Chapter 481 Door?
Yzaks once said this: The history recorded by short-lived races is not credible, because they have short lifespans and are easily trapped by their own emotions, so their records always undergo fatal deviations after a few generations. , now it seems that this statement is not false at all.
If it weren't for the chance to see a portrait of a witch that had not been tampered with because it was stored in a different space, and if Vivian's unreliable memory finally gave it a little boost, no one would have thought that there were three legends about the Andre family. The century-old witch legend actually refers to this poor vampire: The truth back then was actually very simple. A poor vampire met two humans by chance, and after they had ruined their lives, he felt deeply guilty, so After killing an angry spirit, she gave the loot to the two men as gifts. The descendants of one of them are today's Andre family.
As for how these descendants accumulated such wealth, how they built a castle in this ominous place, and how they were haunted by angry spirits for three hundred years, it is probably difficult to find out-but there is a rough outline. The process can still be guessed.
There must be something wrong with Vivian's seal, and there's definitely something weird about the "gift" she left for Andre's ancestor.
Vivian found a way to deal with the angry spirit from her own memory, and finally remembered why the angry spirit was bound to this world.
"This hall... wasn't originally like this," Vivian pointed around. "It was rebuilt by Andre's descendants over a hundred years. They expanded the original crypt and reinforced it with boulders. This place. But I can still feel some aura left in the hall...it's the blood seal I left back then. Based on this aura, I should be able to find the location of the seal."
Hao Ren conveniently put Vivian's portrait into his personal space, then stood up and pushed open the heavy door in the hall: "It's not too late."
The ancient rotten hinges made a creaking sound, and the cold wind suddenly swept in from the outside, mixed with gray-white snowflakes: the angry spirit seemed to be recovering quickly, and the snowstorm that was originally far away from this small mound has now gathered, and this The blizzard is the intense malice of that spirit creature. There is a faint glimmer of light floating in the deep darkness outside, and some ancient and malicious energy is watching.
Nangong Wuyue created a water mist shield to withstand the increasingly intense blizzard, and asked Vivian to lead the way. As Vivian walked, she recalled what happened that year: "I remember that I defeated the angry spirit in a cave. There is... there is a door in that cave, and the angry spirit entered the material world through that door. At that time, the angry spirit also created a different space, but it was not as large as this one. I feel that we are in the original cave now—— Andre’s descendants must have built the castle on the site of the original seal.”
Lily raised her claw blade to illuminate the surroundings and looked at the vast dark snowfield: "...I don't think this is a cave."
"Speaking of which, your memory is really hopeless." Nangong Wuyue was surrounded by strands of water and separated from the surrounding wind and snow while teasing Vivian, "Three hundred years ago was not that long ago. Is it something?"
"The main reason is that I didn't think of it here at once," Vivian was a little embarrassed, "This place has changed too much, and the Andre I knew back then was just an unlucky wool merchant, and the seal I left was just underground. A big stone in the depths - who would have known that three hundred years later this place would develop into a big family and an ancient castle? Three hundred years...man-made things change too fast."
Hao Ren said that he could accept this statement because he still couldn't remember the name of his primary school teacher. Facts have proved that people can easily forget things that they don't care about.
And more importantly, it is difficult for Vivian to associate an extremely wealthy family with herself: as early as the time when Cleopatra was killed by a group of Romans, she no longer expected that she could be associated with anyone. Rich people make connections…
Bai Huo has been looking at Vivian curiously. This strange demon hunter behaves very differently from other demon hunters when surrounded by aliens. Not only is she calm and calm, but she also does not hide her affection for this group of people. interest. Of course Vivian noticed the other person's gaze: "Why are you looking at me?"
"You are... abnormal, different from what I imagined," Bai Huo said calmly, "and different from what I read in the book. Many elders among the demon hunters are very afraid of you, and they are even a little in awe of you. , they call you the Ancient One, and advise the younger generation not to have any conflict with you even if they meet you. I thought you were a stubborn and eccentric guy, and moody: when the young witcher mentioned you It’s all speculation.”
Lily suddenly became happy, so of course she let Vivian punch her.
"You are also different from the demon hunters I know." Vivian also looked at Bai Huo unscrupulously, and at the same time raised her finger to Nan Gong Sanba, "Of course this is not included: the one next to him is a problem child, let's not discuss it for now. . The demon hunters I have seen are as stubborn as stones. They only have naked murderous intentions after seeing aliens. But you are very strange. I can feel that you are hostile at the beginning, but you never have murderous intentions. Now... even the hostility has subsided."
Bai Huo nodded: "My mentor said the same thing about me, and he has been trying to cultivate my killing instinct against aliens, but it doesn't seem to have much effect. The elders said that I should naturally become hostile when I see aliens, but I find this very strange: why should I be hostile to a creature I don’t understand at all, or even seen?”
As he said that, Bai Huo blinked thoughtfully: "My mentor said that my mentality is a disease. I thought so before, but today I went out alone for the first time to have contact with aliens. I found that you are not like us. Big difference - you seem to have feelings too? Then my world view is fine."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Hao Ren couldn't laugh or cry, "Of course aliens have feelings."
Vivian was more surprised than anyone else. She looked at Bai Huo in disbelief: "You said you don't have a killing instinct when you see aliens?"
Bai Huo nodded, and Vivian immediately asked: "Are there any other demon hunters like you?!"
Bai Huo looked at Vivian warily: "Why are you asking this? To spy on information?"
It seems that although this strange witcher has a gentler attitude towards aliens than other witchers, the hostility she has been taught since childhood is still real. However, Vivian had already gotten the answer from the other party's reaction, so she stopped asking further questions. Hao Ren, on the other hand, looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Remember the natural hostility between normal vampires and werewolves, right?" Vivian said casually.
Hao Ren suddenly remembered: Under normal circumstances, werewolves and vampires are naturally hostile. Even if they have never seen each other, or even do not know the existence of the other race in their world view, they will become hostile the moment they meet. In fact, not only werewolves and vampires have this kind of hostility, but all other alien species will most likely have this kind of hostility that is almost racial instinct when they meet. This phenomenon does not exist in the dream plane, so Hao Ren has always been suspicious. It was what happened to the aliens after they came to the earth from the dream plane that caused them to develop this weird inheritance.
"As far as I know, the hostility between demon hunters and aliens has a similar reaction," Vivian whispered, "and the natural hostility of demon hunters towards aliens is even more serious, reaching the point of absolute murderous intent. Basically, the hostility between demon hunters and aliens is even more serious. As long as we meet each other, we don’t need to introduce each other’s identities, but if we detect each other’s aura, we will burst out with murderous intent.”
"The natural hostility between the younger generation of werewolves and the vampires has weakened due to unknown reasons," Hao Ren immediately reacted, "The demon hunters also..."
"The bloodline must have mutated after traveling from the dream plane to the earth, and both demon hunters and aliens were affected." Vivian's tone was very serious, "I seem to have connected many things... Now the aliens and aliens have been infected." This kind of 'hostile' disturbance in the bloodline of witchers is weakening, but it seems that the situation of witchers is more serious, and their descendants are also weakening physically... except Bai Huo, a genius child."
Bai Huo looked suspiciously at Vivian and Hao Ren, who were gnashing at each other's ears: "What are you whispering about? Conspiracy? If you want to fight, please just say it. I'm in a hurry."
Hao Ren couldn't bear it any longer: "How come you have such a name as Bai Huo and yet your words are so irritating!"
At this time, Becky's eyes were sharp. She suddenly saw something appearing in the snow in front of her, and interrupted Hao Ren: "Is that a seal?!"
Hao Ren and Bai Huo followed Betsy's gaze at the same time.
In the wind and snow, you can faintly see a strange-shaped boulder in front of you, and a lavender light curtain is constantly expanding, contracting, and surging above the boulder.
The surrounding wind and snow suddenly began to intensify.
