Leah sat up straight and finally replied, "This is a soul."

Medea's look of puzzlement instantly changed into one of astonishment. "Soul?"

"Yes," Leah sneered and said, "I cut off some soul fragments and put them in a culture jar to create something like a lich's phylactery. Once its main body died..."

Medea: "Whose soul is it? Is he dead now?"

Leah composed herself and restored her gentle appearance. Yet she only shook her head and said, "It's a secret."

"A secret, huh…"

But Leah shook her head again, "That's not what I'm not worried about. Okay, let’s continue playing chess, this game is only halfway done."

……

In the classroom inside the castle, Dark carefully observed the [Soul Powder] in the vial.

A vampire's [Soul Powder] was obviously a very precious material, but he hadn't thought about how to use it.

"You can keep it first," said Professor Cazer.

Dark nodded and stuffed the vial into the interlayer of his card pouch.

At this point, the whole thing seemed to have finally come to an end

But in fact, the result didn't fully meet their expectations.

After confirming the existence of Vlad the Vampire, the difficulty of exterminating his soul mainly lay in how to get him out of Robert's body.

Tonight, they took an approach that seemed rather long-winded.

One of the reasons was to improve the safety of the plan, while the other was to spread out the scope of the vampire hunt and lead some people into thinking that there was a loophole to exploit.

However, while the former goal had been achieved, the latter turned out to be completely fruitless.

Professor Cazer and Professor Silver had set up layers upon layers of nets on the second floor of the castle, but they didn't find any trace of the invisible person.

Therefore, they couldn't help but find it a little regretful.

Vlad the Vampire was actually wiped out by them just like that!

At this moment, even though both professors felt that things had gone too smoothly, they really couldn't figure out what was amiss.

In order to ensure that everything was thoroughly dealt with, Professor Cazer didn't immediately leave.

He started controlling all the golems on the second floor to "disinfect" every corner of the castle.

Meanwhile, Professor Silver was in charge of sending the three students back to the dormitory.

They first went to the tower of Knight House.

At the bridge in front of the tower, Professor Silver sternly rebuked and educated White and Robert for their disciplinary violation.

But after that, her tone gradually softened. She apologised for what Robert experienced tonight and praised White for his dubbing. In the end, she even gave them some credits as a reward to appease them.

Of course, she also talked about the corresponding confidentiality requirements.

Dark watched as Professor Silver handled everything from beginning to the end. Only after she sent White and Robert into the tower did they finally walk together to the tower of Noble House.

Without White and Robert, the two of them could start speaking with less scruples.

Professor Silver said in a heavy tone, "The probability of their target being Vlad the Vampire has decreased."

Dark nodded in agreement. "Seems like it. In addition, the probability of Ophelia Bullard being in the academy has also decreased."

Professor Silver couldn't help sighing, "That's the thing. Since we've now found the reason why Robert saw Ophelia in the mist… Wait, does it mean that Vlad knew Ophelia?"

Dark: "It's not surprising for a vampire to know the last princess of the Blood Race."

Professor Silver muttered, "Even so, was his impression of her so deep to the extent that he saw her during the love divination?"

Dark: "Professor, love divination integrates the power of suggestion and magic technology to guide and reflect one's thought. I reckon he probably thought of the Blood Princess at that time."

Professor Silver: "So why did he think of the Blood Princess at that time?"

Dark spontaneously stopped walking before raising his head to reply, "That's the question."

Professor Silver also stopped moving.

Moonlight shone on her light golden hair, so pale it was ethereal.

She weighed, "This matter needs further thoughts and discussion. The existence of that invisible person has always been a problem, but since it didn't appear even until the soul of Vlad the Vampire perished, then we can temporarily assume that their purpose had nothing to do with Vlad's existence. As of present, if we want to lure them out, I'm afraid we can only resort to the 'key' plan again."

Dark lightly shook his head. "That plan is too shoddy. Since we couldn't even lure them out using Vlad the Vampire, they're either a person who's actually completely harmless or a person who's extremely astute. I don't think we'll be able to fool them with a fake key."

Professor Silver coldly smiled, "Then make a real one. Since it's already proven that Vlad the Vampire is not inside the secret passage, we can't just keep the passage permanently locked either."

As he thought about it, Dark suddenly had an idea. He said, "Professor, I've always thought it was pretty meaningless to create a key to break the seal of the secret passage. How about creating an access card(门卡) instead?"

Professor Silver asked in surprise, "Access card?"

Dark nodded, "Access card. Only bearers of the access card can enter the secret passage. Not only will this prevent unpredictable changes from taking place in the secret passage due to the overload of people, it can also effectively make use of the speciality of the secret passage. As you said, the secret passage is part of Saint Marian. It can't remain closed forever."

Professor Silver was lost in thought as she carefully considered it for a good while. "That seems to be the case. It's been so many years, yet none of us has thought of this facet."

Dark: "It's a matter of different perspectives. The professors are probably more worried about us students getting into danger in the secret passage, so even though they want to use it, they also naturally reject the idea and won't think about this aspect."

"You're right," Professor Silver nodded, "Let's do it this way, once Vlad the Vampire has been thoroughly dealt with, I'll go find Arte and carefully discuss this prospect with her."

Dark: "This is indeed a decision that needs to be handled seriously. I hope the Headmistress will consider it with an open mind."

Professor Silver couldn't help smiling, "I think I figured it out, it's you who want to enter the secret passage."

Dark looked up at her without any intention to hide it. "That's right."

Even though Professor Silver was standing against the moonlight, her smile was even brighter than the moonlight.
