140. Good luck!
It is the starting point of all vampires.
Where to go to become a vampire lord.
Vlad Castle.
To seize the position of Vampire Lord.
We were heading there.
And as we got closer and closer to Vlad’s Castle, the cries of crows got louder.
Aww!
Is it because of that creepy cry?
The atmosphere of this deep forest, where not a single sunlight penetrates properly, felt even more bleak.
To me, it looked like a scene from a real horror movie.
Of course, there were so many people on our side who were more monstrous than monsters, so no one trembled in fear.
Rather, Andrew looked a little excited.
“Hee hee! It was very regretful that we couldn’t go to the Elf Village… but to be able to visit the Vampire Lord Castle! Hee hee!”
In this dreary atmosphere, he kept going ‘hi hee hee’, and at first glance he looked like a madman.
It seems I wasn’t the only one who thought that.
Grendel seemed to think the same thing.
“Can’t we stop hissing? I’m out of my mind.”
“Ah. I’m excited, but how can I bear with this!”
“I’m afraid I’ll block my mouth with psychokinesis. I’ll accidentally block my nose too.”
“……”
Let’s feel the life in Grendel’s eyes.
Finally, Andrew’s mouth shut up a bit.
I didn’t pay much attention to it or not.
It’s not even a day or two.
But Pico was a little worried.
I sat next to Diaz and asked a small question.
“How’s Pico? Is he still sleeping?”
“Ah, yes… Ever since I climbed the Ice Valley of a Thousand Years…”
“Hmm. Could it be that it was too cold?”
“I don’t know… I don’t know. No one knows anything about the phoenix…”
Pico has been sleeping almost all day for the past few days.
When I eat, I get up for a short time and take a few bites.
Sleep again, sleep again.
At first, I thought I would recover quickly, but it felt like it was taking longer than I thought.
“Because they don’t say they’re sick right away… Whoa. Should I go find a veterinary hospital?”
“……”
I couldn’t help worrying because I was in pain again.
In the meantime, it seemed like a lot of hateful feelings and good feelings had piled up.
Aside from the phoenix’s recovery ability that Pico gave me.
“Next time you open your eyes, ask me exactly where and how you feel uncomfortable.”
“I understand, Rohan-nim.”
While the conversation is going on.
Before we knew it, we were in the castle of the Vampire Lord.
I am standing in front of the main gate of Vlad Castle.
Orhel, who stood at the forefront and guided the way, stood in front of the huge door.
Kwadeuk.
He bit his thumb lightly and drew blood, then spread the blood widely across his entire palm.
Remembrance.
He brought his bloody palm to the very center of the castle gate.
OK.
Awesome profit……
The castle gate opened by itself.
even though no one was there.
* * *
“Come out. Wait here. If something happens, scream loudly.”
“I want to go with you too.”
“You bastard. Everything collapses when you enter.”
“Ah, I see…”
To come out like that, I sat down at the entrance and decided to wait for a while.
The rest of the staff moved towards the inside of Vlad Castle in earnest.
As soon as we stepped into it, a rather cool aura greeted us.
“Oh, oh! It’s kind of exciting now, isn’t it?”
Andrew rolled his eyes at what was so interesting and couldn’t erase the smile on his lips.
Almost like a child entering a haunted house in an amusement park for the first time.
Grendel must have been exhausted by now, so she walked away without taking anything else.
Let’s go into that a little bit more.
Food Deuk!
Isn’t it a common cliché in vampire castles, that swarms of bats are welcoming us?
At that, Orhel gave out his temper.
“Ah, did you do everything to bother me?”
A swarm of bats passed overhead.
Our progress has not slowed down even a single degree.
In the first place, I had already surpassed the level at which I would back down to that level of mischief.
However, it seemed that bats were not all that the other side had prepared.
Then even the wolves crawled out.
Of course, it wasn’t a real wolf.
A fake wolf made of magic.
That’s why it should have been more scary originally.
“Kurrrrrrr……!”
“Kong! Kwang! Kwang!”
“Rurr-rrrrr!”
Unfortunately, this kind of prank was not going to work.
I fought demons and giants, but it’s just wolves…
“Oh! Cute! Oh! Cute!”
Conversely, it only increased Andrew’s excitement.
Orhel was just annoyed.
“Hey you bastards! Go away, man! Tsk. No snacks! Whoa!”
Did they also feel that Orhel was a vampire lord?
I slowly started to back away.
Whiing……
It had completely disappeared.
Was there another group in the world that broke through the Vampire Lord’s castle without hesitation?
It was a day that made me wonder.
* * *
After a few brief welcome events followed.
We have finally reached the deepest part of this Vlad Castle.
It didn’t take long.
Whatever came out, I just chased it and it was over.
However, on the way to here, Orhel seemed to be quite uncomfortable because of various miscellaneous things.
The door in the deepest level.
Kwaaang!
I could tell just by looking at it.
let the door open
The first thing I saw was the long red carpet.
To the left and right, thick pillars served the ceiling.
wide space.
It was as if a place like this would be perfect for a boss fight.
And at the end of the red carpet…
I saw an old man sitting on a golden throne and resting his chin on it.
The old man opened his eyes slightly.
In the darkness, those bloody eyes glowed.
flash!
“How dare you… know where this place is and make such a fuss?”
At that voice, Orhel snorted.
“Uh. I know. I know too well.”
“Whoa, whoa. In other words, who is the main seat sitting on this throne… you are saying that you know?”
“Uh. I know that too. I know it too well.”
“It’s true… It’s been a while since I’ve seen such an arrogant guy again. Shall we take a look at that face?”
“Oh, yes. It’s a shame.”
Orhel took a step forward, revealing the figure hidden in the shadow of the pillar.
Then he fired another word.
“He’s holding dog form. Pak! Mr.”
“Ugh! Oh, Orhel?”
“Orhel? You bastard. Am I your friend?”
“Oh, no! I was surprised, tongue, brother!”
to that unexpected scene.
A question mark appeared above the heads of everyone watching, including me.
‘What……what’s going on?……’
* * *
baek!
Orhel slaps the back of the head.
The old man, who had been dignified in his seat of power until now, had his head bowed with his hands clasped together in a squat-like appearance.
“Hey man. Didn’t I tell you not to sit there?”
“……Sorry……”
“If you sit down just one more time, I won’t let you go. Do you understand?”
“Yep! Of course!”
The way he scolds a person who looks very old.
Everyone was speechless in embarrassment.
Andrew was the first to speak up.
“That…… Orhell-niisama. No matter how hard you treat the elders like that…”
At that, Orhel laughed as if it was absurd.
“Elderly? Are you talking about this guy? He’s an elder? They say he’s just presbyopia. He’s a lot younger than me.”
“……?”
Let’s see how Orhel treats us.
The old man also greeted us kindly.
It feels very different from the first impression.
“Oh, nice to meet you. My name is Vampire Lord Richmond. Nice to meet you! Heh heh heh heh.”
It’s not like judging people just by saying hello.

Just look at it……
‘Is it Andrew’s style?…’
And that expectation was not wrong.
Orhel pointed to Andrew and started directing traffic.
“Uh, this is a new little brother. You guys are also like older brothers and sisters to each other. I said let’s go in order of arrival, so Richmond is the older brother.”
Where did Richmond go for that intimidating look he showed for the first time?
He changed into a common neighborhood hyung.
“Oh! Brother. Nice to meet you. Let’s make it easy!”
“Um. That’s right, brother! Thank you!”
well, that’s fine
Then Orhel pointed at me.
“Uh…this is also a new brother…”
“Oh, is this your new brother?”
“……no.”
“Yes?”
“There… it’s better for you to be my younger brother.”
“……Yes?”
Richmond tilted his head slightly.
“Ah, older brother. I understand that the number of younger siblings increases. But…”
His eyes turned back to the bloody color they had when they first met.
“It’s not that easy to be my big brother. Well, even if you look like this, it’s Lord, Vampire Lord! De!”
Richmond with special emphasis on the ending note.
Orhel seemed to be having fun, and added a word.
“Oh, is that so? I almost forgot for a moment. You must be a Vampire Lord.”
“Yes! I’m sorry, bro.”
“Then you can’t just decide who your brother or sister is. How would you like to have a simple contest of strength?”
“Heh heh. A contest of strength, can we do it with such a low-level thing?”
Richmond continued looking at me.
“Where are you going to try it with all your might. I will show you the gap in my strength…”
before he finishes talking.
Orhel looked at me and hit me for a moment.
“Brother. Kill it, kill it. Don’t do it haphazardly like when you killed that drettnor.”
It was clearly a playful scare.
However, Richmond’s face, which had already fallen over there, began to turn white.
“D-Dretnor…? Do, poisonous blood…?”
“Oh, and. Don’t use the skill you used to hit the Hellperion’s throat if you can. It’ll collapse here.”
“Hey, Helpe…”
Orhel’s mischief is still not over.
“Is that what you used after becoming the water spirit king… Ah, I hope you’ll be patient with the power you used to kill Barbau.”
“Mu, the water spirit king… the giant of the lake, Bar…”
Hearing that, I got a little playful too.
“Can I not use all of these things? But the opponent is a Vampire Lord, so I have to do my best.”
“Ah…Is that so? Isn’t it manners to be too rough?”
“then.”
Orhel seemed to be excited about my match, and increased the tempo.
“Okay! Well then, the castle can be repaired later. Now, let’s get started. Richmond? Are you ready?”
“Hey, wait! Brother!”
Richmond hurriedly stretched out his arms and shouted.
He bowed his head to me! bow down
“Nice to meet you! Rohan hyung-nim! Please take good care of me in the future!”
Vampire Lord has a younger brother.
