Drawing Cards in the Middle Ages to Rise in Ranks

Chapter 160: Public Trial and the New Retainer (Part 3)


Talent: Blood Demon Disintegration: Kurs was once a lower-ranking Vampire, and the "Bloodfall" Magic was constant within him. After he was promoted to a higher-level Blood Race, this Magic evolved into the more advanced "Blood Demon Disintegration." The effect is: during the next attack, increase one's attack power to 300%.

Blood Shadow: Kurs, who almost never uses any Blood Magic, has made a renowned name for himself by mastering the use of "Blood Shadow" Magic to perfection.

Skills: Thirst for Blood: Kurs can absorb any blood rich in Life Power to replenish the Physical Strength and Spiritual Power he has consumed.

Blood Pool Transformation: (Requires Elite Level 1 to unlock)

Blood Clone: (Requires Elite Level 2 to unlock)

Bond Effect: Blood Royal Court. (For every higher-level Vampire you own from the Blood Royal Court, their overall attribute values will increase by one.)

Kurs's skill template shows many similarities with Furinjira.

Probably because they both come from the Cepesh family line.

At this moment.

A hint of panic suddenly appeared on Kurs's face.

Downstairs, Jeanne's footsteps were heard.

Losa, worried that he might act too aggressively, quickly warned, "Don't be agitated, she's one of us. Jeanne and Furinjira are very good friends."

"Tch, who's her friend?"

Furinjira snorted softly, but still reassured, "However, Kurs, there's really no need for you to be nervous. Jeanne is a traitor within the Holy Church. You'll find that her ways are nothing like those old-fashioned clergy."

"Hmm—I smell a very strong evil blood aura."

Jeanne raised her head somewhat cautiously and pointed at Kurs, "Is he one of us?"

Losa nodded and said, "That's right, he's from the same clan as Furinjira."

"Oh."

Jeanne's tensed body immediately relaxed, and she didn't even go upstairs but stayed below, waving her hand, "Hey, newcomer, nice to meet you."

Then she plopped down into a chair padded with velvet cushions and took out a bottle of wine from the storage cabinet.

Lifted it, gulp, gulp, gulp—

Kurs's expression was tense, his face, which seemed incapable of excessive expression, appeared somewhat stiff.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Knight...Knight of Radiance?"

"Correct."

Furinjira quickly added, "Don't think about avenging my brother; that guy got what he deserved. Now Jeanne is one of us, your highest allegiance is to Lord Losa, and not to the Ancestor anymore."

Kurs took a deep breath, and it took him a while to digest the explosive information that he will be working alongside a Knight of Radiance.

He opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, you overestimate me. I am not qualified to assassinate a Knight of Radiance."

Having said that, he bowed to Losa and expressed his respect, "My lord, rest assured, I swear in the name of the Blood Ancestor that from now on, my allegiance lies solely with you."

Losa smiled and said, "I accept your allegiance, Kurs. You made a valid point, this castle, including the estate and the industries under my name, are too disorderly in terms of management. We urgently need a professional to help manage it all. Would you be willing to take on this task?"

Kurs immediately replied, "I am willing, my lord. Rest assured, I will compile all the accounts in the shortest time possible."

He paused and then asked, "May I know how much budget my lord wishes to allocate for refurbishing the castle, hiring servants, and purchasing new furniture?"

Losa pondered for a while.

Although confiscating had earned a substantial amount of money, he was still thinking about establishing a Merchant Fleet to open an Eastern route.

Transporting Jerusalem's products to Western Europe would fetch a significant profit in return, much like a hen that lays golden eggs.

Of course, there are risks involved.

For instance, being captured in one fell swoop by North African pirates.

However, Losa felt that if he negotiated with the Witch Anna and reached a cooperative agreement, his fleet's safety could be assured.

Furthermore, collaboration with the Hospital Knight Order could also be put on the agenda. Their fleet is not much inferior to that of the Eastern Empire.

Thus, Losa said, "Kurs, indulgence is not my primary goal right now, so the less, the better."

Kurs was slightly taken aback but nodded nonetheless, "Understood, my lord."

Managing to do the best with minimal budget is his expertise after all.
