Chapter 223 Vampire

Aiwen was tightly bound by the red iron chain that suddenly appeared, and fell heavily to the ground.

Regardless of the pain, he struggled to get up, but failed. He was covered in cold sweat, not knowing what the other party wanted to do.

Aiwen tried several spells one after another, but none of them were cast.

The red iron chains on his body not only bound his body, but also exuded a strange magical aura, hindering the operation of the magic power in his body.

Ai Wen raised his head and saw the girl walking over like a kitten.

She looked dazed, as if she had just woken up, and the expression on her face didn't change at all. For her, subduing herself with such unprecedentedly powerful magic seemed like a trivial thing to accomplish.

The girl didn't speak, and went straight to Ai Wen's side, her crimson eyes fell on his neck, as if hesitating, swallowing her saliva.

Under the large dark robe, her short wand was placed somewhere. The girl wrinkled her nose and sniffed again, then stretched out her pale little hand to Alvin.

Even through the thick clothes, Ivan could still feel that the girl's hands were like ice cubes, and the temperature was very low, even colder than the air in winter nights.

Because he was so close, he could smell a strange smell on the other person.

It's not Hermione's unique scent for girls, but a faint smell of blood.

Aiwen can be sure that the stains on her black robe are not traces of potions or drinks, but blood clots left after blood dripped on it.

Wine-red pupils, pale skin, icy body temperature, and the smell of blood, when these are concentrated on one person, it is enough to prove...

This girl is a vampire! ! !

Aiwen had doubts just now, but now he is completely sure.

He couldn't believe that his luck was so bad. On Diagon Alley, the busiest commercial street in the wizarding world, full of wizards, he could casually meet many vampires that wizards would never have the chance to see in their lifetime.

Even in Knockturn Alley where dragons and snakes are mixed, if you want to meet a vampire, you need luck comparable to winning the first prize in the lottery.

You know, in the wizarding world, vampires do exist.

But they are very rare, rare and full of mystery.

Vampires usually attach great importance to the protection of their own secrets, and generally do not take the initiative to contact the mainstream magical society. They have their own closed society and rules of survival.

Even if there is occasional contact, it is difficult to be recognized.

In this environment, many wizards even believed that vampires were extinct, or that they were simply fabricated magical creatures that only existed in myths.

Ivan vaguely remembered that in the original book, there were not too many descriptions of vampires.

After Voldemort returned, he sent Death Eaters to contact various dark creatures to overthrow the Ministry of Magic. The three most important allies were werewolves, giants and vampires. Vampires are the strongest, but they rejected Voldemort's invitation. .

In the original book, it seems that some major event happened within the vampire group, and they simply didn't have the energy to take care of other things, and finally let it go.

Looking at the vampire girl in front of her, she seemed to be starving and wanted to pounce on her neck and suck blood...

Aiwen swallowed, and dodged back with all his strength.

Because he didn't expect to meet a vampire, he didn't deliberately collect related books, and the second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class didn't have such content.

Normally, vampires are a seventh-grade course, or an elective course, which depends entirely on the professor's personal skills.

There may occasionally be questions related to vampires on the Advanced Wizarding Level Examination, which are also very simple.

The only impression of vampires in Ivan's mind is that when he was bored last year, he read Lockhart's "Traveling with Vampires".

In this book, Lockhart's unique exaggerated narrative style is used to describe in detail a vampire he met during his travels, and how he fought wits and courage, experienced life and death battles, and finally defeated the whole process.

Although there are many exaggerated places, and Lockhart himself did not experience it personally, the prototype of this book is a true story.

The description of the characteristics of vampires in it completely corresponds to the girl in front of her.

According to Sailing with Vampires, vampires, like werewolves, are made.

But they are not like werewolves. No matter who is bitten, they may be infected and become werewolves.

The method of becoming a vampire is called First Embrace.

The whole process is extremely demanding and the success rate is very low.

The First Embrace would cause great harm to the vampires themselves, they generally would not do it at will, and would usually only choose wizards who were close to them and who were talented.

The combination of various restrictive factors greatly limited the number of vampires.

Traditionally, First Embrace was considered a magical ritual.

This magic evolved from black magic such as offering sacrifices to the undead and summoning demons by ancient black wizards who specialized in the study of undead and devils. Because of this, unlike other magical creatures such as goblins, house elves, centaurs, werewolves, etc., vampires who can become through the first embrace are considered to be the result of wizard mutations.

They are not magical creatures in essence, but wizards whose magical power has been mutated under the influence of magic, and they are even more taboo existences than evil black wizards.

This can be seen from the internal settings of the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic.

As we all know, the department is divided into several departments, which are responsible for matters related to the management of all magical creatures in the magic world.

As of now, the Department of Management and Control of Fantastic Creatures includes the Centaur Office, the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures Committee, the Dragon Research and Control Office, the Pest Advisory Committee, the Giant Management Office, the Werewolf Registration Office, the Werewolf Capture Force, the Goblin Liaison Office, and House-Elf Resettlement Office, Ghost Management Office, and more.

Of these, none had anything to do with vampires.

A wizard was unfortunately bitten by a transformed werewolf and became a werewolf like Lupine. They had to report to the Werewolf Registration Office.

If they refuse to accept the management of the Ministry of Magic, they will be captured by the werewolf capture force.

However, if a wizard is first embraced, he becomes a vampire.

Compared with before becoming a vampire, his body and appearance will not change much.

He will still be considered a human being, a wizard, just like the dark wizard, not accepted and trusted by mainstream society, or considered to be a more evil existence.

But as long as he doesn't harm others and suck their blood, then no one will care about him.

It's easy to say, but it's actually impossible. Unlike the source of power of ordinary wizards, the power of vampires mainly comes from blood.

The stronger the magic contained in the blood, the more power they gain. Although it is possible to survive by relying on the blood of animals, unless it is a magical creature with particularly powerful magic power, the power of vampires will gradually weaken if they drink this blood for a long time.

In the end, there might even be a loss of magic.

Because, they must eat blood that contains magic power. Among the targets that can be hunted, the blood of wizards is easier to obtain than dangerous and powerful magical creatures. Therefore, although it is clearly prohibited, there are still phenomena of vampires attacking wizards.

However, as the number of vampires decreased, such attacks gradually disappeared. (To be continued.)
