Chapter 589: 587 Chapter: Intelligence

William checked that his body hadn’t been tampered with and that his Yellow Skin remained stable within him, then

an old butler, whose teeth and blood-sucking ducts had all been extracted, and who was continuously re-blooded through a blood bag in his attire, entered the guest bedroom.

The blood citizen, deprived of their ’vampire organs,’ was like a eunuch, their desire for fresh blood completely erased and utterly loyal to their master, well-suited for home management.

"This is the outfit Lord Viscount has chosen for you, please change into it."

"Okay."

The attire was similar to medieval ceremonial garb, tailored and designed with a deep V at the front to perfectly accentuate William’s physique.

"It fits you very well, the Viscount will certainly like it... Please follow me, the nutritional meal has already been prepared for you."

When they reached the dining room under the butler’s guidance, Lorrian, dressed in a white ceremonial outfit, was already feasting at the dining table and even gestured for William to come over and eat.

Upon closer inspection,

the table was indeed laden with foods rich in life essence and blood, specially cooked so that the nutrients were easier to absorb, and William, feeling quite hungry, started eating unreservedly.

"Butler, our duties are supposed to be at night, right? Since Lord Viscount has gone to a meeting, are we free to roam?"

"Lord Viscount specifically ordered that after you finish eating, you still need to undergo waist and abdominal training, and you are not currently allowed to leave the mansion.

If your performance is good enough, there will be plenty of opportunities for freedom in the future."

"Oh, we can’t go out yet?"

William suddenly turned around with a strange look in his eyes towards the butler behind him... For a moment, the butler’s gaze couldn’t move away and had to keep eye contact with William.

As the eye contact lengthened, one could gradually see through the pupils into the pitch-black Madness Brain.

"I will take you away from the mansion and introduce you to the ’New Manor’ established by our fellow blood citizens."

"Hmm, we’re still eating now, can you tell me how the ranks of blood citizens are divided? What does each rank roughly correspond to?"

"We still follow the nobility system from ancient times, simply divided into duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron.

Blood citizens who reach Open Source and pass the blood purity test and a strength test receive the title of ’Baron’ and officially become a noble of the manor.

If they continue to grow and reach the Open Source Limit, blood citizens are promoted to ’Viscount,’ which is also the current rank of Viscount Dmitri.

A viscount represents the highest status within the ordinary nobility, enjoying a private mansion of moderate size and able to employ servants like me and you to work for them.

However, both baron and viscount are still only considered ’ordinary nobility’."

"Beyond that, when a blood citizen completes a path related to fresh blood and achieves a replenishment of ancient blood, they can be promoted to ’Earl’ and also be listed as a member of the ’Crimson Nobles.’

Each earl enjoys a mansion and commands a Bloodline Team at his disposal.

Going further, I’m not clear about what needs to be achieved,

but it seems that one needs the affirmation of our king, allowing an earl to battle one of the legendary ’Seven Marquis.’ As long as they defeat the opponent, they can replace his position and ascend to ’Marquis,’ second only to one and above ten thousand."

The last is the duke, who is also our king.

However, our king, being too conspicuous in that ancient war with his blatant illness, was directly targeted by various invaders, ultimately leading to the complete destruction of his physical body and deep damage to his soul.

Nonetheless, our king will not die; one day, he will reappear in this world."

"I see, so an ’Earl’ corresponds to a Silver Circle patient... But, do you know how many earls from the Old World have come to this new manor, and how many marquis?"

This question obviously touched some deep-seated defensive mechanism in the butler’s brain, causing him to pause momentarily. But as the eye contact continued, and as his thoughts were little by little eroded and possessed, he still spoke.

"Currently, the new manor has ten earls and one of the ’Seven Marquis’ stationed here."

"Did the Skin Bag Apostle come over to help?"

"Angels had indeed come initially, but as the Blood Bag Wall was built and the manor stabilized, they returned... After all, the military force currently stationed here is more than sufficient, and the inferior humans of this world could not possibly pose a threat to us."

"Ah, did the Skin Bag Apostle return? That’s a pity."

William’s interest in the blood citizens paled in comparison to the Skin Bag Apostle. If he could kill the apostle prematurely and obtain a complete skin, he could further enhance his external power by completing his Yellow Skin.

"Let me ask you another question, do you know the whereabouts of a human named Zede?"

"I’m not sure, and I’ve never heard the name... I only know some things about the blood citizens, and the rest is about managing the mansion for the Viscount."

"Fine, let’s go out for a walk next, and give us an overview of your new manor."

"At your command."

Though stripped of his blood-sucking organs and related desires, the butler, as the chief attendant under the Viscount, still had a certain status, allowing him unrestricted access to the public areas of Zion.

William, along with another, also left the Viscount’s mansion.

Tailing at the rear, Lorrian, wiping the bloodstains from his mouth with a handkerchief, softly said, "Not bad, your Madness Brain is getting better."

"Yes, it’s much smoother than I expected. I didn’t expect that we would get the information we needed just through the Viscount’s butler... Now we just need to follow him around, get a general understanding of Zion’s layout, and then plan our departure."

"Depart? I’m not done playing yet... Anyway, we should at least slaughter that disgusting fellow."

"The Viscount? Although he’s just an ordinary noble, killing recklessly can easily blow our cover.

Even if we were to get rid of him without anyone noticing and leave, once the Viscount’s body is discovered, or if he disappears completely, it would alert the blood citizens, and they might even bring in stronger forces from the Old World."

Lorrian shook his finger, "No... William, even though you already possess such power, your thought is still shackled.

It’s you who need to go back and report, not me."

Reminded in this way, William also quickly realized, "Lorrian, you’re planning to stay here..."

"Yes~ For those who have touched my body and harbored strange thoughts, I cannot let him die easily. I’ll imprison him in the hospital as a test sample.

Then I just need to disguise myself as him, right?

When your human armies attack, I can perfectly coordinate with you from within.

According to the butler’s description of the personnel arrangement, you humans wouldn’t chicken out, right?"

"Are you sure you want to stay here?"

Upon hearing William’s follow-up question, Lorrian couldn’t help but cover his face and laugh, "Haha, are you concerned about me, William? Haha, if I were to die, wouldn’t that be a great thing for you?

From then on, there would be no one constantly craving to possess your body.

Plus, as my infector, you might even inherit the rights to the moon."

"It’s not about concern. It’s just that your death isn’t part of my plan, and if I don’t have your help during the siege, the chances of success would significantly decrease."

"Can’t you say something nice for a change? Really..."

The two exited the mansion onto the upper streets of Zion, comparing its size to the surrounding buildings, the Viscount’s mansion was quite sizable.

The familiar human architecture of the past was mostly dyed red, either painted with blood paints or adorned with bloody decorations,

with a large number of snarling blood citizens with protruding orifices or yellow teeth loitering around the streets.

The original tiles laid out on the streets had been completely removed and sown with blood seeds from the Old World.

Row upon row of special red grasses replaced the original streets and even bore fruits imbued with blood for the blood citizens to satisfy their blood-sucking desires; a small portion grew into trees resembling human structures, allowing multiple blood citizens to suckle together.

Looking towards the original Divine Skin Mansion from the streets.

The mansion had been transformed into a French-style manor, with intense auras continuously emitting from inside... Among them, one aura felt incredibly ancient, making William, even from a great distance, feel as though facing a formidable enemy.
