Chapter 9: Wine that can cure vampires
"Where is Monarque, I need his help. "If it weren't a last resort, Li Kang didn't want to ask Monak for help, Monarque was the most traditional old-school magician, and he was quite unaccustomed to Li Kang's ability to perform all kinds of magic at a very small price."www.biquge.info
"Boom!" A purple smoke exploded on the seat next to Li Kang, choking Li Kang and coughing, and the rest of the guests also frowned, far away from Li Kang's side, on the seat next to Li Kang, an old man with a goatee wearing a small round hat appeared.
"Isn't this Li Kang? You actually took the initiative to find me, I wonder what the hell is going on. "This old man with a goatee is the famous Prince of Magic, Monarque.
"Do you have to play this way? I can't stand it. Li Kang took a sip of wine and washed away the irritating taste in his throat, "Actually, I came to you to ask about blood wine." ”
"Bloodwine? Who did you listen to, I don't have that kind of thing. Monarque said with a gloomy face.
"Leave it all to me, I need it urgently. Li Kang drank all the wine in the cup.
Li Kang once heard a rumor that the recipe for this blood wine later fell into the hands of Monarque, but because the blood wine was very difficult to prepare and the materials were extremely precious, Monarque did not make a few bottles.
"What are you asking for? Did you meet a vampire? Then I advise you not to waste time, it is unwise to have a relationship with vampires, every vampire is under the control of Dracula, even if they can temporarily get rid of Dracula's control, but no vampire can permanently resist Dracula's will, and Dracula is the true ancestor of vampires, as long as there is still one of his dependents in this world, he is immortal, no matter how he kills, in the end he will be reborn in some situation, imagine, are you really willing to provoke an undead cockroach that is as difficult to deal with as Dracula?" Monarque persuaded as a passer-by.
"But this vampire is really special, it can be seen that she is only in the nascent stage, but she has already escaped the control of the patriarch, she herself said, until now she has not killed a person, from her, it is true that no bloody breath is sensed, I believe that what she said is true. Li Kang told Monark about his little encounter with the vampire.
"If what you say is true, I think this kid is a soul worth saving, but what I don't trust is you, Mr. Li Kang, as a magician, you use spells but refuse to pay a normal price, plus your statement is bad, you have done many things, even the darkest magician disdains to do it, why should I help you?" said Monarque, stroking his goatee.
This old guy is so right, Li Kang is powerless to refute, if it were him, he would also say the same, magicians are all shrewd guys, and it is not easy to bluff them.
"I have a piece of news, earth-shattering news, this matter is related to the Supreme Mage, and it is related to the survival of our universe, do you want to know?" Li Kang lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
Monarque was stunned, the Supreme Master is the Ancient One, although he is a powerful prince of magic, but compared with the Supreme Mage, there is still a huge gap, and things related to the Ancient One Master must be a major event in the wizarding world.
"Hmph... Li Kang, I know you too well, if you are half as bad as the rumors, then you are playing tricks on me, just want to rely on the words Supreme Mage, you want to make a deal, you think it is too beautiful, I thought you would try better. Monarque took a sip of his beer, and it was clear that he didn't believe it.
The old fox, who has a good hand and wants to catch the old man, but the old guy is right, he wants to rely on the name of the Supreme Mage, he wants to get benefits, at least with Monarque, a person who survived the flames of World War II, it is useless, if you want to impress him, you have to have more exciting news.
"Those rumors about me are the most shameless slander, don't believe those unreliable rumors, my news is related to a terrifying name, have you ever heard of the Scatterer?" Li Kang's eyes shot a fine light, staring at Monak tightly.
"Dormammu, the one from the Dark Dimension, how did you know that?" said Monarque, taking a deep breath and awe.
"This has nothing to do with you, you just need to know that Dormammu the Scatterer has set his sights on our Earth, is this news exciting enough?" Li Kang said in a terrifying tone.
"Dormammu is indeed the enemy of all worlds, but even if he is a powerful conqueror of the worlds, there is no way to break through the walls between the dimensions, and it can even be said that it is because he is too strong that he can't leave the dark dimension, he is omnipotent in the dark dimension, but out of the dark dimension, he loses the source of strength, are you a little too worried?" Monak took a sip of the German dark beer in front of him, although in World War II, he hated the German devils, but he fell in love with German beer.
"So, the following news is the point, if I tell you, it will be tantamount to betraying the Supreme Mage, I think it will be worth at least a few bottles of blood. "Li Kang became an intelligence peddler.
"If the news is true, I'll give you three bottles of blood wine, plus the recipe, and tell me quickly!" Monarque said impatiently.
Li Kang smiled harmlessly, like a pure white rabbit, "As far as I know, our Ancient One Master has recently suffered the most painful betrayal, and one of her most beloved disciples is actually a fanatical believer of Dormammu, the Ancient One Master came to me before, because I used to be best friends with that disciple, until that guy shamelessly framed me, the Ancient One Master may feel that with the help of my hatred, he can manipulate me to work for her, hum..."
Monark wisely didn't interject, because he knew that the mere appearance of a Dormammu's fanatical follower, even the beloved disciple of the Ancient One, was not enough to shake the wall between Earth and the dark dimension, there must be something else.
"That fanatic's name is Casillas, and he is a shameless bastard, I can't even curse him to kill his whole family, because his whole family is already dead, specifically, the Ancient One did not say it explicitly, but I can conclude that Casillas has stolen the ritual of summoning Dormammu, and I doubt that Casillas's wisdom alone can decipher its contents, but the danger is real. "Li Kang has cursed the name Casillas countless times, this hypocrite ruined his future, and the most hateful thing is that he is the fanatical believer.
The most hated thing in my life is that I was framed, which is Li Kang's taboo.
"I suggest that you better give up your hatred for the Ancient One, if Dormammu really dragged the earth into the dark dimension, then everything is meaningless, you come with me, the blood wine is yours, and the recipe is the same. Monarque got up and led the way.
Li Kang followed behind, on the edge of the cellar of the doorless bar, Monarque asked Li Kang to wait outside, and said that if Li Kang dared to sneak along, he would break Li Kang's legs and leave Li Kang in the cellar to die.
Although Li Kang swore that he would not do that, Monak was still not at ease, and set up a magic circle at the door of the cellar, and then walked down the cellar with peace of mind, and after about ten minutes, Monarque came up with three black wine bottles full of dust, and a roll of parchment.
"One drop of blood wine at a time, mixed with a glass of water, the recipe of blood wine must not be leaked, otherwise the vampires will spare no effort to destroy the raw materials for preparing blood wine. Monarque said with a warning hint.
In fact, there is no need for Monark to say this kind of thing, there are two major fulcrums in the rule of the blood clan, the first is the upper and lower control, the patriarch has some kind of strange mental control over the family members, and the second is the scarlet blood fever, which is the symbol of the blood clan, and it is the key to pushing the blood clan to the opposite side of human beings and light, so to speak, without scarlet blood fever, the blood clan cannot be called a blood clan.
Regarding blood wine, Li Kang only knows one legend, that is still in the age of steam, once on the banks of the Mississippi River, two vampire royal families, a bloody war broke out, the reason for the outbreak of the war is that one of the younger royal families relied on a self-brewed blood wine to get rid of the scarlet blood fever, but the other old royal family thought that this was a heretical rebellion and must be eradicated.
In fact, if you look at it from the perspective of the highest level of vampires, blood wine is a matter that must be taken seriously, and the old vampire king handled it very correctly.
Scarlet blood fever is when the vampire is hungry and thirsty to a certain extent, the instinct of sucking blood will occupy the entire body and mind, and the vampire at this time will burst out with a hundred times more powerful combat power than before, and the vampire occupied by the scarlet blood fever is completely berserk, and only by being hungry for blood can the terrible scarlet blood fever be eliminated.
At that time, the relatively young vampire king, because of the blood wine, could survive without sucking human blood, and even survived in the sun for a period of time, and usually behaved like ordinary people.
This incident aroused the alarm of Romania, the vampire Holy See, and the supreme king of the vampires, Dracula, personally came to the Americas to hunt down the young vampire king, who is said to have been completely destroyed, but the recipe for blood wine has never been discovered.
Therefore, it is conceivable that if the recipe of blood wine spreads, what kind of reaction the vampire clan will have, presumably all the vampire families will unite to completely eradicate the blood wine, which is the fundamental scourge that threatens the blood clan.
"I swear with my life that I will never expose this recipe. Li Kang took the blood wine and the recipe from Monarque's hand, and he glanced at the formula, which was attached to Monarke's spell, and it looked like a mess of patterns.
Monak took out a crystal lens and handed it to Li Kang, Li Kang looked through the lens, and when he saw the content of the formula, he was taken aback, and now he understood why blood wine was so scarce, because the most important raw material for preparing blood wine was the blood of a newborn of a mysterious tribe in the Amazon jungle.
This kind of small tribe, the blood clan can make them completely disappear from the earth with the touch of a finger.
"I see, thank you for believing in me. Li Kang rolled up the parchment paper and returned it to Monarque.
Monarque nodded and said, "You'd better keep your promise, or I'll be the first to let you go." ”
Li Kang understood the weight of this warning, he nodded silently, and the two returned to the front desk, Li Kang invited Monak to drink a few dark beers, and turned to leave the doorless bar.
