Chapter 31 Vampire Hunter

After Ike and Anna left the room, Klopp was silent for a moment and turned his head to look at me.
"These things, I think you have the right to know. A great war may break out between the humans and the Bloods, but I will definitely protect you."
Klopp said with a somewhat serious expression.
"I understand that even though I am human, it is not for me alone to do anything about the conflict between the two races."
I sighed, although all I wanted was to live peacefully as a human, in a world without vampires, and without slaves
A world affiliated with traffickers, much less captivity and abuse.
But until now, I don't even know why vampires enter the human world and treat humans this way.
"How long do we have to stay here?"
I looked to Klopp and asked.
"I don't know, but that leaf of yours turned me from a non-blood-sucking vampire to a real vampire."
Klopp said as he rubbed his forehead.
"Vampires don't suck blood? There's still such a blood race?"
I was puzzled, all the vampires I knew were desperate for human blood and had never seen a vampire that didn't suck blood.
This is simply not logical.
"Yes, my race does not suck blood, drinking only simulated blood that is very close to fresh blood, it tastes almost the same as fresh blood, and the first time I bit you, it was only to trick Duke Taz."
Klopp replied.
After that, I was the one who volunteered to let him draw blood.
"If there was simulated blood at that time, I did not need to suck your blood, but this matter, I do not want others to know, so, chose to bite you."
Klopp's tone was apologetic.
"It was the leaf that really turned you into a vampire for good, wasn't it?"
I had already guessed what Klopp was trying to tell me.
"That's right, the leaves of the blood tree, like its rhizome, absorbs a lot of blood and converts it into life force, the leaves don't lose the life force it has gained even if they wither, without it, I would still be lying down."
Klopp replied with a nod.
Mrs. Olaton also told me about the kind of tree that can only grow if it is watered with blood.
So it changed Klopp and made him a real vampire.
"Are all your people like you?"
I asked again.
If all Bloods were like them, not drinking real blood, humans and Bloods, might be able to coexist peacefully.
"Every race has people with different positions, we can't stand our ground to judge each other as bad people, but with different positions, the solutions to things are different, and so are my people."
Klopp replied with a smile.
He was sort of telling me that there were bloodsuckers among his people, just like the other Bloods.
I didn't press Klopp on the reason for leaving his people, but I'm sure he wouldn't lie to me.
"Well, it's time for you to rest, Ike and I will go out tomorrow and Anna will take care of you."
Klopp rubbed my head and smiled as he lay beside me like he did at the manor.
I lifted my hand to look at the bracelet, and the scene of it killing those low-level vampires still came to mind.
And Klopp killing the vampire viscount right before my eyes.
Whenever they come to my mind, it is extremely shocking.
That was the first time I saw Klopp really angry.
I glanced sideways at Klopp and realized that he was not asleep, but was watching me with his eyes open.
The moment of eye contact, Klopp smiled at me.
"Are you wondering why the bracelet reacted so much?"
Klopp can still read my mind.
"It looks like just sapphire, but..."
In some cases, it turns red.
"That's because it has half of my life energy and its power is affected by the strength of my power."
Klopp replied gently.
This is his homologue?
Only vampire congeners can be used to store life energy, and he gave this to me?
His human pet?
"Mr...."
"I'm not a count anymore, you can call me, Klopp."
Klopp said, interrupting me.
I had gotten used to calling him sir, but calling him by his first name made me feel more intimate.
"So this bracelet is your homologue?"
I looked to him and asked.
"Yes, and after gifting it to you, you are also protected by it, so when those low-level vampires attack you, it will fight back, but it will never hurt you."
Klopp said.
"Where are you going with Ike tomorrow?"
I asked.
"We're going to the vampire hunters, which will get us some gold, and without the earldom, we're on our own, and Mrs. Olaton has done us a great favor in this matter."
Klopp doesn't look the least bit nervous.
Vampire hunters, I heard my father talk about it.
That is a neutral organization between humans and vampires, they only charge a commission, then the vampire hunters or human hunters to carry out the task, after the task is completed, the hunters can get the commission.
But the rule is that vampires can choose whether to hunt humans or vampires, and humans can only hunt humans.
Because in terms of racial talent, humans are inferior to vampires.
The more difficult the task, the higher the commission will be, and likewise, the greater the danger.
"Is it going to be dangerous?"
I don't want Klopp to get hurt.
"Although I'm no longer a vampire count, the title has nothing to do with my strength. Don't worry, I won't get hurt and I won't take on a mission that I can't complete for a commission."
Klopp seemed to be laughing at me for worrying too much.
But his answer does put my mind at ease a lot.
It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.
When I woke up, Klopp had already left, and at the end of my bed, there was the breakfast he had prepared.
I was eating my breakfast when Anna walked into the room.
"Good morning, dear Jenny."
Anna greeted me with a smile.
"How long have they been gone?"
I asked as I ate my bread.
"They've been gone since before dawn. I heard from Ike that this time their target was a human bad guy. He had his men capture a human noble's daughter and brutally murdered her, and I heard the guy doesn't seem to be afraid of vampires."
Anna said with a frown as she sat next to me.
"He's not afraid of vampires?"
I asked, "Are there humans who are not afraid of vampires?
"I heard that guy has a charm that can keep vampires at bay, and Ike said that the hunters he sent out before didn't come back alive, so that nobleman raised the commission to a million gold coins, but only the gentleman took it."
Anna's answer disturbed me, but I didn't know how I could help Klopp.
"They will come back safely."
I looked at Anna and said firmly.
But late into the night, Klopp and Ike still hadn't returned.
