Episode 177 The New Talia Kingdom
The Talia Kingdom, where vampires had come out into the open and begun to coexist with humans.
But since they were creating a new system that had never existed before, there were constant conflicts, both big and small.
Not only was the number of targets for bloodsucking limited because all the citizens of the kingdom were now under Heinz the Second, but they also couldn’t feed to the point of endangering their lives unless they were death row inmates.
But that was a huge stressor for the vampires, who had been ‘hunting’ whoever they wanted, according to their tastes.
“It’s the Inspection Department. Could you please come with us for a moment for an investigation?”
“No, seriously? I confirmed that he was a criminal and executed the sentence, what’s the problem?!”
“It seems like you haven’t properly read the
“Ugh!”
Even though they had evolved in various ways thanks to Heinz’s “Refined Blood Essence”, bloodsucking was directly connected to their instincts.
So it was only natural that there would be those who tried to bypass the restrictions and satisfy their greed.
“How long are we going to let those monsters take over our country and live like livestock? We have to unite and overcome this!”
“But even the Church seems to have given up, what can we do now...?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Actually, the Sharotti Kingdom is secretly...”
Boom—!
Rumble!
“These are the dissidents. Capture them all!”
“Ugh! How did you find out?!”
“...Ahem, I’m sorry. But those who can be saved should be saved, right? It’s not even that bad living here... ”
“Betrayal...! How dare you deceive us!”
Secret forces that were subtly instigating the humans within the country also started to raise their heads one by one.
Of course, they were quickly discovered by Hybrid, who had already completely taken over the kingdom’s underworld, but their actions, presumed to be backed by neighboring countries, continued.
Those countries just feigned ignorance, as if trying to cut their losses.
But surprisingly, the general public’s evaluation wasn’t that bad.
It was even said that life had become better than before for the lower class, who were struggling to make ends meet.
“Oh my, Healer. Thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome. It’s my job. Next patient, please!”
It was nothing that they had hired a large number of healers from all over the country and were providing medical services at a practically free level.
They even invited priests from the Main God Church to hold regular healing events at temples and prayer rooms.
All sorts of drugs that harmed the body were instantly eradicated from Talia, and the diseases and hygiene problems that were rampant in the slums quickly disappeared thanks to the kingdom’s welfare projects.
And they were even provided with nutritious food in exchange for donating blood, so it was practically paradise for the lower class who had nothing.
-Want to make easy money? It’s over in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea! No side effects and perfect aftercare guaranteed!
-Accumulate blood donation points and receive various benefits! From daily necessities to luxury housing, there are plenty of gifts!
-Preferably healthy, unmarried men and women in their early twenties. Additional payments based on various conditions.
Not only were there blood donation centers everywhere, but even government offices had flyers promoting it.
It was literally a world where you could live comfortably just by selling your blood regularly.
‘And if we use blood magic, we can accelerate the donors’ recovery. We can draw blood more frequently than usual.’
They even promised national rewards for model citizens who consistently donated blood, and they even provided a one-on-one matching service with vampires who were looking for specific types of blood...
Literally, ‘blood donation centers’ were becoming the center of the New Talia Kingdom’s system.
‘But those with high-demand blood, like young and healthy beautiful women, will be treated even better... It can’t be helped. It’s not a big problem.’
Of course, if a country just kept handing out welfare like this, its economy would collapse, but the Talia Kingdom ruled by Heinz Hybrid the Second was different.
“Hmm, good. Good work, Briki.”
“You appreciate it? I think I worked hard this time...”
“Then rest a bit and take care of the rest of the regions. There are still many left. One day should be enough, right?”
“...You’re still so self-centered...”
And so, Hybrid strengthened its foundation as a nation on the surface, adapting to the changed system, and secretly expanded its power by absorbing vampires scattered throughout the continent.
But there was one place Heinz the Second was keeping a close eye on, waiting for an opportunity.
Naturally, it was the remaining one of the three strongest vampire clans.
The eastern part of the continent, the Zepia Republic, where the Obaifo Clan was based.

Chirp, chirp— Chirp—
A peaceful morning, with all sorts of birds singing beautifully.
“Greetings, Harris. Good morning.”
“Harris, try this fruit I just picked.”
“Peace be with you. The weather is lovely today.”
‘Harris Granwood’, who had become a new High Elf in the Elven Kingdom, was walking through the royal palace, the only structure connected to the World Tree, receiving everyone’s warm welcome.
“Hahaha, thank you. May the World Tree’s grace be with you all.”
As expected of a High Elf.
It hadn’t even been long since he awakened, and he hadn’t even shown them anything yet, but the Elves here were showing him infinite favor.
‘Well, it can’t be helped. The physical proof of God is standing tall right next to them, and High Elves are practically his priests.’
But he didn’t feel bad about being treated like this.
To be honest... he had become so used to being revered that he was now naturally accepting it.
‘Anyway, I’ve only heard about this place, it’s my first time here. Let’s see... where the gardeners live...’
There was a reason why he was heading this way.
He had heard something interesting while learning about the basics of being a High Elf with Cecily today.
And so, Harris personally came here, where the ‘gardeners’ who managed the World Tree lived, as soon as his lessons were over to confirm it himself.
‘I greeted the Elf who’s their leader after awakening. This is my first time visiting them directly.’
The World Tree’s gardeners were in a position similar to priests or monks, and they were those who devoted themselves solely to serving the World Tree, not interfering in any other worldly matters.
Even though the World Tree was the avatar of God, he was still in the form of a tree and manifested on this land, so it was better to have someone manage him.
‘But it’s the World Tree, so there probably isn’t much to manage. Well, if it wasn’t for that, how many people would it take to manage a tree of this size...’
So their main task was to periodically fly around and check for any abnormalities and collect the withered branches that the World Tree naturally pruned.
“Oh, isn’t that Harris? What brings a High Elf here...”
“Greetings. I’ve become a High Elf thanks to the World Tree’s grace, so I thought I should personally greet those who serve him most closely.”
“Oh...! To think you would think of us...”
And that was the reason why Harris came here.
It meant that a lot of the World Tree’s branches, even though they were withered and their ley lines were severed, were piled up here!
“...So, would it be okay for me to look around your workplace?”
“Of course. I’ll guide you. Not many are left because they’re on shift, but everyone else will be happy to see you.”
“Hahaha, I hope I’m not bothering you.”
And in his gently curved eyes,
Unlike his usual lazy self, Harris’s eyes were busily scanning the surroundings, burning with desire.
