Vampires have absolute control over their "offspring", that is, the derivatives of the first possession, which is the most important foundation for the survival of the vampire family.

Otherwise, it is simply impossible for a group of selfish guys to form a well-structured organization and hide the existence of the organization under the hostility of everyone. After all, a group of people who only have themselves in their hearts are together, and there will be absolutely no shortage of black hands in all kinds of fights.

(And vampires happen to be some selfish guys)

But the people selected for this mission are all members of the elite of the family, and the youngest vampires have lived for five hundred years. There are so many elites, naturally it is not the first embrace of the same master, after all, the offspring that a vampire can create is limited, and if there are more, it will hurt the vampire itself, with the selfish character of the vampire, they will not do such a thing.

Therefore, the vampires present were very panicked, because this means that they were plotted, and it is very likely that they were plotted by the family, otherwise they would not all be controlled at once. Among the members present, there were only two "descendants" of the vampire leader, the Rhine! No one else could have been controlled so easily by him.

In other words, the family had premeditated !! They were decided before they set off to be sacrificed when necessary!

"What have you done to us? You are violating the iron laws of the family by doing this. Although there are such speculations, there are still a few guys who have a fluke in their hearts.

In the vampire family, there is generally an iron law, that is, family members are absolutely not allowed to kill each other, and the life and death of a member can only be decided by the joint judgment of all the elders of the family.

If everything that happened in front of him was done by Rhine himself in private. Then they may still have a chance to survive, not only because of that iron law, but also because of the special social structure of vampires.

After all, even if Rhine is one of the family's decision-makers, he is not the ancestor after all, and he does not have the power to execute the "descendants" of other adults.

In the concept of vampires, "offspring" is a very important property, especially the offspring that has survived for hundreds of years, and it is a very, very precious property (because they have absolute control, so vampires don't care much about the concept of subordinates, they believe in their offspring) After all, the "offspring" who can live to this level already has quite a lot of power.

Vampires create offspring more to protect themselves and forage for food on their behalf, so that they can stay in a safe shelter, wait for the service of their offspring with peace of mind, and have a greater chance of protecting themselves from being discovered, which is also the philosophy of vampires. It is possible to put yourself in a safe place, and let the people below carry the pot. So the older the vampire, the harder it is to spot.

Because they will forcibly control their "offspring" the moment their offspring is caught, and make them shut up.

And with the vampire's selfish character, his offspring, especially some powerful offspring, is absolutely not allowed to be moved, if Rhine really took it upon himself to forcibly sacrifice them, the "parents" behind them would definitely make Rhine unable to eat and walk around. This is also their glimmer of life, so that Rhine has scruples and does not dare to poison them.

Unfortunately, their hopes were immediately dashed.

"Don't be surprised, this is a spell that the family elders have jointly cast on you, so that you can accept my control when necessary." As a veteran vampire who has lived for thousands of years, Rhine naturally knows what these little guys in front of him think. So as soon as he opened his mouth, he dispelled their luck.

"Shut up now, listen to me!" However, he had no intention of sacrificing everyone, for he had to be assisted by someone, or he would not be able to accomplish this task as a bare-bones commander. Therefore, for those members who need to be retained, he must be encircled and let them willingly complete the next things with him.

And the quickest way to get them willingly is to tell them the truth!

"Listen, I don't want to sacrifice any of you, but I have to do it for the sake of my family's long-cherished wish for thousands of years. Some of you, don't be resentful, don't hesitate, your sacrifice is great, and you will be remembered by all the bloods! (Vampires have many other names, such as Night Nobles, Children of the Night, and Bloodline, but these names are just gold on their faces, and other races don't recognize these claims at all.)

Rhine sighed feverishly in a very subdued tone, as if he were doing something great now, when in fact he really thought so.

"Some of you will be sacrificed to the birth of a new god! Yes, a new god, a new god of our bloodline! ”

Rhine opened his hands and looked at the stone door feverishly, that kind of excitement and fanaticism was something that everyone present had never seen before, and for a moment all the vampires thought that Rhine was crazy, a new god belonging to the vampires? Hehe, this is arguably the most ridiculous joke of the century!

Can a vampire become a god? Theoretically, yes, after all, the Faren Continent is essentially a world where everything can become a god, as long as there is faith, any existence can become a god, even if it is a stone.

Can vampires? In fact, it is difficult for a vampire to become a god, even if it is a demigod, maybe there may be demigod vampires in some parts of the universe, but there is really no one in the Faeron Continent.

If not for other reasons, the scattered and hidden population of vampires alone is a big problem, how can a god not have believers? The way vampires survive is doomed, they can't gather in large numbers, because if the number of vampires in a place reaches a certain threshold, then it will be difficult to hide. After all, vampires are meant to suck human blood, and if there are too many, there will be more victims.

Vampires are generally hidden among humans in small families, very scattered, in fact, this world is not only other intelligent beings do not know how many people vampires have, even they vampires themselves, it is not clear, because the communication between vampire groups is also very rare.

Vampires also rarely leave the location of their lair, as it is also very dangerous for vampires to move outside at will. And even if one vampire comes to the territory of another vampire family, most of the time, the local vampires are deeply hostile to these outsiders.

The contradictions within the vampires are very violent, and the battles between the families are extremely cruel!

It is difficult for one place to accommodate the existence of another vampire family, and even wanderers will be ostracized, because the food of vampires is humanoid intelligent creatures, and the appearance of another family means that the food territory is contested. And if the wanderers hunt for food on their territory, they will need to deal with the final consequences and mess.

There is a saying that hatred between peers is the most naked. This statement is simply true for vampires.

In this case, let alone developing faith, it means that you have to do normal communication, and without believers, let alone becoming a god, it is difficult to become a demigod. Vampires are naturally disgusted by other races, and it is very difficult to recruit followers from other races.

Of course, vampires can also gain divinity and become demigods by plundering, but the question is where to take it? Any existence related to divinity has a natural rejection and harm to the undead, and vampires, although they are essentially creatures, are too similar to the undead, and the same is true in this regard.

(In the domestic dnd translation, there is a demigod lich, this statement is actually wrong, the correct statement is a half-lich, not that the lich has divinity, but another more powerful form of the lich)

This also restricts the appearance of demigods among vampires, and it is impossible for even demigods to reach, let alone gods, so the vampires present think that Rhine is a ghost. Only those smart people can see from the attitude of the family that this thing is not true.

The matter was simple, if it weren't for that, how could the family, especially their "elders", allow the Rhine to do such a thing to them? But how does this matter sound untrue?

Although vampires are transcendent creatures, with a long life and great strength, for ordinary people, they are simply nightmarish existences, but unfortunately most of them do not live very long.

Unless they are willing to hide in the cemetery and not come out, sooner or later they will be brushed by adventurers, by holy warriors, or by other people who believe in goodness and justice. Because the weakness of vampires is too prominent, even legendary vampires may be killed directly by an eighth-level plastic energy spell 'Yang Yan Burst', and they can't even leave dust on the spot.

And the priests of the Lord of Radiance kill vampires in batches.

So strictly speaking, vampires are indeed an out-and-out weak race, basically dying of light, and can only hide all day long, even if they hunt for food, they can only choose dark and secluded alleys or dirty sewers, or even in graveyards.

So in order to change this situation, I don't know how many vampires have thought of countless methods, among which letting vampires have their own gods is undoubtedly the fastest way.

But no vampire ever succeeded. Now suddenly someone told them that their long-cherished wish had been accomplished, and that it was right in front of them, and that they could believe it.

Seeing the expressions of these people under his hands, Rhine smiled, he understood their thoughts very well, in fact, after he became an elder, he heard about this plan for the first time, and his expression was similar to theirs. Because the fact is so magical, even if they are in a magical world.

"I know it's a bit of a miracle, but I can tell you responsibly that the beginning of this project is much longer than you think. This plan was formulated by the ancestor of the family, Lord Alfred himself, and for this plan, Lord Alfred even did not hesitate to enter eternal sleep in exchange for the future of the entire blood clan! ”
