This is an extremely spacious underground cave with oil lamps lit all around. In the center of the cave, there are dozens of black wooden coffins with complex and mysterious patterns painted in gold on the surface of these coffins.
These dozens of coffins are the foundation that has enabled the Hawke family to stand tall and prosper for thousands of years. In each coffin lies a Baron Hawke.
"We have the same ancestors, and we have the same blood. We are here to pray for the protection of our ancestors, and we are calling on you with our blood..."
The ancient spell echoed throughout the underground cave like a ballad. All the vampires looked solemn, chanting in low voices, their faces hidden under the hoods of their formal dresses.
Soon, the first vampire stepped forward and walked to a coffin at the edge. He cut his wrist with his fingernails, and blood gushed out and flowed towards the coffin.
The blood flowed onto the coffin and immediately disappeared as if it had been swallowed. After the vampire released about one-third of the blood, the wound healed automatically, and his originally fair face looked even paler and weaker.
Soon, the second vampire came up and took his place, repeating the previous action, cutting his wrists and dripping blood onto the coffin.
In this way, hundreds of vampires each sacrificed one-third of their own blood, wanting to use the blood to summon their ancestors to wake up.
After all the vampires had sacrificed their blood, some vampires 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 made for these grooves.
There were dozens of magic gems, each of which was priceless, but in the hands of these vampires, they were just like ordinary stones on the roadside, and they were casually placed in the grooves on the coffin without any look of pity.
When the last magic gem was placed, these magic gems suddenly glowed, and each one emitted a magical flame more than a foot long.
After the flame lasted for more than ten seconds, all the magic gems began to shatter with a "crackling" sound. After a while, the flame became scattered and finally disappeared. The priceless magic gems in the grooves on the surface of the coffin also turned into fine powder.
A heavy sigh sounded from the coffin.
"Who is disturbing my sleep..."
Creak~ A sharp friction sound was heard, and the coffin lid was slowly pushed open, and a dry hand stretched out from the coffin.
Then, a man in luxurious clothes and with an old face slowly sat up from the coffin.
"Ancestors, the current Baron Hawke has passed away. We have no choice but to start the awakening ceremony to wake you from your slumber!" A vampire knelt in front of the coffin and explained.
"Hehehe, the modern Baron Hawke has fallen?" The old man sat in the coffin, and seemed to enjoy the feeling in the coffin and was not in a hurry to come out.
Upon hearing about the death of the contemporary Baron Hawke, a fierce look appeared on the old man's face. The contemporary Baron Hawke is the old man's direct relative. In other words, this old man is the father of the contemporary Baron Hawke.
However, according to the rules of the Hawke family, each generation of Baron Hawke can only be in office for a hundred years, and then he must fall into a deep sleep to accumulate blood energy and prepare for future promotions. At the same time, it is also to make way for future generations. After all, it is difficult for an old antique who has survived for hundreds of years to adapt to the rapid development of the times in terms of thinking. Letting an old antique with conservative ideas lead the entire family is likely to bring the entire family into the abyss.
These are lessons learned through blood. The Hawke family has been in danger of destruction several times in history, but fortunately they were lucky and managed to survive, so there are such rules.
"Charlie..." The old man read his son's name, and recalled the scenes when he was with his son.
"Dongfang, sir!" The vampire kneeling in front of the coffin said loudly, "In order to save Master Colin's life, Baron Hawke went to the mysterious ancient East in person to look for an item called A-level demon blood transformation potion, but he died there..."
"Master Colin?" The old man frowned and asked, "Charlie has his own child? Bring him here, let me see him!"
When the old man fell into a deep sleep, Hawke had no offspring of his own. Now Colin counted that he should be his grandson. The fertility of the blood race is very weak, and most of them are single-line descendants. It is said that they are cursed and cannot have a second offspring.
This is why Hawke would spend so much money to treat Colin's hemofusion disease.
When Colin was brought to the underground cave, the old man who had come out of the coffin glanced at him and immediately frowned.
Colin is a mixed-blood. The moment he appeared, the old man could already sense the mixture of his blood. At the same time, the hemofusion disease also made Colin look very weak. After standing for only a while, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Child, come here!" The old man stretched out his right hand towards Colin and said kindly.
Colin took a deep breath and staggered towards the old man. The old man looked at the weak young man in front of him, feeling a trace of blood connection between him and the other man, and couldn't help but sigh.
When Colin walked to the old man, the old man gently touched Colin's hair and asked softly: "Child, your father, my son, is dead. Do you want to avenge him?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Grandfather, I think so!" Colin nodded vigorously and said.
"Okay, kid!" The old man smiled and signaled for someone to take Colin away.
"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 sacrifice 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 showed a look of panic on his face.
"This is the only chance for the child to survive!" The old man's face was as gloomy as water, and he said sternly: "If he cannot bear the blessing of the Blood God, it means that the Blood God has already rejected the Hawke family. Then, the Hawke family has no reason to exist!"
The old man at this time has become the new Baron Hawke again. His words cannot be disobeyed. 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's blessing sacrifice requires the blood of a million people as sacrifice. By then, the Hawke family will probably become the target of public criticism. This will be the family's biggest crisis..."
