Almost all of the vampire "secret parties" of Varess chose to give up their identity as undead creatures and made a pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Parniavijes, where they underwent a sanctification ceremony, and a new race of half-vampires was born, the Parnias.

The Parnians have made great sacrifices to transform into a living species, and now they are no longer immortal, aging, sick, and dying, but they have also received the most generous gift from Lady Vijees—to have children, to multiply their race, and to this day they have evolved into a powerful people of more than half a million people, mostly settled in the Parnia Peninsula.

"However, not all vampires can agree with the path chosen by the Parnias, especially the descendants of the 'Demon Party', the 'Black Blood People', who value personal interests more than the future of the race, and regard Parnias as hereticals, lest the path of the Parnia's sanctification inspire other vampires to join them, lest the followers of Naraku betray their faith and go on a pilgrimage to Parnia and take refuge in Lady Vejes, they are strictly guarded, they dream of destroying Parniaborg and killing all the half-vampires......"

Finally, Veronica concludes her story with a solemn demeanor, while also revealing a harsh reality to Roland: "This is the root of the millennial feud between the people of the black blood and our Parnias, and as long as the two peoples coexist, the vendetta will not end - until one of them is completely wiped out!" ”

……

Early in the morning, with the sound of horses' hooves, five knights appeared at the western entrance of Twilight Canyon and galloped east along the gravel canyon road.

The knight at the head was a pretty girl in a gray velvet cloak, with long dark hair tied into a high upturned ponytail, and seemed to ride close to the cliffs by the side of the road out of professional habits, and the men and horses seemed to melt into the shadows cast by the cliffs.

Riding side by side with the ponytail girl was a young knight in black armor, with a long and sturdy figure, sitting on horseback and riding a majestic spirit, galloping in the middle of the avenue, the morning glow illuminating the young knight's handsome face through the sky above the cliff, and his deep eyes were shining, as if he was concentrating on the beautiful scenery in the canyon.

As far as the eye can see, the sparse bushes are covered with sturdy shrubs, and these tenacious plants are rooted in the crevices of the rocks, and the green shade contrasts with the bare gray rocks, and the quiet and cold canyon scenery is warmed by these tenacious green plants.

The highest peak of the Parnia Peninsula, Tianzhu Mountain, towers into the sky, and the snow-capped peaks are dyed crimson and gold-trimmed by the morning sun, as if nature has opened her jewel box.

A group of knights descended from west to east along the canyon road, the terrain became lower and lower, the top of Tianzhu Mountain gradually disappeared from people's field of vision, and the cliffs of the sandwich road approached in front of them, causing a strong visual impact, making people feel that the cliffs on both sides were so close, as if they were almost close together, and the invisible sense of oppression made people can't help but retract the reins, reduce the speed of the horses, lest they hit the cliff that almost rushed in front of them.

At the narrowest point of the canyon, the road carved a straight passage that could only accommodate four horses walking side by side.

In this area where sunlight is scarce all year round, there is little greenery, and the cliffs and roads are overgrown with mushrooms and moss, and the knights have to slow down so that the horseshoe does not stumble on the slippery moss.

The young knight in black armor looked up at the sky, trying to use the vast sky to get rid of the visual pressure caused by the changes in the environment, but the cliff also showed a strong presence in the air, leaving only a slender blue sky between the two walls, which would increase the psychological pressure on the looker, so that the heart beat faster and it was difficult to breathe.

"It's no wonder that the longest rift on the Atlas continent is known as the 'Twilight Valley', and most of the canyon is so narrow and deep that it doesn't let in much sunlight even at midday, like twilight shrouded in twilight."

The young knight muttered to himself with emotion, which attracted the attention of the pony-tailed girl beside him, and turned his head and smiled at him: "Roland, the terrain here is indeed very unfriendly to first-time visitors, and after adapting to it, it won't feel so depressing, why don't we stop and drink some water first, rest for a while before going on the road?" ”

"No need, let's continue on our way," Roland looked at the dark canyon, the road winds and stretches, and there is no end in sight, you can imagine that the Parnians spent countless efforts to build this valley road, and invested astronomical amounts of materials, money, and engineering spells, "Ronnie, how far is this from Mulberry Bay?" ”

"It's almost four hundred miles away, I definitely can't get there today, it's almost noon now, let's rest here for a while, eat some dry food and continue on the road, we should be able to reach Cherry Valley before sunset in the afternoon, it is a farm, designed for the surrounding mines including Mulberry Bay to provide agricultural products, Cherry Valley has a hometown restaurant fruit wood roasted lamb chops taste good, cherry wine is a must, let's have dinner there, rest for the night, continue to rush tomorrow morning, and arrive at Mulberry Bay tomorrow afternoon at the latest." Veronica patiently introduced him to the itinerary.

Roland calculated silently, and couldn't help sighing: "From Parniabort to Mulberry Bay, the distance is about four hundred and fifty miles, and it takes two whole days to ride a horse along the canyon road, and if the railway is built, the journey will take eight or nine hours at most, and you can set off in the morning, and you can reach Mulberry Bay without waiting for dark." ”

"After the construction of the railway, it will indeed become much easier to travel, which is why we in Parnia cooperated with the government of the Far East on the Southern Railway Project, hoping that in three years this road with a history of more than 200 years will be replaced by new railroad tracks, and then there will be no need to travel long distances on horseback." Veronica said with a smile. Turning over and jumping off his horse, he turned back and beckoned to the three accompanying knights, "Yuric, Marcus, Tita, rest for half an hour, eat something and then hit the road." ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess!"

The three knights dismounted in unison, led by a middle-aged warrior monk in a plain cloth robe, in his early thirties, who was not seen among the Parnias with a stocky stature and a red rosacea, which made him look less like a monk who obeyed the rules and regulations.

"Yuric, you drink less, beware of getting drunk and making mistakes!"

The girl next to the drunkard warrior Yurick who spoke out was his sister Tita, who was also a royal attendant from the Vicion Monastery and practiced Parnia Ninjutsu, both the personal maid and the sister of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
