Chapter 170
Blue Hillock City.
Blue Hillock City was named Blue Hillock because there was a hillock 1.5 kilometers from the city. It was a hillock covered by a field of blue tulips. When the season of blooming came, the hillock was so beautiful it made people never want to leave. For that, it was well-known across the entire Continent of Witchers.
Even though it wasn’t the blooming season currently, Blue Hillock City was still crowded and lively. Especially when night fell, nobles and merchants on lavish carriages that weaved through one after another entertainment establishments came in endless streams, making the city even more so lively than it was in the day.
Mary was high in the sky under the curtain of night. The bright moon shone behind her, complementing her already slim and perfect figure.
If someone in Blue Hillock city raised their head to appreciate the moon at this moment, they might have seen the silhouette of an elegant and perfect young lady. A pair of large bat wings were opened wide against the wind behind this beautiful girl, adding a touch of mystery and wickedness out of nowhere.
Even Mary wasn’t sure when, but she had fallen in love with this feeling of looking down from high above the skies.
The ignorant city at her feet clamored, ignorant of the terrifying disaster that was about to come. An unrestrained feeling of absolute control rose in Mary as she looked down from above the night skies.
This feeling was perfect and alluring!
Threads the color of blood slowly begin to surface deep within Mary’s blue pupils. Her heart was filled with endless joy when she looked upon the three people before her.
Three Pseudo-Adepts!
These three warriors of another world had power equal to pseudo-adepts!
Mary smiled.
…………
A moment later, the door to the room opened wide again.
The countless goons who were waiting with weapons in hand were shocked to find their arrogant and overbearing boss nodding and bowing before the beauty in red armor. The two right-hand men had also shrunk behind the beauty. They brought a chair over for her to sit on, then offered tea and water. It almost seemed like they were afraid of not offering satisfactory service to the beauty.
Mary smiled slightly and sat on the chair. She then used a handkerchief and lightly wiped off the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth.
On the necks of the bald man and his two subordinates, a pair of small injuries was quickly healing, leaving behind only an undetectable scar.
Mary had the ability to Embrace ever since she became a vampire adept. With this ability, she could create hordes of blood servants loyal to herself. Sadly, she would lose a bit of her blood essence every time she created a new servant. So Mary could only choose important figures as the target for her Embrace.
And this bald man who had all of Blue Hillock’s underground world in his palm was undoubtedly a person she had to gain control over. Controlling him alone gave Mary immense control over the entirety of the city in an instant.
With the help of Bald Eagle, Mary quickly understood the power structure and situation of Blue Hillock City.
The true owner of Blue Hillock was naturally the castellan, Count Vanlier. Bald Eagle was only his subordinate who hid in and managed the underground.
So, late in the night of the second day, Mary was secretly sent into the castle after an elaborate dress up.
Even the 50-year-old Count Vanlier, a man who had a little black beard and the elegant appearance of a gentleman, was astounded by this foreign beauty sent over by his loyal subordinate.
So, Mary was boldly sent to the Count’s bed under everyone’s gaze, passing through a troop of elite bodyguards.
And on the second night Mary entered Blue Hillock City, its ruler had become her most loyal blood servant and slave.
In truth, with Mary’s current power, she could take over this city without much resistance. But to do so without any commotion and without being noticed, she needed to resort to other means!
To ensure her control was deep and thorough, she even took the effort to Embrace the Count’s remaining subordinates. Of course, these were all individuals who were at a level equal to Pseudo-Adepts. In this other world where arcanology was incomplete, the foreign existence of such a thing as a vampire was beyond the limits of the imagination of the natives of the plane.
By focusing on the important figures, Mary had become the true owner of Blue Hillock City in just 3 days. She was now a true “Monarch of Darkness” that was hidden away from the rest of the world.
And the information she had gotten from both official means and underground means quickly and continuously streamed back to the adepts’ base.
Soon, a message about Witcher Knights drew her attention.
