Chapter 8: Werewolf Night Attack
France, near a border city in Slovakia.
Emilia looked out the window at the miserable raindrops, and she felt reluctant to give up on this prosperous world.
"Tomorrow will be the day of my own sleep, and this sleep will be 200 years of chaos without seeing the light of day, it's really sad to think about."
But it can't be helped, the rules of the Bloodline are like this.
Two of the three elders must be asleep, and only one of them must preside over the overall situation, and so on and so on until it lasts. This is an explicit provision engraved into the laws of the Dark Bloods.
"According to the rules, when you fall asleep, it will be Grand Elder Marcus who will be awakened instead."
"When did you start this rule?" The woman thought more and more slowly.
"I remembered that since Marcus's younger brother William was imprisoned in the Eternal Sleeping Castle, it was decided by himself, Victor and Marcus. So far, he has gone through ten rotations, and three days later, he will be in his fourth round of sleep. ”
It may not be clear to outsiders why the Bloodline has a rule that seems so 'democratic'.
When they declared it to the outside world, they said that it was to avoid disagreements between the elders, and to be able to unite the races more effectively and make the blood clan stronger.
Is that really the case?
As one of the parties involved, Emilia certainly knows that there is much more to it than that.
The above reasons may be valid, but none of them are the main reason, the real reason is that only after a long period of sleep can they return these Blood Clan Elders to their peak state. This is true both mentally and physically.
"Yes, in short, this is to make their three elders better and continue to live longer."
Although the legend of ordinary people has always believed that the Bloods are immortal, it is true that no vampire has actually died of old age until now.
This has undoubtedly become a strong proof that the blood clan is 'never dead', and even the people below are convinced of it.
But as one of the oldest vampires, Emilia has long known that this is only a beautiful lie.
As early as 1,200 years ago, these ancient first generations of blood had discovered that with the passage of time, their bodily functions gradually failed, although on the surface it seemed to be the same, but the facts are the facts, and it is impossible to deny.
This even caused internal panic at one point.
"When you are able to read the secrets from your blood, you will also have the privilege of knowing the secrets of your own clan."
As for this secret story in the clan, many of the sons and daughters at the bottom thought that it represented a certain qualification, a certain qualification that was recognized by the upper council.
They didn't understand what it meant, and they all thought about it.
The meaning of this ciphertext is actually very simple: when you are able to read the memory information from your blood, it means that you have crossed a threshold and can feel certain changes in detail.
At this time, you can truly realize that you have actually stepped from the prime of life to the old age.
You can feel the decay of your body day by day, and you can only watch death approach, but there is no way but to delay the pace of death by constantly sleeping.
"My mind is getting stiffer and stiffer, is it really old?" Emilia laughed to herself and drank the blood from her glass.
Of course, this is not the case.
It's just that as the time of slumber approaches, this Blood Clan Elder deliberately did it, and it was she who deliberately slowed down the rhythm of her bodily functions, which would cause this phenomenon of 'thinking becoming more and more stiff'.
Otherwise, it would be a very painful thing, just like when Emilia first fell asleep.
I think that at the beginning, because of her inexperience, she directly held a sleep ceremony at her peak.
The profound lesson is really fresh in people's memories - he was directly equivalent to two months of confinement, in the endless claustrophobic silence, moaning for more than sixty days, and then falling into a deep sleep under the active dormancy of his bodily functions.
Emilia shuddered at the thought of that extremely unpleasant experience.
At this time, a commotion came from downstairs, which made her frown and dissatisfied: "These guys are really becoming less and less noble, and they look like they are all wandering...... Forget it, it's a rare party to have, so let them go. ”
This is the home base of the Emilia family, the fief of Arya, one of the three elders of the Blood Council, and the people downstairs have come to witness her sleeping rituals.
At this moment, the beautiful Emilian elder was quite emotional, enjoying the tranquility of being alone on the top of the castle.
But she never expected that a great catastrophe was approaching.
All of a sudden......
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Several huge explosions rang out one after another, and the entire castle was blown up several times.
"Enemy attack!"
"Alert! Go and see how the elders are doing, and the rest of the people will immediately count and fight back for me. ”
"Yes!"
"Chief, I just saw the fire coming from that side, and the enemy should be using rockets."
……
The vampires downstairs were suddenly attacked, and many of them were injured, but except for a limited number of unlucky ghosts who had their heads cut off, the other injured were fine, and they quickly recovered with their racial physique.
Therefore, these vampires did not panic too much, and under the leadership of the surviving leaders, they quickly organized a counterattack.
Bang, bang, bang, bang......
"Hell, it's the Laiken!"
"What, how can there be so many werewolves? Didn't it mean that they were dying? ”
"Oh my God, I can't stand it, they are several times the number of us......"
"Nonsense! Hold me back, and if they rush in, we'll all die!" ”
In the midst of the panicked cries of these vampires, they were unable to stop the enemy's footsteps, and were soon slaughtered.
Of course, they can also be proud, because at least they have a one-to-one exchange ratio.
Stomp stomping,
A series of footsteps rang out from downstairs to up.
Lucien personally took the lead in rushing up, and it was precisely because of this werewolf ancestor's overdoing that this led to the abnormal battle loss rate of the werewolves in the fire fight downstairs.
But Lucien thinks it's all worth it, as long as Emilia is captured alive, no matter how many people die, it's worth it.
Seeing the Laiken clan rushing up downstairs, the noble blood clan elder Emilia was indifferent, showing honor and disgrace, and continued to sit on the chair, only when he glanced at Lucien from the corner of his eye, he sighed in surprise: "It's actually you, I really didn't expect it...... Is it Kraven's problem? ”
Looking at one of the enemies in front of him, Lucien smiled happily: "That's right, it seems that you are really surprised to see that my Lucian is not dead." You guessed it right, it was a scene that Kraven and I teamed up to play for you. You probably don't know it, but he's my cousin! ”
Emilia suddenly realized, no wonder, she felt that something was wrong in the first place: with Kraven's second-rate skills, how could she possibly kill Rucian, the ancestor of the Leken clan?
At that time, she also sighed, thinking that this lucky person had picked up a big bargain and won the title of a blood hero.
"Now it seems that there are any blood clan 'big heroes', hehe......"
On the other side, seeing that this vampire elder was surrounded by heavy surrounds, he could still remain silent, and he was so graceful and luxurious, which made many werewolves sigh.
Some people admired this very much: "It is worthy of being one of the three major elders of vampires, this courage, I don't have to say anything." ”
"That's true, but ...... Why didn't she run away in the first place? ”
"Hehe, of course it's a vampire and no one can satisfy her, so she wants us to explode her Jubei." A very salty and wet tone sounded, and immediately attracted everyone's approval.
"Hahaha, not bad", "That's true......"
……
"Enough!" Lucien roared heavily, interrupting the noise of his men, and said, "Amilia, tell my men, why don't you run away?" ”
The woman raised her head proudly, bitter in her heart: If the old lady is not close to falling asleep and her physical function is seriously declining, where will it be your turn to say cool things here?
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Lucien sneered: "Hmph, I'm too lazy to expose you...... I'm going to tell you the good news, you probably won't die, because I need you to provide me with blood, so you can be a cow in peace from now on. ”
"That's right! I just like your airfield cows. "An untimely little minion came in.
Lucien glared at him fiercely when he heard this, and his heart was annoyed: which bastard has been making trouble!
Being teased by other people's words, Emilia didn't care about it, she glanced at Lucian, and said lightly, "Oh, do I have to do it?" ”
"Yes, it's really you who have to do it at the moment, because only you have the oldest bloodline." After Lucien replied seriously, he waved his big hand: "Take it away." ”
