I walked out of the alien space of Henry's mansion, and I returned to the black coffin. If crying makes me feel heavy and urgent, the black coffin makes me feel relieved and relaxed.

Certainly not because of the bad names of these two.

"Welcome back," said Lacka. ”

I asked, "How is their business with masks?" ”

"You can't keep busy, your reputation makes the deal too good." ”

"Troubled times have their own troubles."

"I don't think extramarital affairs and inheritance disputes are caused by troubled times. ”

I laughed and said, "Who knows? The decay of the world is the embodiment of moral decay. Is Michael there? ”

"He just attended the opening ceremony of the university and is now at the banquet. ”

"Which college starts at night?"

"The consul said it was night, it was night."

Michael is very different from Missouri in that he has an affinity for the fact that he doesn't need to use the spells of the Bloodlines (they call it the power of admonition, which is quite unfathomable), and he will be trusted and respected by those around him.

Banquets are magical places, the kind of places that make anyone let their guard down, smooth out their edges, follow the locals, and indulge in fun. With the beautiful sound of beauty, looking at the dazzling fancy dress, the beautiful women and handsome men smile at you kindly, and whisper to you, which is enough to make people's souls weak and drowsy.

I walked into the ballroom, people spotted me, and I was caught in the welcome barrier, and they were not afraid of my reputation, but like a visitor to the zoo who saw a panda, or a reckless man who teased the bull at the Bull Run, he stood in my way, but fortunately Michael helped me out.

Michael took me to the study above and said, "Why don't you bring Lamia to the ball?" And your clothes are in so bad taste that the nobles look at them and frown. Also, you have to learn the etiquette of our aristocracy. ”

I said, "There are a hundred good things about the black coffin, but there is one thing that I can't keep up with, and that is the popular trend among the nobles." ”

Michael sighed, "You have to learn a little, the people of the Black Coffin not only love your legend, but also want you to always be a part of us." ”

I said: "Of course I am, and I can't get out of it, every day, I look at the income and expenditure slips brought by the economic adviser Vip, either we owe money to the black coffin, or the black coffin owes us money, like two entangled and knotted snakes, which cannot be separated for the rest of their lives." Sometimes, when I take the money from the black coffin, my hands are shaking. ”

Michael laughed, "That's a good thing, like I used to be a ghoul in Missouri, and when I heard that he was going to suck my blood, I was scared and happy at the same time." ”

I was frustrated because he compared me to a ghoul of the BloodClan, and it wasn't far from the truth.

I said, "I've actually brought you a gift." ”

Michael craned his head and asked what it was.

I said, "Promise me one thing, don't faint with joy, or people will think that I have come to assassinate me." ”

"Don't be out of your appetite, let me see!"

It was a fragment of Erguia, and Zhao Luo gave me the book, because she had learned the spells in it, and the body of the book was useless to her.

Michael's bulging eyes, even though he has big eyes, make people worry that his eyeballs will burst into their sockets.

After being dumbfounded for a full ten seconds, he shouted, "Elgia Fragment! Where the fuck did you get that? ”

I rebuked, "What about the manners of your nobles? ”

Michael picked up the handkerchief, wiped the sweat, called Jean Vallene, and shouted: "Hurry up, let the experts come, fishbones, you idiot is how you expose antiquities to the air?" ”

"Rest assured, it would have been destroyed long ago, and when we brought it out, we even crossed the entire lake."

Michael acts like a beach girl surrounded by hooligans, ready to scream at any moment.

If the Archon career did him any good, now, he could hold back his excitement, he didn't scream as if he was about to be pushed down by me, he just snorted in a mournful voice.

He said, "We must go to our ancestors at once?" ”

"The Dry Corpse Ancestor?"

"Who else?"

The Ancestor of the Dry Corpse is undoubtedly the oldest and most powerful of the Bloodline in the Black Coffin, and he is confident that he can kill anyone in the Black Coffin, and I feel an immeasurable sense of oppression in front of him, like facing Abel, or the messenger of Azlar.

I didn't even dare to guess who he was, because as soon as I thought of his name, I fell into his sight.

And I don't want to get his attention.

All this may not be his bluff, but he is like a red line in a black coffin, and no one dares to cross it.

We entered the quaint castle hall, where Michael waited for a while, and Legang arrived. He saw me, a smile on his cold face, and we shook hands and hugged each other.

Michael said, "I'm going to wake up the adults." ”

Le Gang didn't ask much, just nodded. This was an agreement between the two of them, and in order to summon the ancestors, both of them had to be present at the same time. It's cumbersome and risky, but both agree.

The transparent coffin rose from the ground, and the thin, dried corpse lay silently. That's when I noticed the book in his hand. The last time I saw him, I didn't have any impression of the book, but this time, I realized that his copy was also a fragment of Erguia, but a different part.

Zhao Luo believes that the author of this book is Cain.

Who is the person in front of you?

The Dry Corpse Ancestor said, "I feel the fragment in your hands, Longinus, give it to me." ”

I handed it to Michael, and Michael handed it over to the Ancestor of the Dried Corpse, and I hallucinated that the Dried Corpse had just smiled. Actually, it didn't, I suspect it would have died long ago, and I even suspect that if I was around it for too long, I would have been driven crazy.

The ancestor of the dry corpse said, "I am happy, I haven't been so happy in a long time, Michael, Longinus, you have done a good thing for me." ”

Michael was also ecstatic, saying, "It's my great pleasure to be able to please you." ”

"I've been teaching you for more than a year, trying to get you close to the power that Missouri has, you're still young, and I'm patient," said the Dry Corpse Ancestor. However, your outstanding performance has made me decide to speed up your progress, come, drink blood from me. ”

Michael had a look of fear and anticipation, just as he had when he mentioned that Missouri was going to suck his blood. He walked over to the transparent coffin, opened his mouth tremblingly, and bit the arm of the young dry corpse, and in an instant, his whole body was flushed, like a precursor to the rupture of blood vessels!

The scene was eerie, disgusting, and I couldn't help but take a half step back.

Le Gang hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Ancestor! Raise your hands! ”

The ancestor of the dry corpse did not answer, and Michael shed tears in his eyes, and I went up with Legang to save him, but an ice wall blocked our way.

A few seconds later, Michael rolled over and fell to the ground, and I held him up and watched as the thick blood vessels in his body gradually returned to normal.

Michael said, "This ..... It's incredible, I ..... Become very powerful. ”

The Dry Corpse Ancestor said, "I have triggered your talent, please make good use of this demon blood, the bloods are the top predators, as the archon, you must maintain the deterrent power." ”

Michael smiled wryly, "I always thought it would be enough to have your backing. ”

"No, think of Missouri."

Michael nodded in instruction.

The ancestor of the dry corpse said, "Legang Tiado, do you want to be enlightened by me?" ”

Le Gang shook his head and said, "No, please allow me to decline politely, I firmly believe that hard training has given me the ability to deal with emergencies." ”

The Dry Corpse Ancestor said, "That's it, Fishbone Longinus, what do you want?" ”

I said, "100,000,000,000 credits, deposited in my account at Mercury Comptoir." ”

Michael and Legang stared at me, and indeed, I thought it was strange, after all, discussing the value of money with the ancestors of the dried corpse was like discussing the beauty of bed with the eunuch.

The Dry Corpse Ancestor said, "Michael, please do this for me, I don't want to owe it to mortals." ”

"Of course," Michael said. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, like nectar after a long drought. But why do you feel that you are falling deeper and deeper into the financial trap of the black coffin?

The ancestor of the dry corpse said, "The second part of the fragment, which was also written by Cain, tells the scene of Cain meeting the banshee Lilith, and the three of you should listen to this book. ”

I had no interest in history, but Michael and Legang were already sitting on their seats, and I had to follow suit.

The ancestor of the dry corpse reads: "I am far from the light, I walk in darkness, and the world is empty.

The earth is full of thorns, and the vines are like the sea,

Wild beasts kill each other, and rivers of blood flow.

Light and darkness are equivalent,

What if I turn my back on the light?

In the dark, I embraced solitude and I retained my self-esteem.

I met a strange woman in a distant garden.

Her robe was as red as blood, and her lips were as black as ink,

Her face was pale as ice, and her gaze was blazing like fire.

She said her name was Lilith. She was Adam's sister and Adam's first wife.

She was the first to be banished because she was the first to gain power.

'The Creator excludes the brave, curses the rebellious, and rejoices from generation to generation.

You see the beasts, even the plants, the big beasts devour the little beasts, eat their blood and bones, and the big trees rob the little ones of the sunlight and nutrients.

It is an eternal truth that the strong are above the weak, and this is the order of all things.

The old will take advantage of the young, and no age can escape from this. ’

Lilith revealed to me the truth, the nature of humanity, the nature of the world. The rule of the strong over the weak is a matter of course.

She fed me potions and food, and taught me magic and powers.

However, she was hiding something from this, and I was slow to make progress. So I bit her throat and drank her plasma.

She was lying in a pool of blood, but she smiled at me.

Like a loving mother who has just finished nurturing her child.

I have the power of a god, and I have a fury that surpasses the beasts.

She is the Mother of Darkness, and in the darkness She embraced me, taught me, and nurtured me.

But I bit her body and drank her blood.

Look, Creator, I have a second mother in my forsaken world.

Behold, Creator, the power of darkness is now mine.

I am powerful, I manipulate blood,

I call darkness like a sibling, and my skin is stronger than steel and diamonds.

The people of Adam could no longer hurt me, and they trembled before me.

I am the strong, and they are the weak.

Let me be their God. ’”
