NOVEL NEXT Chapter 97: Life Winner
Everyone in the palace felt their eyes light up because this vampire beauty was indeed stunning, especially her crimson eyes, which added a unique charm belonging to vampires.
She held a longsword in her right hand, aligning with the usual impression of vampires. In this world, vampires aren't shady clowns hiding in dark corners, secretly drawing blood—they can wield weapons, don armor, and storm into battle fiercely.
Unlike their opponents, the werewolves, who prefer long knives, vampires seem to favor longswords, and it's rare to see them using other weapons.
Holding a longsword fits the traditional image of vampires, but what's unique here is that this vampire beauty is also delicately holding a striking golden chalice in her left hand, filled with crimson blood.
Her troop's name, Crimson Chalice, seems to refer to this.
Chen Dong was so excited he trembled all over, reached out to hold the vampire beauty's hands, and brought her back to his army.
A Tier Four Elite-level troop, and such a stunning elite-level troop! I've really acquired it!
Dongg Qingxue swallowed excitedly and asked Lin Rui, "Boss, do I get one too?"
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Although it was Chen Dong who discovered this, you're the one who contacted me. You too can recruit one, as a reward. But in future cycles, the resources we distribute here will be between Chen Dong and me, you won't have a share. Can you understand that?"
Dongg Qingxue quickly nodded, her tone so excited it trembled, "I understand, I understand. I'm extremely grateful for your generosity, boss. If it weren't for the fact that you are not lacking beautiful women, I would repay you with my body tonight no matter what."
Audrey immediately looked at her warily, this woman sure said that, but between the lines, she was implying her willingness to climb into the Lord's bed, to satisfy a man's sense of conquest and novelty.
Lin Rui hastily waved his hand, saying, "No need, no need, it's your deserved reward. Go ahead and recruit."
Dongg Qingxue had no other emotions and left with a charming smile, also recruiting a Tier Four Elite-level vampire beauty.
When it was Lin Rui's turn, he walked up to the servant with a pale complexion who proactively said, "Respected Lord, the recruitment fee for a Crimson Chalice Combat Priestess is three Tier Four Spiritual Gems, three hundred Spirit Crystal Coins, and three hundred Crystals per priestess. Heilv Castle is always open for you, you can come recruit anytime."
Lin Rui was slightly surprised, seeing Chen Dong and Dongg Qingxue easily paying the recruitment fees, he thought the recruiting price wasn't high.
Looks like tonight's siphoning effect was much stronger than Lin Rui had imagined. Those Lords confident they could withstand the death impact acquired plentiful high-tier resources.
So much so that Chen Dong and Dongg Qingxue faced little difficulty in paying the recruitment fee.
Perhaps the only challenge was this Tier Four Gem, typically Explorers capable of acquiring such resources are strong themselves and wouldn't sell them.
This indicates that Chen Dong and Dongg Qingxue, who could withstand the Dark Strike, possess considerable strength, not to be underestimated.
Lin Rui paid the fee for the last ten recruitment slots in one go.
The dark teleportation gate opened, and ten vampire ladies appeared in the palace.
Among them, three were notably dressed differently from ordinary combat priests; if others wore obscure classical attire, theirs were filled with noble elegance. Even the longswords they held were different from other vampires, casting radiant spiritual light.
Especially the leading young beauty, with her hollowed decoration attire, her corset barely covering half her chest, exposing a deep cleavage, the vampire's fair skin enticing in the dark.
The chalice in her hand constantly boiled, seemingly ready to transform into a blood line and bind others at any moment.
Most crucially, her visage was astonishingly beautiful, a beauty that could topple nations, differing from the usual alluring beauty of vampires. Her long hair flowed down to her waist, exuding elegance that had an explosive impact on men.
Chen Dong felt a pang of jealousy; he recruited an elite-level troop, but how did the boss manage to recruit two rare-level troops and one heroic spirit-level troop!
He too desired to recruit a heroic spirit-level troop, no wait, even a rare-level troop would do.
In that instant, he made up his mind to frantically gather resources every cycle to try his luck, aiming to recruit a Tier Four rare-level vampire lady.
And Lin Rui in the middle was equally astonished; the troops recruited from Heilv Castle were actually random! Completely depending on luck, one could recruit elite-level soldiers and also rare-level, heroic spirit-level, or even lord-level ones.
This was indeed a blessing for Lin Rui, chosen by fortune.
Every probability-based recruitment stronghold was a powerful engine for Lin Rui's strength expansion.
"In the name of the Crimson Chalice, I, Combat Priestess Walnut, swear to serve the Lord as a sharp blade, a faithful wind, and an eternal flame."
All the combat priests followed the gentle lady, kneeling on one knee and reversing their sword handles to pledge allegiance to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui was very familiar with this scene and immediately responded, "Welcome to the Golden Pansy Family. In the near future, when the Golden Pansy banner flies high in the sky, you will be proud of today's decision."
