When Hodge interpreted this emotion, he almost wanted to throw away the blood cup.
Because it is alive!
Is it a living creature with autonomous consciousness?
Does it also want to devour the user?
Extremely dangerous! Extremely evil!
Hodge once tried to communicate with the blood cup, but never got a response, but the emotion was real, which made Hodge think that there might be some kind of seal on the blood cup, and the blood cup was plundering his spirit by purifying the blood.
In the way of strength, he gradually recovers and unlocks the seal that restricts himself.
"But so far, the attitude given by the blood cup is still kind enough. This may come from the suppression of this mysterious space." Hodge thought in his heart, and after a slight hesitation, he walked towards the door with the pattern of the bone wine cup pouring red blood.
.
Hotch still remembered that the last time he entered here, he passed through the blood cup gate and successfully returned to the real world.
Therefore, Huo Qi planned to try again. After all, there was a high probability that certain items were sealed in other gates here. The blood cup showed kindness, but it did not mean that the sealed objects behind other gates also showed kindness.
It is very possible that after Hodge opened the door, he was immediately devoured by what was inside.
Therefore, Hodge planned to wait until he was in the middle sequence before opening other doors and exploring the secrets.
The deepest secrets may only be revealed after reaching a high level of sequence.
But Hodge felt that at the mid-sequence level, one should be able to master one or two more sealed artifacts.
At that time, it would be most appropriate to open other doors.
Hodge put his hands on the mottled door, gently pushed open the ancient door.
"Zhiya..."
With the sound of the door being pushed open, Hodge saw the scene inside.
The surging sea of blood disappeared. On the empty and dry river bed, a dark Gothic-style spire stood strangely. An upside-down figure hung on the top of the spire. The dark red blood moon hung high in the sky, reflecting on the black building.
Things appear mysterious, strange, and dark.
Hotch looked at this scene, swallowed, frowned, and hesitated in front of the door.
But after a brief thought, Hodge decided to enter the door.
As Hodge passed through the door, a hazy shadow appeared on his body. His face gradually blurred, and his dark pupils were stained with a trace of blood red. His clothes were also hazy, and an illusory blood-colored shadow floated around him.
, as if possessed by a ghost.
Hodge also felt his own strange state. He frowned and felt anxious as he walked across the dry river bed and opened the door of the minaret.
As soon as the minaret door was pushed open, all the lights came on. At a glance, the red carpet was laid all the way, pointing to the only door.
Hotch looked at this scene and was about to walk in when a hoarse and stiff voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Hey, it looks like there's a new guy."
Hotch's expression changed, and he suddenly turned his head, only to see a gargoyle statue standing on the left, which became strangely alive and condensed into a human figure.
The figure was blurry and twisted, with a vague color of bronze stone. He was about 1.72 meters tall, with eyes as scarlet as blood, like a hungry wolf, and white hair hanging casually on both sides.
"Red eyes and white hair?"
"etc?"
"Red eyes!"
Hotch's face changed slightly, and he suddenly thought of something.
He has read many ancient documents and classics, which introduce the characteristics of many races in the Second Age, such as the palms of dwarves, the hair of werewolves, the height of giants, etc. Among them, the introduction to vampires is... red eyes.
"Is it a vampire?"
Hodge became vigilant. The Vampires were widely active in the Third and Fourth Era and were the mortal enemies of the werewolves. They had created many first followers and infected many humans, making them vassals of the Vampires.
The dark history of the Vampire Clan is still recorded in human classics that have been handed down to this day.
"Newcomers, don't be nervous. It's your first time attending a blood moon party, right?"
"Under the watchful eye of the ancestors, no one dares to mess around here."
"Let me introduce myself, my code name is Gargoyle."
The man who called himself a gargoyle seemed to notice Hodge's nervousness. He smiled, waved his hand, and said casually: "Looking at you, you should be a young vampire who is less than three hundred years old, right?"
"To be favored by the Ancestor and attend the Blood Moon Gathering, your talent should be good and you have the qualifications to continue to be promoted."
Ancestor? Favor? Blood Moon Gathering?
Why does such a place appear behind the Blood Cup Gate?
Was it because I took away the blood cup that something special happened?
Hodge suppressed the panic in his heart and answered in Raymondese: "Mr. Gargoyle, can you explain the current situation to me?"
Mr. Gargoyle looked at Hodge up and down, nodded, and said: "Well, his character is pretty good, much calmer than my descendants, but your new generation of vampires don't even know the language of the vampires themselves.
? It’s really sad!”
Mr. Gargoyle speaks Raymond, which is the universal language in the world of occultism, similar to English in Hodge's previous life. However, ancient Raymond with mysterious power can easily cause danger if used casually, so now it is generally used
Use the former.
As for the vampire language spoken by Mr. Gargoyle, Huo Qi was really confused.
After all, in today's era, it is really difficult to understand the language and writing of the vampires.
It is so old that there is no corresponding documentary record at all, and it is difficult to even analyze it, let alone master it.
Listening to this vampire who had existed for an unknown period of time, talking to himself about teaching his younger generation, Huo Qi did not respond, or in other words, he did not dare to respond. At such a mysterious gathering where the specific situation was unknown, more words were more likely to be wrong than less.
Say less wrong.
However, for now, Hodge has also gotten a lot of useful things.
First of all, this is a gathering among extraordinary people, called the Blood Moon Gathering.
Secondly, from the mouth of the vampire who calls himself a gargoyle, Hodge knows that this is a special gathering from within the vampire clan. Only vampires favored by the ancestor will have the opportunity to participate.
In other words, except for Huo Qi, the other people attending the party were all vampires.
After understanding this, Hodge could only be more cautious and cautious, hiding his identity to prevent himself from being exposed.
Although the gargoyle said that no one would take action here under the watchful eye of the ancestors of the vampires, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. Once he was discovered as a human being, then...these hungry vampires would
How to do it?
it goes without saying!
It's really a party dancing on the edge of a knife... The thoughts in Hodge's heart are constantly changing, but on the surface, he remains calm.
Mr. Gargoyle rambled on for a long time. Seeing that Hotch didn't say anything, he found it boring and stopped: "You are a silent guy, okay, then I'll be more direct."
"According to the rules here, equal exchange, if you want to get something, you need to pay something of corresponding value. I can explain it to you, but what can you give?"
"Occult knowledge that I don't understand?"
"Some valuable potion?"
“Extraordinary material that interests me?”
"What can you give?"
"I'm curious?"
Equivalent exchange? It's interesting... Hotch narrowed his eyes slightly, and he suddenly liked this party format.
Hodge is the only heir to the Marquis of the Empire and has a wide range of resources. After all, he has a powerful father, but he lacks a platform that can realize the resources and trade them with each other.
Because extraordinary people need to trade frequently, similarly, some special occult knowledge will also be obtained at special gatherings.
You must know that although the Vampire Clan has declined, the resources possessed by such a powerful race with profound heritage are certainly unimaginable.
Even their history, their language, and their writing are priceless treasures in the human world.
If you can exchange some extraordinary materials, occult knowledge, or even the language of the ancient times from the vampires, you may be able to crack the secret of the mottled door and unlock the mystery of your own specialness.
The Blood Moon Gathering may be his breakthrough.
Hearing this, Huo Qi looked at the vampire gentleman who claimed to be a gargoyle, and said in a slow and slow tone: "I can give you what you are interested in, but I feel that just explaining some common sense of the party is not worth the high cost.
Items of value.”
Hodge's tone was quite calm, as if he was stating a fact.
