XXXI. The War of Extermination

The shadow of death soon fades, Norris falls silent, and Christina returns to the coffin. We had no clue but to wait. It's okay to scrap the clock, but I can't figure out how he could be the medium of the pale bride?

Perhaps, just as Tiphon and Missouri can control humans, the pale bride's necromancy can control even living corpses.

I asked, "Son, how are you feeling?" ”

The waste bell said, "I can't feel anything." ”

I asked, "Do you know what's going on?" She's going to get out of your body. ”

"It's like I'm not there all at once, and she's taking over everything." He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry." ”

Lamia said, "No one expected this, Norris was not prepared, and it is not your fault. ”

"My existence is a mistake. ”

We shouted together: "Less cranky! ”

In the dark of night, Ti Feng woke up, she already knew everything, and seemed to be as usual, but I knew that the anger in her heart was close to boiling.

Tiphon gritted his teeth and said, "Cappadocia! Suddenly, she grabbed the Waste Bell by the neck and pressed him against the wall, and the Waste Bell could only resist with the Flame of the Dead, which only angered Ti Feng even more, and she said coldly, "Do you know how I have always dealt with traitors? ”

Waste Zhong looked at her indifferently, as if this body was not his own.

I pointed the spear gun at Tiphon's heart and said, "Let him go." "Lamia didn't stop me and seemed to acquiesce to my move.

Tifeng said, "Longinus, this is not like you, do you really think you are my opponent?" ”

I replied, "It's not like you, you don't know all my strength, and you dare to threaten my friend's life?" ”

Tiphon let go of the waste clock, and I retrieved the spear gun. I was right, I knew that the Bloodlines of Ti Feng knew more about flexibility than humans, after all, they had been in power for hundreds of years, and they were proficient in all scheming, and she would never create unnecessary enemies or give up valuable allies.

She summons Norris, who appears behind Wenling once more. Tiphon scolded, "Why are the people of Cappadocia here? I've heard that Giovanni has killed them all! ”

Norris looked cowardly, like a servant rather than a duke of equal rank, and replied, "I remember her, yes, I remember, it's her!" ”

Tiphon said, "Who is she? ”

Norris replied, "Malacheni, she is the daughter of Cappadocia. ”

The question is, who is this Cappadocia that they have been talking about?

Tifeng said: "She's still alive? ”

Norris sighed: "She's dead, I tied her to the pillar of fire with my own hands and burned her, she can't return...."

It seems that our Norris has done a lot of hurtful things.

Tiphon said, "Now that the two Sealing Stones are gone, give me a suggestion, Norris, or I'll let you taste my wrath." ”

Norris was speechless for a moment, and finally said, "Luckily, Miss Christina has hit Malacheni hard, and she will definitely need time to recuperate as well." ”

Tifeng said, "She's in a gang with Ambrosa? ”

Norris hurriedly shouted, "No way! When she died, Ambrosa and I were executioners! It must have been her and Ambrosa's simultaneous awareness of the emergence of the Sealing Stone, and they would never join forces when they acted separately. ”

Tiphon scoffed, "You two are really crappy executioners, she didn't die at all, and she toyed with us in the palm of her hand. ”

Norris was ashamed, bowed his head and said, "We have all miscalculated, for many years, we have only learned the surface of necromancy, we have studied corpses, and Cappadocia has searched for souls, their realm is much more esoteric than ours. ”

At this time, Christina appeared in the car and said, "We need to get at least one Sealing Stone, is there anything left?" ”

Norris replied, "I need to analyze the stars, but the time has been missed, I could have found the next stone with the stone I obtained, but the stone is also..."

The mask suddenly pointed at the Waste Bell and said, "Maybe the Waste Bell Brotherhood will have a clue." ”

The waste bell asked, "Me?" ”

"He is a living corpse, not an ordinary corpse," said the mask, "and even the pale bride must be infused with a great deal of will to occupy his body, and in that brief moment, it will inevitably leave a deep imprint." ”

Norris thought for a moment and said, "There's a play, there's a play!" Through the Hellfire, we may be able to track down Malacheni, and even if we can't, we can find out what she was thinking. ”

The waste bell sighed: "What do you want to do? ”

Norris said, "By the moonlight, child, abandon distractions completely, and let me read your mind and show your fire." ”

Looking at me with a reluctant expression, I nodded at him, and out of trust in me, I replied, "Okay." ”

We came outside the car, and some black water gushed out from the cyst in Wenling, and the black water writhed and spread, growing like a plant, and suddenly, the black water burrowed into the fingers of the waste clock, and even the waste clock, which was numb to pain, seemed to feel severe pain.

Thirty minutes later, the Waste Bell spat out the black water, and Norris said, "I couldn't track down Malacheni, but I know where she hid the Seal Stone." ”

"Get in the car, we don't have time to waste," Tifeng said. ”

Norris said, "Counting the one she just took, she now has two Seal Stones. But she didn't have both with her, one of which was hidden in the ruins of the city, a day's drive away. ”

Tifeng said: "Does she have another accomplice? ”

Norris said, "Strangely, there are others, other Bloods, who may have been transformed into humans since she woke up. ”

Tifeng said, "You give me a way to kill her, and you must not let her escape again." ”

Norris replied, "Yes." He sneaked back into Wen Ling's body, and Wen Ling was overconsumed and fell asleep weakly.

Outside the window was the dark night, and Yune was like a giant undead wandering in the Land of the Necrons.

I asked, "Lord Duke, can you explain what is going on in this Cappadocia?" I'm completely confused. ”

"The history of the Bloodline is very old, almost overlapping with the history of humanity. In the long course of history, there are many bloodlines that have disappeared, and this Cappadocia is one of them.

They are known as psychic mages, and their ancestor, Cappadocia, was a third-generation blood clan, the Flood Ancestors.

Thousands of years ago, nay, maybe 10,000 years ago, Cain wanted to learn about death, and he brought his son Enoch to a priest of death, and ordered Enoch to turn the priest of death into a blood family. That priest was Cappadocia, who became a scholar of high standing in the empire founded by Cain.

The Bloodline is somewhere between life and death, and it is unknown if Cappadocia has been inspired by this state, and his necromancy has become so powerful and mysterious that even Cain cannot understand his realm.

Cappadocia was a withdrawn man, preferring knowledge to mundane matters, so he left all the family business to his children. Their clan, Cappadocia, are also known for their necromancy, however, necromancy is a taboo, and even among the Bloods, they make enemies everywhere.

This hostility did not develop to the point of war, and the rest of the bloodlines hated Cappadocia, but remained at peace with them on the surface.

It is said that in the 16th century, Cappadocia listened to the advice of his sons and decided to participate more in human society in order to gain greater benefits and power. They set their sights on a family of necromancers from Italy, whose leader, Augustus Giovanni, Cappadocia himself had turned into a blood family.

After that, the situation changed dramatically, and instead of prospering, Cappadocia could not stop its decline. According to the records, the number of Cappadocia blood clans at that time reached more than 1,000 people, which is the largest number of all bloodlines, but it seems that there was infighting among them, and a large number of Cappadocia blood clans mysteriously disappeared, which is still a mystery in the history of the blood clan. ”

I said, "Is there an inner ghost?" ”

Both Tifeng and Chris smiled grimly, and Tiphon said, "Isn't that obvious? The inner ghost is Augustus Giovanni. He had coveted the esoteric art of necromancy since he became a Bloodline, and he also sensed Cappadocia's tensions with the rest of the Bloods and decided to take advantage of this. He's a very smart man, and he's extremely dangerous. ”

I said, "Yet he died by the sword of a wise and powerful queen." "I have offended Tiphon before, and I am afraid that she will settle the score, so I must continue to please her now, and perhaps then she will forgive me for my little rudeness.

Ti Feng said: "A wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake." The longer you live, the greater your chances of making mistakes. Cappadocia's reign lasted for several epochs, and finally a flaw finally came to light, and Giovanni found the resting place of Cappadocia, devouring the blood and soul of his ancestor. He then launched a bloody and thorough hunt against the Cappadocia clan.

His actions were so swift and decisive that he shocked the Blood World at that time. The Cappadocia clan is the oldest and most orthodox bloodline, and the rest of the bloodlines believe that Giovanni's move is a great rebellion and should be decisively stopped, and severely punished, vowing to eradicate the Giovanni clan.

But Cappadocia had many enemies and was so disgusting that at the second meeting of the elders on the matter, the representatives of the various bloodlines took the most absurd decision to ignore Giovanni's rebellion, but instead of paying attention to Giovanni's rebellion, they signed a treaty refusing to contain any of the Cappadocian fugitives.

Eventually, above the Third Council of Elders, Augustus Giovanni attended, and he even hooked up with the ancient vampires to drink and talk, and the Council accepted Augustus Giovanni as one of the great families of the Bloodline, while the Cappadocia were abandoned. Augustus was able to confidently and boldly eradicate the remnants of Cappadocia. ”

Christina nodded, "This event is known as the 'Giovanni War', and along with another mutiny around the same time, it reshaped the history of the Bloodline. From then on, until the end came, the two new families were among the most powerful in the bloodline. ”

Tiphon sighed, "What puzzles me the most is that when I killed Augustus, he wasn't surprisingly powerful, I mean, he should have the power of an ancestor, but why.... Why hasn't it shown commensurate power? Could it be that something went wrong when he devoured Cappadocia's soul? He has been bluffing all these years? ”
