Chapter 764: The Mystery of the Vampire
"Wait a minute, both of you." Adile, the deacon of the Marquises, was responsible for managing all kinds of general affairs. So when it comes to any situation, he won't be silent like a normal servant. Especially when there is a very important piece of information to be confirmed. "The two of them mentioned that last night's invaders were the vampire True Ancestor, Hubert Berger and his clan. Are you sure? β
"Well, didn't my sister say just now that Huber is not the Huber of the True Ancestor." The blonde girl tried to clarify.
"No, that's okay. Anyway, it was the vampire invasion of that clan, and then they were repelled by the two, right? β
"Well, I didn't fight back, I was all dead. Unless one of them didn't come in the first place, but as long as there are people who come, nothing can escape. Halumi corrected again.
"Dead, are you sure?" Adil asked cautiously.
"At least we cleaned up for most of the night, not in the middle of the night." Harumi muttered.
"Miss, this matter is very important, so I have to make sure that they are really dead?" Adil asked seriously.
"No, they're all fine, I lied just now. So from today onwards, please live in fear, because they will come back at any time for revenge. Of course, the best thing to do is to leave this home, and you weren't the target in the first place, so why bother losing your life for a dispute that doesn't belong to you. β
Harumi, who was already impatient, spoke the opposite directly. It's just that this contradictory remark certainly confused and irritated Adil. He turned his head to look at someone watching the play, and said unhappily, "Lord Tripwood, perhaps you should teach your apprentice that magicians do not need etiquette. β
The person who eats the melon was suddenly named, and Lin's two eyes were as if they were something. Swallowing the bread in his hand and sucking his finger very infiguratively, Lin said: "If the deacon doesn't want to believe what we say from the beginning, then we can only say what you want to hear, and end this pointless question as soon as possible, isn't it?" β
"Your Excellency, I want to know who you are." Adil snapped.
Lin Ze said lightly: "There is no obligation to answer any questions about your identity, do you want to emphasize this one?" β
For a few days, someone's easy-going, temperless, and at any time he will be complained about by his apprentice, this kind of weak character in the eyes of outsiders, so that he is completely despised by others. Especially those servants from the family of the Grand Duke of Kaveh.
If they stay in that kind of big family, they have already exercised their eyesight and know how to distinguish who can and can't. This is also the reason why Adil dared to be so presumptuous today, but he didn't expect to hit a soft nail.
Just as he was about to argue, Harumi touched the Marquis of Balaam with his elbow and said, "Your butler is not very clever. Do you want to find your grandfather for another one? Otherwise, I don't think he will live long. Maybe in a few days, I will be slaughtered by my teacher like those women. Now he says to turn his face, just turn his face, without any warning, I feel tricky, how did this man become so troublesome. β
In the face of Harumi's intimate conversation of trying to bring the relationship closer, the Marquis of Balan did not react. He just raised his head and glanced at the deacon sent by his grandfather, and then buried his head in his own breakfast and continued to work on his breakfast, ignoring the others.
Halumi didn't think anything bad about such an attitude, but shook his head helplessly and said, "Ah, what a coldness. β
The aristocratic deacon Adil, who originally wanted to fight with reason and unreasonableness, suddenly remembered the deeds of this magician. The part that is too bizarre will not be examined, but the Black Veil Army, which was originally guarding the Marquis of Baran, has died a lot, under the hands of this magician.
Even those women with noble bloodlines dared to do it, and it was hard to imagine what scruples this magician would make him a servant in the eyes of others. Even if he was really a nobleman, even if he was only a low-ranking nobleman, a vassal of the Grand Duke of Kaveh, and the deacons of the duke's family all had corresponding titles, Adil did not think that this identity was a magician who dared to kill the daughter of a nobleman.
Thinking of this, Adil remembered his previous attitude, and couldn't help but shed a large cold sweat behind him. All the things that come to mind are either unspoken or forgotten.
On the contrary, it was Lin, who asked about his apprentice with a strange face. "Am I really so emotionally unstable lately?"
Harumi nodded vigorously and said, "Weird." β
Kaya then nodded as well, saying, "Weird." β
The Marquis of Balan nodded inexplicably, and said, "Weird." β
I blame your sister! What does the one at the end who came to arrange flowers mean? Know you well?
But I would ask this because someone himself is somewhat self-conscious. Since the last Xuanwu Robe incident, he used a box to cut and behead the incarnation of Zhonger in the scope of the Dream Tower, and he really didn't appear anymore. Now the only ones who are chattering next to the Dream Tower are the fat house avatar and the box cut.
And the change that happened to him, in addition to the incarnation of the middle two who really didn't see, was a change in his style of acting. There are some things that, in retrospect, are decisions that would not have been made before; But at the moment, I did it, and there was no sense of disobedience. It is as if when I was studying, I hated heaven and earth, was jealous of evil, killed decisively, and never considered the consequences of doing things.
So when it comes to sword slashing itself, is the second incarnation really gone, or has it returned to itself?
Just when someone was bothered by unanswered doubts, Leonardo, who had also been busy all night, looked at his teacher with adoring eyes and asked, "Teacher, have you mastered the divine power of daylight?" That's why it's easy to defeat vampires, an evil that only exists in the dark. Jesus is above. The boy drew a cross on his chest.
Although it is a very pleasant thing to gain the worship of your own apprentices, it is still necessary to make it clear whether it is right or wrong. If this kid shouts a sun god or something, then he won't be chased and slashed by Fen with a knife. That thing kills the old gods when they see them, and they don't show mercy.
"Leo, we must have the spirit of seeking truth from facts, and do not push all the unexplainable things above the sacred or mysterious. Vampires are afraid of sunlight and are a phenomenon. And what is the reason behind this phenomenon, and whether we can control such a phenomenon after we find out? Sunlight, moonlight, firelight, candlelight, fluorescence, etc., so many kinds of light, what is the difference between them. If we can find this difference, then is there a way to artificially reproduce a certain light. Knowing this, vampires have nothing to fear. β
At first glance, it sounds very simple and easy to understand...... But who can do it! Everyone who was listening shouted wildly in their hearts.
Leonardo didn't like to use magic, but he loved all the answers that answered the 'why'. So he continued, "What the teacher means is that it is not the sanctity of daylight that can defeat the darkness of vampires; Rather, it is something that makes up daylight and can destroy the flesh of vampires. Is that so? β
Lin smiled with satisfaction: "You understand almost, and it is much faster than your two senior sisters." Invisibly, someone took a step towards killing the young man of Frenros, and the eye knives of the two girls' backstabs almost pierced a certain young man, making Leonardo in a cold sweat. But he was unconscious, and continued:
"From the human community, being reborn as a vampire can already be called a transcendent race, but it is different from those who are truly strong. These people seek a level beyond primitive life, and each one has gone his own way, so that each transcendent being is unique. But in order for vampires to be able to easily touch that realm and pass it on in a special way, that is, the first embrace ceremony, they are like inferior transcendent replicas. While possessing unparalleled resilience, bodily functions, and affinity, the fear of sunlight is like maggots that cannot be avoided. β
Someone above didn't care if there was an audience or not, and said, "As for why this is the case, according to the inferences made by my research." Because vampires cannot be born naturally, they can only be created through rituals. And in my eyes, such rituals are more like a contagious disease than magic. And everyone's infection symptoms are different, so there are unconscious blood slaves, as well as vampires with normal human intelligence. Since it can be regarded as a disease, of course, it is necessary to find the source of the disease. βββ
Lin used a whiteboard pen technique in mid-air to show a strange-looking thing. Most people don't know, but Fen knows at a glance that it's some kind of biological virus.
"βThis is what I found, the culprit who mutates ordinary humans into vampires, and I named it the Hemophagovirus. They add a special DNA fragment to the existing human gene sequence, in order to obtain all kinds of extraordinary powers. But this connection happens to be interrupted by a specific wavelength of visible light energy, as if the lock meets the right key. And this special visible light happens to be contained in the composition of sunlight, so it gets the result that vampires will be restrained by sunlight. If this series of coincidences can be seen as the malice of some god. Then I think it makes sense that the vampire is cursed. β
In fact, there are few people who can understand someone's words; Even Leonardo, who asked the question, didn't understand. But to the ears of a connoisseur, Finn is deafening, especially when she's been busy compiling DNA lately. When it comes to the work she is doing, she asks, of course, with concern: "Why is this happening?" Do you have the answer? β
Someone didn't notice the lich's increasingly ugly face, and just looked at himself, saying, "I don't know much about biology. But if you look at it in terms of programming languages, I think the reason should be similar. When each piece of program code is put together without any errors, it is possible that errors may occur that were not originally envisaged. Even in life, the interaction between multiple right decisions and outcomes does not necessarily lead to a happy ending. It is the lack of overall consideration from a higher level that allows the vampire race to inherit individual advantages while also inheriting disasters. β
