Chapter 445: Enters (Final Half)

”This one too?” a big vampire requested as he lifted a coat hanger very fastidiously.

“Undoubtedly that one,” Fairleigh mentioned as he nodded.

“The place to stash the tablecloths?” one other vampire inquired.

“Set the tables like they was on the seventeenth image.”

“Understood,” the attendant mentioned as she started fastidiously utilizing telekinesis to maneuver the tables and chairs into their actual positions, as proven in some outdated image. A second vampire joined in solely to double-check all the scale and distances have been completely right. A 3rd got here to place down the forks, knives, smaller forks, tiny spoons, massive spoons, medium spoons, and every kind of the totally different and completely superfluous fancy-ass tableware.

Jake simply stood again as he watched all of this occur. At first, he had simply thought the vampires have been eccentric collectors of outdated objects, however by now, he realized… they have been simply straight-up hoarders. Organized hoarders with comparatively fastidious style, however hoarders nonetheless.

Fairleigh, the S-grade Patriarch, even personally selected to supervise as the various vampires labored to recreate a eating corridor precisely because it was proven in one of many photos Jake had discovered. It wasn’t even one thing from a portray, however an image in a e-book on correct desk manners.

Not that Jake selected to complain. In reality, at the moment, he was simply ready for the jeweler to reach alongside together with his agreed-upon items being collected and ready for him. The Alchemy Token had by some means ended up not even being that huge of a deal. The work of outdated vampires from Yalsten, the books from the library telling their historical past, and the various random objects Jake had swiped turned out to be much more worthwhile within the eyes of the vampires.

The rationale for this was finally easy. The Alchemy Token was not really an merchandise of the Nalkar vampires however merely a present they acquired from the Order. It was an merchandise almost similar to many tokens nonetheless created in the present day and had little to do with the tradition and historical past of the vampiric race.

Jake couldn’t assist however contemplate what would have occurred if he had proven up with the divine artifact the Sword Saint had gotten. In some methods, he was really glad he hadn’t gotten that necklace as he feared the extent of madness these vampires would present upon seeing it.

The negotiation course of had already been lots as-is, and Jake had no concept if he received scammed. Although, to be truthful, he felt like he was the scammer, promoting off outdated furnishings and mundane objects he had no use for and would most likely simply have given away or used for a fun-time bonfire or one thing.New novel chapters are printed on no/vel(b)in(.)co/m

After trying on a bit longer, Fairleigh lastly turned to him. “I simply received phrase the crafter is able to assist with the necklace. Are you ready to depart, or do you want to keep and observe the recreation some extra?”

“Upgrading the necklace takes precedence,” Jake mentioned, not having the center to inform the traditional vampire that he actually didn’t need to see a gaggle of highly effective vampires set a desk as if their lives relied on it.

“Very nicely,” the Patriarch mentioned, trying solely barely disenchanted as he teleported the each of them.

They appeared in what regarded like an space of town Jake had first arrived in. Besides this place was clearly a part of the industrial district as Jake stood earlier than a large store.

That C-grade vampire that originally introduced him to the Patriarch was already there ready. The Patriarch gave the younger lad a nod earlier than he teleported away, leaving Jake with the vampire referred to as Alcor.

The vampire appeared much more respectful now than the final time they met as he motioned for Jake to observe. “Please observe me; the mistress has already ready all the appropriate supplies for the crafting session.”

Jake nodded as he was led into the store. He observed how the road was devoid of individuals, and Alcor clearly observed his confusion. The one folks he noticed have been himself, Alcor, and a single different individual at the moment throughout the store.

“We cleared out the world in preparation on your go to to not have any of the livestock gawking through the crafting session and to keep away from disturbances,” Alcor defined nonchalantly.

“Livestock, huh,” Jake simply commented.

“I’m conscious they are often annoying, however sadly, they’re vital,” Alcor sighed, clearly not understanding Jake’s remark.

“You already know,” Jake mentioned simply as they entered the store, “I as soon as fought what occurs when livestock reaches a breaking level and will get the facility to withstand and battle again. It doesn’t prove fairly for the oppressors.”

He was clearly speaking concerning the Minotaur Mindchief. The circumstances again then had been very totally different, and Jake would argue the vampires have been operating a far better danger. Then once more, what the hell did he know? The vampires had managed to persist for Eras.

“I believe it could prove fairly nicely,” he heard a feminine voice say as the lady throughout the store regarded them. “I didn’t kill anybody once I acquired the reward. I did have a couple of who wanted to be put of their place, however now we’re all household.”

Jake regarded over and noticed a feminine vampire standing there to welcome them. She had lengthy black hair, the same old crimson eyes, and the equally commonplace magnificence he had come to count on from all vampires. In reality, all vampires he had ever seen took the entire “look higher with each evolution” idea to a completely new stage.

He knew he tended to need to be left alone whereas crafting.

“That may be preferable. Nonetheless, I’ll want you to nonetheless keep shut. There’s a ready room subsequent door you’ll be able to select to remain in, however so long as you keep inside a kilometer or so, it needs to be tremendous.”

Nodding as soon as extra, Jake determined to simply go subsequent door as he would additionally watch for one thing else: his alchemy components.

He mentioned his goodbyes and was led by Alcor into the constructing subsequent door. It was a big lounge room with not a single different individual in sight. There was nonetheless nobody inside his sphere both. As he was subsequent door, he might nonetheless see into the shop of the jeweler. She had gone all the way down to the cellar and activated a variety of wards and formations to cover, however after all, none of that mattered to Jake’s Bloodline-powered Sphere of Notion.

Jake noticed her fastidiously place the necklace on an alter as she ready a number of components in a magic circle round it. He regarded on a bit extra earlier than he stopped, selecting to respect her privateness. He additionally had no concept what she was doing.

Ten minutes or so handed, with Jake simply getting into meditation. Alcor was not talkative both however simply quietly stood in a nook together with his eyes closed, ready. After these ten minutes, Jake noticed motion exterior the constructing as he noticed Fairleigh seem, holding two crystals in his fingers.

Fairleigh entered as Jake regarded up, figuring out the 2 crystals earlier than the outdated vampire walked over and had an opportunity to talk.

[Alchemist’s Bloodgem Spatial Storage (Rare)] – A gem containing a spatial storage that’s particularly suited to any blood-affinity herbs and pure treasures. The vitality of the gem is slowly leaking, giving it a severely restricted lifespan.

[Memory Crystal (Common)] – A crystal containing infused data.

One was a gem no-doubt containing all of the herbs and such that they had agreed upon. The opposite was one thing a bit extra sudden, and Fairleigh shortly defined.

“I took the courtesy of making a Reminiscence Crystal from the enter of a proficient alchemist from the household who’s specialised in hemotoxins. It incorporates his insights into the agreed-upon supplies in addition to some suggestions and methods. I hope this addition is a welcome one,” the vampire mentioned with a smile.

“And, after all, the components you requested. It took fairly a dive into the gardens to seek out all of them, particularly in such portions and all appropriate for D-grades, however we managed to take action. I as soon as extra took a little bit of liberty and positioned them inside this Bloodgem so that you can transport the components whereas ensuring they lose none of their efficiency. It’s far worse than a real Alchemical Spatial Storage, however it should make do. Simply know it should solely final a couple of extra a long time.”

Jake nodded in acknowledgment.

“I’ve no plans of taking that lengthy earlier than utilizing the components. The crystal can be greater than welcome,” Jake mentioned. The vampires had handled him fairly properly to date, even when they did have some inherent cultural points.

“Now, I might give you yet one more factor, however I assume I already know your reply?” Fairleigh requested in a not very hopeful tone.

“No, I’ve little interest in changing into a vampire,” Jake shut it down.

“A disgrace. Really a disgrace. You’ll match proper in,” Fairleigh sighed however was not really disenchanted. Clearly had had low or no expectations to start with.

“Why would you reject such a proposal?” Alcor abruptly butted in, real confusion in his voice. “Wouldn’t it not be purely higher? It will let you solely concentrate on both a category or a occupation with out sacrificing power, solidifying your Path.”

“Baby,” Fairleigh mentioned as he turned to Alcor. The younger vampire froze in concern as Jake felt a little bit of bloodlust leak out of the outdated vampire. “When a present is rejected, you graciously settle for the opposite celebration’s determination. The rest is unacceptable. Do I make myself clear?”

“Sure… Patriarch,” Alcor mentioned, barely getting the phrases out as he regarded like he might barely breathe.

“Mood your vanity,” Fairleigh sighed. “We vampires will not be essentially superior. No enlightened race is. For all, vampirism is a alternative, and if the hunter doesn’t deem vampirism a part of his Path, we must always by no means declare to know higher or falsely consider ours extra highly effective.”

“I perceive,” Alcor repeated as he stared down on the floor. Jake, nonetheless, felt that the man didn’t fully agree.

“Sufficient of that,” Fairleigh mentioned as he smiled once more and despatched the crystal and Bloodgem floating in direction of Jake.

Jake caught them each and didn’t maintain again as he inspected the spatial storage gem, a big smile forming on his lips.

He was about to have a bloody good crafting session.
