102. I'm still alive
Kane, who was forcibly fed plasma by Sean, did not stay long and soon chose to leave.
Probably because I wasn't very satisfied with my conversation with Sean today.
Sean had no idea of taking care of Kane's mood.
He has the True Eye, even if his strength is damaged due to serious physical injuries now, the True Eye is still in a state where it can be used, so Sean can clearly see Kane's personal data.
Knights, who are considered official members of the blood clan, whether they join in the form of first embrace or appear in the way of birth, are destined to be able to obtain the clan surname and live under the protection of the clan, unlike the blood slave who is just cannon fodder without intelligence and reason.
The Blood Knight, on the other hand, is equivalent to the lower silver master of the surface world.
Kane, in terms of the strength of a low-ranking silver, is undoubtedly very good, even comparable to the standard of a Lord, which is why Sean is willing to teach him. Purely in terms of personal strength, Kane will not be much worse than the lords of those big clans, but why he has not been recognized for the title of lord, this is not clear to Sean, but this does not prevent Sean from continuing to cultivate this little vampire.
Of course, it was also an experiment.
The results of the experiment were clear: the growth limits of the Bloodlines were different from all races in the surface world, and they did not seem to be affected by any potential limits. As long as they have a strong enough body, their abilities can be developed almost infinitely - of course, if there is a flaw, it is probably that the bloodlines cannot sense the fluctuations of elemental power, which makes them unable to become a mage.
As for the charm. That's the Bloodline's innate ability.
Sean looked up at the sky of the underworld, a little dizzy from the bright light.
Unlike the real sun on the surface world. The sun of the underworld is made up of countless mosaic stones.
The people who built this artificial solar system had already considered the problem of energy in the underground world, so this artificial daylight has a self-charging maintenance system. Twelve hours a day need to be replenished by absorbing geothermal heat and the free elements of the underworld. So these twelve hours are the night of the underworld. Only the twelve hours after the charge is activated is the day in the Underworld.
It is for this reason that there is no distinction between dawn and dusk in the underworld, and there are only two phenomena here: day and night.
If you want to move in the dark of night, you either have the ability to see in the dark, or you have to have the ability to perceive beyond the limit, and no matter how bad it is, you have to be in a bright environment. Otherwise, it is the prey of the creatures of the night - more than 70% of the creatures in the underworld are creatures that are active in the night.
Sean also spent a whole month. I finally let my body adapt to the changes in the biological clock of the underground world.
Of course, this is also thankful, when he woke up, he did not fall in some wilderness, but in the back mountain of the Paka clan's territory. Of course, he was even more glad that it was Kane who saved him at that time. Paca is a vampire with a blood-type terminal illness, otherwise Sean's fate would not be much better.
Through chatting with Kane, Sean also has a general understanding of the Kappa clan and the region where he is located.
The Kappa clan, belonging to the Secret Party of the Blood Clan.
The philosophy of this party is to follow a policy of escapism, and on the premise of being self-sufficient, there will be no harassment or damage to the outside world. They had little interest in attacking the surface world, believing that the ancestors had naturally moved their clans to the underworld for their own intentions, and the blood clan should not break the rules of the ancestors. It is precisely because of this concept that they have almost formed a rival relationship with the Demon Party. Basically, if the people of the secret party and the demon party encounter it, they will definitely make a big move.
And the Kappa clan, which belongs to the faction of the Blood Clan's secret party, is not a very powerful clan.
In terms of clan origin. The Kappa clan is already a small clan after an unknown number of generations, and the entire clan has less than a thousand official bloodlines. As for the founder of the Kappa clan, he has long since died in which battle. Along with the fall, there were many members of the Kappa clan who were in the rank of duke and marquis at that time, and now the strongest person in the Kappa clan is a viscount. He had been in this rank for almost a thousand years.
For the Bloodline, although the lifespan is close to infinity, it is not truly infinite after all, and their infinity is only relative to other races. And basically, if a person has stayed in one rank for hundreds of years but has never been able to break through to the next rank, then he will have reached the end of his strength in this life - this Viscount of the Kappa clan is in such a state at the moment, and with the gradual aging of his physical condition, his body is also weakening day by day, I am afraid that in a hundred years at most, he will have a decline in rank and have to abdicate to make way for Xian.
With only a hundred years left for the strongest of the clan, the internal turmoil of the Blood Clan was almost predictable.
What's more, there are less than fifty people in the Kappa clan who are in the baronial rank below the viscount, and many of them still have no hope of breaking through to become a viscount and degrading from the viscount rank. You must know that the blood baron corresponds to the lower gold of the surface world, and the entire Kappa clan only has less than fifty lower gold and one upper gold powerhouse, so it is easy to imagine how weak such a clan is.
But because of this, the intra-clan competition meeting held every ten years is the top priority of the entire clan.
Like Kane, who has been at the bottom for two hundred years, suddenly came to a shocking reversal and entered the top 20 in one fell swoop, and this dazzling degree can't be stopped at all. For the barons of the Kappa clan and the so-called clan geniuses who aspire to become viscounts or even higher, Kane's sudden counterattack is simply telling everyone: "I have a secret, come and kill me!" β
If it weren't for the fact that Kane still had some potential, and Sean wasn't very disgusted with this naΓ―ve guy who saved his life, he wouldn't bother to care about this guy's life or death.
Kane was not seen again for the next two days.
This result. Sean sighed helplessly.
"Dad, why are we going to save that guy?" The Black King was puzzled by Sean's intention to go to the Kappa Clan's mansion.
"Because I'm hungry." Sean replied.
In the nearly month that Sean has been hiding in this back mountain. Kane is responsible for delivering food every day. With Kane's status, he couldn't get much food. Basically, it's three fried cutlets a day, which is a drop in the bucket for Sean, who has accumulated nutritional supplements. It is precisely because of this that Sean recuperated for a month before he finally regained his mobility, if it was him a month ago, any blood slave could gnaw him alive.
"Liar." The Black King clearly didn't believe Sean's explanation.
"I need an identity." Sean spoke, reaching out and touching his face.
He uses the Magic Seal. Silver scales covered his face, making him look a little different. But this is not a long-term solution. Once the inhabitants of the underworld find out that he is a surface person, then his fate will definitely be attacked by a group, which is not what Sean wants, so he needs an identity, or an underworld person who can prove that he is an underworld resident.
Kane, on the other hand, is undoubtedly a good choice.
Of course, in fact, Sean has no better choice.
Descending the road back mountain, this was the first time Sean had seen the clan of the Blood Clan.
Back then, in the game, most of Sean's information about the blood clan came from official information stations and forums. In fact, there are only a few underground races that he has really come into contact with - the world view of "Miracle" is so huge and so many races that it is far more than anyone else's, even the most elite adventurer players cannot explore the entire world of wonders. What's more, it's a signed professional player like Sean who was bound to the guild back then.
Sean has always regarded the Blood Clan as a country similar to the surface world.
But it wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he realized that it wasn't like that at all.
Behind a dense forest that obscured the sky. In front of Sean is a spectacular castle built against the mountain, and the architectural model alone looks like a black swan castle. However, in terms of floor area, it is equivalent to ten black swan castles - this castle alone has almost completely occupied the entire mountain peak about 500 meters high. The so-called back mountain is actually just a jungle at the top of the mountain.
At the foot of the castle in the middle of the hill is an equally vast estate: an area with the mountain peak at its core, within a radius of about three kilometers.
As far as the eye can see, there is a manicured garden-like lawn, with only a thoroughfare, which can accommodate about thirty people in parallel, and the cobblestone road is flanked by various stone carvings. The lawns on the left and right sides of the avenue are divided by dozens of pavilions of different sizes and styles, and a little farther away is surrounded by a stone wall, indicating that the area within three kilometers is private land.
There is no gold glittering decoration, and there are no gems or other embellishments, but the manor in front of him still gives Sean a luxurious feeling.
And this is just the territory of a small clan that is completely broken.
Sean couldn't imagine what kind of shocking scenery it would be if it was the territory of the Thirteen Clans.
"Daddy, I think this ...... Much more magnificent than our family. The Black King's voice pulled Sean back to reality from the shock.
"I think so too." Sean felt that he had been a duke for so many years, "Okay, let's go find out where the poor little guy is." I hope this little guy doesn't die, otherwise it will be very bad for my plans. β
"Huh? Daddy, can you find someone else? The Black King was a little puzzled.
"Of course you can, and it's not as troublesome as you think." Sean pursed his lips, and then stepped into the castle of the Kappa clan.
Contrary to the hustle and bustle of the imagination, this huge castle is exceptionally deserted.
Sean entered the corridor of the castle through a door on the back hill downhill, and then walked in a random direction for more than ten minutes, but still did not see anyone. However, judging from Sean's observations, the castle is well maintained. And both the floor and other walls are wiped very clean, and it is clear that a large number of people are working every day. to keep the whole castle clean and tidy.
But according to the situation, Sean should be able to see the servants of the castle. But he didn't see a single living thing.
Sean had heard Kane talk about the fact that in the Bloodline's racial view, the Blood Slaves were livestock, and they served as cannon fodder, bait, slaves, and many other purposes, and were just a convenient tool throughout the Bloodline. Only the Bloodline above the knight rank can be considered a true member of the Bloodline, and can have the right to live in the clan family, of course, they also have their own obligations while enjoying these powers.
Looking at the desertion and silence in the castle, Sean could basically guess what was going on.
It's nothing more than that the Blood Slaves are not qualified to appear in this ancient castle - the Blood Clan has learned the lesson of the Holy War with the Werewolves back then, and does not give these slaves any thoughts and wisdom, only when they are resting. These servants will come out and clean the whole castle. This is the reason why the castle can be kept so clean and tidy, and why such a large castle can be so deserted.
From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that the Kappa clan may have been a fairly powerful clan a long, long time ago.
But now?
Sean walked leisurely all the way to the bottom of the castle.
"Dad, are you sure you can find that little guy here?" The Black King asked Sean with a very skeptical attitude.
"Absolutely." Sean nodded, his face full of confidence, "If Kane's little imp is really caught, then he will definitely be brought to this kind of secret room-like place." β¦β¦ This castle will definitely have a secret room. But there are certainly not many people who know, so the best solution is to be locked up in this kind of basement space, and we just need to look for more in this kind of place. β
"Okay, okay, you're up to you anyway." The Black King said weakly. Anyway, he couldn't move freely, so he could only follow Sean.
The castle is so large that it almost hollows out the entire mountain. So the search for Kane was not easy. Halfway through, the Black King turned on the taunt mode several times, but Sean really hasn't found Kane yet. Therefore, I can only shut up and endure this chattering long sword.
But just as Sean began to wonder if he had miscalculated the IQ of these Bloods, he finally heard a whistling whip in the air.
"Aha. I knew I was right. Sean whistled.
"Maybe it's someone else." Not to be outdone, the Black King retorted.
"We'll see." Sean let out a satisfied snort, then walked briskly towards the source.
After a short walk, Sean finally came to the outside of a room that resembled a secret room - it was not accurate to say that it was a secret room, and it looked like a place similar to an interrogation room. However, because there are countless blood slaves cleaning the entire castle every day, it is impossible to see whether it is abandoned or not, but Sean feels that he has been walking in this basement for so long before he finds it, and he subjectively believes that this is a secret room that has been abandoned for a long time.
Without knocking, Sean kicked the door open.
As he expected, there were three people in the interrogation room.
A man sat on a chair in the corner with a proud expression, holding a goblet with a red liquid, and drank it quite intoxicatingly.
The other was a middle-aged man who was nearly two meters tall and extremely strong, and he was putting a hard short whip stained with flesh and blood on the table to the side. There were a number of other strange tools on the table, which looked like they should be matching interrogation tools, and the burly man was clearly struggling with what to use.
As for the third person in the room, it was Sean's target on his trip: Kane.
He was **** tied to a cross stake, basically his skin was broken, and there was no good meat on his body. But even so, the blood that flowed from Kane's body was still fresh, there were no scabs or wounds healing, and even consciousness was awake.
For Sean's sudden kicking on the door, the strong man in the interrogation room and the young man sitting on the side exuding a sense of superiority all the time felt stunned and surprised. Only Kane showed a very complicated look on his face, including shame, hatred, helplessness, grievance and unwillingness.
"Looks like you're still alive." Sean looked at Kane, who had almost become a bloody man, and let out a burst of surprise, "It's good that you're not dead." β
"Who are you?" The young Bloodclan who was sitting in the corner exuding a sense of superiority frowned dissatisfiedly, "How come I've never seen you. β
"You're going to see me, that's really weird." Sean pursed his lips, "Okay, I'll take this person away." β
"Hmph." The Bloodline member was stunned for a moment, then looked Sean up and down, "You're from Sardins?" It seems that the lesson I gave him before was obviously not deep enough, and he dared to ask for someone. Rubeus, kill him. β
The brawny man casually picked up an interrogation tool, a cruel smile on his face, and then walked towards Sean.
"Oh? A baron? Sean glanced at the strong man named Ruber, a little surprised, "It seems that your potential is not low, and there is a baron who is willing to be loyal to you." β
"Looks like you don't know anything." A young man with an extremely strong sense of superiority sneered, "It's a pity, I was willing to come out and be someone else's knife without even inquiring about the situation, I have never seen a more stupid person than you." For people like you, it's better to end your life early so as not to waste food. β¦β¦ I'll give you one last piece of advice, don't try to struggle, Ruuber is a sadist. β
"Well, that's actually what I want to say." Sean smiled and nodded approvingly, "I'm also a very sadistic person, so you must not struggle for a while, otherwise...... It's going to be painful. After that, Sean looked at the strong man who had come to him and said with a smile: "Your height has blocked my vision, so I can only ask you to be shorter." β
I saw a black light passing by.
Ruber, who was nearly two meters tall, didn't even realize what was happening when he felt that he was suddenly a lot shorter.
Then, in the horrified pupils of the young bloodband next to him who had a strong sense of superiority, he realized that his legs had been cut off. But in this process, he didn't even feel anything, and the emotions of despair and panic instantly hit his heart, and he wanted to scream, but he found that he couldn't speak at all, because his vocal cords didn't know when they were cut, which made him only make a blower-like whirring sound.
"I like a quieter environment, so I can only ask you to shut up a bit." Sean looked down at Ruber with a smile on his face, there was not the slightest trace of blood on the Black King's sword, but the more this happened, the more terrifying Sean looked, "But don't worry, I promise not to let you suffer too much, after all, you are very cooperative and have not struggled." (To be continued.) )
PS: In particular, the blood clan in this article is different from the regular blood clan, and it has been modified by me personally. So, please don't substitute the routine of the regular bloodline, thank you. Especially: why this Bloodline can't turn into a bat; Or: why are the Bloodlines able to have children; This kind of problem.
