Many things only suddenly realize the meaning of their existence when you suddenly need them - but when you go to look for them again, you find to your amazement that things have changed.
For Ottoville, the "magic book" taken away by Lily was like this.
But to be precise, the so-called magic book cannot even be called a book. It is just a note he took while studying magic, and it is also the goal he has persisted in for half a century -
The theory and magic of different spaces.
For the earth's native wizards and ancient immortal species, magic may not be unfamiliar, but the idea of ​​a different space is still unbelievable and deviant. But Ottoville clearly knows that there is another world.
.
When Lily's mother Jasmine appeared, he fully understood this. This place called the earth has a parallel relationship with another plane, and her departure also made him become more obsessed with
To open up the passage between two worlds.
To this day, even before Lily disappeared, he locked himself in his laboratory and studied these whimsical magic.
He banned all servants, even his daughter, and even his own people from entering it. It was not because he was afraid that these research results would be stolen or anything else, it was just a simple protective measure.
Take the notebook taken away by Lily, for example. The language recorded in it is something that only Ottoville himself can understand. The unintelligible language is enough to make today's writers think that it is the nonsense of a madman.
Nonsense, the few specially drawn patterns are just simple, unclear prototypes - it can even be concluded that they are meaningless to other people.
Of course, and because of this, he felt safe placing every note he took in his study and numbering them.
And now, among the nearly forty or fifty notebooks, the note marked with the Roman numeral XIII has "happened" to disappear from the pile of completely numbered notes.
"...Gina, next time remember not to let Lily read those strange... comics, and don't let her have a wrong understanding of the vampires... Ah, no, maybe there will be no next time... Really, I just picked it up.
this……"
Ottoville sighed helplessly, and his weak thoughts made the little maid next to him panic.
"Huh? Isn't it because this number has a special meaning?" Although after so many years, Gina has become accustomed to vampires, but the devil... that kind of ominous symbol has changed when she understood that vampires really exist in this world.
Even more afraid of it.
"It's just a coincidence." Ottoville glanced at the missing hole on the bookshelf with a complicated expression, "But is it too much of a coincidence?"
A few hours after Lily disappeared, before the sun completely shone on the earth, Ottoville rushed to his residence as quickly as possible and began to confirm the parts that he had never paid attention to, those parts that were taken away by Lily a long time ago - for this reason
, he also brought along Gina, who was still a little undecided. After all, she was the one who knew best what Lily had taken away.
The first thing to check is your study room.
When Gina carefully pointed her foot to the position that was a little high for her, Ottoville's movements froze.
Should it be Lily's good luck or destiny? This note records the theory he and Jasmine discussed together that year - using a certain medium to create spatial coordinates and mapping oneself to another vague teleportation plane.
However, in the overall environment of the earth's plane, the scarcity of magic power directly led to the failure of this experiment.
Although as a vampire, his blood also has a certain amount of magic power, but this is not enough. The volatilization of the blood causes the loss of magic power. Even if a spell that can travel through time and space is drawn, it cannot be activated and tested, and it is of no use.
But his daughter, Lily, a hybrid born using forbidden magic, activated and used it in an almost nonsensical way.
Except for the parts that Lily seemed to have added for the sake of beauty, which changed the function of the entire magic circle a lot, the drawing materials and changes are the key points.
"Sure enough... is it because of the blood..."
Ottoville looked down at his palms.
Pale, stiff, and lifeless.
He clearly understood the difference between himself, Jasmine, and Lily.
Vampires, no matter how mysterious and noble some of them are, are essentially undead creatures - living corpses that can only survive by sucking blood.
The heart no longer beats, the blood no longer flows, and the body no longer ages. While gaining "immortality", it also loses what it should be like to be a human being.
If I could find something to replace it with, maybe...
"...Lord Ottoville?" Gina carefully looked at Ottoville who was looking at her hands in a daze. Ottoville looked gloomy and scary now.
"Nothing." Ottoville shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly, "Gina, since Lily is no longer here, you can come back to live with me."
"No." Gina looked at Ottoville and said firmly, "I will stay there until the eldest lady comes back... maybe... maybe one day the eldest lady will come back suddenly?"
It was hard for Ottoville to refute, because Lily modified the magic circle without authorization, so Ottoville would not be surprised by any accident. The best case scenario is that Lily was transported to the world where Jasmine is. Although that world is very dangerous, but
Presumably Jasmine will find Lily soon. If she is transported to other worlds... Ottoville is not very worried. Although his daughter has become a little decadent recently, she should be able to live normally with her abilities, right?
What worries Ottoville the most is that the instability of this magic circle will cause Lily to be teleported into the void and torn apart by the storm of the void. In this way, no matter what he does, he will be unable to recover.
In short... first try to find a way to re-operate the magic circle! Ottoville's eyes became dangerous... I heard that the seniors of the family have experienced the magic era, although because of his low status in the family, he did not have the opportunity to meet them.
Use magic, but according to the theory that the blood of the offspring of the first vampire will become thinner, if the magic in your body is inherited from your eldest relative Janet, then the blood in the fourth or even third generations of vampires several generations above should have
