Salute To The General

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.

Lyanna gazed at his tall silhouette. "The current Holy Maiden is

Hepburn. The church has recently

sent her to visit Eurasiaould

make a trip there."

Max's brows creased involuntarily.

Eurasia. The forbidden territory for assassins and mercenaries, also known as God's forsaken land.

Adrunian assassins, mercenaries,

and other powerful entities regarded

1

Eurasia as a forbidden area and were wary of stepping past the. border without a good reason, as trespassers were known to suffer grotesque fates.

Eurasia had always treated her enemies who entered her borders to wreak havoc with punishments of the most severe kind.

That was why Max frowned when he heard that he was to head to Eurasia to apprehend the Holy Maiden.

He considered waiting for the Holy Maiden to conclude her visit to Eurasia and return to Adrune before making a move, which might prove to be more efficient.

Lyanna seemed to have guessed his

thoughts. "Don't even think about waiting for the Holy Maiden to return from her visit to Eurasia before making your move. The Patriarch

will only be awake for three davet

when he wakes up this time, and he will fall asleep again if he doesn't drink the blood of the Holy Maiden before then. If nothing goes wrong, it'll be a year from today when he next wakes up." She looked at Max. "That is why you cannot wait for the Holy Maiden to return from Eurasia. You only have three days."

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.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
