Chapter 122: Vampires and Werewolves
As a publicly-funded student at the First University, although Zheng Qing has not been in contact with the wizarding world for a long time, it does not mean that he knows nothing about this world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
By reading the Encyclopedia of the Wizarding World, Zheng Qing can get to know many groups that are actually very unfamiliar.
Like vampires and werewolves.
As two of the most famous races of the Lunar Council, every formally educated wizard is required to have the necessary knowledge of these two creatures.
A wizard may not be good at concocting complex potions, or not proficient in the thirteen techniques of stacking runes, but they must know the taboos and hobbies of werewolves or vampires, and be familiar with the territory of these creatures under the moon.
This will go a long way in keeping the wizard safe when walking outside.
Because there is a member of a famous vampire family in the class, and even more because there is a blood and werewolf hybrid in the dormitory. For the safety of his own life, Zheng Qing made up for the relevant knowledge of these two races a while ago.
For example, Zheng Qing knew that vampires' territories were mainly concentrated in the Balkans, Great Britain Island, and the coastal areas of North America, while werewolves' territories were mainly concentrated on the banks of the Rhine, the Mongolian Plateau, and the Great Lakes-Mississippi Valley.
In addition, Zheng Qing also knew that werewolves and vampires were active in the wizarding world as a family unit, and their groups were very tightly organized.
A regular vampire family typically consists of a parent, several older elders, a small number of vampire cubs, and a large number of blood servants.
As creatures that believe in blood, vampires determine their status in the family by analyzing the amount of raw blood in their bodies and the degree of purity of their blood. The vampire with the most abundant blood and the purest blood is the natural patriarch of the family, and the vampire with enough original blood but not pure blood can only act as the elder of the family, and the vampire who walks the wizarding world every day is usually the same two identities.
As for the young, pure-blooded vampire cubs, they are often ordered by their elders to stay in the family castle because of their poor self-control. In fact, the vast majority of half-bloods in the wizarding world are caused by these out-of-control young cubs.
Vampires also have a Blood Council separate from the Moonless Council - which, according to the history of letters, is older than the Moonless Council - and the members of the Blood Council are the heads of the various vampire families.
Through a tight top-down organization, the vampires have a combat power far superior to that of other sublunar creatures, thus establishing their identity as the first race under the moon.
And werewolves also have their own unique organizational form.
Normally, a werewolf family consists of a head wolf, several she-wolves, and a varying number of werewolf pups. The head wolf, known as 'Orf', is responsible for the safety of the entire werewolf family, and the she-wolf is the spouse of the head wolf, who acts as the hunter of the clan, and is responsible for hunting down demons and any enemies who encroach on the clan's territory.
The wolf cubs will take refuge in the family under a certain age, and will be expelled by the head wolf when they are above a certain age. The wolf cub who has been expelled from the house can either find his mate and form a new werewolf family, or he can only wander between different werewolf territories and become a shameful lone wolf.
Lone wolves are not protected by the Werewolf Code.
Because of this brutal mode of survival, werewolves are often associated with a cruel and ruthless image in the minds of wizards.
Even in the Moonless Council, many races are not particularly fond of these violence-loving lunatics.
Zheng Qing looked at the wolf cub of the Taylor family in front of him, and a large pile of information flashed in his mind.
Compared to other werewolf families, the Taylor family's fame is a bit louder in the wizarding world.
Not because of the strength of this family.
It's because the family is trying to change the werewolf traditions.
In this werewolf territory located in a valley somewhere in Quebec, there are many adult werewolf elders in addition to the head wolf, the she-wolf, and the wolf cub!
The head wolf of the Taylor family allows the adult werewolf to remain in the family - and it is even rumored that the lone werewolf patriarch also promotes monogamy within the family.
All kinds of behaviors have made the Taylor family bear the title of 'rebellious'.
It is said that the only reason why the Werewolf Court did not completely reject this family was that the three wolf kings intended to ignore the destruction of this family in the future civil strife.
Many werewolves are convinced that the collapse of the Taylor family is a matter of time before they are under the pressure of a strong historical tradition.
Now, the members of this rebellious family have been admitted to the Alpha Academy, which pays the most attention to bloodline inheritance in First University, does it mean that First University's stance on werewolves has changed?
Zheng Qing rolled the comment article in the "Beta Town Post" in his heart, and couldn't help but take a serious look at the member of the Taylor family in front of him.
He has short black hair, dark green eyes, a light complexion, and a stout figure.
The most striking thing is his ten fingers.
On each finger, there is a sparkling magic ring.
Opal, moonstone, lapis lazuli, obsidian, cat's eye, crystal, emerald, opal, etc., all kinds of precious and brilliant gemstones are embedded in those rings one after another as if they don't need money.
How much does it cost!
Zheng Qing swallowed his saliva quietly and sighed in his heart, eager to bite off one of the fingers of this Taylor wolf cub.
One piece, just one ring. Not only can his one-year living expenses be solved, but even the follow-up treatment costs of those green elves are not the slightest problem.
"Hello!" Andrew didn't realize the various thoughts that his appearance set off in Zheng Qing's heart, he stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, handed it to the young Jiuyou public scholarship student, and greeted him very politely: "Nice to meet you, my name is Andrew Taylor, I am from Quebec, and I have a chair in the Moonlight Council at home...... Of course, maybe you're not interested in these things. ”
The chair of the council under the moon?
Zheng Qing restrained all the murderous thoughts that had slipped through his mind a few seconds ago, quickly pondered the meaning of this sentence, and stretched out his hand in a friendly manner.
"Hello, my name is ...... As if electrocuted, Zheng Qing's hand and Andrew's hand shook together and quickly bounced back.
The intense tingling sensation made him exclaim.
"Ahh Andrew seemed to have just reacted, raised his hands to show that he did not have the slightest malice, and at the same time looked at him with a guilty face, and said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, the elders in the family are afraid that I will suffer outside, so they gave me a lot of magic tools...... In fact, I can't tell what these things do. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hands and showed Zheng Qing the colorful magic ring on his ten fingers.
"It doesn't matter. Zheng Qing smiled reluctantly and looked at his palm.
At the base of the middle finger of his right hand, a red spot of blood was slowly spreading along the subtle lines between the skin.
