Chapter 14:
Murphy now really wanted to go back to Kadman City and discuss escaping with Tris.
Unfortunately, he had already been conscripted by Femis Cecilia Lessenbra, and without orders from the huntress commander, he, as a messenger, could only remain here.
He was well aware that the other party had conscripted him and his two servants not because she saw potential or brilliance in him, but purely as cannon fodder for another mission.
But Murphy could not refuse, for the young lady’s father was the Patriarch after all.
Salrokdar Collins Lessenbra, the Patriarch of the Blood Vulture Clan, one of the most ancient vampire nobles.
It is said that he has lived since the ancient era of the “Holy Blood Procession” when vampires first appeared and spread across the continent, which was a thousand years ago at the beginning of the current era!
Over this millennium, the Blood Vulture Clan developed from a small force to its peak and then declined to its current state, but its authority has never wavered, firmly grasped in Salrokdar’s hands.
That guy is the Midnight King of the entire Transia region, and even in the entire power structure of the Portia Federation or the whole continent, the Blood Vulture Patriarch is among the top echelon.
Murphy obviously could not defy such a figure, even if the one before him was only Salrokdar’s daughter.
