After reading the contents of the letter, Fang Ping had a rough understanding.
This ancient ruin existed in an incomparably distant place from the Imperial City. Moreover, only a specific key could open the door to the ruin.
This key was with Princess Kallen!
Fang Ping was naturally filled with curiosity and desire for this ruin. The mausoleum of a prince expert?
Fang Ping had transmigrated from Earth and had read countless online novels.
Often, countless earth-shattering treasures or divine weapons from this era would be hidden in the tombs of these ancient experts!
Once he could obtain these good things, even a dog could soar into the sky and become a top expert in the world!
Of course, Fang Ping would not let go of this good opportunity.
However, Fang Ping still had a mission to complete, which was to obtain the key from Kallen!
It was somewhat difficult to not let the other party know the secrets of Manstein and the ancient ruins.
Moreover, this was Manstein's will before his death. Of course, Fang Ping could not violate his last wish and reveal all these secrets.
"What should I do? Could it be that I have to snatch the key?
"No, I can't hurt Kallen.
If Kallen was a stranger, it would be fine. Fang Ping would probably not hesitate at all to snatch the item and be done with it.
However, the key was that he and Kallen were good friends. Kallen and Manstein were father and daughter. Fang Ping could not do anything to hurt her.
"Why don't I think of a way to get close to her first and find an opportunity to get the key!"
After a while, Fang Ping finally made up his mind.
If he continued to approach Kallen and increase their relationship, he would definitely have a chance to obtain the key.
In order to open the ancient ruins as soon as possible and increase his strength, Fang Ping rested at home for a night and headed to the palace the next morning.
He wanted to apply for a position in the palace. It was best if he could come into contact with Kallen frequently. Only then could he increase the relationship between the two of them more effectively.
"You want to find a job in the palace… There has never been a case of the Skeleton Race working in the royal family. This… is somewhat difficult."
Although the palace butler had a good relationship with Fang Ping and the two of them had worked together in the past, Fang Ping was not a member of the vampire race after all. It was unprecedented for an outsider to work in an important place like the palace.
However, after Fang Ping's repeated pleading, the butler was still willing to help Fang Ping this one time.
"I've always admired Princess Kallen. I only hope to have a chance to get close to her. I definitely don't have any bad thoughts.
"Please fulfill my wish."
Fang Ping asked sincerely.
The butler thought for a moment and said.
"By the way, I remember that a palace bartender resigned some time ago. You've also lived here for a few years. You should know how fanatical our vampires are about wine.
"If you have the skill to mix alcohol and your proficiency is passable, you might be able to obtain this position.
"Recently, the soldiers in front have been short of manpower in various industries. The reason why the last bartender resigned was because he went to the battlefield. Sigh."
Hearing this, Fang Ping immediately agreed.
In his previous life, although he was not a professional bartender, he had also worked part-time in a bar as a student.
It was not a problem for him to complete some simple mixing!
Moreover, this was the only opportunity for him to enter the palace to work. Of course, Fang Ping would not give up easily.
If it really did not work out, he could make other choices!
From then on, Fang Ping became the palace bartender of the vampires.
He would start work every afternoon until he got off work the next day when the sun came up.
After that, Fang Ping went to and from work on time every day. Sometimes, if he was not tired, he would even work an additional two hours just to get an opportunity to see Kallen.
However, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye. Fang Ping became very troubled.
He had been diligently mixing wine here for a month and had almost seen all the big and small figures in the palace.
However, he had never seen Kallen!
Kallen seemed to have suddenly disappeared from this world and never appeared in front of him again.
"What's going on? Could it be that Kallen's hobbies are different from other vampires? Isn't she quite fond of drinking? She even drank a few glasses with me at the ball last time!"
Fang Ping could not figure out what the problem was.
At this rate, he would not have a chance to come into contact with Kallen at all.
If he went to look for Kallen directly and frequently, it would seem as if he was deliberately trying to get close to her. It would easily backfire!
If this continued, he really did not know when he would be able to obtain the key to the ancient secret realm!
However, Fang Ping was helpless. He could only ask around for news about Kallen.
A few days later, Fang Ping heard a piece of news from a well-informed person.
"What, Kallen has her own exclusive bartender? When did this happen? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Hearing Fang Ping's words, the other party said as if he was looking at a fool, "Are you stupid? Everyone knows Princess Kallen's current status in the royal family. Many people think that Kallen might become the first empress of the vampires and might even become the first prince expert in thousands of years!
"Now, the various resources of the palace are biased towards Princess Kallen unconditionally. She can have whatever she wants. It's just an exclusive bartender. It's not a problem at all!"
Fang Ping stood in front of the bar in a daze. He suddenly felt that the ancient ruins were actually so far away from him.
However, as the saying went, things would work out eventually.
Just as Fang Ping was about to completely give up on the ancient ruins, Kallen's figure appeared in the public bar in the palace for the first time.
"Heavens, is it really Princess Kallen? Doesn't she have her own exclusive bartender? Why is she still in such a place?"
"Who knows? Perhaps she's tired of drinking from the same bartender and wants to change her taste!"
"Princess Kallen is really too beautiful. If I can marry a woman like her, I'd rather cut my life short by ten years!"
"Wake up, stop dreaming. With Princess Kallen's current status, how many men in our entire vampire race are worthy of her?"
"Sigh, it's a pity that Count Leon was harmed. Otherwise, he should have a chance!"
"Shh, don't let the princess hear you. She doesn't seem to like Count Leon very much. Last time, she even publicly rejected Leon's invitation at the ball!"
As soon as Kallen appeared, she immediately became the center of attention.
