Chapter 217: The Departed Ancestor
"Moonstone in your hand?" Elijah's face suddenly changed again, and for Elijah, who had strong self-control, today may have been the most volatile day in recent times. First it was news of his father, and then news of the moonstone he had been searching for. He looked at Tang Bai's gaze a little wrong.
From the very beginning, the other party seemed to know their ancestral family very well. The feeling is intense. But what made Elijah feel bad was that they didn't know anything about Tang Bai. The only bit of pitiful information I got from two hapless vampires.
And Jacob and Hammer don't know Tang Bai as much as Phil. They only knew that Tang Bai was a very capable and special wizard, and he also kept some strange creatures as pets.
In addition, Tang Bai's origin and identity, etc., they are simply blank and don't know anything. Coupled with the secrecy of Tang Bai's spell, in this case, even if they were hypnotized by the ancestors, Elijah would not get much useful information.
Otherwise, Elijah and Klaus would not have needed to arrange such a dance party to meet Tang Bai and find out his purpose.
Moonstone.
Among werewolves and vampires, there is an old myth about a moonstone.
Legend has it that werewolves were free to transform and did not need to feel the unforgettable heartache when transforming. Vampires can also be exposed to the sun without shying away from the same as humans, instead of being able to only come out at night, as is the case now.
The reason for all of this is because of an Aztec spell. It restricts werewolves from transforming only on moonlit nights, and suffering the pain of that transformation. Vampires, on the other hand, have lost the ability to walk in sunlight.
According to the law that a long-lasting spell requires a carrier, the moonstone is the carrier of this shamanic curse spell. Legend has it that whether it is a vampire or a werewolf, whoever finds this moonstone and lifts the spell on it, whose race will have the upper hand when facing another race.
In fact, this legend has no real surname, which is absurd!
There's nothing wrong with Moonstone being a carrier of a curse, and it's not wrong that it's related to the vampire and werewolf races, but that's just Klaus deliberately carved it into a stone wall in order to get the werewolf and vampire races to help him find the moonstone.
Its real function is an important tool for unlocking the spell on Klaus's body. A hybrid of werewolves and vampires, Klaus was sealed by his own mother, the powerful witch who single-handedly created them, with a spell sealing his werewolf side.
For thousands of years, Klaus, who wanted to be more powerful, wanted to unravel this spell. At some stage, he was even on the verge of fulfilling his wishes. But in the end, he fell short. Another important item to break the spell, the doppelganger Catherine escapes and takes his piece of moonstone with her.
Eventually, in order to create the illusion that she was dead and to avoid Klaus's hundreds of years of relentless pursuit of her, Catherine made a deal with Moonstone and George Lockwood of Mystic Falls. And after Tang Bai used the truth elixir to get the exact location of the moonstone from the mouth of the captive George Lockwood, when Tang Bai left Mystic Falls Town, the moonstone naturally fell into his hands.
This is what Tang Bai really holds in his hands, the bargaining chips for trading with the ancestors, or Klaus.
Of course, the existence of a unique white oak tree, and the method of killing Michaelson, can also be used as bargaining chips. But Tang Bai would never do this. He still needs his ancestral father Michaelson to live, and he is constantly chasing after his several ancestral children to flee all over the world.
This is conducive to Tang Bai's next move and layout. Without the restraint and staring of Klaus and other ancestors, Tang Bai's start in this city would be much smoother and easier. Preferably, as they remembered, Klaus and they still need to be closely pursued by their father Michelson for a hundred years or so, so that Klaus, who is also ambitious, has no intention of caring about anything else.
Even if this period of Klaus's embarrassment was reduced and weakened by Tang Bai's arrival, after Tang Bai borrowed his foothold here to gain a firm foothold, Klaus would not be able to cause him any big trouble enough to affect the foundation.
The Ancestors must leave here.
Because only when they left here could Tang Bai show his strength without any worries.
"It's in." Tang Bai nodded and replied.
"Have you seen Katarina? What did you do with her? Elijah looked at Tang Bai in a daze.
Catherine took the moonstone, and Elijah knew that. She wouldn't give up the moonstone that was so close to her life, Elijah knew better. Tang Bai got the moonstone, so whether the moonstone was obtained by Tang Bai personally from Catherine, it means that there must have been something major happening around Catherine that he didn't know.
As the first woman to make him feel haunted since he was transformed into a vampire ancestor, even if Catherine once distrusted him and betrayed him and Klaus, he still has some hidden love and worry for Catherine.
"She's fine. I got the moonstone from someone who had traded with Catherine. Tang Bai said very seriously: "Tomorrow at the latest, I need to see the magic book I want and send it to me intact." Of course, if you have collected other witch magic books, as long as they are precious enough, you can also bring them to me, and I will give you corresponding benefits. ”
Elijah opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he didn't open his mouth. A little time had passed between the words, and Klaus was about to wake up. Elijah, who knew very well that his rebellious brother's surname, was not happy that Klaus would have another conflict with Tang Bai after he sobered up.
So Elijah simply said goodbye to Tang Bai and left the room with his sister Rebecca, who had been silent since hearing the news from her father.
After Elijah and the others really left, they took a deep breath, adjusted their minds, and calmed down Pearl looked at Tang Bai with some strange and incomprehensible eyes: "You asked Phil and them to find out the news of the vampire ancestors, risking a conflict with the ancestors, just to get the magic book in their hands?" ”
"So to speak." Tang Bai's originally upright body suddenly became decadent and weak, and he slumped on the soft back of the sofa and closed his eyes.
"Does this have anything to do with your plans?" The pearl was puzzled.
"It's just a collector's habit of mine. I'm a great curiosity about any witch's magic. Okay, you can go find out where the basement is and free Jacob and Hammer. Tang Bai raised an arm and waved it back and forth towards the pearl, opened his eyes and glanced at her. (To be continued.) )
