Chapter 1649 - 909: Vivian’s Confession

[Desolate Flame Capital], Vivian Tavern,

Lis once again entered this tavern he frequented.

However, this time, his feelings were slightly different from before.

Previously, Lis considered Vivian Tavern just an intelligence center for Abyss Demons, where he could obtain information from other Abyss planes.

Although there was likely a very powerful Abyss Lord behind Vivian Tavern, Lis believed that such an existence would certainly not notice a vampire of merely Golden Rank like himself.

However, the commission provided by the enchanting demon Vivian to Lis this time seemed too coincidental.

Such an easily accessible secret realm, with such a great harvest, seemed tailor-made for Lis.

Lis did not believe there was such a free lunch in the Endless Abyss.

Encountering such a situation indeed made Lis somewhat skeptical.

What worried Lis most was that his identity might have been discovered by an Abyss Lord.

And this relic left by Timothy was meant to test him.

Therefore, during the exploration of Timothy’s relic, Lis did not display any abilities unrelated to being a vampire.

Although there were other ways out, the chance to enter the Endless Abyss this time was still extremely valuable for Lis.

Unless absolutely necessary, Lis did not plan to give it up.

Therefore, Lis planned to first explore the situation at Vivian Tavern.

After all, it’s indeed possible that all of this was a coincidence.

The Blood Erosion Fang, Timothy, was a demigod vampire, and commissioning a vampire to explore his relic was indeed necessary.

But Vivian Tavern did not seek out others, nor did they find a companion for Lis, as if they were letting Lis try his luck directly.

Regarding this, Lis still wanted to see what Vivian Tavern’s true intentions were.

While pondering these matters, Lis had already entered Vivian Tavern.

As before, there weren’t many demons in Vivian Tavern, and they were all separate, not engaging in conversation.

After entering the tavern, Lis didn’t linger and headed directly toward the tavern counter.

Vivian was sitting behind the counter, and when she saw Lis, she smiled gently and said to him:

"Welcome back to Vivian Tavern."

"Looks like this commission went rather smoothly?"

"But it took quite some time."

Lis whispered as he sat in front of Vivian.

This time, he spent almost half a year in Timothy’s relic.

Of course, most of the time was spent absorbing the Power of Blood from the Sea of Blood and the palace.

In fact, Lis didn’t spend much time exploring Timothy’s relic.

"That was once the domain of a demigod, after all, so caution is naturally required."

Vivian said with a smile, her bewitching eyes narrowed slightly, like a softly chuckling cat.

"So, Lord Edward, is there anything you’d like to tell me?"

Vivian continued, placing a glass of wine foaming with a blood-red hue in front of Lis.

"What if I say nothing, Vivian?"

Lis asked softly, looking at Vivian:

"After all, the intel about this relic was provided by you, Vivian."

"Then I really wouldn’t have any way to force you, would I?"

Vivian’s expression didn’t change as she spoke in a slightly pitiful tone:

"After all, it was Sir Lis yourself who went to the relic!"

"What is in that relic, we’re not sure either."

"Whatever you tell us, that’s what we will accept."

"So easy to talk to?"

Edward smiled slightly while staring at Vivian.

"But of course."

Vivian nodded affirmatively.

"Although not many are aware of Timothy’s relic’s intel, there are still quite a few in Desolate Flame Capital who know."

"For example, Rodrick, as one of the Balrog Flame Demon leaders, also knows. However, as a subordinate of the current Abyss Lord, he won’t tell you."

"And as for Timothy’s relic, we’re actually not very interested."

Noticing Lis’s suspicion, Vivian smiled and said:

"After all, the most precious artifact that may exist in that relic is the Abyssal Authority of the 106th layer that Timothy once controlled."

"Timothy didn’t perish in battle with other Abyss Lords; there’s a high chance he left behind the Abyssal Authority."

"However, since Lord Dominic has become the Abyss Lord of the 106th layer, it means the relic doesn’t contain the Abyssal Authority."

"So, even if Timothy left other treasures there, they’re not of much significance to us."

"After all, most of the things Timothy could have left are likely related to vampire artifacts."

"If that’s the case, then why disclose this information to me?"

Listening quietly, Lis then asked Vivian.

"It may not mean much to us, but... it’s of great significance to Lord Edward, you see~"

Vivian chuckled softly and said:

"I merely relayed the information to you without much cost."

"If you could gain any benefits from it, that would be something we hope to see too."

"I trust that through this incident, Lord Edward, you should be able to trust in our sincerity, right?"

"Then, why are you doing this?"
