I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Hesitation and Indecision (Please Recommend~)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lide looked down at the crowd below, whose emotions he had stirred; their eyes no longer held coldness and vigilance. He smiled slightly in his heart.

He silently increased the magic power input into the Charming Skill magic model, keeping it at an extreme range.

His exceptional Magic Affinity allowed him to precisely control every bit of magic power.

Even the Bloodline with decent magical immunity couldn’t resist the derivative usage of the Charming Skill; this group of talentless humans had no chance.

Moreover, every promise Lide made was nearly everything ordinary humans living in the Glory World yearned for. Combined with various other reasons, the effect far exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, the sky was completely bright.

As his voice fell, a ray of sunlight happened to shine from afar, landing on Lide under everyone’s gaze.

The crowd below fell silent upon witnessing this scene.

The sun was known as the vampire’s nemesis—a common knowledge among all humans.

At this moment, quite a few civilians revealed panicked expressions. Would this vampire City Lord withdraw his promises if he was gravely injured by the sun?

But an unexpected scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

Lide slightly spread his arms, and instead of becoming weak or his body decaying as the legends described, he showed an expression of enjoyment.

“This is a warm day.”

“I, like you all, enjoy the sun.”

Wow~

The uproar caused by Lide’s two sentences was more sensational than all the previous commotions combined.

A vampire wasn’t afraid of the sun?!

This common-knowledge-defying scene left everyone with a stupefied feeling.

Quickly, many people came to their senses, and the original fear in their eyes faded significantly when they looked at Lide again.

The Holy Light Bloodline was indeed different from other Bloodlines; they were not afraid of sunlight!!

Fear stemmed from the unknown. The terror and evil of the Bloodline were deeply rooted in every human’s mind through word of mouth.

But after encountering the Holy Light Bloodline, everyone realized their perceptions didn’t match reality, which significantly reduced their hostility and aversion towards the Holy Light Bloodline.

Over time, it became foreseeable that peaceful coexistence between humans and the Bloodline wasn’t an impossible task.

The Ancestor’s bloodline granted Lide immunity to sunlight; this little display earned him immense reputation.

At this moment, Lide was a mythical existence in the eyes of the crowd.

He shattered people’s ingrained beliefs.

Vampires could live under the sun too!!

“A night of flying must have exhausted everyone.”

“I will have houses allocated to you, and later, I’ll announce the plan for land distribution in the square, where everyone can see it.”

“I am Kachar, the clan leader of the Holy Light Bloodline. My people, I hope that Dawn City will coexist with you in the future.”

After finishing his speech, Lide bowed very gentlemanly and turned to step off the stage.

Unfortunately, there was no tradition of applause in Glory; everyone just watched him leave in silent shock.

The impact on their hearts made it hard for them to regain composure in a short time.

They were both worried about the Holy Light Bloodline and hopeful for tomorrow and the future; the complicated sentiments rendered the crowd’s atmosphere subtle.

Daytime was very unfriendly to the Bloodline; other Bloodlines didn’t have Lide’s immunity to sunlight.

Many Bloodline members in dark corners were already significantly weakened, but fortunately, the Bloodline in Dawn City were all intermediate professionals above level 5, greatly enhancing their resistance to sunlight.

If they were newly transformed Bloodline members, they wouldn’t be able to move during the day.

The Bloodline, well-prepared under Lide’s supervision, led the families to South District.

The crowd hadn’t rested for a day and night, and most were very tired.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Apart from the Bloodline who had already returned to the border, all Bloodline members in Dawn City participated in the house allocation for humans.

Fear stemmed from the unknown; once everyone acquainted themselves with the Bloodline, the imagined fear would naturally dissipate. Although fear still existed, it was markedly less than when they first arrived.

Fortunately, Lide had already established corresponding rules, solving the housing issue in less than two Sunshine Hours.

By 10 a.m., everyone had been allocated housing.

Dawn City fell silent.

Only specific sun-shaded buildings still had Bloodline members standing guard.

Oli and Recker were given a house… because neither had family.

It was a two-story small building, with two rooms on the second floor, each accommodating two people.

Such a two-story small building housed eight people. If it was a family of three, they could acquire two rooms.

Recker pushed open the door and was slightly surprised by the fully furnished, clean, and tidy interior. It was more than he had expected, as usually, having a bed would be fortunate.

“Brother Recker, is this really assigned to us?”

Oli still felt like he was in a dream; he originally thought that after vampires appeared, they would be drained of blood and killed… just like the legends.

But unexpectedly, the other party claimed they were the Holy Light Bloodline and forcibly brought them to an unknown castle.

He didn’t actually trust these vampires with sweet words. Even after arriving in Dawn City, he believed it was just a conspiracy by the vampires. How could these evil demons not harm humans?

But what happened next exceeded his expectations.

There were no horrific scenes with corpses everywhere, only a clean and peaceful city.

Nothing was stolen when registering information, and the Bloodline were courteous and polite… treating them like knowledgeable dignitaries, which was indeed an excellent experience.

Later, they were informed that they could be allocated ten acres of land, and in the future, they could even learn knowledge and magic here.

It was incredible.

The vampire City Lord’s speech also deeply moved him, and now that they had indeed been allocated a house, he still couldn’t believe it.

“Oli, I won’t say much. Maybe this is still a vampire’s conspiracy; maybe there really are Holy Light Bloodlines different from the evil vampires in this world.

But no matter what, we don’t have much room for resistance. God says, time will reveal the true face of demons and turn sages into angels.

What we need to do now is not resist but try to integrate. If these vampires are truly evil, we need to inform everyone.

If they are genuinely Holy Light Bloodlines, harmless to us, and Dawn City, as the Kachar City Lord claimed, is far from war and danger, it might not be a bad thing for the town’s residents.

Eric Town was too close to the border. Since its establishment, how many times had it been invaded by Beastmen? How many friends had died at the hands of Beastmen?

To escape from the Beastmen and have a piece of land of our own is our deepest desire living at the border.”

Recker spoke with a deep tone, turning to look at the Bloodline hiding in the shade through the window.

Had the Beastmen invasion not killed his parents that year, he wouldn’t have left Eric Town to become a mercenary.

If he could indeed have a piece of land of his own and be free from the threat of war, he was willing to give everything.

Oli nodded blankly; everything that had happened today greatly shocked his beliefs.

In fact, most people had similar feelings to Oli’s. Their fear of vampires made them panic, but the Holy Light Bloodline’s words gave them hope.

Their emotions were caught between hesitation and hope.

Bang bang bang~

Knocks on the door interrupted their thoughts.

Recker stood up, abruptly drawing his Longsword. His beloved Longsword had not been taken away by the Bloodline.

“Who is it?”

“Is it Recker? I am Kachar, the clan leader of the Holy Light Bloodline.”
