"No! How could this happen!!"
Dracula suddenly screamed, but he immediately realized that he might have scared Elena, so he immediately suppressed the shock and squeezed out gentle words again.
"I'm very sorry for what's happening to you, Elena. It's all my fault..."
"You know what's going on?!" Elena expected.
"It's because of the prophecy."
"prophecy?"
"Yes, it was your mother's prophecy." Dracula sighed: "When your mother took you away from the castle, she predicted: On the day of my daughter Elena's coming-of-age ceremony, she will accept The blessings of a hundred guests will unlock the most powerful vampire power. By then, the most powerful vampire will be born."
Elena was stunned. Her mother had done a lot for her daughter.
"However, the scary thing about the prophecy is that there must be no mistakes in its prerequisites. Since the prophecy says that you will receive the blessings of a hundred guests, then there must be no more or less. Once it is violated If the prophecy is a prerequisite, then the prophecy will turn into a disaster."
Dracula said, looking at Elena's "hand": "And now, obviously disaster is happening to you."
[Your San value -1]
"Then wouldn't it be nice to invite another guest to make up for it?" Elena asked.
"It's not that easy." Dracula shook his head, "The list of one hundred guests was already booked when your mother took you away. They are all guys who will sincerely send their blessings to you as an adult. And. What you want to get is the sincere blessings of exactly one hundred guests. If there is a lack of or extra sincere blessings, then the prophecy will also turn into a disaster."
Dracula let out a long sigh, then hugged Elena into his arms, stroking her long white hair dotingly.
"But don't worry, Elena. My father will definitely put an end to your disaster and try his best to find you the missing hundredth guest who can sincerely send you blessings. Although doing so will make your mother's The prophecy is weakened and cannot unlock the most powerful vampire power for you. But at least it complies with the prophecy and can end the disaster you are suffering at the moment."
With that said, Dracula let go of Elena, and said with great regret and distress: "Father, I'm sorry, I can only give you an imperfect adult ceremony. I hope you won't blame me."
"It's okay, Father."
Elena was very moved, but she was always vigilant. But under this tender scene, she remembered Aunt Mary's seventh piece of advice: Don't trust your father, he will kill you.
Elena frowned!
Who should I trust, my special wife?
Finally, Elena felt that she still couldn't completely give her hope to Dracula for the sake of her own life.
"So, can I invite guests to my coming-of-age ceremony?" Elena asked.
Dracula was startled, and then said happily: "Of course! Yes, yes! This is your coming-of-age ceremony, and you are more qualified than your mother and I to invite your friends to participate."
"If it is your invitation, then the vampire power you will gain by then will never diminish at all!"
"But remember!" Dracula suddenly said seriously: "You must be 100% sure that the person you invite will sincerely send you blessings, otherwise, your disaster will not end."
Elena nodded heavily: "I will definitely remember it."
"Very good, very good." Dracula's expression finally softened, "This way, if we act at the same time, we will have greater certainty."
But, where will Elena go to find the guest who can truly send her blessings?
At this time, her eyes suddenly turned to Nini.
Suddenly, she became happy.
How dare her blood contract not to sincerely send blessings to her?
"She can't."
Dracula seemed to see Elena's thoughts and directly denied it.
"Why?"
"Because she's not alone."
"What?" Elena looked confused, then looked at Nini... and the toy bear in her arms.
"Tibbers is Nini's good friend! Nini will never be separated from Tibbers!" Nini replied angrily with a puffy face.
"She and the bear are one, but they are not two lives." Dracula explained, "So in the prophecy, she can neither be counted as one person nor two people."
"Okay... So, by the way, where's Aunt Mary? I mean, Bloody Mary." Elena said again.
Dracula shook his head and said, "Bloody Mary was originally among the hundred guests. Also, I am also your guest."
Elena: (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)
It’s over, it’s over!
It seems that if we want to end the disaster, we can only rely on my father!
"Remind you, only Bloody Mary and I are on the list in the castle. So before twelve o'clock, you can send an invitation to anyone else you trust in the castle. After the invitation is successful, the blank guest's name in the auditorium will The name of the person you invited will appear on the name tag."
As Dracula spoke, his body suddenly began to twist and gradually turned into a huge bat. Then he opened his mouth again and said: "I will go outside the castle to look for new guests. If you see the name on the blank name plate in the auditorium, it means that I found it first."
As he spoke, the huge bat spread its wings and anxiously flew out of the window.
Elena watched her father leave, but there was one thing she never said to him because she had no evidence.
——The person who harmed her must be her stepmother! The stepmother must have been doing something secretly to make her guest one less guest.
Because Aunt Mary said that her stepmother would not let her go.
When Elena and Nini walked out of the room, the frogs croaked in their ears again, and there were more and noisier croaks.
Elena felt itchy on her back, and there was a greasy and sticky feeling. She knew that her back was beginning to change towards the frog disaster.
"Nini, can we play hide and seek?"
"Okay, okay, master! Nini likes to play hide and seek the most!" Nini clapped her hands happily.
"Forget it, suddenly I don't want to play anymore."
"Yeah!!" Nini yelled furiously!
[Nini’s favorability towards you -10]
The cry of frogs in the ears was neutralized by Nini's scream, but the disaster did not stop and was still happening.
no! This must be stopped!
But, who can she trust in the castle?
She stood there for a long time, and in the end, the only thing she could think of was that one person.
——Alucard.
Her biological brother!
Elena left the room and came to the auditorium again.
This time, he began to carefully look at the names placed on the ten long tables... Finally, she found a blank nameplate with no name written on it in front of the seventh table and seat.
It seems that this position is the missing one hundredth guest.
Elena walked towards the corridor again.
When she reached the third painting in the corridor, she stopped again. She always felt that this painting must provide her with some important clues.
She looked at the name of the painting, and underneath it was written - "The Shrewd Goblin".
"Hey, goblin, I'm the only one here now, can you talk to me?"
The portrait hangs quietly.
She glanced at Nini and said: "She is my blood contracter."
The portrait hangs quietly.
"If you don't answer me, I'll burn you!"
The portrait hangs quietly.
Elena took a deep breath and rolled her bloody eyes.
"I saw through your lie!"
The portrait hangs quietly.
"What? Are you going to keep pretending? You are not a 'smart' goblin at all, but a 'lying' goblin, because you have a long nose! In the strange world, only liars have long noses!"
portrait--
Hanging quietly.
