In the ancient castle, there were bursts of sharp neighing sounds, and the sound of flapping bat wings resounded throughout the castle. After a while, hundreds of vampires wearing black and red uniforms gathered in the deepest part of the castle.
in the basement.
This is an extremely spacious underground cave, with oil lamps lit all around. In the center of the underground cave, dozens of black wooden coffins are parked. The surfaces of these coffins are painted with complex and mysterious patterns in gold.
These dozens of coffins are the foundation for the Hawke family to be able to stand for thousands of years and remain prosperous. In each coffin lies a Baron Hawke.
"We have a common ancestor, and the same blood flows through us. We are here to pray for the protection of our ancestors, and we use our blood to summon you..."
The ancient mantra reverberated throughout the underground cave like a song. All the vampires looked solemn and chanted in a low voice, their faces hidden under the hoods of their uniforms.
Soon, the first vampire stepped forward, walked to a coffin at the edge, and cut his wrist with his nails. Blood spurted out and flowed towards the coffin.
The blood flowed onto the coffin and disappeared immediately, as if it had been swallowed up. After about one third of the vampire's blood was drained, the wound healed automatically, and the originally fair face looked even paler and weaker.
Soon, the second vampire came up, took his place, repeated the previous action, cut his wrist, and dripped blood on the coffin.
In this way, each of the hundreds of vampires sacrificed one-third of their own blood, hoping to use their blood to summon their ancestors to wake up.
After all the vampires sacrificed their blood, another vampire placed dazzling magic gems in the grooves on the surface of the coffin. These gems fit perfectly with the grooves, as if they were specially designed for these grooves.
The groove is generally made.
Dozens of magic gems, each of which is priceless, are just like ordinary stones on the roadside in the hands of these vampires, casually placed in the grooves on the coffin without any sign of distress.
When the last magic gem was placed, these magic gems suddenly burst into light, each one emitting a magic flame more than a foot long.
After the light flame lasted for more than ten seconds, all the magic gems made a "click-click" cracking sound inside. After a while, the light flame became scattered and finally disappeared. However, these priceless items in the grooves on the surface of the coffin
All the magic gems turned into fine powder.
A heavy sigh sounded from the coffin.
"Who is disturbing my sleep..."
Crunch~
There was a harsh friction sound, the coffin lid was slowly pushed open, and a dry palm stretched out from the coffin.
Then, a man with an old face wearing a luxurious dress slowly sat up from the coffin.
"My ancestors, the contemporary Baron Hawke has died. We have no choice but to start the awakening ceremony to wake you up from your slumber!" A vampire knelt down in front of the coffin and explained.
"Hehehe, the contemporary Baron Hawke has fallen?" The old man sat in the coffin, seeming to enjoy the feeling of being in the coffin and not in a hurry to come out.
Hearing the death of the contemporary Baron Hawke, the old man showed a fierce look on his face. The contemporary Baron Hawke was a direct relative of the old man. In other words, this old man was the father of the contemporary Baron Hawke.
It's just that according to the rules of the Hawke family, each generation of Baron Hawke can only reign for a hundred years, and then he must fall into a deep sleep, accumulate blood energy, and prepare for future promotion. At the same time, it is also to make way for future generations. After all, a
It is difficult for an old antique who has survived for hundreds of years to adapt to the rapid development of the times. Let an old antique with conservative ideas lead the entire family, which is likely to lead the entire family into an abyss.
These are lessons learned from blood. The Hawke family has been in danger of destruction several times in history. Fortunately, they were lucky enough to survive, so they have such rules.
"Charlie..." the old man read his son's name, recalling the scene when he was with his son in his mind.
After a long time, a drop of turbid tears flowed from the old man's eyes, and he asked: "Who killed my son and your master?"
"Eastern, Sir!" The vampire kneeling in front of the coffin said loudly: "In order to save Master Colin's life, Baron Hawke personally went to the mysterious ancient East to find an item called the A-level demon bloodline transformation potion.
, and ended up falling there..."
"Master Colin?" The old man frowned slightly and asked, "Charlie has his own heir? Bring him here and let me see!"
When the old man fell into a deep sleep, Hawke had no children of his own, and now Colin should be his direct grandson. The fertility of the vampire family is very weak, and most of them are passed down by a single line. It is said that they are cursed and cannot have a second heir.
.
This is why Hawke spent so much money to treat Colin's hemolysis.
When Colin was taken to the underground cave, the old man who had come out of the coffin glanced at him, but immediately frowned.
Colin is a mixed race. The moment he appeared, the old man could already feel the mixture of his blood. At the same time, the hemorrhagic syndrome also made Colin look very weak. After only standing for a while, blood had already appeared on his forehead.
Cold sweat.
"Child, come here!" The old man stretched out his right hand towards Colin and said kindly.
Colin took a deep breath and swayed towards the old man. The old man looked at the weak young man in front of him, felt the blood connection between him and himself, and couldn't help but sigh.
When Colin walked to the old man, the old man gently touched Colin's hair and asked softly: "My son, your father, my son is dead. Do you want to avenge him?"
"Grandpa, I think!" Colin nodded fiercely and said.
"Okay, kid!" A smile appeared on the old man's face, and he immediately motioned for someone to take Colin down.
"Prepare to open the blood pool!" The old man waited until Colin left, pondered for a long time, and ordered: "Open the blood pool and prepare the blood god sacrificial ceremony for Colin!"
"Sir, the blood god sacrificial ceremony has not been started for hundreds of years, and the success rate is less than one in ten thousand..." A vampire's face showed a look of panic.
"This is the only chance for that child to survive!" The old man said sternly with a serious face: "If he cannot bear the blessing of the Blood God, it means that the Blood God has abandoned the Hawke family, and then the Hawke family will not exist.
It’s necessary!”
At this time, the old man had become the new Baron Hawke again. His words could not be violated. After a moment of silence, everyone began to prepare according to the old man's orders.
In the castle, everyone was whispering.
"The Blood God blesses the sacrifice, but the blood of millions of people must be prepared as sacrifices. By then, the Hawke family may become the target of public criticism and the family's biggest crisis..."
