Vampires are High-tier Undead, both immortal and possessing immense power.
Therefore, despite the drawback of one's life and death being subject to another's whim, many beings still yearned to receive the Embrace and become a vampire.
In fact, for many creatures, pledging their very lives as a symbol of loyalty to a powerful being was by no means an unacceptable proposition.
The followers of a Wizard, for instance, were a case in point.
Thus, the price of the Embrace was of little concern to many. Instead, the immense power and immortality it represented were the primary attractions.
As Paratun finished speaking, many of the other races in the crowd grew visibly excited, eager to buy this boon at once.
Someone asked impatiently, "Paratun, how much does your company plan to sell Lord Cassia's Embrace for?"
Paratun chuckled. "A prize this precious can't be sold for a simple asking price. Today, we'll hold an auction. Highest bidder wins!"
