Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Xunshan Hermitage and the Thirteen Clans of the Blood Clan

(What are you thinking about saying that the protagonist wants to be a girl.) )

It's a plausible new world, very different from the old one, where everything is reshaped by the new one, and Dark Shadow is well aware of this.

For example, its body was a behemoth that carried the earth and the sea in the old world, and if the humans of the old world had enough perseverance, they could dig all the way to the body of the serpent thousands of miles away, but now, the behemoth has been completely reshaped into the earth itself. Rock formations, mantles, cores, and even the most central liquid metal cores, solid metal cores, pure planets, without any signs of life.

The serpent sleeps in the old world and as a planet in the new world.

Another example is the legend of many gods and monsters, in the old world, limited by the contract between gods and demons "not to interfere in the present world", it is a world with countless gods, demons and demons but few supernatural powers appear, but now it has completely transformed into a new world where supernatural powers do not exist, and the only supernatural and mysterious powers are completely based on the interference of the sleeping serpent in this new world, so that they can continue.

In the past, in the old world, many ancient heroes who were manipulated by black shadows as pawns, such as King Arthur, St. George, King David, etc., these legendary heroes with the deeds of dragon slaying and kings, have never appeared in this new world.

The history that has existed will still be present, but it will be rewritten in another form.

Beneath the seemingly similar appearance, the inside has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and this is the new world, an imperfect new world.

In the old world, the black shadow once lodged in Joan of Arc's body, but in this new world, this act became that the black shadow was imprisoned in Joan of Arc's body, and was forced to be burned to ashes with Joan of Arc.

Leonardo da Vinci had a good hunch that the statue contained a secret, because it was the heart of Joan of Arc, carefully hidden in the statue by Bluebeard, which housed the support of the demon king Satan.

"Hmph...... Is it naïve to think that if I Satan is trapped here, I Satan will not be able to escape? ”

Although he was trapped in the statue for a while, and even his body became a planet and fell into eternal sleep, the black shadow was not worried about anything, but instead laughed at the innocence of the gods.

For the Shadow, death is nothing but a deep sleep, and it will eventually awaken again. Becoming the body of the planet itself, at this moment is just falling into another kind of sleep, as long as you find the right opportunity, the body of the great snake will eventually awaken again.

Even though it can't get out of it at the moment, as long as it still exists, the invisible power of the serpent will continue to affect this new world, and the remnants of the old world will eventually spontaneously try to wake up the serpent and wake up this sleeping planet.

It has enough patience that no matter how long it takes a thousand years or ten thousand years, the monster will eventually wake up.

......

Holy Roman Empire, inside an ancient castle outside Aachen.

At night, this castle, which has survived since Charlemagne's time, looks very quaint, and the neighborhood is uninhabited, and in many cases it is even thought to be abandoned. But when only the small nobles who did not open their eyes tried to occupy it, several powerful nobles would quietly appear to stop them, and over time, everyone nearby knew that there was definitely a powerful family living in this ancient castle.

On this night, there were rare lights in the castle, and there were faint traces of people moving.

“......”

Around the large round table, more than a dozen men and women of different makeup sit. They vary in temperament, from violent to elegant, the only thing they have in common is their pale countenance, with only the occasional sound of drinking, but the scarlet goblet always gives an uneasy impression.

"I need to know why I was called this time......"

At the round table, a man with an indifferent expression said, but what he spoke was an extremely obscure language, which was the language of a small people more than 600 years ago.

However, none of the men and women here cared about this, but it was a language that was more than 600 years old, and it was no stranger to many of you, some of whom existed before the birth of Celtic.

"Neil, don't be too anxious, this time it's about the voice of that call......"

A slightly old middle-aged man said slowly, for them, the long life expectancy has made them accustomed to a slow rhythm, and the fast pace peculiar to humans has nothing to do with them, so that they are used to speaking slowly.

The voice of the call, no one knew what that voice meant, but since the disappearance of the gods and demons, that voice has gradually been noticed by a few Blood Clan elders.

That murmuring voice was subtly calling all the blood clans, the vast majority of the blood clans could not hear the voice, but they would be unconsciously drawn by the voice, and only a very small number of blood clan elders could faintly hear the sound of the broken dream.

Although there was no way to know what it was, the powerful power revealed in the murmuring dream still made the Blood Clan elders tremble, and after decades of exploration, the Blood Clan elders finally vaguely sensed the place where the voice was pulling......

Somewhere in France.

Before the Blood Clan elders could go, the place where the voice was pulled had changed more than ten years ago, and this time, it would be another long induction.

"We don't know what the owner of that voice is trying to do, and we don't need to look for it. ”

The one who spoke first frowned, its face full of resistance.

For many of the Bloods, they didn't care about the voice, and even felt wary, and these Bloods advocated not to explore it, and the indifferent man was one of them. However, some of the Bloods were also aware of the power of that voice, and the unshakability of that voice.

According to some Bloodline scholars, even if you don't want to, the voice will make you unconsciously travel to that place, prompting you to approach it.

"But what if it's really the Ancestor?"

A woman with elegant manners spoke, her voice a little hoarse, but full of majesty, and it was clear that she had been in such a position of authority in the past. And when that word sounded, all the elders were in awe.

Ancestor, the word refers to a single person in the Bloodline......

Legend has it that Cain, the ancestor of the Bloodline and the one who killed the oldest human, abandoned the Bloodline and disappeared after he created the oldest of the Bloods.

In fact, there is no shortage of voices who think that it may be the call of the ancestor, and it is precisely because it is the ancestor that it has such a powerful power, so it can affect the entire blood clan. However, there are also voices of opposition, because the old rivals of the blood clan, the werewolves, can also feel that voice, in fact, countless dark races can feel that voice.

What a powerful force to be able to make all the night races feel the same call, and it is not an exaggeration to say that an individual with such power is even a source of darkness.

The debate continued, and in the end, it just broke up.

The guest was gone, and only the old Duke of Lorraine, the owner of the place, sat alone at the round table, and after a long time, in the midst of the many candles, he muttered.

"Gods and demons disappear...... Why, exactly. ”

Obviously, the appearance of the voice is related to the disappearance of gods and demons, but no one knows what the root cause of the disappearance of gods and demons is, only that decades ago, as if overnight, all the gods and demons in the world disappeared, and séance could not call those who were extremely powerful in the past, and some were just dead and silent. This is also the case in the Far East, where the wizards are said to have called it the "Age of the End of Law".

Decades ago, even those ancient blood clan elders who had been sleeping for hundreds of years woke up, but even those ancient blood clan elders couldn't explain the reason, and the only clue was the whispering dream voice.

"Perhaps, let's wait a little longer......"

The old duke was not in a hurry, the lifespan of the blood clan was extremely long, and he didn't care about the outcome of the argument at this time, but even he couldn't expect what would happen later.

A year later, in 1484, Pope Innazon VIII announced the "Witch Hunt", and a vigorous wave of the era began, from which the vampire hunters were born, and soon after, the thirteen clans of the blood clan split into the demon and the secret party, and such a meeting was never convened again......

......

In the midst of the confusion, surrounded by a vast white mist, Leonardo da Vinci seemed to hear a voice, and the dream-like voice seemed to tempt him to involuntarily try to move forward.

In the heavy darkness, there were many whispers, strange traces looming in the white mist, and a pair of eyes looking at him in the mist, he was like a child who had strayed into a dangerous jungle, surrounded by wild beasts but unaware.

"What's that voice......

But at this moment, Da Vinci's heart was inexplicably only one obsessive thought, that voice had a strange seductive charm for him, so he couldn't help but try to explore, and finally, I don't know how to look in the fog for a long time, he set aside the strange plants in front of him, and what appeared in front of him was an incredible picture......

Under the blazing sun, an infinitely beautiful creature bathed in the sun's radiance.

The long hair that fluttered like thousands of poisonous snakes, the dangerous and cold dark purple lips, the erect snake-shaped pupils, and the white skin that did not look like a human being...... It was a monster that looked like a human but didn't look like a human at all, powerful, cold, beautiful, but also inexplicably terrifying.

Just like a monster covered with a layer of human skin, under the appearance of a human, it always reveals a strange sense of inhumanity, arrogant and calm, like a god overlooking the heavens and the earth.

It is the deepest darkness, but it can be bathed in light at will......

It was as if the heart was clenched by a big hand, unable to breathe, unable to move, and deep and inexplicable fear spread throughout the body.

“......”

His breathing had stopped, and he didn't even dare to make any movements, and the muscles of his whole body stiffened, a feeling that Da Vinci was no stranger to, he had felt before.

Leonardo da Vinci once had an eye for a lion, and on an adventure to North Africa, he stumbled upon a lion.

It was a lazy and calm powerful creature, powerful and beautiful. As it paced towards the human, the coldness released from the huge pupils made people feel as if they were naked in the barbaric era 10,000 years ago, when he held an Italian handcuff in his hand, but in front of the lion, he did not even think about it once.

Without him, fear.

At that moment, civilization and reason disappeared, and there was only a monkey weighing less than seventy kilograms, and a beast of prey weighing nearly three hundred kilograms. Fear dominated his reason, preventing him from thinking calmly and rightly, not even realizing when the lion left, and after that, Leonardo da Vinci never went to North Africa again.

At this moment, Leonardo da Vinci once again felt that sense of fear, ten million times more than the fear at that time......

......

"Ahhh......hh

Accompanied by screams, Sir Leonardo da Vinci woke up from his nightmare in the early morning of July 21, 1511 AD.

His forehead was covered with fine sweat stains, and his pale face was full of uneasiness, and he was breathing heavily. After a long time, when the old man was already sixty years old, he looked to the side, and on the low table, there was a statue of a heroic woman, unstained with no dust, and it was obvious that it had been carefully cleaned every day.

But looking at the statue, Leonardo da Vinci's face was unusually blue, and he subconsciously bit his lower lip, which was the source of his fear......

Reluctantly standing up, then sitting down in front of the desk, picking up a quill and dipping it in ink, he began to write a letter, but the words inside were upside down, and it was a cipher that no outsider could understand.

"My brothers and sisters...... As I said, after almost thirty years, I have come to know the secrets of that statue, and I cannot tell you too much, but the only thing I can say is that it is a taboo that must not be known to man......"

"No matter how many times, how many times I have dreamed, I am deeply afraid, no matter how many times I see that figure, I can't suppress my emotions...... Humanity can't defeat that thing, the only way is to escape, and the only thing to be thankful for is that it's still sleeping......"

When Leonardo da Vinci was writing a book, there seemed to be some shadow outside the window......

Suddenly, Leonardo da Vinci seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked at the window to his left.

"Squeak......

There was nothing outside the window, just the branches of some trees and the squeaks of birds. However, Da Vinci did not carelessly, but cautiously observed again, and finally confirmed that there was nothing.

Is it because you have too much heart......

There was some doubt in his heart, but he felt that the feeling of being watched in himself lingered, and after thinking about it again, he continued to write on the paper.

"I've been keeping this secret alone for thirty years, and I don't care about keeping it a few more years, but it seems that something in the dark has been eyeing me...... Therefore, in the name of the Elders, I implore all my brothers and sisters, please help me, help humanity, and keep this secret together......"

"Elder of the Xunshan Monastery - Leonardo da Vinci. ”

......

Half a year later, the famous scholar Leonardo da Vinci abruptly left Milan, where he had lived since his youth, and began to wander in Rome and Florence, and finally died in France.

After his death, the servant noticed that some of his correspondence documents seemed to have disappeared inexplicably......
