Chapter 48: The Secret (Part II)
Liao Qi, who had just pulled out a book, stopped again when he heard this.
"Save your brother?"
The figure of a chubby little boy suddenly appeared in his mind.
For this Zhengtai, who looks a little cute at first glance, Liao Qi couldn't help but ask as if he wanted to confirm:
"You mean... Addy? ”
"Hmph, otherwise I have any other brothers besides him?"
Eluna sat on the steps, with a visibly unhappy look on her face.
It seemed that the girl didn't want to, so she just sat and waited for Liao Qi to find a useful book, and she continued to talk as if to pass the time.
"Ten years ago, Mother was the most powerful existence in our entire bloodline."
At that time, she was stronger than her father now, and she was only half a step away from being the first "epic" demon in the Demon Islands in history. ”
Speaking of this, Eluna paused slightly, and the girl after that subconsciously clenched her fists.
"But at this juncture, our good brother has disappeared from the castle."
"Missing?"
Liao Qi walked on the first floor of the library.
He searched for the skill book in the order he remembered, and he also paid attention to the message from Eluna's mouth.
And it was after the girl's words that Liao Qi poked his head out of the bookshelf.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
Shaking her head, Eluna's crimson eyes didn't know what was going on.
She just said quietly:
"The specific situation, we still don't know, but that day, the search and rescue team sent by the academy finally brought back only the younger brother who fell into a coma, and the lifeless one..."
"Mother's cold corpse."
There was not a single fluctuation in Eluna's tone, as if she was just recounting a fact.
However, Liao Qi caught a strange point from it.
"A search and rescue team from the Academy?"
"Will the academy also interfere in this kind of thing?"
Liao Qi asked puzzledly, and at the same time, a very classic skill book was successfully found by him.
【Shadow Step (Blue Skill Book】
[Required Level: 35]
[Remaining Learning Sessions: 5/5]
The color of the skill book represents the quality, and the top is white, green, blue, purple, orange, and blue, which has reached the "rare" level, which means that the skill has at least one "characteristic".
The characteristic of [Shadow Walk] is the "Concealment" attribute.
Compared with Liao Qi's side, the excitement of the hole cards in his heart, Ailuna, who was sitting on the stairs, was obviously not in such a good mood.
"We entrusted the academy with it."
"There has been such a big incident, even if it is our blood clan, it is not comparable to the search ability of the academy."
The girl put down her crossed legs, she propped up the steps with her hands, craned her neck, and recalled:
"But it's ridiculous to say."
"Even the academy, which has always been omnipotent, has not been able to find the identity of the other party until the end, in other words, we don't even have a clue who killed our mother."
Liao Qi passed by Eluna and walked towards the second floor of the library.
He hesitated, but asked anyway.
"You haven't doubted that the academy is directing and acting itself?"
"Huh."
Eluna looked at Liao Qi's back as he went upstairs and chuckled.
"You underestimate the power of the academy too much, they don't need this at all, and they don't need to be so troublesome at all."
"That's right..."
Seeing that the girl seemed reluctant to continue this topic, Liao Qi's voice changed and began to ask about another thing that he was very concerned about.
"What about Zero, as you said before, she's your mother's family, or a head, uh..."
"Pterodactyl?"
Liao Qi said that this term is very unfamiliar to his hardcore players.
"A pterosaur is naturally a dragon without wings."
"It can also be called... Deformed dragon species. ”
It was as if the mention of zero made Eluna much more relaxed, and she began to shake her legs without the inhibitions she had before.
"Now that I think about it, I seem to understand a little bit why Zero is so close to you."
"I don't even know where to ask questions."
At the first glance after going up to the second floor, Liao Qi locked onto the cover of the parchment roll that was all too familiar in his memory.
In the entire Blood Clan Castle, the only purple skill book...
[Bad blood]!
However, he didn't make any big moves on the surface, but continued to ask Eluna questions.
"But more than Zero's attitude towards me, I want to know why the vampire who is the master has fallen, but she can continue to survive?"
"Also, no matter how you look at it, Zero is a humanoid monster, right? I can't help but associate her with dragons. ”
Ailuna looked at Liao Qi, who asked a series of questions, and the expression on her face was a little different.
She didn't answer at first, but asked back.
"These... Didn't Erin tell you anything about Zero? ”
As soon as the words fell, Eluna herself seemed to react, and she seemed to be asking an idiot's question.
The girl thought for a while, as if she was considering whether to reveal it.
But in the end, she still stretched her waist and told this secret story.
"This point, the academy has given an explanation, it should be that my mother took the initiative to cut off her contract with her family in an extremely weak near-death state before her death."
Extremely weak... NDE?
Can the contract be severed?
Liao Qi grasped the most powerful point for him.
How to get rid of the "fetters contract" on his body has always been his biggest concern.
Eluna didn't know what Liao Qi was thinking in her heart, she just continued to say what she knew.
"As a final result, Zero was spared the fate of dying with her mother, but she could no longer maintain her dragon form after suffering a backlash."
"This matter, except for a few elders in the clan, as well as those of us who are members of the main line, know about it, and the rest of the blood clan in the ancient castle all thought that Zero had died with his mother a long time ago."
"The reason why the current zero is called zero is that it only conforms to the code name of the maid."
Suddenly, her tone was a little longer, and Ai Luna, who was facing away from Liao Qi, finally said in a tone with a little deep meaning:
"After all, neither my father nor the elders of the clan want the blood clan below to know, it turns out..."
"The so-called unbreakable bond contract can also have..."
"The way to get rid of it."
There was a brief silence in the library, and as if Aluna and Liao Qi had made an appointment, no one said anything more.
After maintaining this state for a few breaths, it was Liao Qi who broke it first.
He finally walked in front of the familiar parchment scroll, but the message that came to his eyes afterwards was the first time, and he couldn't help but let out a sound.
