285 A blood contract
Link sized up Simon with interest, a smirk on his face.
Simon was a little familiar with this kind of smirk. Men and women who entered the hotel hand in hand at night usually had this kind of unpredictable smile on their faces, which sent chills down one’s spine.
“So, you’ve seen everything in the backyard, right?”
Simon felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He first nodded, but then shook his head violently.”no, i didn’t see anything. i don’t know anything, yingluo.”
as expected, the situation in the backyard of qilin hall was link’s trump card and secret.
Now that all his secrets had been seen, Simon knew that if he admitted to it, he would be killed to keep his mouth shut.
you’ve lived for seventy years. Do you think I’ll believe your one-sided story? ” Link chuckled. The Viscount in front of him had really forgotten about the elegance of the blood clan.
Simon’s brain was as white as a sheet. Even under the dark red light, his pale face looked even more bloodless.
“Did you tell anyone about you following the gargoyles out?”
Simon shook his head mechanically. gargoyles are magical creatures that even a Prince might not have. Why would I tell others about such a good thing? ”
It was as if a ton of weight had been placed on Simon’s shoulders. His straight back was now completely deflated, and he almost knelt down in front of link.
Simon knew that he had no chance of living, so he simply stopped struggling.
he was a viscount of an opposing force. if he could be killed and his head was sent back, it would definitely affect the morale of the secret alliance. On top of that, she had seen through Link’s Secret trump card. If it were her, she would also kill him without hesitation.
Link noticed the change in Simon’s mood. He had still held on to a glimmer of hope before, but after he pointed out the secret he had seen, Simon quickly calmed down and realized that he was dead for sure. He decided not to struggle.
“You still want to live?”
If it had been a minute ago, Simon would have knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, but now he knew what he was doing. As the backbone of the enemy faction, how could he survive after seeing the other party’s trump card? He was only asking this to humiliate her again.
Hmph! Simon snorted and asked, ” I’ve seen all of your cards. If you let me go, the secret alliance will know how to deal with you. In this situation, you still asked me if I wanted to live. I think it’s unnecessary. if you want to humiliate a vampire, then i have to say it. you’re going to be disappointed.”
Link took a deep breath and stood up from his chair. He looked down at Simon and said,”That’s right, you’re from the secret alliance. Letting you go is like letting a Tiger return to the mountain. I, link, have never taken a wrong step to become a Hall leader from a slave! i won’t make the wrong move today.”
Whoosh!
Link waved his wrist, and the arrow flew back into his sleeve.
“As long as you’re willing to sign a blood contract, I’ll let you live.”
Simon’s mouth was wide open as he stared at link in shock.
Under the dim red light, Link’s face could only be seen as a black shadow.
this black figure was tall, mysterious, omniscient, and had a suffocating pressure.
Link even knew about the blood contract. It seemed that there were no secrets in the blood clan to him.
A blood contract was the strongest type of contract in the blood clan, apart from the initial bloodline.
Both parties had to hold the contract tightly and use the vampire’s Secret technique to activate the contract.
Once the contract was completed, it would have an unbreakable effect. If the contractor violated the contract, they would trigger the bloodline curse and die from boiling blood.
The hierarchy of the blood race was strict and could not be crossed.
However, the blood contract was more effective than the bloodline, and it would take effect immediately if violated.
choose death or embrace a new life. It’s all in your hands. Link’s words were like magic, with a strong bewitching effect.
His mood went from a glimmer of hope to being destroyed, and then to being reignited with hope.
Simon’s mood was like a roller coaster, up and down, without any chance to catch his breath.
“What’s the content of a blood contract?” Simon asked with a wary expression.
If the content was an impossible mission like assassinating Count Dracula or subverting the secret alliance, Simon would rather die.
“Pledge your loyalty to me.”
The short three words were like a sledgehammer that struck Simon’s heart.
If she chose to be loyal to link, she could live on. However, from now on, he would be completely separated from the secret alliance and would be regarded as a traitor by the vampires.
Link had already given Simon his choice. It was all up to Simon to decide which path he would take.
Should he continue to live, or should he choose to sacrifice himself for the family?
A moment later, Simon extended his hand and stopped in front of link.
He made his choice.
link also reached out and shook simon’s hand.
“Cain’s Blood, Viscount Simon. I hereby make a blood contract and pledge my loyalty to link. If I violate it, I will be punished by the heavens.”
Simon, with the glorious Cain bloodline, I, link, swear an oath to you and accept your allegiance.
A dark blood vessel appeared on each of their hands, connecting them together.
The blood contract was formed!
At the same time, link received a system notification.
[ Simon LV15 +(elite) swears allegiance to you ]
[ Simon becomes your servant ]
Simon was still in shock. During the blood contract, link had used the blood clan’s Secret language to form the contract without any guidance. The secret language was one of the ancient languages of the blood clan. Many ancient documents, contracts, and profound blood clan skills were written in secret language. Only the true core members and the old elders of the blood clan could understand the secret language.
Simon couldn’t sense any blood clan aura from link, but he knew the core secrets of the blood clan.
Other than shock, Simon was still shocked.
he recalled that count dracula had wanted to defeat link and destroy qilin hall’s industries during the meeting. now, it seemed like all that had been a joke and a pipe dream.
In Simon’s eyes, the mysterious blood clan had no secrets in Link’s eyes.
“Master.”
Simon stuck one hand to his trouser leg and sleeve while the other hand rested on his heart. He bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle.
this was the most honorable benefit of the blood clan, and it represented complete submission.
since you’ve already surrendered, I’ll give you a mission now-return to the hidden Alliance and pretend that nothing has happened.
Upon hearing this order, Simon’s first reaction was to refuse, but then his heart felt as if it was being squeezed by something invisible, and he found it difficult to breathe.
The effects of the blood contract had already begun.
Simon pressed his heart with one hand and asked with difficulty, ” “If you want me to go back, isn’t that just sending me to my death?”
you’ll be more useful if you stay in the hidden Alliance, and you don’t have to worry about your safety. I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up.
huh? ” Simon was stunned. master actually planted someone in the hidden Alliance? ”
Link chuckled and kept her in suspense.”you’ll know when the time comes. he’ll take the initiative to find you.”
at this moment, in simon’s eyes.
link was already a powerful existence.
it was simply unbelievable to be able to plant someone in the secret alliance.
