Chapter Ninety-Four: The Underground Blood Bank
"Where did the bone goblet come from?"
Hodge was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and said directly: "Father, the name of this white bone wine cup is called the blood cup, which has extraordinary abilities such as purifying blood and melting extraordinary properties into blood wine, and I don't know the specific origin, but what I know is that this white bone wine cup is from the blood clan and should be related to a certain prince of the blood clan." ”
Hodge has always had a guess about the origin of the blood cup, and since he participated in the blood moon party, he has become more certain in his heart.
Plus the Bloodline text content on the ancient mottled gate.
"Blood...... Relic? ”
"Honorable...... King? ”
This made Hodge even more think that the blood cup came from some powerful blood prince.
"A certain Blood Prince?"
Marquis Bach nodded slightly at Hodge's thoughts, and continued gently: "Your guess is actually similar, this magical item comes from one of the thirteen surnames of the Blood Clan [Cappadocia], and is one of the thirteen sacred relics of the Blood Clan left behind in the destruction of Vladimir Castle. ”
"Thirteen Sacred Relics of the Blood Clan?"
Hodge's face changed slightly, this was the second time he had heard this word, the last time was at the Blood Moon gathering within the Blood Clan, and these members of the Blood Clan tried to attack the Gate of Light of the Holy Church Senrikals Cathedral and seize the puppet of one of the thirteen holy relics sealed in it.
And one of the Blood Clan holy relics that these Blood Clan members tried so hard to seize was actually in their own hands?
It's too magical, isn't it...... Hodge was extremely shocked in his heart, his own specialness, I am afraid that it is even more powerful than he imagined.
You must know that the blood cup, one of the thirteen holy relics, is just a treasure behind one of the thirteen mottled doors of Hodge's dark space.
But even so, the personality and power of the blood cup are beyond Hodge's imagination.
Wait a minute...... Thirteen Relics of the Bloodline? Thirteen mottled gates?
Could it be that the thirteen gates correspond to the thirteen sacred relics of the blood clan?
This conjecture was fleeting, and was quickly dismissed by Hodge.
Because the puppet has been sealed in the Gate of Light of Senricars Cathedral, it is naturally impossible to be behind the mottled gate of Hodge.
Moreover, Hodge believed that the Thirteen Holy Relics were the treasures of the Blood Clan, and it was impossible for the Blood Clan to have none of them.
"Father, about this thing......"
For a moment, Hodge didn't know what to say.
After all, there are so many secrets hidden in him.
The mystery of the crossing?
A mysterious dark space?
Thirteen mottled ancient gates?
Silver and white keys?
Blood cup?
A member of the Blood Moon Gathering of the Bloodclan - Edward?
Each piece is a secret.
Especially the mystery of the crossing, this is something he must never say, even if he dies.
Hodge naturally believed in his father, the Marquis of Bach, but once he knew that he was not his son, but the soul of a time-traveler turned around?
Would he still do this to himself?
Hodge didn't know, and Hodge didn't dare to bet, didn't want to.
He is Hodge Dickens, the Marquis of Bach is his father, he lives again, he finally has parents, he will not do things that make his parents sad and painful for himself.
"It's okay, I know you're hiding a lot of secrets, it's inconvenient to say, you can not say it."
The voice of the Marquis of Bach was still gentle, and his pale brown eyes were extremely calm and wise, like a lake.
"However, since you are able to control the blood cup and are very little affected, it means that you are special enough to control the negative effects of the blood cup, which is a good thing."
"The blood cup is a thirteen holy relic, I have also collected a lot of information about it, I will give it to you tomorrow, you can read it carefully, it will be helpful to you."
"Yes, father." Hodge nodded slightly, he naturally would not refuse the kindness of his father, Marquis Bach.
"Hodge, you must know that although the blood clan has suffered heavy losses, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, they are still active in the circle of the extraordinary world, the appearance of the blood clan is similar to that of humans, except for the red eyes, there is almost no difference, in the current era, due to the emergence of hospitals, blood is no longer a scarce thing, many members of the blood clan, will sneak into the hospital blood bank, suck frozen blood."
"Or, in other names, buying blood openly, the underground blood bank in the imperial capital seems to be secretly supported by the blood clan."
The Marquis of Bach explained softly, and said another secret.
"Father, if that's the case, why don't the officials and the church crack down on this underground blood bank?" Hodge learns at the Blood Moon that the destruction of Vladimir's Castle stems from the true God of the Holy Church, the god of light and sun.
The Bloods and the Holy Church are also bitter rivals, with irreconcilable hatreds.
After all, because of the action of that true god, the destruction of a clan of the blood clan was still the strongest clan in the past.
This hatred is unforgettable.
And the church itself does not have a good impression of the vampires who represent the fall, and the action of the true God to purify represents the will of God, which makes many members of the Holy Church, in order to implement the oracle, begin to search for vampires who have fled all over the place.
In this dire situation, why didn't the people of the Holy Church do anything to the vampires of the underground blood bank?
"Light and darkness are interdependent and antagonistic to each other, and even the Holy Church must follow the rules."
"The underground blood bank bears the supply of the blood clan, and also bears the blood supply of many hospitals, once the underground blood bank disappears, the survival of many blood banks will be urgent, causing many hospitals to stop major operations, which is a heavy burden for the empire."
"Similarly, if the underground blood bank is wiped out and the blood clan loses its blood supply through the regular channels, it will be difficult for them to control their madness, and it is very likely that they will take extreme actions and attack the people on a large scale, using cruel and crazy means to seize their blood or turn them into first-time supporters."
"In this way, the empire will face a steady stream of attacks, which the empire will not be able to bear."
"Compared to this, it is not so difficult to accept letting the blood clan absorb the blood of some civilians from relatively formal channels."
Marquis Bach patiently explained.
"I see." Hodge nodded, completely understanding the reason why the Blood Clan dared to survive in the Salom Empire openly, it was obvious that the upper echelons of the Blood Clan had changed their strategy, from the initial flamboyance and radicalism, to calm and calm.
Hodge can imagine the means of the blood clan, using the characteristics of his own immortal species, infiltrating the upper echelons of the empire little by little, infiltrating into important places such as commerce, agriculture, animal husbandry, and industry in the empire, gradually occupying the right to speak, and then establishing an underground blood bank step by step.
They must have taken a relatively covert approach at first, cleverly avoiding the Holy Church's field of vision, and by the time the Holy Church found out that something was wrong, the power of the Blood Clan could not be shaken off.
Once forcibly dealt with the bloodlines hidden in the upper echelons of the empire, it will immediately affect the whole body, causing turmoil throughout the empire.
Attacking the underground blood bank will lead to a strong counterattack from the blood clan.
Neither the Empire nor the Church can take this risk.
No one wants to start another large-scale upheaval......
