Chapter 227: Arriving in the City of Nadora
After Ryan and his party dealt with the vampires in Kochi Town, they set out on the road to the vampire Dracula's manor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Along the way, Long Cheng asked this and that. Ryan said: "Dragon City, Puth, and all of you must remember what happened last night, and when this kind of thing happens to you, will you sacrifice your ego to righteousness like Sophia." Maybe it's not that you're becoming a vampire, maybe it's about making you decide between what is right and what is wrong, and I hope you can do the same. ”
Long Cheng said, "Well, I will definitely not forget what you said, Master Lane. ”
Harvin said, "Master Lane, is that first-embraced blood a kind of blood that can be mutated? I mean when it merges into the blood of the human body. ”
Ryan said: "As far as I know, the blood of the first embrace is the essence blood refined by vampires, which is generally gathered in the heart of vampires, and is the source of vampire's magic and power. A vampire with great strength will of course have more essence blood capacity, and the magic power he wields will be stronger. You said that the blood of the first embrace is a kind of blood that can cause mutations, which is also true, after it is integrated into the human blood through the blood vessels, it will change the genes of the human blood, and finally reach the heart, making humans become vampires. ”
As they walked and walked, they listened to Ryan's words, and he added, "Many people think that as long as the blood is sucked by a vampire, the person who is sucked will become a vampire, which is not true. I know from the records of the old demon hunters that people who have been consumed by vampires may die, but they will not become vampires. If a vampire intends to turn a human into a vampire, he must give his own blood to the other person. The person being consumed receives the blood of the person who is being sucked, and the two bloods are fused to become a vampire. This phenomenon of blood fusion will bring a completely magical sensation to the person being consumed, and this process is called the 'first embrace'. After the initial possession, the sucked becomes the descendant of the sucker, and according to the precepts of the Esoteric Party, vampires cannot develop their own descendants at will, and a vampire must be held accountable for the actions of his descendants. ”
At this moment, three fast horses galloped from behind, rushed straight to them, and when the leader saw Lane, he immediately rushed off his horse and saluted: "Marquis of Lane." I'm finally catching up with you. ”
"You're the Guards of Canossa City?" Ryan asked, recognizing from his uniform, "What's going on in Canossa City?"
The guard said, "Nothing happened in Canossa, but bad news has come from several other major cities, especially the cities close to the Western Road where you are going, vampires have appeared one after another, and many people have suffered from it, and countless deaths and injuries have been made. When Her Majesty learned of this, she had recruited many demon hunters to go to the major cities where there were vampires, firstly to eliminate these vampires who came out to do evil, and secondly, to protect the people and maintain the stability of the place. Oh, by the way, this is the letter that Your Majesty asked me to hand over to you, Mr. Marquis. As he spoke, he took the letter from his bosom and handed it to Ryan.
After Lane took the letter, after reading it, he said to him: "If you reply to Her Majesty, you will say that I will complete the task she has given me." ”
The guard said, "Well, then we'll take our leave." With that, he mounted his horse and galloped away with the other two guards.
Jili asked, "Ryan, what does Your Majesty's letter say?"
Ryan said: "The mission is the same, but as I thought, if we encounter vampires on the way, we must get rid of them, the most important is the vampire Dracula, I don't think it is so easy to deal with." ”
Captain Kibula looked at the front and said, "Marquis Lane, the city of Nadora is in front, it seems that we are going to stay overnight in the city of Nadora tonight." ”
Ryan said: "Well, the city of Nadora is a big city in the West, and over the years, many big merchants have traded between here and Canossa City. ”
"yes, I haven't been here for six years. But when it comes to big cities, Ryan, it is said that there are more than one or two vampires in big cities, and they are quite strong. ”
Ryan accepted the letter and said, "Yes." There will be a Blood Prince in each city, and this title has nothing to do with the royal family, and it doesn't have to be a man. The Prince is the leader of all the Bloodlines in the city and the towns under his jurisdiction, commonly known as the Prince of So-and-so City, and is in charge of all the vampire members in his jurisdiction, just like the mayor of our human city.
In order to avoid rebellions and rebellions by internal traitors, the Bloods severely broke the commandment of escapism, so they set up a responsible ruler in each city from then on. The prince is also usually a senior prince, and his main job is to uphold the precepts and traditions of the jurisdiction. He is the only one in his realm who has the power to reproduce the descendants of the Bloodline, and the creation of new offspring by the Bloodline under his jurisdiction must be approved by him. The Prince is assisted by the Senate in his jurisdiction, whose members advise and quietly oversee the Prince's power, and usually support the Prince as long as he can uphold the traditions that have been latent for millennia. But of course, the elders who can participate in the Senate must be sophisticated and calculating.
In addition, as long as there are foreign blood families entering the territory, they must be subject to the control of the Prince. The Prince may order fasting in some or all of the Bloodlines in his realm on the pretext of maintaining seclusion. While the Prince cannot arbitrarily kill a member of the Bloodline, there are still some Princes who abuse their power to hire Bloodline hunters. In the end, the prince had a good chance of advancing his position in the political structure of the Camarilla (secret party). ”
Jili said: "But Ryan, in the city of Nadora, no more than in the town of Kochi, it is impossible to get all the citizens to gather in the square, because there are too many people in the metropolis, and even if something happens, we are too few people to run away." ”
Ryan also knew this, and said: "Yes, so I have to go to the garrison of this city, I remember that this is the garrison of General Culmon, and I will ask him, the corps commander, to mobilize the army to step up patrols, and leave it to you to do it, an earl goes to him, he should not refuse, and besides, he is also a general who knows the stakes." ”
Jili said: "Well, no problem, leave it to me, how to say that I still have a little friendship with him." ”
Ryan added, "After entering the city, the rest of the people went to inquire about the vampires in the city, and then met in the central square at dinner time to report back to me. Captain Kibula, contact the scouts who are monitoring Dracula's manor, I want to know what's going on. ”
Captain Kibra said, "Well, okay, I'll do it right away." ”
