457,

Facing the arrogance of the Lord of the Teachings, what else could Alexander say?

After sighing, Alexander was rendered speechless.

Although it went against his principles, the person before him was not an ordinary child, but a monster over five hundred years older than himself.

A vampire, and not just any vampire, but the primordial vampire who had lived through ancient wars.

Despite Alexander's current strength being able to barely match the Lord in a life-and-death struggle, doing so would not only harm himself but also create rifts in the peaceful structure of the Water Teachings, which was not worth it.

Moreover, because Alexander had learned the truth about the leader of the Water Teachings, an unspeakable deal was forged.

The vampire leader continued to maintain the image of a leader as a vampire, while Alexander would fight to protect this image.

While it may seem like an unethical deal, in reality the old undead lord before him was a very casual vampire who would stay content as long as there was good food.

Just like the "Forcia" in front of him, as long as consumed carefully, it could not only provide blood for a long time but also keep the old man entertained.

And most importantly, a vampire who had lived for over five hundred years had developed a certain level of self-control over their bloodlust.

Alexander had never seen the leader lose control and accidentally drain all the blood, which reassured him.

If he could maintain the peace of Kakarl without anyone dying, Alexander didn't mind becoming an accomplice and hiding this secret.

"They are coming, shouldn't you at least do something?"

"Let me stay here for a few more days~"

"...Haven't you eaten your fill yet?"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ My appetite is quite large, you just don't know~"

"..."

Alexander coldly glanced at the leader, then at the woman who was still fighting hard.

"This woman is top-notch~ Can keep sucking~ keep sucking~"

"I thought you only fed on the pure?"

Alexander curiously asked.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Cleaned up, they are still edible, that's my experience of five hundred years!"

Instantly, a thumb was raised.

"..."

"And the blood sucked from ample bosoms is particularly nutritious~"

Once again, this time the leader raised both thumbs.

"You old pervert... Is there any medical basis for that?"

"Hmph! Of course not!"

Faced with the leader's self-righteous speech, Alexander could only sigh once more.

"Never mind, as long as you like it... But before that, answer me, what are your plans?"

"What plans?"

Alexander narrowed his eyes, feeling a bit redundant to worry about this old man.

"Leaving aside the killer Onigashima, he's clearly here for you."

"As for Onigashima, can't you handle him?"

"Maybe we can, but what about the others?"

The leader smiled slightly and asked,

"Are you afraid?"

"Don't you know? Or are you pretending not to know?"

Alexander became serious.

"How did Sophie‧Isnila escape from the Bay Prison? Don't tell me you have no idea?"

The leader leaned back, one hand resting on Forcia's head, looking up at the room.

"Just the Source of Darkness, what's there to fear? It's not like you haven't faced it before~"

"Facing Flash Lightning combined with Source of Darkness, indeed I have never encountered before."

"Haha, talk is cheap. When the time comes, you'll still face it with a smile."

The chief chuckled, giving a shiver at the same time.

"Those are two different things. I have already..."

The relaxed chief interrupted Alexander's words and jumped in.

"I know~ It's really a mistake to let you and your wife be so lovey-dovey~"

The chief and Alexander looked at each other, understanding some things even without saying them out loud.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will lend you a hand."

After hearing the chief's intentions, Alexander turned and left.

"Oh? Aren't you going to ask about someone else instead?"

The chief's shout made Alexander stop in his tracks.

"What do you think I should ask?"

"Of course, based on the current Marcina, she's probably the most difficult opponent on this continent, I suppose~"

The chief made Forcia get up, dropped a few toys on her, and nudged her to the other side of the bed.

With the obstacle gone, the chief crossed his legs, lifted his chin with one hand, and gazed directly at Alexander.

"Tell me~ What's your plan to face such a super formidable enemy?"
