Chapter 32: Survival Dependence
Dylan ····· Dylan ····· Wake up......
In a daze, an old voice came from afar. Dylan stretched, sat up, and found himself asleep on a boulder in the valley.
I don't know why, but since absorbing the divine power of Quetzalcoatl, I have become greedy for food and sleep, and all kinds of desires come together. The originally calm brain was disturbed by various thoughts, and finally understood why the Western gods were full of lust in legends, and it turned out that divine power would increase people's desires.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and saw Osborne looking at him kindly. Since agreeing to be his blood relative that day, Osborne has changed as a person, laughing all day long, and rarely even entering the laboratory. And he has to shush himself every day, and he really thinks of himself as his son.
No, I came out to take a nap and found it again.
Seeing Dylan wake up, Oss smiled and said, "Dylan, it's time for dinner." I asked the French court chef to come, and today we will eat French court food. ”
"Okay, thanks. Dylan agreed, and followed him to a restaurant in the colony.
The "Dark Council" is a large dark organization in the United Kingdom, among which Osborne's current stronghold in Northern Ireland is the largest stronghold in the Dark Council other than its headquarters. The entire stronghold is centered around Dunkennon, where the valley is located, and secretly controls many cities in Northern Ireland, such as Lisborne, Ballymena, and Enniskilling.
300 years ago, the British royal family adopted a system of feudalism to govern the country, dividing most of the country into the hands of many forces, including the Dark Council and the Holy See. As a result, the political and military systems of each region are actually controlled by the major powers.
One of the Irish regions is the purpose of the Dark Council because of the sea. Therefore, it attracted many dark creatures such as bloods, werewolves, and wizards to join it. As a direct result, the entire area of Ireland has become the most active place for dark creatures.
As one of the twelve members of the Dark Council, Osborne's status is even higher than that of Isabella's father, "Earl Fairman". During this time, just to satisfy Dylan's belly, Osborne has found famous chefs all over the country, but British chefs are also ····· Hehe.
Today, he actually invited a French court chef to cook French court dishes, and the old man Osborne really had a heart.
At the dinner table, Dylan ate all the palace dishes on the table at the speed of the wind. Then go on the road to a glass of your favorite mead and taste it slowly.
Osborne watched him finish his meal before saying, "Dylan, I'm sorry about Isabella. ”
"Uh, is something happening to Isabella?" Dylan paused.
After Dylan figured out what had happened, he approached Osborne and wanted to take Isabella to the base. Osborne agreed, of course, and immediately sent men to Birmingham day and night, but it turned out to be a step too late.
Osborne said with a heavy face: "They moved faster than I expected, you just left Birmingham on the front foot, and the next night, there was a fire in the city lord's mansion in Birmingham. Fairman burned to death on the spot, and Isabella was nowhere to be found. ”
Dylan frowned and said, "It's good that I ran fast, otherwise I'm afraid there would be a fire even where I live?" But didn't the other nobles care? The Fairman family had no allies in the Empire? Isabella also said that her grandmother was a member of the royal family. ”
"Huh····· The Earl of Sands, a hardcore ally of the Fairman family, was the executor of this operation. Fehlman Jr. didn't seem to have learned his grandfather's tricks at all, and was stabbed by an ally of his own family. And the royal family has also split due to disagreement, and now it is very unpleasant. Osborne smashed his mouth, looking a little unshaven.
Hey····· Dylan let out a long sigh and tilted his head and said, "I have met Earl Fairman at the ball he held to greet me. At that time, the Earl of Fairman was still a well-known figure in the whole of Birmingham, but he didn't expect his family to be ruined in a blink of an eye. It's really unpredictable. ”
Thinking of Fellman, who died unexpectedly, and Isabella, who is now missing, Dylan's heart was a little heavy. The good mood brought by the food also turned yin in an instant.
Seeing that Dylan was so depressed, Osborne persuaded: "Don't think too much, our blood clan, as an immortal species, has infinite life, and in my life, I have experienced countless life and death partings. I have loved ones, I have loved ones, and I have had many enemies. But they're all in the past. Dylan, I'm going to tell you a truth, a truth that has been passed down for a long time among the immortals of our bloodline.
"Your greatest goal in life should be survival, and the only way to survive is strength. In this world, there are many nobles like Fairman, but the one who can really control his own destiny must be a powerful person himself. If Fairman has strong strength, then he doesn't have to worry about his own safety, but unfortunately in this era, wealth is not not the guarantee of his own security, force is. ”
After listening to Osborne's persuasion, Dylan gained an in-depth understanding of the nature of this world and this era. It's really the dark Middle Ages, where the jungle eats the jungle.
Since then, Dylan has become more desperate for his own strength, and he has not forgotten that he has a powerful enemy waiting for him.
Time is flying, and it's spring again.
On this day, Dylan and Maria were comparing martial arts in the valley.
The two stood silently against each other for a moment, then simultaneously spread their bats and burst into the air.
For the Bloods who can fly, the ability to fight in the air is an extremely important part, and the ability to fly is not only the advantage of the Bloodline, but also the basis for escape and life.
At this time, the two of them exchanged blows and flew in mid-air, and each time they collided, they would stir up bursts of sound waves in the air. The fists and feet were intertwined, the bat's wings flew sideways, and it was obviously a physical fight, but when it hit the other party, there was a sound that seemed to be a symphony of gold and iron.
After fighting for a long time, Dylan couldn't help his temper at first, he used the blood energy in his body, and grabbed a handful of golden flames in his right hand and appeared in his palm. After seeing the trajectory of Maria's flight, she threw it hard, and the flames were thrown.
The flames were so fast in the air that they chased after Mary as if they were alive, and they were about to crash into Maria's body in an instant. Seeing the flames that were about to burn on her bat's wings, Maria hurriedly redirected, and she fell in the air, giving way to the blow on her head and feet. Then, he countered back to Dylan with the Wind Blade as well.
In mid-air, the wind blade and the flames clashed with each other and annihilated. The air was rolling and the whole valley was humming loudly.
