Chapter VII
For more than a month, Liu Ti lived in Christopher's house for nothing, and in his spare time he visited the French scenery, and sometimes Christopher invited him to participate in less formal gatherings, and there was no Holy See or any demon exterminator organization to make trouble, and he lived a very comfortable life. He converted a basement of Christopher's house into a laboratory, and the "Zombie Project" he developed with his own hands is already in the implementation stage.
Finally having some free time, he thought about studying the two strange meteorite crystals. But he wasn't busy, because he still had to prepare. It would be strange if he took it out and unlocked the seal on it without being noticed by the president of the Dark Society, then he wouldn't be able to live such a comfortable life. He searched for a long time in the Qiankun bag given to him by Master Lian Feng and the Great Killing Elder before leaving for a long time—but all the treasures they gave him at that time were in it—and found a set of Chaos Great Zhou Heavenly Array. This formation was arranged according to the thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two earth demons, which was originally a good defensive formation, but Liu Lei re-cultivated it and changed it slightly, changing it to a formation that concealed all aura and fluctuations. You can't study it at Christopher's house, it's too dangerous, it's easy for the old fox to find out, or go out. Liu Lei said hello to the housekeeper and went out, asked the driver to send him to the city and sent him to drive back. Liu Lei found a hotel and opened a room, told the waiter not to let him come in, and then closed the door in the waiter's strange eyes.
He first placed a ban on the door of the room, and then walked into the room and laid five defensive arrays and seven magic traps inside and out. After everything was arranged, he moved the bed and furniture out of the bedroom, revealing an open space, and he laid out a "revised" version of the Chaos Great Zhou Tian Array, sitting cross-legged in the formation and launching the Great Array.
Taking out a slightly smaller piece of crystal, Liu Lei probed the Yuan Shen into it, and the crystal was pure, and the original terrifying life form could no longer find a trace. He spewed out three flavors of true fire with both hands to melt the crystals, and then opened his mouth to spew out the "Tianjing Sword" to re-smelt the sword body, and then melted the crystal melt into the sword body, and the two slowly fused. Liu Lei's hand continued to spew out three flavors of true fire, the re-smelting of the "Tianjing Sword" had reached the last moment, and finally Liu Lei's Yuan Shen was shocked, and the smelting was finally completed! Immediately after that, a huge energy poured from the new "Tianjing Sword" into Liu Lei's golden pill, and the re-smelted "Pill Sword" suddenly swelled up extremely, and finally burst open when it swelled to the size of a football, turning into a beam of green mist around his body. Liu Lei was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't know how long it would take to reach the Dacheng "Qi Sword" realm, but with the help of the powerful energy of the meteorite crystal, he broke through in one fell swoop! The energy that came from the Qi Sword made him feel refreshed when he had been using the Three Flavors True Fire for a long time and had consumed a lot of money.
He walked around the city for a while, preparing to return to the old mage the next day. In the evening, he suddenly remembered the "if" bar, so he found a small bar with a nice atmosphere and had a few drinks. Sure enough, it is a world-famous romantic capital and the hometown of red wine, and any bar you can find has a good atmosphere, and the red wine is also authentic. Like in the "if" bar, he drank alone until late at night and went back a little drunk.
He didn't want to walk for a while, but he found a fact that he had to face: he was lost. He didn't know [***] language, and found a few people to ask for directions, and they were very enthusiastic, but the language was not clear, and he was helpless. He turned around and turned into a small alley, and was about to turn and walk back, when a man flashed out of the darkness: a black top hat, a black gown with gold filigree, and a cloak with gold trim. This dress made Liu Lei feel a sense of déjà vu, and the man said to Liu Lei: "Friend, do you want to have the eternal and unquenchable fire of life, do you want to have the terrifying power that makes the night tremble, come, come with us, join the blood club, you may have all this!" Liu Lei was dumbfounded for a while, no wonder his clothes made him feel a sense of déjà vu, this was simply a medieval vampire dress, this person seemed to be an admirer of the blood clan, and he also organized a club, anyway, he couldn't find his way back now, this person could actually speak in English, so let's go and see it with him. Seeing Liu Lei nodding, the man turned around and led the way in front, signaling Liu Lei to follow.
Follow the imposter vampire through the dark alley for half an hour to an abandoned warehouse. The man took Liu Ti in, the lights inside were dim, and there were already a lot of people gathered, he motioned for him to find a random place to sit down, and he started immediately. A platform was erected in the middle of the warehouse, on which stood a person, pale, neatly dressed, with a clean beard and nails, talking loudly, although Liu Lei could not understand it, but he felt his tone of voice and excitement, and guessed that he was probably reciting some hymns of the blood clan. The man who had brought Liu Ti to the stage and whispered a few words to him, and the man on the stage suddenly said in English: "We have a new member joining us today." He pointed his finger like Liu Lei, everyone turned to look at him, Liu Lei's polite smile, this genuine blood smile immediately won everyone's favor, and the person on the stage continued: "He is British, let's communicate in English today to show that we welcome him!"
Then there were some strange rituals, and even Liu Lei, the real blood clan, didn't know, and it was really hard for them to figure out how to think of it. In the end, someone pushed out a food cart with a large bucket on it, and when the lid was lifted, it was full of buckets of blood - Liu Lei was moved for the first time tonight. The person standing on the stage took the lead in taking out the cup and scooping out a cup of blood from the bucket, holding it high in his hand and shouting: "Eternal life!" All the people walked to the side of the bucket and took a cup of blood, held it up like that person, and kept shouting: "Eternal life! Eternal life! Eternal life...... and then drank it together, Liu Lei smelled that the blood was mixed with some ingredients similar to psychedelic drugs, which should be a psychotropic drug. Gradually, under the influence of the drug, people began to delirious, fantasizing that they were immortal bloods. Medieval dance music reverberates through the dilapidated warehouse, where people hug each other in pairs and dance like they are stepping on cotton.
Looking at these people who had fallen into the illusion, Liu Lei suddenly felt an indescribable anguish: Eternal life, eternal life again! Chinese monks have cultivated for thousands of years for eternal life, the old man did not hesitate to study necromantic magic for the sake of eternal life, and he himself became a vampire for eternal life. What is the use of eternal life? I can't find a trace of romance in this world-famous romantic capital, is this what I want to live forever? No, it shouldn't be like this, how did it become like this?
None of the people who were delirious noticed that Liu Lei had left, and although these people behind them had to rely on medicine to get the "eternal life" they had always wanted for a short time, they were happy. And I have been in this state of "eternal life" for a long time, and I may even be in this state forever, but why am I not happy?
No longer had the happy mood of the "air sword" when it was completed, and he was depressed and returned to Christopher's house two days later. The butler told him that the old mage was looking for him. When he came to Christopher's study, he knocked on the door and entered, and the old mage asked him to sit down without asking him what he was doing. Liu Lei sat on the sofa next to the desk and asked him, "What are you looking for me?" The old mage took off his glasses and looked at him for a while before he spoke: "How are you doing here?" Seeing the old mage Gu Zuoyan him, Liu Lei understood a little in his heart, and he replied with a slight smile: "It's not bad, we can also share weal and bene, if there is anything, you can just say it." Christopher was a little embarrassed, he walked out from behind the desk, sat down opposite Liu Lei, and said: "I think you probably know the structure of the Holy See, the supreme leader is the Pope, and there are twelve cardinal archbishops below, and then there are some other clergy. The three Templars under the Pope's direct command, below them were the twelve Golden Knights, followed by a group of Silver Knights and Bronze Knights. In addition, there was a large crusade under the command of the Legion, who served directly to the Pope, and he had three deputy commanders, each of whom had three captains...... But you don't know much about the Dark Society, do you?" Liu Lei nodded, and Christopher continued: "Of course, the Supreme Commander is the president, and there are twelve councillors below the president, and then there are forty-eight executive councilors, and below are ordinary councilors, and there is no limit to the number of people. He glanced at Liu Lei, who continued with him. "You see, we're having some problems right now, and even number of councillors often have problems when voting, so we decided to add an additional councillor. Originally, as long as you can do the standing meeting, everyone's strength is about the same, it depends on whose credit is greater, last time you helped me get back the meteorite crystal, everyone is very satisfied with me, and the president is also very happy, and it won't be long before I will be the thirteenth councillor. Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Lei eagerly, "Oh, then it's time to congratulate you, let's have a treat!" Liu Lei decided to continue pretending to be stupid.
"Liu!" the old mage shouted angrily: "Don't avoid it, you also saw it when you were at the airport, my subordinates are all a bunch of waste, I just became a councillor and I am weak, and I will be rectified." Liu, can you help me?" Liu Ti was silent at Christopher's expectant eyes, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "You know that I only like to live at ease, and the fight here is really not suitable for my ......" "At ease?" Christopher interrupted him: "Do you think you can still live a free life now?" snatching the meteorite crystal from Hackman and the others, killing the famous hunters ranked first and seventh on the hunter list, can you go back to your old life?" "But ......"" Forget it, why should there be three precepts in the dark world? Because in this light world we are weak, and we have to do this in order to survive. Liu, think about it, for those low-level werewolves who were thrown into the fire just after birth, for those last blood clans who had never drunk human blood but were nailed to death by a stake, and for hundreds of other dark creatures like you and me who lived in the shadows of high-rise buildings in this modern city, Liu, don't you think that you have great power, you don't have to worry about survival today, you shouldn't do something for these compatriots?" "But" Liu said bitterly: "Have you forgotten that you and I were once human beings!" We don't compete with humans for anything, the Bloodline doesn't have to live on human blood, werewolves are not born with a thirst for killing, and the study of dark mages can be used for the right path even if it is terrifying. Why is it that after so many years of religious liberation, we still do not get people's understanding? They are still deceived by the illusion created by the Holy See. As long as we live a normal life like them, we don't have to worry about hunting and killing, and we can even help them do some jobs that ordinary people can't do...... How is it?" Liu Lei held his nose with his hand and thought for a long time before raising his head: "I have a condition. "You say!" Liu Lei suddenly smiled strangely: "I want you in the vineyard and winery in France." "How can it be done!" exclaimed the old fox, "it was then my life, and with them my party was so popular in the social circles of Paris, and that so many glamorous ladies came and went to my villa...... No, absolutely not!" "Don't you think that people in high positions should do more for our compatriots......"
In order to comfort the old mage who had lost a piece of his heart, Liu Lei promised to let him have another party before the wine shop was assigned to his name. Three days before the meeting, the old master actually called a professional tailor to make a dress for the party. In Liu Lei's surprised inquiry, the old mage who still regretted that he shouldn't have shown off in front of Liu Lei said angrily: "In memory of my baby." Liu Lei vomited with a "vomit".
