Chapter 47: The Distant Past
The Comets are an ancient family that was born tens of thousands of years ago. The family's travels are almost all over the world, but few people have heard of their names, only Feng Xing has seen some relevant records in the Rocky family's library. Also known as the Exorcists, this family was once on the front line against evil spirits, and in that era of strong men, they were one of the few forces in the human population that could rival the Rolands.
The Codex left behind in the basement of the Yu Mansion mentions elves, which seem to be beings with the potential to become gods, unlike humans and any other living creatures, who do not have a physical body, but live in a more special way of time. They are everywhere and nowhere to be found, and very few creatures are aware of the presence of elves, but elves do not communicate with any living beings.
The Comet family is proud of its ability to summon elves, and it is said that their ancestor fell in love with a powerful elf and gave birth to a baby somewhere between a human and an elf. Combined with their own bloodline and a special method of sacrifice, they can summon newborn elves from the void to sign a contract with them, allowing them to fight in concert with their people.
Later, for unknown reasons, the family disappeared into history.
According to the Codex, it was a branch of the Comet family that migrated to Juyi City more than 300 years ago because they found a treasure place where they could build an altar. The author of the Codex vividly describes the joy of the people at that time, it seems that since the defeat of the evil spirits, such treasures have become less and less, and the comet family, which has been greatly damaged after the defeat of the evil spirits, has to hide, and gradually disperses to various places to develop secretly.
You must know that the elves are far more powerful than human imagination, even if they are newborn juveniles, they can fight back and forth with the human powerhouse, and one of the most famous elves of the comet family, "Red", once secretly had a secret fight with the royal guardian that the Roland people are proud of, and according to the grapevine, Red finally defeated the top powerhouse by a narrow margin. As long as an elf can be summoned, the comet family will have an opportunity to grow rapidly.
Matched by their great strength, summoning elves not only requires a lot of resources, but the entire sacrificial process is also surprisingly long. It is said that the longest sacrificial ritual in the history of the Comet family lasted for nearly four hundred years, and with it came the most powerful elven red in the history of the family. Because of this, even at the height of the Comet Family, they only signed a contract of cooperation with six elves.
The sacrifice lasted for nearly two hundred and eighty years, and was finally answered more than forty years ago by an elf who dreamed of a dazzling rainbow that spanned the entire world that night, and the coming elf was named "Rainbow". They have great expectations for the blessing of the only elf they have summoned for thousands of years, and they also hope that he can lead the comet family to prosperity again like Red tens of thousands of years ago.
This good news soon spread to the high-ranking people of several other branch families. Since the rainbow has not yet been fully born, all those in the know have strictly kept secrets, and several branches have also gathered a group of trusted family members to be transferred to Juyi City to serve as a garrison. These exorcists are not in a hurry, and the longer the ritual lasts, the more powerful the elves they acquire. This sacrificial ritual is close to three hundred years ago, and it will be a slightly more powerful spirit in the history of the family.
In the following commemoration, the Comet family became more and more low-key, avoiding any contact with the outside world as much as possible. But in the end, the accident happened.
Forty years ago, a fire broke out in the heavily guarded Yu Mansion. Although the fire was quickly extinguished, things turned out to be very strange. The garrison of the Yu Mansion at that time was even comparable to the king's palace, why did a fire break out without warning? After intense investigation and discussion, the top brass agreed that the fire might not have been an accident. So, they tightened their guard again.
The Comet Family's fears were justified, and since that night, strange figures have appeared in the mansion at night. The garrison fighters clashed with the mysterious figures, and even had a few deaths. Strangely, however, no one, including those involved in the fighting, was able to recall the details of the aftermath of the conflict.
The Comet family finally couldn't take it anymore, and they gathered a team of elite powerhouses to secretly participate in the nighttime garrison.
On that night, a fierce battle spread almost the entire Yu Mansion, a team of ten strong men were killed, three were wounded and five were wounded, and ordinary soldiers suffered heavy casualties. What's even more bizarre is that all the people involved in the battle swear that they have killed many enemies, but not only can they not find any blood at the scene, but those fighters can't even recall the appearance of the enemy.
For the next week, the Yu Mansion was never invaded again, and it seemed that the enemy had been killed by them, as the warriors had said. Gradually, the Yu Mansion regained its calm.
It wasn't until July 5 of that year that a sudden event completely crushed the lineage of the comet family. The mysterious figure has once again invaded the mansion.
Based on the vague memories of the family members, the enemy of that night seemed to be extremely crazy, but most of the family members who participated in the battle were only slightly injured, and none of them died, and the only one who was seriously injured was the main priest who everyone tried to protect him.
The connection between the Comet family and the elves is very special, and every member of the family can feel an indescribable connection between the family blood and the elves when they approach the altar. From that day on, they were horrified to find that their connection with the elves was weakening, until finally even the chief priest in charge of the ritual could not sense any breath.
The exorcists finally felt the fear.
In the tens of thousands of years of their family's history, they had never heard of such an event happening. What kind of power is it that is powerful enough to tear up the unbreakable contract between them and the elves?
But the Comet family was no longer the same as it was back then, and they didn't dare to continue to investigate, so after hurriedly packing their bags, they quickly left the city that had given them hope and sent them to hell.
"So...... Your name seems to be Rainbow! Duqi said to the elf behind him, "After listening to this story, do you remember anything?" For example, when you were asleep, did you feel anything abnormal? ”
"Hmm...... I felt the call, and then it wasn't! But I've memorized it, so I'll be here when I wake up. Other...... I don't know. Huh......" Hong suddenly turned to look at the black shadow that kept beating around her, "Do you know something?" ”
