Scarlett Jennings also didn’t expect to receive a hint from the old lady.
After leaving the old lady’s yard, Scarlett instinctively looked at Samuel Chalmers.
She hadn’t heard of a Blood Servant,
but this person, being a thousand-year-old Dragon Vein, must know more than she does, right?
Samuel Chalmers met her gaze, opened his mouth, but just as he was about to speak, Hannah Hearne suddenly interrupted,
"I know about Blood Servants."
Scarlett Jennings and the others turned to see Hannah Hearne looking unusually serious.
Facing their curious eyes, Hannah Hearne took a deep breath and slowly explained,
"On the night of a full moon, the handsome Vampire Earl awakens from his ancient castle, steps into the moonlit night, and searches for his prey.
Every prey that has been ’baptized’ by him becomes his most loyal servant, and among these servants, one, and only one, can become the vampire’s bride."
The street was eerie with silence.
Until Lucas Jennings’ hands shook, the Jade Token he had been holding with trembling hands finally fell in shock.
Lucas Jennings’ face changed dramatically, and he screamed,
"Ahhh! Sis!"
I’m sorry!
Just then, the Sealing Jade Token wrapped in Talismans was about to hit the ground when it was steadied by a Black Mist.
The Black Mist carried the Jade Token to hover above Scarlett Jennings’ bags.
A small Crocodile Tortoise floated there.
Although fierce in appearance, there was a surprisingly smug expression on its face.
[Tsk, this house still depends on me after all.]
What use is a cousin? 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Not only would he get penalized, but he couldn’t even hold onto things properly.
Fortunately, Lucas couldn’t hear Shellback, or else he’d probably kneel before Scarlett right now.
Scarlett didn’t bother with Shellback’s antics, casually patted Lucas’s head, then turned back to Hannah Hearne.
Although she thought it unlikely, she couldn’t help but ask,
"The introduction about Blood Servants you just mentioned, it comes from ancient records, right?"
Hannah Hearne, with an innocent and kind face, winked at her,
"No, it’s from the novel ’The Earl’s Only Bride’."
Scarlett Jennings: ...
She knew it!
Seeing Scarlett Jennings turn to leave, Hannah Hearne hastily caught up with her, recommending, while walking,
"Don’t you think it’s quite insightful? Novels come from life, mysticism comes from novels, everything is interconnected!"
Scarlett Jennings: ...
Stop it, everything would weep to hear you say that.
"Scarlett, you must believe me, even if you don’t trust me, you should believe that old lady from the Wu Hu family!
Don’t let her old-fashioned look fool you; she spent over two hundred years abroad."
...
Scarlett Jennings thought she wouldn’t fall for Hannah Hearne’s novel brainwashing, but after half an hour of persistent persuasion,
she was somewhat convinced.
Though her resolve didn’t waver, she was indeed subtly persuaded.
The concept of Blood Servants does stem from Western vampire lore.
Legend has it that someone bitten by a vampire becomes their most loyal servant.
Apart from Marcus Knight’s situation, consider how Evelyn Wright and the other two female guests reacted to Franklin Nova at the Ninth Castle.
One could say it was due to Peach Blossom Worms, but also possibly due to the natural obedience of a Blood Servant to its master.
Previously, she had wondered why the aura of the Peach Blossom Worms planted by Franklin Nova was perfectly hidden.
She used to think it was because of the Malice Worm from Shu’e.
But if the worm was a normal worm, and the real reason it masked its aura was due to the Black Blood that might represent a Blood Servant contract?
At the time, Franklin Nova’s Malice Worm and Black Blood completely merged, so he eventually only spat out Black Blood.
If those two elements existed separately from the start, then the current situation is easily understood.
"It seems we need to find not just Shu’e but also the foreign ally behind Shu’e."
Scarlett Jennings was addressing Samuel Chalmers with this comment.
He only paused momentarily before responding,
"What kind of attitude is that? Don’t forget you’re my photographer today! Is that how you treat your employer?!"
She’d paid indeed!
Ashton Todd couldn’t help but murmur, "A hundred bucks a day as your photographer."
Stella Gibson put her hands on her hips, "And I even covered your entrance ticket! Do you know how expensive it is here? If it weren’t for Greta taking such awful photos, I wouldn’t have hired you!"
Her Greta is so obedient, always doing whatever asked!
Just thinking about it, someone’s finger lightly tapped her shoulder.
Turning around, Stella saw Greta standing behind her, pointing at a child holding a nine-ball ice cream bucket not far away.
"I want to buy it, for Olivia."
Greta didn’t have the need to eat, but he wanted to buy it for Olivia Xalvadora.
He could use Spiritual Affairs to deliver it to her.
Having been with him for so long, Stella understood, and nodded, "Go ahead, do you have enough Spiritual Points?"
Greta nodded; he also received points rewards from doing tasks at the Security Bureau.
He now had his own Spiritual Affairs account and had learned how to order with Spiritual Delivery.
Stella waved him off to let the kid get it himself.
Seeing this, Ashton Todd quickly seized the chance to free himself,
"I’ll go with Greta to buy it, can’t let him go alone."
Saying that, he handed the phone back to Stella and hurried off with Greta.
Leaving Stella standing alone, fuming with her baby face.
But she still found a spot nearby to go through the photos Ashton had taken.
To her surprise, Ashton was quite adept at taking pictures.
No wonder he could work as a side photographer.
A hundred bucks a day is worth it.
She was eagerly flipping through them when suddenly the light above her was blocked.
Looking up, Stella saw a handsome foreign man with blonde hair and green eyes, also wearing a Magic Robe, standing in front of her.
The man offered her a charming smile, and asked in Mandarin,
"Lovely Magician Miss, are you here alone?"
