Chapter 377: The Book of Covenants
After eating some milk bread prepared by Xiao Ruoli, Roy immediately set off for Rothschild Manor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the blink of an eye, he was over the manor he had seen the day before.
Suspended in the air, Roy's mind spread, and in the distance, every grass and tree could be seen clearly, except for the manor below, as if shrouded in a layer of mist, unable to perceive the situation inside.
Roy landed in the manor, and suddenly a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was Gilles, the chief butler of Rothschild Manor.
Gilles nodded respectfully and said to Roy: "Mr. Luo, my master has been waiting for a long time, please come inside." ”
"Good!" Roy nodded and walked inside.
This time he went to a different place than last time, this time Roy was taken directly to a secret room on the second floor.
The whole castle, as dark and silent as the last time. The dim light shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere.
"The master is inside, please!"
Roy frowned, pushed open the not-so-tall wooden door, and walked inside.
It was pitch black inside, and after entering, the wooden door closed automatically, and before Roy could react, he saw a rapidly jumping night blink and rushed over.
A wizened palm, covered with long, razor-sharp nails, slammed into Roy's head.
As an S-class superbody, although his perception and thoughts are blocked, Roy's physical body is still strong.
He dodged in an instant, kicking the shadow at a faster pace.
The black shadow only took a small step back, and rushed up in an instant, but in Roy's eyes, his speed was not fast, and his strength was only about half of his, after dodging, Roy pinched the hand stretched out by the black shadow, and snorted softly: "Mr. Gourd A. Bauer, it seems that I guessed correctly, you are really not an ordinary person." ”
"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously, your strength is far beyond my imagination." Being pinched by Roy's wrist, Goulard's hideous expression recovered, and he smiled lightly.
Roy let go of his hand, but did not let his guard down, and frowned: "I'm curious, with Mr. Gouard's strength, who can hurt you?" I must make it clear, although I promised to protect you, I can't stay here forever. Unless you're willing to follow me all the time. ”
"No, no, no, Luo, I think you have misunderstood, it is my granddaughter Catherine who you want to protect. Let's go! This is not the place to talk. With that, Gourd reached under the table, pressed a button installed on the back of the table, and opened a one-meter-long square opening on the floor in the middle of the chamber.
Through the opening, Roy could clearly see that the light below was much brighter, and it looked very spacious, as if it were a living room.
Gouard jumped first and jumped from a height of tens of meters, and seeing this, Roy also fell from the mouth.
The basement living room below is spacious, the size of a football field, full of retro medieval style, with sofas, fireplaces, all kinds of delicate teacups, and many beautiful paintings on the walls, but these are portraits, and there is a single person, dressed and looked different, seemingly spanning centuries.
"That's my ancestors, most of them are dead, some are still alive."
Some are still alive? Goulard's words made Roy a little confused.
After the two sat down, Gouard picked up a bottle of wine on the table, opened it and poured it for Roy.
When Roy raised his glass and was about to drink, Goulad smiled: "This is an 1882 wine, and I personally went to the winery to make this wine and taste it." ”
"Poof!" Roy squirted out the wine he had drunk into his mouth in one gulp.
In 1862, 189 years have passed, that is, this old guy lived to be at least 200 years old.
Gurard looked at Roy with a smile, and suddenly shouted into the empty hall: "Catherine, Catherine, don't hide, come out!" ”
Roy was curious, and suddenly on the hanging beam above, an extremely beautiful woman jumped down.
Since ancient times, beauties have been either gentle and beautiful, or delicate and charming, but the woman in front of them is beautiful, with three points of heroism, three points of pride, and at the same time graceful and luxurious, with a dignified and strict look, which makes people awe-inspiring and dare not force their eyes.
The woman was wearing a pair of black leather pants on her lower body, which set off two slender legs, and a pair of high-heeled short-top boots under her feet, which made a loud knocking sound when they fell to the ground. And her upper body, wearing a black tunic tights, the straps on it are tightly tied together, and the slender waist is tightened as if it can be held with one hand, the pair of snow-white and round peerless snow peaks, revealing a large piece to the outside, as well as the sexy collarbone, there is no problem at all to put an egg on it.
This devilish figure, with a palm-sized angel face, with the big wavy golden curls, and the pair of clear and bright sapphire eyes, give people a stunning beauty that transcends nature.
A shadow flashed in Roy's mind, and he suddenly realized that the woman he had seen on the top of the tower when he left last time seemed to be the one in front of him.
"This is my granddaughter, Catherine." Goulad introduced with a smile.
From the leap just now, it can be seen that the woman in front of her is also not simple, but what secrets is hidden in the Gurad family?
"You're the one who can fly?" The woman was expressionless and looked at Roy lightly.
"If there's no second one who can fly, then you're talking about me." Roy smiled, turned to Gulard and said, "Goulad, you've been playing dumb riddles with me, can you explain it now?" ”
"Don't worry, before I do it again, I want to ask Mr. Luo, do you know the story of vampires and werewolves?"
"As I have seen in TV series and movies, the vampire is said to be Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, who was punished by God Jehovah for killing his brother and became an immortal bloodthirsty monster, that is, the first generation of vampires. There is also a theory that in ancient Europe, when a plague broke out, people died, and a military leader named Alexander Covinus also contracted the disease, but he was the only one who survived. There were 3 children in Alexander, unfortunately two of them - Marcus and William, one was bitten by a bat and the other was bitten by a wolf, and only one was an ordinary person. Two brothers mutated due to the virus, one became the ancestor of vampires and the other became the ancestor of werewolves. Since then, werewolves and vampires have spread across Europe. Wait, are you ......?"
"Yes, we're vampires, but you're not right, you're just talking about movies and bards." Gourd shook his head and said: "Cain is indeed the earliest vampire who appeared in the Western world in historical records, but he is not the son of Adam and Eve, he is just a rookie who has just been transformed, has not protected himself, and exposed himself." In fact, he was already dead, executed by the House of Elders. ”
"There really are vampires in this world, although I guessed that you are not ordinary humans, but I did not expect you to be vampires." Roy exclaimed in surprise.
Catherine on the side pouted: "There are many things you don't know, in my eyes, you are no different from those ordinary humans, stupid and humble." ”
Roy smiled bitterly, it seemed that the object of his protection did not have a good impression of him.
"Catherine, don't be rude." Gulad snorted coldly and said, "There are vampires, werewolves, witches, undead beasts, krakens, and many unknown things in this world. ”
"So, you want me to protect Catherine, and it has something to do with the unknown?"
Gulad nodded and said, "This matter has to start with my daughter." My daughter Celine used to be an elite killer of the Vampire Legion, a Deathwalker, which was her specialty, but she was betrayed. Victor, our former leader, chairman of the Council, the most powerful vampire...... We believed that He was our Savior, but it was not, and overnight, our allies turned enemies, and Victor betrayed us for the sake of the Book of Covenants, and he stole the sacred relics we had guarded for generations in order to satisfy his own ambitions. ”
"Wait, what is the Book of Covenants?"
"The Book of the Covenant is said to be a powerful legal code cultivated by the first blood clans, and if you understand it, you can gain eternal life and god-like power." Catherine pursed her lips proudly, and put her hands in front of the pair of dangling peerless breasts.
Gulad nodded and said, "This vampire leader we once wanted to protect, but in turn wants to get rid of us. Later, Celine meets Michael, who is Catherine's father. Michael is not just a vampire or a werewolf, he is a hybrid of a vampire and a werewolf, and in retaliation, they defeat Victor, who flees with the rebels. But in the end everything changed, Michael died at the hands of Victor, Celine was captured by the werewolves, I didn't know she was pregnant with Michael's child at the time, and then I managed to rescue Catherine, who was still an infant, my granddaughter, the first purebred half-breed, whose blood contained the power to end this war...... But Celine is controlled by the wolf clan, and my only choice is to protect Catherine. Catherine is too weak to know how to wield the power in her veins, and needs someone to protect her. ”
"With your strength, are you still afraid of those wolf clans? Why don't you go and get your daughter out? Roy asked, confused.
"It's not that simple, the wolf clan found the ancient kraken that was sealed in the Mayan ruins thousands of years ago, the kraken has a strong mental control ability, can control any creature with the help of mental power, she can also directly enter other people's minds, spy on other people's minds, at the same time, she is an undead creature, can be reborn with a broken arm. The Kraken gradually recovered with the help of the wolf clan, although her strength is still weak, less than a tenth of her peak, but still very strong, she controls the mind of my daughter Celine, and manipulates her to do things for the wolf clan. I've had a few sneaky encounters with Celine, but she doesn't know anyone, not even me and Catherine. ”
"Kraken?" Roy gasped, the world had begun to subvert his imagination.
"That's right, Siren, an immortal figure who uses her infinite power to influence and manipulate others and manipulate them into twisted games for entertainment, and he also likes to seduce people through his songs, but eat them."
"That'...... And what about Victor? Roy asked.
"Victor leads a vampire rebel army and re-establishes a tribe that wants to destroy all the vampires who disobey him, even the Vampire House of Elders and the Council. He received the Book of the Covenant, and his strength grew by leaps and bounds, to the point of unimaginability. And Catherine, a month ago, secretly went to Victor to take revenge from me, fortunately I found out in time and rescued her, but Victor has already discovered Catherine's traces, and I believe it won't be long before she finds out here. ”
Speaking of this, Catherine showed a look of self-reproach.
"But you can ask your people for help?" Roy asked.
"They live like rats and cockroaches in the dark castle, and yet they still covet Catherine's blood, and I have lost faith in the rotten and depraved vampires. The Vampire Council and the House of Elders, there are many internal contradictions, and the current Vampire Council is a female vampire named Simila, who has always been eager to get Catherine's blood, and she wants to suck Catherine dry and fully inherit Catherine's potential. ”
"It's all ambition." Roy shook his head: "By the way, you haven't explained the origin of vampires and werewolves, as well as krakens, undead beasts, and witches, what are all going on?" ”
In fact, all mythological figures and powers actually came from ancient Egypt, and those mythological figures were not gods, but men or beasts who had gained great power. Rumors about the undead are said to be the spokesmen of witches, who can transform into human form, walk the world, and do things for witches.
These things can be traced back to the Amrat period before the birth of ancient Egyptian civilization, or even tens of thousands of years ago.
Many experts and scholars believe that the origin of human beings came from Africa, but this is true.
Before the establishment of the first dynasty of Egypt, Menes, those Egyptian tribes already had shamans, and with the help of shamans, the people of the tribe had powerful and mysterious powers, and it is rumored that the Nile River gave them this power, and then it seems that some divine object was dug out of the Nile and sacrificed to the Pharaoh, and then the Nile lost its divine power.
There is no record in these historical sources, but they have been recorded by us undead.
After the Nile River lost its divine power, there were fewer and fewer people in the surrounding tribes who possessed divine power, and only a few remaining bloodlines and pharaonic wizards had great power.
Legend has it that every pharaoh buried under the pyramid could live forever in his soul as long as his body did not decay, and our ancestors organized a large-scale operation in which he mobilized nearly a thousand people to Egypt.
But in the end, there were only five people left, and no one knew what they had gone through or what they had discovered, except to hear my grandfather's warning never to go to Egypt and never to pursue their origins, which is the ancestral motto of every vampire family. ”
