Letter of a Vampire
Vampire Kingdom Todeum.
Weed and his party arrived to their destination.
The first glimpse was the projecting spires shooting toward the sky; of which belonging to dozen of old rustic castles surrounded by mountains.
Broken gravestones and burial mounds.
Essential indicated a cemetery within the mountain ranges.
“Ahh, this is Todeum.”
“So many castles.”
“Lots of graves.”
The energy flown out from Toteum was eerie.
There was the cold, but from some unknown place, the chills were creeping in!
Due to the thick fog that encompassed the area, the far away horizon could not be seen.
Became the first to discover Vampire Kingdom Todeum.
Rewards:
+820 Reputation.
If reported to an aristocratic member or to a royal family of Versailles continent, additional compensation will be rewarded.
For discovering a kingdom in an unexplored region, the quest rewards from this region will be 2x for a week.
Todeum!
Tori’s promised location.
Weed slowly stepped forward. He pretended to be undaunted, but still could not settle down.
‘I cannot relax. If I do, my devastatingly huge misfortune will consume me.’
Arrival at the kingdom should have been comforting; but, if anything, it has brought in more vigilance.
‘It’s always the calm before the storm. Have to be on alert for any requests before accepting them.’
He was thinking about the compensation to the difficulty ratio of quests prior to spending energy after reception. When everything was checked out accordingly, then expectations can be high.
He didn’t want quests that were similar to having a watermelon flung at you from behind that came out of nowhere!
Then, it couldn’t be avoided.
And the run is over.
Those quests are just the temptation at first sight and leads to nothing else but death.
They first quest they accepted in Seirun was already a rank B quest, from what seemingly a town for starters; so it was understandable to speculate that the Vampire Kingdom Todeum quests would be much more difficult in comparison.
‘There are indications of quests. But nothing alarming.’
Each elegant and classically built castle was connected to each other, forming a huge citadel. But the feeling weren’t the least human.
There were no traces of living beings or to a smaller extent, bats, observed within this giant fortress.
The colossal Todeum appeared menacing.
Near the gate, Weed discovered fragmented pieces of wood written in cursive by someone.
« To keep…our nice blood. »
“……”
Weed thought it was absurd, but he continued reading.
« Drink blood three times a day. Regular Vampires must never skip sleeping in the morning.
To us, Todeum was a comfortable home.
As a hobby, late at night, I wake up and start with a little stretching, then turn into a bat and fly around Todeum.
The banquet room in Blood Palace is a good example of our luxurious vampire race.
The humans that lived around us have already been condemned to slavery.
The humans worked for us such as cattle, and had sacrificed their blood to us.
Isn’t it wonderful? Thanks to the sacrificial of humans, we were kept away from death.
As Todeum increasingly became gloomier by the day, so did the Power of Darkness, which added to our strength.
But with the increase of the mighty Power of Darkness, our enemies too, rose from their slumber.
The Pegasus that flies in the sky.
The Innocent loving Unicorn.
They simultaneously attacked our darling Todeum.
They weren’t affected by our legendary Power of Darkness at all.
As we were peace loving, and though we were scared, we had to fight.
Oh, as to why Vampires hate Unicorns? There is a deep historical reason. »
At that, Weed took a quick glance at the wooden boards below.
The long narration as to why the Vampires and Unicorns had deep hatred for one another spanned over a total of seven pieces (of wood.) It was something trivial such as the Unicorns snatched away virgin Vampire maidens, or stole jewelry or gold, etc.
« Anyway, it was difficult for us Vampires to fend off the Pegasus and Unicorns’ attack. Unlike the humans, we did not have the number to do so. Thus, Todeum’s day and night were occupied and the citadel fell.
But this event wasn’t all the misery that fell upon our Bloody family.
With the strength of the Power of Darkness too was on the decline, the humans who have lived here in ancient time would return.
For that specific reason, they had a tower built within the citadel of Todeum.
Hero’s Tower.
We want You to destroy that place and to reclaim the pride of Vampires.
If this is not possible, then at very least suppress the Unicorns and Pegasus to the bare minimum.
Note: Our Vampire families doesn’t have any foreign currency, but if You succeed the request, we’ll allow you to enter our treasury. »
Ttiring!
The request from an unknown Vampire.
Todeum’s only remnant is a vampire’s record.
Under the annoyance of the Pegasus and Unicorns, the Vampires had hidden themselves and would not come out. The virtue of the Vampires is still a mystery, but it seems alright to comply with their request. Within the Vampire clan’s treasury, the soul of Koldeurim was trapped in a bead; and at the moment of the bead’s destruction, his soul will be liberated. If You want to see the true nature of the Vampire Kingdom Todeum, then engrave your name onto the board.
Difficulty: A
Rewards:
Can obtain a level 400 or more Unique grade weapon.
The weapon can be directly selected from the weapon’s warehouse.
Koldeurim’s Liberation.
Quest limit: Death will result in immediate transportation to the Versailles continent. Quest will fail.
Grade A difficulty quest finally revealed itself!
Additional Information: Koldeurim’s Liberation.
Koldeurim, a Knight of the Kallamore Kingdom 30 years ago.
The hero that was the salvation of the Kingdom, who have led and won countless victories against the Kingdom of Haven. One day, a loyal soldier discovered his body while getting drinks for his horse. Through a plot devised by the Kingdom of Haven, he was presumed dead on 2013.
But in reality.
The Kingdom of Haven instigated his kidnapping with the help with the Vampires, but it was unsuccessful. So then, the Vampire counsel decided to lay a honey trap. They use the beauty of the Vampire Queen and seduced him to lower his guard.
Alone, Koldeurim soul was lost and sealed in a bead.
If Koldeurim soul is liberated, he will be revived on the Versailles continent; and the unfinished war between the Kingdom of Haven and Kallamore Kingdom will resume.
If Koldeurim’s soul is liberated, You will receive 23, 000 points in Public Relation with the Kallamore Kingdom.
A full-scale war between the Kallamore Kingdom and the Kingdom of Haven will occur.
“Ueaaaaaaahhhhh.”
“I can’t believe this! Such a difficult commission.”
“Pegasus! Levels around 420. And the Unicorns are a bit higher.”
“Plus, they can take to the sky. We can’t accept this request.”
This was the first time the members of the party encountered an A difficulty quest, and all were in panic mode.
However, Geomchi and the instructors had a different mindset.
“Geomchi2.”
“Yes, Master.”
“What are these Pegasus and Unicorn bastards?”
“Their powers are legendary.”
“Stronger than me?”
“Is that even possible? Master is invincible.”
Flattery was the best way to handle this.
Especially when the risk of getting a hole blown into his body was located next to him.
Geomchi3 quickly shouted.
“Even infants know that Master is a Celestrial Being!”
In normal cases, Geomchi and the instructors’ willingness to fight might seem a bit creepy.
But they had been relaxing while viewing the scenery for more than ten days already, so everybody was itching for a battle.
The practitioners were also in favor of the request.
“Why’s the pending, isn’t it good to kill strong guys?”
“That’s right! This is a chance to see the Pegasus to their deaths, isn’t it so rare?”
“I think we should check up on the Royal Road’s board, to check how we’ll fare against them.”
“Well, Weed will think of something!”
They had no countermeasure.
They figured the situation will somehow take care of itself, so they weren’t at the bit least worried.
‘That’s right. Weed showed this side before.’
‘If it’s Weed nim, we can trust his judgment.’
The party turned their attention to Weed. Until now, they have put their faith onto Weed to make the best decision.
In fact, the request didn’t make sense in the first place.
The Pegasus and Unicorns can use magic affiliated with nature, while they move fast and could also take to the sky.
Therefore, aside from their levels, it was already hard enough to have such monsters as the opponents.
‘Forget about it.’
‘It’d be easier to commit suicide.’
Fighting back against the desperate pleading eyes of his party members, Weed placed his gaze on the rewards.
“The Vampire’s treasury and Koldeurim’s Liberation.”
The treasury must contain some unknown item, as a grade A quest’s compensation shouldn’t be this simple. Yeurika’s Bow, Baharan’s Bracelet, becoming the Earl of Morata was such quests’ rewards.
Koldeurim’s Liberation reward stated was huge.
“23, 000 points of Public Relation is tremendous.”
The points can be exchange for items, and can even be use to borrow soldiers. And can even be helpful when buying goods; in Weed’s case, although not necessary, it can even be use to increase Reputation or even obtain a title.
“A jackpot to encounter this grade A quest with such good rewards.”
Facing this terrific compensation, his usual mindset was lost.
Weed said at once.
“Ima accept this quest.”
Then he took out his carving knife and engraved his name onto the board.
You have accepted the quest.
“Eos.” (ack!)
“Weed nim!”
Everyone gasped in surprise. No matter how unreasonable the quest was, Weed readily accepted it.
Weed didn’t hesitate once bit and continued to engrave the oth
