Chapter 142 Xiaodu
Chapter 142 Xiaodu (42 extra chapters for the book friend "I really don't know what to call it")
The previous vampire king was the first to propose "peaceful coexistence with humans".
Because he fell in love with a human girl and later gave birth to a mixed-race child with that human - Du.
But the human girl died after giving birth to Xiaodu.
Having lost his spiritual support, he saw that the peace between vampires and humans was only superficial, so the Vampire King, who had lost all desire to live, simply abandoned the throne and left for ten years, leaving the followers in the Dranlong Castle to diligently take care of Xiaodu.
Since Xiaodu, who has royal blood, can transform into Kiva, he should also inherit the throne.
However, Xiaodu, who is half vampire, finds it difficult to control his instincts and will lose control and attack "people he likes" to absorb their life energy.
Therefore, Xiaodu believes that he is not qualified to be a king, and cannot lead the vampires to coexist peacefully with humans.
So at this time...
The previous vampire king, who had been away for ten years, returned gloomily. In order to force Xiaodu to take responsibility, he immediately became a villain, attacked humans to create chaos, and beat his son to take the throne!
Before Kawahara arrived at the castle, his son had just been beaten away and his transformation belt had been stolen.
Now I can be said to be wandering alone.
"So the most important thing now is to get Xiaodu, who you drove away, back - is that child crying now?" Kawahara said, stroking his chin.
"..."
The Vampire King didn't know what to say after his crimes were counted.
After all, Xiaodu still has to inherit the throne, so if the new policy is implemented by Xiaodu, it will be able to better consolidate his position.
"Let's go out and look for it."
Kawahara, who had rested enough, stood up and said, "If we can find him sooner, we can send you off sooner."
The Vampire King: "..."
……
There were four followers guarding outside the throne hall of the castle. When Kawahara pushed the door and walked out, the four of them stared at him with a covetous look in their eyes until the Vampire King gave the order to go and find Xiaodu.
Hmm? Get back the little prince who just became an ex?
The four were a little surprised, but the followers were still glad that the previous Vampire King no longer insisted on going to war with humans.
After all, peace is hard to come by nowadays. Except for some vampires who find it difficult to suppress their nature, most demons who have integrated into human society don’t really want to go to war.
*
After Kawahara left the Dranlong Castle, he looked at the busy streets and suddenly remembered his Ultimate Tracker.
No wonder I always felt like something was missing when I was walking all the way from the end of the road just now.
It turns out there is no means of transportation!
So where should I find Xiaodu now?
Kawahara looked up at the tall Dranlong Castle.
Delanlong, who was in a daze, felt the malicious gaze and woke up with a start, and Kawahara had already raised his hand and pressed it on the city wall.
De Lanlong's thoughts are easy to read.
Because this giant dragon that was transformed into the Vampire Castle has no particular activity track. It usually stands here in the wind and rain, watching the hustle and bustle of the world and the changing times.
Kawahara obtained his most recent thoughts and saw the small ferry leaving the castle and heading towards the river not far away.
It turns out it was wandering around here.
But if you think about it carefully, a ten-year-old child alone wouldn't be able to go far, even if that child is the heir to the throne with monster blood.
At most he won't be bullied.
Just as Kawahara was about to withdraw his hand, he noticed a figure riding an Experimental Tracker rushing over.
——Hmm? Onodera Yusuke?!
……
……
After all, Yusuke Onodera is a member of the royal guard.
As the first one to come into this world, he understood that Xiaodu had always been uneasy, so he had always been very concerned about the child's situation.
When Xiaodu was beaten, his followers chose to stand by and watch because they knew the identity of Beetle Vampire (the King of Vampires).
Only Yusuke Onodera rushed over to help after learning that Xiaodu was being attacked. Then he was also beaten.
Xiaodu didn't want to be a king in the first place, and now that his throne was taken away from him, he didn't plan to resist and just ran away from home.
Compared to the Vampire King's rough education, although Yusuke Onodera also believed that Kotobuki must inherit the throne, he gave Kotobuki encouragement and affirmation.
"Xiao Du, I will take you back to the castle and help you get Kivat back!" Onodera Yusuke said seriously.
"I won't go back!"
However, Xiaodu reacted strongly: "Didn't you say before that you were willing to take me anywhere? Then anywhere except the castle is fine! Take me there now!"
Onodera Yusuke looked at him quietly: "But is this really okay? That monster just now... no matter if it's a human or a vampire, I will kill it. Do you really agree with such a king?"
Xiaodu was speechless. If a king like that took control of the world, it would only bring war. He certainly understood this.
But he really had no way of inheriting the throne.
The burden of this responsibility is really too heavy.
"Why do you want to help me? I'm no longer a prince, and there's no need for you to follow me anymore." Xiaodu looked at him blankly.
"I'm not helping you just because you're a prince."
Onodera Yusuke said softly: "I know it's hard to fight alone, and you need friends, so I want to help you."
Just like what happened in his own world not long ago, someone helped him when he was in desperate situation.
So Yusuke Onodera, who came to this world accidentally, also wanted to help those in this world who needed him.
Xiao Du lowered his head and stopped talking, as if he had heard something. Onodera Yusuke raised his hand and gently touched his head and continued: "I'll take you back--"
Before he could finish his words, Xiaodu, who had been quiet just now, suddenly pushed him away forcefully.
"Don't, don't touch me!"
"Eh? Xiaodu?"
Onodera Yusuke was stunned as he staggered back.
Xiaodu looked up at him, and colorful lines climbed up both sides of his cheeks, as strange as the stained glass in a church.
His voice also became gloomy at this moment.
"I can't bear it anymore..."
As his voice fell, two golden "fangs of light" appeared out of thin air and instantly stabbed towards Yusuke Onodera!
But in the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Yusuke Onodera, and when he reached out to push him away, the Fang of Light fell on his neck.
呲——
Kawahara's body trembled slightly.
He felt a familiar feeling of being sucked by golems, but the golems sucked the energy from spirit stones, while the vampires sucked directly the life energy of living things.
Kawahara, who was staggering, steadied himself, turned around and slapped Xiaodu, who fell to the ground.
The fangs of light that had pierced his body dissipated immediately.
"Aguru-senpai?!...Wait, Xiaodu!"
The dazed Onodera Yusuke subconsciously reached out to catch the staggering Kawahara, but the latter stood on his own. Then he turned around and saw that Xiao Du had also fallen down. He was so panicked that he didn't know who to take care of.
Kawahara then looked at Kodatsu who had come to his senses.
If you like a human too much, you can't help but want to absorb the other person's life energy. It must be said that Xiaodu, a vampire, has a very yandere instinct...
So it means that Onodera Yusuke's heartfelt words just now really touched Xiaodu.
"Now that you have an idea, let's go back to the castle now." Kawahara said decisively.
"..."
Are you still continuing this topic now?
Yusuke Onodera looked at him who was almost unsteady on his feet, and then looked at Kodato who fell on his butt. They both looked almost in the same state of confusion.
