Chapter 337: The Hundred Years War
Time passed second by second, and there were not many words on the letterhead, but Tian Hong looked at it for a long, long time.
This letter was written during the Tang Dynasty.
The letterhead said to the effect that in order to find out the cause of Li Yuanba's death, Ziyang Zhenren crossed the ocean through some clues and first went to the United States, and then to Europe, witnessing the battle between the Holy See and the dark creatures.
Ziyang Zhenren did not participate in the battle, however, when the vampires were hunted down by the Holy See all over the world, Ziyang Zhenren provided countless shelters for vampires, Windsor Castle was just one of them, and the Monster Bar in the United States was also one of them......
Ziyang Zhenren's pursuit seemed to have reached a dead end in the end, and he could no longer find clues except for suspecting that the Holy See was involved in the hunt for Li Yuanba.
The letter did not leave the source of Ziyang Zhenren, but it was mentioned that Ziyang Zhenren broke through the heavens and calculated that Tian Hong would appear in Europe and would appear in Windsor Castle, so he left a letter.
However, in the letters, there was still a lot of information about the Holy See and vampires, especially about the vampire race, which gave Tian Hong a more intuitive understanding of the blood clan.
Similarly, although Ziyang Zhenren did not find direct evidence, he still relied on his own judgment to think that the Holy See was the biggest suspect, and it was for this reason that Ziyang Zhenren helped the Blood Clan and the Holy See to conduct several large-scale battles, and under the protection of Ziyang Zhenren, some Blood Clans spent countless difficult years, and Ziyang Zhenren also established supreme prestige among the Blood Clan.
In fact, the lofty position of Ziyang Zhenren in the British blood clan is far from Tian Hong's imagination, among the British blood clan, Ziyang Zhenren is almost a god-like existence, because with the help of Ziyang Zhenren, the British blood clan has been able to compete with the Holy See for hundreds of years, which is extremely rare in the history of the blood clan.
In the face of the powerful power of the Holy See, the blood clan has always been in a passive defensive state, and more often lives in dark corners and steals life, while the British blood clan, with the royal blood clan as the leader, has been in a strong state for a long time to compete with the Holy See.
Ziyang Zhenren's travels have spread all over the West, leaving behind countless miracles, and some legends are only circulated in the ancient blood clans, and few outsiders know about them.
Ziyang Zhenren also mentioned in his heart the heavenly thunder that killed Li Yuanba, and the clues that Ziyang Zhenren pursued were mainly trying to find the kind of heavenly thunder that could release the kind of heavenly thunder that was different from the east, which was a completely different concept.
In the grievances between the blood clan and the Holy See, Ziyang Zhenren came into contact with Western magic, and it was precisely through the study of Western magic that Ziyang Zhenren determined that the heavenly thunder that made Li Yuanba a child was the so-called power of light in the Holy See......
"Where's my master?" After reading the letter, Tian Hong raised his head and asked.
"In one of the Hundred Years' War we lost contact." Clyde had an angry look on his face.
"The Hundred Years' War?"
"Centennial ......" Clyde glanced at Lina and Garin, and said to a servant, "Take these two gentlemen on a tour." ”
"Yes."
Tian Hong didn't speak, Clyde was right to let Garin and Lina leave, after all, so far, Garin and Lina didn't know anything about the blood clan.
As Tian Hong thought, although Garin and Lina were listening on the side, the more they listened, the more confused they became, and Mr. Clyde arranged for them to visit the castle, naturally asking them to avoid it, which was a reason they didn't understand.
After Garin and Lina were taken away by the servants, there was silence in the hall.
Clyde seems to be brewing something.
Tian Hong didn't speak, just waited patiently, he was used to the way of communicating with the blood clan, maybe because of the immortal life, the blood clan did things slowly, after all, they had enough time to squander.
Fifteen minutes later, Clyde finally spoke.
"In Europe...... The Bloodline wags a war every hundred years, known as the Hundred Years' War......"
From Clyde's mouth, Tian Hong understood the origin of the Hundred Years' War.
Vampires do not call themselves vampires, but usually refer to themselves as Kindreds. For a mortal to become a member of the Blood Clan, he must first go through the process of "first embrace". In other words, he must first be drained of blood by a member of the Bloodline, and then immediately accept the blood from the bloodline to be counterfed by the Bloodline before he can become a newborn Bloodline. The first embrace is often very intense, mixed with fear and ecstasy, which will never be forgotten by the bloodline.
Once you become a member of the Bloodline, you gain an "immortal body", or a "living dead". The Bloodline is a different creature from a human being, and its body tissues are completely changed. Bloodline teeth can be drawn as long as they want, although most of the time they are hidden to disguise their identity. When the BloodClan sucks blood, they will use their own methods to make the wound heal to cover up the traces. The blood of the blood stops beating, but it can also control the beating of its own heart, and the blood in the body flows in a diffuse manner, and because the microvessels are no longer saturated with blood, the skin of the blood is particularly pale. Sometimes, there are even bloody tears when crying. The Bloodline can use the blood in the body to heal itself, and when injured, the blood in the body will concentrate on the wound, and the wound will glow purple red, which will heal quickly.
The Bloodline does not need to eat, but it needs to constantly absorb blood. When the Bloodline feels hungry, they will have a strong thirst for blood, and this desire is as strong as the hunger of humans.
The Bloodline mainly feeds itself by constantly searching for blood, but there is a special existence called "Vampire Hunter", referred to as "Bloodhunt". Most of them are humans who exist to maintain the longevity of the human race and fight against vampires; There are also a few vampires who are tired of the life of the Bloodclan and go to the Blood Hunt.
In fact, human demon hunters evolved from blood hunting, however, demon hunters are not able to form a real threat to the blood clan, and the most threatening to the blood clan are vampires from within, that is, those vampires who are tired of the life of the blood clan and go to the blood hunt.
Because they know each other's habits, vampires often threaten the survival of a blood clan after they become demon hunters.
Generally speaking, the growth period of vampires is about 100 years, that is, the growth time from a vampire who has gained a new support to a vampire with certain abilities is about 100 years, and whenever it reaches a hundred years, a large number of vampire traitors will appear, and the war with these traitors is called the Hundred Years' War......
From Clyde, I learned that as early as a thousand years ago, there was a large-scale Hundred Years War, because among the vampires who defected to the blood hunt at that time, there was a very powerful elder-level vampire, and they colluded with the human demon hunters and the Holy See to launch a fierce strangulation war against the blood clan in London.
In that war, the mortality rate of the blood clan was very high, under the planned hunting of the other party, the blood clan in London lost all the elites, and among them, almost all the vampires at the level of the elder lord were sacrificed, and when the vampires of London were about to die, Ziyang Zhenren took action.
Ziyang Zhenren is not good at fighting, but he is good at arranging formations, he arranged a formation, this formation is very lethal, and those demon hunters with extremely strong combat power disappear into that formation like moths to a fire......
Just when the formation was operating normally and victory was in sight, the other party appeared with strong reinforcements, and no one saw who the other party was, only saw that above the sky of the formation, there was a pure gold carriage galloping between the golden auspicious clouds, and after a burst of golden light, the formation disappeared invisibly, and Ziyang Zhenren also disappeared at the same time.
……
When Clyde finished speaking, Tian Hong's face had turned iron-blue, and a crazy killing intent came out of his body, and some of the servants around him trembled with fear, even Clyde had a look of fear, he couldn't imagine that Mr. Zhang's disciple would be so powerful.
A thousand years ago, Clyde was already a duke-level vampire, he had experienced the brutal Hundred Years' War, and he had also seen Ziyang Zhenren, in his eyes, Ziyang Zhenren was a terrifyingly fragile person, but he was also a formidable figure.
In Clyde's eyes, Ziyang Zhenren itself has no combat power, but he has the power to turn decay into magic, and some stones and trees that seem to have no regularity can immediately burst out with terrifying power as long as they pass through his hands.
The vampires of London can be said to respect Ziyang Zhenren like a god, and even after a thousand years, vampires still have a look of reverence when they mention Ziyang Zhenren, and even the tablet that Ziyang Zhenren worships in the ancient castle according to the customs of Eastern countries.
If the master knows that he is being offered incense by a group of vampires, he doesn't know what to think?
Inexplicably, Tian Hong's thinking actually diverged, and he couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.
It seems that the master must have predicted that something might happen to him, so he left a letter for him in advance.
Tian Hong suddenly felt a little strange, except for the feeling of being out of control when he heard the news of his master's disappearance at the beginning, he didn't feel the slightest sadness.
Vaguely, Tian Hong had an inexplicable feeling that he believed that his master was alive.
Since the master can predict his own fate, he will naturally be able to predict his own fate, Tian Hong does not believe that the master will not be prepared in the slightest.
……
Perhaps, since the master predicted that he would return, he must have left some clues to find him.
Sure enough, just as Tian Hong was thinking, Clyde had already presented an antique metal box with both hands.
"What is this?"
"This is the notebook that Mr. Zhang left behind." Clyde said respectfully.
"Notebook?"
Tian Hong took the metal box and opened it with a puzzled face, the metal box was also blessed with the formation, and there were some silk books in the box, a thick stack.
After just a brief tour, Tian Hong has already figured out the content of these notebooks, which are equivalent to a travelogue, mainly recording the stories of Ziyang Zhenren's travels in Western countries, in addition to the description of some landscapes and customs, mainly recording the European wars of faith, from the Crucifixion to the Holy See's pursuit of dark creatures......
It can be said that this is an exhaustive historical record of European religions.
In it, there are also some research experiences of formations, and it can be seen from the notebook that Ziyang Zhenren at this time has rarely dabbled in alchemy and refining, mainly studying formations.
Tian Hong judged that the master traveled across the ocean alone to find himself, probably in order to protect his own safety, so he was obsessed with the study of the formation.
"What clues did you have to find the master?" Tian Hong put away the metal box and letterhead, he believed that in the past thousand years, Clyde and they must have been trying to find a master, which is equivalent to humans, vampires are more loyal.
"We've been looking for a long time, but unfortunately, there has been no news, but recently we have a clue......
"Say!"
"Now it's time for the Hundred Years' War again, and the elder who disappeared with Mr. Zhang last time actually appeared." Clyde had a fierce expression on his face, and it was obvious that he hated the elder to the core.
"He disappeared for a thousand years and reappeared?"
"Yes."
"Where is he?" Tian Hong's face showed a hint of fierce murderous intent, and the air in the living room seemed to have dropped a few degrees suddenly.
"They ......"
"Boom!"
Just before Clyde's words fell, suddenly, there was a loud noise, as if the ground was shaking, the living room shook, staring at the huge gilded chandelier was also shaking, and crazy killing machines filled every inch of space, and the vampires in the hall suddenly changed color, and every vampire was like a great enemy......
