Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 611 New Techniques

Chapter 611 New Techniques

Snap!

Lith snapped his fingers and Solväire's mind immediately turned hazy. He stopped struggling and his eyes became lifeless.

As that happened, Lith gripped his head tightly and finished the chant in his mind by saying, 

'Extraction.'

Lith felt a sharp pain in his mind as he said the word. But he tried to bear it and in no time, Solväire's memories flooded his brain.

From birth till now, every memory that Solväire had, it was available for Lith to go through.

This technique that Lith used, it was a mind extraction one which he had inherited from his mother.

Lith was made aware of it by Lucy and Lilith both a while ago after his ascension to Saint Rank and it had greatly surprised him.

The two told him that his body had many innate properties that lay dormant in him. Some were also restricted and the only way he would be able to use them were through breakthroughs.

With each breakthrough, his body, mind, and soul would strengthen, which in turn would let him have an easy time in handling the great amount of stress put forth by those properties.

Lith was made aware by his mother that she had made use of magic before giving birth to him and his sister. 

Lilith ensured that her two children inherited all her abilities. Not only did she do that, she also cast spells on them that would awaken an entirely different set of abilities and skills within the two.

These abilities would be something specific to the two themselves, meaning no other person in the entire universe would have those.

As of now, Lucy had awoken only one such ability and judging from that itself, it was evident that they were extremely rare and hard to come by.

Lith saw no signs of such awakening till now and he didn't know when the day would come when he'll have an ability specific to himself.

In any case, a technique which was called Mind Extraction became active within him after he became an immortal. He was currently using it and was going through Solväire's mind to extract information.

Solväire was a thousand year old elf who was a Rank 9. He was a High Elf and belonged to the main family. Currently he was made the head of the lower house so he could ama.s.s experience and learn things.

Once he reached Saint Rank, he would be sent to the middle house and from there, would be called back to the upper house where the main family was.

From his memories, Lith could tell that this guy was indeed someone important who the Blancs would go through great lengths to protect.

Unknowingly, by harming him, Lith realized that he ended up offending an Emperor Rank powerhouse.

'Oh well… Emperor Rank powerhouse, is it?' Lith's lips curved into a smile as he thought that. 'It's nothing. I'd be more worried if I somehow ended up offending my maid than these people.'

Continuing to go through his memories, all of Solväire's deepest secrets were known by Lith. It took half a day to go through everything as this was the first time Lith had used this technique. On top of that, there was a millennium's worth of memories to go through.

Finally when Lith was done going through the memories, he understood what steps he had to take next.

Firstly, he erased things regarding himself from Solväire's memories and once done, stopped using the Mind Extraction technique and got out of it.

Once Lith was out, Solväire felt a sudden shock and woke up from the hazy state.

But before he could understand what was happening, Lith hit his head and knocked him unconscious.

Lith then took out Haru, the tavern manager's core and resurrected him. But once again, before Haru could realize he was alive, Lith knocked him out as well.

Lith then erased memories regarding himself from Haru's mind and did the same thing with the guards as well. Once done, he walked out of the tavern and went to the city square.

From Solväire's memories, Lith saw some hints of what the Blanc's were planning. As Solväire didn't have a lot of authority but was also an important member of the Blanc house, he knew some things but not the entirety of it.

eαglesnovel`c,om To put things in an even simpler manner, his memories gave an overall picture of the puzzle Lith needed to solve, but there were a lot many pieces missing and things were jumbled.

Lith would need to solve this puzzle piece by piece, and to do that, he was now going to the city centre to look for the missing pieces and have hints of solving the puzzle.

While walking, he put his hands in his pockets and going through whatever had happened today, he smiled and said softly to himself,

"It's been a fun day." 

Indeed, although he only had a minor conflict today, whatever things happened, they were fun for him and he enjoyed himself.

Today he got to use his new ability and went a step deeper into Elven politics. It was a fun and productive day for him.

"I had to go through the ha.s.sle of erasing memories when it could've been avoided by being in a disguise. But then again… it's not like people know me, so even if they do see me, they'll not know who I am." Lith put his thoughts out loud.

Lith strolled through the city streets in a casual manner, taking in the beauty of the common people doing their everyday things while talking to himself and thinking of things.

The streets of this elven city that Lith strolled in was bustling with activities. Workers, vendors, carts, bards, and people with various occupations livened up the atmosphere.

Unlike other places, elven cities were clean and green. There was not even a speck of dust present and everyone was more connected to nature than anything.

Strolling here brought a sense of serenity to Lith and made him realize he should explore more and move around.

While appreciating things, he soon reached the city centre of Vartellis, the main city of Yellowstone prefecture that Lith was in.

At the city centre was a big park and behind it was the Prefecture Court where elves from Yellowstone prefecture could come solve their issues in case their local court didn't provide proper justice.

Lith walked inside the park to see what was up. At first, everything felt normal as people seemed to be relaxing and doing normal everyday things.

But as Lith walked past a group of men, he overheard,

"Yup, you heard it right. Those n.o.bles… those f.u.c.king n.o.bles are enjoying themselves on our hard earned money!" 

"Woah! Woah! Woah! Watch yourself bud, lest the people come and kill you." 

This group of friends was talking together as it was evident and the topic was the corruption among the n.o.bles.

Lith carefully a.n.a.lysed the group and saw that among the five people hanging out together, only two were continuously bashing on the n.o.bles.

Although they were talking amongst themselves, with how loud it was, Lith was sure that they wanted others to hear it.

Lith sat on a bench nearby and continued to hear what they were saying.

At first, one guy among the five was talking about how the taxes imposed by n.o.bles were so high. He also gave some examples of how a common man couldn't afford to live in such a day and age.

Basically, the situation was the same as how it was in countries that had democracies back on Earth.

In just a few minutes, Lith understood that these guys were trying to spread misinformation and had ulterior motives. What it was, to know more, Lith got up and walked towards them slowly.

The five guys looked at the approaching Lith and pretended as if they didn't see him.

Lith soon walked close to them and putting his hands in his pocket, tried to appear casual and easygoing.

"Hey, I heard you guys were talking about the high taxes. Man… are you all tired of those too?" Lith took his hands out and tried to fan himself, as if it was hot out here.

"Yup, yup. We are all tired of the new policies. Are you a suffering citizen of this established society like us too, lad?" The guy who was the loudest, asked Lith.

Lith nodded. "Indeed, I am. I got tired of explaining to my friends how the policies are all stupid, but they just don't understand. Thankfully, I overheard you guys and found some sensible people."

"Ahahaha!" The guy laughed out loud and the others followed him.

He put his hand out and said, "you're a funny guy. By the way, I am max." 

Lith smiled and shook his hand. "Frey." 

After the introduction, Max ensured Lith for comfortable within the circle and giving him a seat on the bench, he asked, 

"So Frey, what do you think is wrong with the current policies?"
