I Became the Progenitor Vampire-Chapter 164 - 165: Dark Contract Vice President - Emi
Chapter 164: Chapter 165: Dark Contract Vice President – Emi
“Lord Lide, we currently have an inventory of 4,000 magic scrolls, totaling 50,000 Gold Pucks,”
Lide was slightly taken aback upon hearing this figure.
He was not surprised by the number of magic scrolls in stock, but only 50,000 Gold Pucks?
“Why is it so little?”
Yes, little. Although 50,000 Gold Pucks were more than what the Bloodline had accumulated over two hundred years,
it was indeed not much compared to the powerful earning capacity of the Crimson Mage Tower, even pitifully little.
...
Vina said softly, “Expanding the Mage Tower cost us 80,000 Gold Pucks…”
Cough cough, Lide nearly choked.
What the hell, 80,000 Gold Pucks? The Dawn City he had been building for so long only took about 60,000 or 70,000.
“Lord Lide, the entire layout of the Crimson Mage Tower was decided by Lord Spark, and this money was spent by Lord Spark to purchase magic materials.
Lord Spark said he plans to build a powerful magic array in the Crimson Mage Tower, which, once activated, means we wouldn’t have to fear even a 15th level Great Mage…”
Spark? Upon hearing this, the corner of Lide’s mouth twitched slightly.
This disheveled drunkard of a teacher is truly reliable when he takes things seriously, but when he’s not, he’s more unreliable than anyone.
Spending so much Gold Puck on a magic array, is this to withstand an attack from a giant dragon?
“Is the magic array finished? How can it be activated?”
He was not familiar with magic arrays, and the Blood Clan Ancestor had no knowledge base in this area.
A magic array is a gigantic system, and without decades of study, it’s extremely difficult to master the essence.
Coincidentally, Spark was the mage in Green City who had delved the deepest into the study of magic arrays; in the Mage Guild of Green City, wanting to hire a mage from the White Tower to arrange a magic array would definitely cost the highest price.
But no matter how you look at it, this cost is exceedingly high.
Vina shook her head with a strange expression on her face.
“Lord Spark said that so far, only about one-tenth has been arranged…”
Lide almost spat out the water he had just drunk.
After spending a full 80,000 Gold Pucks, only one-tenth has been completed??
Even building an Extraordinary Mage Tower wouldn’t cost 800,000 Gold Pucks!!
What in the world does this old man want to do?
“Never mind, I’ll ask him myself later.”
Lide waved his hands, feeling a headache coming on—it was difficult to complain when accepting favors. The magic scroll, this money-making tool, was given to him by Spark, and moreover, the money was spent on his own Mage Tower, making the situation rather frustrating.
However, he did not blame Vina; Spark was his teacher, and in Glory, a teacher held the same status as a father.
Moreover, whenever Lide was away, it was Spark who protected the Crimson Mage Tower. Unless Lide had personally given instructions, Vina would not dare to go against Spark’s decisions.
“The rest of the expenditures are partly the daily costs of running the Crimson Mage Tower, and partly the purchase of land and construction of houses”
Because of numerous minor details, Vina did not give a complete account.
Lide nodded, the current development situation of the Crimson Mage Tower now clear to him.
It could be said that the profitability had increased countless folds, and the development potential was tremendous, especially with the presence of a Magic Factory.
One factory could deplete the entire city’s supply of magic materials for making magic scrolls—its production capabilities were evidently formidable.
“Continue to improve your development plans, don’t worry too much about the rest,” he said, pausing momentarily with a flash of seriousness in his eyes.
“In the coming period, except for necessary acquisitions, all outings are prohibited.”

That chilling gaze prevented him from being completely at ease.
The more that evil presence lurked in the shadows, the more unnerving it became because he did not know when it would appear or whose target it would be.
“Yes, Lord Lide.”
“You all may leave now, except for Vina. Stay behind.”
…
Dawn City, the second floor of the Dawn Church, inside the room at the far left.
Emi watched as the bat in his hand fluttered its wings and flew out through the half-open window, vanishing from his sight.
At this moment, the Shadow High Priest, who could be described as the most powerful blasphemer in Dawn City, had a rather peculiar look on his face.
He was pinching two sealed letters in his hand.
One was from Lide, who had informed him about the hidden enemy lurking in the shadows and summoned him to Green City.
The other was a letter sent to him through Space Secret Skill by a mysterious entity.
Dark Contract.
The eyebrow of Emi twitched as he gazed at the black cover with its lifelike flame mark, scorched onto it.
Emi had joined the mysterious organization known as Dark Contract a very long time ago.
It was with the assistance of an enigmatic and powerful individual within Dark Contract that he became a Shadow Priest.
Later, with the help of Dark Contract, his status within the Knight Temple rose ever higher, step by step becoming the priest second only to the bishop.
In his time at the Knight Temple, he also brought considerable benefits to Dark Contract.
Thus, his ties with Dark Contract became all the more binding.
After reaching level 14, Emi ascended to the position of Vice President within Dark Contract.
There were a total of twelve Vice Presidents within Dark Contract, each one an exceedingly powerful being.
Emi even had a premonition that, even now, having broken through to level 15, he was still no match for those mysterious entities.
But that wasn’t the crucial point, the critical issue was that Viscount Born, the President of Dark Contract, had actually laid out Dark Contract’s plans directly in the letter he sent to him.
Crimson Mage Tower.
Dark Contract had determined that the Crimson Mage Tower very likely housed the legendary Divine Artifact—the Twelve Magic Scrolls.
They planned to mobilize all their power to obtain the Divine Artifact.
For this reason, of course, they could not fail to pass this information to him as a Vice President of Dark Contract.
Combining the two letters for a look, Emi immediately understood the reason Lide sensed someone was spying on the Crimson Mage Tower.
A strange expression appeared on his face. Was this tantamount to handing over all his own secrets to the enemy?
It was true that he was the Vice President of Dark Contract, but now, he was also a proud member of the Holy Light Bloodline, a Bloodline of Kachar, Ancestor Crown.
It was undeniable that even if Viscount Bernard and the others from Dark Contract racked their brains, they couldn’t imagine that Emi, who had joined Dark Contract for over twenty years and was one of its key members, had accidentally become a vampire.
And even more preposterously, their target of plunder—the Crimson Mage Tower established by a human mage—was actually the lair of the Vampire Ancestor.
And these two entirely unrelated and unlikely individuals were now connected by a baffling relationship.
Such a bizarre incident, if told to the evil creatures of Dark Contract, would not be believed by anyone.
Emi, at this moment, did not know whether to cry or laugh.
Although he had learned about the enemies Ancestor Crown was about to face, he could not feel the least bit happy.
Because Dark Contract was too powerful.
Even he was not sure if he fully understood the true extent of Dark Contract’s strength.
Abyss Demons, Undead Mages, Evil God Church, Underground Forces—these extreme entities of evil composed Dark Contract.
In Green City, the power of Dark Contract was so immense it was almost unassailable.
Just among the level 15 beings Emi knew of, there were no fewer than five within Dark Contract.
And the hidden forces lurking in the shadows were even more terrifying.
Especially the elegant President Viscount Born; in Emi’s memory, this President of Dark Contract had never once revealed his hand.
Yet in these twenty-plus years, no one had ever dared to question his authority, not even by a half measure.
An enemy so formidable that their true depth could not be fathomed.
Moreover, there were the other cruel and bloodthirsty creatures: Eight-Armed Snake Demons, Undead Mages…
Emi took a deep breath, looking out of the window at the cold moonlight, which shone like quicksilver, clear and bright.
“Ancestor Crown, the enemy we’re about to face this time will exceed even your imagination.”
