The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1610 - 457: It Feels Even Stranger

The air was as quiet as if covered in frost.

At this moment, everything was silent, except for the crackling of the campfire and Erin's wildly beating heart.

The blood race of this world has a heartbeat.

She is still alive!

And this feeling has never been so intense!

All the dark clouds that had accumulated in her heart dissipated because of that promise.

Unlike Erin, who was so moved she almost shed tears, Quentin Copper Furnace was utterly hopeless.

Who would have thought the Empire had deteriorated to such an extent that even vampires could be tolerated!

Seeing this Empire's prince being so determined, even at the cost of tearing his ally relationship with him, after weighing things repeatedly, he ultimately gave up on insisting.

Of course, the main reason was that he realized he truly couldn't win, and it wouldn't be worth it even if he did.

Erin Campbell was originally at the Platinum Level, and could even fight evenly with a Chaos Chosen of the Purple Crystal Level.

Even though she is now seriously injured, it would still take some effort to deal with her.

What's more, these humans don't know what's good for them, they don't speak of right or wrong, only of position!

From the unfathomably powerful Prince Colin to the loyal knights by her side, everyone chose to ignore it as if they hadn't seen it.

How can you fight this?

Understanding this, Quentin's tense muscles relaxed, and he no longer faced coldly as before, letting go of his rigidity.

"...Since the Empire's prince has said so, then let's pretend the High Mountain Kingdom's lord hasn't seen anything, the war is more important."

In the midst of panic, Erin's eyes showed an incredulous look, looking surprised at the dwarf whose stance changed instantly.

She had thought it would take a long time to persuade this ally to continue fighting alongside the Campbell Duchy, but she hadn't expected Prince Colin to solve the problem in just a few words.

Once again, when she needed help the most, he generously extended a hand to pull her up...

"Thank you for your understanding," Luo Yan nodded slightly, "Just like you told me before, I hope you also keep the bigger picture in mind."

Quentin looked at him expressionlessly, letting out a cold snort from beneath his thick beard.

"Let me make it clear, if any consequences arise due to your foolish actions, the Copper Furnace Family bears no responsibility! We are merely upholding an ancient pact, fighting for our common fate."

"I can vouch for you and your family, using the credit of a Prince of the Empire... If anyone questions this matter, just say the Empire forced you."

Luo Yan raised two index fingers to swear, and after making his first vow, he lowered one finger, then turned to Erin and continued speaking gently.

"Besides that, I also make an announcement: no matter what the outcome, Colin Duchy will always stand with Erin Campbell!"

This statement was like a warm current, instantly striking the softest part of Erin's heart.

Her face turned red with a "whoosh," from her cheeks to her earlobes, as if hot steam was rising from her head.

"I..."

She opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to say she wasn't worth him going to such lengths. That he was willing to believe what she said, that she absolutely hadn't sold her soul to Chaos, nor signed any contract with demons... she already felt very grateful!

However, remembering his earlier "don't speak yet," she instinctively closed her mouth again, hiding her slightly trembling lips and flushed face under the shadow of her lowered hood.

It seemed she returned to that unfinished dream.

The sense of security that engulfed her made her feel like she was back in her childhood...

Standing aside, Theresa was initially shocked, then looked at Colin with a gaze of newfound respect.

She really hadn't seen wrong—

This gentleman was a truly noble knight!

Even though he wasn't actually a knight.

Quentin shrugged, indicating he had no objections.

However Colin's Duchy treated Erin, it was an internal matter of the Human Clan; he only cared about the foothold of the Copper Furnace Family in the High Mountain Kingdom.

But due to concerns for his own neck, he couldn't help but ask one more question:

"Just consider it as my meddling, but let me ask... If she goes crazy and starts biting people, what then? I've heard that some vampires lose all reason when they go mad."

Regarding this matter, Luo Yan was undoubtedly the most qualified person present to speak.

He had seen many blood races at the Demon King Academy, and those pretending they couldn't live without human blood were probably craving something other than blood.

Solely from the perspective of ingredients, the blood of a Minotaur was undoubtedly the tastiest, and besides that, there were countless substitutes.

At least the blood race of Hell no longer bites necks directly. Just like how humans love beef, they don't cut it directly from a cow.

However—

None of that was the point.

Luo Yan smiled as he looked at Erin.

"Erin."

Erin was caught off guard and instinctively responded.

"...Yes?"

Luo Yan looked at her, speaking in a gentle tone.

"Promise me, do not harm others."

"If you're really hungry, you can borrow my neck."

...

The meeting that decided the future fate of the "Northern Relief Army" finally ended, with the dwarf reinforcement's commander, Quentin Copper Furnace, ultimately deciding to turn a blind eye.

However, he also proposed that, to maintain the army's morale, the Campbell side must find a way to conceal Erin's identity!

At the very least, they had to cover up her scent so that the dwarves would not discover their commander was actually a despicable vampire!
