Finally, when the prince was almost impatient with waiting, another voice sounded faintly:

"Your Highness, please forgive me."

Thales turned around.

The auxiliary officer of the Kingdom of Darkness, Count Le Corleone, appeared silently, stood in front of him, and bowed respectfully:

"It is not my wish to trouble Your Highness like this on this mission, let alone Your Majesty Katerina's wish."

Thales stared at him for a long time.

But Li's expression remained the same, as if he was still in an ancient well.

Thales snorted.

"I understand, of course I understand, why not?"

What else can I do if I don’t understand?

Pull out your fangs?

The prince raised his head unhappily and looked at the night sky: "I guess you want to say that this is all forced by my father, right?"

Speaking of this, I understand it very well.

Li raised a very uncomfortable mechanical smile, neither admitting nor denying:

"Your Highness can understand, that's great..."

"Come on, come on, come on..."

Thales didn't want to get entangled in red tape with him anymore and got to the point:

"Tell me, what is the relationship between Lausanne II and you? How did he hook up with Federico? His purpose is related to-"

Thales paused for a moment: He found that from this moment on, Li Guan was frozen and motionless.

It's like he's lost in thought about the problem.

No matter what Thales said, there was no response.

Isn't it?

Are you pretending to be dead?

Thales took a deep breath:

"Okay, well, thank you for reminding me secretly, so I didn't follow Yannick's advice. I will remember your favor..."

But Li remained motionless.

Better than stone decay.

Thales had to say sincerely:

"Please, even if he leaves, your Kingdom of Darkness will lose its prestige and face..."

Just give it some flavor!

Li still didn't react at all.

"What's wrong? Are you asleep? Are you in trance? Hey! Hey!"

Thales couldn't help but stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

"Hey...it's dawn...the sun is coming out...Selena is here...Lanli is resurrected...Katerina is down..."

The next moment, Li suddenly looked up!

Thales was shocked.

"Very good. Now we can confirm that the fourth-generation junior has left the maximum range of eavesdropping." Li Dandan said.

Thales was stunned for a moment, and became angry when he realized what he was doing.

"That's why? Can you, next time -"

But Li seemed to know the right time to speak, and he spoke before the prince became angry.

"As far as I know, Lausanne II received at least one piece of source blood before his death, took it by himself, and was successfully reincarnated - do you know what source blood is?"

Thales had a meal.

Origin blood.

"Of course, who doesn't know about source blood yet?" Thales said calmly.

"That's why Lausanne II has no elders or relatives in the Kingdom of Night, no guidance and no one to discipline him. He is a natural outlier." Li Zheng said.

A born outlier.

The evil star?

Thales sighed.

"Okay, that was the origin blood given to him by some old guy outside the Kingdom of Darkness? And whose will was it? Is there any relationship--"

"It's not from the vampires."

Thales was startled:

"What?"

Li shook his head and said eloquently: "According to common sense, source blood can only be condensed by powerful vampires, and it will evaporate and lose effectiveness in a short period of time..."

His eyes turned cold:

"But what Lausanne II takes is the only solid source blood that can leave the body of the vampire and be stored in a vessel for a long time to maintain its effectiveness."

"Solid Source Blood?"

Thales reacted:

"That means Yannick was wrong. There are still people in the world who can pass through the blood of the stray people..."

"However, solid source blood is not something that the vampires themselves can or dare to create."

Li interrupted him. The count was serious and cold at the moment, making Thales couldn't help but fold his arms.

"It's the alchemy tower masters of the old days who used cruel special methods and expensive tools at the expense of the lives of one or even multiple vampires..."

Thales opened his eyes wide.

Li's tone was indifferent, but he closed his eyes:

"...It is made from the living, bloody and forcibly extracted bodies of our clan."

What?

Refined at the cost of life...

Wait, he just said...

"You mean, mage?" Thales said in surprise.

Li nodded, with confusion in his eyes:

"It's like the eternal oil extracted from the eternal whale and processed into synthetic oil."

"Mage, refining, life, solid source blood..." Thales muttered for several seconds.

He reacted:

"But at that time, why did the mage of the Alchemy Tower do this? Capture a vampire and then... study it? Or was it just pure hatred?"

"It's profit."

Li said softly.

"The reason why source blood is precious is that it can preserve the essence and vitality of life - when used on ordinary people, it can cure terminal diseases, the living dead, flesh and bones, and even extend youth and life span."

Heal terminal illness, live dead, flesh and bones, prolong life, evergreen...

Thales evaluated the meaning of these words and became more and more shocked.

Li closed his eyes and sighed.

“During the imperial era, even after the End War, before the signing of the Convention between Human Nations and the Immortal Species, for various reasons, many people—often big shots, including princes and generals—were willing to pay large sums of money to

Seeking origin blood and hunting our clan," he looked sad, "so the fate of many vampires is not perfect."

Thales was silent for a long time.

Li opened his eyes:

"But all in all, Lausanne II is not a direct descendant created by us - he was reincarnated from solid source blood into a blood race, which itself represents the tragedy of other members of his race."

He looked at Thales:

"When the Emerald City experienced drastic changes, he took Federico and fled to the Eastern Continent, and when he found us by instinct, he was already a vampire."

Thales' eyebrows moved:

"You mean, he escaped with Federico?"
