Section IX. Decisions

"Yo, Xiaoling, haha, are you crying?" As soon as Kate entered the door, she saw Ling sitting silently in her chair.

"You're crying!" Kate's gloomy mood was gone, and he really wouldn't pick the time.

"I said Lingling......" Kate unceremoniously squeezed into a sofa chair with Ling.

"You can't stay away from me, there are still a lot of chairs over there!" Ling tried to stand up, but Kate's big hand hugged her tightly.

"I want to be with Xiaoling, no matter what Xiaoling's decision is, and no matter whether my lovely Ling's decision is right or wrong, Dad, I will always be on Xiaoling's side, so Xiaoling, don't show this expression, Dad, I will be heartbroken."

"You ......"

"By the way, Xiaoling, did you think my father and I were so handsome just now? Good to rely on? Kate blinked expectantly at Ling, who was close at hand.

"Nope!" This guy. Ling breaks free from Kate's clutches. "I have something to ask you."

"Oh, it's rare that Xiaoling has something she doesn't know to ask me, my father, ask, Dad, I must know everything, say everything, and ......."

"Do you know that one named Zhuge Xun? Where did he come from? ”

"Dad, I hate that guy! I didn't expect him to dare to appear in front of me so swaggeringly, I should have killed him when I saw him, but Dad, I felt that he should have the value of using Xiaoling, all of which left his life, if Xiaoling also hated him, now I will go and deal with him, although his ability is a little special, but he is not my opponent of Dad. I said Xiaoling, are you listening to your father? ”

"Can you get to the point?" Who will cure this chatter in front of you! "It would be more advantageous for us to have him join us in tomorrow's battle, but because of your connections, he is against us, and with his ability, it will be very troublesome for us."

It turns out that in Xiaoling's heart, Dad is actually not as good as a person he just met! What do you mean because of my relationship!! Xiaoling, how can you say that about Dad! It makes me sad so much Dad! ”

"I didn't mean that......

"What does Xiao Ling think his ability should be?"

"He's supposed to be a 'sorcerer' or something, and see if he can control those weird creatures. How did you become enemies? ”

"Enemies? When I said we were enemies, I just said I hated him, but it was the first time I had met him. If he wasn't a 'subspecies' I would be happy to be friends with him, after all, there shouldn't be many people like him.

You say that he is a 'magician', but in fact, it is almost the same, in ancient times, when people encountered events or phenomena that they could not explain, they would let someone explain and solve them.

You've probably heard the name 'wizard', right? Wizards have many functions in a society: they can use 'magic' to protect others from natural disasters, outsiders and enemies, and of course they can manipulate nature and explain horrific phenomena.

The other is the 'Onmyoji'. ”

"Onmyoji?" Ling heard this title for the first time.

"It's no wonder you're surprised, the Onmyoji has long since disappeared. However, judging by his ability, he should belong to the category of 'Onmyoji'. Alas, Xiaoling, if you have time, you should go to the library on the third floor to see the collection of books in Hongyue! No knowledge at all!

Onmyoji, also known as a soothsayer, or illusionist, originated in China. They not only know how to look at the stars and face people, but also measure their directions, know the difference in calamity, draw talismans, chant spells, and perform illusions. They are also well aware of the unseen powers of people, such as fate, spirits, and ghosts, and have the ability to control these things.

I remember that there seems to be a book called "Zhou Yi" in Hongyue, which talks about this matter, if you want to know, you can go and see it.

In fact, in the past, there were only two people who used yin and yang and witchcraft best, one was Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period of China, and the other was Abe Harumi in the Heian period of Japan. They were arguably the greatest sorcerers.

That Zhuge Xun is probably the descendant of that Zhuge Liang. ”

"But he ......" Ling remembered the attack on the border, it should be what Zhuge Xun used.

"I said Xiaoling, you can't look good, don't look at my father, my appearance is handsome and unique, invincible in the world, unparalleled in the world, in fact, my inside is much better than my appearance, Xiaoling want to know more about Dad?"

"Don't!"

"Cut, tell you, don't look at that Zhuge Xun is about the same age as you, he can probably be three hundred and sixty or seventy years old. Otherwise, how dare he appear in front of Uncle Ben with one subspecies! ”

"How old do you think he is?"

"I'm surprised at that, so I'll tell you one more thing." Kate hooked her finger at Ling.

"What's the matter?" Ling looked at Kate suspiciously.

"Actually, according to my guess, Xiaohong may be an onmyoji who has lived for a long time. I was surprised how it was. ”

"It doesn't matter to me what she is."

"I don't believe you're not curious about Xiaohonghong?"

"Why do you two look like enemies when you meet? You and Zhuge Xun. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, he's a vampire like me, but he's a subspecies."

"What do you mean by 'subspecies' all the time?" Ling didn't understand.

"How can I explain it to you...... To let such a stupid Xiaoling understand, Dad, I'm really nerve-wracking. ”

"Do you want to tell me!"

"Don't worry, I'm not looking for someone you can understand. To put it simply, he was an ordinary person just like you. Only later did he become a vampire. Just like those aliens now, but he has been around for a long time, and his blood was also pure-blood when he was 'first embraced', so he didn't become an alien. ”

"......" Ling still doesn't understand much.

"That is to say, if an ordinary person wants to become a member of our blood clan, he must first go through the process of 'first embrace'. And the so-called 'initial embrace' means that this person must first be sucked out of the blood by a member of the blood clan, and then immediately accept the blood of the blood clan to feed the body, of course, it is not just after sucking the blood of the other party can become a vampire, and after exchanging blood, you can become a newborn member of the blood clan, this experience often brings very strong feelings, mixed with fear and ecstasy, which will make the blood clan unforgettable.

For this newborn member of the bloodline, we call it a 'subspecies'. The owner of the subspecies has absolute control over the subspecies. Even if it is not its own master, but a noble blood clan like me, it can be disposed of at will. Besides, this Zhuge Xun has not yet been recognized by the prince. If I want to guess, he probably just became a blood clan and was left to fend for himself, and it is his destiny to live until now! Although I am a count, I will not give him 'recognition'. ”

"How did he come back to life......?" Ling couldn't imagine.

"Although we blood people don't need to eat human food, we need to constantly absorb blood. Especially when night falls, I will have a strong desire for blood, and this desire is more intense than human hunger, and my throat hurts like a tear, forcing myself to suck human blood. That's one of the reasons Dad, I don't want to force you into a Bloodline. ”

"Do you want to ...... Take me?! ”

"Of course, Dad, I want to love Xiaoling forever! That woman probably thought the same way. Kate shrugged and said she didn't care.

"Okay, I'm going to rest, and I have a decisive battle tomorrow." In fact, Ling means 'you go quickly, don't leave with me!' ’

"Oh, does Xiaoling want to sleep with her father? Want your dad to hug you? Is Xiao Lingling coquettish to her father? What to do? ”

"It's not! Forget it, I won't tell you, I'll go out for a walk. ”

Kate, who was left behind, lazily nestled in the sofa: "That two-faced man is afraid that Ling alone is afraid ...... Dad, how should I do it, I want them to win, but I don't want Xiaoling to get hurt...... If it were Her Royal Highness the Princess, what would she do at this time? I think it's been a long time since I've been to see her, so I should go and say hello. Kate played with the key.

Ling, who is alone, arrives at the central plaza. It seems that the sudden cessation of the attack of the rebel army during the day is because the eldest brother wants to talk to him, since the words are not speculative, it should be a decisive battle after dawn. Is it true that the association is not going to send troops to the rescue...... Really want to give up the third lap? Even if you don't give up, the difference in strength between the two sides is too much......

"Why are you alone? What about the vampire? ”

Ling looked back and saw that it was Zhuge Xun. "It turned out to be Mr. Zhuge , will you help me?"

"I'm sorry for my offense, I overheard your conversation with that two-faced man, and I just wanted to make sure what kind of person my collaborator was."

"And what about your judgment? Will you be on my side? Ling wasn't sure if Zhuge Xun would help her, after all, he had that kind of relationship with Kate......

"I'm not helping you, I'm helping the world. Those damn aliens shouldn't exist in this world, although the world is collapsing, and although the power of one person is small, I believe that as long as our insignificant forces come together, the world will definitely change for the better. ”

"Does Mr. Zhuge also think that this world should be protected rather than destroyed?"

"Of course!"

Listening to Zhuge Xun's words, Ling smiled with relief.

A glimmer of light ushered in the dim sky......
