Chapter 35: The Blood Demon
Near the exit of the woods, Xuanyu meets Mo'an, who has arrived in a hurry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info From the moment Xuanyu disappeared into the chair, Mo An, who didn't know the details of Xuanyu, had been worried about the safety of his friend, and the water mirror could not transmit any information, so he could only hurry to the woods to find out, but fortunately, he saw Xuanyu immediately, and a big stone finally fell to the ground.
"Xuanyu, what's going on?" Mo An still couldn't resist his curiosity, he asked as he looked into the woods.
"Lucia is inside," Xuanyu did not answer Moan's question, "and when she is calm, you go and tell her that I have important business, and ask her to wait for me at the fountain in front of the castle." ”
After Xuanyu dropped this sentence and Mo An, who couldn't figure out the situation, he left quickly. Moan turned and walked into the woods. The woods were so quiet that he didn't hear Lucia's laughter, nor did he see her running around frantically. It's just that behind the big stone, a weak body is curled up there, because it is facing away from Mo An, he can't see Lucia's expression, he can only see her weak shoulders trembling violently, and there is a bitter cry in his ears.
Mo An finally knew why Xuanyu left silently, and it was time to give her a little time. Mo An didn't leave, didn't say a word, just stood there quietly and waited.
The excitement and joy just now was completely faked, or rather, it was more appropriate to force herself to pretend to be hard, because if she didn't do this, Lucia would lose control in front of Xuanyu.
Tears are something new to Lucia. She has not shed a single tear since she was five years old, and she once vowed that she would never cry in her life. Therefore, when she noticed that her body had changed, when she was caught by the Praetorian Guards and thrown into prison, when the spiritual power of her whole body was sucked dry, when she was pressed to the court to say goodbye to this world, she couldn't help crying.
The master once said to her that there are so many sad things in this world, why don't you make yourself happy?, so Lucia deliberately pretended to be coarse, and the accumulated pressure overwhelmed her, and it was only because of that oath that she had to restrain her feelings. Now that my life as a human being is over, I can finally cry happily! Despite this self-deprecation, Lucia's tears could not be dried.
The autumn wind is bleak, and the leaves in the woods are numerous. The birds, as if frightened by the cold wind, flapped their wings a few times and flew out of the woods. The wings slid across the sky in the warm sunlight, and a feather swirled and fell, just floating into Xuanyu's palm. He glanced playfully at it, lifted it up, and let it dance in the autumn wind. The fountain behind Xuanyu is still clear, the slightly cold wind carries water droplets on the petals, and the fragrance of flowers in the air is refreshing.
Listening to Moan's words, Lucia came from the woods to the front yard and took in the beautiful scenery, she knew that this was a paradise that could calm people, and this tranquility was thanks to the magic of the holy water spirits, so that all sorrows and troubles stopped here, and cleansed the souls of men.
Xuanyu raised a hand, stretched out his five fingers, and immediately several holy water spirits that were exactly the same as Xuanyu landed in his palm
"Water spirits have no form, they perceive the appearance of the summoner, they transform into human form, for them, it doesn't matter whose face it is, what matters is who summoned them. Since the early days of Chaos, there have been wars between the various races in this world, and for thousands of years, the disappearance of disappearance, the reproduction of reproduction, and the fusion of fusions have changed more or less. But only this elemental elf has remained its original appearance from ancient times to the present...... They pay more attention to the heart than to the appearance, they are more willing to perceive than to get, appearance, race, attributes...... This kind of thing, the more you don't care about it, the purer it is. As if talking to herself, Xuanyu suddenly asked after sighing, "What do you think?"
"Human feelings are too delicate, and they suffer from gains and losses, whether they are wise and stupid, but in a hurry, where is the time to think so thoroughly...... Lucia said lightly.
"After all, it's still a matter of care. Xuanyu turned around and saw Lucia's eyes swollen like peaches, and suddenly wanted to laugh, but he still held back.
"Mr. Moan asked me to come and say that you have something important...... I don't know if it's because of the severe swelling of her eyes, Lucia doesn't seem to have much energy, "but I also have important things to ask you." ”
Say. Xuanyu had been prepared, and he could guess what Lucia was going to ask.
"I ......," Lucia hesitated, "can't you not suck blood?"
"No, in that case, I'll be like a normal human. Xuanyu said as she played with the holy water elf.
"That's all?" Lucia shouted, "What's so bad about being an ordinary human and letting me suck other people's blood for this?" Lucia roared, and the holy water spirit was startled, and disappeared like a blister.
Xuanyu frowned and looked directly at Lucia: "What's wrong? I'll tell you, I'll die." ”
Lucia was stunned.
Xuanyu continued: "Even if I become an ordinary human, I won't last long, if I die......" Xuanyu stepped forward, bent down, and leaned close to Lucia's ear, "You won't live either." ”
Lucia was excited, she turned her face and looked into Xuanyu's deep eyes, he didn't look like he was lying.
"Don't forget," Xuanyu straightened up and continued, "we are one, and I am the main body. After saying that, Xuanyu smiled and returned to the fountain, "Besides, many things are involuntary. ”
"But the bloodsucking thing ......," Lucia was torn in.
"Perhaps, do you still think of yourself as a human being?" Xuanyu suddenly became serious, "Don't forget, you are a blood demon now, and the blood demon is to suck blood, otherwise you will die." All you have to do is not kill, not bloodthirsty, just live. ”
"But, to suck blood!" Lucia still struggled with the word "bloodsucking."
"That's good to eat instead, if you like. Xuanyu smiled slightly and said gently, "It's no different from your usual meat, besides, you won't die if you don't eat meat, but now if you don't suck blood, we'll all die, do you understand?"
Lucia nodded thoughtfully.
"So put away your hypocritical heart and live for real. Xuanyu said this very hard.
Lucia's body trembled, she looked up, anger took over her face, she opened her mouth to refute, but she couldn't say anything, she knew that her heart had been convinced. Besides, the sweetness of the blood is so tempting...... Looking back on this life, I am destined not to be a saint, so I should be a monster, publicize it to my heart's content, and experience and enjoy being alive again.
Her nose was sore, tears fell again, and Lucia said intermittently: "But...... But...... To suck human blood...... I can't get out of my mouth......"
Xuanyu walked over, helped her wipe her tears, gently took her into his arms, and said something that did not match his behavior: "Idiot, I'm not a picky eater." ”
"Huh?" Lucia pulled out the head buried in Xuanyu's arms, and threw him a questioning look with tears on her face.
"Whether it's humans, livestock, or monsters, as long as there is blood, you can suck it. ”
"So casual?" Xuanyu's words made Lucia's eyes light up instantly, "That is, I used to eat pork, and now I eat pig's blood?"
"As long as you like, but the higher the level of the blood provider, the faster my abilities will recover. To put it bluntly, if you suck a human dry, it's the same as sucking a thousand rats dry, and if you think about it, which is the greater sin to kill one or kill a thousand?"
"However, humans are different from rats. Lucia argued.
"Of course it's different, otherwise how can it be a thousand? Besides, if you want, a person can suck a few mouthfuls of blood, and if you suck hundreds of people in one breath, no one will die, but there is some anemia, but that is very troublesome. ”
After a few seconds of silence, Lucia decided not to dwell on the issue: "You said just now that the blood of youkai is okay?"
"As long as it has blood. Xuanyu said simply.
"Aren't you disgusting?" Lucia raised her eyebrows, she had already made up a lot of scenes when she said this. She couldn't help but crack her mouth and vomit.
Xuanyu combed his slender fingers into his hair along the scalp from front to back, he shook his head, and said helplessly: "Miss, the person who sucks blood is you, I won't feel disgusting." Xuanyu paused, as if remembering something, and a smile welled up on the corner of his mouth, "Besides, you've already tasted the blood of rats." ”
"Oh?" Lucia's eyes widened, "when?"
"If you don't suck blood, you'll be hungry, and no matter how much you eat, it's a drop in the bucket. But last night, not only did you not go hungry, but you passed my test. Xuanyu said with a smug smile.
"Sure enough, you're a troublemaker, so I wonder why there are so many monsters in Crescent Manor!" Lucia said angrily.
"Anyway, it's Mo'an's 'janitor', so you don't have to use it in vain. Xuanyu smiled, "But you can't use this power well, don't worry, after eating, I still have important things to explain to you." ”
Looking at the smiling Xuanyu, I don't know if it was an illusion or a real thing, Lucia felt that the Xuanyu in front of her was indescribably strange compared to the few times she had encountered it before, and it seemed that something was different. However, Lucia knew little about Xuanyu and did not take it to heart, and obediently followed him into the castle.
Through the window on the third floor, Mo An, who had been looking at Xuanyu and Lucia, was very worried, compared to when Xuanyu first arrived at Agrim this time, his changes seemed to Mo An very big, and a trace of doubt crept up the corner of Mo An's eyes.
