Andy was somewhat surprised by Blade's explanation; he hadn't expected the World to have a profession like Vampire Hunter.
And judging by Blade's demeanor, the Vampire Hunter profession had been passed down for many years.
Perhaps the rarity of Vampires was related to them, but he didn't know why so many Vampires were appearing in New York.
"You Vampire Hunters shouldn't have many people, right? How is the lineage passed down?"
This question left Blade a bit bewildered. The reputation of Vampire Hunters was not small in Europe, so why was Andy, this super-rich man, completely unaware of it?
After thinking carefully, he figured it might be because this was the U.S., far from Europe, so rumors of Vampires were fewer. He then explained:
"The lineage of Vampire Hunters is very ancient. My Lord Van Helsing, the legendary monster hunter, was one of us.
We mainly operate in Europe, which is the Vampires' lair. Recently, for some unknown reason, Vampires have suddenly begun expanding outwards, which is why I'm in New York to investigate the cause."
With that, Blade took out the silver cross from his person and placed it on the table.
"This is proof of a Vampire Hunter. Among Vampire Hunters, my strength is considered quite good.
However, I can only be considered a combatant. Vampire Hunters all have their partners, and these partners are the ones who teach us the art of hunting Vampires.
Perhaps their strength has declined with age, but they understand Vampires better than we do."
Andy picked up the silver cross and examined it carefully. It was just an ordinary silver ornament.
However, its casting process was quite complex, making it difficult for ordinary people to counterfeit. And in the middle of the cross, there was a glass container filled with a transparent liquid.
"What is this liquid inside?"
Andy shook the silver cross, and the liquid inside the cross sloshed with it.
"That's Holy Water purchased from the Catholic Church in the Vatican. It has a strong suppressive effect on evil creatures like Vampires."
Holy Water? And it suppresses Vampires?
That was something useful. Andy activated the lab equipment, and a Vampire, tightly bound on a bed, appeared before the two of them.
The previously dazed Vampire instantly woke up and let out screams as soon as he appeared in the lab and was hit by the sunlight through the window.
"Audis, block out the sunlight. Don't let him die."
As soon as the words fell, all the lab's glass turned black, and the lights were turned on, illuminating the entire lab.
Without the sunlight, the Vampire's screams gradually diminished.
He looked at Andy with fear. Compared to himself, a Vampire, this man seemed more like a demon.
So many Vampires were killed yesterday, and those who were captured were even subjected to blood extraction and research by Andy.
The most terrifying thing was his strangely shaped large dog. Even with a Vampire's physique, it was just a single bite under that large dog's mouth.
Yesterday's events were still vivid in his mind. After that Vampire recovered, he tried to ambush Andy.
As a result, he was severely wounded by the large dog and was also injected with a large amount of anesthetic by Andy. That Vampire was still unconscious in the darkroom just now.
Now that he was brought here, he was afraid he would vanish into thin air like those Vampires yesterday.
In a panic, the Vampire shouted, "No, don't kill me! I know the locations of other blood slaughterhouses..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw the look in Andy's and Blade's eyes change, and he quickly corrected himself, "I know other Vampire strongholds, don't kill me! I'm useful."
He was afraid of death, truly afraid of death.
If he weren't afraid of death, he wouldn't have willingly become a Vampire. For this Eternity of life, he had already given up his right to live in the sunlight. He didn't want to die in this place.
Other Vampire strongholds?
In Blade's memory, these lower-level Vampires generally only frequented the Vampire strongholds they were familiar with.
He had never heard of such low-level Vampires contacting each other. Could it be that they were supporting each other to gain a foothold in the U.S.?
But that didn't make sense either. Although Vampires were of the same race, their relationships with each other were not actually very good.
It could be seen from their hierarchy; stronger Vampires used weaker Vampires as slaves.
It was only when facing Vampire Hunters or other enemies that these Vampires would unite.
Normally, while not mutually hostile, they wouldn't easily communicate.
Higher-level Vampires were fine; they might meet for a conference after a long time. But lower-level Vampires would never go to other Vampire strongholds to operate.
But this Vampire was unusual. With his strength, he could only be said to live at the lowest level of the race among Vampires. How could he have contact with other Vampire strongholds?
Thinking about these questions, Blade spoke, "Other Vampire strongholds? You, a low-level one, would know information about other Vampire strongholds?
Even the supervisors of Vampire strongholds don't easily contact each other. How could you, who clearly looks like a bottom-tier Vampire, know about other strongholds?"
Blade's words also made Andy wonder. According to Blade's account, there wasn't much contact between these Vampires.
But how could there be no communication even at the lowest level within a race?
Especially now in the age of technology, with almost everyone having mobile phones and computers, it would seem normal for these Vampires to know each other's strongholds from an ordinary person's perspective.
But why did Blade say that Vampires wouldn't easily contact each other? And why would low-level Vampires especially not know information about other Vampires?
With doubt, Andy asked Blade, "Tell me, what's going on? Why don't Vampires contact each other?"
Receiving Andy's question, Blade thought carefully and, deeming the information not a crucial secret, explained.
"Vampires exist in the form of clans, just like countries. They also have their own interests and ideas.
The Elder Council they formed is precisely to reconcile the interests between their clans.
It is also because of the Elder Council that they won't easily attack other clans, because outside of them, there are many enemies watching them.
Because their internal conflicts are not small, a mutually destructive fight after encountering each other is also a possible situation, so they don't contact each other.
Moreover, when Vampires use their power, they carry a distinct mark of their clan, which also prevents them from mixing together.
Therefore, they only go to strongholds they are familiar with and don't run around to unfamiliar ones."
Blade explained the contact between Vampires to Andy, and Andy also had a sudden realization under his explanation.
Although Vampires were one race, their individual interests were different, and what they pursued was also different.
Their common ground was only reached when feeding on blood and fighting enemies, but under normal circumstances, their relationship was not good.
It could only be said that when facing enemies, they would stand on the side of their own race, rather than watching Vampires from other clans be killed by enemies.
Understanding the situation among Vampires, Andy also began to question what this Vampire said.
Since the relationships between Vampires were not very good, it would be impossible for a Vampire from one clan to know multiple strongholds.
Unless it was a Vampire of a certain rank who would know these things. This Vampire didn't seem like one of higher rank, so how could he say he knew?
With doubt, Andy looked at the Vampire restrained on the hospital bed, unless this Vampire was lying to him.
