……

The two continued to move forward. When they were about a quarter of a mile away from entering the city, they ended their flying state. Vincent cancelled the flying magic cast on himself, and Lin Tianlang also cancelled the fusion state with the dragon crystal.

The architectural style of this city is so different from all the cities Lin Tianlang had seen before. It looks a bit eerie and cold. At first glance, it does not look like a city of a righteous race. There is not much bright atmosphere. It seems to be a place of the same faction as the Demon King's Palace.

However, considering what Principal Vincent said to me, including what was mentioned in the magic history class, that the vampires themselves were not a member of the upright race hundreds of years ago, it is not surprising that Twilight City has such an architectural style. In fact, in the long history of the magic world, the vampires have actually played the role of evil and cruelty for most of the time. Because the early vampires were bloodthirsty, they needed to rely on sucking human blood with spiritual essence to survive, and the blood of animals without spiritual intelligence could not meet their survival needs.

It was in the following days that they slowly evolved and developed the ability to survive on the blood of beasts. However, this was not without negative effects. The modern vampires who relied on sucking the blood of beasts were definitely not as strong as the original vampires who sucked human blood. The original vampires who relied on sucking human blood were a very powerful and perfect race. They had the power to rival the dragons, the agility and speed to rival the elves, and even without using magic, they were born with blood magic that could rival the gods. It was estimated that only the forging talent of the dwarves was not integrated.

It is precisely because of such comprehensive abilities that the vampires played the role of villains hundreds and thousands of years ago. Because they have the ability and strength to challenge all other races. And a long time ago, there was a special profession in the magic world, the demon hunter, that is, a hunter who specializes in hunting vampires. It is much more difficult to become a demon hunter than to become a knight.

However, with the vampires' surrender, this race has changed a lot from being a public enemy to becoming one of the six major races in the magic world. The profession of demon hunter has naturally disappeared in the long river of time. After all, the vampires have surrendered, and you still hunt them down, that's not a heroic act, that's called murder.

The current vampires can survive by sucking the blood of beasts. But the price is that the power of the modern vampires is much weaker than their ancestors who sucked human blood. They are stronger than other races, but weaker than dragons; they are faster and more agile than other races, but weaker than elves; although blood magic is effective, the magic effect is not as good as the magic of the same level created by the gods.

Although the current blood race still has the attribute panel of a hexagonal warrior, each attribute is shorter than before. This is the current situation of the modern blood race. In other words, Qiuyue, who can survive by sucking the blood of Lin Tianlang, is actually returning to her original nature to some extent. Her strength is stronger than that of other blood races now.

……

"Hiss... Why does the wind feel a little chilly?" When they arrived at the foot of Twilight City, a gust of evil wind blew past, causing Lin Tianlang to shiver violently.

The high walls of Twilight City looked particularly majestic under the dim sky, blending in with the surrounding darkness. Lin Tianlang and Vincent came to the entrance of the city and could clearly feel an atmosphere that was completely different from other places. Looking through the doorway of the city gate, they could see that the people inside were in a hurry, but on their faces, they revealed an elegant and noble indifference.

"Is this the city of the vampires?" Lin Tianlang looked around, curious about the architectural style here. Most of these buildings are in Gothic style, with towering towers and exquisite carvings that make people marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship.

"Yes, Twilight City is the gathering place of the vampires. They have lived here for hundreds of years, isolated from the outside world, which has allowed them to maintain a unique culture and customs," Vincent explained.

"Since the vampires submitted to our upright race, some of them chose to move to places like Saint Lent City and the Holy City to live together with residents of other races, get married, and have children. These are the more open-minded vampires, but there are also quite a few vampires whose thoughts are still relatively conservative and prefer to live in the previous environment."

Looking at the tall city gate, Vincent said slowly.

"Twilight City is a very special city. They are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic. Now, they should be independent of the Ministry of Magic. As far as I know, this city has no king. Instead, it is managed by the Modla family. This family has a very long history, at least several thousand years, and is a very ancient family. So ancient that it may have existed before the birth of the Demon Lord."

"Wow... that sounds amazing."

Lin Tianlang couldn't help swallowing, and then followed Vincent's pace.

The two walked slowly towards the city gate. The blood clan soldiers guarding the city gate were tall and stern. When Lin Tianlang and Vincent approached, they stood at attention quickly, showing a professional vigilance, exuding a vigilant but hostile aura. It might be because they saw that Vincent and Lin Tianlang were both foreigners.

"Who is coming?" A senior guard stepped forward, looked at Lin Tianlang and Vincent cautiously, and said slowly.

"We are from Saint Lun School of Magic. We are here to visit the ruler of your city to discuss important matters." Vincent answered politely, showing his identity badge: "My name is Gary Vincent. You may have heard of my name."

Sure enough, after hearing Vincent's name, the guard hesitated slightly, obviously a little surprised about Vincent's identity.

"Master Vincent? I've heard of you. So who is this..."

"This young man is called Lin Tianlang, and he is a student accompanying me." Vincent replied.

"Well... okay. You said that the purpose of your coming to Twilight City is to meet our ruler? This is not a problem in itself, but because our city has rules, any outsiders must report before entering. So please wait a moment."

After that, the senior guard said something to his other companion and then left. To be honest, Lin Tianlang has always admired Vincent for one thing. Although the principal is a gold-level magician and a well-known person in the entire magic world, he can still remain polite and humble. This kind of calm and stable mentality is very worthy of Lin Tianlang's learning.

Soon after, the senior guard came back and led Lin Tianlang and Vincent into the city. After entering the Twilight City, Lin Tianlang was more certain of his first impression. This is a very cold city. Unlike the simple, gentle, warm and lively scene when he first arrived at the Mechanical City, the Twilight City can be summarized in two words: "cold" and "quiet". There was no noise on the street, and very few people were talking. For example, when buying things, customers in the store quietly selected the products they liked, and the salesperson just quietly watched the customers. If the customers did not have questions, they would never say a word.

Finally, after passing through several dark streets, the two arrived in front of a majestic palace. Then, they were taken over by another guard and led into the palace. The interior of the palace was gorgeously decorated and exuded an ancient solemnity, and the color tone was still cold.

In a large reception room, the Lord of Twilight City was waiting for them. He was a handsome but cold man, wearing a black robe, sitting quietly on the main seat.

"Welcome to Twilight City." The lord nodded slightly, his voice as low and soft as a shadow: "I received a report from my subordinates that there are guests visiting. I am King Modra XVI, and I welcome you. But I wonder what brings you to my Twilight City?"

Because time was running out, there was no time for arguing. Vincent just took a step forward and got straight to the point: "We are here to find two holy artifacts that are sealed in your place."

He probably didn't expect the other party to be so direct. After hearing the word "holy weapon", Lord Modla XVI's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he calmly replied: "Regarding the holy weapon you are talking about, is it the blood-colored holy crystal? But you know that our Twilight City has always had limited exchanges with the outside world, and cooperation has always been cautious. I wonder what you want to do by looking for the holy weapon?"

"The Demon Lord has broken the seal, and it has been a while. I wonder if Your Lordship has heard about it. Today, the expansion of the demons has threatened the safety of the entire magic world. And we need the help of the holy weapon, which is one of the key props to defeat the demons." Lin Tianlang said.

"The Demon Lord has broken the seal? Sorry, I have never heard of this. Our Twilight City is relatively closed, and the news is relatively closed, so we know very little about the outside world." Modra XVI frowned slightly and said slowly. However, from his expression, it can be seen that Lin Tianlang and Vincent's words still have some weight. In other words, the word "Demon Lord" still has some weight.

"Your Excellency, time is running out. In fact, we came to your place at the risk of being hunted by the demons." Vincent said slowly, "The Demon King has been eyeing us for a long time. So please forgive us for being so blunt. However, we really need your help."
