Steampunk: Sixth Era Epic

Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Bloodsucking and Slumber

After dinner, Shard finally raised the matter of Sun Power artifacts.

Miss Galina had also collected two pieces; her opinion, much like Tower Keeper Mr. Edmund, was that since it was uncertain which item met the requirements, it was better to find several.

The Witch gave Shard a pebble that could heat up and the blade of a broken sword. The former was exceptionally smooth on the surface, and its temperature would continue to rise when held in the palm of a hand until it nearly reached 50 degrees before stopping. Despite showing no signs of rust, the latter seemed unremarkable. Miss Galina believed that the sword piece could be a fragment of the Sun Knight’s weapon from the Fourth Era.

Shard did not return home that night but was invited to stay over at the manor to discuss the current situation in Midshire Fort City. During this time, he also learned another piece of information: after the “Sin Mansion” incident concluded, the Vampire Mr. Armand Bernhardt requested Sister Delphine to introduce him to the Grand Witch of the Witch Council (Chapter 711). Later, Mr. Bernhardt met Granny Cassandra and, through her connections, purchased a Relic at a high price from Miss Galina.

This Relic was even related to Shard; it was the Scribe Level Relic “Vampire Fang,” which Shard obtained in the Tobesk Underground Ruins at the end of his adventure, after defeating the Vampire Kind sent by the “Blood of Mercury” to assist the “Blood Spirit School.” That Relic is one of the tokens of inheritance for the Vampire Race, which requires implantation in the mouth to utilize its Trait (Chapter 280).

Originally, Shard sold this Relic along with the Vampire’s corpse to Miss Galina for 1200 Gold Pounds. However, the somewhat impatient Mr. Benhart spent a total of 3000 Gold Pounds to purchase that tooth from Miss Galina.

“So, you don’t need to pay me Gold Pounds for those two Sun artifacts; the ‘Vampire Fang’ has already made me a tidy profit.”

The red-haired Duchess spoke quite generously, which only intensified Shard’s confusion:

“The ‘Crown of Blood,’ ‘Blood Thorn Scepter,’ ‘Vampire Ring,’ ‘Holy Grail of Blood,’ ‘Vampire Fang’—there are already five Relics… What exactly do Vampires in the Milestone Area want to do?”

“Whatever they intend to do, it definitely has nothing to do with the Interstice or The Chosen One.”

Miss Galina didn’t make such a judgment lightly:
