Flaming Rose, in cabin 015. After sleeping for half an afternoon, Lin Qiming stretched himself, got up from the soft big bed, tidied his clothes, opened the door and walked out. He was about to go to the next room on the right, cabin 016, to call James Howlett to the restaurant for dinner.
Unexpectedly, before he stretched out his hand to knock on the door, the door of the next room on the left opened, and Fabia, who had been ridiculed by James Howlett before, came out, bowed respectfully in front of him and said
"Dear Mr. Lin, I am Fabia, the housekeeper of Archduke Ferdinand. The Archduke would like to invite you to dinner!"
Lin Qiming was startled. He did not expect to meet Tiffana's father here.
He had kidnapped Tiffana for more than 10 years and had never gone back to her parents' home with her. At most, he would occasionally have a drink and chat with his brother-in-law Ares. I am afraid that this vampire archduke will eat me alive later.
However, thinking of his current strength and a few life-saving terms, it seems that he does not need to be afraid of a vampire archduke. Besides, he still has Tiffana's face. It is impossible for him to come up and beat him to death.
"Hello Fabia, are you going to cabin 013?"
Fabia shook her head and pointed to the glass building above her head.
"Of course not. The big man has booked the high-altitude viewing restaurant. Just follow me."
After he said that, he walked in front and led the way. They climbed up a spiral staircase to the transparent restaurant on the top floor. The area was not too large and could only accommodate 20 people for dinner.
Lin Qiming followed behind and walked into the restaurant.
In the center, there was a round table. Sitting on the main seat was an old man in gorgeous clothes. His every move was gentle and elegant, full of the style of medieval British aristocrats.
"Come and sit here. Old man, you have been waiting for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here."
The old man waved his hand and pointed to the seat next to him.
Since he was here, Lin Qiming didn't hesitate to walk over, pulled out the chair and sat down.
"System, check his entry for me."
He secretly ordered the system to check the old man's entry, preparing to copy and fuse a few that could be used to temporarily improve his own strength, so that he would not be unable to deal with the other party when he turned hostile.
【Name: Ferdinand Bruch】
【Identity: Patriarch of the Bruch clan, Grand Duke of Vampires】
【Race: Blood】
【Intelligence: 3】
【Strength: 5】
【Speed: 5】
【Stamina: 6】
【Energy emission: 5】
【Combat Skill: 7】
【[Own Items: Immortality (gold), Life Devouring (purple), Blood Source Domination (purple), True Ancestor Power (purple), Blood Magic Mastery (purple), Blood Control (purple), Historical Witness (blue), Human Executioner (blue)]
After reading Archduke Ferdinand's item, Lin Qiming frowned slightly.
This guy not only has many items with high levels, but also has overwhelming attributes. Many powerful items are closely related to vampire characteristics, and there are few that he can use, not to mention negative items like Human Executioner.
"System, copy Archduke Ferdinand's four entries: Immortality (gold), Life Devouring (purple), Blood Manipulation (purple), and Historical Witness (blue) for me, and merge them immediately after copying!"
【Replication in progress. Please keep the distance from the target within 100 meters within 1 hour. 】
The old man saw him frowning, thinking that he was dissatisfied with the food not being served yet, so he snapped his fingers casually.
Fabia immediately nodded slightly to the waiter in the restaurant, and soon the waiter brought a plate of beautifully shaped dishes one after another, and arranged them in the shape of flowers on the round table.
"The chef of this restaurant is a famous French chef. His ancestors worked as a special chef for King Louis XVI of France. Many of the dishes have a unique court flavor."
"Like this cold dish of ice cream and yogurt, which was Louis XVI's favorite appetizer, and this French orange foie gras sauce……"
The old man had a ruddy complexion, unlike the other vampires who were pale, and he kindly introduced the delicacies on the table.
Even though Lin Qiming didn't like Western food, he couldn't refuse the elder's favor and took a bite of each.
After tasting the thirteen dishes one by one, he was only accustomed to the ice cream yogurt and French stewed potatoes, and avoided the orange foie gras pate and French onion soup.
Fabia then brought two bottles of decanted red wine, one of which had the logo of a French Bordeaux winery on it, while the other had no logo at all. The wine seemed to be thicker than ordinary red wine when shaken.
"It seems that you don't like French food very much. It's a pity that you can't have the pleasure of enjoying it!"
"Fabia, pour the wine. I want to have a drink with my son-in-law!"
The old man smiled and told the butler to pour wine for the two.
Fabia elegantly poured a glass of wine for each of them. The one from the Bordeaux red wine bottle was handed to Lin Qiming, and the one from the unmarked bottle was handed to the old man.
The complex but tempting aroma of top-grade Bordeaux red wine lingered in the nose, a light fresh fruity aroma mixed with the fragrance of spices and violets, and a slightly spicy taste in the rich scent of flowers, which made the wine in the glass have a rich layered sense, making people salivate before drinking it.
Lin Qiming picked up the wine glass and shook it, and the rose-red liquid slowly swirled in the glass.
He did not immediately taste the taste of the top-grade Bordeaux red wine. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the blood-red liquid in the old man's glass.
"Archduke Ferdinand, I should call you father, but what you are drinking doesn't seem to be wine. I can smell a faint smell of blood, and I can hear the screams and cries of girls. I wonder how many virgins died to make this special bottle of 'wine'?"
It's not that Lin Qiming has a strong sense of justice, but as a human being, seeing the blood of his own kind being used as red wine to accompany the meal, he felt a sense of sympathy for his own kind.
Archduke Ferdinand was stunned for a moment, swallowed the delicious wine in his mouth and laughed.
"Hahaha, you are the first one who dares to question me face to face. Interesting, so interesting! No wonder���Funa would not go home for more than 10 years just for you. She must like your toughness and fearlessness!"
"But what you said happened hundreds of years ago. We vampires realized earlier than you humans that we can't kill all our food, otherwise we will starve in the future."
"So, boy, you guessed wrong, they are all living very well!"
He paused for a moment, as if appreciating the surprised expression on his son-in-law's face, and then took another sip of blood-red wine provocatively before continuing.
"I have many beautiful virgins in my manor. They enjoy the most generous material life in the world and the best spiritual enjoyment. All they have to pay is to regularly draw a certain amount of blood. I will let them go after they turn 20. Unfortunately, they would rather continue to be blood slaves of other high-level vampires than give up their generous lives."
Lin Qiming did not doubt his words. It is human nature to be lazy and greedy for enjoyment.
If it is really like what his father-in-law said, it is estimated that the women in the world who want to be blood slaves can line up from Edmonton to London.
"Well, I misunderstood you, I apologize!"
He raised his glass and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.
【The entry has been copied, and the host can merge it at any time without any discomfort! 】
Lin Qiming was delighted, and finally waited for the system's prompt
"Fusion the system for me now, faster!"
【Ding! Fusion in progress...Fusion completed, host please note, the immortality entry will transform your body, and the historical witness will instill a lot of historical information! 】
He was mentally prepared, and chatted with Archduke Ferdinand calmly, but a stream of heat surged out of his body.
As the heat flowed in the body, it seemed that it not only acted on human tissues and organs such as muscles, bones, and internal organs, but also violently transformed at the cellular level, and even penetrated into the genetic level. After the endless life force filled the body, the telomeres at the ends of the chromosomes gradually grew. A huge amount of information was released in an instant, impacting Lin Qiming's brain.
Just like the legendary epiphany, the time Archduke Ferdinand had experienced in his life, as well as the secret historical information he had mastered, all played quickly like slides, turned into a torrent of information and was absorbed by his brain.
At the same time, he also possessed new abilities brought by the life devouring and blood manipulation entries, and his combat skills and strength were greatly improved.
"Well, your life force has become stronger, and your temperament has become more mature."
"Just now, I seemed to see my own shadow in you,"
Archduke Ferdinand's pupils shrank, and a blood-red light flashed in his needle-sized pupils.
He was using blood clan magic to explore what changes had happened to the human boy in front of him, but no matter how he changed the type of magic, he could only see that his vitality was growing rapidly.
The existence and power of the Supreme Entry System were naturally not something that a mere vampire Archduke could detect. Let alone him, even if Dracula came in person, he would not be able to find any clues.
Lin Qiming was very confident about this and grinned and laughed.
"Hahaha, Grand Duke, you are joking. I am just in high spirits because of happy events!"
"It is my honor to meet you in a foreign land. I would like to invite you to Edmonton, and let Tiffany and I show our filial piety. Do you think it is okay?"
The relationship between the two is very delicate now, but he has seen that Archduke Ferdinand has absolutely no intention of killing him. At most, he is a little dissatisfied with his daughter who has not returned home for more than 10 years.
So Lin Qiming simply made it clear and took the initiative to help his father-in-law.
Unexpectedly, Archduke Ferdinand's face turned stern after hearing this. The kind smile before disappeared, replaced by solemnity and majesty. He really took out the posture of the Grand Duke and scolded coldly.
"Why should I go to your place, to see my daughter serving you with other women?"
"Humph, if it weren't for Tiffany's twisted personality, once she falls in love with someone, she will be loyal to that person forever. I'm afraid that if I kill you, she will fight me to the death. Do you think you can sit in front of me and talk nonsense?"
Lin Qiming is not afraid at all now, leaning back on the back of the chair.
Not only that, he arrogantly crossed his legs and confidently talked about the family secrets he heard from Tiffany, and retorted with a joking face
"I say, my father-in-law, the Grand Duke, as a human being, bah, even as a vampire, you can’t be so hypocritical!"
"Annalia, Fiona, Yanita, Efioma... You seem to have more women than I do, including ladies from other clans and even Spanish princesses."
After saying a series of names, Archduke Ferdinand's face turned purple.
"Shut up, this is what Tiffany told you, this unfilial girl tells everything to others!"
"Get out of here now, kid! I don't want to see you again!"
He felt so embarrassed that he drove the man away in anger.
Lin Qiming didn't dare to continue provoking Archduke Ferdinand. If he really angered his father-in-law, he would definitely get beaten up. He should follow his heart when it's time to do it.
After he left, Fabia bowed carefully and asked
"Grand Duke, do you want to go to Edmonton to see Princess Tiffany?"
Having served Archduke Ferdinand for his whole life, he, as the chief butler, knows his master very well. Even though he was so angry that he chased people away just now, he still misses the little princess very much in his heart. As a servant, he has to take the initiative to speak up for his master.
"Well, you go and arrange it. By the way, change the room for me."
"I don’t want to see that brat these days, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to help but pinch him to death!"
"Humph, you are really rebellious. You actually dare to mock me in person!"
Archduke Ferdinand took a sip of blood wine and relieved the stagnation in his chest.
