Chapter 756 Inherited Blood
Those who receive the first embrace will awaken their ability to sense qi and become descendants of the blood clan. This is also the way for the Natatin nobles to expand their power. However, this forced awakening method will continuously weaken the strength of the bloodline, and it can generally only be extended two or three times. Those descendants are not heirs in the usual sense, but more precisely, they should be master-slave relationships.
The inheritance ceremony is to inherit everything from oneself to the next generation. Both parties are in an equal relationship, and the latter can also have the lifespan and strength of the former, similar to the continuation of the listener. Once the inheritance ceremony is completed, the blood of the mistress will be greatly damaged, and she will become no different from ordinary people in a short period of time. Even if she can recover later, she will never return to her previous peak level.
As a blood clan with a very long lifespan, generally only when they are tired of the world or seriously injured will they choose the next generation they like to hold the inheritance ceremony. Since most blood clans die in long sleep accidents, few of them die of old age, so this technique is almost lost, and only the Natatin royal family will learn it.
After listening to Hualin's explanation, Xia Fan sighed for a while.
Obviously, Mistress Stitch did this to accompany Prince Yong.
She even gave her most precious bloodline as a gift to the crystallization of both parties.
Entering dormancy in such a state is obviously not a safe approach.
The final result is that the mistress, like most vampires, never woke up from a long dream.
The former Yong Dynasty did not regard monsters as mortal enemies. Monsters recognized by the government office could even walk on the streets openly. Such a situation must be inseparable from the attitude of the Yongwang.
Princess Muye and Felayton were silent for a long time, and finally the latter broke the silence and said, "That girl... is the successor of the mistress..."
"It should be correct." Hualin affirmed, "The Zodiac Key can use her blood to guide us to the tomb of the mistress, which proves that her connection with the mistress is better than anyone in the royal family. I just didn't expect that her blood level is higher than that of the first embrace."
Xia Fan naturally knew who the girl they were talking about was.
"But Qianyan doesn't look like a real vampire, right?"
The most obvious difference is the mind and magic.
Whether it is the first embrace or the shadow, they are abilities that high-level vampires are born with. Qianyan's mind and magic are of the Kan type, and she is good at turning water into ice, just like other living dead.
"She is indeed not a vampire." Hualin nodded, "This may be a special case - as the child of the king of the Eastern Empire, she may have received some blessings from Prince Yong, which caused some changes in her body and became what she is now."
"After that, Qianyan was taken out of Baiyao Mountain by the remaining people and finally lived in seclusion in the Fang family?" Xia Fan pondered, "The rest of the living dead are probably also due to Qianyan's bloodline."
"That should be the case..." Feleton agreed, "That child... No, although Lady Qianyan is not a vampire and does not know the method of the first embrace, the power flowing in her blood will not lie. It should not be difficult for the Fang family to obtain descendants through other means."
If so, everything makes sense. Xia Fan thought, why do the living dead have a long lifespan, why their bodies are frozen in a certain period of time, and why their memories are lost after resurrection from serious injuries... All of this is because of Qianyan. Her blood power is not complete, which is completely different from the naturally born monsters like Li. The Qi given by Prince Yong is also playing a role. Therefore, in a sense, the living dead can be regarded as artificial monsters. If the original blood is not extracted from Qianyan, this lineage will disappear completely sooner or later.
He can also understand why Qianyan's life experience was completely erased. After all, she is the descendant of Prince Yong and a Qi sensor who combines the power of the two clans. If such an existence is publicized, she will either ascend to the throne in a sea of blood and corpses, or be annihilated by the court.
Facts have proved that Qianyan's identity has been kept strictly confidential. Not only does she not know her origins, she has even served the Yong Dynasty for a period of time and overthrown the rule of the last Prince Yong in the war of the six countries. The group of people who took Qianyan away from the mountains may be the founder of the Fang family, but the head of the family has never revealed a word to future generations except passing down the coins.
Only when Qianyan wants to find this life experience herself, it is possible to unlock the seal in the skylight and peek at these murals that have been sealed for more than a hundred years.
"What are you going to do?" Xia Fan looked at Princess Muye and Felayton.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Hua Lin spoke, "Since the mistress wants to rest in peace with Prince Yong, we will naturally respect her decision and reseal this tomb. As for the background of the new mistress, we want to leave the decision to you."
"Me?" Xia Fan said in surprise.
"Yes. After all, Lord Qianyan is not from Natatin, and she should not be very interested in the power struggle of Silisti. It will not make much difference for her to know this life experience or keep it secret." Hualin said slowly, "I can see that Lord Qianyan trusts you, so it is most appropriate for you to decide whether to tell the truth."
"...I know." Xia Fan pondered for a while, nodded and replied, "What about Your Highness the Princess? Now that the mystery of the whereabouts of the mistress has been solved, where are you going next?"
"I also want to follow the footsteps of the mistress one day, visit the wonders of the Eastern Continent, and then find a suitable place as my own eternal tomb." Hualin smiled calmly, "But before that, Jinxia City is good. And the bank has just opened for business, you should also need Mr. Sanyan's help, right?"
"Of course." Xia Fan smiled back, "Besides, I can guarantee that no matter where you go in the future, Jinxia City will always have a place for you."
…
The next day, Xia Fan was also preparing to return to Jinxia City from Baiyao Mountains.
He and Mo Yun spent a whole night selecting a large number of standard talismans that could be put into use immediately, and planned to build a small transmission station first to verify the feasibility of energy transmission between the two places. It is important to learn the system knowledge stored in the Tianjing database, but it is also urgent to convert Tianjing resources into real benefits.
King Yong already knows everything that happened in the Tianjing District, and the Seven Star Privy Council will obviously not sit back and watch the previous failure in the battle for Yazhou Harbor. Jinxia City must digest and absorb the power of the escape tower as soon as possible in order to more safely deal with the challenges posed by the enemy.
As for Si Kong watching from the patio, he wasn't worried about his opponent being able to infiltrate for a while.
But the moment the carriage door opened, Xia Fan and others suddenly saw a woman they had never seen before——
"The special train to the mountain climbing station is about to leave. Please wear protective clothing and take your seats in order." She raised her hand and said, "I will provide services to you all the way."
