Chapter 1 Bone Piano
Bone harp
The wind outside the window has been howling for thousands of years, carrying snow particles and knocking on the window, and the Demon Party in the extreme north has chosen this place as its territory, because it is more suitable for the survival of the blood clan. The winter days are long and cold, but the summer days are very short and cool, and the Bloodline world wrapped in a huge barrier blocks the sunlight that can kill the Bloodline. The Demon Party, which is already in the far north, and this is the northern edge of the Demon Party-Ales Military Academy, a military academy founded by the Ales family, who rule the Demon Party, is also the only fast track in the Demon Party that allows the lower blood clans to enter the political world, of course, the training here is extremely strict, and the mortality rate is also very high, not everyone is willing to enter a better world through this channel.
There are two beds in the not too big bedroom, which is neat and tidy, and it doesn't look like it's inhabited, and the furnishings are extremely simple, and the simplicity doesn't look like the residence of two women. There is a woman reclining on the single bed on the left-hand side, a dark blue military uniform is slightly loose because of the lack of belt constraints, the brown leather belt is folded in two and put aside, the military hat just covers the buckle of the belt, and a pair of black military boots are also neatly placed under the bed, she can still keep the military uniform meticulous by leaning on the bed in such a lazy posture, but the chestnut hair is a little messy without a tie, and it is casually on her shoulders, she moved the curtain slightly, letting the outside light come in a little, so illuminating her face, and a delicate little face, pale and slightly transparent skin lined with a pair of aqua blue eyes, not stunning and enchanting, but want people to look at it again, she holds a book in her hand, more precisely, it is an extremely old diary, because these things that can barely be called a diary because of the loss of the binding line only scattered pages, the woman carefully read these yellowed pages, read seriously, and sometimes slightly bend the corners of her mouth to be considered laughing.
Unfortunately, such good times are always short-lived, and there was a quick knock at the door, and the woman stood up and whispered, "Come in." ”
It was a junior student who came in, and gave a military salute respectfully: "Chief Morrow, please go to the dean's office." ”
She rubbed her brow appointingly, "Okay, I see." "What should come is always coming.
Even the folds of the military uniform that have been sorted out have been carefully arranged, the belt around the waist has been tightened by a centimeter, the hair that has been loosened at will has been tied, and even the broken hair around the ears has been tucked away, and the military hat has been pressed, and the long figure is tied into the belt to show the waist, and he walked out of the door.
After knocking on the door three times, I saw a familiar back, since the last inhumane beating, Mo Luo has not seen this familiar back for a year and a half, I thought that I could not see this trembling back for at least two years, if I died in the human world, maybe I would never see it, she didn't want to deliberately commit suicide or defect but if there was a chance, she would not refuse, but it was good to meet, at least there was a reason to commemorate, after all, it was the father who gave birth to her for more than 20 years. Three days ago she passed the final test in the academy and became one of the last four people to survive, and tomorrow she will leave for another place she has only learned from textbooks - the world of humanity.
Respectfully saluted the back of the cold and tall figure who did not have any warmth to her, even if he turned his back to her, she still did not have any slack in her posture, "Subordinates, see your lord." The tone was full of alienation and strangeness, and in perfect compliance with the etiquette of a trainee officer in the military academy to see his superior, it was difficult for anyone to think that it was her father who was standing here, and of course Eliad, the leader of the Demon Party.
The tall figure didn't look back, still holding his hands behind his back.
"Why don't you go back to Ales and wait for me to come to you?" The words of the back figure were still cold, and the simple question made Moro's heart tremble slightly, and Eliade's question always exposed her mind so directly.
"My subordinates don't dare, it's just that there are things in the academy that haven't been handled well, and I can't go back." Moro straightened up, put his hands on his sides, and answered the question with a steady and focused mind.
"You can't? Still unwilling? Obviously, I didn't believe Moreau's prevarication, and the question was more direct.
Mo Luo didn't speak, but his heart trembled a little, obviously acquiescing in his reluctance to go back, if he doesn't go back, didn't you also come to the door?
"The subordinates don't dare." Moro replied ambiguously, not knowing what he didn't dare, but when she looked up and met the cold eyes of Eliade who had turned back, she steadied her gently trembling body, and let it be that there was still an unhealed wound on her back, although it had healed and there was no trace of it at all.
"Take this." A white bone object appeared in the palm of Eliad's left hand and handed it to her.
Mo Luo took it, and looked down to see that it was the bone qin.
One of the 13 Sacred Weapons of the Blood Clan, how to use Eliad has long been taught, feeding it with his own blood will make a creaking sound, making the opponent weak, becoming the master's bone armor, and protecting the master's heart. Although it is the end of the thirteen holy weapons, it is enough to go to the human world.
"The subordinates don't dare." Mo Luo is also direct enough, she understands the value of the holy weapon, once she loses it, it is she who is unlucky, she doesn't need any consideration, she directly holds the bone qin with both hands and presents it.
"Command." Nature is unquestionable.
“…… Be. ”
Maybe you're just looking for a chance to punish me, it doesn't matter. She thought to herself.
"The Thirteen Sacred Artifacts were originally sacred relics of various races, and now they are scattered all over the human realm, this time I went to the human realm and paid attention to the whereabouts of the holy artifacts. And the matter of the Hallows is kept secret. The worry in the same aqua blue eyes was fleeting, returning to the coldness it had not changed for thousands of years.
"What about Roland?"
"Confidentiality."
"But ......" she had a slight doubt, but she didn't say it.
"There's nothing but you have to obey orders." Eliade's voice was still unmistakable.
"Yes."
"Also, the human side has not been very peaceful recently, you should know that the Neutral Party has harassed us more and more frequently on the southeast border, and the human world is the world of the Neutral Party."
"The subordinates understand. If the Neutrals want to raise the Hallows, it is a shortcut, but the Hallows are a shortcut to the strength of any party or bloodline, and their subordinates will do their best. She felt relieved when she finished what she had to say in one breath.
"Go out to practice, the human world is chaotic, be careful yourself." Eliad's voice could not hear emotion, but there was a trace of unexplained emotional fluctuations in her aqua blue eyes.
Mo Luo lowered his eyes and sighed in his heart, forget it, you don't hate me and don't care about me, I'm just a tool in your eyes, why bother to do this again.
In the end, it can only be a trained sentence: "Yes, the subordinates know." ”
Walking to the door, Morolo stopped slightly, wanting to look back at the figure he had been waiting for for a long time, but he didn't have the courage after all.
The pair of aqua blue eyes behind her looked at her slightly stopped, as if they were waiting for something, but they didn't wait after all.
When I returned to the dormitory, it was still empty, so I locked the bedroom door, and the fourth string on the strings of the bone piano on the tip of my index finger slid until my finger was cut, and the blood seeped into the strings and dyed all the fourth strings red, and then the white bone piano began to play wildly, making a terrifying sound, and then broke away from her palm and floated on the palm, and began to split and combine and combine in a disorderly manner, and the sound made was not like the sound of the piano but like grinding teeth, or the sound of bone-breaking, creaking, When she was alone, it sounded a little scary, and after a while, she drilled into it along the gap in her fingers, a very strange feeling, the bone qin drilled into the blood of her whole body, and still made the sound of splicing and dismantling, as if assembling the bones of her whole body, but it didn't hurt, and after a while, it made a clicking sound, and finally quieted down, there was nothing abnormal in the whole body, she moved her limbs and didn't see any sound, thinking that the holy weapon was really a holy weapon, and she didn't see anything unusual when she checked the whole body, It's just that there is a little white bone hook on the crack of the finger, which is very hidden. She touched the little white hook with her thumb, which Eliade had said was where the tail was to be removed. I bent my fingers a little, and I was slightly stiff, but it was fine, and I was finally relieved.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, the rhythmic and polite knock was very recognizable, Mo Luo pulled his hair and opened the door, also dressed in a blue military uniform, the same meticulous, but a handsome and gentle face looked hurried, as if in a hurry, but every time she saw his amber-like eyes, he would be inexplicably relieved, but it was rare for him to have such a look on his face, it was Roland.
If you insist on saying that it is a childhood sweetheart, it's okay, but he is almost three hundred years older than her, she is a childhood plum, and he is probably an old sweetheart.
"Coming back?" She was still so indifferent, as if she didn't see joy or sorrow.
"Hmm. I heard from the instructor that the adults came to look for you, I'm afraid ......" Roland quickly looked at her, but fortunately there were no injuries on her body.
"It's okay, the adults are just afraid that I will cause trouble, it's nothing." She described lightly, looking away as if she wasn't concentrating.
"It's okay." Roland breathed a sigh of relief.
When he looked at her body, Roland's eyes flashed across her fingers, and there was a hint of strangeness, and there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Rest well, we'll leave tomorrow." He patted her on the shoulder as usual, "I'm leaving." ”
It was quiet for a while, the door was opened again, there was no knock, Moro was sitting on the bed and was packing up, and before he could turn around and hear the voice, he knew who it was.
"Morrow, I'm back." The voice is crisp and good, and it is Dolores in the same room. In the same military uniform, the boat-shaped military hat could not suppress her slightly unkempt blonde hair, and even under the constraints of the military uniform, it was easy to remind people that this was a doll that was pampered.
"Hmm." The owner of the voice also knew that Mo Luo was cold, and he didn't care about her coldness, and continued, "I was almost drowned in my father's tears, and while he was happy to say that I could pass the test and go to the human world, and lamented that I could pass the test alive, he pulled me alive and didn't let me go, saying that the human world was dangerous, and it wasn't peaceful recently, so I wanted to ask Lord Eliade......" Her voice stopped abruptly, as if she suddenly remembered something, and then added, "Oh to me, how did I hear Barnett say that you went to the dean's office?" Her words turned so fast that it was almost confusing. Dolores remembers the last time she went to the dean's office, and when she came out, she was covered in blood and unconscious.
"It's okay, Eliad just came to tell me, it's okay." Morrow was accustomed to her leap of thought, and knew that this was the loveliness of her female companion.
"Oh my god, you're fine."
"I'll leave tomorrow, and I'll just reprimand you, how can I really get out with an injury." She smiled wryly, then folded the last piece of clothing and put it in the box.
"That's right." Dolores paused, then turned to see her empty box, "That's what you carry?" ”
"There's really nothing to bring, just bring a few clothes." Morrow turned his head to see Dolores' overstuffed box by the door.
Dolores glanced at her box without embarrassment, and remembered something, "I'm actually a little worried, my father said ......"
"Say what?"
"Father said that the blood clan of the human world kills people without blinking, they are all Centrist people, and the Assama and Hitai are killers, what if we encounter them......"
"Don't worry, you've learned so much in the academy, don't you still have Barnett?"
Dolores was shocked, "How do you know?" ”
"It's kind of obvious." Morrow picked up the diary that was scattered in the drawer.
"Morrow! Are you like that? Dolores was clearly a little unaccustomed to her.
"Okay, I mean it's okay, you even passed the test alive, it's just six months, and this time the number of people is also the largest, Roland said that the human world has just passed the plague period without the previous chaos, we just need to be careful, there will be no problems."
"I'm not the weakest one in the academy, it's not because I'm an illegitimate daughter how I came here, it's not because Barnett saved my life if I can pass the test, it's not because he I'd have died in the quiz field." Dolores sighed.
"Anyway......" Moro tied the almost falling notebook with a strap and put it in his pocket, buckled the box and put it at the door, and before he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Dolores already standing up, "Why are you going?" ”
Dolores smiled sweetly, "I'll go find Barnett!" And he went out in a hurry.
On the second day of departure, there were only four of them, but they were the largest in the history of the Ales Military Academy, and the more people there were, the more chances there would be if they survived. The task is extremely simple, stay in the human world for six months, don't cause trouble, it's not easy to come back alive, life or death, if you can return to the academy after a year, you can graduate, if you can't, you will be removed from the academy as a sacrifice, which is extremely cruel.
The world of the blood clan gives the blood clan the most complete barrier, there is no sunlight, fog all year round, the demon party located in the north is even more windy and snowy, the summer is extremely short, this kind of weather is not suitable for human survival, but it is an excellent environment for the blood clan. The human world is very different, with four seasons and more sunshine, and humans who are both food and a threat to the bloodline.
The world of the Bloods has been highly developed, both in technology and technology, they are too far ahead of the human world, and the human world is still chaotic, almost synonymous with disease and war, this situation has changed in recent years, but they still can't get rid of the stereotype of the Bloods about them. Most of the bloodlines that really wander the human world are new bloods, and even the real bloodlines are closer to the vampires in human mouths. The noble-born bloodlines are reluctant to come to such a world, and although the food is abundant, it is more dangerous. Each party has a large number of blood clans stationed in the human world to maintain the peaceful coexistence of blood clans and human beings.
Mo Luo and his party took a boat from the border of the human world on the outskirts of Ales, the capital of the Demon Party, and from there they took a boat to Mister, which is also a fog capital, which is more suitable for the survival of the blood clan, and it is also a necessary place for the blood clan to train, and there is only one disadvantage for the demon party. On the other hand, although the Secret Party and the Demon Party are both allies and opposites, the Secret Party is very inclusive, so Mister can be regarded as a racial melting pot.
Moro and the others prepared a thick hooded robe to hide their slightly different appearance from humans, and also used it to shield them from the deadly sun.
In the early morning, he was supposed to hide in the cabin and couldn't get out, but Moro put on a black robe and hood and stood in the shadows, unable to see his expression clearly.
Roland stood behind her, "Go back, the sun is coming out." ”
"It doesn't matter, I want to see the sunrise."
"There are some things that shouldn't belong to you, and they shouldn't be chased, just like this sunrise, which has nothing to do with us." His tone was as usual, always sincere and humble.
"What if you spend your whole life chasing your own sunshine?" She asked.
"Your own sunshine?" Roland asked rhetorically, but quickly continued, "Without such a thing, sunlight can only be fatal to the blood clan, and there is no belonging. ”
"If I'm not afraid?"
"Then you'll die."
"I'm not afraid of death." She whispered, but her tone was full of determination, and when she looked up, she saw that the hot red sun broke free from the shackles of the horizon and jumped out of the sea, and the whole sea was as brilliant as gold, bringing light to the world, and it was very spectacular, and the fine dust floating in the air was invisible in the sun, as if all the creatures on the earth were so wanton in the sun, she was fascinated.
"We are a blood race, we are cursed for all our lives, the sun is just a tool to kill us for us, and you should not expect the rest." Roland said the same.
"It's really beautiful." She took a step forward and was about to step out of the shadows, reaching out her hand.
"Be careful." He exclaimed.
As soon as Morrow's fingers touched a little sunlight, a little green smoke came out, and he was grabbed back by Roland, and for a moment he seemed to touch something, but when he looked closely, there was nothing.
"Go back, you're too willful." He put away his doubts and said lightly.
"Capricious? I want to be a sensible, obedient daughter, but what is the result in exchange, it is a whip, since I was a child, I have been told that you are not allowed to do this, you are not allowed to do that, Eliad told me that I am not allowed to enter my mother's room, I am not allowed to ask why, I am not allowed to explain, I was born a blood clan so I have to hide in the dark all my life, there are many things that should not be, I just want to know why there are so many things that should not be done, why all things are not up to me to choose? I can't choose whether I don't have to train tomorrow, I can't choose whether I can come to the academy or not, and I can't choose ...... My future. She looked excited, perhaps infected by the sunrise, but only a moment later her face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, a sense of loss and helplessness after the excitement. Morrow, how can people like us have our own choices? ”
"Why......" she said silently, lowering her head.
Reaching out to brush away the broken hair on her forehead, he took her cold hand, revealed his trademark smile and said softly, "It's okay, everything will be fine, trust me." ”
