's hearts...

This is not a joke either.

Looking at the protagonist Shou who has been hanging around the front line on the system map during this period, this one is very suspicious.

Although the development of things was not as he expected, Bai Mu was still very clear about what he wanted to do next - go to the front line!

If you don't go to the front line, how can you meet the protagonist Shou? If you can't meet the protagonist Shou, what will happen to his mission?

During this period, Bai Mu, based on his judgment at the banquet that day, very realistically played the role of a stand-in who was arrogant, domineering, and arrogant. He had no power at all and was just waiting for the protagonist to be slapped in the face.

——Although the system has said that this personality is a bit biased, it can tell that it is wrong, but it cannot tell what is wrong... It is confusing and has no effect. It is basically equivalent to not saying anything.

Bai Mu had no choice but to go to the dark side... Anyway, he had amnesia as an excuse, and even if there was a problem, it was the protagonist's fault.

In short, so far, Bai Mu has not met any vampire who expressed surprise at his changes.

Therefore, according to this character, Bai Mu went directly to Lansid and confidently stated that he wanted to follow him to the front line.

Bai Mu felt that the protagonist must have done something to offend the protagonist before attacking, so now he was begging for him as a substitute. It seemed that no matter what Bai Mu did, he would agree.

The previous mission of being cannon fodder made Bai Mu deeply understand that the happy time of a substitute is only such a short period of time, and Bai Mu felt confident about this.

He thought this time it was just an ordinary request, but after Bai Mu asked to "go to the front line," Lansid didn't agree immediately. Instead, he looked at him with a deep expression.

Bai Mu:???

Is he an illusion? He seemed to see that it was always the same expression. He could be regarded as a different kind of butler with facial paralysis, and his expression seemed to change in an instant.

However, when Bai Mu looked at it again, his expression had returned to normal, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Finally, Lanstead agreed to this request.

Bai Mu followed the boss to the front line.

To be honest, the situation of the vampires is not good.

With the binding force of the "agreement", the vampires who entered the human realm were severely weakened.

Priests and hunters, however, can break into the territory of the vampires without any scruples.

——This is not fair!!

This is probably what all rational vampires are cursing crazily in their hearts.

However, there is no fairness in this world...

Is it fair to have an endless lifespan that is so long that it is almost infinite, and there is no other way to kill other than to dig out the heart or cut off the neck? Is it fair to have supernatural abilities that are far beyond human beings? Thousands of years ago, they raised humans as livestock.

Is what he did fair?

——Only strength is the guarantee of fairness.

Although Bai Mu is still a vampire now, when he saw this situation, he had to say "Well done"! He should have done this long ago when the constraints of the "agreement" were first loosened!

——What should I do if the "contract" expires? Renew it!

…

Although he was gloating about his misfortune, Bai Mu swore by his professionalism that he was secretly happy in his heart and never showed even a little bit of it on the outside.

But he always felt that... Lansid's attitude was a little strange, as if he had discovered something.

Although he is quite confident in his acting skills and can be prepared for emergencies, Bai Mu still avoids Lanstead these days.

——And now that he is here, the task of "assassinating the protagonist Shou" x3 should also be considered. This matter must not be leaked to the protagonist Gong.

Bai Mu hid more confidently.

Because of the existence of the agreement, no vampire with any brains wants to run into human territory.

In response to the menacing human offensive, they all used the degraded species to save their lives. They stayed in the castle at the back where they should have entertainment and hold banquets, as if they were not affected at all...

It's not that they didn't know that hunters and priests would attack, but their long-term arrogance has made these vampires always look down on humans from above - they just rely on the constraints of the "agreement" to struggle to gain a little bit in the corner of the world.

They are just ants in a place of respite. Not worthy of attention.

They obviously have a long life, but they seem to have forgotten that six hundred years ago, it was just two humans who forced them to sign this so-called "agreement" that showed shame.

…

With the arrival of Ransted, he naturally occupied the castle of Viscount Vandor, the lord of this land.

This Viscount Fando is the one mentioned above, a typical vampire "noble" who has no sense of crisis in "war" and despises human beings.

He did not take the Holy See's Holy Legion that was still advancing forward at all. For him, it was not as important as how to hold a grand banquet to welcome the Grand Duke who came from afar: if the Grand Duke was generous, he could give

With a drop of his blood, his strength will immediately increase tremendously.

…

The banquet was indeed prepared very luxuriously, and in Bai Mu's opinion, it was nothing short of what he saw at Lipuch Castle.

That's right...

Bai Mu felt that Viscount Fanduo was flattering him, and even Bai Mu could sense that Lansid was unhappy.

Yes, there is a war ahead, and the lords on the border are so ambitious that they hold a banquet... That means the vampires are in a special situation. If it had been in the last world, that little bastard would have picked up a sword to kill people.

Even so, Bai Mu had a feeling that Viscount Fanduo was going to be cold...

Moreover, I am afraid that even the vampires at this entire banquet will be disappointed.

Therefore, Bai Mu no longer wasted energy and emotion on these vampires who came forward to please them. After initially dealing with them, he hid in the garden outside the castle.

He originally came out to hide for a while, but as soon as he came out of the castle, he realized something was wrong.

Without the polite conversations with aristocratic accents against the background of melodious music, the silence outside was too abrupt.

It's not the kind of silence without the chirping of insects and birds (these sounds are rare in winter), but another kind of silence... where even the sound of the wind disappears.

Everything around him seemed to be telling him——
