Chapter 126: Vampire Royalty

The girl was still sitting inside her room, waiting for her father to get here.

Her red eyes gazed out the window, hoping to see her father's silhouette. She wanted to raid the mansion of the city lord and free the person that had been kidnapped as fast as she could.

The girl's name was Halia. She was the daughter of the General of the Vampire Clan of the North. The General of the Vampire Clan, Viden, was said to be the second strongest Vampire in the whole Clan, right after the Vampire King himself. Even though he was the second strongest Vampire, there was a wide gap between him and the Vampire King of the Vampire Clan.

The Vampire King was equal in strength to the High Dukes of the Demon Realm, whereas the Vampire General Viden was equal to a Duke from the Demon Realm.

Halia waited for her father eagerly. She was sure that her father would be here as soon as he got the message.

Ryder and the others reached the small town that was just outside the Valley of Wandering Souls. The city was small and only had ten or so wooden huts.

Ryder told Rale to take him down.

They all landed in the center of the town. There was a stone wall right beside the place they landed.

Ryder glanced inside the well and found it void of water. The well was not too deep so that he could see the bottom of it clearly.

Many broken skeleton bones and pieces of bodies were lying inside.

"Ancient Hobbit Salaka mentioned in the book that when he came here, there were Undeads living here and the well was filled with crystal clear water that increased his strength by a little. Whatever happened here should've happened after he gave that pearl back to the guardian of Wandering Soul and left," Ryder muttered with a thoughtful look on his face.

'Something big definitely happened here. I hope the Pearl is still inside. I don't want the unsealing fragment to be lost again,' he thought.

"You guys have constantly been flying, take rest for the night. I don't know if we'll get the opportunity or not once we enter the Valley of Wandering Souls," Ryder said.

The others agreed and found a place to rest.

"Aren't you going to go?" Ryder asked Rale, who was still beside him.

"I'm not tired, Your Highness," Rale replied.

" Go and rest, Rale. Even if you're not tired. Anyway, I'll be missing for the night. Don't try to search for me. And if you see anyone coming here, just hide," Ryder told Rale.

Rale heard his words and became confused.

"You'll be missing for the night?" Rale asked Ryder.

"Yeah, I have an item given to me by my master. Using that, I can sleep in a different space. You and no one would be able to see me after that," Ryder told Rale.

"Oh, alright. I'll wait for the night then. Have a great night, Your Highness," Rale said to Ryder, but he didn't leave as if he was waiting for Ryder to go first.

Ryder smiled wryly as he opened his system screen. He tapped on [Log Out] and left the game.

"Amazing. There's even a treasure like that. It's good. At Least His Highness can use that to keep him safe when he sleeps," Rale muttered as he looked towards the spot Ryder was standing.

Vampire General Viden reached the City of Vrykolakas at his best speed.

He landed at the center of the town as he let out loud.

"Halia, Where are you?"

Halia heard her father's voice and jumped outside the window.

She ran to her father and hugged him.

"Tell me what exactly happened here," Vampire General Viden asked her.

"Uncle Ren and I had decided to stay in the city for the day and leave at night. He went out for a walk during the afternoon, but he didn't come back. I searched the whole city, but I didn't find him. I think that he was kidnapped. Only the City Lord here is strong enough to kidnap him!" She said.

"He dared to harm one of my guys? Come with me," Vampire General Viden said.

He caught the hands of the girl and walked towards the biggest mansion in the city.

The guards had already informed the City Lord about the commotion, and he was in a hurry to leave his mansion to see what was happening, but as soon as he got near the door, the doors broke apart as they flew towards the City Lord. The City Lord dodged the heavy metallic doors.

He looked towards the entrance.

"General Viden, did I do something to make you so angry?" City Lord Feil asked Vampire General Viden politely.

Time seemed to have stopped as Vampire General Viden moved from his position and appeared in front of the City Lord.

He gripped his neck and raised him high in the air.

"Where is Ren!"

"Who is Ren? I don't know what you're talking about," City Lord Feil replied. He looked confused.

"He's the person I sent with my daughter! He's missing since the afternoon. Are you telling me that he went missing in your city, and you have no hand in it?" Vampire General Viden asked.

City Lord Feil saw the sharp teeth of Vampire General Viden, and he could feel the grip on his neck tightening. If it kept tightening like this, in no time, his neck would be utterly crushed.

"I... I don't know anything about it. I wasn't even in the city at that time. I came back in the evening!" City Lord Feil said.

"Is there anyone in this city as strong as you? He was only slightly weaker than you. Do you want me to believe that excuse?" Vampire General Viden asked.

City Lord Feil was having a hard time breathing now.

"There was a person in the city who was even stronger than me here today. My daughter talked about them when I returned; maybe it was them!" City Lord Feil replied. "In fact, they left this place in the afternoon as well!"

"Who?" Vampire General Viden asked.

"They were Vampire Royalties. A group of 22 Vampires, all dressed in Dark Cloaks. You can ask anyone in the city. Everyone saw them! I know the power of Vampires full well. Why would I harm a Vampire in my own city?!" City Lord Feil replied.

"Vampire Royalty? Tell me everything!"

Vampire General Viden released his grip from the neck of the City Lord, which made him fall down.
