Chapter 58: Two or Three Things About the Bloodline
"The bloods, or the vampires as you ordinary people call them, were first brought to the Americas from the land of Europe, and the exact origin is impossible to verify, and we have followed us since the beginning of mankind.
I was converted to the Bloodline in 1821, when we were still living in Germany, and my father was the Grand Duke of a small principality. In that year, Napoleon, the French lion who had swept across Europe, officially left this world, and the land of Europe was loosened.
One day, my father, now Duke Cullen of the Blood Elders, led his troops to suppress a rebellion in his realm. Later, I heard that it was a cult activity, and the soldiers in the territory had a bloody battle with the cultists.
Originally, I didn't want to win Father's Day, and I didn't want to be overwhelmed by locusts falling from the sky when I was about to win, mixed with a swarm of bats that covered the sky.
The army was in chaos, and my father fled from the chaos, and when he returned, he fell into an abnormality, as if he had changed people, and hid in his room all day long.
Then one night, he came into my room with a mouth full of blood, kissed my neck, and made me suck his blood, and our family of seven, including my two younger sisters and one younger brother, were all converted into blood. ”
Speaking of this, Stefa's expression was in a trance, as if he had returned to the day again, and was reincarnated as an immortal monster by his father.
Lin Xiao and the others listened with great interest, vampires are creatures that have been rumored since ancient times, almost the embodiment of night, synonymous with elegance, and a source of fear.
Compared to werewolves, vampires are more well-known and mysterious, with countless stories and legends circulating.
Whoever calls people not only has good looks, but also most of them are noble, wealthy and rich, and have mysterious spells, so they are naturally more well-known.
Stefan adjusted his mood and continued:
"Because of my fatherhood, we kept a lot of blood food in captivity to provide us with fresh blood. This process lasted for fifty years, until 1871, when Prussia defeated the Second French Empire and Germany was officially united.
My father was deposed from his knighthood, he lost all his land and his people, and our blood food was drastically reduced, and we had to start hunting everywhere.
Our actions were soon discovered by the authorities, and the Knights Templar, an ancient organization of vampire hunters, began rounding us up, my brother and sister, who died under their swords, and Darmont and I fought to escape.
Later, my father felt that there was no place for us in Europe, and at that time, the United States ended the Civil War and a large number of European immigrants began to pour in, so we moved to the American continent as well.
For more than 100 years, human science and technology have made rapid progress, invented lethality and a large number of thermal weapons, the living space of our blood clan has been seriously compressed, and it has become more and more difficult to hunt for food.
Many people of insight in the clan tried to find a new source of blood, and finally found that the blood of animals can actually allow us to survive, so I, who hate sucking human blood, also became one of them.
It's just that my father, including Darmont, always thought that animal blood was not as delicious as human blood, and they couldn't stand the fishy smell and resisted it very much, and they called us degenerates, and excluded us.
Then, I didn't want to stay in the community, so I ran away from home, and happened to be attracted by the atmosphere of the small town of Hawkins, so I stayed here. ”
After talking about the experience, Stefan took a sip of wine, and a hint of blush appeared on his face.
Jiexi listened fascinated, with a life span of more than 160 years, and almost experienced various major historical events in modern times:
The Napoleonic Wars, the unification of Germany, the rising sun, the American Civil War, and the two world wars are thrilling just to think about.
Lin Xiao heard something else, Stefan had only given up sucking human blood in recent decades, so how many people had died in the hands of their family in the past hundred years, I am afraid that they would have to use 10,000 as a counting unit.
Not a single vampire is innocent!
Stefan felt Lin Xiao's emotions, his mood became much lower, he raised his head and said:
"I know that I am not innocent, and that there are hundreds of innocent people who have died under my mouth, and their screams before they die keep echoing in my ears and keep me awake at night.
Unexpectedly, when I stepped into the class that day and saw Jonathan, a voice sounded in my heart, this boy was the person I was always looking for, the one who could put an end to my suffering. ”
"Stop, if you want me to get you on your way, I'd love to, but my rule is not to kill innocent people. Since you've stopped sucking human blood for so many years, I don't have a reason to kill you, so don't try to make me do it. ”
Lin Xiao hurriedly interjected, no matter what, he also has a few relationships with Stefan, and now letting him kill the other party will definitely leave a psychological shadow.
Eh, Stefan's face was full of embarrassment, and he said embarrassedly:
"It's not that you want to kill me, but I feel an unusual aura in you, and that aura calms my mind and no longer thinks about those past events.
After I went back that day, I had a rare good night's sleep, so I wanted to make friends with you, but unexpectedly, Damont suddenly found me, which led to the tragedy. ”
Eh, Lin Xiao was also embarrassed now, he thought he was looking for his own relief, but he just wanted to feel better, when did he have this ability?
He hurriedly diverted the topic and asked:
"What's going on with your Council of Elders, and what is the strength of your Godamat, and your father, Duke Karen, as a human transcendent, roughly equivalent to it?"
If Damont has the strength of eight or nine levels, then his father, Duke Karen, must exceed level ten and reach the level strength after the transfer.
Stefan thought for a moment and replied:
"Your strength is about the same as that of the official knights of the Templar Order, the viscount title in our blood clan, in terms of true strength, you are inferior to Damont.
However, that ability to summon thunder will hurt us a lot, and Dammont may not be able to kill you, which is why he fled from the battlefield.
As for my father, I didn't mean to intimidate you, he has become an elder of our blood clan, and only the Holy Grand Knight of the Templar Order is qualified to fight him.
There are thirteen elders like my father, and although a few of them are marquises, their strength is comparable to that of the Holy Knights, one order higher than the official Knights.
In addition, above the Council of Elders, there are three princes, but they are not on the American continent, but live in Europe, and their strength is only matched by legendary paladins.
And above the prince, there is the source of all our blood clans, the legendary blood ancestor, whose whereabouts are unknown to the clan, so whether he is still alive in the world, no one knows.
Legend has it that the strength of the Blood Ancestor has touched the realm of the gods, and an angel once descended to the earth to try to subdue him, and the two had a shocking battle, and since then the Blood Ancestor has also disappeared. ”
Stefan said in great detail, even the old ancestor said it, he really wanted to make friends with Lin Xiao, he was afraid that he would not know the height of the sky, and rashly run to offend the high-level of the blood clan.
Lin Xiao thought for a moment, the strength of the Blood Ancestor is estimated to be equivalent to the True Dragon Star Monarch who has awakened for the second time, and the prince is equivalent to the Dragon Fighter after the awakening, the Duke is close to the exorcist after being promoted to level 20, and the Marquis should be equivalent to the strength of the exorcist after the transfer.
I never expected that in the real world, the power of the blood clan was so strong, and with his current level, once he offended them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
No, it seems to have been offended!
