“I’m begging you, could you please just leave a corpse fully intact for the researchers? Just one will do!” the annoying nuisance of an annoying pain in the ass researcher in front of me says for the fourth time as I sit in the chair in the middle of a lovely courtyard located at a home I bought with the money I’ve been amassing. A nice, large house standing at four floors and bordering on a mansion with a large swimming pool in the backyard.
I shush the guy with a scowl while glancing down at Aria who is sleeping on my lap with her head and shoulder resting against me, making sure he didn’t wake her. Then I look back up at him and tell him, quietly, of course, “I’ve told you this once and I will tell you again. I will not waste the blood of the demons I kill, much less Nobles. Despite their attacking of us, they are still sapient beings and shouldn’t have their corpses defiled for experimentation.”
The guy just won’t learn.
I’m already fighting on the side of the humans and killing the demons that I’m technically a princess of. So I’m not just gonna go and let the humans experiment and treat the demons I kill as nothing but lab experiments.
That would just be cruel to the demons who practically worship me.
Besides. Their blood makes for good fuel for my skills, and I know the demons would be happy to know that their blood is being used for my skills even if I kill them.
A few of them have even said it to me themselves. Which was kind of creepy.
“Yeah…” Tar mutters, sounding creeped out as he no doubt remembers those… bizarre times.
“But please, Lady Archeron, the full corpses of Noble demons would advance-” the nuisance continues, making me cut him off with a scowl. And to add to my intimidation factor, I make blood rain slowly begin to fall around us at a very light amount before controlling the blood to float around the two of us in the air.
The researcher from the newly created Researchers Union made up of the remnants of the old union clears his throat, the old looking man saying, “Ah-hem, my apologies Lady Archeron, but I need to be leaving now.”
Right. Sure you do.
I watch him quickly make his way out with a raised brow, then I turn my attention back to Aria who is peacefully sleeping on my lap.
Now that he’s gone, I stuff the blood into my Bloodwell Keep, finding the storage skill capable of holding a lot more blood than my old Blood Bank skill could. Even though it’s not a skill focused on blood.
Which is rather convenient.
I always wanted a storage skill, and it’s really nice to finally have one.
Speaking of skills, I glance at my status while lightly playing with Aria’s hair, making sure not to wake her in the process.
