The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 99

This can only be described as the obsession of the vampires, the very foundation of their sense of psychological superiority, something they would rather die than change.

But what practical use do these elaborate gowns have? If you had to say—you could barely count them.

For example, vampire girls prefer black nylon stockings made with modern techniques.

A pair of meticulously crafted black pantyhose not only accentuates their perfect figures but also protects their feet from direct sunlight. They can also be customized with a variety of patterns, making them the only thing that upper-class vampire women agree on when it comes to dressing up.

Even without formal dresses, they can no longer live without black stockings.

It's worth mentioning that vampires don't have a metabolism, so their feet don't have any hygiene issues.

...

Ludwig: "Don't, don't stare... If you keep looking, I'll kick you!"

Yin Shang: "I didn't even check properly!"

Ye Liuli: "Actually, I also had a dress custom-made, but I'm always on missions and never have a chance to wear it. I really don't understand vampires who fight in dresses. Don't they find it troublesome? Cleaning and repairing them is even more troublesome."

Ruo Keke: "I have one too, but the maid uniform suits me better."

Luo Qina: "People don't know those things, they only know that the socks are very comfortable to wear."

Yin Shang: "So can someone explain why nun's clothes are also..."

----------

...

"Okay, that's about it. Any questions?"

The princess strolled over to Yin Shang's side.

"What about you?"

Yin Shang blushed and said, "N-nothing!"

"Haha, that's good."

She chuckled softly and patted the dozing cat on Yin Shang's head to wake it up.

"Hoo-hoo?" Reinhardt scratched his head.

...

"Wake up, little kitty."

"Next up is the artifact spirit... It's your turn to be the model, okay?"

"Originally, I wanted to personally take part in the fight, but after careful consideration, I decided against it; that would be too boring."

Chapter 106 The Secrets of the Artifact Spirit

...

"Alright, alright, be good. We'll arrange separate rooms for you and your brother Yin on the journey."

"it is good!"

Yin Shang heard Ling Xi and Solid's conversation without missing a single word. Ling Xi looked over with a mischievous grin, clearly indicating that she was talking to him.

Yin Shang knew that saying anything now would be useless, since he was already staying in a single room.

And Solid could, of course, become Reinhardt and rightfully share a room with him.

Although Lingxi may seem to be talking nonsense, what she really means is:

I promise that Solid and Entropy will not be separated.

At this moment, Yin Shang's vision had already gone black, and his face was deathly pale.

...

"Ahem, Lingxi's Spirit Weapon Science Class is now in session!"

[The Body of a Spirit]

The spirit of a vessel is not a spirit body, but a living being with flesh and blood, but not a "biological being" in the traditional sense.

By using various summoning rituals that lead to the same goal, one can use objects with supernatural powers as carriers and supernatural powers as a foundation, and supplement them with various "custom" elements, to "summon" a living spirit according to the summoner's wishes.

But the essence of "spirit summoning" is that it is considered taboo on both the scientific and magical sides—[androids].

All things in the world revolve and are born endlessly, but the spirits of objects are not in this cycle, because they are created life forms and do not have souls. Therefore, they cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation after death, and their will will dissipate along with their bodies.

The ritual catalyzes supernatural power into a physical body, and then uses the power of the object itself to give the body a self, thus the spirit of the object is born.

Summoners can form various contracts with spirits to ensure their loyalty; they can even imprint the contract into the spirit's flesh and blood during the summoning process, making them unable to resist their master for eternity.

Once the spirit's body is summoned, it loses its "plasticity" and is born as a real, existing life. Therefore, many "customization" steps can only be carried out during the "human transmutation" stage, and once completed, it cannot be "re-made".

The final effect of the spirit's body is not only closely related to the object itself, but also closely related to the summoner's shaping.

For example, Lingxi's body is a spirit girl formed from the Holy Grail, modeled after humans, and therefore does not have the characteristics of a vampire. Her current vampire appearance is just a disguise.

Under Lingxi's personal manipulation, Lochina used her dark power to corrupt and repair the God-Slaying Spear Longinus, and then used the blood of the Vampire Queen to construct a body, thus giving birth to a vampire girl who was somewhat similar to the Vampire Queen in personality, preferences and even appearance, possessing all the characteristics and weaknesses of vampires.

...

Solid: "Then, what about me?"

Yin Shang: "What about Solid?"

Lochina: "What about Sister Solid?"

Ye Liuli: "That..."

Lingxi: "I'm angry, okay?"

----------

[Has a foundation]

The spirit of an artifact relies on its physical body and supernatural power for its existence; neither can be dispensed with. Although the spirit can be separated from its physical body for a long time, it will also fall into a dangerous state of being unable to replenish its energy. Once the energy used to maintain the physical body is exhausted, the spirit will vanish into nothingness.

However, there is one way to prevent the spirit from dissipating—

That is, to possess a soul.

The body of a spirit is merely a physical form imbued with the will of an object; it is essentially an empty shell without a soul.

Once a soul is successfully merged with the will of a weapon spirit, it will represent another significant step forward on the path of "forbiddenness":

A spirit vessel with a soul is born.

With the bondage of the soul, the body will no longer dissipate rapidly upon separation from the physical form; and the spirit's will can endure as long as the body exists.

The new entity born from this fusion is usually not comparable to the entity before the fusion.

Because it is a combination of the two, it will have the thinking patterns and memories of both. The interweaving of different memories will trigger a violent "chemical reaction". Therefore, this "1+1" is much greater than 2.

The Famine Knight, born from the power of the Apocalypse Knight, entrusted his body and memories to a dying human as his power was about to dissipate.

Over the years, the existence of "Yang Lingxi" gradually integrated her body and soul, eventually becoming the current Princess Lingxi.

Reinhardt, born from the Holy Sword, relied entirely on the Holy Sword and...

It was born from the holy light power inherent within it.

On the verge of dissipation, it chose to merge its will with the soul of the dying nun. As the will survived, it released all its power to heal the severely damaged nun's body, inadvertently transforming it into a spirit form.

Finally, she became the Holy Light Spirit Nun who now possesses two forms and can switch between them at will.

...

Lingxi: "Solid is a one-of-a-kind miracle. If bad people find out about her, well... hmph."

Yin Shang: "Like you?"

Solid: She, she's not a bad person... Waaah—"

Ludwig: "This big-breasted nun doesn't seem very bright."

Coco: "How rude!"

Ludwig: "She's always finding different ways to cling to that idiot knight, so I think she..."

Ye Liuli: "What do you know? Shut up."

----------

[Connection with the Main Body]

Spirits can usually store their true form inside a body, but they themselves can't explain how they put it in or what state it is in afterward.

In short, some guys (spirits) later discovered that they could even stuff other supernatural objects into their bodies.

The spirit's physical form can provide energy for its existence within the body. Even if it is removed from the body, as long as the body remains in contact, the energy supply will not be affected in the slightest.

Reinhardt is an exception that cannot store its main body inside its body, but what is even more exceptional is that it can act independently of its main body for a long time.

This is not a common ability. For example, Lingxi and Luoqina would become weak if they were separated from their physical bodies for an extended period of time. Their energy would be rapidly depleted, making it impossible for them to maintain their physical existence.

After completing the fusion, Solid Reinhardt severed her connection with the original body, becoming a spirit without a physical form.

But she was still able to reconnect with her original body, and even—she became able to store the original holy sword into her body.

Lingxi guessed that this was because the original cat's size couldn't fit the Holy Sword, but she had no problem turning back into a cat after putting away the Holy Sword—this still puzzled Lingxi.

Furthermore, for the spirit, the physical body is an absolute weakness.

Once the physical body is shattered, it means that the spirit's will will be torn apart and die on the spot.

If it were someone like Lochina or Solid whose true form is a combat weapon, it wouldn't matter, but it's different for Lingxi.

Her true form is a delicate and fragile metal Holy Grail, and just taking it out makes her very uneasy. It took her a long time to overcome this sense of shame.

...

Ludwig: "Is it okay to tell us something like this?"

Yin Shang: "Exactly."

Lingxi: "You can't beat this prince either? Want to give it a try?"

Ye Liuli: "Let me try?"

Lingxi: "Hmph, next time come to my room for a one-on-one fight. On the bed."

----------

...

"It's finally...it's finally over."

Solid returned to Yin Shang's side, feeling dizzy.

Being stared at by a group of people and poked around with a cane by the princess was something she, like Ludwig, couldn't handle at all.

"Alright, that concludes our impromptu lesson. Hope you all get along well on your journey!"

Lingxi flicked her wrist, and the pointer in her hand vanished without a trace.

"Now, let's set off together."

She pushed open the door, glanced back at the crowd, and a mixture of pride and slight sorrow flashed in her eyes.

"Go to the hiding place I prepared for her and pay homage to her. Pay homage to the eternal queen of the vampires..."

"...My Queen, Siriote."

...

...

...

In her hiding place, the petite, silver-haired queen sat quietly in the silent darkness.

She remained expressionless, leaning back in her chair, completely still.

Her eyes were vacant as she stared at the stars in the night sky outside the window.

Her clothes were no longer splendid, for she no longer knew for whom she needed to adorn herself.
