Chapter 718 Entering the Core

as borrowed by her and promised to go to the county to work and earn it back.Zhou Rainmother didn't want the matter of her harshly treating her third son to become a big deal, so in the end, she could...Shiju heard the repairman's advice and immediately went to find Cen, the head of their task department.

"Director Cen, the current situation is like this. I want to apply for using the backup workstation."

"The backup workstation is an old program and is not usually activated unless there are special circumstances."

Director Cen frowned and said.

If the backup workbench is enabled, it would surprise a lot of people.

"So how can I contact Lianyi The last message I sent her was inaccurate because the mission system was hacked. If she acted on my messages and dealt with those people, not only would it not prevent the dimensional collapse, but it might even cause it to happen sooner."

This is what the grindstone worries about. You see, if an executor causes a world plane to collapse during a mission, they will bear the consequences of all that happens. A world plane has billions of lives, while an executor is only a soul. If a world plane collapses, even their soul will be destroyed.

Before this, a tasker made a wrong judgment, causing the Heavenly Tribulation to arrive prematurely. This tasker almost had their soul and body destroyed, plummeting from a high-level tasker back down to an entry-level one. This was only because they had merit from completing tasks as compensation; otherwise, they would have instantly dissipated.

Although he managed to keep his soul, this tasker ultimately chose to reincarnate after completing a certain amount of tasks. He remained only a junior-level tasker until his reincarnation, which shows how serious the consequences can be.

Director Cen pulled up his own work panel and took a look at all of the past tasks of the Ripple Ancestor from the tasker. Many of the expressions on his face relaxed, he said to Shiu:

Based on my understanding of this operative, she'd definitely guess something went wrong with your end when you suddenly cut off contact. So the data you sent last might not be accepted by her.

You should trust your taskmaster, so don't rush to activate the backup workbench for now. Contact her after your work surface is repaired and give her some time.

“Okay, if there’s danger on the Tasker’s side, please make sure to bring Ripple back safely, Director.”

The stone mill immediately said.

"Okay, you can relax. I'm here."

After Stone Mill left, Director Cen immediately contacted another director of the same level:

"Ajiu, I've had five missions interfered with here. Any progress on your end Have you found anything"

There are some leads now. It seems the source river of life that Jian Shengzhu previously merged with has caused problems. After all, it wasn't something he cultivated himself, so some of the small worlds within it have been tampered with by someone.

The Lord has been dealing with these matters lately, and your department's tasks are the least problematic. The entire Combat Department has been at war for a thousand years, and now that the second batch of reinforcements has gone up, it is estimated that they won't be able to attend to your side for a while. You need to spend more thought and attention on your department.

"I understand. I'll keep an eye on my people. If you get any news, be sure to let me know so I can respond accordingly."

"Okay."

Director Cen, worried and troubled, cut off contact with his old friend and continued to pull out the five problematic mission assignments. He began to examine them one by one.

And at this time, Ripples had traveled for three days and three nights by carriage and finally arrived at the vampire's holy land. She could clearly feel that upon entering here, a peculiar power resonated with the power within her body. Countless images flashed before her eyes, though only for a brief moment, it gave her a profound understanding of vampire history.

“This is the power of this sacred land, giving every member of the tribe a sense of belonging.”

Count Lance explained with a smile.

"It's my honor."

Ripple replied calmly, at the same time recalling the history of vampires in her mind.

"What is Lord Pat like Is he strict What should I prepare for"

Ripple pretended to be a little nervous.

"Don't worry, Lord Pat is the actual ruler of our clan at present. There are usually three dukes in office within the clan. One always remains in the Holy Land, while the other two operate in the human world: one overtly interacts with other races."

"And as for Lord Patten, he has been guarding the Holy Land for a century. He's just and fair, so you have nothing to worry about."

"Hoping to gain the recognition of the marquis."

Lans walked in with Ripples to a magnificent estate. In a glasshouse filled with red roses, they met Lord Pat.

Lord Pat was very young, only in his thirties. He had fair skin, a head of naturally curly reddish-brown hair that he wore tied back, and a handsome, three-dimensional face. He was tall and elegant in every movement.

Lord Patte lowered his trowel, took off his gloves, revealing his white, slender hand, and clasped it with Ripples. Then he walked to the round table in the greenhouse and smiled at Ripples, saying:

Welcome, beautiful girl!

"It is an honor to meet you, Your Grace."

Ripples immediately laughed in response.

"Sit down and talk."

Rill, like water flowing to good, sat across from Lord Pat.

"Have you heard that you don't know who your 'father' is"

Pat poured herself a cup of tea elegantly and then asked with a smile,

"Yes, I've been living in an orphanage since I can remember. When I was sixteen and able to support myself, I left the orphanage. As for how I ended up in the bio-creation company's lab, I don't remember anything about it."

Ripples sighed.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

"I heard about this from Lance. He said your power is no less than his, at least proving that the one who transformed you was a count. And I know almost all the counts in our bloodline, so I should be able to help you find your 'father'."

Pat took a sip of her tea and said with a smile.

"Really That's great! What should I do"

Ripple immediately questioned.

"Give me a drop of your blood."

"Okay."

Ripple's sharp nails raked across her finger, drawing a thin bead of bruised red blood.

When the blood bead was exposed to the air, Pat twitched his nose, frowned, and with a thought, the blood bead on Ripple's finger drifted into his mouth, while the wound on Ripple's finger instantly healed.

The next second, Pat's eyes turned completely red. He stared at Ripple in surprise and said:

You're actually a descendant of Lilith!

"Your Majesty, Queen Lilith of the Night"

Ripples was also surprised. He didn't expect this bioengineering company to be so capable, actually obtaining Lilith's blood. After all, she was one of the progenitors of the vampire clan.

"Yes, it seems that while we were unaware, the Queen has chosen you."

A smile spread across Lord Pat's face, softening his tone.

A ripple of a smile played at the corners of her lips. She thought her disguise was quite good, after all, she had a high starting point. It would be easier for her to stir things up within the vampire ranks.

"I think Her Majesty realized the crisis of the blood race, so she allowed me to complete the bloodline transformation at that time, escaping from the cage and bringing me to the holy land of the blood race to fight for them."ons won't be able to get to us. In fact, being together now makes it even easier for them to capture all of us at once.""When the transmission hall opens in a while, that'll be their best chance to at...
