Seeing the three people staring at him with bright eyes, vampire Augusto muttered "humble human beings" disdainfully in his heart to satisfy his sense of superiority.
Zhang Yuanqing said with a faint smile: "This guy despises us in his heart, knight, go up and slap him."
"Why don't you go?" Zhai Cai asked arrogantly, but still stepped forward and gave the vampire a slap in the face.
The majestic King of the Night has never experienced such grievances. However, the situation is compelling. The physical strength of the two young men is much stronger than his. The mysterious man wearing the mask has just leaked a breath, which makes him instinctively fear.
.
So I can only choose to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, not daring to have too many inner dramas, and honestly talk about the history of the Vampire Clan:
"There is a legend circulating among us vampires that the ancestor of the vampires is a god appointed by God King Odin to look after humans. But only the real senior leaders of the vampires know the truth.
"Actually, the ancestor of the blood race came to the mortal world to avoid being pursued by God King Odin. And the reason why Odin chased the ancestor was because the ancestor stole something from God King Odin!"
Is the ancestor of vampires related to Odin in Nordic mythology? I have never heard that there is a legend of vampires in Nordic mythology... Zhai Cai searched her knowledge reserves and was a little surprised.
In stories about witches, vampires and werewolves, the upright characters are often bounty hunters and the Holy See, and the Holy See’s profession belongs to the first area, leaning more towards Greek mythology.
Thoughts flashed in his mind, and he heard Yuanshi Tianzun ask:
"What was stolen?"
Mr. President translated simultaneously.
Vampire Augusto did not answer directly, but had his own rhythm:
"Legend has it that in the infinitely old age, in order to fight against the evil god who destroyed the world, the God King Odin hung himself on the trunk of the World Tree and pierced his heart with a spear. He sacrificed himself to the World Tree, thus
Gain supreme power - rune writing.
"The runes evolved into twenty-four kinds of magic, which are the source of all magic in the world. This was given to Odin by the World Tree. It is his power and support to control the gods. No living thing can peep.
"However, the two caterpillars on the World Tree took advantage of Odin's weakness to steal the power of death magic and life magic respectively.
"The caterpillar that stole the magic of death turned into a beautiful woman, and the caterpillar that stole the magic of life turned into a handsome man.
"The god-king Odin was furious and set a curse with his godhead, cursing the death magic to corrupt women and turn them into gloomy and evil witches. She and her descendants will be tortured by fire.
"The cursed life magic corrodes men and turns them into demons in the night. Future generations will never be able to touch the sun and live in darkness forever. They will feed on blood and will be hated and despised by humans forever.
"Those two caterpillars are the witch and the ancestors of the vampire clan."
The three of them looked at each other, and the single knight looked at the president: "Is this legend credible?"
The president was deep in thought, neither confirming nor denying.
Zhang Yuanqing whispered: "It should be true."
Mr. President and Zhai Cai turned their attention to him.
Zhang Yuanqing explained: "I once entered a special dungeon where I witnessed the arrival of the demon species. There was a cardinal in the dungeon. He told me that the witch's black magic is a branch of rune magic."
So, the power of vampires and witches comes from rune magic? Zhai Cai frowned:
"But I remember that it is recorded in the Holy See's books that vampires are aberrations."
The president translated his words to vampire Augusto, who sneered:
"That is the shameless Holy See's attempt to smear our vampire race and describe us as such low-level creatures."
The president suddenly asked:
"As a vampire living in the Middle Ages, you should know that Nordic mythology and Greek mythology, the Holy See's wind and thunder wizards, knights, alcoholics, Breaking Bad, etc., all belong to the Greek mythology system.
"The vampires stole power from Odin's rune magic. They should belong to Norse mythology. Why are you mixed up in the factions of Greek mythology?"
He asked this question mainly because he wanted to clarify the relationship and timeline of the two major mythological factions in ancient times.
Vampire Augusto said:
"Isn't what I just said clear enough? The ancestor of the blood race stole Odin's power, so of course he had to flee. He and the ancestor of the witches fled from the southern continent to the distant northern continent.
"The division of territory between the gods is very strict, and they have reached an agreement of non-aggression in the infinitely ancient times. Therefore, Odin cannot send soldiers to chase them. Well, this is what I heard from the seniors of the vampire clan."
In ancient times, several major mythological systems coexisted, and each was aware of their existence... Zhang Yuanqing suddenly thought, would the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors also know about the gods in Nordic mythology and Greek mythology?
But in Chinese folk myths and stories, foreign gods have never appeared.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard his uncle say something in Italian in a low tone:
"The deeds of the ancestor of the blood race are infinitely long-lasting to you. In the era you lived in, Odin ceased to exist long ago. You, the descendants of the blood race, never returned to your homeland?"
"Of course." Vampire Augusto showed a hint of confusion:
"I have traveled all over the European continent. If I didn't hate the life of wandering at sea, I would even choose to go to sea and see the outside world.
"But after traveling all over the European continent, I have never come into contact with extraordinary creatures in the Nordic mythology system, except for werewolves.
"Yes, werewolves are also extraordinary creatures in the Nordic mythology system, but their bloodline is not pure. They are the descendants of ice and fire demon wolves. The pure bloodline of ice and fire demon wolves have long been extinct."
After his uncle translated it, Zhang Yuanqing immediately remembered the prop Little Red Riding Hood, and the profession it belonged to was the Ice and Fire Demon Wolf.
Fu Qingyang checked the information at first, but could not find any information about the Ice and Fire Demonic Wolf, so he speculated that it was an unopened profession in the third area.
The information is correct.
Zhai Cai clicked his tongue and said: "In medieval legends, the notorious witches, werewolves and vampires are all from the third district?"
After saying that, he saw the president's serious expression and asked in a low voice: "What do you think?"
Mr. President said solemnly:
"We all know that there are three major areas in the spiritual realm. The first and second areas have been opened, but the third area has not yet been opened. We know very little information about the third area.
"The number of professions, abilities, relics, etc. in the third area have never appeared before.
"I have searched for the third area in the spiritual realm and reality for several years, and found several props that were suspected to be from the third area, but these props were found in the ruins of the first area.
"It belongs to the time when the two major myths came into contact. Strictly speaking, it does not belong to the third major area."
He looked at the two young men and said:
"Therefore, a strange phenomenon occurred. Where have the ancient practitioners in the third area gone? Of course, we cannot find the ancient practitioners in the first and second areas in history. Only through dungeons can we find the ancient practitioners in the first and second areas.
Uncover the mystery of ancient practitioners.
"The third area has not yet been opened, and we cannot find that the ancient practitioners in this area are normal, but this vampire is an ancient practitioner from a thousand years ago.
"It stands to reason that in his time, he should have come into contact with the ancient practitioners in the third region."
Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai looked at each other and finally reacted.
"It's indeed not normal," Zhai Cai thought, "In other words, the practitioners in the third area perished a thousand years ago?"
Zhang Yuanqing raised the corner of his mouth: "Why are you thinking so much? Just ask this guy. Since the ancestors of the blood clan came from the third area, their descendants must have studied Nordic mythology. Tracing and studying ancestors is all wisdom.
The commonality of life.”
The other party is an intelligent and advanced creature. I am afraid that similar matters have been studied and pursued for a long time. They do not need to use their brains to guess. They can just ask directly.
The uncle told the vampire Augusto about his nephew's request. The latter shook his head and said:
"Our understanding of the gods of Norse mythology comes from myths and legends. Many extraordinary creatures believe that Odin and the gods do not exist. Apart from myths and legends, there is no evidence that the Norse gods existed. Only witches and
Only the strong men of the vampire race know that the Nordic gods really existed. But they perished in Ragnarok."
Mr. President asked in a low tone:
"You extraordinary creatures, what speculations and researches do you have about Ragnarok?"
"It was the evil god who destroyed the world who came to the earth and destroyed the Nordic gods." Augusto said.
"Since it is the evil body that destroys the world, why didn't it destroy you too and only destroy the Nordic gods?" the president asked.
Vampire Augusto suddenly became speechless. He was silent for a few seconds and then said angrily:
"I am a noble vampire and the King of the Night, not a historian!"
The three of them ignored him and started communicating with each other.
Zhang Yuanqing said:
"A terrible disaster did occur in ancient times, which led to the death of Emperor Wa, the administrator of the second district. In Greek mythology, there were similar disasters. I think Ragnarok in Nordic mythology also refers to that disaster.
disaster."
Uncle said "hmm":
"But the problem is that after the disaster in the first and second districts, the order was restored and ancient practitioners came into being. But in the third district, something unexpected happened and the inheritance was cut off. This may be the reason
The reason why the third region has not been opened yet.”
"What is certain is that the third area was affected far more than the first and second areas." Zhang Yuanqing said: "The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf probably fled to the second area during that disaster, and then the werewolves were reproduced.
, the entire mythological system, only one profession escaped."
"That's not right!" The uncle agreed with the first half of what his nephew said, but disagreed with the second half. "The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf is an evil profession, and evil professions are foreign professions. The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf did not escape from that disaster, but
He was born in that disaster, survived by chance, and wandered to the First District."
Shan Chuan Knight glanced at Yuanshi Tianzun, then at Mr. President, and muttered:
"The information you are discussing is too high-end. Can you consider the feelings of a low-level person like me?"
"Want to know high-end information? It depends on what you are willing to exchange." Zhang Yuanqing patted the shoulder of the single knight, and immediately looked at the vampire in the coffin:
"What should I do with this guy? Kill him and turn him into an Inferi, seal him back, or train him to become a red stick in the gang?"
Mr. President smiled and said:
"It's a pity that a world-class protected animal has been transformed into an Inferi. However, this guy is wild and untamable, ferocious and violent. He is an untrained white-eyed wolf. He can be controlled at ordinary times, but is prone to backstabbing at critical moments. Let's leave it to a single knight.
"Only the power of the knight's contract can control him."
Having said this, he looked at Zhai Cai and added: "This guy counts as two level 7 domination props."
Zhai Cai shrugged: "No problem!"
In his opinion, a vampire with a long life and difficult to kill is more useful than two props of the same level. After all, the props have no intelligence and require payment of a price.
So, he took out the knight's sword, inserted it in front of him, pressed the hilt of the sword with both hands, and said in a deep voice:
"Vampire Augusto, I, Zhai Cai, in the name of a knight, sign a contract with you to become a master and servant. We will never betray and help each other until the end of our lives.
"Would you like to?"
His temperament became sacred and solemn, and his body faintly glowed with a brassy halo.
The uncle translated his words to Augusto, "You only need to answer: Are you willing or unwilling?"
Augusto's face was full of resistance, even disgust, and he said solemnly: "What will happen if I refuse!"
"We will seal you back in the coffin." Seeing that Augusto was about to refuse, my uncle added leisurely: "Let me remind you first that after the destruction of the Holy See, the treasure house fell into a strange space. Except for us who have the key, no one will
If someone enters here again, that means you will continue to sleep until the end of your life."
"I don't believe it!" Augusto said loudly, he wanted to wait for the next group of treasure hunters.
"What is your identity that makes me worthy of lying to you?" the uncle said with a smile.
Augusto's expression became distorted, and his sharp black nails scratched traces on the silver coffin body.
After a long struggle and weighing, he finally compromised:
"I would like to..."
The uncle nodded towards Zhai Cai.
Zhai Cai said solemnly: "Donate your blood."
Augusto, who had dealt with knights, cut his wrist with sharp nails and directed the black blood to fly towards the knight's sword.
The blood instantly merged into the sword body, and a strong and bright brass light spread like ripples.
Somehow, it seems that rules have been established and the contract has been witnessed.
Zhai Cai took back the straight sword and said calmly: "Walk with me!"
The president held a gas lamp, passed by the silver coffin, and continued forward. Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai followed like horses, and behind them was the unwilling vampire Augusto.
But soon, his attention was attracted by the weapons hanging on the wall not far away.
The president leading the way also stopped.
I saw three props hanging on the wall, a cane wrapped around a cyan air current, about one meter long, completely white, the body of the cane seemed to be made of white jade, and the head of the cane was a pair of angel wings carved from jade.
A silver knight's straight sword with a cross on the hilt. The blade is sharp and reflects the warm firelight emitted by the gas lamp. After half a year, there is no rust.
A half-meter-tall wooden doll, the image of a grinning boy.
There are three brass boxes placed against the wall, with locks added, and the boxes are engraved with sealing patterns.
The uncle's tone was a bit cheerful: "They are all at the master level."
Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai rushed forward like hungry tigers attacking sheep.
