Chapter 127

Sunset Street.

"Please give me two wheat cakes."

Raphael handed two copper coins to the middle-aged man at the stall.

"Are you guests from out of town?"

Mike took the copper coins and was about to pack the wheat cakes, but after catching a glimpse of the purple-haired girl looking forward to it behind Raphael and the expressionless bald man, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

After all, the appearances of the three were very unique, and it was hard to forget them once seen, and he had no impression of them before.

Raphael nodded slightly, indicating admission.

"Since you are guests from out of town, I will give you an extra wheat cake."

Mike smiled brightly, picked out three steaming wheat cakes, packed them, and handed them over.

"... Thank you." It was the first time Raphael had encountered such a situation; he hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Guests, may the gods bless you to have a good time in Twilight City." Mike blessed them enthusiastically.

Crunch, crunch.

"That uncle selling cakes is really a good person."

Latis said vaguely while burying her head and gnawing on the wheat cake like a hamster.

"Finish what's in your mouth before talking." Raphael tapped the girl's head lightly.

"But it is indeed so; it's the first time I've seen a vendor who would give extra food." At the same time, he also sighed softly.

"Only in the Southern Region where food is abundant would this situation occur." Luon, who had silently finished the wheat cake on the side, said in a low voice.

"Sigh, honestly, I quite like this city. Although it's Lord Saimen's order, I really don't want to destroy it..."

After finishing the wheat cake, Latis said with some loss.

As soon as these words came out, Raphael's expression changed suddenly; he fiercely stuffed the wheat cake he hadn't touched yet into the girl's mouth, interrupting her words.

"Mmph, mmph, mmph..."

Afterward, Raphael looked toward Luon on the side nervously, as if fearing that the other party would attack.

"Thank you for your wheat cake." Luon just replied faintly.

This sentence made Raphael relax immediately, and the girl finally pulled the cake out of her mouth, staring at him with a resentful expression.

"Uncle Luon, how were you transformed into a vampire by Lord Saimen?"

After eating another cake, Latis looked at the knotted muscles on the bald, burly man's body and the arms that were thicker than her thighs, and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

After all, the other party's image was completely like two different styles from her and her brother.

Raphael's brows furrowed, and he was about to reprimand her sternly, but was stopped by Luon pressing on his shoulder.

Seeing this, he didn't say anything more; after all, this was also a good opportunity to deepen the team's cohesion.

Most importantly, Raphael knew that Luon was undoubtedly the strongest of the three.

"I was once a gladiator in the Blood Tooth Gladiator Arena; Lord Saimen exchanged freedom for my loyalty." Luon said concisely.

"Wow, then Brother Luon, you must have been in close contact with that Hagek Kesi. What kind of person is he exactly?"

Latis said with stars in her eyes, and the expression on her whole pretty face became excited.

Not long ago, she had witnessed Hagek Kesi's heroic posture in the Blood Tooth Gladiator Arena; the other party's perfect, robust body like a hero of the divine age left a great shock to the girl who had not yet experienced the world.

And Hagek Kesi's great power of tearing apart a named magical beast with his bare hands also matched the girl's psychology of admiring strength.

Therefore, just after one meeting, Latis was completely captured in her heart and became Hagek Kesi's fanatical fan.

This was actually not rare, because in the City of Slaves, Hagek Kesi's fanatical female fans were everywhere.

There were even rumors that several noble ladies were pooling money together, preparing to spend a sky-high price at the slave auction a few months later to bid for Hagek Kesi as a bed slave to enjoy together.

"... He is very, very strong."

After a long silence, Luon spoke slowly.

"Before being transformed into a vampire by Lord Saimen, I was a berserker of the same rank as him, but in front of him, I didn't even have the courage to throw a punch."

Recalling the other party's huge body that was twice as robust as his and that terrifying momentum like a giant dragon, even Luon, who had been expressionless before, had his mouth twitch slightly at this moment.

Can humans really give birth to that kind of monster?

"I definitely know that, Brother Luon, can you tell me what kind of person he is? What does he like to eat? What kind of girls does he like?"

Latis kept asking, her face full of expectation.

"... I only know that he must live very tiredly." After thinking for a while, Luon replied.

"Eh, eh, eh, what does that mean?" Latis asked, puzzled.

"I once had the honor of living in the dungeon next to his. At that time, after fighting every day, he would constantly hit the wall with his body to self-harm, hitting until the whole dungeon was shaking." Luon said with lingering fear.

At that time, he lived in fear every day; he had to worry about being sent out to fight Hagek Kesi and being killed with one punch, and he had to worry about the dungeon being hit and collapsed by Hagek Kesi and being buried by soil.

So much so that he wished he could kneel and beg Hagek Kesi not to hit it anymore.

Fortunately, a berserker of the Morning Star rank was still of some value. Not long after, he was summoned by Lord Saimen to ask if he was willing to be transformed into a vampire by him. In order to survive, he agreed without hesitation.

"Woo woo, Lord Hagek Kesi is really so hard-working. Gods above, after I return to the City of Slaves, I must use love to save him!"

The vampire girl said with teary eyes.

Raphael opened his mouth, but after thinking about it, he closed it again.

After all, he knew what a twenty-one-year-old Crescent Rank represented; that meant that the Radiant Moon Rank, which was known as the pillar of the kingdom, was promising in the future.

If Latis could really use love to influence Hagek Kesi, that would definitely be considered a huge bargain.

It's just that I don't know if Latis's small body can really withstand it?

But if it's a vampire, it can be regenerated if it's broken.

Pop!

Raphael slapped himself silently, which dispelled those blasphemous thoughts.

Latis and Luon looked at the blonde young man strangely, and it wasn't until he shook his head to indicate that he was fine that they moved their eyes away.

"How were you two transformed into vampires by Lord Saimen?" Luon asked; he was also equally curious about their past identities.

"My father was a wealthy merchant; he and my mother had an accident during a trip and passed away. Relatives came to snatch the family property, and it was Lord Saimen who drove those relatives away and adopted us..."

Before Raphael could answer, Latis said first.

Because they were saved, she respected Lord Saimen very much, and there was another reason—Lord Saimen was really super handsome!

Not at all like other Kelai people who mostly had hooked noses and looked stingy.

"Before being transformed into a vampire, my job blessing was a knight, and Latis was a magician." Raphael added.

"Magician, fighter, knight... It seems that Lord Saimen sent us to form a team, and he had seriously considered it." Luon said thoughtfully.

"Yes, the three of us with Morning Star combat power are more than enough to take down Red Fox Castle, which has lost the protection of the Crescent Knight." Latis said carelessly.

"Be cautious, as the only pure land of Sosia, the Southern Region might be hiding dragons and crouching tigers; it's hard to guarantee that no strong people will intervene." Raphael said cautiously.

"Brother is really timid~" Latis made a face at him and ran happily forward with the tea bag.

"With such a younger sister, it seems you haven't worried less about her."

Looking at the worried look on the blonde young man's face, Luon sighed.

"After all, she is my last family member." Raphael's mouth rose slightly, and a brilliant smile flashed on his handsome face.

"Brother Luon, if we encounter a desperate situation in this operation, I will sacrifice myself to cover your retreat. Can you take Latis and run away together?"

"Good deal, done."
