Chapter 9: The Philosopher
"We are men by blood."
Su Aya chewed on the chapter title of [Vol.2].
This quote comes from FromSoftware Game Studios' Bloodborne Cursed character, Master William.
Looking at the scenery on both sides of the mountain road galloping by, Su Aya's [old driver] skills let the horses gallop on the official road wantonly, riding the horses all the way like the wind. And what she thinks about is more than just the four words "because of blood".
Except for simply quoting this sentence, Su Aya can't find anything related to other games, and the full sentence is as follows.
"We are all men because of blood."
"Blood prevails."
"By blood, not man."
The hunters of Yingju said that once the old hunters used the lost blood of the blood clan to have the ability to fight against the demons.
Times have changed, the sun and the moon have changed, and George Moritty brought deer-hunting revolvers produced by Remington and Colt in the United States, as well as gun martial arts, which completely changed the professional structure of hunters who relied on blood clans.
This is an earth-shattering innovation.
Almost all hunters worship George Moritty as a god, and where is the blood clan in this era in the social class?
"To be a man by blood."
Su Aya tugged at the reins, relying on the coordination of the game's character's extraordinary waist tendons to cling to the horse's back, so that it could run more steadily and faster.
Under the description of the title of the game, it is a metaphor for the evolutionary history of humans, and the genetic similarity of the gorillas, which are closely related to the suborder of apes, is as high as 98%.
If you ignore the magical elements that have been focused on depicting in this script, and throw away the theology of the worldview, what is described in the title is the branch of the two races of Australopithecus, one of which learned to use tools, competed for water, grabbed territory, was drenched in the blood of the same race, opened up the spiritual intelligence, and finally became a human because of "blood".
But when the magic element is installed.
Everything is different again.
After some time, the horses began to gasp slightly, and Su Aya saw sparse villages and barley fields.
I saw the dilapidated little castle in Cardiff, the capital of Wales, and saw the cloudy and rainy sky unique to Northern Ireland.
The sun is rare all year round, and if she is a vampire, she should be more than happy to wander out with an umbrella in this weather. Take a look at this cosy idyllic setting.
She thought of this and said it again.
Maybe this sentence "because of blood" is just for the blood clan mentor in the play.
It is precisely because the Bloodlines are willing to give the contract props of the Blood of Disgrace to the hunters that this demon-infested European continent can barely step into the industrial age. Gradually, there is the appearance of civilized civilization.
The strong evidence is the occupation of the oriole and the crow before.
They were the crow-beaked doctors of the Warbler, a profession born in the early days of the Black Death, and silver crow's beaks were used to filter out the Black Death plague germs. And this plague is also called "Lord of the Flies' Breath" in legend.
The legendary Seven Demon Kings of Hell, Beelzebub, the plague lord, blew a breath into the world, and the plague on the earth was plagued, taking a third of the lives of Europe.
Su Aya has this inference.
The Bloodline is more of a promoted human.
Unlike demons, they rely on humans to reproduce, just like the difference between an orangutan and a homo sapiens.
They are handed over to the disgraced blood of mankind as the lowliest clan, that is, hunters, and hoods that hunt demons for a living.
When the time comes, the Bloodline will immediately transform the Hunter, and after the initial embrace is completed, a new Bloodline may be born, and because of the rich combat experience in the hunter's life, each "new Blood" can be regarded as a treasure.
It may be that for hundreds of years and thousands of years, the blood clan has existed in human society with this "ambiguous" identity, conducting mutually beneficial transactions with ordinary people.
But George Moritty has upset that balance.
At least in terms of George Moritty's attitude towards the Bloodline, it is a serious imbalance, showing no mercy to the grandson of his old friend, and there is no burden on his face when he shoots him.
"Next, it could be a very difficult question to choose."
Suya saw the sparsely populated streets of Lady Cardiff, the eerie high-walled compound of Cardiff University, and the blood-red paint stained the library doors.
She saw George's carriage.
She is only a nobody in the game.
Maybe the average player is still at ease as a good student with a career mentor. I don't have time to dig deep into the story behind the background.
But this script piqued her interest.
Because of the game itself, the director of the play seems to be very, very responsible for the "integrity" of the plot!
Every item has a story to tell.
Every skill will have its origin.
Each experience affects the outcome of the game itself.
She walked over to the door, trying to gently push open the library door.
At that moment, she put on a hunter's coat and changed into a hunter's boots. Although the tuxedo and hunter's suit wrapped her tightly.
Even though it's still the height of summer.
But the murderous intent that came out of the door inexplicably made her feel the cold to the bone.
There was a conversation between two people inside the door.
Su Aya listened carefully, one of them was George.
"We are different. It's like orangutans can't be friends with people, William, you get that."
And the other man, the one George called William. In Su Aya's ears, the voice was loud and full of energy.
"Are you saying that the nobility of my blood clan is far from your despicable human status? Kids."
Su Aya thought that in the long life of the blood clan, maybe Moritty could really only be regarded as a child.
"I mean." George's tone was very playful, and his tone revealed sarcasm and mockery from time to time: "You monkey who can only spread wild seeds, a monster that reproduces in the same way as an animal, will never see the light of day." ”
"Ha......" William gasped, undenied but unwilling.
To Su Aya's ears, he seemed to maintain the last demeanor of the blood clan, based on the long history of mankind, the blood clan is an extraordinary and excellent creature, and will play an important role on the stage of human society, if it is Europe, it can also be regarded as an aristocratic class.
They are good warriors and kings of the night.
You may be able to say that a Bloodline is weak and incompetent, but you can't say that he is a reckless man who does not know how to be polite.
As a visitor to another world, she and George are not close friends, but there is one thing that she cares about very much, and it is also where Su Aya admires this person.
From George's mouth, Su Aya learned.
He has two teachers.
As it happens, they are all called George.
One is a spiritual wake-up call. George Downing.
This teacher is a good teacher for Moritty, a sharp-toothed businessman, the culprit of the fall of the English Republic, and the kind of person Moritty hates the most.
And the other one, is George Andrew.
It was Su Aya who learned about the western cowboy who developed the gun martial arts. It is also Moritty's spiritual pillar, although it is not obvious, Moritty's eyes are shining when he talks about this teacher when he is in the carriage.
Mr. Moritty is a man with gold in his chest. Although the cooking skills are very poor, the lamb chops are as unpalatable as stones, and I don't know how to be hospitable, but ......
Mr. Moritty treats Su Aya very well, either because of his special status as a player or as an ordinary person.
He was willing to teach the art of hunting to anyone with a talent for hunting.
He dared to hand over the gun to this "witch" who had met for no more than eight hours and knew how to resurrect the walking corpse, his eyes were like torches, and his heart was as strong as his body.
He said that no one in the world should have two bones missing from his knees at birth.
It was also this sentence that touched Su Aya's heart.
The door opens.
Su Aya saw the bookshelves staggering. And the sides of the hall.
On one side, Moritty drooped his eyelids, listless, but with a miserable smile on his face, leaning against the wall, with multiple penetrating wounds on his body, bleeding like an infusion, and becoming a pool of blood under his body.
On the other hand, there is what George called "William."
It may also be Su Aya's blood mentor, who is in the same position as George, who has lost half of his body, as if he has been shattered by the Winchester shotgun, and is slowly healing itself.
"You!?"
George's eyes widened, he didn't expect Su Aya to come to Cardiff at this point in time.
And William is with a strong sense of purpose, bewitching Su Aya.
"Human!"
The Bloodline saw the "ape" in Su Aya's hand, the gun that George handed over to Su Aya.
"Kill the bastard! I will give you eternal life! ”
There was a glimmer of light outside the door, and the hunter's blood smelled young, not like the stubborn old bone in front of him. ---- William thought about it, and naturally thought that this girl was very talkative.
"What rank are you?" Su Aya didn't think much about it, and asked the vampire. "Gonghou Bozinan, which rank?"
She slowly leaned towards William, raising her gun to William's torso.
William hurriedly explained: "I am Uncle Fang of the Norman Thistle Order of Wales, Northern Ireland!" It was a nobleman who was honored by the emperor himself! He is also one of the best people in the blood clan! ”
"Oh, Count." Su Aya's tone was unusually calm, and she showed a delightful smile. That's easy to do. Am I going to be the kind of handsome bloodline who will shine at night and add the stunt DuangDuangDuang? ”
William's tone was excited: "Yes, yes, yes!" As long as you kill this bastard! I'll hold your first hug ceremony right away."
Su Aya: "Will you become rich?" ”
William: "Yes! Rich and rivaled! ”
Su Aya: "Can you do basically anything except bask in the sun?" ”
William: "That's right! Get away with murder! ”
George's face was like ashes, as if he had witnessed Su Aya's fall.
"Well said." Su Aya raised her gun and aimed it at William's head.
William Yi was enthusiastic: "Yes! Right! Right! I can convert you into a viscount! As long as you kill that ......"
Bang----
The other half of William's body shattered.
Bang----
Bang----
Bang----
Bang----
Bang------------
Su Aya pulled the trigger and showed no mercy.
Smashed the limbs of the blood clan, along with his jaw and teeth, so that he could no longer bite anyone.
At last.
She took out George's silver cross and stabbed the vampire count in the heart.
"I thought ......"
George's face was stunned, coughing up blood. asked Su Aya to help her up.
"Why?" Su Aya's expression was subtle.
George put it another way: "Thought you didn't like sunbathing......"
"If he were a princely duke, I might have defected, after all, this kind of 'cultural relic' level blood clan with relatively high years is generally very rich."
George was embarrassed, took out a bandage from the package to stop the bleeding, and wrapped it around his waist and abdomen. With Su Aya's support, he limped out of the door and boarded the carriage.
"What did William say? Talk to me, may? Su Aya wanted to know the story between them.
He said......"
George recalls the confrontation.
"Human beings have been blessed by the blood clan to evolve from the ancient ape to human, the blood is the only Holy Spirit, the blood of the Holy Son flowing in the Holy Grail in the Bible, mortals can become immortal after drinking, this is the best evidence."
"God created man in His own image, and the Bloodline turned apes into man in His own likeness."
He also said......"
"You pathetic creatures who drink the blood of the Clan are nothing more than the next step in the Bloodline's quest to overcome the sunshine and seek evolution! Now he wants to rebel against the master, which is disrespectful! ”
Su Aya helped George into the carriage and sat in the coachman's seat herself.
"What do you think? George? You think he ...... right?"
George: "I shot off half of his face, followed by half of his body, but unfortunately he was as tough as the fallacy in his mouth, and soon he recovered, and I continued to pull the trigger until we were dying, until we could only attack each other with our mouths, until you appeared."
Su Aya smiled and said, "Well done, Moritty."
