Chapter 36 The Duke
Seeing the vampires dressed as boatmen scrambling to move, standing behind Charles, James' body grew rapidly. He carried the steel with the mouth of a bowl on his shoulder with one hand, and the commotion subsided immediately.
Charles turned to look at the blind man next to him, "When will the two dukes you mentioned arrive??"
"Under normal circumstances, they are all in the mausoleum in the center of the island. It may take half a day to get here,"
"very good."
Charles pointed to the Narwhal next to him, and said to the director of the vampire factory in front of him, "I'll give you 3 hours to install the turbine. Otherwise, Durand will be your end."
A guy with a beard among the boatmen stood up and said emotionally: "It's impossible!! Do you know how troublesome it is to change a turbine?"
"The chief engineer."
As soon as Charles gave the order, a steel bar behind him whizzed and smashed on the bearded body.
The distorted body still wanted to heal, and the steel was thrown one after another, smashing the beard into a pulp.
Blood splattered on the remaining vampires, and everyone had a tinge of fear on their faces.
"Do you think I'm easy to talk? You blood-sucking monsters? Change it for me now!" Charles suppressed his anger in his words.
The factory manager's lips trembled slightly. He wiped the scum on his face with his hands, and turned around and walked towards the Narwhal with the other vampires.
"Big Guan Lun, you are familiar with turbines, keep an eye on them, and beware of these things playing tricks."
"Okay, head." The second wheel of the narwhal followed.
Originally, the chief engineer should have been called to do this kind of thing, but the current chief engineer's intelligence is too low to be qualified for this kind of work, and now James stood there dumbfounded. Deterrence of all vampires.
"Crack~" The metal gate of the ship repair yard was opened a crack, and Di Pu looked out vigilantly.
After a few seconds of simple observation, he turned around and said to Charles who was sitting on the box: "Captain, people outside seem to have noticed us, and many people are looking this way."
"Ordric, won't these people rush in?" Charles asked the blind man while wiping the black blade.
The blind man next to him shook his head, "No, they don't dare to touch the prey that belongs to the Duke, and you are not ordinary human beings who are slaughtered, they are all scattered, so you may not dare to go."
Charles had a little understanding in his heart. It seemed that the previous deterrence was still there. Even if the vampires outside knew that they were going to escape, they would not dare to act rashly without someone leading them.
"How is the Duke's strength?" Charles asked about the approaching enemy.
"The strength of the blood clan is divided according to age. The older you are, the more experience you have and the stronger your strength. The minimum age to become a duke is five hundred years old. They are completely different from us in essence. As long as they want to, they can easily Killing thousands of ordinary vampires."
Five hundred years old? Charles was a little surprised. With so many ages, did he know something about the Bright Continent?
After hearing Charles' guess, Orderic shook his head.
"In this case, you can only ask the mistress. The blood race on our entire island was first embraced by her, and she is the only one who has been to that cursed place. I heard that there is light everywhere. If you touch it, it will burn directly into ashes. I really don’t know how the mistress survives.”
"Then why did your mistress come to this place?"
"Ah, I've heard of this. Legend has it that a being told the mistress that there is a place where not only will there never be sunlight that harms the vampires, but there are enough human beings in it."
Charles was stunned for a moment, he never thought that these vampires actually came in this way.
The blind Orderic couldn't see Charles' face, and continued to speak.
"But that existence deceived the mistress. There are not only humans in this place, but also all kinds of existences that are far stronger than our blood race. Even if it is a blood race, it is very hard to survive in this kind of place. Mistress I miss him very much.”
Hearing about the existence that was much more powerful than the Mistress of the Blood Race, Charles instinctively thought of the giant palm rising from the sea, which made no one resist.
"How much do you know about the world before the mistress? Which country did your mistress come from? How many suns are there in the sky?" Charles asked several questions in succession. He hoped to infer the age and environment of the present surface through the details .
A wry smile appeared on Orderic's face. "Mr. Charles, I'm only 124 years old and I'm still very young, and I'm sure you've seen my status among the blood clans. I don't have any way of knowing these problems."
Charles breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards the Narwhal with some melancholy. This answer was also expected.
Now if I want to know the answer, I have to confront the Mistress of the Blood Race face to face, but it is impossible to think about it, unless I am tired of living.
Overheard by the side, Lily saw Charles leaving, and asked curiously in front of Orderic: "So your mistress came to this island just to avoid the crisis? How pitiful."
"No, we are here to avoid humans. The strength of humans is getting stronger and stronger, and the conflict with the blood race is getting bigger and bigger. The mistress foresaw the upcoming decisive battle and left with her children. In fact, we Human beings are in a symbiotic relationship, if you die, we will not be able to live without food."
"And what about your food? Do you eat rats?"
"In the northern part of Dark Crystal Island, we have raised a group of humans. They have to provide a certain amount of blood every week, but it is really too expensive... Usually we can only eat some human food while suppressing nausea."
As time passed by, more and more vampires wandered outside the shipyard.
At this time, they no longer hide, with two blood-sucking fangs exposed in their mouths, and the bloodthirsty gaze in their eyes is unobstructed.
Although they didn't rush in, Charles still felt a lot of pressure looking at the circles of vampires outside.
"How long? Hurry up if you don't want to die!" Charles' roar echoed in the shipyard.
"Immediately, immediately! The rivets are being installed." The factory manager who was sweating on his forehead frantically urged his subordinates.
At this time, the sound of wings flapping outside the door penetrated into the ears of everyone in the shipyard.
Charles quickly rushed to a window and looked outside, and saw a large group of black bats approaching in mid-air, and the vampires outside the door even cheered for the bats in the air.
The bat quickly fell to the ground, condensed into a black-outside and red-inside cloak with a stand-up collar, and put it on a man and a woman.
"Damn!" The irritable Charles guessed the identities of these two guys without any explanation.
"Didn't you say it would take half a day? Why did you come here in only two hours?"
