Ascension To Divine Throne - Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Pure Ones?
Chapter 135 Pure Ones?

‘I was thinking, why is this vampire so cooperative, answering whatever I ask, turns out he’s been waiting for me here!’

But, what does he want my help for?

Only now did William react and asked uncertainly, “Lord Marion, may I ask what I can do for you?”

“Just now I mentioned I came to Canlight City to find someone, I wonder if Lord William would be willing to help me with this favor?”

Marion had a reason for asking William for help. He could sense a legendary aura emanating from William. The means William employed to save himself when facing that Golden-tier vampire last time were clearly legendary.

In other words, there was a legendary figure behind William.

In Canlight City, this William Cain should also be a quite powerful presence. With his help, finding someone would undoubtedly be more efficient.

Marion had wasted a lot of time already. Although Prince Burnes had not specified a deadline for his mission, it wouldn’t be good if the deity left Canlight City because of a delay.

“What person are you looking for?”

William was curious. With all this fuss, hadn’t this vampire found that person yet?

“I can’t disclose the details, but I’d appreciate it if Lord William could keep an eye on the whereabouts of vampires in the city.”

Marion smiled faintly.

“That’s fine. How should I inform you when I have any information?”

William asked calmly, already starting to suspect.

“I don’t have a fixed residence in Canlight City, but I come here every morning for breakfast. If Lord William has any news, you can find me here.”

Marion nodded with a smile, adding, “If you really help me find that person, I believe I can offer you a satisfactory reward.”

“Okay.”

Seeing William agree to the deal, Marion bid farewell and left.

William watched him go, probably off to shop for food again.

“What a strange vampire.”

William turned his head to look at Angela resting on his shoulder, smiling as he said, “Just like you.”

—

Without going to find Mora again, William directly took a carriage back to his mansion.

This vampire named Marion was very strange. Despite being powerful, he always gave William a feeling of being out of place.

What concerned William most was that Marion said he came to Canlight City to find someone, and that someone was a vampire.

For some reason, William had a premonition.

Marion’s target was Angela!

But strangely, both times William encountered Marion, he showed no reaction to Angela sitting on his shoulder.

Moreover, both Marion and Angela had peculiar habits. Although they were vampires, they weren’t very keen on blood but instead enjoyed other foods.

This was completely different from the vampires William knew, and he hadn’t encountered such beings in his past life either.

But he had someone powerful in his own home!

Puzzled, William decided to tell Joyce about Angela’s situation and see if he could get any useful information from him.

When he arrived home, Joyce was teaching Ashley in the courtyard, and Ashley was studying very diligently.

Jack’s wounds had almost healed. After surviving the most dangerous phase, Jack, as a Golden-tier strongman, could now rely on his self-healing abilities, and his body recovered quickly. At this moment, he moved a small stool and sat cautiously on the side, listening attentively.

Joyce didn’t mind his behavior and patiently explained the precautions of the assassin skill “Shadow Stab.” This was a rare low-level skill that could utilize the power of shadows.

Standing beside him for a while, William saw Joyce’s teaching come to an end and then asked, “Uncle Joyce, I have something to consult you about.”

Joyce didn’t find it strange at the words, nodding before giving Ashley a few instructions. Then, he and Young Master William headed to the study on the second floor of the mansion.

“What’s the matter, Young Master William?” Joyce asked, sitting on the sofa. Since Joyce stopped hiding his identity, their interactions had become much more casual.

Although William had suggested otherwise, Joyce continued his duties as the steward of the mansion.

“I encountered a very peculiar vampire and wanted to consult you about it,” Young Master William said, briefly recounting the situation with the vampire Marion, especially his suspicion that Marion was looking for Angela.

Joyce frowned slightly. Every once in a while, he would visit the Assassin Guild to gather the latest information. After all, he was an honorary elder of the Assassin Guild of the Fanor Continent. However, he hadn’t been to the guild recently due to being busy teaching Young Master William and Ashley, so he was unaware of the recent events in the downtown area.

But when it came to these peculiar vampires, he did have some impression.

“It might be the Pure Ones,” Joyce admitted. He did indeed know about this peculiar group of vampires.

William sat quietly, waiting for Joyce to explain this lesser-known secret.

“Just like the little bat on your shoulder, those vampires are very strange. They rarely feed on the blood of other creatures and seem to lack the bloodlust typical of normal vampires.”

“Their numbers are very small, and they seem to only operate in a few human kingdoms adjacent to the Navia Great Forest in the south of the Fanor Continent.”

“They generally refer to themselves as the ‘Pure Ones’ and are quite hostile towards normal vampires, even considered mortal enemies. No one knows why.”

“Because this group of special vampires almost never actively attacks other intelligent beings, including humans, they are considered lawful, so the Church and the human kingdoms in the south tacitly acknowledge their existence.”

Joyce thought for a moment, adding, “There’s also a theory that because these vampires have very pure blood, some believe they are the original Pure Ones passed down, while the majority of vampires nowadays have been corrupted by some evil god, resulting in the bloodthirsty behavior we see now.”

William seemed to understand somewhat and looked at Joyce, asking, “You said their numbers are very small. If Angela is also part of the Pure Ones, is it possible that the vampire who came to Canlight City is looking for her?”

Joyce glanced at the white bat lying obediently in his hand, shaking his head. “I’m not sure about that. Those vampires rarely interact with outsiders, so there’s rarely any news about them.”

What should he do? William was uncertain.

Seeing William’s troubled expression, Joyce smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Why not just ask him directly?”

“The next time you see him, bring him here.”

“I’m also interested in learning more.”

At Joyce’s words, William’s eyes lit up.

‘Of course, why did I forget? I can just ask the elders directly!’
