My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 177

#177

New Kingdom of Thalia

The kingdom of Thalia began coexistence with humans when vampires emerged from the sun, but as they were creating a new system that had never existed before, noises big and small continued everywhere.

As all the citizens of the kingdom have come under King Heinz II, unlike before, the number of people who can drink blood is limited, and unless you are a death row inmate, you must not feast to the point of endangering your life.

However, this in itself acted as a strong stress to the vampires, who had been ‘hunting’ for someone who suited their taste as they pleased.

“It’s the inspection department. “Would you please follow me for a quick investigation?”

“No, is it really like this? “It was confirmed that he was a criminal and he was sentenced, so what’s the problem?”

“It appears that you did not read the ‘Final Draft of Criminal Punishment Standards (2nd revised version)’ properly. Even so, it was just a case of theft, so I should have just sucked it up and stayed quiet. “It is also a precious resource, but we were too greedy.”

“Tsk!”

Although they are said to have evolved in many ways thanks to Heinz’s “Refined Blood Seal,” blood-sucking was a problem directly related to their instincts.

As such, it was a natural progression for people to arise who tried to bypass restrictions in some way to satisfy their own desires.

“How long are you going to lose your country to monsters and live like livestock? “We have to come together now and overcome this!”

“But it seems like the church is letting go, so what can we do now…”

“You don’t have to worry about that problem. In fact, the Kingdom of Charlotte secretly….”

Quang—!

Rumble!

“These are impure elements here. Grab them all!”

“Tsk! “How do you know this place?”

“…I’m so sorry. Still, shouldn’t those who live survive? Actually, my life isn’t particularly bad right now…”

“Betrayal…! “How dare you deceive us!”

Also, the secret forces that are implicitly invading the people inside have begun to raise their heads one by one.

Of course, they were quickly discovered by Hybrid, who had already completely taken control of the kingdom’s underbelly, but their actions, presumed to have been instigated by neighboring countries, continued steadily.

Each country simply remained ignorant, as if they were trying to cut off the tail.

However, surprisingly, the evaluation of the general public, who made up the majority of the population, was not that bad.

To the extent that the lower class, who are barely scraping by from day to day, are evaluated as having become better than before.

“Oh my therapist. thank you.”

“it’s okay. It’s something the country does. “Next patient, please come in!”

It was the pharmacy department that hired a large number of therapists from all over the country and provided treatment services almost free of charge.

They even invited priests from the main religious order to host regular healing events at temples and prayer centers in various places.

All kinds of harmful drugs were quickly eliminated from all of Thalia, and the diseases and hygiene problems prevalent in the slums were also quickly eliminated through kingdom-level welfare projects.

In addition, it was possible to receive high-quality nutritious food in exchange for donating blood, so it was like heaven on earth for the lower class who had nothing.

-Easy to earn a lump sum of money? Just time for a cup of tea! Side-effect-free treatment and perfect after-care guaranteed!

– Accumulate blood donation points and receive various benefits! From various daily necessities to high-end residential facilities, there are plenty of generous freebies!

– Preference given to healthy single men and women in their early twenties. Additional payment subject to various conditions.

It was not difficult to find promotional leaflets about it not only at blood donation centers located everywhere but also in government offices.

A world where there is no problem in making a living just by selling your own blood on a regular basis.

‘Also, if blood magic is used in combination, the donors’ recovery can be accelerated more quickly. ‘We may be able to draw blood more frequently than usual.’

They even promised national-level compensation to exemplary citizens who consistently donate blood, and they also provide a one-on-one matching service with vampires looking for blood of a specific taste…

Literally, the ‘blood donation center’ has become the center of the New Thalia Kingdom system. was going

‘Instead, people with blood that is in high demand, such as young, healthy beauties, will be treated better in the future… but that is something that cannot be helped. It’s not really a big problem.’

Of course, it would be common for the national economy to collapse if such welfare-type policies were overused at the national level, but the case of the Kingdom of Thalia, ruled by Heinz Hybrid II, was different.

Not only has the ‘Brokoslak Clan’ been controlling the wealth of the kingdom for a long time, but the biggest problem, the thieves who embezzle the country’s money, are also in a state of extinction.

In addition, what appeared to be a welfare budget on the outside was in fact no different from a defense budget for effectively managing vampires, so it was an expenditure that could not be considered a waste.

‘If you add in the nobles who devote themselves only to national affairs without unnecessary luxuries, this could be said to be an ideal country in fantasy.’

To be exact, they were close to not having the opportunity or leisure to indulge in luxury…

but it was the same thing!

“road? Heinz? …Sitting someone in front of you and then thinking about something else. “I thought about it before, but you’re too self-centered…”

“Bricky.”

“Oh, were you listening? Hehehe—of course it’s a joke?”

“No more nonsense. “How did things go?”

He cut off Bricky, who was laughing helplessly, and got straight to the point.

She was the only person who could talk comfortably in front of Heinz, and he tolerated her behavior to a certain extent when they were alone.

‘No matter how master-servant they are, the age difference must be significant.’

She was truly the history and living fossil of the vampire race that had existed for over thousands of years.

Moreover, since his level of skill was not that low compared to his own, there was nothing he could not do to speak informally as a courtesy to his elders.

“…Something makes me feel bad. “Have you ever thought of being rude?”

As expected from a saint with transcendent intuition, Bricky seems to have sensed something.

The black-haired beauty opened her red eyes and glanced at him, but her acting skills were not low enough to reveal her true feelings.

“Don’t talk back, just report first.”

“…hmm. What’s good? First of all, the places I stopped by were the midwestern region of the Azerion Empire, starting from Charlotte Tulk Lesk. Thanks to the children of Eupersch who opened the blood gate, the movement itself was not difficult…”

Even though the vampire clan of Outerica was in the top 3 of the Eupersch Brokoslak Obifor, they were not the only race called vampires. .

In terms of numbers, the three clans alone would account for about half of the race, but in other words, the remaining half would be members of minor clans.

‘And that’s a level that can never be ignored.’

Minor clans that lost their sacred blood in the process of blood inheritance and were eliminated or split off from the mainstream.

They had something in common: as their power was weak, they developed secrecy in order to survive, making it difficult to find their exact location.

However, there were quite a few people whose approximate locations were revealed by the Eupersch Clan, whose area of activity spanned the entire continent—.

Bricky’s mission this time was to visit the place in person and persuade them.

If you want to live, just come here… join the Outerica Vampire Clan Alliance ‘Hybrid’.

‘Threats are also a great negotiation tool. That’s what diplomacy is all about.’

Actually, if you think about it, it wasn’t a bad offer for them either.

Isn’t this the perfect time to escape from your current life of hiding and join the largest vampire force on the current continent?

If we were to join now, we would also be offered the opportunity to strengthen with “Refined Blood Tablets,” so it was strange to refuse this.

And it seemed like Bricky had the same thoughts, so she spoke in a confident manner.

“But even though they made a good suggestion, there were some stupid things that I couldn’t understand, so I gave them a Tyler to help me understand them better… or brought them in? Hehehe.”

The suppression was completed smoothly, and now the subordinates are sequentially delivering through blood gates.

It was quite a nice piece of loot, including Jinhyeol Duot and many purebloods.

‘As expected, everything is easy because I have a talented person of the highest caliber under my command. If it weren’t for Bricky, things would have been a lot more troublesome.’

Of course, no matter how small the clan was, if it was Lord, it would have been at Jinhyeol level.

In order to completely subdue a force of that size, we have no choice but to dispatch more power.

However, in the Kingdom of Thalia, which was in the midst of a transformation, all the high-ranking personnel were busy, and the one who was free at the time was Briki, who had no interest in practical work and was just lounging around.

Naturally, Heinz, who could not stand to see his subordinates having fun, almost forced her to take on this task…

and the result, as you can see, was very satisfactory.

“Hmm, good. Good job Bricky.”

“You understand? I think I did a pretty good job this time…” “

Then, after a little rest, I’ll ask you to do the rest of the area as well. There are still many places left. One day will do, right?”

“…As expected, you are too self-centered…”

In this way, Hybrid strengthened the national level in line with the changed system on the outside, and expanded its size behind the scenes by absorbing vampires spread across the continent.

However, even in the midst of all this, there was a place where King Heinz II was keenly aware and kept an eye out for opportunities.

Naturally, the remaining one of the top three vampire clans.

It was the Republic of Zephia in the eastern part of the continent where the Obaipo Clan was located.

Chirp— Chirp—

A peaceful morning with all kinds of birds singing beautifully.

“Hello, Mr. Harris. good morning.”

“Harris, I just picked this fruit today. Why don’t you try it?”

“Are you at peace? “The weather is really nice today too.”

‘Harris Granwood’, who became the new high elf of the Elven Kingdom, was welcomed by everyone and was walking around inside the royal palace, the only building facing the World Tree.

“Hahaha thank you. May the grace of the World Tree be with you.”

Should I really be a high elf?

It hasn’t been long since his eyes opened, and he hasn’t shown anything in particular yet, but the elves here are showing him infinite kindness.

‘Well, I guess it has to be that way. The proof of a tangible god was towering right next to me, and the high elf was something that could be considered its priest.’

Still, it didn’t feel too bad to be treated like this.

To be more honest… These days, I’ve become so used to being supported in this way by people around me that I tend to accept it naturally without even realizing it.

‘Anyway, I only heard about it, but this is my first time coming here. Let’s see… the residence where the gardeners stay…’

He had his own reason for moving this way.

Today, while learning about the basic skills of a high elf with Cecily, I came across a piece of information that caught my eye.

In order to check it out for himself, Harris went to this place where the ‘gardeners’ who manage the world’s trees live as soon as the training was over.

‘I once said hello to their leader, the elf, right after I opened my eyes. ‘This is my first time going directly to where they are.’

The gardeners of the World Tree were in a position similar to that of a priest or monk, and were devoted solely to caring for the World Tree without any involvement in other worldly affairs.

Even if the World Tree is an incarnation of God, once it has appeared on this earth in the form of a tree, wouldn’t it be better to have the hand of management rather than not have it at all?

‘Still, since it is a world tree in name and color, there may not be much to fix. Well, if it weren’t for that, how much manpower would have been needed to manage a tree of this size…’

Therefore, their main job is to regularly fly around the area to check for abnormalities and to remove dead branches as the World Tree prunes itself. It could be said that it was collecting .

“No, aren’t you Mr. Harris? “How did the high elf come here…”

“Nice to meet you. “Now that I have become a high elf by the grace of the World Tree, I thought I should meet in person the people who serve him most closely, so I came to visit you.”

“Oh oh…! “You think of us this much…!”

And that was exactly what Harris came here for.

Even though it was dried out and its spiritual veins were cut off, it meant that there were a lot of branches of the precious World Tree piled up here!

“…So, can I take a look around where you work?”

“of course. “Let me guide you. I’m on shift work, so there aren’t that many people left, but I’m sure everyone else will be happy.”

“Hahaha, I don’t know if this is just a nuisance for no reason.”

In those narrow eyes with such a soft smile.

Unlike his usual laziness, Harris’s eyes, burning with desire, began to busily scan his surroundings.
