0 Forest of Eternal Night

"Hmm...... Lord ...... Is this where the vampire clan lives?......" Ouyang Taxue asked uneasily, grabbing Jue's clothes uneasily.

"Ah, you haven't been to the Forest of Eternal Night. Jue said as he controlled the ball of light.

Now they are in a deep forest where they can't see their fingers. Even though it was around noon, there was no light in the forest at all—thick, blackened green leaves intersected with each other, and the overlapping leaves sealed the sky with no light.

This is the Forest of Eternal Night, where the vampires live.

"I didn't expect there to be such an unreasonable natural scene here......" Ying Ning said as she looked around.

"Almost 100 million years ago, there was a massive demon crusade. According to records, nearly 200 million demons were slaughtered in this battle......"

"200 million demons?!so many?!" Ying Ning said in disbelief.

"Ah, the Chosen One has put all their main forces into it, and the royal race has formed a coalition to attack. And at that time, people had a way to lure a lot of demons over, so there was such a battle. Jue understood Ying Ning's surprise, "But the combat effectiveness of the royal race at that time was also very high." ”

"Do you mean that the current royal race is not as strong as it used to be?"

"Ah, the former royal race was more like a bunch of barbarians. At that time, once the dragon clan went to war, they followed ...... Well, what is the analogy? Ahhhhhh And the Protoss is not as kind as it is now, very strong. ”

"What about the demons?"

"Demon ...... I remember telling you before that the demons used to have a high fighting power. Jue said, "You can think that you are at the bottom level of the demon army. ”

"Is it so strong?!" Ying Ning said in surprise.

Although it's not Ying Ning's boast, but as the second in the Hundred Soldiers Array, he can only rank at the bottom at that time, then the previous demon clan should be very strong. And at that time, the combat power between the royal races was about the same as now, so the previous royal races should have been very strong......

"Then why are we not as good as the people we used to be?" asked Yingning.

If the ancestors were so strong, the current people should be stronger, but why are the current people not as good as before?

"It's saturated with power. And how many people have you seen who can live for more than 100 million years?" Jue asked.

"That's ......," Ying Ning said after a moment's thought.

Although it is not impossible for high-level species to live for 100 million years, it is also very difficult. Even if someone can live for more than 100 million years, then he must have used "power saturation", otherwise it would be difficult to survive for that long.

By the way, Ying Ning is not a person who does not know people who have lived for 100 million years. For example, Shani's mother's ancestors are still alive and well, and they write letters to celebrate every time Shani celebrates her birthday. It's just that no one has ever seen what Shani's mother's ancestors looked like, because when a high-level species lives too long, they will enter a state of seclusion, from a participant in the world to a bystander. Of course, this is not without its disadvantages, sometimes it happens because no one finds out after being killed by demons, and their own residence and corpse will also become relics or relics found by future generations. Of course, ancestors like Chani's mother's side only exist in large families, and people like Rebion, who were originally just dependents, generally don't have ancestors who say this (and will not be connected).

"Ha, by the way, this guy Daolong seems to be 300 million years old. Jue smiled and said, "No wonder that guy smells of antiques." ”

"Is Lord Dao Long old?!" Ying Ning was shocked, he couldn't tell Dao Long's age at all, although there was indeed something about Dao Long's age in Dragon City being older than Dragon City.

Just when Ying Ning and Jue were still chatting, Jue noticed that Ouyang Taxue on the side had a somewhat wrong expression. She looked at Jue and Ying Ning as if she was stupid.

"What's wrong? It looks like you've seen something amazing. Jue said suspiciously.

"Three...... 300 million years old......" Ouyang asked tremblingly, "Dragon, are the dragons that old?......?"

"Ah, this thing. Jue smiled and said, "It seems that you don't know yet, you are the youngest among the people you have seen in Dragon City." ”

When he was in the southern kingdom of Bannan, Jue learned that Ouyang Taxue's age was twenty-two years old. Although he looks like he is the same age as Xia Ni, Ouyang Taxue is still very young compared to Xia Ni.

So, Jue explained the ecology of the dragon clan to Ouyang Taxue, and used Ying Ning's age as an example to let Ouyang Taxue better understand.

But he never thought that when Ouyang Taxue learned about Ying Ning's age of more than two thousand years, he was directly blinded. She looked at Ying Ning, and then said in surprise, "No, is Ying Ning so old?"

"If you add an adult, please don't use the word 'old' to describe me, thank you. Ying Ning said speechlessly, "I'm somewhat young in the Dragon Clan. ”

Ouyang Taxue still looked at Ying Ning with disbelieving eyes.

"And Jue, this guy is obviously about the same!" Ying Ning pointed at Jue and said.

"Lord?...... You are also more than two thousand years old?!" Ouyang Taxue turned his head and looked at Jue.

"Ah~ It's only 1,500 years old, I became like this halfway. Jue said embarrassedly.

Because only some of Jue's memories entered Ouyang Taxue's brain, Ouyang Taxue did not know Jue's age, and the only memory fragment about Jue's age was Jue leaning against a broken wall, his face was haggard, and then he stretched out his arm with rotten sores and looked at it and said, "How long have I lived?...... Ha~ I can't remember ......"

Although the dominant person in the memory is Jue, whenever he thinks of such a scene, Ouyang Taxue feels cold. Because that scene was so terrifying.

"Fifteen hundred years old...... Ouyang Taxue looked at Jue in surprise, "I thought you were only two or three hundred years old." And Lord, aren't you a Terran?"

If the human race survives for two or three hundred years, it is not impossible to return Tong Dan, so Ouyang Taxue has always thought that Jue is a guy who is super rich and can afford to return Tong Dan to continue his life. But the words of more than a thousand years old really made Ouyang Taxue start to doubt Jue's race.

"Ahaha, there's no way you can't see it......" Jue said with a smile, "I thought what happened during my experience would make you deduce that I wasn't a Terran." ”

"But, but the Lord says that your ID card says that you are a Terran. ”

"It's not so much a Terran as a Half-Human. Jue said with a wry smile, "And the previous demi-humans were all products created through experiments, so there were no survival cases, so in the eyes of people now, the de-humans do not exist." ”

"Lord ......" Ouyang Taxue looked at Jue. Because in Jue's memory, there is indeed a picture of him being tied to the operating table and injected with unknown drugs, but Jue was still a child at that time.

She sympathizes with Jue, but at the same time she is also afraid that those terrible guys who take human life as a child's play will not exist in this era.

At this moment, Jue suddenly stopped, and Ying Ning also looked around vigilantly. Although Ouyang Taxue was half a beat slower, he quickly realized the breath of people around him.

"Is it welcome to me?" Jue said to the empty forest in front of him.

Just a few seconds after Jue finished speaking, several clouds of black mist began to condense, and then turned into many human forms.

Under the effect of the lighting spell used by Jue, Jue and his party were able to see the appearance of the person in front of them.

There were about six people, men and women, each dressed in a Gothic dress. They are fair-skinned...... No, it's pale skin and slightly pointed ears. And their eyes are all bright red and look very oozing. These men all wore yellow armbands on their sleeves, embroidered with two fangs crossed into the emblem.

"Are you Your Excellency Jue, an emissary from the Dragon Clan?" said a man who started with a deep bow.

The man looked gentlemanly, not so much aristocratic as a butler.

"That's right, it's me. Jue said.

"I have come to escort you on the orders of Lord Wing Ye Vagaslo Van Zhuo, the leader of the Vampire Conservative Party. The man said.

At this moment, another man and woman came out from the depths of the jungle, and when they saw Jue and his party, they showed a salute, and then went to find the person who greeted Jue. But what is frightening is that the gang just now was covered in blood, and even their entire hands were stained red with blood. Under the light of Jue's illumination spell and the already pale skin of the vampire people, it looks terrifying and terrifying.

"Lord Gangero, those scum have been disposed of. "A woman who takes the lead looks like a child...... No, it should be a Lori who said after saluting the person.

"Well done, warrior of House Toledo. "I'm sure Master Vagasloe will reward you accordingly." ”

Ying Ning had a bad premonition after listening to the conversation of these people, could it be that there was some tragic battle when they didn't notice?

"It seems that your opponent is very dangerous. Jue said with an attitude that had nothing to do with himself.

"That's right, but the people hired by the other side obviously didn't expect our actions. The little Lori said, "Asamai seems to have chosen the wrong employer." ”

After hearing this, Jue nodded and said, "Is the other party planning to kill us before we meet you, so that your Conservatives will not only lose the help of the Dragons, but also make the Dragons turn against you because of the killing of the messenger, so as to increase the chances of the Dragons supporting the Radical Party......?"

"It seems that the messenger sent by the dragons is not a fool. "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm a member of the conservative faction, a member of the Gangero family, you can call me by my name. ”

"I'm Lisa, a member of the Toledo family, and allow me to join the team escorting you. Lori whispered.

Although Jue and these people reached a consensus, Ying Ning and Ouyang Taxue on the side were confused.

After Jue saw these two people like this, he explained: "This time, we are directly communicating with the conservatives of the vampire clan through the upper echelons of the dragon clan, so it can be said that the dragon clan has tacitly agreed that they will establish diplomatic relations with the conservatives. Therefore, if this news reaches the radicals, it will give them the message that the dragons think you are thieves, so the radicals may assassinate us to tell the dragons that the conservatives are not capable of protecting the dragons, and use this to lower the image of the conservatives within the dragons. ”

"Then what if the Dragon Clan sends someone to the radical faction again?" asked Ying Ning.

"If you send someone out once before and someone dies, you won't send out people again. Ouyang Taxue said in a low voice at this time.

"Hmph, it seems that Ouyang Taxue is smarter than you. Jue said with a smile.

Although Ying Ning was very unconvinced, she still said that she understood the truth.

"Your Excellency, please come with me. Denham said.

Jue nodded, and then walked towards Denham. Although Ouyang Taxue followed Jue, he was still very afraid of these vampires, so he kept holding one of Jue's arms.

Jue obviously saw Ouyang Taxue's fear, so she didn't care about Ouyang Taxue, which was more than her identity.

After walking towards Denham, the surrounding vampires began to surround them.

Just as Ying Ning and Ouyang Taxue were still confused, the black qi began to wrap them up.

"Ha, is this a way to move?" Jue smiled, not flustered at all.

After a few seconds, the black air cleared, and the three of them were greeted by a hall with Gothic decoration like a medieval church. It is the United House of Munster Center, the capital of the vampire clan in the southern part of the Eternal Night Forest, and a castle left over from the vampire nobility of the monarchy.

Inside this hall are many coffins.

"I'm sorry, but this is a place where I can bring you secrets. Denham said. "This is the heart of the Eternal Night Forest, the sanctuary and capital of the vampire clan. ”

The area of the Eternal Night Forest is large enough to accommodate many countries, and the total area is equivalent to one-third of the territory ruled by an emperor or emperor.

"It's fine. Jue beckoned in understanding, and then he asked, "These coffins are ......?"

"Victims of the previous spell chain. Denham said, stroking the coffin.

Jue was silent.

In fact, Jue knows roughly what happened. Due to the emergence of spell chains, a large number of vampire people are dying. And in the face of this catastrophe, the two factions of the vampire clan have serious differences. Radicals believe that the chain should be quickly identified and eradicated, while conservatives believe that people who have already had a chain reaction should be treated and treated. As a result, the two factions were at odds and delayed the best time for treatment, leading to a huge increase in the number of people who died as a result of the chain.

In addition, the differences between the two parties are not a day or two, so this time it has become a real split in the vampire clan.

"Please go to your room and rest first. At this moment, someone opened the door to the room and naturally came up and spoke.

What came was a person dressed like a maid, who looked like a mature woman, full of royal sister style.

"I am here to serve as your attendant during Lord Jue's visit here. With that, the man bowed, "You can call me Merlot." ”

Jue nodded.

"Then please come with me. Melo said and led Jue and the others to their room. When they arrived, Merlot arranged a room for them.

"Since the main object of protection this time is Lord Jue, I have wronged the two people who live in the guest room of Lord Jue's room. Melo said.

"The guest room," Jue nodded to express his satisfaction, "I didn't expect the conservative people of the vampire clan to be so generous and directly bring the main room to entertain us." ”

The room that Jue received was an orthodox suite with a guest room. According to the general situation, Jue should live in a mass-produced guest room, and is not eligible to live in the main room.

"This certainly shows that Lord Vagsloh values you. And generally speaking, it's a habitual way of thinking to let guests stay in the guest room, so it's better to let you stay in the main room, isn't it?" said Merlot, and pulled the curtain back.

"Wow~ It's so beautiful outside......" Ouyang Taxue said as he looked at the scene outside the window.

It's pitch black outside, but you can see the stars in the sky.

Although Ying Ning was also moved by this scene, she still looked at the time suspiciously.

"It's not night, is it?, why is there such a scene?" asked Ying Ning.

"It's actually still in the forest. "It's just that the leaves here are sparse and let in some sunlight, so there's such a starlight-like scene." As a result, many vampire cities are built in such places. ”

"It's still in the forest...... Ah, is it true that vampires can't see the sun?" asked Ouyang Taxue.

"No, vampires can see the sun. Jue shook his head and said, "It is true that modern vampires in the past could not see the sun, but over time, vampire people can also live under the sun. ”

Ouyang Taxue's eyes widened after hearing this, and he said, "Eh~ Is it so amazing?"

"Not being able to see the sun is also an inherent thought. Merlot smiled, "We sometimes communicate with people outside, so we also have to act in the sun. Those who died at the sight of the light were just former vampires. ”

"Time is amazing, even this habit can be changed. Ouyang Taxue said in admiration.

After hearing this, Jue frowned and said, "No...... Things are not as good as you think...... The change in the habits of the vampire clan is a very bloody thing......"

"Huh?" Ouyang was stunned.

Jue snorted and said, "The vampire clan didn't exist in this world before. At the beginning, due to the spread of demons and evil in the Demon Domain, the Terrans in the Demon Domain faced the biggest existential crisis, so they sought strength from the Chosen One. One of the Chosen One used the curse method to bestow the same power as the middle ranks, but the negative effect was a fear of sunlight and a thirst for primordial killing and blood. However, the spell was not the only one, due to the rush of time, the Chosen did not have enough time to check the rigor of the spell, which also led to the spell making mistakes - some people were affected by the spell and were too hungry for blood and killing, which also led to the human race starting to fight with mad vampires. The battle was fierce, but it did eliminate many of the mad vampires, but it also made the vampires who did not go mad lose the trust of the people, so they lived in seclusion. Later, the defects of the spell developed for the better, which allowed the vampires to live in the sun. ”

"Wow~ What a bloody development history...... Ying Ning said.

"Indeed, even now from our point of view. Merlot said beside her, "Lord Jue knows our history very well. ”

"Well, there are some things I know. Jue nodded. Then he asked, "When is Lord Vagaslo free?" I want to see him now." ”

"Master Vagaslot has said that he will come to you in person when you arrive, and you don't need to go to him. ”

"Is it really because you want to keep me safe?"

Merlot closed her eyes and nodded, but did not speak.

Just then, someone opened the door.

Standing at the door was a young man who looked like a great Western aristocrat. He has gray hair and exudes a sense of vicissitudes different from his age. His bright red eyes were as bright as Jue's eyes, as if he could see through everything.

His gaze scanned the room and then focused on Jue's body.

"Are you the messenger sent by the dragons? You look younger than I thought. The man said in a magnetic voice.

"You're Vagaslo, you're much younger than the Elders. Jue's face replied to the other party without changing his face.

This is the end of the conversation between the two, and the room is filled with an atmosphere called "silence", and it is enough to make people suffocating.

However, perhaps because Jue's side was more oppressive, Vagaslo still avoided the pressure on Jue first.

"Just call me Vargaslot. With that, Vargeslow turned and left.

After confirming that Vargeslo was leaving, Ouyang Taxue let out a long sigh and said, "I really didn't expect it...... The oppressive power of the middle-level species is so strong......"

"Ah, it's comparable to a mid-level dragon. Ying Ning agreed. However, although Ying Ning felt the oppressive force, she did not show it. For Ying Ning, he had already felt all the oppressive force unleashed by the anger of the High Ranks—the way Shani or Rebion looked when they were angry.

Jue sat quietly on the side with a solemn face at this time, and didn't say anything.

The guy's body...... With what power......
