Don't get me wrong, Salomon is not a hero who is eager to seek justice. Those people are already dead, and delayed justice is worthless. He just wants to know some information he needs.
You must know that although vampires are classified as undead, they can still reproduce. They can give birth to children through the same reproduction methods as humans, and they can also transform humans into new vampires through first embrace.
The act of first embracing is a blood covenant, a magical contract that cannot be betrayed. This contract flows in the blood of vampires and is passed down from generation to generation.
Barnabas Collins has a very special identity. He is a vampire directly transformed from the magic in the "Dark Book of Darkness". Perhaps he himself does not realize how high his status is.
The so-called "pure-blood" and "mixed-blood" vampires who were entrenched in Detroit would bow their heads and salute when they saw him. At that time, the Venerable told Salomon that those vampires who summoned the so-called "Blood God" were a joke.
It's just that Salomon can no longer see those vampires, because they were all killed by a guy named Blade.
Now Barnabas is still extremely young (for a vampire) and has not accumulated much power, otherwise Salomon would not dare to come to see him rashly. Salomon only wants to know that Barnabas has
He didn't reproduce like mice so that he could know how many vampires there were in this town.
"I admit, what happened at the Highway 9 construction site, when I was just dug out, I was really thirsty." Barnabas' tone had a strong southern England accent, and he picked up a piece of paper with his fingertips.
He held the printing paper far away. After looking at it carefully, he said, "Oh, and this, a group of hippies. Their blood tastes extremely bad because of taking those terrible drugs."
"That's all?" Salomon kept smiling. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the Collins family sitting opposite him was already a little impatient. Caroline became gloomy again, David also quietly retreated, and the air became more and more impatient.
He became nervous. But Salomon didn't seem to notice anything was wrong. He said, "I want to confirm one thing, and that is - Mr. Barnabas, have you ever transformed a human being?"
"You mean the first embrace? There is only one!" The vampire shook his head violently, "...Sir? I forgot to ask for your name."
"Damonette."
"Okay, Mr. Damonette." The vampire crossed his hands over his heart, "I had the idea of transforming Elizabeth into a vampire, but she rejected it. Liz (Elizabeth's nickname) enjoyed aging. And Victoria...
She did not escape An Qi's murderous hands. After being killed by An Qi, I transformed her and let her survive. If this is also the responsibility, I am willing to bear it."
"Then there are two vampires here." Salomon stood up and pushed the remaining printing paper in front of Barnabas, "Then the rest of these were all committed by your wife Victoria?
"
"No, no, no." Barnabas pushed the printing paper back. He was not angry because of the quantifier Salomon used. He shook his head violently and firmly in denial, "Victoria would not do such a thing.
That's right. The Collins family invested in the hospital, and now we have switched to drinking blood bags from the hospital. In fact, we are also very confused. The only vampire I transformed is Victoria... For this reason, we often need to spend a lot of money to cover up the fact.
, This is done so that no one will doubt the Collins family, even though those things were not done by us."
"Are there other vampires in the local area?" Salomon paced the living room, slowly and naturally distancing himself from the Collins family. "I would also like to ask Mr. Barnabas to think carefully about whether you have been transformed."
Another human? The bite marks on those corpses can't be faked. According to what you said, I don't think the witch can transform other vampires - she is already affectionate enough."
The vampire walked around the living room with his head lowered, his cane kept tapping on the marble floor, and Barnabas kept mumbling. But no matter what, he was sure that he only transformed Victoria. In fact, the Corinth family
Those cases were investigated by the police more than once, but in the end nothing was found. Later, in order to hide the traces of the Collins family, Barnabas could only use his ability to control people's hearts to prevent the police from continuing to investigate.
But the Collins family still found some clues about another vampire.
"No, I'm sure." Barnabas finally stopped. Elizabeth kept winking at Barnabas. After one glance, the vampire swallowed what he wanted to say. He changed his words and said,
"But I can help you re-investigate this matter."
"Very good." Salomon nodded, "Please also prepare what I need. I will come to pick it up tomorrow."
After Salomon was led out of the hall by Willy, Elizabeth stood up with the help of David. She said, "You don't really believe that wizard, do you? He said he represents some sort of mage hermit."
Yes...I'm worried that he will bring someone here."
"Of course not, my dear Liz." The vampire blinked. Even though Barnabas was buried in the coffin when he was young, and he was still a little naive and romantic when he was dug out, as a man who once took charge of a

will lead to depravity".
He said, "Now that Victoria and I both enjoy eternal youth, why should I become a human? It's just a pity that I can't enjoy human food."
"What about the other vampire?" Elizabeth frowned, "This may expose the Collins family."
"Liz, don't worry, I already have an idea." Barnabas said, "Remember Julia Hoffman?"
————————————
A circular arc of sparks suddenly appeared in the hall of Collingwood Manor, which really startled the waiting Collins family. Poor Willy was still waiting patiently at the gate of the manor for Salomon's arrival.
However, Salomon had already entered the hall through the portal at this time.
"My dear Mr. Damonette." Barnabas came up to him. He curiously looked behind Salomon, but saw nothing except orange sparks. He could only look down again.
Salomon, "I'm sorry that I couldn't entertain you well yesterday, but I have prepared everything you need."
Elizabeth's eyes flashed. Although Barnabas had demonstrated some magic to her, except for the charming spells, the others could only be called small tricks. However, Salomon's behavior of opening the portal in the hall was...
She had to temporarily improve her assessment of Salomon. The actual head of the Corinthian family changed his attitude and immediately changed the plan she and Barnabas had planned yesterday.
Originally, the Corinthian family only wanted to use Salomon to deal with another vampire entrenched in the Port of Corinth. Barnabas's performance was enough to deceive most people. The vampire showed the guilt of being forced to suck blood (although this was
True), and the desire to return to being human (which is false).
Later, when Salomon wanted to help Barnabas turn back into a human, he killed him unexpectedly, completely covering up the traces of the Corinthian family. Maybe we still need to think about how to face the magician monastery, but when Salomon
When Meng appeared, the Collins family was already in trouble, and now they could only take one step at a time.
Elizabeth secretly spat—that witch would cause trouble for the Corinthian family even if she died.
But now, Elizabeth thinks that Salomon must still have some unknown magic. Barnabas's magic has lost its effect on him, and the biggest reliance on killing Salomon has disappeared. Of course, she will not think that
Firearms are effective against wizards. She once attacked Angelique Bouchard with a shotgun, but the effect was not good.
She even believed that Salomon's move was to increase deterrence. He was probably not fooled by yesterday's performance. The implication of using this magic was "I know where you are, and I can be here at any time. You run away."
It won’t fall anymore.”
In fact, Salomon had no intention of helping Barnabas lift the curse - this was beyond his ability, and he had never learned anything about lifting the vampire curse in the "Book of Vishan Emperor". Even with this
If it is magic, its function must be to eliminate vampires. And vampire dust is an extremely rare casting material. If possible, he would not mind adding some collections to his dimensional bag. Vampire spines and fingers are also very good.
material.
Facing an original vampire who had not yet fully mastered his own power, Salomon felt that even if he could not defeat him, he could still run away.
If Salomon was still the original dead man, he would not have such thoughts at all. But as mentioned before, he may be affected by the necromancy masters and black magic masters he remembers.
Because while controlling some of the stigmata, he also learned some of the mage's memories.
So Salomon might be... a little crazy right now.
But no one noticed it, not even the Supreme Mage - how could a normal person be interested in a terrifying place like the Dark Dimension?
"Thank you very much, Mr. Barnabas." Salomon did not shake hands with the vampire, but performed a mage's ceremony.
Barnabas opened his palm, then retracted it. The corner of his mouth raised, and he stretched his right hand towards the huge staircase leading to the second floor from the living room, "Everything you need is there, please follow me."
"Of course." Salomon responded with a smile. His eyes shone with interest, both for those magic books and... for vampires.
