[Inside the Mansion]
Mark knew he would have to deal with annoying pest in the future but he never thought that his first assassin would be a Countess. If not for the system identifying her hiding in the bushes then he would have no idea there was anyone there at all. This was quite a wake-up call to him that even if he is comparable to a Veteran Martial Artist in lethality, he was still not able to detect her without the system's help.
He went to a special building he had made before which he called the 'Experimental Zone' where he test the various things he had made and this is also where he just dumps various items which he felt was needed right now. He went opened the door of the large building and was greeted by a wide space like that of a warehouse with various things cluttered about.
"Damn, I should really get a maid to sort this stuff out. Hmm…" Mark said which made him turn to the unconscious vampire. Now that he looks at her closely, he found her quite pitiful, maybe he was quite heavy handed to her but he must say vampires are quite resilient. Normal grown men would have their heads smashed in with the amount of force he had used but she was just unconscious with a broken nose.
And this was just a spy, a wake-up call indeed to Mark as he realized he had underestimated the strength of the people in this world just based from the enemies he had faced so far. Sure he was able to take down a minotaur barehanded but it was thanks to his martial arts and speed. Should he face an assassin faster and more experienced then he might have perished in this cruel world.
This means that he had not yet faced the true elites of this place, even if the knights use powers not of their own it was still true that they could do feats that no normal men could do. From what he remembered in the wiki that Brettonia have knights called Grail Knights which were knights who had taken a sip from the Holy Grail. Giving them enough power to injure even griffons and dragons which was quite equivalent to super soldiers for Mark.
And to think they are hundreds of them in this country, Mark rethinks his plans as he tied the unconscious vampire to an operating table he had made. Sure he could not get a large source of electricity yet but he had been able to build a prototype water plant nearby. He had the Beastmen gather materials for him by letting them stay here so he'll start the large Power plant next month maybe.
But for now the small one was just enough to power the 'Experimental Zone' so he had bought some electrical gadgets that were mostly found in laboratories. Centrifuges, microscopes, beakers, a computer and other small devices are found nearby. He did this to record his findings on many things but it was mostly on genetics as he was curious as to what the differences of Beastmen to Humans. Thankfully the Shop sells books of many things including advanced science.
He had a hard time learning things from scratch and was not an expert yet so he just went to record things on the computer for future references. As he finished strapping the vampire he went to get a small sample of her blood and put it in a petri dish. He started putting on the chemicals so he could use his small electronic microscope.
He was sure this tech was not available on his past life as electric microscopes were large and bulky. Maybe the shop was able to sell tech from other parallel earths too but not too much different from 21st Century tech could be found in the shop. The things did cause quite a dent in his gold coins but it was worth it. Besides studying genetics he must also develop a laboratory to fight against the various diseases brought here by Papa Nurgle.
He wouldn't want that red pox to wreak havoc and weaken the Old World, Mark doesn't give a shit about keeping the timeline as it was destine to doom in the end. So he'll make sure to change it as much as possible so the end times would not happen. Mark shook his head to rid of these distracting thoughts in his head as he watched how different the Vampire DNA was.
As he was watching the Vampire Countess Melissa was stirring up from her slumber. She felt her head was splitting apart thinking as to why she is seeing an unfamiliar ceiling. She then remembered her mission which made her think of what her last memories were. She remembered the target greeting her which made her stunned as to why he knows of her, she never showed her face other than her 'husband' and 'family' members.
'Where am I? Ughh my head hurts, my chest hurts too.'
"~Aangh~" she moaned in pain as she tried to move but she realized her hands were bound which made her try to look around which was quite hard as her head was also strapped. But she could see the outline of a back which she recognize as her target's.
"You feel alright Countess Melissa? I was worried because you fainted so I had to bring you here for examination. Is your bed comfortable?" Mark's sarcastic voice sounded out as he turned around hearing the moan just now. He was surprised at how sexy that sounded even if it was a moan of pain. Maybe the training they got from Neferata played a part, as they were comparable to the spies of the Red Room which were made to seduce a target.
But theirs were a much more dedicated subterfuge as they were infiltrating the families of influential people for a lifetime. Vampires do live long which means that they don't mind the passing of time, which makes them more formidable as they can stay for years spying without anyone questioning anything other than their youthful appearance.
"~Why thank you for the hospitality Signeur Mark but this is not what I imagine comfortable would be~." The Countess said softly as she struggled to move but evidently realized it was all for naught.
"I see, then I should make thing more enjoyable for the Madam." Mark was no saint as he was raised by a family owning a criminal syndicate. He had seen many disturbing things and even if he wanted to do good unto others, he was not averse to the thought of torturing people. So he went to a cabinet to take out a syringe and a small bottle of medicine which made the vampire flinch.
"~Ohh, are you going to poison me? How unoriginal, I assure you dear that I would not talk about anything at all. Huhu~" Melissa laughed in a sultry manner as she saw Mark coming with a small bottle.
"Poison? No, I would not resort to such means and rest assured I am not aiming to interrogate you at all my dear Countess." Mark smiled as he stabbed the syringe on the bottle ant took about half of it.
"~Then are you healing me? Are you not curious about what I know?~" Melissa raised an eyebrow as she asked gently. She might have broken her nose a bit but Mark felt it was incredible she was still able to exude such sultry aura. No wonder weak winded nobles are easily enraptured and fooled into doing stupid things.
"No my dear lady, I am more curious about your body." Mark smiled as he injected the contents of the syringe on the vampire and took out a small note.
"~Anghh, you're quiet naughty. If you would untie me then I could show you more, I can't be easily satisfied with such a small prick. I wonder if you could give me something bigger?~" Melissa smiled as she tried to entice Mark with everything she had. She even tried to push out her chest to emphasize her curves even if her ribs hurt a bit.
"You misunderstand me my Lady, I am not interest in that way and for your information mine is quite large( if I get to use the enhancement serum)" Mark only thought the last part in his head.
"~Oh, what more could you want from my body? Are you perhaps ga-" Melissa stopped her words as a weird feeling suddenly wrought on her body which she wanted to stop. But as she held it in the feeling was getting worse and worse which made her countenance warp.
~POOT!!~
Melissa blushed fiercely as she was not able to control herself, she was sure she didn't drink any alcoholic's Blood before she went out as she only drank the blood collected by her thralls. Her stomach grumbled more as it seemed to be protesting to her which made her blush more as farts keep coming out of her bottom.
"I see, so laxatives still work on Vampires." Mark then scribbled on his note pad as he looked at the time the medicine took to work in a vampire's body. He kept writing as he observed the reaction of Countess Melissa who looked at him in anger realizing she was in thing situation due to that weird thing he put on her. She tried to talk but she was having difficulty focusing on that as she tried to control her bowels realizing that there might be things unwanted to come out.
She was a dignified Countess as well as a Lahmian Vampire, she wouldn't her pride to break down so she kept her focus on keeping things inside. She looked so constipated that Mark even wanted to laugh but research must be given importance as he thought of other things he should try. He wanted to gather the amount of change a Vampire gets in comparison to a normal human.
"Y-you…staph thishh.. pleeshhhh…." Melissa was struggling to speak as she looked towards Mark whos till had an indifferent expression writing down on his note pad. She was regretting it already as she tried to show her worth to their Queen by hastily going here. She didn't think much of Mark before so she underestimated him which would not have been an issue if her sister was the one who did the mission. She pleaded saying this was just another aspiring small noble in the countryside but she could never be more wrong.
"Nah, There is still more Data to gather." Mark smiled evilly as he started cackling like an evil villain. Melissa was getting more embarrassed and horrified that this was not the end.
