I Became a Progenitor Vampire - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Wandering Between Conflict and Hesitation

Reed looking at the crowd below that had been emotionally stirred by him, as he looked at the crowd without any chilliness and caution, he smiled in his heart.

By silently increasing the input of mana into the Charm magic model a little higher, and kept it within a limit.

His extraordinary magic affinity allowed him to precisely control every point of magic.

Even the vampires, with their good magic resistance, could not resist the derivative use of Charm, much less these totally untalented humans.

Moreover, almost every promise Reed had made was the most desirable object for an ordinary person living in the world of Glory. With the combination of various factors, the resulting effect far exceeded his estimation.

At this time, the sky was completely bright.

Just as he finished, a ray of light shone from the distance, and the sunlight fell on Reed under everyone’s gaze.

When the crowd saw this scene, they immediately fell silent.

The sun was the natural enemy of vampires. This was the common knowledge everyone knew.

At this moment, many of the common folks even showed a flustered look. If this vampire lord was severely injured by the sun, would he go back on his promise?

But an unexpected scene unfolded before everyone.

Reed opened his hands a little, and when the sun shone upon him, instead of falling into a weakened state, or having his body blistering and decaying away, he instead showed a look of joy.

“This is a warm day.”

“I like the sun as all of you do.”

Whoa…

The commotion caused by Reed’s two sentences was even louder than before.

A vampire who was not afraid of the sun?!

This scene that had subverted all common knowledge had everyone confused.

Immediately after, many people regained their wits, and most of their original fear of Reed had disappeared from their eyes.

The Vampires of the Divine Light were really different from other vampires; they were not afraid of the sun!!

Fear always came from the unknown, and by word of mouth across generations, the terror and evil of the vampires had taken root in the minds of every human.

However, after coming into contact with the Vampires of the Divine Light, everyone found that reality was different from what they had known, and that brought their hostility and disgust toward the Vampires of the Divine Light down a level.

As time goes on, it was foreseeable that it was not impossible for man and vampires to live in harmony.

The blood of the Progenitor Vampire gave Reed immunity to sunlight, and after a small round of pretending, he had earned a large amount of reputation.

Right then, Reed was like an unknown living myth in their eyes.

He had shattered the stereotype of vampires.

Vampires could live under the sun too!!

“After a night of flying, I’m sure everyone will be exhausted.

“I will have my people allocate housing for all of you, and then I will announce the plan for the farmland allocation in the plaza so everyone can see it.

“I am the patriarch of the Vampires of the Divine Light, Kaschar. My people, I hope that Dawnbreak and you will be together for the future.”

After Reed finished speaking, he gave a very gentlemanly bow, before turning around and stepped down.

It was a pity that there was no tradition of applause in Glory, so everyone just watched him leave quietly in shock.

The shock in their hearts made left a number of them unable to recover their wits even after a while.

There were both worries about Vampires of Divine Light, and the hope for a better tomorrow and future, all sorts of complicated thoughts made the atmosphere a little weird.

The day was very unfriendly to the vampires, and the other vampires did not have the same immunity against the sun Reed had.

The status of many of the vampires hiding in the dark corners had dropped by a lot. Fortunately, all of the vampires of Dawnbreak were intermediate class with a level of more than 5, so their resistance to sunlight had been greatly improved.

If it was a vampire that had recently been given the First Embrace, there was no way for them to move about during the day.

The vampires that had long prepared, under Reed’s supervision, brought the crowd according to their family unit to the Southern District.

At that moment, the crowd had not rested for a whole day and night, and most were very exhausted.

Aside from the vampires that have returned to the border, all of the vampires in Dawnbreak participated in the distribution of houses to the humans.

The unknown was always the source of fear, and after everyone was familiar with the Divine Light Vampires, the imaginary fear would naturally disappear. Although there was still fear, it was obviously less than when they have first arrived.

Fortunately, Reed had already formulated the corresponding rules, and it took only two solhours for the housing problem to be solved.

By ten o’clock in the morning, everyone was allocated a house.

And Dawnbreak fell into silence.

Only at certain shaded buildings were vampires standing guard.

Ollie and Rackel were assigned into a house… as neither of them had a family.

It was a two-story building, and there were two rooms on the second floor, with two people living in a room.

This small two-story building then accommodated eight people. If it was a family of three, then they would be given two rooms.

After Rackel opened the door and entered the room, he was surprised to see the clean and completely furnished room. He had thought it was good enough if the place just had a bed.

“Rackel, this, is this really assigned to us?”

Ollie had been in a daze until now. He originally thought that after the vampires appeared, he would be killed after having his blood sucked dry… just like the legends.

He never expected the other party to call himself, what was it again, a Vampire of the Divine Light, and even forcibly take them to an unknown castle.

He actually did not trust these nice-sounding vampires. Even after arriving at Dawnbreak, he had thought this was just a ploy by the vampires. How could these evil demons not bring harm to humans?

But what happened later was beyond his expectations.

There was no sight of corpses piling about, just a clean and peaceful city.

Their personal properties were not confiscated during registration, and those vampires were extremely courteous and polite… Being treated like a learned, distinguished person was really a great experience.

Later, he was told that he would be given 10 acres of land, and in the future, he could even study and learn magic there.

This was just too incredible.

The vampire lord’s speech had also touched him, and he still could not believe it even after he was actually allocated a house.

“Ollie, I won’t say much. Perhaps this is a ploy by the vampires, or perhaps this world really have the Vampires of the Divine Light that was different from the evil vampires. But regardless, we don’t have much room for resistance. The gods have said, time will reveal a demon’s true colors and will allow sages to become angels. What we need to do now is not resist but try to blend in. If these vampires are evil, we need to inform everyone. If they really are the Divine Light Vampires and mean no harm to us, if this city, Dawnbreak is far away from war and danger as Lord Kaschar said, this may not be a bad thing for the townsfolk. Ayric is just too close to the border, and since its establishment, how many times has Ayric been invaded by the orcs? How many of our friends have died in the hands of the orcs? If we can avoid the orcs and have land that belongs to us, living here is what the people of the border desire the most.”

Rackel’s tone was deep as he turned his head to look through the glass window at the vampires, who were hiding in the shade on the street.

Had it not been for the orc incursion that year that killed his parents, he would not have left Ayric to be a mercenary outside.

If he could really own a piece of land that belonged to him, and also be protected from the threat of war, he was willing to give everything he had.

Ollie nodded blankly. Everything that had happened today had massively impacted his inherent worldview.

In fact, most people were similar to Ollie. The fear of vampires had them panicking, but the rhetoric of the Vampire of the Divine Light gave them hope.

Conflict and hesitation wandered their minds.

Knock, knock, knock…

The knock on the door interrupted their thoughts.

Rackel stood up and drew out his great sword abruptly. The greatsword, which he regarded as his life was not taken away by the vampires.

“Who goes there?”

“Rackel, was it? I am the patriarch of the Vampires of the Divine Light, Kaschar.”
