195. Heterogeneous origin

After reading most of the books in Kama Taj's library, Sean made a beeline through the portal of the central hall to the London Temple, the magical center of continental Europe, and the first place to go if he wanted to find clues to Mephisto.

The incarnation of the Hell Lord was innumerable, and even if it was located through Skynet, it was difficult to determine for a while, and the young man was also quite curious about the three major temples located in the material world and forming a strong line of defense, and he really wanted to know how the mage organization hidden in the back of the world worked.

Led by Mordo, Sean stepped into the center of the temple in West London, where a steady stream of mages in red robes walked in a hurry, with a serious expression, a large star hanging above the vestibule, shimmering with a lava-like red sheen, and the geographical pattern of the entire European continent was striking.

"This is Master Lucas Mandalay, the head of the London Temple, and you can reach him if you have any questions." Mordo introduced an old man with gray hair, "Master Mandalay is also an official of the Ministry of Education in London, so we also jokingly call him 'Dumbledore'. ”

Sean smiled and shook hands with the Mandalay mage gently, after a brief introduction to himself, Mordo explained their intentions, the supreme mage noticed that the alien creatures on the European continent seemed to be extremely active recently, and the invasion reaction increased by twenty percent compared to usual, most likely because Mephisto was about to perform the reincarnation ritual, and the minions of hell were swarming.

Mage Mandalay nodded, and he sighed: "Not only the demons of hell, but also those vampires and werewolves who usually hide and do not hide, have also appeared frequently recently, the Knights Templar and the witchers, as well as the major monasteries, all have varying degrees of casualties. ”

After listening to this, Mordo couldn't help but have a serious expression, the Supreme Mage really didn't guess wrong, the number of activities of these dark creatures is constantly increasing, it seems that Mephisto is not only trying to use the combined body of demons and humans to complete his own arrival, I am afraid that he is also secretly planning a huge conspiracy that no one knows.

"Vampires and werewolves?" Sean was a little surprised, although he had seen many accounts of such creatures in Kama Taj's library, it was still difficult to understand.

Master Mandalay glanced at the young man and explained with a smile: "The enemies of the temple are not only angels and demons, such spirit creatures living in the dimensional world, but also vampires and werewolves that exist in movies and television dramas or in them, as well as evil spirits, fallen mages, etc., they are all unclean people who are naturally inclined to the evil camp. ”

The old man led Sean and Mordo through the corridor to a huge study, with tall bookshelves standing on the walls, a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, exuding bright light, and the overall brown-red visual layout revealed a graceful and elegant atmosphere.

Beckoning slightly, a heavy book with a black cover fell into the hands of Master Mandalay, who spread out the pages and introduced the origins of vampires and werewolves to Sean: "In the fifth century B.C., the plague plague known as the 'Black Death' broke out, killing 25 million people, and the virus spread to every village, and no one was spared, except for a human named Alexandre Covinus, who overcame the invasion of the virus and awakened the recessive genes in his body, becoming the first undead - It has a long life force and extraordinary strength. ”

"Alexander had three sons, and Marcus, who was bitten by a bat, became the father of vampires and lived a long life, but was afraid of sunlight and ultraviolet rays; William, who was bitten by a vicious wolf, was the ancestor of werewolves, who were very brutal and bloodthirsty in the early days, and could not transform into a human body; The last bloodline is an ordinary human being, who experiences birth, old age, sickness and death. For hundreds of years, the battle between vampires and werewolves has never subsided, but to mages, they are all aliens, dark creatures that need to be exterminated. ”

The Mandalay mage handed the heavy ancient book to Sean and said softly: "There are many records of alien creatures in this, you can understand that centuries ago, humans were lambs to be slaughtered in their eyes, vampires kept werewolves in captivity, sheltered the great nobles, and obtained various resources and treasures, and later a werewolf slave named Lucian overthrew the rule of vampires, he was the first werewolf in history who could turn into a human body, until now, these two old enemies of Alexander's blood are still active on the European continent." ”

"Some of them went to other places to multiply, such as the Italian Volturi family, known as the royal family of the Blood, who founded the city of Vautra, a city full of vampires. A century ago, they made a peace pact with the Temple, hiding their identities and never actively harming humans, and the mages would not trouble them for no reason...... On top of that, there's the Carlisle family in Phoenix, USA, which is traditionally 'vegan', which I really appreciate. ”

Sean raised his eyebrows, it is worthy of being a solid line of defense in the material world, the foundation of the temple is deeper than he thought, it can almost be called S.H.I.E.L.D. that regulates dark creatures, Kama Taj is the holy place for mages, and below it are the three major temples, responsible for monitoring the invasion and movement of alien creatures, and the Knights Templar on the next level, or various monasteries, hermitages and other ancient sects, constantly in the name of religion or other names, to train excellent mages and witchers.

The vast network of layers of intricacies was enough to make anyone's heart tremble, and the young man turned one of the pages and asked softly, "The temple will also issue bounty missions?" ”

Master Mandalay rightly said, "Of course, we also have a special website, register our identity, and after obtaining the permission of the temple, those unorganized witchers can accept the mission, which can ease a lot of work for us." ”

The old man skillfully opened his mobile phone, clicked on a certain APP, and said with a smug smile: "This is the temple's latest research and development of 'Didi Demon Slayer', which connects to the central hall of Kama Taj and can release tasks at any time, and show that the nearby witchers, after the pilot of the London Temple, the results have been remarkable, and now it has begun to be officially promoted." ”

After that, Master Mandalay also clicked on the information of the witcher at the top of the list, "This is a pair of brothers from the Winchester family, the most powerful witcher group in the New York Temple, if their record has been so bright, the temple is ready to absorb them." ”

The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, and he looked at Mordo, who was a little sluggish, it seemed that the Templar mages were not all pedantic people, which was more interesting than he thought.

"And what is Mephisto's bounty?" The young man asked with interest.

Mandalay mage looked surprised, the top ten sky-high tasks are generally unacceptable, and they are not qualified to challenge at all, unless it is a figure of the level of the supreme mage, otherwise it is almost impossible for ordinary witchers and mages to defeat the big demons in hell, or high-level blood clans and werewolves.

"Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, is ranked in the top three, and the bounty is as high as 100 million euros, which can be collected in the major temples."

Sean couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that no mage would be poor, this huge bounty was enough to make anyone forget the terrifying power of the Hell Lord for a while, he glanced at it casually, and found that there were many famous demons on the list.

Examples include Setolak, the lord of the Crimson Universe, who celebrates violence and killing, and Zatanos, an ancient elemental demon...... These powerful beings, who once cried the tide of time, are now the number one targets of the Templar mages - and of course the average person is not qualified to face them.

Sean gently ticked Mephisto's quest, he looked at Mandalay Mage and Mordo, and smiled slightly, "It's not bad to make a cameo appearance as a witcher once in a while." ”
