Vampire's Slice Of Life

World Tree, Alfheim.

Embassy of the Neutral Continent.

The World Tree, which was the capital of the Alfheim country in the Elven Continent, was one of the busiest places in the continent and this was also the place where one had to visit to go to the Neutral Continent.

Strict checking was done here and if the people who were about to enter the Neutral Continent seemed suspicious, they would be denied their permit.

The embassy building was spread over a thousand kilometer square in the Cyranos prefecture.

There were a total of fifty prefectures at the base of the World Tree and all were of pretty big sizes with the smallest prefecture being of a hundred thousand kilometre square in area.

The Cyranos prefecture was ranked 42nd in area among the total 50 prefectures and had an area of around 250,000 km2. But, although it was smaller in size, it was one of the most important prefectures and also one of the busiest ones.

Embassies of the other eight continents were present here in the Cyranos prefecture and this made it the hub for immigration in the Elven Continent.

The Embassy of the Neutral Continent had five sub divisions and these sub division represented the five countries in the Neutral Continent.

One had to first go through the main division in the embassy which represented the entire continent in itself. Here, the general checking was done and after the paperwork and everything was finished, one was sent to the sub divisions to complete the permit.

The same was the case for the other embassies as well and thus due to so much immigration related things, things were pretty busy and heated in this place.

People of various races were visible going to and fro from the different embassies and the same was the case for the Neutral Continent one.

There were orcs, elves, goblins, werewolfs, vampires, demi-humans, and many more types of people from different races going in and out of the Neutral Continent embassy.

This was a normal busy day and though it seemed that there was nothing much going on other than the people entering and exiting the embassy and appeared peaceful, things were much heated inside the building.

In the Uklov subdivision, there were two hundred elves in light armour and equipped with weapons standing in front of the Uklov Consul General, who was a high elf with green hair, sitting on a chair with a calm look.

BAM!

"What on earth do you mean we seem suspicious? How do we look suspicious to you!?" An elf standing in front of the 199 other elves said while slamming the table of the Consul General.

"Calm yourselves down and let's maintain some decorum, shall we?" The green-haired Consul General said.

"I am telling you, we are not interested in doing anything other than provide help to the Senzal Clan in Redstone City. They are our acquaintances and need us." The elf who had just slammed the table said in an annoyed tone.

"Xander, calm down. There's no point being angry with the Consul." A blonde-haired elf with a well built body said to the elf shouting.

"But commander Zelph, he'll never let us pass and you know the reason as well." Xander said.

Zelph calmly looked at Xander and said, "You're the Vice Commander, Xander. Maintain decorum. I know why you are frustrated, but now is not the time."

The Consul General in front of the 200 people was from a Viscount elf family which was at odds with the elven family who these two hundred people were associated with.

The Consul General had gotten news about these two hundred people wanting to go to war and help the people in conflict there and although it wouldn't matter if they helped those people or not to the viscount clan, they weren't just going to let these people have an easy time and were trying their level best to cause problems to their rivals.

The Viscount family helping the Senzal Clan was the Scalanis family and the ones who were at odds with them were the Gilzeiros family.

The Consul was an important member of the Gilzeiros and if he wanted to, he could reject the people from entering the Neutral Continent and he was doing just that right now.

He was causing problems to the Scalanis family's troops and was giving them a hard time. The permit just needed a stamp and sign from the Consul and these troops would be on their way to the Valiyer International Teleportation Circle in the Valiyer Prefecture.

Zelph turned to look at the Consul and said, "Mr. Ighat, do forgive my subordinate for his behaviour. Also, I'd like to ask, what's taking so long and why are we not getting our permit yet?"

Ighat, the Consul General, looked at Zelph and said calmly, "the officials find your activities a threat to the law and order of the Neutral Continent. You may have to wait till you are cleared off of this. I can't do anything to help you as I've been asked to be on standby by the higher ups as well."

Zelph slightly knitted his brows as he heard the bullshit coming out of Ighat's mouth. He wanted to strangle him to death as he was really testing his patience.

Zelph took a deep breath and said, "Very well. I am going to file an RTI and let's see what wrong we are committing."

Ighat raised his eyebrows as he heard that. "You can try doing that, but do know that it won't change the speed of getting your permit."

"We'll see about it." Zelph said and turned around to leave.

He left with the other people and inside the Consul's room, it was only Ighat present who was sneering at the people who just left.

,m Ighat took out a file from his lower drawer of the table and threw it on the desk. He looked at the door and said while sneering again, "RTI or not, I am not letting you pass until it's really late."

RTI was the short form of Right To Information. It was a scheme under a lot of governments which gave the citizens the right to see the information on what the government was doing with their applications and various other things.

One could also lodge a complaint if there was any on the RTI website and strict action was taken against the government officials who were purposely delaying things or slacking or taking bribes and not doing their jobs properly.

Though it was such a good website and such a good right of the citizens all across the globe, there were hardly a few who knew in detail about this and used it.

Zelph was one of the rare few people who knew about RTI and he was well aware that the Elven government really cared a great deal for their citizens.

Though there was monarchy in the Elf race, there was still a government as the Queen managing billions of people alone wasn't something feasible. She was a Supreme Rank and could do it, but she had her own life to live as well and to lower her burden, a government was formed under her.

The government had a lot of officials in it and their goal was to help ensure peace and stability of their society.

RTI was something they placed great importance on and even though there were nobles present, the common man suffered little to no discrimination by them in today's society.

Of course, all of this was something of the Elven society only and the rest of the societies were different and had their own system in which people worked.

Zelph, after coming out of the Consul's office immediately found a place to sit and started filing a RTI to first get some information and he would then file a complaint against the Consul and wait to see what would happen.

…..

SKCT, Redstone City.

"They're still not here…" Peter had a worried expression on his face and said to the three people sitting around a table in the courtyard of the big fort present in the SKCT.

"They will arrive, don't worry. You're underestimating the powers of the noble viscount clans." Senzal said from the side and provided assurance to Peter.

"But why is it taking so long for one small army to arrive here?" Ethan couldn't help but ask. "On our side, the demon army arrived so quickly."

"They arrived quickly because that demon is a rich person and there were no problems when going through immigration for them." Senzal said. "From what I've been told, the consulate office is causing trouble for the army there."

"Is there no way we can help them?" Peter asked.

Senzal shook his head. "If there was, I would've helped them quickly and the army would've been here. It's totally up to them on how they would solve this matter."

Kenzal who was sitting on the opposite side of Senzal spoke, "look for other connections and try to get as much help as you can. If the Shadow River Sect attac–"

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Kenzal's words were cut short by a sudden rumbling that all four were able to hear in the courtyard. The rumbling not only was audible to them, they could also feel the ground beneath them shake.

Not just the ground, the entire fortress was shaking.

Soon…

BOOOOOM!

The four heard a loud explosion and as they looked at the source, they found a small hole in the fortress they were in.

"Shit. They're here already." Ethan couldn't help but curse.

"Kenzal, you really are a jinx. Everytime you open your mouth, something bad ends up happening to us." Senzal looked at Kenzal and sneered.

"Shut the fuck up, bastard. It was due to you that I am taking so many losses everyday. Anyway, prepare for the attack. Ethan go get the troops ready." Kenzal said and vanished from his spot to deal with incoming troops.

Senzal, Peter, and Ethan left as well and soon…

DING! DING! DING! DING!

"ENEMY ATTACK! ENEMY ATTACK! PREPARE FOR DEFENCE, I REPEAT, PREPARE FOR DEFENCE!"

Ethan shouted at the top of his lungs after striking the gong multiple times on top of a watch tower in the middle of the fortress.

.me

The situation inside the fortress turned chaotic and people ran around to get in their positions and prepare for the battle.

A/N: This is the first out of the three bonuses I am supposed to hand out of the magic castle.

Wait for a few hours, I'll release two bonuses + normal chapter in one go.

There was a slight delay because of the festival as well as me going to the hospital. Apparently, my bones have become weak and I am lacking a lot of vitamins and minerals, which includes Vitamin D.

It seems I really need the D.

Jokes apart, I'll try my best to not have it be delayed.

Also, we are close to finishing the 994/1000 GT goal. Go finish it and get 3 bonuses soon.

This week ps was low, 1076/1309 and so, no bonus for ps for you. Better luck next time :p

Anywho, have a good day everyone, I'll see you in the next chapters.
