Pure brute force—he didn’t fly; he just jumped violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he understood the problem, Herbert changed his approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If dragons won’t work, then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he slowly controlled the muscles of his face, soon transforming into the likeness of Duke Albert as he remembered him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The father and son resembled each other greatly; after minor adjustments, Herbert nearly saw the young Silverwing Duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head again—his face shifted into Blake’s likeness, then changed into three or four other people’s appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for one servant whose face Herbert couldn’t clearly recall, all others were perfectly identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am—the Faceless Man!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“You noticed~ You may not understand dragons, but you know human bodies extremely well.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant, unless he could one day thoroughly study a dragon in detail…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d have to accumulate vast amounts of knowledge first… Still, he’d find a chance to study one deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, my current flesh power isn’t enough to transform into other body types—I can only change into humanoids roughly my own size.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After understanding this, Herbert wasn’t discouraged—he was excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ability had clear limitations, but perfect disguise alone was already more than enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Profit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a major harvest, Herbert decided to press his advantage and expand his gains further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, I still have two drops of vampire blood—let’s absorb them now while I’m at it… Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert reached into his chest pocket—but the vial containing the blood was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up, scanning the room—and spotted a familiar glass bottle on his left, clinging to a shadowy tendril: empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tendril was now stealthily retracting; noticing Herbert’s gaze, it froze awkwardly, swaying side to side and waving at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough! Hey, hey~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nenasha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Huh!? W-what? Do you have a question for the great Nenasha?
