When Charle asked that question, the Vampire Earl's brows furrowed tightly, revealing an expression like he was looking at an idiot.
"What kind of idiotic question is this?"
"What idiot would fill a swimming pool like that?"
"That's too stupid!"
The next moment, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Charle with an unbelievable gaze, then looked at the swimming pool that seemed to have barely changed.
"You, don't tell me you're filling it with blood like that!"
Charle looked completely innocent.
"What's wrong with filling it with blood like this?"
"I learned it this way since I was a child. When filling a swimming pool with water, how can you not open a faucet on the other side?"
Charle slowly grinned.
"It's okay, relax, I'll just tell you the answer directly."
"One swimming pool only needs ten thousand seconds to fill up, and three swimming pools are only thirty thousand seconds. For you, a Vampire Earl, this little bit of time is just the blink of an eye."
"Or you could put in more effort, pump more blood, and the time will be even shorter."
"Come, I'll help you!"
Immediately, Charle stepped on the Vampire Earl's heart and exerted force.
As expected, at the other end of the blood pump, the speed of blood gushing out visibly increased, causing the blood level in the swimming pool to slowly rise a little.
But at this moment, the Vampire Earl's face was pale.
Thirty thousand seconds?
That's like seven or eight hours, isn't it?
From the very beginning, Charle intended to drain his blood like this?
Even vampires had never seen this kind of pumping method. A vampire's physique couldn't withstand it either!
The Vampire Earl was full of terror, and he wailed towards the outside of Knockturn Alley with a hoarse voice.
"Help!"
"Help!"
"There's a vampire, sucking blood, help!"
However, his desperate shouts in Knockturn Alley didn't cause the slightest ripple, as if they were swallowed by the darkness here.
But the Vampire Earl's cries became more and more mournful. Finally, there was movement in Knockturn Alley.
One after another, dark wizards walked out of their homes and into the alley.
Seeing this scene from afar, the Vampire Earl's eyes showed a glimmer of hope.
"I knew it, I knew it!"
"Wizards in the magical world still have humanity!"
"The Law for the Protection of Sentient Magical Creatures can still be effective in Knockturn Alley!"
"Save me, save me!"
But the next moment, when he saw the actions of these dark wizards, the Vampire Earl fell into a daze.
He saw that after these dark wizards walked into the alley, they all squeezed out smiles and began to sing and dance.
"Tonight, another carnival ritual in Knockturn Alley has begun."
"Let us sing to our heart's content, celebrating another day lived, a beautiful day!"
Immediately, these dark wizards, as if they didn't know what horrific things were happening deep in the alley, began to fiddle with various noisy instruments, and some directly cast Amplifying Charms, singing loudly in Knockturn Alley.
In an instant, the Vampire Earl's cries for help were drowned out by the sounds of the carnival.
Only then did the Vampire Earl react.
It turned out that from the beginning, these dark wizards in Knockturn Alley were in league with Charle!
Charle had deliberately lured him here, and there were even so many dark wizards as his accomplices!
The Vampire Earl turned his head to look at Charle, his face full of grief, indignation, and terror.
"Devil!"
"Mixing with dark wizards at such a young age, you are simply a devil!"
"You'll end up in Azkaban!"
Charle, however, showed a sinister smile and stepped hard on the Vampire Earl's heart.
"Azkaban? How could that be?"
"Everyone in Knockturn Alley can testify for me that I am a desperate little wizard who was followed by a vampire, pitiful, weak, and helpless. How could I end up in Azkaban?"
"Who do you think people will believe, the accusation of a Vampire Earl or the tearful plea of a little wizard?"
"Come on, don't waste your breath screaming for help. You can scream your throat raw and no one will come to save you."
"Don't think too much about it. It'll be over in another hour or two of squeezing. Keep up the good work!"
Feeling the sharp pain in his heart and the weakness from his blood constantly being pumped out, the Vampire Earl let out a wail.
"Stop stepping! Stop stepping! I'll pump it myself! Please, stop stepping!"
At this moment, he had no other thoughts. He stared intently at the rising blood level in the swimming pool, hoping this nightmarish time would pass quickly.
After a full hour and a half, with the Vampire Earl's heart beating with all its might, two and a half of the three swimming pools were filled.
But by this time, he truly couldn't pump out any more blood.
So much blood had already severely damaged his essence, leaving his complexion pale and tinged with green, like a dried corpse!
The Vampire Earl let out a weak plea.
"I really don't have a single drop left."
"Please let me go."
Charle sighed upon hearing this.
"Is that so?"
"It seems like you can't pump any more out."
"But there's still half a swimming pool left to fill. I'm a man of my word. As long as you fill it, I'll definitely let you go. But the problem is, you haven't filled it yet."
"Never mind. I'm not a devil either. I'll provide you with a solution for free to end this quickly."
The Vampire Earl, weakened to the extreme from blood loss and almost incapable of thought, was filled with gratitude.
Then, he saw Charle wave his wand, transforming the blood pump into a device similar to a high-pressure water gun.
Charle looked at the group of dark wizards who were still trying to cover up the Vampire Earl's wails with their revelry and said,
"Alright, you guys did well today. I won't rob you."
"Go get me a few tubs of water. You're not needed here anymore."
Upon hearing this, the dark wizards felt as if they had been granted a great pardon.
In just a moment, over a dozen large tubs of water were brought before Charle.
The dark wizards who came to deliver the water saw the miserable state of the Vampire Earl and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and lingering fear.
It was too tragic, truly too tragic.
Fortunately, Lord Charle hadn't used such methods against them that day. He had merely robbed them clean and then made them plant potatoes for a while.
Compared to this vampire, their treatment was like heaven!
After the dark wizards left, the Vampire Earl looked at the high-pressure water gun and the dozen or so tubs of water before him. Even with his blood-deprived and dull mind, he sensed that something was wrong.
He trembled as he looked at Charle.
"You, what are you going to do..."
Charle smiled.
"Have you studied science? When a hypertonic solution and a hypotonic solution are placed together, the concentration will always neutralize..."
"Alright, to put it in a way you can understand, it's like when you drink a beverage. It seems like you've finished it, but there's actually some residue left on the cup. If you rinse it with water, you can get a little more out."
"Be good, bear with it a little longer. It will really be over soon."
As he spoke, Charle held the high-pressure water gun, aimed it at the Vampire Earl's heart again, and then suddenly sprayed.
Trickles of dragon blood mixed with water sprayed out again.
Charle nodded with satisfaction.
"A vampire's blood is like water in a sponge. If you squeeze hard, there will always be some."
"See? Didn't we get some!"
