Seeing the three people staring at him with sharp eyes, the vampire Augusto muttered disdainfully in his heart, "lowly human." to satisfy his own sense of superiority.
Zhang Yuanqing smiled and said, "This guy despises us in his heart. Let's go up and give him a slap."
"Why don't you go?" Zhai Cai asked back in a confrontational manner, but still stepped forward and slapped the vampire.
How could the King of Night suffer such injustice before, but the situation was pressing.
The two young-looking men were much stronger than him in physical strength. The mysterious masked man just leaked a trace of his breath and made him feel fear instinctively.
He could only choose to endure the humiliation and not have too many inner thoughts. He honestly talked about the history of the blood clan: "There is a legend circulating among us vampires that the ancestor of the blood clan was appointed by the god king Odin to guard the human gods in the world, but only the real blood clan leaders know the truth."
"In fact, the original ancestor of the blood clan came to the mortal world to avoid being hunted down by the God King Odin. The reason why Odin hunted down the original ancestor was that the original ancestor stole something from the God King Odin!"
"The ancestor of vampires is related to Odin in Norse mythology? I haven't heard of any vampire legends in Norse mythology." Zhai Cai was a little surprised as he searched his own knowledge reserves.
In stories about witches, vampires, and werewolves, the righteous characters are often bounty hunters and the church.
The Vatican professions in the first region are more inclined towards Greek mythology.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, he heard Yuanshi Tianzun ask, "What was stolen?"
Mr. Hui Chang provided simultaneous translation.
Vampire Augusto did not answer directly, but had his own rhythm: "Legend has it that in the ancient times, 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 and obtained the supreme power - the runes. The runes evolved into fourteen kinds of magic, which are the source of all magic in the world. This is what the world tree gave to Odin, and it is also the power and support for him to rule over the gods. No living creature can peek."
"However, two caterpillars on the World Tree took advantage of Odin's weakness and stole 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 he used his godhood to curse, cursing that the magic of death would corrupt women and turn them into evil witches of darkness. She and her descendants would be punished by fire. He cursed that the magic of life would corrupt men and turn them into demons of the night. Their descendants would never be able to touch the sun and would live in darkness forever."
"They will feed on blood and will always be hated and despised by mankind."
"Those two caterpillars are the ancestors of witches and vampires."
The three of them looked at each other.
The single knight looked at Mr. Huichang and asked, "Is this legend credible?"
Huichang fell into deep thought, neither confirming nor denying.
Zhang Yuanqing whispered, "It should be true."
Mr. Huichang and Zhai Cai turned their eyes to him. Zhang Yuanqing explained, "I once entered a special copy, where I witnessed the arrival of the demon species. There was a cardinal in the copy. 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 the records in the Church's books that vampires are deformed beings."
Hui Chang translated his words to the vampire Augusto, who sneered: "It is the shameless Church that is smearing our blood race and describing us as inferior creatures."
Mr. Huichang suddenly asked: "You are a vampire living in the Middle Ages. You should know Norse mythology and Greek mythology. The wind and thunder wizards, knights, alcoholics, and the bad guys in the church all belong to the Greek mythology system."
"The blood race is a power stolen from Odin's rune magic. It should belong to Norse mythology. Why are you mixed up in Greek mythology?"
He asked this question mainly to clarify the relationship and timeline of the major mythological factions in ancient times.
Vampire Augusto said, "What I just said was not clear enough? The ancestor of the blood clan stole Odin's power, so of course he had to flee. He and the ancestor of the witch fled from the southern continent to the distant northern continent."
"The division of territories between gods is very strict, and they reached a non-aggression agreement in ancient times. So Odin can't send warriors to hunt us down. Well, I heard this from the vampire elders."
In ancient times, several mythological systems coexisted and were aware of their own existence.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly thought, could the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors also know the gods in Norse and Greek mythology?
But foreign gods have never appeared in Chinese folk mythology. He was thinking about this when he heard his uncle speak in a low voice in Italian: "The deeds of the ancestor of the blood clan are infinitely long ago for you. Odin no longer existed when you lived. Have you, the descendants of the blood clan, ever returned to your homeland?"
"Of course, Vampire Augusto showed a trace of confusion. My footprints have already spread all over the European continent. If I didn't hate the life of drifting on the sea, I would even choose to go out to sea and see the outside world."
"But having traveled all over Europe, I have never come across any supernatural creatures in the Norse mythology system except werewolves."
"Yes, werewolves are also extraordinary creatures in the Norse mythology system, but their bloodline is not pure. They are descendants of ice and fire magic wolves. The pure bloodline ice and fire magic wolves have long been extinct."
After his uncle translated it, Zhang Yuanqing immediately remembered the item Little Red Riding Hood. The profession it belonged to was the Ice and Fire Demon Wolf. Fu Qingyang had searched through all the information at the time, but could not find any information about the Ice and Fire Demon Wolf. He guessed that it was the third major area profession that had not been opened.
The information is correct.
Zhai Cai said with a click of his tongue, "The notorious witches, wolves, and vampires in medieval legends are all from the third largest district."
After saying this, he looked at Mr. Chang with a serious expression and asked, "What do you think?"
The president said in a deep voice, "We all know that there are three major areas in the Spirit Realm. The first and second areas have been opened, while the third area has not yet been opened. We know very little about the information about the third area."
"The number of professions, abilities, and ruins in the third district have never appeared before. I have searched for the third district in the spiritual world and reality for several years and found several items that are suspected to be from the third district, but these items were found in the ruins of the first district."
"It was passed down when the two myths came into contact. Strictly speaking, it does not belong to the third region."
He looked at the two young men and said, "So, a strange phenomenon has occurred. Where did the ancient practitioners from the third district go? Of course, we can't find the ancient practitioners from the first and second districts in history. Only through the dungeon can we uncover the mystery of the ancient practitioners."
"The third area has not yet been opened, so it is normal that we cannot find ancient practitioners in this area, but this vampire is an ancient practitioner from a thousand years ago. Logically speaking, in his era, he should have had intersections with the ancient practitioners in the third area."
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 district had already perished a thousand years ago?"
Zhang Yuanqing raised his lips and said, "Why think so much? Just ask this family directly. Since the ancestor of the blood clan came from the third district, their descendants must have studied Norse mythology. Tracing and studying ancestors is a common feature of all intelligent life."
The other party is an intelligent higher being. They must have studied and investigated similar things long ago. There is no need for them to rack 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, "As for the gods in Norse mythology, our knowledge 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 powerful vampires know that the Norse gods really existed. But they perished in Ragnarok."
Mr. Huichang asked in a low voice: "You extraordinary creatures, what speculations and research do you have about Ragnarok?"
"It was the evil god who destroyed the world who came to the Weasel and destroyed the Norse gods." Augusto said.
"Since it is the evil body that destroys the world, why didn't it destroy you as well, but only destroyed the Norse gods!" Hui Chang asked back.
The vampire Augusto was speechless for a few seconds, then said angrily: "I am a noble vampire, the king of the night, not a historian!"
The three ignored him and started talking to each other.
Zhang Yuanqing said, "In ancient times, a terrible disaster did occur, which caused the death of the administrator of the second largest area, Queen Wa. There is also a similar disaster in Greek mythology. I think Ragnarok in Norse mythology also refers to that disaster."
My uncle hummed, "But the problem is that after the disaster, the first and second districts regained order and ancient practitioners emerged. But in the third district, no one knows what happened and the inheritance was cut off. This may be the reason why the third district has not been opened yet."
"What is certain is that the impact on the third area is far greater than that on the first mountain area," said Zhang Yuanqing. "The Ice and Fire Demon Wolves should have fled to the second area during the disaster, and then the werewolves were born. In the entire mythology system, only one profession escaped."
"No!" The uncle agreed with the first half of his nephew's words but not the second half. The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf was an evil profession and the evil profession was an alien profession. The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf did not escape from the disaster but was born in the disaster and survived by chance and wandered to the first district.
Shan Chuanqi Tu looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, then looked at Mr. Huichang and muttered, "You two are asking for trouble.
The intelligence is too high-end, can you please consider the feelings of a low-level spiritualist like me? "
"If you want to know the high-end intelligence, it depends on what you are willing to exchange for it." Zhang Yuanqing patted the shoulder of the knight.
He then looked at the vampire in the coffin and asked, "What should we do with this guy? Kill him and turn him into a corpse for me, or seal him back, or train him into a red stick for the gang."
Mr. Huichang smiled and said, "It's a world-class protected animal. It's a pity to turn it into a Yin corpse. But this guy is wild and hard to tame. He is cruel and violent. He is an ungrateful wolf. He can be controlled at ordinary times, but he is easy to backstab at critical moments. Let's leave it to the single-pass knight."
"Only the power of the knight's contract can control him." Having said that, he looked at Zhai Cai and added, "This guy is a level 7 master item."
Zhai Cai shrugged. “No problem.”
In his opinion, a minion of a vampire with a long life and difficult to kill is more useful than two props of the same level. After all, props have no wisdom and require a price to be paid.
So, he took out the Knight's Sword, inserted it in front of him, held the hilt with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Vampire: Augusto, I, Zhai Cai, sign a contract with you in the name of the Knight. We will become master and servant and never betray each other. We will help each other until the end of our lives. Are you willing?"
His temperament became sacred and solemn, and his body exuded a faint brassy halo.
His uncle translated his words to Augusto, "You just need to answer: yes or no."
Augusto's face was full of resistance, even disgust, and he said in a deep voice: "What will happen if I refuse?"
"We will seal you back into the coffin." Seeing that Augusto was about to refuse, the uncle added leisurely: "Let me remind you first, after the fall of the Church, the treasury fell into a strange space. No one except us who have the key can enter here, which means you will continue to sleep until the end of your life."
"I don't believe it!" Augusto shouted. He wanted to wait for the next batch of treasure hunters.
"Who are you to make me lie to you?" said my uncle with a smile.
Augusto's expression twisted, and his sharp black nails left scratches on the silver coffin.
After much struggle and weighing, he finally compromised and said "I do"
My uncle nodded towards Zhai Cai.
Zhai Cai said in a deep voice: "Donate your blood."
Augusto, who had fought with the knights before, cut his wrist with his sharp fingernails and guided the black blood to fly towards the knight's sword.
The blood instantly merged into the sword, and a strong and bright brass light spread out like ripples.
There seems to be some rules established to witness the contract.
Zhai Cai retracted his straight sword and said calmly: "Come with me!"
The president, holding a gas lamp, passed the silver coffin and continued forward. Zhang Yuanqing and Zhai Cai followed behind like lackeys, along with the reluctant vampire Augusto.
But soon, his attention was attracted by the weapons hanging on the wall not far away, and the president who was leading the way in front also stopped.
There were three props hanging on the wall, including a power walking stick wrapped with green airflow, about one meter long and pure white. The stick body seemed to be made of white jade, and the top of the stick was a pair of jade-carved angel wings.
A silver straight sword with a cross on the hilt and a sharp blade reflecting the warm light from the gas lamp. After half a year, there is no trace of rust on the half-meter-tall wooden doll, which is a grinning boy.
There was a brass box with a lock on the wall, and it was engraved with a seal array. My uncle said with a bit of pleasure: "They are all master-level."
Zhang Yuanjiaqing and Zhai Cai rushed forward like hungry tigers pouncing on sheep.
