340. Abnormal blood ancestry observation test
Melia Corrando had come back to her senses from her weakness two days after she had been pulled back from the catastrophe of eternal silence.
Her eyes had been blinded from previous torture, injuries that even vampires' healing powers could not heal, and she could not see again unless she could get her hands on the legendary family blood.
But for Melia, who escaped death, wanting to see the world in front of her is undoubtedly an undeserved luxury, and she is only glad that she has escaped a catastrophic end after sobering up, and that she still has her silly sister by her side.
After experiencing the death of her father in battle, the separation of her relatives, the collapse of her family, the demise of her faction, and the hunting and torture of others, Melia feels that her life as a vampire has been "sublimated".
At least after going through the great horror between life and death, it is no longer as entangled in the gains and losses as before.
She let out a sigh of relief, reached out and fumbled her sister Winnie, who was sleeping beside her, into her arms.
The poor little creature had not suffered from blindness, but she had suffered no less than her sister in the past period, and she must have been tired.
She needs to rest.
"Hey, why are you blindfolded as a vampire?"
Just as Melia was about to hold her sister and quietly experience the little joy of escaping death, a woman's curious voice sounded in front of the vampire's eyes.
Melia's ears twitched.
It is said that the loss of one sense will sharpen the other senses to fill in the lack of perception, and this principle is also true for vampires.
During the time she lost her sight, Melia could feel that her sense of hearing and smell had indeed grown a lot.
She could hear the "youthful" part of the woman's tone in front of her, so she was definitely not too old, and the accent from the Anjou region could not hide it, plus her tone was not hoarse and gloomy, and she did not smell the unique smell of a vampire.
Therefore, it can be determined that the woman who spoke to her definitely had a complex relationship with the vulture vampire, allowing her to walk among the vampires without being harmed.
She also needed more information to confirm the identity of the person in front of her.
"I'm blinded by poison."
Melia replied a little sarcastically:
"What? First time you've seen a vampire blind? β
"yes, I didn't know there were so many ways to be a vampire race before I met my grandfather, but this is the first time I've seen so many vampires in a group, and to be honest, it's a little exciting.
But doesn't that mean you can all heal yourself?
Why are you still blind? But to be honest, you look good with an eye patch like this. β
The woman, with a tone of joy that Melia could not understand, said as if sharing a story:
"Grandpa said that you are thugs of the Wolf Poison Clan, but you two girls don't look like thugs at all, so you are actually outliers in the Wolf Poison Clan?"
"Your grandfather is a vampire?"
Melia asked rhetorically:
"And it sounds like you have a pretty good relationship with him. With all due respect, girl, you may not realize what you're doing, but based on my personal experience, my advice is to run before your grandfather's beastly hair sucks your delicious blood dry.
While not every vampire would do such crazy things, the vast majority of the 'compatriots' I've seen don't feel much pressure to do it. β
"My grandfather wouldn't do that! You're a bloody man, and my grandfather was a legendary knight who kept his oath even when he became a vampire. And you know what's the best thing about having a vampire grandpa?
He barely aged!
It would allow me to confirm that my natural beauty was due to his handsomeness and the fine lineage of my grandmother's standard Sealand lady. β
The girl in front of her didn't care to say more, but Melia had gathered enough information, and after a few seconds of silence, she said:
"So, you're from the Sivir family in the Nantes region?"
"Huh, hey!"
Standing in front of the Korando sisters, holding her delicate notebook and curiously observing the two unique vampires, Miss Becky's eyes widened, and the blonde knight exclaimed:
"How did you guess that? I didn't say anything about my origins. β
"It's not a guess, it's an inference."
Melia, blindfolded with blood-stained cloth, said in a weak but methodical manner:
"You said that your grandfather kept his oath after becoming a vampire, which means that he was an oath keeper, and with your Anjou accent, as far as I know, there are no more than three oath keepers born in the Anjou region in the last hundred years, and the most famous of them is from the Sivir family, nicknamed 'The Nantes Ranger'.
That's enough for me to deduce where you came from, miss.
If you want to hear more, I'll tell you that I've heard some of their plans from my tormentors, they're going to ambush the Capetian caravan, but why did you, a member of the Sivirs, appear in the Capet's caravan?
The only explanation.
You are the 'lucky blonde fool' who has recently been rumored in Anjou, and has been chosen as the fiancΓ©e of Lord Fraser, heir to the Capetian family.
Am I guessing right? β
"Wow, all I can say is an eye-opener."
Miss Pinkie wasn't angry at Melia for calling her a "blonde".
She has been very tolerant in this regard since she was a child, and what others say is someone else's business, as long as she can withstand the heavy blow of her fist, they can say whatever they like.
She blinked at the blind vampire in front of her, and couldn't help but admire:
"I've long heard that the Wolf Venom Clan has a lot of underground intelligence networks, making them the intelligence collectors of the Thieves' Guild on the continent, second only to the Halflings, and it's really extraordinary when I see it today.
But you can know so much information to show that you are not a person without identity in the Wolf Venom Clan, how can you fall to such a miserable state? β
"Well, that's a long story."
Melia didn't seem to have much interest in sharing her life turns in the past period of time with Becky, but when she shut up, another voice sounded next to her:
"Lady Becky, please don't feel sorry for a poor girl who has just died her father and brothers, if you want to know the history of the rise and fall of the House of Corrando, then when you reach the Blood Vulture Corridor, I will send someone to answer all this for you."
Murphy stepped out of the side, making Miss Becky, who was crouching in front of the Corrando sisters, nervously get up, and make him a standard ladylike courtesy.
But the vampire governor shook his head and said:
"I don't know what Kudell told you to make you so scared of me, but I prefer the light-hearted way we talked before.
In terms of your style, I think the chivalry is more suitable for you than the lady's ceremony.
The mountain dwellers are about to start the big celebration, they want to congratulate the first Knight of the Holy Grail born in the ancestral glade, and for outsiders, it is a worthwhile adventure to be able to participate in the mountain people's celebrations, where the Knight Liwen has already begun to feast.
Aren't you going? β
"Eat, of course I'm interested, then we'll see you at the Crimson Keep, handsome Lord Murphy."
Miss Pinkie sees that Murphy wants to talk to Sister Corrando about something "personal", so she excuses herself to leave.
This ability to read words and emotions proves that Miss Pinkie is not the rumored "lucky blonde fool", and that she has an extraordinary eye for observation.
Maybe it's just because she doesn't understand, she just doesn't care?
Watching Becky bounce away, Murphy retracted his gaze to look at the vampire sister in front of him, and as he crouched down, Melia's body muscles tightened significantly, hugging her sleeping sister in her arms even tighter.
"Your father did not die at my hand."
Murphy looked at the blind vampire girl in front of him and said:
"But that death is inseparable from me, and the collapse of the Greyclaw faction was also caused by me, and your father and brothers died from their undeserved ambitions, and their strength was not worthy of their overly inflated ambitions.
And you and your sister are the last bloodlines of Moriarty Korando, and in order to prevent the two of you from getting me into trouble in the future, I should probably give you an eternal death here."
"We won't be a problem, Lord Murphy."
Melia whispered:
"I've been branded as a blood vulture, and I'm yours."
"Do you think I'll believe in the clichΓ© that bloodlines determine fate?"
Murphy smiled sarcastically.
He was silent for a few seconds and asked:
"In that dream you just had. What did you dream about? Honestly, I can allow you to live in a different capacity and not interfere with your and your sister's future lives.
But if you dare to lie, then you do it at your own risk. β
Murphy's strange question made Melia's body tremble.
The vampire girl who had inherited the wisdom of Moriarty Corrando had guessed that Murphy might know the answer, and he just wanted to hear Melia say it herself.
Melia hesitated for a moment in his gaze, and then she said:
"I'm dreaming of another world. In another life, from the perspective of a strange man, I saw everything bizarre."
"Very well, you're honest and not lying, it seems that the bloodline that shouldn't have happened has indeed tied you to Happy Stick in a way I can't imagine.
It's amazing how there can be such information interfering with each other across two worlds. β
Murphy stood up, took out a small jar of blood and put it in Melia's hand, and he whispered:
"I don't know if this connection is good or bad yet, but I hope you don't turn it into a bad thing, and from now on, you have a little secret in your heart that you can't tell to a third person other than me.
I want you to keep this secret and play your role in the future, and you must serve your 'elder' with all your heart who is too strange and out of step with our world.
And not just because you owe him his life!
Can you understand what I mean? β
ββ
"Go to Batasin City now? In such a hurry? β
Lady Dorothy was about to have a feast after an ancient ritual in the woodlands of the mountain people, when she suddenly received instructions from Master Murphy.
She looked at the Governor, who had spread her wings, in astonishment, and said:
"Is there something going on over there? I'm going to finish this meal. β
"You can stay here and continue to enjoy the festivities, I'm just telling you I'm leaving here, and if there's an emergency, you have to rush over there."
Murphy waved his hand and said:
"I'm calling you here to help me take care of the warriors I left here, and they've recently been searching for displaced war people across Transnesia.
Harvest may soon come, so the Blood Rat Gang will have to prepare for it. β
"That's not our job."
Dorothy pouted and said:
"Aren't there civil servants in the administrative department who will be responsible for receiving those poor people? I see that they have packed up all the camps and prepared them for the homeless people. β
"I'm asking you to do your duty!"
Murphy scolded:
"The Blood Rat Gang is an organization under the command of the Shadow Intelligence Bureau, and you are embarrassed to use it now, but at least you can send people to blend in with the outcasts, and rely on your experience of surviving in the gray area to help Adele detect and eradicate the unstable factors in advance.
Transasia has been in turmoil for so many years, and those exiles are definitely not pure white lotuses.
Bandits, criminals, and even cultists and dangerous people hiding in their shoes must be discovered and controlled as soon as possible.
I need the population, but I don't need a bunch of unruly ticking time bombs. β
"Got it! Rest assured. β
Seeing that the Governor was a little angry, Dorothy immediately straightened her attitude, and she said solemnly:
"I'll appoint someone to take care of this as soon as I get back to the Crimson Keep, and we'll do it well."
"Well, I hope you can come up with a good answer, Adele is not one person who will let you bargain with her on a work issue."
Murphy nodded in satisfaction.
He glanced at Kuder and decided to fly with the tribune to the city of Batasimin at night to take part in the reception of the armed blood servants.
But before leaving, Murphy hadn't forgotten another important thing.
He summoned Sharon, a "local", and told her:
"I'll leave the two Korando sisters who have joined the Vulture here, and you bring them back with you when you return to the Crimson Keep, but you're going to watch them for me while I'm away.
If there is any abnormality, you must record it, and if there is a life-threatening problem, contact me as soon as possible through the Calculation Orb. β
"Well, okay, leave it to me."
Sharon, who was holding a mountain folk style roast chicken leg in his hand, replied seriously, and Murphy and Kudell got up and flew into the night and galloped in the direction of Batassin.
High in the night, the tribune whispered to Murphy:
"Do you want to go there in time because you're worried that something will happen to those captives?"
"Well, the Blood Vulture Clan to which they once swore allegiance has collapsed into the dustbin of history, and no one can know what those former Blood Servants thought and thought of the New Blood Vulture Clan."
Murphy let the night breeze blow his long hair, and then glanced at Refno, the vulture who was flying with him not far away, and he no longer hid his concern in the sky.
He said to Kudel:
"What's more, I have received some disturbing news from Grand Duke Shani that the Kingdom of Nordtov has added some 'instability' in their country to this group of captives, and intends to take advantage of the opportunity to make a waste use.
If those guys can't be law-abiding people with the North guys, then why do I think they're going to turn around and be good people when they come to Transnsia?
This group of captives arrived at a timely time.
But if we don't handle it well, they will most likely become poison buried in Transnesia.
I could have sent them to the front as cannon fodder, but I have a higher level of expectation for them, we are short of people right now, and I promised to give anyone who enters Transncia a second chance.
So, I'm going to teach them the rules of the land before they do anything wrong! β
"There's an easier way."
Kudell pondered for a moment, then said to Murphy:
"The current Translancia is like a dangerous jungle, and when order has not yet been fully restored, suppression by force is also a quick way to cut through the chaos.
If the criminals and ruffians think they can live a human life in Transasia with violence, then I'm sure your warlike and crazy warriors will teach them a lesson.
When the other party can't understand the good words and persuasion, it is more convenient to communicate with fists. β
"Well, that's a good idea."
Murphy nodded, and he exclaimed:
"You are indeed a well-informed old-timer, Lord Kudell, and the inclusion of you in the system of the Crimson Keep is definitely the best choice I have made in this time.
If it weren't for the fact that I already had Maxim, I would have done everything I could to make you my blood. β
"All I can say is that thankful you didn't."
Kudel let out a low laugh in the night, and he replied:
"Otherwise, you will gain an enemy that will give you a lot of headaches, please believe me, Lord Murphy, Maxim is more suitable for you, if the loyalist can keep going all the way to the end of this loyal path, then he will definitely become a follower a hundred times better than me.
There's something about Mark that I'm lacking, and that's who he is as a Translansian.
Or rather, I have been bound by an oath to live, but his future is free, and you can make him a fierce soldier. β
"yes, he's free to the point where he has to sneak around with someone else."
Murphy complained fiercely:
"My dear Maxim thought I didn't know the wonderful way he and Lady Leenia got along, but I think Mark was asking for trouble.
Blood knights cannot have lovers.
This was the rule that was set the moment the Blood Alliance Clan was born. If I want to embrace the beauty, my poor Maxim is destined to go through countless ups and downs and tribulations.
But how to say it?
With his character of dying if he doesn't fight, he probably will enjoy it. β
