Chapter 122 Playing with the King of the Blood Clan 15
"No, he's in the castle."
Qiao Chu didn’t even dare to think about it. If Zuo Liu came, wouldn’t the elders of the temple be scared to death?
The temple stands on the top of the North Mountain. To get to the town, one has to pass through a misty forest full of dangers. It is difficult for people without a map to find the right direction.
But this is not a problem for Qiao Chu.
She first took Qiao's father and mother to the city's law enforcement team.
"I am a blood slave sent back by the vampires for negotiations. Please escort us to the temple."
Recently, the alien races have become more and more rampant, and several nearby cities have fallen one after another. The news sent back from the blood clan is like a life-saving straw.
The servant who came to report the case from the Earl's house was hit in the face by the dust raised by the carriage before he could even open his mouth.
Qiao Chu and his parents sat in a spacious and comfortable carriage. The small table was filled with various fruits, cakes and fragrant tea.
Qiao's mother kept talking to relieve the tension.
"Chu Chu, how did that gentleman treat you?"
Although Qiao Chu was the first blood slave released from the ancient castle, many men were very reluctant to marry a wife who had served the vampires.
If that adult treats Qiao Chu well, Qiao's mother will feel more at ease.
Qiao Chu: "...Uh, how about I bring them back for dinner when I have time?"
Qiao's mother and father: "They...they?"
Isn't it said that vampires won't share a blood slave? Unless the blood is of exceptional quality, attracting endless competition among the vampires.
Mother Qiao's eyes were red. "My poor daughter, did it hurt when they bit you? It's all because I'm incompetent and couldn't protect you..."
Qiao Chu: "..."
How should I put it? She actually quite enjoyed the feeling of having her blood sucked.
The carriage stopped outside the temple, and the captain of the law enforcement team went inside to pass the message. Soon, an old man with white hair and beard came out to greet him.
"Miss Qiao actually brought back news about the vampires. This is truly cause for celebration. Mr. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao, please come in—"
His attentive and fawning attitude didn't look like an elder at all. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a servant of some family.
Qiao Chu knew that the temple elders were so flattering to the blood clan not only for seeking help, but also for immortality and wealth.
The old guys, whose bodies are almost buried in the ground, are reluctant to give up their power as elders, and are trying their best to seek the art of immortality.
The simplest and most effective method is to transform into a vampire.
But it is obvious that vampires are beautiful creatures with extremely high requirements for the appearance of their food, and no one will give a first embrace to an old man.
But it would be different if the girl was sent out by the temple.
The elders planted forbidden spells in the girls' bodies in advance, and when some of them successfully transformed into vampires, they would control them to return to the temple to receive the elders' first embrace.
But this method has never been successful, because none of the blood slaves sent out over the years have been transformed into vampires.
Qiao Chu's appearance gave them a glimmer of hope.
The elders welcomed Qiao Chu and his family into the temple with the highest etiquette, carefully selected the most luxurious rooms, and assigned the most attentive servants to serve them.
"Ms. Qiao, I've already arranged for your parents to be settled. Now, can you tell me what the attitude of the blood clan is?"
Qiao Chu smiled slightly and said, "No hurry. Before that, I have some personal matters to attend to. I hope the elders can handle them impartially."
Great Elder: "..."
Having lived for over a hundred years, he could see that this girl was deliberately making fun of him, but he had no choice but to go along with her ideas.
It's not just for her chance of immortality, but also because they are wary of the powerful vampires behind her.
The blood slaves marked by the vampires have an aura that is very different from that of ordinary people.
Besides, Qiao Chu is the only girl who has walked out of the vampire castle. If it weren’t for the adults’ consent, how could she appear here?
The Great Elder had no doubt about the truthfulness of what Qiao Chu said.
"Ms. Qiao, please speak up. As long as your words make sense, the Temple will do its best to help you resolve the issue."
Qiao Chu nodded. "First of all, I want to expose the Earl's family's evil intentions. Saint Vivian secretly brought silver into the castle with the intention of murdering the vampires and provoking conflicts between the two clans. I hope the Temple will punish them severely."
The Great Elder hesitated. "I'm afraid this matter needs further investigation. Vivian is in the castle, and we don't have all the evidence, so it's difficult to proceed..."
The Earl can only be considered a nobleman of average status, but when it comes to the interests of the nobles, the Great Elder wants to smooth things over, after all, he is also a nobleman.
"Vivian is not in the castle. The adults have already ascertained the truth. Vivian is now my slave and is currently in the Earl's mansion."
The Great Elder: "Then I will immediately send the law enforcement team to investigate..."
Qiao Chu interrupted him, "Do you not believe me or the adults behind me? You are wrong, Great Elder, you must be arrested immediately and thrown into prison. Do you understand?"
The elder's expression changed rapidly. "Yes, arrest them! Arrest them!"
Anyway, Vivian's title of Saint is just a title. The real Saint should have been a royal princess, but the Queen never gave birth to a princess, so she chose a Saint from the children of the nobility.
Going to the vampire castle is not a good job. If you are not careful, you may lose your life. The powerful and influential people competed to refuse, and finally it was the turn of the earl's daughter.
Sacrificing a count is not a big deal in order to please the vampire masters.
Qiao Chu nodded in satisfaction. "Then, the second thing is, I demand the abolition of the Slave Act and its replacement with a labor law that protects the rights of civilians."
The Great Elder was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "How dare you! What protection do those lowly commoners have? I warn you not to push your luck!"
"Oh? Pushing the limit? I insist on being a pushy civilian. What can you do to me?"
Qiao Chu clenched his five fingers into the air, and the Great Elder was strangled by the throat by an invisible force. He was suspended in the air and struggled with his legs flapping.
All the elders in the room were terrified, and at the same time they were deeply shocked by the power of the vampires.
If a little blood slave who had been blessed by a favor could become so strong, what if he could become a true vampire? The eagerness in the elders' eyes became even more fanatical.
The Second Elder quickly pleaded, "Miss Qiao, the First Elder just made a slip of the tongue. The law should have been repealed long ago. The Temple should treat everyone equally and protect the legitimate rights and interests of all classes."
"That's more like it. Hurry up and do it. I want to see the new bill implemented within a month at the latest."
Qiao Chu waved his sleeves, and the elder fell to the ground with a bang.
The Second Elder cautiously probed, "Then the matter of the vampires protecting us..."
"Are you worthy enough for my Lord to personally take action? Do what I ask, and I will take care of the fallen cities myself."
"Yes, yes, Miss Qiao is right. You are the pride of our temple."
Qiao Chu was not in a hurry to deal with the aliens. She didn't come back to work for the temple. If the city fell, it fell. Those aliens didn't eat people.
For the common people, there is no difference between being oppressed by the nobles and being oppressed by foreigners.
The nobles were eager to get close to the vampires, not for the purpose of recovering the city as they talked about, but purely for their own profit.
Qiao Chu walked to the place where the Holy Sword Knight Covel was recuperating.
The palace is close to the holy spring, with abundant spiritual energy and a quiet environment. It is the best paradise in the entire temple.
But unfortunately, the seriously injured and dying Covel has not woken up yet and is almost at the end of his life.
