Chapter 293: Secret
"Miss Lilith, you're finally here!"
I came to a secret room in the ruins, and as soon as I walked in, the door closed automatically.
Looking away from the door, I looked at Muse and Dacos at the round table and said, "Excuse me, what are you looking for me for?"
Muse smiled and said, "Miss Lilith, you've been recuperating for two whole months, how are you recovering?"
I subconsciously touched my left shoulder and nodded, "Thank you Miss Muse for your concern, my injuries are almost healed."
Muse grimaced, "Miss Lilith, I want to ask you one thing before I make you here."
"What's the matter, you say." My voice.
Muse said, "If I had a conflict with Dakos and someone you knew, would you choose to support and help us?"
I didn't even think about it, nodded and said, "Of course it will help you, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago."
I will repay my kindness, as long as I am not allowed to do anything that is immoral, and other than that, listen to me!"
Muse clapped her hands and smiled, "Very well, Miss Lilith, that's what you want."
"I'm sure you've always had a question, that is, you're a half-vampire just like us now, why don't you have our control and have autonomous consciousness, right?"
"yes, why the hell is that?" I asked.
Muse replied, "We half-vampires assimilate others, and we also have to divide the state, if we bite someone after transforming, it is to completely turn the infected into a puppet controlled by ourselves.
If it is before the transformation, the infected will become a self-aware half-vampire just like himself!"
"Moreover, after assimilation, the infected will also randomly gain the abilities of the vampire family, some can fly, some can have night vision, and some even transform.
And to be able to transform into this kind of ability, it takes a lot of energy for us to give it away."
"I see."
It dawned on me.
"But Miss Lilith, it seems that you have acquired very weak abilities right now, and you can't even do night vision." Muse said.
Dakos on the side coughed and said, "Let's get down to business."
He looked at me, "Miss Lilith, since you just said that you can do anything that is not immoral, then I have something to say.
We need your help to kill someone!"
"Murder?" I was amazed and asked, "Who do you want me to kill?"
"Duke Raymond Harumanck!" Dakos's voice was deep.
"Lord Raymond!"
I was shocked, took a half step back, shook my head, and said, "No, no, he's the Minister of the Kingdom!"
Muse slammed the table, stood up, and said, "Miss Lilith, didn't you say you would help us, why do you regret it now?"
I said, "What you want to kill is the minister of the kingdom, the alchemy family, how can I help you?"
"And why did you kill Lord Raymond, he is the number one alchemist in our kingdom!"
Muse said, "You don't understand, how disgusting that guy is, he's a bad guy!"
I denied it, "No, Lord Raymond and his family have made great contributions to the kingdom's medical cause, saving countless patients who are plagued by diseases, and he is a hero of the kingdom!"
Dakos said slowly, "Then I would like to ask, Miss Lilith, who told you this, have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"That's what the textbooks teach you, right?"
I was speechless for a moment, unable to think of anything to refute.
He said yes, I did see it in a book.
It says that Lord Raymond was a great man, and was written into alchemy textbooks by admirers, and the royal family strongly recommended these biographies and textbooks containing his deeds.
I said, "It's the people around me who say that, and they all say that Mistress Raymond is a great man."
"Then who are the people around you, nobles, or commoners who have no self-assertions, or
He is the dog leg of the Harumanke family?" Dakos glared at me.
He threw a crystal, and when I caught it, he sullenly said, "Put it on your forehead and you'll see the truth!"
I did so, putting the crystal on my forehead, and soon a memory came to mind.
"Ahh
It was a lab with a couple of human kids in it.
No...... Not human children, they have pointed fangs and paper-white skin.
It should be a vampire.
Outside the wide glass window, several human men, wearing white protective suits, sat in front of a pile of sophisticated instruments, observing the situation inside.
The children slammed the glass of the laboratory and screamed at the people outside.
The pot-bellied man in the middle put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "Begin!"
At the sound of an order, the experimenter pressed the button, accompanied by a burst of green light from the laboratory, and behind the glass window, a row of green poisonous gas slowly descended down the vent above.
Under the screams of the children, they were swallowed by poison gas, and their voices gradually became hoarse until they disappeared.
"Did you fail again?"
The pot-bellied man looked at the fallen child with a cold look in his eyes.
"You bastard, you actually used my people to develop chemical weapons!" In the corner of the laboratory, a woman in chains roared.
The woman looked a little familiar, Miss Muse looked like her, but she was a little more mature and charming than Miss Muse, as could be seen by the size of her breasts
"Hehehe, Fendora, we're old friends, do you need to yell at me like that?"
"Bastards, brutes, dog thieves!"
The woman bared her fangs, her body swelled, and a pair of huge bat wings grew out of her back, and the whole person became more and more hideous.
But this situation lasted less than a few seconds, and the woman who pounced on the middle-aged man was restrained by the iron chain on her body, and then was ruthlessly shocked by the electric current released by the iron chain, and finally changed back to her human form.
She was only one step away from the middle-aged man, but she couldn't reach it, and could only stare at each other fiercely with cannibalistic eyes.
"Raymond, you really deserve to die, you will be punished!"
The middle-aged man named Raymond sneered, his eyes mocking: "I never believed that doing bad things would be retributed, in this world, good people may not have good rewards, just like you, you only deserve to be used as a tool by me!"
"Why are you doing this, these are my people, and you're experimenting on them!" The woman asked.
Raymond replied, "This is also something that cannot be helped, I am for the sake of humanity, and so are my ancestors, when they cooperated with you Remour family to create a terrifying creature, now we have to work together again to create a medicine against it!"
"It's all because of your greed, you want eternal life, but you end up opening Pandora's box and getting out of control.
All of us have become vampires, and you ......," the woman said sadly.
"We? Hehe, aren't we okay now, the Harumanc family has become the most powerful alchemist family in the kingdom, much better than your Remuel family!" Raymond didn't care.
The woman retorted, "No, you just put part of the curse on the innocent, and one day, you will be punished!"
"Hahahaha, it's funny, what qualifications do you have to say this, huh?" Raymond scoffed.
He turned around and commanded several of the experimenters, "Continue the experiment and pull out all the remaining vampires in the cage until antibodies appear!"
"Yes!"
……
……
When the memories were over, I put down the crystal and looked at the Muses in confusion.
"What the hell is this...... What's going on?"
Muse replied, "This is the memory I extracted, my mother's memory, you should know what this crystal is, through it, you can see other people's memories from a third-person perspective!"
"Could this be...... Neumann Crystal!"
I've heard of this crystal, and it's a hybrid magic artifact.
Unlike magic items, which are enchanted items that will become invalid after a few uses, magic weapons are existences that can be used for a long time, and can last for a few decades at a minimum.
Neumann Crystal can extract other people's memories, and is mostly used to detect crimes and steal other people's secrets.
"You see, that pot-bellied guy is what you call your hero, Lord Raymond!" Muse said.
"This ...... How is this possible, Lord Raymond, to experiment with living people?" I was incredulous.
Dacus said, "What is impossible, how do you know that he is a good man when you have never met him?
In this world, there is no good or bad, good or evil, as long as it is beneficial to the present, what is in the past, black can be said to be white, and white can also be said to be black!"
"When the benefits outweigh the negatives, no one will refuse to glorify him!"
I asked, "Who is that woman in this memory?"
"My mother!" Muse said.
"And what's wrong with her?" I asked.
Muse said sadly, "She died, tortured to death, put under the sun, burned alive by the sun, and there was no body!"
With that, she buried her head in Dakos's arms and sobbed.
"When we met her, she was already dying, and we managed to retrieve her memories, but we ......saw it with our own eyes," said Dakos.
"So what the hell is going on?" I asked.
"More than 500 years ago, when we were only human beings, we were most proud of alchemy, and our family could make anything with alchemy, even humans could make it with alchemy," said Dacus.
"Later, we studied immortality with the like-minded Harumanke family, who are also excellent alchemists.
In the beginning, we were all very harmonious, until one day, we created monsters, monsters that we couldn't resist!"
"And then, what's going on?" I asked.
Dakos said, "Then, both of us received the ancestral curse, the punishment from the gods, the Remuel family, all of whom became vampires who were afraid of the sun, and the Harumanc family, through secret arts, transferred the curse to some of the clansmen and ordered them to guard the seal forever.
This ruin was made by our two families at the beginning, and there are many murals and magic items in it, but most of the latter have been stolen by tomb robbers."
"In order to recover the loss, our two families have made great efforts and sacrificed many clansmen to seal the monster that we have created.
We've sealed the monster in a vial, and Muse and I are here for it."
I said, "That'...... Why is Raymond experimenting with you?"
Dakos said angrily, "Because they have discovered the secret of the vampire, the secret of eternal life!"
