RISE OF EROS

After the woman's murmur, an older voice was immediately heard beside her, "I hope you're not thinking of doing anything stupid." The veiled woman looked at the old woman sitting next to her with annoyance but did not say anything.

The old woman, although she could not see the woman's expression, knew her too well not to notice how she looked at her so she continued to reprimand her, "Do you understand the territory we are in?"

"You are an annoying geezer. I understand, I will not do anything, I do not want to bother that old vampire, it would be a nuisance," the veiled woman replied angrily. The old woman looked at the woman for a few seconds and without any change said, "As long as you understand."

These two women do not really get along badly, it's just that the old woman is very cautious and the veiled woman is too impulsive, so they always end up clashing due to their differences when making their movements.

What can be said about these women is that they were not normal, as they had managed to enter the city without being noticed. It's true that Zaros isn't always watching over the town, but he would definitely notice special characters.

That was the reason he managed to sense Andrew, but somehow these two women managed to get in undetected. Plus, they seemed to know him and didn't want to offend him.

After the discussion, the two women remained silent and seconds later they disappeared as if they had never been there. No one noticed them, nor did they care about their disappearance.

On the other hand, Andrew and the others were enjoying the tea and snacks. They had already given up on the idea of ​​finding what Damon's father wanted, as they didn't have enough information.

Plus, they couldn't go out right now. It wasn't that they were being restricted, but there were too many eyes on them, not to mention that Damon was probably watching them as well.

While Oliver had scared away those watching them outside the inn, it wouldn't be long before a new group gathered. These people for information are persistent and even if Oliver warned them, they would look again.

It's not that they don't fear death, it's just that they know that if Andrew and the others really kill them, they'll be in a lot of trouble. Even though Damon had visited them cordially, they wouldn't stay quiet if a mass murder appeared even if it was Andrew.

At least this was what they thought and even Andrew and the others thought the same. They believed that no ruler would want such a disturbance to occur in their territory, so they wouldn't attack. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

Ironically, Damon and his family wouldn't really care if Andrew killed all these people. To them, these spies are just flies and if they're annoying, killing them isn't a problem.

Also, the one who said that Andrew was a special guest was Zaros. That man doesn't bestow such a title on just anyone, so to Damon, Andrew is 1,000 times more important than these opportunistic fools.

Damon was the one who understood these people the best. He knew they weren't there to hurt Andrew, they just wanted to know how they had managed to get his attention, to do the same and get close to him.

Obviously, not everyone had this thought, but those who really planned something, wouldn't show themselves so openly. It was those that Damon and his wife were watching from the shadows.

The hours passed quickly and the carriage that Damon had mentioned he would send had arrived at the inn. Although more discreet than the one Damon used when he visited them, it was still a luxury carriage and the familiar earpiece on the side didn't make it very discreet either.

Despite the attention they attracted, Andrew got into the carriage with determination. He couldn't show himself weak, so with Aki hugging his right arm and Zany hugging his left, they got into the carriage.

Oliver was the last to get in, as he first assessed that no one dangerous was in the vicinity. The carriage was surrounded by a small group of guards, showing the city Andrew's importance to the Pixoy family.

The journey wasn't long and within a few minutes, they arrived at the grounds of the Pixoy family mansion. As they got out of the carriage, Andrew had to admit that this mansion had something special.

He had visited several mansions and even castles, but this mansion seemed to have an aura around it. Andrew couldn't understand what it was, so he even used his Eros eyes to see what it was, and he was then shocked by what he saw.

It wasn't just an aura that surrounded this house, but at its center, there seemed to be something extremely powerful. Divinity was pouring out of that place like a tidal wave and even though it was sealed, it was clearly visible.

Damon who had gone out with his wife to greet Andrew was confused as Andrew looked in surprise into the distance at the mansion. "Is something wrong?" Damon asked cautiously, awakening Andrew from his stupefaction.

"No… It's nothing, just a little distracted," Andrew replied, putting on a slightly nervous smile. Damon, even though he knew Andrew was lying, didn't say anything, and pointing at his wife he introduced her, "This is my wife, Abigale."

Like any noble lady, Abigale bowed slightly as if welcoming them and Andrew returned the greeting by introducing his companions, "When the duke visited us I couldn't introduce them. This little lady is Aki, my wife. This other beautiful Amazon is also my wife and you already know Oliver, he's our guard."

Both Damon and Abigale greeted everyone politely and Damon even joked, "I see that young Andrew is a romantic." The small humorous comment made everyone smile, relaxing the atmosphere a little and then they entered the mansion.

As in any mansion, the luxuries were evident and the number of servants was high. The surprising thing is that all the servants inside the mansion were vampires.

It wasn't difficult for Andrew and Oliver to notice them. While vampires are very similar to humans, their aura is very different and in the eyes of these two, they were easily identified.

It's not that it's abnormal for a noble vampire family to have vampire servants, but from everything they'd heard about this place, everyone seemed to know that the Pixoy family were vampires, but apparently, all of their vampire servants were unknown.

Although curious, Andrew didn't make any comment. They walked through the majestic halls of the mansion until they reached a room with a huge door.

Damon approached and said, "Father, young Andrew is here," and seconds later the door slowly opened revealing its interior. It was a rather modest study for the majesty of the door.

Make no mistake, it's quite luxurious, but not ostentatious. If you don't know much about fine quality, you'd think it was quite plain, but in reality, there wasn't a single object in that place that wasn't valuable, it just didn't stand out.

Despite all this, neither Andrew nor any of his companions were looking at the room, as they all focused their gazes on the old man in front of them. Zaros was there calmly drinking wine with a relaxed look.

Andrew and Oliver who had special eyes could immediately see the divinity surrounding Zaros and began to sweat coldly. Zaros was on the same level as Elidyr, so it was a problem.

Zaros seeing them frozen, smiled showing his characteristic vampire fangs, and said, "Relax, I am not an enemy. In fact, I am an old friend of the liquid spirit Elidyr, I think you should know him, right?"

Upon hearing Elidyr's name, Andrew and the others were surprised, but instead of making them relax, on the contrary, made them more tense. Zaros obviously noticing this, chuckled and said, "It seems that what Elidyr said was true, you are very cautious and distrustful."

Pausing, Zaros added, "Well, that's not bad, but rest assured, I won't hurt you, I just want to talk. Why don't you come in and sit down?" Hearing him being polite, Andrew took a few deep breaths and calmed down a bit.

There was no need to be nervous because he was here now and there was no way to escape, so he had to face whatever came his way. Andrew began to walk into the study and Oliver and Andrew's wives did the same, but then Zaros said, "Can it be private?"

The request was not well received, especially by Oliver, but Andrew raised his hand and said, "It is fine. Duke Pixoy, can I ask you to entertain them?" to which Damon replied smiling, "There is no need to ask. We were the ones who invited them, they will be well taken care of."

In this way, everyone left and in the study, only Zaros and Andrew remained. The ancient vampire made a gesture inviting Andrew to sit down and he did so, then the doors of the room closed as if they had an automatic closing device.

As the doors closed, the room fell silent and both Zaros and Andrew looked at each other as if trying to size the other up. In the end, it was Zaros who broke the silence saying, "You are brave and cautious, I see why that old Elidyr holds you in such high regard, candidate for god Eros."

Andrew was not surprised that Zaros knew about his identity, but he still narrowed his eyes. Zaros noticing this laughed and as if remembering something said, "Oh, how careless of me, I have not introduced myself. I am Zaros Pixoy a pleasure young Andrew."

"The pleasure is mine your honor, but I am sorry to be disrespectful. I assume that as a friend of old Elidyr you know a lot about me, but what is the reason for this meeting?" said Andrew firmly.

Zaros saw Andrew trying to act tough, and smiled, and although a little impressed, he didn't reveal it, instead he began to explain, "It's simple. We have a fallen god who could be reborn and you are the only god candidate in this world, I just want to be your ally."
