Chapter 174: The Reason Why the Vampire Shows Up
It has to be said that it is a tragedy that Joseph Giovanni (Giovanni) became a vampire himself despite his name jojo, but then again, the surname Giovanni itself is a vampire's surname, so he can't be a jojo without becoming a vampire......
Fortunately, there is no ripple qigong in this world, and there is no group of Joestar with star-shaped birthmarks coming to him to ask for naming fees or something.
Ahem, back to the point.
As a member of the Giovanni family, Joseph is undoubtedly a tragedy, and this tragedy does not come from his background or ability, but because he was sent by the family to the flower planting family.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that he's been excluded or something, it's just that he's lucky and the draw is just a lot.
Yes, at the Giovanni house, a mission like this that you want to go or don't want to go to can be decided by lottery.
As one of the Thirteen Clans of Vampires, Giovanni does not have strong natural communication powers like Gangaro, nor does he have the strong psychic abilities of McCarvey, nor does he have strong stealth abilities like Asammet's group of assassins.
Instead, Giovanni had a strong business flair.
Yes, business talent, which perhaps shouldn't be a vampire's talent, but it's true - the vampires of the Giovanni family have almost nothing but exceptional business ability.
However, with this sensitivity to business, the vampires of the Jovanni clan were able to hide in the human world, they became entrepreneurs to plunder a lot of wealth in the human world, and established their own family station in the capital paradise of the rice grain family, a large number of blood sources supplied by private hospitals so that they would not be short of food, and some smart guys even opened private primary and secondary schools, and regularly organized students to donate blood, so as to obtain a large amount of high-quality virgin blood.
Even the legendary vampire disease, porphyria (a real-life condition characterized by light allergies, ulcerated gums, bleeding, and mental abnormalities, which is considered one of the sources of vampire lore in modern times) is a condition created by the Giovanni family to cover themselves.
Joseph, as a wealthy man with a private hospital and three private middle schools under his name, is naturally one of them, and when he thinks about the mellow and sweet virgin blood, Joseph will feel that he is full of strength.
But all this was ruined by this trip to the flower planter, and he, a guy who couldn't do anything but do business, and couldn't even see the light, could only hide in this dark alley, and use his innate mental power to hypnotize a few unlucky ghosts who urgently urinated and burrowed into the alley to satisfy his hunger.
Tasting the blood in his mouth that smelled of wine and the pungent smell of tobacco, he suddenly felt a desire to gag.
But he drank it anyway, and it would be nice to find this emergency ration in the Flower Planter, a place known as a vampire graveyard.
The smell of the man's sweat made Joseph want to end the meal immediately, but he knew that it was not feasible, and if the rapid poison was extracted too quickly, then the human could easily break free from his illusion, after all, he was only Giovanni, and he did not have the powerful psychic ability of McCarvey.
According to the family's statistics, 60 out of 100 vampires who come to the flower planting house will be declared dead in the first month, and of the remaining 40, 39 will disappear in the next three months, and only one will be lucky enough to return to their hometown.
But that didn't stop the Thirteen Clans from taking action this time.
The reason why the already thin bloodline of the blood clan can be made to pay such a big price and determination is only because the treasures of Binhai City are likely to determine the future of the entire blood clan.
As a legendary large-scale anomaly, the changes in the water source of Marina City are known almost to the world.
But this did not initially arouse the interest of the Bloodlines.
But by chance, the elders of the family got a sample of the water source of Binhai City, and were surprised to find that this liquid contained the power to restore the "original blood"!
The so-called original blood, is the origin of the blood clan to the initial embrace, but also the root of the blood clan's power, theoretically speaking, even the blood clan that has grown to the peak of mythology can only get thirteen drops of original blood (the new blood clan is equivalent to the transcendent level, only one drop, and each advance increases by three drops), and every drop of original blood is lost, the combat effectiveness of the blood clan will drop a notch, although the level will not change, but the combat power will fall to the bottom.
Take the legendary-level bloodline as an example, if his original blood is full, he will have epic peak combat power, but if he loses all the original blood, although he still maintains the legendary rank, even a slightly stronger epic level can fight him.
Therefore, the original blood has become a fundamental factor restricting the development and expansion of the blood clan.
It's a pity that the special ingredients in the water sample in Binhai City are too thin, even if you drink it with an open stomach, it will take a year to drink it every day until you die, and it will take a year to transform a drop of original blood.
This is not something unacceptable to the endless blood clan of Shouyuan, but no one knows how long the mutation in Binhai City will last. The bigwigs of the Blood Clan are not satisfied with this gift like winning the lottery, but want to permanently turn it into the foundation for improving the heritage of the Blood Clan.
Therefore, the bigwigs in the family who have reached the peak of the epic are basically soaked in the coastline and drinking seawater day after day in an attempt to increase the original blood, and rookies like themselves who are only hero-level are sent to Binhai City to investigate the news.
However, Joseph knows very well that a rookie like himself is really unable to make a splash in the water in a city full of superpowers, and trying to let them find the source is really more unreliable than winning the lottery.
Their real role is to lurk in the city, delaying the others from finding the root, and at the same time being able to notify the family as soon as the root is found.
"This is probably the so-called cannon fodder, right?" Joseph Giovanni secretly laughed at himself, but he didn't have any intention of turning over-
Although the clans are different, they are all blood clans after all, and the vampires of Marina City naturally have their own way of contacting, and it is precisely because of this that Joseph understands the danger of the city.
In less than a month, nearly twenty compatriots have disappeared forever.
Even the epic McCarvey was sunburned to death, and yesterday there was an Asammet idiot who tried to sneak into the hospital, and in the end there was no news.
On the contrary, it is a guy like himself, who is honest, like a rat in the gutter waiting for leftovers to be poured into the sewer, and he is still alive and well.
Those who drown can swim, and this proverbial proverb is like a beacon that illuminates Joseph's confidence in survival.
"I'm going to leave Marina City alive! Eh...... It hurts...... I'm ...... He's dead? ”
Joseph fell, and Feng Xue slowly peeked out from behind him.
In his vest, there was also a wooden cross......
