Chapter 229 Immortal Realm(1/5)
"It's too exaggerated. Even for a newborn, his blood thirst is too intense, like an uncivilized beast."
On the abandoned watchtower, Yannik looked down calmly, as if he were watching a stage play from the front row seat.
In contrast, Thales had to hold up a telescope, relying on the double blessing of the lens tube and the Sin of the Hell River, plus the fireworks exploding in the night sky from time to time, to barely see the battle ahead:
Lausanne II roared continuously, as if he was crazy, and chased Catherine to the roof. However, he was dragged down by the sudden rise of the net bag and disappeared into the alley.
"Newborn, hum."
Thales disdained the slander:
Does your newborn look like this?
"I guess this is because he has been blindly suppressing his blood thirst. However, desire is like a flood. It is better to block it forcefully than to release it slowly. The more you sit back and ignore it and suppress it roughly, the more terrifying the power and damage will be when it rebounds."
The vampire leader of the feast narrowed his eyes and stared at the movement below:
"So when he was overwhelmed by blood thirst, he couldn't even maintain his basic sanity and completely turned into another person or another animal."
Yannick's eyes flickered and he said with emotion:
"As a vampire, if you cannot coexist with your desires and reach a compromise, then you will completely break up - when one party takes power, the other party will be driven out and each will do its own thing."
No wonder, no wonder Lausanne II committed so many bloody crimes and had to cover up so much.
"It's like Jekyll and Hyde." Thales said in a daze.
"What?"
Thales came back to his senses and shook his head naturally:
"It's not important. Not many people know about the legend of the two-faced devil man around the Western Wilderness."
Yannick nodded thoughtfully.
As the killing trap was triggered, this simple residential area in the new suburb seemed to suddenly wake up. Lights lit up inside and outside, illuminating figures, and shouts of killing could be heard one after another.
But the houses outside the encirclement were still quiet and dark.
It's as if there is some kind of indescribable tacit understanding with the battlefield.
Thales couldn't find the target, so he had to put down the telescope.
"Kathleen—the boss of the Blood Bottle Gang who had a grudge against him—insisted on hosting the ambush. She must have understood this."
The Phantom Blade project aroused Lausanne II's blood-sucking desire, forcing him to lose his mind and turn into a beast. He was unable to respond to the enemy with clear and methodical swordsmanship, which made it easy to catch a turtle in a jar.
So far, it seems to have some results.
But, how many connections and manpower did she use, including those from the Underworld Brotherhood?
How effective can it be?
If her plan fails...
"Now that you have seen it with your own eyes, Yang, this is the situation." Thinking of this, Thales' eyes burned brightly and he went straight to the topic, "What do you think?"
The vampire councilor was silent for a while, but his reply was precise:
"In my opinion, Your Highness, the elders of this vampire killer either failed to discipline him, failed to restrain him, or had no intention of teaching him how to relieve his blood thirst."
He narrowed his eyes, intentionally or unintentionally:
"I don't know whether it's because I have to do it, or because I have sinister intentions."
Thales' eyebrows moved slightly.
"According to the traditions and laws of our clan, all damage and guilt caused by a reckless newborn will be borne by his elders and even the clan to which they belong. Only they are the most suitable to restrain him..."
"Well said," Thales interrupted his diplomatic speech in time, "That's why I found the parents and invited people from the Corleone family, but it's a pity..."
Thales sighed and gestured to where Li was standing just now.
Parents are irresponsible and run away as soon as they are slapped on the butt.
Leave the naughty kid to continue causing trouble.
Yannick showed an understanding smile.
However, Thales changed the subject:
"But Count Le left so neatly, I couldn't help but start to doubt: What if this really wasn't done by the Corleone family?"
Yannick's eyes moved.
"Your Highness?"
Thales raised his head and said something:
"If Li ignores the mess left by Lausanne II, it is because he does not need to be responsible, because there is indeed no relative elder of this vampire in the Kingdom of Night, and Lausanne II is not a vampire transformed by Corleone, so naturally he
Not bound by them?"
"Even if the killer is not a descendant of the Corleone family, it does not clear their suspicions," Yannick first confirmed Thales's suspicion, and then quietly changed the direction of the suspicion, "Or on the contrary: Corleone deliberately took advantage of
Such a stray newborn who has nothing to do with blood affiliation and therefore does not have to take responsibility, so that he can be wiped out at a critical moment?"
That's right.
It's really clean.
Thales glanced at Yannick intentionally or unintentionally.
"But if Lausanne II is not Corleone, or even a descendant of the seven lower clans in the Kingdom of Night, how could it be..."
"Please be absolutely assured."
Yannick smiled and stopped him in time:
"For our clan, developing descendants is a serious, solemn and complicated matter. Once there is any deviation, the losses will be huge. Therefore, no matter how senior and experienced the elders are, they must be cautious.
"Not only are the number of gifted descendants strictly limited, but the process is difficult and long. From demand, reporting, public discussion, approval, to selection, training, testing, and decision on candidates, they must go through many hurdles. The last step is what the public recognizes.
The eternal gift of knowledge—that is, transformation.
"We, at least the Immortal Parliament, have extremely strict rules and supervision in this regard. From the Speaker and the elders to the newborns and blood slaves, every vampire is recorded in the book. Their affiliation is clear, and their behavior is slightly deviant.
, then there is no way to trace the source.”
He looked at Thales and his conclusion was unquestionable:
"He couldn't have been brought from the feast."
Is that so absolute?
Thales smiled playfully:
"But what if someone, for their own selfish purposes, deceives the superiors and conceals the truth from the inferiors, and creates descendants behind your council's back?"
Yannick denied:
"No, the "Convention between Human Nations and Immortal Species" ensures this. The Immortal Parliament will never allow any vampire newborn to be born out of sight without consent."
He looked sharply:
"As for secretly creating descendants, this is a heinous crime that threatens the survival of the ethnic group and undermines the order of our clan. Offenders, regardless of their status or blood relationship, will be punished with daily punishment, and the whole clan will learn from it."
Yannick's expression was serious and his eyes were cold.
Thales looked at him for a while and then stopped laughing.
"Don't be so nervous. I didn't say it was you who did it. Maybe when Lausanne II was on the run, he was bitten by some wandering vampire outside and transformed into..."
"It's impossible."
Yannick interrupted him, half-smiling.
"It is far from easy to transform a vampire, it requires source blood."
Thales raised his eyebrows:
"What blood?"
Yannick said seriously:
"Origin blood - the most precious essence blood in our clan, is also an important medium for creating descendants and passing on 'gifts'. However, pure source blood can often only be condensed by the vampires in the extreme realm."
If the source blood absorbed during transformation is not of sufficient purity or is overly diluted and mixed...
That could lead to the tragedy of flesh and blood collapse - this was common in the early history of the Vampire Clan, and the most famous one was the eldest son of the founder of the Vampire Clan.
Or worse, the newborn went completely crazy during the transformation and degenerated into a blood slave with no reason but only desire, almost a beast.
It will lead to the next disaster of wolf enemies.
Thinking this way, Yannick continued:
"Besides, the source blood is extremely sensitive. Once it condenses outside the body of the bleeding clan, it will evaporate completely in less than an hour. Even if it is injected into the human body, it will not remain for more than a day."
Thales woke up:
"That means……"
"This is not something that 'just any wandering vampire' can do," Yannick said solemnly, "The person who gave Lausanne II the gift and turned him into a descendant must be an elder with a name and status.
To be continued...
