Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3050

Lyanna gazed at Max as she spoke.

Max gave a faint smile and put away his arrogant demeanor.

He did not dare behave that way with Lyanna, the Patriarch's servant and his representative.

The vampires would not tolerate him if he offended the Patriarch.

Lyanna met Max's eyes and said, “The Patriarch appreciates your drive and is also very interested in your vision of the new world where vampires rule. He also said that being the fourteenth prince of the vampires is entirely possible. You just need to produce results, or you won't be able to convince the others.”

“I wonder how the Patriarch requires me to prove myself?” Max asked casually.

“The Patriarch is always asleep,” Lyanna answered crisply. “He is so powerful that his body consumes too much energy from being awake. Under normal circumstances, he can only reduce his consumption of energy by going into a deep sleep. Truth is, he is not fond of the lifestyle of being awake for a few days and sleeping for the rest of the year.”

Max narrowed his eyes. “The Patriarch wants my help?”

“That's right,” Lyanna said. “The Patriarch requires the blood of the Holy Maiden. Kill her and bring him her blood. The Patriarch can stay awake for a year if he drinks it. However, killing the Holy Maiden is a great sin, and you will incur the church's wrath for it. Besides, the Holy Maiden is heavily protected. I wonder if you have the strength and courage for such a task?”

Max's eyes became slits. “If I kill the Holy Maiden and bring back her blood, the Patriarch will make an exception and make me the fourteenth prince and let me start my own vampire clan?”

“That's right.”

“All right. Await my good news.”

Max turned and left after he finished speaking.

So that's how it is. The Patriarch of the vampires wakes up once a year, usually for three days each time, and the rest of the time is spent in slumber.

Of course, he could be forcibly awakened if the vampires encountered any major changes, but doing so would cause inevitable harm to his health.

Max realized that he was on a tight schedule this time.

However, he had to go all out to become the prince of the vampires and take the first step into their inner circle.

“All right,” he promised. “I will bring back the blood of the Holy Maiden from Eurasia within three days.”

After he spoke, he turned and left.
