Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 148: Princess Astraea Carmine Dravenhart

[After those thirty minutes have passed, you notice that Princess Astraea hasn’t left the hall yet.]

[Contrary to your expectations, she was still waiting patiently, sitting on her throne situated at the back of the hall. Her gaze occasionally lingered on the summoning magic circle, seemingly waiting for Jade, Scarlet, and you to return.]

[’It seems she didn’t believe that we have abandoned her. She’s certain that her summoning magic had worked just fine, so she didn’t leave the hall yet and waited.’]

[’Well, for a Vampire Royal like her who had lived for 679 years, it’s no wonder she’s patient. Thirty minutes is merely a blink of an eye for her.’]

[Even the Crimson Eye you encountered in the Rule Horror Maze didn’t live as long as Astraea Carmine Dravenhart.]

[Despite that, the Crimson Eye was still stronger than her due to the difference in their existence and power rank. The Crimson Eye was a rule horror, and its physiology wasn’t the same as living beings like humans and vampires.]

[Naturally, the Crimson Eye’s advancement rituals to increase its power were based on meeting certain requirements that, if met, would allow it to smoothly increase its power rank.]

[In comparison, living beings like vampires either had to increase their bloodline rank first or increase their power rank purely by the power system they used.]

[In this case, Astraea could only increase her power rank by increasing her mana quantity and quality, as well as by wielding and mastering stronger magic spells.]

[Despite that, she knew that the shortcut to that was by achieving a higher bloodline rank. If she became a Pureblood Vampire, her power rank would skyrocket since the evolutionary paths of vampires and humans weren’t the same.]

[Because of that, Astraea decided to gamble her life for this millennium’s vampire war just to attain the Bloody Grail.]

[’Joining the Millennium Vampire War will undoubtedly be like signing a life and death contract. Everyone who participates in it will die except for the champion.’]

[’Astraea joined the war with her life on the line. If she loses this wager, she’ll undoubtedly die. But if she wins, she’ll become one of the strongest existences in the Millennium Vampire World.’]

[Thinking of this, you respected Astraea’s decision.]

[Since the early departure feature was now available, you didn’t want her to wait too long, so you used your Train Conductor Authority to leave the void.]

[Jade and Scarlet followed you, leaving Old MacDonald to stay inside the train to guard it.]

[The Zenith Train was still parked by you inside the Void Parking Space for safety measures. You didn’t want your train to be destroyed due to an accident.]

[As soon as you and the other two left the void, Princess Astraea Carmine Dravenhart instantly sensed the three of your presences since you didn’t bother hiding it.]

[Perceiving your existence, she immediately discovered that you, Jade, and Scarlet were the familiars she summoned from another world.]

[The existence of Train Conductors wasn’t unknown to her or the vampires in the Millennium Vampire World. After all, Train Conductors were well-known world travelers who moved from world to world in vehicles called trains.]

[Moreover, most of the Train Conductors were from the human race. The human race has a lot of powerhouses, and even some of them are those Train Conductors. Because of that, those who are at Diamond rank and above naturally knew the existence of Train Conductors.]

[Unless they were living under a rock, it was impossible for those powerhouses not to know about Train Conductors.]

[Facing you, Jade, and Scarlet, Princess Astraea performed a curtsy and introduced herself, "I am Astraea Carmine Dravenhart, a Vampire Royal from the Dravenhart Clan and a princess from the Dravenhart royal family."]

[After introducing herself, Astraea explained, "I have summoned you all using summoning magic since I need your assistance. If our contract is finalized, the Train Conductors among you will become my familiars, at least until the Millennium Vampire War ends."]

["Did the World Will already explain to you all about the Millennium Vampire War and the Bloody Grail or not? If not, I’ll brief you all about it."]

[In response to Princess Astraea’s introduction, you introduced yourself and the others, "A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Princess Astraea. I’m Zayne Voss, the leader of the Zenith Train Crew and also its Train Conductor."]

["She is Jade Willows, both my lover and Train Conductor Duo, acting as the co-leader. On the other hand, the one wearing a red hood is Scarlet Vale, the Zenith Train Crew’s first crewmate."]

[Pointing at Jade and Scarlet, you introduced them in their stead. While Jade and you were both Train Conductors, it was already an unspoken fact that you were the leader of the Zenith Train Crew while Jade was the assistant leader.]

[After all, it was mostly you who handled matters that needed the intervention of a Train Conductor. Jade didn’t mind as well since for her, it didn’t matter who was the leader as long as it was you.]

[Anyway, after you and Jade confirmed your relationship as lovers, Jade already treated her belongings as yours, and your belongings as hers. So for her, the train leader role between you two didn’t matter since you both shared your assets, making it no different if you or she held the leader position.] 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

[After your introduction, you answered Astraea’s previous question, "Yes, the World Will has already explained to us about the Millennium Vampire War and Bloody Grail. It even gave us a main quest regarding it."]

[Hearing your answer, a resolute glint flashed in Princess Astraea’s eyes, decisively making her decision, "I request you and Jade to become my familiars. In return, I’ll add in the familiar contract that you will gain the wish-making right."]

["I only need the Bloody Grail. The wish-making right will be handed to you. Although I need the wish-making right, it’s not as important as the Bloody Grail is to me."]

["Becoming a Pureblood Vampire is more appealing to me than the wish-making right since the Progenitor’s granted wish isn’t without limits."]
