0305 The Golden Family
Tang Ding's next sword was not the chair, but the ear of the second mate.
The blood-drenched ears finally caused the second mate to scream in panic, and it also brought him great fear.
"I said, I said. ”
The second mate quickly and completely explained, but he spoke too fast, and Tang Ding only understood part of it the first time, and it wasn't until he repeated it again that Tang Ding basically understood what he meant.
The second officer of this freighter, a native of Southampton, is also the registered place of this freighter. He began working on ships at the age of 20, working his way up from crew to second officer.
When he was in the crew, he vaguely heard that the company where the ship was working had some background. It wasn't until he became second mate that he made it clear that the chairman of the shipping company was a royal earl, and he was also an earl with the title of queen.
What's even more terrifying is that this earl is still the legendary blood clan. Of course, he didn't see it with his own eyes, but he listened to the captain after drinking, and the captain had been in this company for thirty years and knew a lot more than him.
Although the shipping company carries out transportation business all over the world, there are always some very mysterious people, who get on and off the ship, and will carry some things, according to the captain's words, these people must be well fed and drunk, and they cannot be provoked, let alone offended.
Including this time when I set off from Tianjin, China, four people also came up two hours before the boat left, and these four people also brought a Chinese girl up, and shortly after they came up, two of them got off the boat again.
Later, without saying a word, the freighter bypassed the South China Sea from Tianjin, went through Malacca, crossed the Indian Ocean, passed through the Red Sea, took the Suez Canal, and then crossed the Mediterranean, stopping for two hours in the British port city of Southampton, and the two men disembarked with the girl.
He didn't know exactly where they were going, but he had heard the captain say that they were going to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.
However, he repeatedly reiterated that he had only heard from the captain, and he was not sure if it was true.
He said that the captain had gone down, because he had a good friend here in London, and every time he docked in the port of London, he would go to find him, but he didn't know exactly where the captain's good friend lived.
Tang Ding finally didn't kill the second mate, killing him didn't help, and Tang Ding was not a murderous person.
"Edinburgh?"
Tang Ding is not afraid of going, but he is afraid that the news is not true, and it is not a big deal to go for nothing, but he is afraid that he will delay the opportunity to save Mu Liu.
However, Tang Ding has no news of Mu Liu now, even if he goes to Southampton, I am afraid that he will not be able to find it.
"Go, let's go to Edinburgh. ”
Don Ding made up his mind in an instant, but now he needed to find someone to help, and that person was Sophie.
Sophie is a blood family, and some things are better communicated with insiders.
Tang Ding called Sophie and asked her if she could do her a favor, and Sophie readily agreed. Tang Ding only helped her obtain the Hand of Cain, the holy weapon of the Blood Clan, a few days ago, and now that Tang Ding asked for help, of course she would not refuse.
Although the blood clan is a dark race, it has its own pride, which is manifested in promises, that is, keeping promises.
Dondin and Sophie agreed to meet in Edinburgh, but Sophie said that he would come directly and that he would be in Edinburgh now.
When Downing arrived in Edinburgh, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and Sophie was literally waiting for him at Edinburgh station at the beginning of the night.
"What do you want me to help with?" asked Sophie.
"I would like to ask you what is the connection between the blood clans, for example, the blood clans of all Europe, are there any subordinate relations between them?" Don Ding did not answer Sophie's words first, but asked rhetorically.
"If we talk about subordination, it is not considered to be subordinate, but although our blood family has different branches, and each branch also has its own policy, but if we talk about the ancestor of the blood family, there is only one, and that is Cain, who was born to Adam and Eve. Cain should be the ancestor of our blood clan, and the ancestors have their own branches, and the branches bloom and scatter, so there is now a blood clan with many branch factions. ”
"And which branch are you?" asked Dondin.
"I'm afraid my branch of the Blood Clan is a bit big, I became a Blood Clan through the first embrace of Count Dracula, and the Dracula family is the golden family of our Blood Clan, and it is also the most noble branch of the Blood Clan. In addition, there are many small branches of the blood clan, and they also develop their own members, so they don't have to listen to the orders of our golden family. In fact, even within the gold family, there are many branches. ”
"And who is this branch of Edinburgh?" asked Dondin, pretending to be casual in his face.
"The branch of Edinburgh is the Earl of Edward, Edinburgh Castle, of course, this count of Edward is a knighthood from the Queen of England, but in our bloodline, he is not an earl, but a viscount. Just like me, I'm a viscount in the Bloodline. Because I, like Edward, were first embraced by Count Dracula, so our seniority is relatively high, and now the blood clan is withering, as far as I know, among the current blood clan, Count Dracula should be the blood clan with the highest title!"
After Sophie's explanation, Don Ding probably understood the structure of the blood clan.
At the very top of the bloodline, the ancestor was Cain. Under Cain, it has been passed down from generation to generation, or after the hunt of the paladin, and the changes of the times, although the blood clan has a long life, it is not immortal, at least under the hunt of the paladin, the blood clan is also constantly depleted.
In modern times, the paladins have largely disappeared, but the Bloodline has not grown because there are too few people who are qualified to become a Bloodline.
Because it is not an easy task to become a blood clan, it is necessary to have understanding, endurance, and most importantly, to go through the test of death, and the process of initial embracing is an extremely dangerous process, if the qualifications are not good, it is easy to resist the cleansing process after bloodletting, resulting in death.
There are fewer people who are qualified to become vampires, and vampires can't find new supporters, this is the change of society, and the vampire family seems to be prosperous and powerful, but in fact, the number is decreasing.
Among these dwindling blood races, Count Dracula is a very powerful existence, and even his vein is the backbone of the blood race, known as the golden family.
And Sophie, as well as Edward, the owner of this Edinburgh castle, are the next generation of vampires who were first embraced by this Count Dracula.
In other words, Sophie's identity and this Edward's identity are equal existence in the entire blood clan, and they are both viscounts.
