Chapter 281: Things from Another World
Maybe it was because of Leo's French and Indian power, or maybe Aisha wanted to talk to someone deep down and relieve the pressure for so long, Aisha did not hide the slightest hint of her experience over the years, and by the time she finished speaking, two hours had passed, and there were four or five more honey wine bottles on the table.
Although, drank a lot of alcohol, but Aisha was not a little drunk, but more and more energetic, this is also one of the characteristics of her body, according to her, drinking can not only make her sober, but also can make her increase strength, and even after drinking that pure alcohol, she can obtain some extraordinary strength in a short period of time, that is, because of this ability, she can be hunted down countless times, safe and sound.
"I've said it, now it's your turn. Aisha put down the wine glass in her hand and glared at Leo with a blank face, her faintly tense muscles showed her thoughts, if Leo couldn't say something that satisfied her, she would make Leo suffer somewhat, after all, she also had enough confidence after a large amount of high mead in her stomach.
Leo didn't care about Aisha's attitude, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know about the family?"
"Clansmen, I guess somewhere I've seen that word. Aisha was stunned, with a thoughtful look on her face, and asked, "How do you pronounce this word in Mares?"
Leo said it again in the Mares, and repeated it in the ancient Mares pronunciation he had learned from the dream world.
Aisha suddenly said, "Ah! I remembered that in the parchment scroll of that temple there was this word, which was the ancient Mares, and it had one more consonant vowel and two endings than the modern Mares. As she spoke, she asked suspiciously, "What is this family?" I was attacked when I found the parchment scroll, and although the parchment was preserved, it was taken by the academy, and I have always been curious about its contents. Does this family have anything to do with me?"
Leo explained, "Clan is actually a broad term for a race, and anyone who is infected by any mysterious force and eventually mutates their bloodline can be called a clan. ”
Aisha was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean that I am a family member, and my body is also infected by some mysterious power. ”
Leo nodded and continued: "But in the dark world, there are many classifications of the clans, according to my understanding, aside from the classification of the clans, it can be roughly divided into three categories, the first category is that it has passively accepted the infection of the mysterious power, unable to control the mutation of the bloodline, and the body has also undergone abnormal changes, and the appearance is like a monster. ”
"Monsters, you mean the monsters in mythical stories?" Aisha was completely captivated by Leo's words.
"Some are, some don't. Leo replied simply, and then continued: "There is another category, which has formed a stable bloodline mutation and can control the alienation of the body, this kind of clan has been divided from the clan category in the dark world and has become a new race different from humans, such as vampires and werewolves. ”
"Vampires, werewolves?" Aisha was completely confused, these two monsters were definitely her childhood fairy tale nightmares, almost all the myths and fairy tales in the Mares Kingdom have these two monsters more or less, who let the legends about these two monsters all come from the Asha County of the Maris Kingdom.
Leo continued, "In addition to the previous two categories, there is also a category called the Divine Dependents, the Divine Families, or the Divine Families, which as the name suggests, are bloodline mutations caused by the influence of the power of the gods, some of which are passively influenced, and some of which are the result of active requests. ”
Aisha took a deep breath, calmed down the turmoil in her heart, and confirmed to Leo, "What you said is not a joke, is it?"
Leo said calmly, "I don't think I'm a person who likes to joke with strangers. ”
Aisha didn't speak, she was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Am I a god family?"
"Why do you think that?" Leo didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
Aisha said in a deep voice, "Because some of the ancient books I have seen depict that the King of the Hill has a temple guard called the Son of Iwa, and their situation is similar to mine. ”
"Yes, you are indeed the son of Iwa. Leo nodded and said: "The Children of Rock are the darlings of the King of the Hill, they were transformed by the King of the Hill himself with divine power, and finally became the strongest church warrior of the King of the Hill, their strength and status are similar to the paladins and judges of the Orthodox Church, and almost all the religious wars launched by the Church of the King of the Hill can see these Children of the Rock." Although you are not a son of Iwa yourself, your ancestors must have someone who is a son of Iwa, and his status is very high, so the divine power he receives is also the purest, and the bloodline mutation is also the most complete, otherwise, it is impossible to make your bloodline completely mutate after so many generations. ”
"No, if I am the Son of Iwa, then I should have a high status in the Church of the Hill King, why am I wanted and arrested?" Aisha said questioningly.
Leo explained: "This involves some secrets of the Church of the King of the Hill, and I don't know exactly what happened, but it has been mentioned from some relevant documents, because of unknown reasons, the King of the Hill, who all betrayed by the Son of Rock, was surrounded and suppressed by the Church of the King of the Hill, so in the current Church of the King of the Hill, there is no such thing as the Son of Rock, and even the name has become taboo, and it is difficult for you to find the relevant content." ”
"How come? How can this be?" Aisha didn't know how to face her situation for a while, although she still had doubts about Leo's words, but in fact, she had already agreed with this statement in her heart, but there were still a few questions that bothered her, so she had to ask, "Mr. Dodd, you just said that the bloodline of the gods needs the power of the gods to mutate, why do I ......"
"You already have the answer, you just didn't pay attention," Leo reminded, "Don't forget to sacrifice the pot." ”
"Sacrificial pot?" Aisha was still a little puzzled.
Leo continued, "While the bloodline of the Children of Iwa requires the influence of the King of the Hill to be awakened and mutated, there is another way to do the same, and that is the Sacrificial Pot. Your luck was that the slaughter was going on around the temple and you happened to be in the temple, and there was still a working sacrificial pot in the temple, and all the conditions were finally completed. The souls of the victims of the slaughter are absorbed by the sacrificial pot and become the foreign force that stimulates your bloodline, and your bloodline is so pure that it is finally perfectly stimulated to become the new Son of the Rock. ”
Hearing that the power to mutate her blood came from the soul of her colleague, Aisha's face became extremely ugly, and she quickly stood up, walked to the wine cabinet, took a new bottle of wine, poured a glass, and swallowed it in one gulp.
After a long exhale, Aisha couldn't help but ask again, "Is there a way to get me back to where I was?"
"As far as I know, bloodline mutations are irreversible. Leo replied truthfully, "However, you can try to control the power in the bloodline, so that this power is blocked when not in use, so that your body should be able to maintain the same normal life as usual." ”
"And this method?" Aisha's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Leo expectantly, and asked, "Do you know this method of controlling the power of the bloodline?"
"I don't know. Leo shook his head and said, "Because I'm not a clan, I don't know much about how clans control bloodlines. ”
Aisha couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on her face, but soon she suddenly thought of something and said, "According to your meaning, as long as you are a clan, it is possible to know the way to control the power of the bloodline, right?"
Leo nodded and said, "I know a Bloodline, she is no different from ordinary people in normal times, but she doesn't like to bask in the sun, but when she exerts her strength, she can become a Bloodline and fight." ”
Aisha is obviously also a very adventurous person, and when she heard about vampires, she did not show fear or disgust, but was full of curiosity, and her curiosity involuntarily shifted to Leo, and she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you a family member?"
"Of course not, I said at the beginning, I'm different from you. Leo did not hide his identity, saying, "I should be considered a wizard." ”
"Wizard?" Aisha asked, looking at Leo curiously, "Is that the kind of wizard who uses a crucible to make potions, lives in the forest, and uses witchcraft to control animals?"
Leo smiled and said, "I can make potions, but not crucibles, after all, the test tubes and pharmaceutical devices used in medical trials are much better than crucibles." As for controlling animals, I'm not good at controlling people, I'm better at controlling people. ”
Aisha was slightly stunned, as if she had thought of something, looked at Leo with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "I was controlled by you just now?"
"Nope. Leo shook his head, and without waiting for the other to relax, added, "I did use witchcraft to influence your spirit, so that you can say more. ”
After knowing that she had been affected by witchcraft just now, Aisha's worries just now disappeared, and now she was more curious, and carefully recalled the situation after meeting Leo, and did not feel anything abnormal at all, which also made her more curious about witchcraft.
"Can you tell me about the Dark World?" After seeing the magical witchcraft, Aisha became more curious about the new world like a newborn baby, and she became sure that Leo had no ill will towards her, so she continued to ask about other things about the mysterious world.
Leo did not hesitate to answer, just like Aisha just told her experience completely, he also carefully talked about the dark world, including the family, the gods, as well as the church, wizards and all other mysterious things, listening to Aisha exclaimed again and again, many times I couldn't help but get up from the sofa, excited to walk around the room.
It's no wonder that Aisha has such a reaction, she herself is a person who likes to explore the mysteries of the world, otherwise, she would not spend money to hire an archaeological team to dig in the wilderness because of a clue, and it will take half a year to dig a lot.
Now, she knows that a mysterious world is hidden around her, and that mysterious world contains countless things that can only be seen in myths and fairy tales, and that mysterious world also hides the true history of the world. This made her completely forget about what happened to her and the dangers that might arise, and her mind was completely focused on exploring a new world, just like the seafaring adventurer who discovered Moissan.
After Leo stopped introducing the dark world, Aisha immediately stood up, saluted Leo very solemnly, and said sincerely: "Thank you very much, if it weren't for you, I might not have known that there was such a wonderful world around me." ”
"You don't have to thank me," Leo said, shaking his hand, "Even without me, it won't be long before you can access the dark world." ”
"Why do you say that?" Aisha wondered.
Leo reminded, "Have you forgotten how you got to Venaya Harbor?"
"You mean......" Aisha immediately realized.
Leo replied in the affirmative, "If I am not bad, the person who saved you and suggested that you come to the port of Venaya is a clan, but I don't know what kind of clan he is. ”
Aisha wondered, "But the problem is that I've been here for almost a year, but I've never met anyone or anything from the dark world, and no one has come to me. ”
"No one is looking for you, but maybe they're watching you in the dark. Leo explained, "You must know that there are enemies of the clans, the night watchmen, the adjudicators of the Orthodox Church, and even some wizards are the enemies of the clans, and in ancient times they hunted and killed them as if they were hunting prey, just as you encountered in the kingdom of Mares. As he spoke, he saw Aisha's face showing panic, and comforted: "Although compared with ancient times, the situation of the clan is relatively better now, as long as you don't get into trouble, even the clan will not be hunted and killed for no reason, and even the night watchman, the sworn enemy of the clan, has begun to accept the clan, so you don't have to worry that someone will suddenly come out to hunt you down." ”
"Why did that person want me to come to Venaya Harbor, does this place have any special meaning for the family?" Aisha asked with a little calming down her nervousness, and then asked suspiciously.
"That's what I want to know. Leo frowned and said, "The port of Vinaya is very strange, it seems to be a shelter for the clans, I have seen many young clans belonging to different ethnic groups walking in groups on the streets, which is not seen anywhere else, I think this is the reason why that person asked you to come to the port of Vinaya." ”
Hearing this, Aisha wanted to say something, but Leo raised his hand to stop her, then stood up, turned his head to the balcony outside the window, and said, "Your Excellency has been listening outside for so long, aren't you going to come in and communicate?"
