Chapter 1614 1609: Guest Elder
Upon hearing the second sentence from Liz, Su Chen's expression grew even stranger.Liz actually said that the Nopheler Family wants to invite him to become a Guest Elder of the Nopheler Family?
Su Chen repeatedly confirmed whether the 'Guest Elder' Liz mentioned was the one he imagined.
Unexpectedly, the Guest Elder mentioned by Liz had far more power and status than Su Chen imagined, and with even fewer restrictions.
"Are you sure you didn't take the wrong medicine? Or did your Nopheler Family accidentally take the wrong medicine?" Su Chen unhesitatingly said this.
This time Liz was thoroughly infuriated, and she retorted with a strained voice, "Don't push it too far! The reason our Nopheler Family keeps tolerating you is not because we're afraid of you. Worst case, we'll fight to the death. Our Nopheler Family has even more powerful ancestors still in slumber!"
Liz roared at Su Chen like an angry little tiger.
Su Chen's pupils slightly contracted. He still had some apprehensions about the Nopheler Family and didn't want to completely offend them.
After all, he witnessed with his own eyes the awakening of a being comparable to the Human King from slumber.
Regarding bloodline hierarchy, that was merely a Duke.
Su Chen had heard legends about the Blood Princes long ago, but he only regarded them as stories until now.
However, after witnessing the awakening of a Bloodline Duke comparable to a Human King, even Su Chen couldn't help but feel a bit of caution and awe toward the existence of Blood Princes.
After all, they surpassed the Human King.
He once had a skirmish with the Shura King. Well, if you could call it a skirmish.
Relying on the Defeating Heaven Sword Technique, he managed to scare the Shura King away.
But the Shura King's strength was deeply imprinted in his mind.
If he didn't use all his hidden cards to fight the Shura King, his only path would be certain death!
Su Chen's eyes slightly shifted. Now, this matter seemed to bring him only benefits without any harm, so there was no harm in agreeing to it.
Thus, he slightly nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Liz didn't leave just like that: "Since you've become our Nopheler Family's Guest Elder, you ought to come back with me to attend the ceremony."
"Still need to attend a ceremony?" Su Chen was instantly dumbfounded.
"That's right, our Nopheler Family is a reputable noble family. Since we've hired a Guest Elder, naturally we must send out invitation cards widely, announcing to other bloodline families, so they keep their eyes open and avoid offending our Guest Elder," Liz Nopheler said proudly.
Actually, Su Chen wasn't aware of the Nopheler Family's strength, because in the environment he got to know the Nopheler Family, they were just defined as not a very strong Vampire Family.
If the Nopheler Family was truly strong enough, why would their family head be beaten so easily by him?
And after being beaten, they remained silent as if nothing had happened?
That doesn't conform to common sense.
But he forgot about the unreasonable things he had done.
Were the things he did before conforming to common sense?
A Human actually managed to swallow the Vampires' Forbidden Magic, and acted like nothing happened, the Nopheler Family was also intimidated by his extraordinary means.
Besides, the reason for the Nopheler Family's actions, in fact, had other purposes.
The bloodline families could resist the Bright Church not just relying on themselves.
Under the blade of the Bright Church, they don't distinguish between Vampires or not.
All dark creatures are targets of their extermination, all heretics are their targets for elimination.
Therefore, the bloodlines and werewolf clans, along with some human dark mages, formed an alliance known as the Dark Council by the dark creatures.
This is the capital and leadership of the dark creatures in opposition to the Bright Church.
The Nopheler Family is not only among the nobility of the bloodlines, but also one of the ancient Thirteen Clans, and a Vice Leader of the Secret Party!
The Secret Party bloodlines form another core outside the bloodline power center.
But who are the Secret Party members? It's hard to distinguish within the bloodline families.
The Nopheler Family had considerable power within the Dark Council, but that was long before the Middle Ages.
The current Dark Council is far from what it once was, rare are the strong warriors they can bring forth.
After all, the impact of the Millennium Holy War from the Middle Ages on both sides of the conflict was too profound.
Even now, the top bloodline experts haven't fully awakened.
Countless dark creatures also perished because of it, never to return.
As for the Bright Church?
Known as the strongest and most forceful Pope in history, Emorris Kasa III, single-handedly fought against the Thirteen Princes of the bloodlines, plus the four Witch Demon Kings of the Dark Council, eventually killing or severely injuring nearly half, forcing the rest to flee with severe injuries.
But Emorris Kasa III was not a god, just a person.
After that battle, the Bright Church's Holy Artifacts also scattered into the mundane world.
Although in recent years, there have been frequent rumors of the Bright Church's Holy Artifacts appearing, none have been proven to be genuine so far.
This has also made the current Bright Church the weakest it has been in a millennium.
...
As for the Nopheler Family's grand plans to appoint Su Chen as a Guest Elder, when Su Chen was about to veto and conduct it discreetly—
A sentence from Liz made Su Chen change his mind.
"My father said, if you agree, during the night of the full moon, the Nopheler Family is willing to send four Marquesses to help you deal with those stinking werewolves."
"Is that true?" Su Chen's eyes lit up.
Four Marquesses, each Marquess-level vampire is equivalent to a Holy Realm Martial Artist.
Such free helpers, how could Su Chen miss out on them?
After all, in 'Moyland Castle,' there is likely to be a Wolf King Realm werewolf, even Su Chen dared not take it lightly; he had seen enough situations where carelessness led to failure. With more combat power, Su Chen wouldn't hesitate to seek it out.
After all, it was just attending a banquet.
"Noble bloodlines always keep their word!" Liz slightly tilted her proud head, with a look of disdain as if she wouldn't bother lying to him.
Little did she know, Su Chen was already bewitched by her appearance.
"Alright, tell me the time, and I'll make sure to be there!"
"Tomorrow night, wait here, I'll have someone come to pick you up," Liz said.
"Okay."
Since the Nopheler Family had already arranged everything, naturally Su Chen didn't need to worry about it and was glad to be relieved.
After Liz left, Barney appeared from the shadows.
Barney, being a High Rank Mage, naturally couldn't be detected by Liz's meagre cultivation.
