Lu Zhengkang took Serana from the high-walled corridor to Belerika's study. It turned out that these roads were collapsed and blocked, and the vampires never thought of repairing them, allowing them to wither away.
Serana gently touched the objects in the study, and the real touch gave her some kind of kind comfort. For her, this was a secret place that represented family affection. Since then, after her mother and father broke up, Belle
Rika then disappeared from Serana's life. Now it seems that she has never left. She has always been in the castle and seems to have been paying attention to the child's growth.
The arrangement of these furniture items reflects the personality of the previous owner of this place. It seems that it is still familiar, nothing more and nothing less, just like my mother was here yesterday but not anymore.
Thinking of the past, the broken family made Serana feel even more painful. She was caught between her parents, neither recognized by her elders nor able to understand them.
Fortunately, her father Hakon has been killed, and she wants to take her enemy to find her mother.
During the days when Lu Zhengkang stayed in the castle to take care of the victims, he had carefully cleaned this room. When he first arrived here, he saw heavy dust and cobwebs everywhere. It was no different from the rest of the castle.
Just like those underground tombs.
Fortunately, the bookshelves and cupboards were protected by a magic circle. Although the core soul stone had long since lost its energy, it had lasted for quite some time and would not allow the books and materials to completely rot and decay.
Opening the portal requires three materials and a key.
The materials are finely ground bone powder, purified void salt, and soul stone fragments.
The key is the blood of the Daughter of Coldharbour.
These are all recorded in Berelika's diary. At the beginning of the diary, she clearly expressed her disappointment with Harkon's plan. At the end of the diary, she said that she would share the plan with Serana and take her to the Dark Cave Tomb.
According to what Serana said, before she sealed it, the center of human power was still in Skyrim, and there was no so-called Alessian Empire at that time. It was almost the time of the Nord First Empire in the First Era.
For thousands of years, Belerica has been trapped in the Cairn of Souls, while Harkon is still dreaming of the eternal night. The entire vampire force has stopped moving forward and is lifeless.
Not only Serana felt a sense of consternation that time was missing, but even Lu Zhengkang couldn't help but lament how unworthy time is to the immortals.
The vampire's current fate has served as a reminder to Lu Zhengkang that if he transforms into a lich in the future, he must not live a mediocre life, otherwise it would be better to end up as a ghoul.
After mixing the materials and placing them in the sacrificial basin, Serana stepped forward without saying a word, took an elf dagger and slit her wrist. The blood slowly dripped into the basin, and a blue fire ignited in an instant.
The contents in the basin melted into a dark liquid and evaporated little by little. The ritual array on the ground vibrated, and the stones rotated and rose to form descending steps, revealing a dark world of purple flames underneath.
"This is the Soul Cairn." Lu Zhengkang sighed sadly, "You are looking for your mother, so why am I not running for my mother?"
The eldest lady, who had been staring coldly at the troll man, immediately hesitated when she heard this. She pursed her lips and said nothing.
Lu Zhengkang stared deeply at the passage. Although the boiling flame burned upward, it had an inward attraction. The moment he saw the dark world, he felt the tremor of his heart and soul.
Whisper.
In a trance, there was another wonderful auditory hallucination: a piano melody sung softly and coldly as frost, a young woman humming a soft tune intermittently, and only after a long time there was a startled ethereal drum sound like the wind.
These music reminded Lu Zhengkang of the black and white photos, the dark
On the city streets, young people wearing loose trousers walked on the sidewalk where the wind and plastic were flying, leaving only a lonely figure behind. A broken and dirty car passed silently on the road beside him, and the sycamore trees shed their leaves little by little.
, the world is not only falling into a cold winter, but also falling into a dark night of despair.
There is a great fuzzy will looking at Lu Zhengkang, but it is not accurate to say this. It is the shape and outline that Lu Zhengkang tried very hard to see, but couldn't. This feeling is like: his head is pressed down tightly, only
He could look into the abyss, and that lofty existence was staring at his back on the unwatchable sky.
shudder.
Lu Zhengkang wanted to walk into the cairn, but was burned by the flames. It was not the pain caused by the high temperature, but the surprise of needle pricks.
He came to his senses and took a few steps back.
Serana suddenly said: "You can't go in unless..."
She suddenly became silent, and Lu Zhengkang looked at her.
He looked carefully at Serana's face for the first time.
The long-term seal has not brought any trace of weather to her. She is still the graceful vampire princess in the first era. Her dark golden pupils are shining with a beauty that transcends the world, and the faint scarlet in the whites of her eyes also hints at her desire for blood.
and stoic repression.
The beauty with natural eyebrows and eyes, but uncontrollably overflowing with sadness and pain, is like the heroine in every knight's story. She can give people infinite reveries. Assuming that she is a real person, her look will undoubtedly make people...
I empathize with her and am willing to grieve for her sorrow.
Lu Zhengkang thought of that problem again.
What is the biggest difference in life for immortal species?
There is no need to be anxious. After breaking away from the short-term fate of Duckweed and Asakusa, you can slow down some of the things you need to do. Such a magnanimity is unimaginable to ordinary people.
All physical or illusory existences have divinity if they have their greatness and beauty. Whales in the sea and giant elephants on land are worthy of secular worship.
Eternal life is God’s authority and man’s curse.
"...I don't really want to go find my mother." Serana said.
"Why?"
"I'm afraid that she has... I can't lose another family member."
Man is like a small boat on the long river of time. It will always capsize, so he will strive to move upstream.
God is like algae growing along the river. Its meager root system fixes it in the mud bottom. If the root system is broken and it is drifted with the current, what kind of pain will it be?
Lu Zhengkang didn't know it either, maybe even the Bodhisattva couldn't see through it.
How to differentiate between what is alive and whether it is material or spiritual?
Serana looked painful, "You go, I will help you, you go and accomplish everything you want to do, and I... I don't know what to do. If you see my mother, please tell her that I
Very well, if you haven't found her, please don't tell me."
Lu Zhengkang thought for a while and then "persuaded", "Your father is actually not dead yet, he was just imprisoned by me."
When Serana heard this, she immediately became angry and her anger and energy surged up, "Hey! That's not what you said before!"
The troll man smiled and said, "Let's go to the Soul Cairn together. You can see for yourself whether your mother is dead or alive. As for your father, his sins are difficult for even me to evaluate, but behind his ambition, there is more.
There is a deep conspiracy, and if you want to crack it, don't dwell on the past."
Serana crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "There is no need to persuade me, we are not so familiar yet... enemies."
