Chapter 154: Vampire Deeds VIII & IX

Terra Calendar 1590.7.4.

The port of Farro Islands and Tórles.

"Woo-woo-"

The ferry slowly docked in the harbor, the huge hull silently stranded on the pier.

The sound of the ship's engines faded and eventually fell silent, leaving only a faint roar. The hustle and bustle of the harbor contrasts with the silence of the ship, and it all makes for a unique picture.

The sound of the ferry's engine faded and finally stopped.

The gates opened, and passengers lined up in an orderly manner to board the ship, their luggage in their hands, their eyes revealing anticipation and excitement.

Xia Xiu and the four of them were honestly lining up, and the emptiness in the hands of the four of them was in stark contrast to the passengers with too much luggage.

After eliminating John Giovanni, the four of them cancelled their anonymous [financial cards], and then they began to prepare non-stop to rush to the last stop in Xia Xiu's mouth, the Wudu area.

The vampire hunt was a round and round from Oslo via Reykjavik to Tórshavn, the capital of the Faro Islands, and now they are taking a ferry along the North Sea back to the Fog region on the British Isles.

The air on board is filled with the smell of sea water and salt, and the breeze brings a touch of coolness.

Xia Xiu had already arrived on the deck of the ferry at this time, the sea breeze gently blew on his face, the gentle touch brought a hint of coolness, and the breeze gently stroked the blonde hair on his forehead, making them dance, like waves of gold. He lifted a hand above his head and held the black top hat steadily.

An unprovoked throbbing sounded from within him, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, his golden eyes following his spiritual instincts to the source of the throbbing.

The blonde youth's gaze and spiritual perception straddled the bustling crowd of people in the harbor, and then locked firmly on a figure on another ferry.

It was an elegant middle-aged man, dressed in a gray formal suit, wearing a classic gray top hat with a slight tilt back. Paired with a white shirt inside, the neckline is neat, exuding a touch of cleanliness and freshness.

His waistcoat and pants are in gray tones, the waistcoat is moderately cinched, and the pants are slim and comfortable. The overall shape looks delicate and tasteful. He wears a pair of black leather boots with sleek lines that show his attention to detail and dedication to quality. A pair of gray leather gloves are worn on the hands, which adds a delicacy and texture to the overall look.

Finally, he wears a silver-gray silk tie with a delicate texture that outlines his elegance and gentlemanly demeanor.

When he saw this person, Xia Xiu's gaze never looked away, his gaze was fixed on the other party's delicate cane, and at the same time, he subconsciously recalled the other party's various gorgeous nicknames in his mind.

Founder and President of the Mayflower Foundation, King of Financial Street Airdrops, King of Speculation, Daydreamer·····

Lawrence Livermore.

Livermore, who was on the other ferry, had already noticed the presence of the blond youth, and when the other party looked at him, he politely raised his cane.

The cane in his hand was very special, it was a long staff with two snakes around each end and intertwined at the top to form a ring, and in the middle of the ring, a pair of feathers were hung. The whole cane is beautifully shaped, often showing gold and silver brilliance.

【Miracle Creation: Staff of Hermes】

Xia Xiu's golden eyes couldn't help but shrink a little, but a warm smile still appeared on his face, and he politely took off his top hat and took off his hat to Livermore.

Then, without saying anything more, the two turned their backs to each other and walked towards the inside of the ferry.

Livermore ran to Youyang because of Long's affairs, which Xia Xiu was not surprised, what surprised him was that [Staff of Hermes] was actually in the hands of the other party, it was the treasure of Addison and [Financial Street], why did he fall into the hands of the president of the Mayflower Foundation, you know, the official Addison in the previous life hated Mayflower to death······

Xia Xiu has been keenly aware of the dance of his butterfly, and has already made Terra's history begin to deviate from the trajectory of the previous life.

The [Active Mimavirone] that appeared in advance, Livermore came to Youyang, and the [Staff of Hermes] in the other party's hand·····

It seems that it can only muddy the water, but fortunately, the plan has been prepared for more than a year, and the preconditions that should be obtained have also been obtained. Xia Xiu said secretly in his heart.

He must complete the "corner overtaking" at the end of the performance, and only when his strength reaches the standard can he go further on the ladder of heavenly power.

In the first two or three stages of thaumaturgy, the class requirements for the lineage are not too high, and they just rely purely on hardware to fight. But once [the crown] is reached, the importance of the genealogy really comes to the fore.

[Spread of Deeds], [Crown Command], [Crown Blessing], [Mythic Factor], [Aether Self-Anchor]······

There is no pedigree, not a member of a high-class pedigree, and these things above cannot be played by individuals at all.

Xia Xiu has been stuck at the watershed between the third and fourth stages in his previous life, and this stage is also the apex that players can reach, and is nicknamed the 3.5 stage - [Void Crown].

The [crowns] of the high players are all fictitious, non-solidified, easy to collapse by commands, and defective products that are contaminated by the Mi mother virus at every turn.

From the end of the third expansion, to the latest sixth expansion, the whole family of the planner has been greeted, well, in fact, since the game was on the platform, the whole family of the planner has been greeting.

MD, the first expansion was abused as a dog, the second expansion was used as cannon fodder, and the third expansion was finally a little tougher, but the world war in the back was so special······

At that time, as one of the high-level players, and the only player who had reached the top level in the kingdom of heaven, Xia Xiu had been studying history in the game. He unlocked most of the permissions in the Heavenly Library, but some of the core permissions were still locked, and the people in the lineage also decided that he could not break through to the fourth stage.

The official of the game did not make a subsequent explanation, if he had a real official at all.

In fact, at that time, most players played the back, and more or less felt that the game they were playing seemed to be a little bit wrong, and there was only a virtual reality game called "Terra Chronicles" on the market.

At that time, Xia Xiu finally found some interesting information in the game, a so-called "official explanation of the game".

[Alayah rejection syndrome].

——————

Truth is not false, never lie, it will inevitably bring truth:

Because all things originate from one thing, the thinking of one thing can be derived into all things.

This is the strongest power, for it will overcome all that is delicate and penetrate all that is hard.

That's how the world was created.

———————

When Xia Xiu deciphered this information, a trace of extremely absurd conjecture flashed in his heart—[Crown] was true and true, and it must exist.

And the player, is it recognized by the world, or by the ether?

With this doubt, Xia Xiu inquired about Eden, yes, he inquired directly about Eden, without any coercion on Lai, and he went to ask with full action.

Then, in the years that followed, he became a social animal among the social animals of the kingdom of heaven, and was widely engaged in various tasks.

The answer is no, a bunch of work.

Xia Xiu just came to Terra, he can actually feel that Boss Eden seems to know something, his identity as a second or five boy is in the superposition state of Schrödinger, and in order not to be a social animal too early, as well as his "corner overtaking" and ambition, he wants to take a wave outside, and it is too early to enter the heavenly institution as a social animal.

However, he actually didn't have many opportunities to fish, studying in the Deer Academy, systematically learning Terra's extraordinary academic system, taking tasks, running orders, and then participating in the deduction; In order to keep up with Terra's cutting-edge scholarship, every issue of an academic journal is to take a look; For the sake of information and other necessary information, every issue of the Political Times and the Financial Times has to read everything······

Xia Xiu, like in his previous life, has never thrown away the skill of lifelong learning, but has become more serious, a little more serious than when he played extreme sports before.

After more than a year in Terra, the only thing that is better is to live in most of the five-star hotels in Youyang, tsk, he has now raised the architectural aesthetics of Terra to several levels, and the five-star hotels he has stayed in have different architectural styles.

When Xia Xiu, who was full of thoughts, came to the restaurant of the ferry, he saw the trio in the corner, full of delicious food, and he walked towards the trio.

"When the sea breeze blows, have the strange and dangerous thoughts in your mind been cured by the vast ocean?"

When the blonde youth approached, Tours put down the yellow eel fried rice in his hand, and when he saw the golden retriever approaching, his appetite as an "employee" suddenly dropped.

"Keep eating." Xia Xiu pulled out a chair and sat on it casually.

"I'm full."

Turce took the napkin and began to wipe his mouth, to be honest, his immature face put on an adult-like expression, and the foxtail behind him swayed at will, which was really a bit funny.

If it weren't for Xia Xiu's [weakened presence] smeared on him, his appearance would definitely amuse a lot of people.

At this moment, the blonde young man sitting in the chair folded his hands and elbows on the table, and a familiar and warm smile appeared on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next trip to the Fog Capital is our last stop, so I've got a really good plan in place."

"What's the plan?"

Broly, who was usually reticent, rarely asked a question, and for some reason, when the blonde youth in front of him mentioned that he had a very good plan, the Berserker's [Enlightenment] began to beat wildly, as if to remind its master that something dangerous was approaching him.

The word "danger" kept coming out of Broly's heart.

"It's a great plan, I can't say anything about it; Where there is a word, there will be an echo.

So, let's now talk about what can be said in the plan. ”

Xia Xiu's left thumb and index finger were constantly rotating the [Gorgon] worn on his right index finger, and the corners of his mouth outlined a beautiful arc.

"Let's talk about the rest of the vampire armament."

"Vampire Deeds Eight: Garlic

I know that this [deed weakness] may sound a bit earthy and uncharacteristic, but it is the most widely circulated one.

Garlic's weakness as a vampire is a common element derived from vampire lore. In vampire lore, vampires are believed to have an extreme aversion and sensitivity to garlic, and can even be dispelled or harmed by the smell of garlic. The legend has its roots in the ancient legend of the Ario vampire, who was said to run away or get hurt because of the smell of garlic. Therefore, garlic is considered an effective way to fight vampires.

In legend, vampires are believed to be blood-loving undead creatures who haunt the night to injure and suck the blood of humans. Since vampires often appear in human form, it can be difficult to identify them without specific signs. As a result, people started exploring ways to protect themselves from vampires.

Garlic was believed to have the ability to ward off evil spirits in ancient times. It is believed that placing garlic at the door or wearing a necklace of garlic, etc., will deter vampires from approaching. At the same time, it is also believed that vampires hate the smell of garlic, so holding garlic or surrounding themselves with garlic allows vampires to keep their distance. ”

"The weapon that was condensed from this deed is called: [Bloody Iron Maiden]."

"The name of the spirit lodged on the armament is [Barthory Elizabeth]."

"The bearer's name is: Cappadocia Nias."

Speaking of this, a different smile appeared on the corner of the blonde youth's mouth.

"Coincidentally, the name of the owner of another [vampire armament] is: Cappadocia Ruskin."

"This is a brother and sister, and as the elder brother Raskin, he has an armed force called: [Cross Execution]."

"The spirit that resides on the armament is called [Barnabas Corinth]"

"Vampire Deeds Nine: Stakes.

In vampire lore, the stake is considered one of the vampire's weaknesses, especially when it is pierced through the heart. This traditional account can be traced back to multiple sources in the origin and evolution of vampire legends.

A common explanation is that the stake is associated with ancient myths and beliefs. In many cultures, wood is believed to have sacred and purifying powers to fight evil. In the Ario tradition, wood is used to make crosses to fight evil creatures such as vampires. The ancients believed that certain trees had sacred properties and could ward off evil spirits. For example, traditionally, the people of Ariyang believed that the beech was a sacred tree that could be used to fight evil. Therefore, the stakes made of this wood have the power to drive away evil. As a result, the stake is seen as a symbol with the ability to banish and destroy vampires. ”
