2. Patient Zero

Salot's chamber still has a classical aesthetic, with knightly armor, wall coats of arms, weapon racks, and a burning fireplace, in which Salotte himself complements each other without a sense of disobedience.

He had long black hair and a thick black beard, and he was still emaciated, and his eyes were soft, including his divine eyes.

With the exception of Cain and Abel, he is the strongest blood I know, perhaps stronger than the saints, but he is not oppressive.

He was the first saint, and some say he was the son of God of old.

Michael got down on one knee at Salotte and said, "Your Excellency." "Sousa and I did the same thing.

Salotte sighed, "There will always be casualties, Duke Longinus. ”

I said, "Thank you for your concern." ”

Salot said to Michael and Sosa, "Please leave for a while, I need to talk to Longinus alone." ”

The two obediently complied, and Salotte moved a short distance before I noticed that he was in a wheelchair. He motioned for me to sit down, and I sat down on the couch.

"During my possession of Remor, I heard of a mysterious man who wandered around the world, usually alone, and his name was Longinus, and legend has it that he was turned into a blood by the blood of the Son, but then reverted to being a man," said Salot. ”

I replied, "Remore's message is accurate. ”

Salot: "Saints.... Is it because of the blood of the Son? ”

"I've forgotten how he did it, my condition.... My lifespan is a little longer than that of a human being, but not much longer, and I have to start all over again, so it's not perfect. If you want to learn Blood Nirvana from me, I'm afraid you're going to disappoint. ”

Salotte smiled: "I haven't drunk a drop of blood for three years, I eat the same as normal people, I don't have other characteristics of the blood clan except for fear of the sun, and I retain my strength, I don't need to explore the blood nirvana anymore, I have succeeded." I just want to know your approach. ”

He pointed in front of me, and I poured myself a glass of wine, I never understood what wine was good about, but when I drank it, it looked very elegant, alas, this vanity was. That's a good thing.

I asked, "You can control the power of the Black Coffin." ”

"I'm very self-aware, because I've never been a good leader," Salotte said. The Salottes have all but perished under my leadership. It's better for a person to only do what they're good at, otherwise they'll just mess up. Would you let a landlubber go for a swim in the Pacific Ocean? No, Michael is doing a great job, he has the same philosophy as me. ”

I couldn't help but say, "His ideas are incompatible with the cruel world, if in the last century, people were still compassionate, but now in this era..."

Salotte frowned and said, "Human beings need to be pitied and taken care of, and this is our obligation as superiors. ”

I shook my head, not wanting to argue with him, because I owed Yao Chi a favor, so my opinion of these compassionate people changed a lot. I just have to make sure that their hard work lasts intact and is not ruined by the despicable.

If they don't want to get their hands dirty, then I'll do it, and I'll not go to hell, who will go to hell? I've always been willing to carry these dirty reputations, and that's what sets me apart from them.

Thinking of this, I threw the pair of trousers in my pocket into the fire in the fireplace, taking advantage of Salot's inattention.

Burn, filth, and I'll be clean.

Salotte sighed, "Your hobby is special. ”

I've forgotten that Salot's perception is almost watertight.

I wiped my sweat from my pocket again with something resembling a silk scarf, this time a chest wrap, which I burned with a speed no inferior to that of Master Hawke.

I waited for about a minute, until the awkwardness had almost subsided, before I said, "You saw our fight with Longley Helsing?" ”

"I did," says Salot, "but it was vague because my farsightedness could not penetrate Helsin's time barrier, so I had to fill in the picture with inspiration. ”

I asked, "What should I do?" ”

Salot: "You don't have to worry about Helsing, he kept his word, he cried safely, the only thing to worry about is Yegri." If I'm guessing correctly, you've lost the power of a saint. ”

How did he know? No, he should know that he was Salot, probably the first archmage in the history of mankind.

I said, "Do you have a way to deal with Yegri?" ”

"Yegri will not risk attacking the Black Coffin, because the Black Coffin also has an Aether Suppressor in it. ”

I hurriedly said, "We need to build one too!" ”

"The cry is not ready to build," Sallote said. He handed me a book with teleportation, and turned to the corresponding number of pages, which was a local chronicle of Silicon Valley (where the black coffin was located in the former Silicon Valley), which wrote: "Although there is no scientific basis for the Oriental people's so-called Feng Shui, there is no doubt that certain places have special energy sources." I proposed that there was divine energy in Silicon Valley that could be used to suppress the forces of hell, but was ridiculed by humans as insane...."

Apparently not blessed by the divine powers, I said, "Then, once Yegree attacks Cry, I ask you to come to my aid." ”

Salotte sighed, "As much as I owe you a favor, and though I would love to help you, I can't, and I don't want to risk losing with that madman of Yegri." You can call me cowardly and selfish, I have to take care of the big picture. ”

Indeed, he is the supreme leader of the Black Coffin, the one who guards the situation of the Black Coffin, even if he is ridiculously strong, he will never act rashly.

I was disappointed and upset, and with Yegri's irascible and cruel character, she would definitely take revenge on me and cry, and that was a sure thing.

Yegree is not as omniscient as Salot, she has been defeated at the hands of the Saints, so she has some scruples, however, she is a madman and can do anything.

How did she escape last time? As long as she can ensure that she is alive, she has nothing to fear.

I'm running out of time.

Salot: "But I do know where Yegli came from, and maybe it will inspire you." ”

What's the use of that? Even if I find out all the eighteen generations of Yegli's ancestors, will she let me go?

The eyes of the god of Salotte create a picture in the air like a movie projection, a portrait of a monk, which is very old.

Salotte said: "This is the previous generation of users who did not read, and the sword and shield would have no sorrowful curse. ”

"Is that him?"

Sallote said: "Remore knows or not, they were once mortal enemies, after all, one is a mage, the other is a blood clan, at that time, Remore was not delirious before I tortured it.... Until one day, Bunian needed Remor's help because of an important matter. ”

Remorse was also a mage before, but fell into the Bloodline in pursuit of immortality, and their clan became lichs by the rest of the Bloodline.

I asked, "What's the busy?" ”

Salote said, "He wants to obtain the Ancestral Flame." ”

I was stunned and said, "What's that?" ”

Salotte replied slowly, "You know Yegri's true identity. ”

"Yes, she's a.... It's a living corpse, that is, with the corpse of a dead man..."

Salot: "You're right, but it seems that you don't know much about living corpses and Hellfire. ”

I laughed dryly, "Indeed." ”

After all, I'm not like a blood clan like you who have lived for 10,000 years.

"Although there is no conclusive evidence, legend has it that all living corpses have a common ancestor, which we call 'Living Zero'," Salotte said. ”

I shouted, "Ah! Just like Cain and Lilith! ”

"Yes," said Salot, "all things have an origin, and I am afraid God is no exception. This Zero Corpse is the one who was originally resurrected by the Pyro, and you know, the Pyrofire can be used to create new corpses, which is an almost Creator ability, because it can create souls out of thin air.

Perhaps out of loneliness or instinct, he created some ancient living corpses, and these ancient living corpses went on to create the second generation, the third generation....

The living corpses are pathetic creatures, they are not like us bloods, because we can manipulate humans, and humans naturally hate them, and they are naturally close to humans, which has led to many human hunts of living corpses in history.

Humans don't know that they're hunting the living dead, but simply hate them, thinking they're homicidal or dangerous. Therefore, it is very rare for the world to be identified as a living corpse, and I suspect that there is only one living corpse hidden in a million people.

But now, the ratio will become unbalanced...."

I persuaded, "Please get to the point." ”

"Yes, yes, to the point. That was about 700 years ago. Bu Nian heard that Remo was engaged in the research of the Dark Fire, so he found Re Moor, hoping to resurrect a female corpse through the Dark Fire, and that female corpse was Ye Geli. ”

I shook my head and said, "It's really blind, not to mention that the Hellfire can easily get out of control and turn a corpse into a deformed monster, even if it really creates a living corpse, what can it do?" The living corpse was not the same person at all, it was completely new from soul to heart. ”

Salotte said: "This statement is to the point, but for Bu Nian, there is only one way, and there is no other way." He had searched for the Book of Life, for the Book of the Dead, and even for the blood of Cappadocia, but he had not been able to resurrect his most beloved daughter. ”

"Daughter? He's a monk! ”

Salotte said: "Humans are human beings after all, and they all have seven emotions and six desires, just like you would go to the Ranger Academy dormitory..."

I exasperated, "Okay, don't digress. ”

"There was a theory at the time that the Flame of the Zero's ancestor, had the magic of a true resurrection, and could make people remember everything that had happened before," Salote said. Even living corpses can quickly transform into real humans, and you know this is quite popular among living corpses. ”

I said, "Some of the living corpses I know seem to want to become humans, even if they lose their powers, and this seems to be a very serious psychological problem, because the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"All in all," said Salot, "Remorse promised to give him all the information about the living corpse and the Hellfire. There are very few living corpses in the world, and it is impossible to find them, especially in that era of slow traffic, it is very difficult to travel all over a country, let alone find the zero living corpse?

As soon as he got close, he captured a first-generation ancient living corpse, a direct descendant of Zero's living corpse, and forced the living corpse to inject the fire into his daughter's corpse. ”

I said, "That's how Yegli was born?" ”

"The matter is obvious, Duke."
