- So, if we inject blood into the veins and speed up the processes in the body, we get a vampire. That's good news for us," Eugene was really pleased.
- Actually, I gave him blood.
- What's the difference?
- I don't know, but I drank it, not injected it.
Konstantin scratched his head and drew attention to himself by snapping his fingers.
- 'How many convicts of men are there now?
- Three.
- Bring them here.
The awakened criminals were brought before the council. Washed, bald, in clean and simple clothes, they looked around blindly, trying to see anything beyond the flame of the lone candle burning in the hall.
- Give me one. Inject the blood and speed it up.
The order was carried out instantly. The man fell to the floor and pain shot through his body, and then... he pounced and the girl and flung her far away from him. Claws grew on his fingers and fangs appeared in his mouth. Uttering a rumbling growl, the creature leaped at the vampire closest to it. It was Eugene, who was a little confused, for which he received a fangy palm on the head. The rest of the vampires present did not fail and quickly killed the ghoul.
The triumvir's face was frightening to look at. Four deep cuts. No eye. No nose. How the lower jaw is holding together is unclear. Fortunately, the vampire's regeneration was quick and soon the wounds that would have killed any human were almost invisible. The eye would just need time to regrow.
- And you wanted to go camping!
At this remark, Eugene only shrugged his shoulders guiltily. He had made a mistake, and he realized it himself.
- Shall we continue?
- Make ghouls? - Alexander only laughed.
- Let's make the other two vampires. We need to make sure that the transformation technique works for everyone.
Everyone agreed with Konstantin's words. And one of the men was dragged to the middle of the hall despite his resistance and pleas for mercy!
- What are we going to do with the three of them? - Maria threw the convict to the ground and pressed him down, but she was in no hurry to pour her blood into his mouth.
- What do you mean?
- Well, they're all hardened killers. The one who's already a vampire, he's killed five. This one's a dozen!
- Execute them! I don't see the sense in keeping among us those who don't respect the lives of others.
- Sash, but we're no better than they are.
- We don't have goals to kill for the sake of corpses. Yes, we sometimes lose our heads, but we repent. And these people don't even think they've done anything wrong in their lives! Look at him. He begs for mercy, and he regrets even one of his victims?
Maria didn't answer, even though her logic was lame. She paralyzed the man with magic and pierced her finger with a sprouted claw and poured a few drops of blood into his mouth. The man's eyes reflected agony and then he passed out. The exact same procedure was carried out on the second man. Two hours later, three new vampires stood before the council. The result of the experiment was one hundred percent. They decided to execute them right here. And not in the usual way.
Even earlier, thinking about how to get rid of ghouls, Maria ordered a dozen stone sarcophagi. All the ghouls she had were placed in them. However, one was placed there as a carcass completely devoid of blood, and the second was conscious. The girl wanted to know how time would affect the bodies of the victims of her experiments.
The new vampires were also placed in sarcophagi. One of them was not even fed with blood, but so hungry and weak and closed with a stone slab, which he could not lift. The other two had all the blood completely drunk out of them and closed them like that. In yet another sarcophagus a ghoul was placed. A freshly carved niche in the basement of the tower became the repository for these sarcophagi.
