CH.61 Aiming for Vampires
<span style="font-weight:400">I followed Lucia towards her house. Or is it Prime Rib’s house? Well, that doesn’t really matter.
<span style="font-weight:400">The house was only a few blocks away from the guild building. It looked like any other two storey house in town. For an adventurer’s house, it was decentlyrge. Well, I guess Prime Rib is the second highest ranking party in town.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucia used a key to open the front door and we went inside.
<span style="font-weight:400">The downstairs had arge open room with a kitchen space and a table. Minimal decor for a house. There were stairs leading to, well up stairs, and a couple of doors to other rooms. We sat down at the table.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, we are here. What did you want to give me?” She asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Before I do, can I ask another question?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Go for it.” Lucia answered.
<span style="font-weight:400">“How did you know I helped Alice?” I asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, that. I was asked to perform blood magic on her a little over a year back. Her teacher wanted to know what were her strongest attributes, but this town doesn’t have a ce to test them. But I can do it with blood magic.” She told me.
<span style="font-weight:400">“And you realized she didn’t have a strong enough of an attribute to use magic, correct?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes, and I told her teacher. But I also remember her strongest ones being wind and earth. There is no way she could have grown her dark magic enough to use it. Without some outside interference. You showed up in town and just a few dayster, Miss Alice was using dark magic. There is no way that is a coincidence. Especially since you were staying at the Watchman manor.” She gave me her theory.
<span style="font-weight:400">Wow. She really saw straight through me. Not that it was that difficult, but it’s still impressive.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I would give you the perfect score, but this is not a test.” I told her. “I did interfere with Alice’s attributes. And I could do it to you as well, if you want me to.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I don’t need it.” She answered.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You don’t want light magic?” I asked. “I could also boost your water magic, if you prefer that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I Don’t Need It.” She said slowly, emphasizing her words. “You are the one that taught me that. I don’t need approval from others. Only from myself.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I guess I did say something like that.
<span style="font-weight:400">“That doesn’t mean you need to refuse.” I told her.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then let’s do this.” She offered. “If you can cure my curse, I’ll let you do whatever you want with me.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, that’s certainly an offer.” I’m pretty sure she didn’t consider what she just said. “Are you sure you are fine with Anything?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“.... nothing lewd.” She added.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Deal.” Now I just need a vampire. Let’s go!

<span style="font-weight:400">(Laura, what sets had vampire cards?) I asked so I don’t have to go through the card lists.
<span style="font-weight:400">(‘Dark Crisis’ has ‘Vampire Lord’, ‘Ancient Sanctuary’ has ‘Vampire Lady’ and ‘Dark Beginning 1’ has ‘Vampire Baby’. But I don’t believe ‘Vampire Baby’ can do what Master would want it to do. You should open ‘Ancient Sanctuary’ first and move to ‘Dark Crisis’ if you get the ‘Vampire Lady’.)
<span style="font-weight:400">(Sounds like a n, but why?)
<span style="font-weight:400">(‘Vampire Lady’ ismon, but ‘Vampire Lord’ is secret rare. Chances of Master getting one are a lot lower.)
<span style="font-weight:400">(Then, I’ll go with your n.) Laura is always on top of these things.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Lucia, I’m going to try to get a Vampire card now, do you want to watch?” I asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You can start without me. I’ll make you some tea.” She answered.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You have tea? In this house?” I confirmed. I would love some, but that’s unexpected.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Zay and Alex like having it in the morning.” She told me. Men of culture. And tea.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sure, I’ll start alone then.”
<span style="font-weight:400">After Lucia went to heat up some water, I got busy opening packs. I have a ton of pack tokens. What do you mean 21 isn’t a ton? It’s the winning hand in ck jack, so you can get a ton of money with it.

<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m back. Here’s your tea.” Lucia said to me as she set a cup of tea in front of me.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thank you, Lua.” I said to her.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course. You are trying to help me, after all. Did you get what you wanted?” She asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Not yet. My luck is terrible today.” I told her. Honestly. How difficult is it to get themon you want?
<span style="font-weight:400">“Can you show me now?” She asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sure, Open.” I tried to open my skill for her to see by just saying open, while I already had it up. And it worked. Convenience.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Pack 16 here we go.” I said and continued.

<span style="font-weight:400">“THERE IT IS!” I yelled out of excitement. 19 packs. For amon card. This is crazy.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nice.” Lucia said next to me. “Let’s try it out right away.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“We could, but I still have two more pack tokens. We could try for a higher ranking vampire as well. It won’t take long.” I offered.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Fine. I’ll wait a little longer.” She gave in.
<span style="font-weight:400">Time to change set.

<span style="font-weight:400">Two tries. Let’s get the other vampire.

[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Well no Vampire Lord for me. Did get Skill Drain and Final Countdown. Those might be useful. I still have the reprints, but let’s do thoseter.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, we didn’t get the lord, but at least we got thedy.” I said to Lucia.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Will you summon her now?” She asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Just a second. I need to make a sleeve for her.” Well, actually a toploader, but same difference.
<span style="font-weight:400">2x Absorbing Kid from the Sky, 2x Arcane Archer of the Forest, Aswan Apparition, Atomic Firefly, 3x Beckoning Light, 2x Blessings of the Nile, Delta Attacker, 2x Desertapir, Dora of Fate, 4x Dust Barrier, 5x Emissary of the Oasis, Flower Wolf
<span style="font-weight:400">25 sacrifices for a sleeve and toploaderbo.
<span style="font-weight:400">(Laura, apply the sleeve and toploader onto the Vampire Lady.)
<span style="font-weight:400">(Of course, Master.)
<span style="font-weight:400">I grabbed the toploader Vampire Lady from my skill. I hope this works.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Lucia, are you ready?” I asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I think so.” She answered. “I’ve dreamed of the day my curse would be lifted, but I honestly didn’t think that day would evere.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, today is the day of miracles for you.” I told her as I activated my DiaDhank. I put the Vampire Lady on it and said: “I summon Vampire Lady.”
<span style="font-weight:400">A tallish woman with blue skin and green hair appeared. She wore a purple dress and had purple wingsing out from her lower back. In all honesty, I’m not sure I would call her beautiful or creepy.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lucia was looking at her with her eyes wide. I think she was muttering something, but I couldn’t hear it.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Master, you have called on me.” She greeted me.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hello. Yes, I need you to cure the blood curse on Lucia. Can you do it?” I asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“The blood curse of a dhampir? I’ve never done it, but I can try.” She said to me.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Lucia, what do you think? Do you want to try?” I asked her.
<span style="font-weight:400">She pondered for a second before answering.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes, let’s do it.”
