Chapter 86: The Origin
El Salvador family land in front of the land.
The moonlight shone on the mottled path, and the shadows of the five people were stretched long.
Salvado's doorman was stunned for a moment.
I got up violently, and I saw the old man walking in the evening and brought back four young people.
When the old man approached, the doorman realized that he was not asleep and dreaming when he was on duty late at night, and hurriedly opened the door.
I made an appointment to meet in an abandoned small theater before, mainly because I couldn't trust foreign hunters.
Although he still can't believe the four unfathomable young people in front of him, when Lu Mingfei and the three of them arrived, he had already invited these three to his house as guests.
It's almost the equivalent of luring a wolf into the house.
There is no need to cover it up at this time, instead of negotiating while feeding mosquitoes in the wild, it is better to go home and talk.
Although his daughter Shaya, Cersei, and granddaughter Su Xiaoqiao have little combat power, his son and grandson Turio have at least inherited some bloodline, which is enough to light up the golden pupil and release the spirit of speech.
During the day, the women of the family were forcibly transferred to a safe place by him, and at this moment, apart from the hired servants and servants, only his son and grandson were hiding in the house in full armor and waiting to move.
"Please." The doorman opened the door, and the old patriarch took Lu Mingfei and the four into the small manor.
His son and grandson are now hiding in the courtyard of this small estate, and he has no intention of killing, but as the head of the family, he must be responsible for the safety of all.
Chu Zihang and Susie walked into the door without taking two steps, and suddenly stood still, their eyes falling on two inconspicuous corners of the courtyard.
Old Patriarch: ......
"Come out, Brother Tulio," Lu Mingfei shouted into a corner, "don't feed the mosquitoes outside at night, come in with us." ”
Old Patriarch: ......
Hell yes.
His son and grandson were trained by him in the Portuguese Special Police Force, one of the most professional and elite anti-terrorist units in Europe.
If Lu Mingfei knew what he was thinking, he would definitely complain about what the Portuguese special police force was, and the school staff of our academy were all retired elites of the Navy SEALs, so every time they recruited, they had to brush up a lot.
"Roger, Turio, come out, they ...... Not an enemy. The old patriarch said.
Roger? Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, thinking that someone from the One Piece set had crossed over.
Seeing Su Xiaoqiao's uncle and Turio coming out of the corner respectively, he realized that "Roger" should be Su Xiaoqiao's uncle, that is, Turio's father's name.
Not to mention, my uncle's rugged beard and majestic height are really a bit like Roger.
"Brother Lu Mingfei? You guys? Turio looked blankly at the three acquaintances in front of him.
A few days ago, he wanted to take Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang to the red light district.
……
in the meeting room.
The reception room was quite spacious, and it was not crowded with seven people.
The maid poured tea for the people in the house, and went out on the orders of the old patriarch.
"Four, if there is no mistake in the entrustment agreement, there should be only one hunter who accepted my commission," the old patriarch turned his gaze to Lu Mingfei, "And I didn't know that Xiaoqiao's friend was also a hunter." ”
He deliberately bit the word friend.
"We are a team of hunters, and it is an excuse to come to Portugal for academic research, but we actually came here in advance to prepare for the mission, but we didn't expect that Xiao Tiannu's family is our employer, which is indeed a coincidence," Lu Mingfei did not change his face, and pointed to Old Tang and introduced, "This is our captain, Ronald Tang." ”
Although this was a plan that had been drawn up before, when he heard Lu Mingfei say this on a formal occasion, Old Tang still felt a lot of pressure.
He is a rookie hybrid who is only famous on the hunter website, how can He De dare to become the "captain" of the elite of the secret party.
But after all, the plan was like this, so he could only pretend to be a big guy and said, "Patriarch of El Salvador, your commission this time is very difficult for us." ”
"How?" The old patriarch already had a guess in his heart.
"According to me, and my ...... According to the results of the team's investigation, your granddaughter's disappearance may have a close relationship with the local Solomonic Temple branch hall," Old Tang said, "and even said an irresponsible guess, I suspect that the branch hall here kidnapped her." ”
Although he had been mentally prepared, the old patriarch's hand still trembled, lowered his eyes to hide the shock in his eyes, and he sighed: "It is worthy of the well-known hunter Ronald Don, there have been rumors on the hunter website before, saying that you actually don't have much strength, and it all depends on luck to become famous and complete a few dangerous big commissions, but now it seems that it is just a rumor from some jealous people." ”
Old Tang was a little embarrassed, and said in his heart that this is really not a rumor, I just relied on luck to get to where I am today.
He is naturally more resistant to those supernatural events, oh, it should be called dragon events now, such as entering the tomb and being affected by the illusion trap, he will not be affected.
Or someone else encounters a mummy or a corpse, he has never encountered it, even if someone attracts dangerous things like zombies or tomb keepers, he will not be hunted down, those gods and ghosts will only bite the original target and not let go.
So some people in the industry also gave him the nickname "Lucky Don".
Of course, you can't say these things to your employer, and no matter how good your luck is, you can't be reassuring.
"Now you should be able to communicate openly and honestly with me," said Old Tang, "you have seen my mission completion record, and I have never missed, so please believe that I want to rescue your granddaughter as much as you do, lest my perfect resume be tarnished." ”
This is a common phrase used by hunters, everyone is a dirty adult, and no one will believe him if he wants to say that he is a messenger of justice, but if he wants to ensure his professional reputation, it seems very reasonable.
"What you found is correct, my granddaughter Amber was indeed kidnapped by Solomon's Temple, but ......," the old patriarch sighed deeply, "to be precise, she was not kidnapped, but betrayed by my granddaughter Elaine. ”
The four of them were stunned.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but confirm: "This Elaine in your mouth is the cousin of the little heavenly girl. ”
"Yes." The old patriarch sighed.
Even Lu Mingfei couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He had envisioned many possibilities, one of which was that Elaine had betrayed her family and joined Solomon's Temple, but he had always felt that the odds of such a thing were very low.
After all, Su Xiaoqiao kept talking about how good her cousin Elaine was, how gentle and kind she was, and Lu Mingfei subconsciously felt that Elaina was unlikely to be a bad person.
Now listen to the old patriarch......
"Ilena was the one who sent Amber to Solomon's Temple, but I was to blame for all this." The old patriarch closed his eyes in pain.
"Grandpa......" Turio's face was tangled.
Lu Mingfei and the four of them glanced at each other, and even Chu Zihang could see a slight doubt in his eyes.
Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that yesterday when Susie teased that he might be regarded by the Salvadoran family as a hope to continue the bloodline, he said a sentence - "Generally speaking, this kind of family with a precarious inheritance will instill in their family members the idea of 'continuing the bloodline at all costs' since childhood." ”
After thinking for a moment, he turned to the old patriarch and asked, "Could it be that it is because you have instilled in your children ideas like "continue the bloodline at any cost" since childhood, which led Elaina astray?" ”
The old patriarch and his children and grandchildren were stunned.
"That's right," the wrinkles on the old patriarch's face huddled together, and he smiled bitterly, "This is a mistake I made, but fate has punished my descendants. ”
Turio opened his mouth to defend his grandfather, but was unable to say anything.
The old patriarch waved his hand, and Leo didn't need to say anything, and immediately began to tell the story:
"Among my children, only the eldest son Roger, and the eldest daughter Tia have inherited the bloodline and can light up the golden eyes. I have told them since I was a child that we are the noble Salvadoran clan, that our ancestors were glorious dragon slayers, that they were the royal family of Thailand and France, and that you are the hope of continuing the bloodline and reviving the family. At that time, I was steadfast in everything I did, believing that I could do whatever it took to continue the dragon's blood of my family, and Roger and Tia were also influenced by me. ”
"Roger is right in front of you right now, and his son Turio and daughter Elaine, who have also inherited dragon blood. My other two daughters, as well as their respective daughters, are ordinary people with weak bloodlines, and they can't even light up their golden eyes, so they can hardly be considered half-bloods. ”
"When Turio and Elaine were younger, I told them the same way I told Roger and Tia, but I was shaken because Roger and Tia had given so much under my influence. I began to wonder if I was really right to sacrifice the happiness of my family now for the sake of future glory? ”
"Later, as I got older, I became more and more shaken, Turio and Elaine grew older, and finally, because of something, I completely regretted what I had done."
When the old patriarch said this, he suddenly paused and turned his head to look at Turio: "Before that incident, this kid didn't run to the red light district every day like he does now, he was originally a hard-working and excellent young man. ”
Turio looked embarrassed.
The old patriarch continued: "Because of that incident, I have given up on continuing the bloodline, and I only hope that my descendants can get their own happiness, even if the family name and glory are cut off, I think it is worth it. ”
"But Elaine, unlike me, may have been influenced by me too much when she was a child, and she didn't understand my remorse, so she quarreled with me, accused me of betraying the glory of my ancestors, and left the family."
"By the time we saw her again, the child had already joined Solomon's Temple," Roger said, clenching his fists, "and it's not just my father's fault, it's my fault, and when she and Turio were young, I also shared my father's philosophy of putting the continuation of the family ahead of the happiness of my children, I ...... Not a good father. ”
As Elaina's father, he has been quite calm, but occasionally he can see mixed pain in his eyes and expressions.
"Daddy......" Turio put a hand on his father's shoulder, and then fell silent.
Lu Mingfei and the four of them looked at each other, helpless against this suddenly low and depressed atmosphere.
They've never experienced anything like that.
Lu Mingfei...... Not to mention, before meeting Tony, no one expected him to do anything - oh, the aunt hoped that he would get into a good university, but not better than her son Lu Mingze, so that she could not only have an account for the money sent by Lu Mingfei's parents, but also raise her eyebrows in front of Giovanni.
Chu Zihang is the son of a super half-blood, and even if he doesn't awaken his bloodline, his tenacious and single-minded character is destined to not be an ordinary person.
Susie...... Her family situation is more special, but she does not have the troubles of continuing the bloodline of the Salvadoran family.
Old Tang is an orphan, since the death of the old hunter who adopted him, he has lived a life without a father and a mother, and he has nowhere to experience the troubles of the family.
Lu Mingfei originally thought that the story of the old patriarch was finished, but he didn't expect the atmosphere to be silent for a while, and the old patriarch spoke again:
"Elaine has only contacted us a few times since joining the Solomonic Temple, and she told us that the Solomonic Temple has a special technology that allows genetic screening and genetic pairing between half-breeds to ensure that the two half-breeds produce quality offspring."
"The original intention of this technology is to help those with high bloodlines find a hybrid that matches their genes, and give birth to a higher bloodline and stable offspring, although the success rate is not 100%, but it is also quite impressive, so that the strong family lineage can be optimized from generation to generation."
"However, this technique is generally only for male high-grade hybrids, because once it fails, the child born is a powerful Deadpool, which will directly tear the mother's body out, and high-ranking female hybrids generally do not risk this kind of death."
"That's why they collect a lot of half-breed women...... Hiss! Lu Mingfei gasped, "Doesn't this mean that the entire Solomonic Temple will be engaged in this kind of unconscionable business!" ”
"Perhaps, but Ilena said that the other branch halls are more restrained and strictly follow the rules of the main hall," the old patriarch said, "and although the original intention of this technique is to serve the high-ranking people, it can also pair low-blooded hybrids. ”
"Because ordinary people also have trace dragon genes in their bodies, as long as the pairing is appropriate, the low-level hybrids combine with ordinary people, and the offspring will have a higher bloodline, and because the starting point is too low, there is no risk of children becoming Deadpool."
"Elaine said that she had planned to conceive offspring herself, but because she only served male hybrids, Solomon's Temple would only collect genetic information from women, and she hoped that Tulio would cooperate with her and produce excellent offspring for the family."
"It's too hard......" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh.
People are not in the same situation, and he really can't empathize with Elaina's thoughts and choices.
"You didn't agree?" Old Tang said curiously, "To be honest, although this approach seems to be a bit unhuman rights and immoral, I think it is quite tempting to listen to it as an outsider." ”
When he thinks about it, he says that this is not very ethical, but he wonders why Salvador did not agree, and the subtext can be converted into his suspicion of Salvador's moral level.
But the old patriarch was not angry, but showed a trace of shame on his face: "Actually, at the beginning, Roger and I were really moved. It was Turio who woke us up, saying that he couldn't treat a living woman as a fertility tool, and if he really wanted to agree, then let the two old things go into battle himself, he wouldn't go. ”
Lu Mingfei quietly gave Turio a thumbs up.
Turio blinked.
"After we refused, Elaine stopped talking to us, but occasionally hung out with Xiao Qiao and Amber, and when we met again, she ...... Deceived Amber," the old patriarch said this, as if suddenly old, "We thought she cared about sisterhood at the time, but now it seems that she is afraid ...... It was looking for a sacrifice to the Solomonic Temple Society. ”
Lu Mingfei was suddenly afraid.
In other words, the little goddess almost swapped the situation with Amber?
"Why didn't you think to guard against Elaine?" He subconsciously asked.
"Who would think so badly of their blood relatives?" Turio said softly.
Lu Mingfei was silent.
