Chapter 743: Family History
"The surprise of being a vampire is that he has an infinite amount of time to use his cleverness to gain more knowledge."
Holding Ye Qianhu's arm, Alice whispered: "After that, he traveled to France and continued to tour Europe and visit the institutions of higher learning there. Studying music, science, and medicine at night, he realized his mission, and his salvation, which was to save human life. ”
Alice's expression also became serious, "It's hard for me to put into words the ordeal that Carlisle went through, and after two centuries of hard work, he finally found a way to completely control himself. Now, he can be completely free from the temptation of human blood and can work as a doctor with peace of mind, in fact, working in a hospital will give him peace. ”
"Some, incredible, Carlisle is probably the only one of the vampires who can do this, right?" Ye Qianhu sighed.
Alice agreed: "That's it, even Edward, who has been with him the longest, can't be completely indifferent to human blood, and we do even worse." And most vampires in this world will not refrain from touching human blood at all, because they think that it is meaningless, and even think that it is a vice. ”
Alice tapped her finger on the frame of a huge oil painting on the wall, "While studying in Italy, he discovered the same kind of people who lived there. Compared to their London counterparts who live in the sewers, they are much more civilized. Despite their same disregard for human life, they revered art and science, as well as law. ”
The vampires on the oil painting, Ye Qianhu naturally knew it, because he had only come into contact with these vampires yesterday, and the process was very unfriendly. In the painting, the Volturi triumvirate is depicted as gods, worshipped by the people below, and in it, Carlyle is easily recognizable.
"It's Francesco Solimena's work, and if it were to be put up for auction, it would definitely sell for a good price."
A little joking, Alice stared at the Volturi triumvirate in the painting, frowned, and said: "They don't know how many thousand years they lived, and Carlisle and them only lived for a short time, probably only a few decades." Carlisle admired their civilized and refined way of life, but they especially wanted to cure Carlisle's ailment, the 'dislike of natural food'. They tried to persuade him, and he persuaded them, neither of them could change the other, and in the end Carlisle decided to leave Europe and try it in the New World. ”
Decades sounds like a long time, but for a vampire whose life seems to have no end, it can really only be said to be very short.
"You know, he must have been very lonely at that time, desperate to find a group of confidants who thought the same as him."
"He didn't gain anything for a long time, but as he found it, the ghost became a legend in the eyes of the people, and he found that he could associate with humans who were not suspicious, as if he were one of them."
This thought has been influencing others around her, and Esme and the others agree with Carlisle's philosophy and are willing to pretend to be human and blend in with the crowd and live in peace with them. A lot of times it's funny, and sometimes it makes us think that we're human and that we're not monsters. ”
"He started to become a doctor, which helped him a lot, but after all, he didn't find the kind he wanted, the lifelong mate he wanted, and his identity still kept him from being too close to humans."
An idea was born in his mind for many years, and since he couldn't find the same kind he wanted, why not make it himself? But he had no memory of how he had been converted, so he hesitated. What's more, he hated the same way that others took his life, and he used it to take the lives of others. ”
"Edward was the first, and it's no coincidence, Edward has been waiting too long. There was an outbreak of the Spanish flu, and he noticed Edward, who was dying and beyond the medical conditions of the time. ”
Carlisle, who had cared for Edward's parents, knew he was already an orphan, so he decided to give his idea a try.
As you can see, Edward became a member of the family, and for a while he did not identify with Carlisle's ascetic thoughts, disgusted that he suppressed his desires, as if he were a teenager in his rebellious years. He had been away for a few years, and he was able to hear what others were thinking, so he only took the bad guys as prey, thinking that it would lessen his sins. ”
"But in the end he came back, because he found that no matter how justified the reason, he owed many lives, and it was a sin that could not be escaped."
Taking Ye Qianhu out of the study and into her own room instead, Alice continued to talk about the family history.
"Esme is the second, and when she was converted, it was the second time she saw Carlisle, in fact, Esme had a crush on Carlisle from the beginning. At that time, Esme's son died young, and she couldn't stand such a blow and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, and then she was sent directly to the morgue. But Carlisle knew that she was not dead, but that she was too badly injured, so he converted her, and later, Esme became Carlisle's wife. ”
Then there's Rosalie, who was found dead in the streets when Carlisle found her, "Considering Rosalie's pain, Alice didn't say what happened to Rosalie that night, you know, vampires have a very, very sensitive sense of hearing. When she tells it here, maybe the protagonist of the story is listening.
The next thing really verified this fact.
"Emmett was the last to be converted by Carlisle, the fool was scratched by a bear, and it was Rosalie who found him and carried him to Carlisle, making Carlisle change him."
"Maybe the brown bear had some effect on him, Emmett was the strongest one in the family, probably with muscles in his head. But Rosalie liked it, and she thought Emmett was simple and cute. ”
As Alice spoke, Ye Qianhu heard the snickering voice from Rosalie and Esme, and when the words fell, Emmett's angry voice came again.
"Hey, don't describe me as cute, and I'm not stupid. If my head is full of muscles, yours must be full of fashion magazines and makeup! ”
"Emmet, shut up," Alice said to the wall, "and that's better than full of muscles." ”
