Chapter 748: Chapter 382 Vampire Clan Meeting_3

"Yes," Vivian glanced at the crack beneath her, "But, this crack has been manipulated. It’s sealed into a one-way passage. It only allows travel from the Star Spirit World to this side, not the other way around."

"I see..."

Mu You nodded, no wonder Cola had no resistance coming here, but can’t go back. So, it’s one-way.

"Can this seal be undone?" Mu You asked again.

"It can’t be, the sealing method is very clever." Vivian said with seriousness. After the pause, she added, "At least, I don’t have the ability."

"Understood." Mu You nodded. Since even Vivian couldn’t do it, definitively, he wouldn’t be able to solve it in a short time.

Subsequently, Mu You left the dry well and found from around some big rocks and piled them up to cover the well. He then camouflaged its surface until no traces could be seen.

He wasn’t sure who had made this well, yet, but since it connected to Cola’s ancestral home, it must have something to do with her. He could ask her about it when he sees her in the game later.

...

At night, in the pet shop, Mu You logged in the game again.

The time in the game was seven p.m., the scheduled time for the Clan meeting of Blood Clan. Mu You and his adopted sister arrived at the place on time.

[You and May arrived at the ’Abandoned Dark Church’]

[The Dark Church was once the old site of the Holy Light Church, located in the ’Old North Street’. However, after the great migration of Dark City a thousand years ago, the residents collectively moved to the new town, completely abandoning the old city. It’s now the territory of various ghosts and insect magical beasts. This Dark Church is one of them.]

[Tonight, a thin white fog permeates the old city, produced by the Heart of the Mist. It causes any outside who mistakenly step into it to lose their way, walking in circles on the spot, unable to discern directions. It ensures the smooth operation of the vampire clan meeting.]

The Heart of the Mist was handed over to Uncle Jonas by Mu You in the morning. According to him, the Heart of the Mist is a treasure belonging to the entire Blood Clan, whose custody right was rewarded to the meritorious Liston, by the previous Duke. So once the clan meeting is over, Mu You can get it back from the vampire’s Duke.

[At the entrance of the church, representatives from each of the vampire families appeared one after another, cordially greeting each other. After having their invitation verified by the vampire at the door, they entered the church in turn.]

[You and May passed the verification and stepped into the church.]

[At the moment, an exaggeratedly long table was set up inside the church. The long table was full of delicacies. Besides the main seat, there were 72 side seats on both sides, representing 72 families, with each seat having a secondary seat behind.]

[You and May found the position of your Ryan Family at the end of the long table, a very inconspicuous corner.]

The seating order was arranged according to the existing strength of each family, and the Ryan family had not reported the return of Liston, their family’s strongest was just a Viscount, so it’s normal to arrange them at the bottom.

Of course, Mu You did not mind sitting at the back at all, he even intended to let May sit in the family’s main seat to show her face, and he would hide in the secondary seat himself. After all, he wasn’t sure yet if there were any other players participating in this conference.

If there were players, players could recognize each other at first sight.

[When seated, you used memory loss and unfamiliarity as an excuse and put your sister, May, in the position of the family’s lead.]

[You sat behind her and activated the Hermit Card.]

[As the number of people in the church increased, all family members finally gathered after a while.]

[The only existing Duke of the Blood Clan, Vanjo Brandt, entered the meeting and sat at the head of the table, announcing the official start of the Clan meeting.]

As the meeting began, Mu You was quickly reviewing the information of everyone in the hall at this time.

The vampires present were basically the elites of the Blood Clan. Mu You did a simple statistical analysis, and there was one Duke, seven Marquis who belonged to different families, and forty-six Earls.　However, some of them were sitting in the secondary seats, and the Earls who truly represented the highest title of the family were only thirty-nine people.

The remaining families only had Viscounts at the highest.

The status of the Blood Clan was naturally divided into three strata according to the title: eight Marquis families belong to the upper class, controlling the vast majority of speech rights; thirty-nine Earl families are in the middle class, as the backbone of the Blood Clan; while the last twenty-five Viscount families are the lower class. They are the type of family that is short of people, without high-level protection, and might disappear at any time.

As a result, after looking around, Mu You did not find any other player’s presence. All the attendees were actually natives!

[Duke of Brand took out ten bottles containing drops of blood and introduced today’s first agenda of the clan meeting: the allocation plan for the ten drops of Ancestor’s Blood.]

["Those under Earl require only one drop of Ancestor’s Blood for each promotion, while Earl to Marquis requires three drops of Ancestor’s Blood, and Marquis to Duke requires ten drops."]

["According to the rules left by the Ancestor before his death, in order to most efficiently upgrade the power of the clansmen, the ten drops of blood will be distributed in the configuration of 331111."]

[The Duke of Brand first separated three drops of Ancestor’s Blood and placed them aside: "Firstly, these three drops of Ancestor’s Blood will be given to the Earl Family that has contributed the most to our blood clan over the last millennium. The nominated families are: the Vagro Family, the Maca Family, the Felatu Family. The contributions made by these three families are obvious to everyone. Which one it specifically goes to will be voted upon by all family clan leaders later."]

Mu You watched lines of text popping up.

The distribution of blood at this clan meeting seemed quite principled. These ten drops of blood were not directly monopolized by the high-class families but were prepared to be distributed to families under Marquis.

Becaue there was a rule in the title: each time a higher title is promoted, up to three drops of the Blood of Heart Vessels can be drawn for the help of promoting a same-family blood relative.

For example, the Ryan family, if Mu You obtains the drops of blood and is promoted to Marquis, he can extract three drops of the Blood of Heart Vessels to help May and his uncle, two Viscounts, to be promoted to Earl. After their promotion, they can also distribute their Blood of Heart Vessels to help other Barons in the family promote to Viscounts.

So, as long as the leader of each family gets promoted once, the whole family can be promoted to a new level.

331111, which means, it’s going to be distributed to two Earl families and four Viscount families.

Mu You needed three drops of blood to level up from an Earl to a Marquis, so he definitely wouldn’t get the first three drops of blood, since he spent the last thousand years in slumber, and did not contribute anything to the blood clan at all.

Now he aimed at the distribution of the second batch of three drops of blood.
