Chapter 263 Sincerity
Why did Finn Ernest value the coming-of-age ceremony of these vampires so much?
Chen Feng’s heart was filled with many other similar questions, but he did not ask them at this time. Instead, he planned to wait until this matter was over before finding another time to ask him about it.
About ten minutes later.
The group of vampires in front of Chen Feng finished their coming-of-age ceremony. Under the host’s blessings, they draped the cloak on the tray in front of the girl onto themselves and bowed to the host before lining up to leave.
Just then, Finn Ernest told Chen Feng, “Team leader, are you interested in participating in the upcoming ceremony?”.
“The process that you’re seeing right now is actually just the first step in the vampire coming-of-age ritual.”
“The symbolic meaning of the ceremony is actually greater than its actual meaning. All the actions that we vampires have done to accumulate strength before we reach adulthood, as well as the merits we have exchanged them for, will be honored in the next ritual!”
“That meaningful ritual is the most important part of a vampire’s coming-of-age ritual. It’s also a secret that vampires never tell others.”
“This is also the biggest secret behind the reason why vampires can never survive on their own!
“Similarly, this is also the reason why the members of our vampire race have not gone extinct despite having faced immense pressure for thousands of years!”
Chen Feng turned his head to look at Finn Ernest’s serious expression. He could not help but feel surprised and happy.
“If it’s such an important secret, then it’s definitely better to keep it safe. Why did you tell me about it?” Chen Feng asked curiously.
Chen Feng was not the type of person to ask about things that he did not understand.
However, Finn Ernest’s reaction today was really strange.
He was happy that Finn Ernest was willing to share such important information with him. He was truly treating him like part of his family!
After hearing Chen Feng’s words, Finn Ernest smiled at him.
“The reason why I decided to tell you about this now is naturally because of your series of arrangements, team leader. It allowed me to think of the changes that will happen in the future.”
“As a part of the vampire race, I feel that it’s normal for me to have a sense of belonging toward my race.”
“Therefore, I hope that when that new world order is re-established, the vampire race will be in a good position.” “After all, the gamified world is something that no one could have predicted. Since the start of the gaming world, we have established quite a good friendship.” “From my point of view, I feel that you are someone that’s very important to me. You’re a team leader that I can trust deeply.”
“Therefore, I hope to inform you of the secret of the vampire race.”
“To be honest, team leader, I’m already numb to the rate at which your strength increases because it doesn’t seem like something an ordinary person can achieve.”
“The official system of the game had issued a series of announcements in the past few days. I understand that the mysterious expert who had chosen to hide his name must be you.”
“With such a capable team leader, what else can I not say?”
“Why? Do you still think that I can’t be considered your teammate? Is there anything within the vampire race that you would attempt to scheme against?”
After hearing this, Chen Feng laughed from the bottom of his heart. Although these words were the truth, he had already made up his mind. However, when these words came out of his mouth, the meaning behind them was completely different from what his team members were saying.
Chen Feng was currently enjoying the interactions between himself and his team members.
Therefore, Chen Feng was even more unwilling to give up on such a method. “Alright, I understand your intentions. In that case, let’s go. Of course, I’m very interested in the secret rituals of vampires.”
Chen Feng walked forward and patted Finn Ernest on the shoulder. He then stood by the side and waited for everything to end although it was just a superficial ritual.
Just then, Blake was also quietly waiting by the side to watch the ritual in front of him. He simply watched the ritual as he did not understand the significance of these actions.
Regardless of everything, this was a way to broaden his horizons.
Not long after, all the vampires who were preparing for the coming-of-age ceremony had completed the ritual.
After that, the elder hosting the ceremony stood up and walked to Chen Feng’s side.
“Hello, nice to meet you!” The vampire who presided over the ritual said.
“Hello!” Chen Feng replied.
“Team leader! The person in front of you is a member of our group of vampire elders. His name is Robertson Bartlett,” Finn Ernest introduced him to Chen Feng.
“Oh, hello, Robertson Bartlett.”
After that, Robertson Butler looked at Chen Feng and slowly said, “It seems like you’re Chen Feng, whom Finn Ernest often talks about.”
“I, as well as everyone in the group of vampire elders, have been waiting for you here for a long time. You are finally here today.”
“We have actually reached an initial agreement. If you can move our hearts, we are willing to help you complete the ritual.””
“Of course, these things can only be done with your approval and support.”
Robertson Bartlett said slowly. He had a very sincere expression on his face.
“Yes, alright!” Chen Feng said firmly.
“By the way, Robertson Bartlett! I would like to invite Chen Feng to take a look at the ritual. The true advancement ceremony within our vampire race is the ceremony that all the vampires will hold during the coming-of-age ceremony.”
“Robertson, do you think it’s okay?”
Finn Ernest spoke seriously as he stared into the eyes of Robertson Bartlett across from him. “Since we’ve already decided on this direction, we shouldn’t hide anything from Chen Feng even though it doesn’t seem to have much to do with what we’re about to do.”
