There’s Absolutely No Problem With The Magic Cards I Made!-Chapter 168: Mauleon Started Exploiting Vampires

If there was a creature that was skilled in mental control, skilled in disguising itself and, most of all, perhaps even an inborn talent or instinct, skilled in blood-sucking…

Then, that creature must be…. Countess Lysilina.

At this moment, on the second-floor corridor of the lord's manor, Countess Lysilina was momentarily puzzled as to why Marquess Roderick appeared here.

Although she briefly considered whether someone might be masquerading as Marquess Roderick to deceive her, she quickly began to dismiss this idea.

Humans weren’t long-lived beings. Even if humans could use portraits to record the appearance of Marquess Roderick from a hundred years ago, it would not be possible for someone in this world to disguise themselves so perfectly as Marquess Roderick.

Currently, judging from appearance and voice, the man who lifted half of the green mask was, without a doubt, the Marquess Roderick in her memory. Most importantly, he exuded the aura of an upper-class vampire.

It was not something that humans could possess!

Just as Countess Lysilina was tangled in her thoughts, Mauleon seemed displeased with her suspicion of his identity. He pulled out a piece of broken wood from his pocket and threw it to the ground.

This caused Countess Lysilina's pupils to contract sharply.

Even from a distance, she could see the fragment clearly!

It was a broken piece of the seal on the Marquess's coffin!

It was because of her contact with this coffin that the seal was broken!

She could not be mistaken!

There were only two possibilities for the coffin to be broken.

Either Marquess Roderick had successfully escaped or Marquess Roderick was already dead.

Ruling out the impossible, it meant that Marquess Roderick had successfully removed the seal!

"Did you break my seal? If not, I will not forgive the insolence that you, a lower-class vampire, had shown toward me." As Mauleon spoke, he raised his hand as if to strike down Countess Lysilina from afar.

Dekan looked at Countess Lysilina's terrified expression, then glanced at Mauleon, and couldn't help but laugh under his mask.

He wasn't entirely sure if Mauleon could really fool the vampire countess like this.

In order to deal with the possibility of encountering the countess in the town at any time, the three of them deliberately broke the seal on the coffin, where the magic had already expired after Marquess Roderick’s death, before leaving the church and let Mauleon touch the body of Marquess Roderick. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

With that, Mauleon perfectly mimicked the appearance of Marquess Roderick.

This way, even if they couldn't deceive the vampire countess in the end, they would likely still startle her.

In addition to Mauleon's powerful acting skills, the [Wealth Bringing Mask] was also an item that enhanced Mauleon's presence.

[Wealth Bringing Mask]

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Rarity: Purple Rare]

[Tier: 3]

[Effect: When equipped, this mask can block lower-tier detection skills without obstructing the wearer's vision or perception. The more local currency the wearer has, the stronger their presence will be.]

[Note: I’m sorry, but having money really does give you the power to do anything.]

This compensated for the limit of Mauleon's acting skills. It gave him the aura of a true powerhouse.

Of course, part of the reason Mauleon could really intimidate the vampire was probably due to Mauleon himself.

After all, to some extent, Mauleon could be considered part vampire.

"Marquess! I'm not your enemy, I'm the one who lifted your seal! I'm Lysilina! Do you not remember me from the last time we met when I was just a little girl?"

Feeling Mauleon's apparent intention to erase her, Countess Lysilina hastily shouted while gesturing continuously.

Upon hearing her words, Mauleon, who had already raised his hand, paused slightly in his movement.

He frowned as he observed Countess Lysilina's face, seemingly remembering something. Then, a hint of apology spread between his eyebrows. freewebnøvel.com

Slowly, he lowered his hand.

"Thank you for your help, I have successfully lifted the seal."

Mauleon was a seasoned actor, and he perfectly mimicked the tone of Marquess Roderick.

Although still imposing, his tone had softened considerably by now.

The atmosphere, which had been nearing a critical point, finally seemed to ease as if a misunderstanding had been resolved.

"They are my kin, I didn't expect you to have your eyes on the lord's manor as well," Mauleon pointed to Dekan and Cornelia, explaining to Countess Lysilina.

"Milord Marquess, I am willing to serve you!" Countess Lysilina seemed particularly admiring of Marquess Roderick, her attitude full of sincerity and willingness.

Moreover, Mauleon's approval and his sudden gentle demeanor seemed to make her lips curl up slightly. A hint of color returned to her pale cheeks that had been frightened just a moment ago.

"Do you need food?" she asked.

"I have already fed; that town has long become my sustenance. What I need now is self-healing. In the nearly hundred years I have been sealed, I have become unfamiliar with the current affairs of this world. Prioritize in sending me the latest information," Marquess Roderick ordered.

"Very well, is there anything else you require?" Lysilina inquired.

"There is. If I am not mistaken, there are quite a few people in this city-state who are investigating us," Marquess Roderick stated.

"How did you know?" Lysilina asked in surprise.

"Hmph, how could those foolish humans not have probed into the town? Fortunately, my two kin have always been lurking in the town, waiting for the opportunity to rescue me," Marquess Roderick explained.

"Kin?" Lysilina looked at Dekan and Cornelia with some confusion.

She could sense that these two were humans.

They were not vampire kin.

Nor were they immortal beings who had made contracts with the count.

According to the count, these two should have been his faithful kin from before he was sealed, patiently lurking in the town, waiting for the chance to rescue him.

It seemed a bit illogical.

Dekan seemed to sense Lysilina's confusion, so he cut off the broadcast and removed his mask, transforming directly into his semi-demonic form.

Upon seeing this golden-eyed demon, Lysilina instantly understood.

She had been mistaken; this was a special demon capable of perfectly disguising as a human!

Presumably, the other young woman was in a similar situation.

"Indeed, Milord Marquess!" Lysilina couldn't help but marvel again at the ability to have such powerful demon attendants.

"It's also thanks to you that they were able to complete the blood sacrifice to save me. After my unsealing, not only did we capture those few humans who were attempting to investigate us, we also successfully extracted a lot of information from them," Mauleon continued to explain.

Then, hidden contempt filled his tone.

"From the information we’ve extracted, there are a total of 9 people in the city-state who are trying to investigate the vampires! They came from an organization called the Resurgence Church, intending to cleanse the world of the remaining vampires! You need to help me find them all!"
