Chapter 498: Blood Crystal
"This ........."
Hearing Jenn's words, a look of embarrassment immediately appeared on the high-level vampire's face. It's no wonder that the "mother" of a family is the source of all the vampires in that family. It's not just status, it's bloodline. That is to say, as long as it is a vampire of this family, then they have the blood of their "mother" in their blood. Therefore, the "mother" is under absolute authority over the inferior vampires in the family. Not only that, but the importance of the "mother" to the family is also obvious, if the "mother" dies, then all the vampires in the family will go crazy and die. Therefore, unless it is a particularly critical time, the "mother" of a family will never come forward at will.
But it was not a whim for Jenn to meet the "mother" of the Egret family, he did not study these vampire families deeply, but he also knew the reputation of the Egret family, which was quite "alternative" among the vampire families. The reason why they say this is because they have qualities that ordinary vampires do not have—fairness, integrity, and freedom. For a group of vampires living in the dark, this quality is indeed incredible.
And the reason why this family has such an unbelievable quality is very simple - because their mother is a paladin.
A vampire is actually a paladin, this is simply a strange thing in the world.
There is also an introduction to this legendary family in the lower realm, that "mother" is a paladin, and the reason why she became a vampire is very simple, that is, in a battle to eliminate the vampire prince, she was accidentally hit by the vampire prince. And infected with the vampire virus. Next, according to the orthodox story flow, this kind of brainy paladin should take the initiative to commit suicide in order to avoid being corrupted by the darkness before transforming into a vampire. But this paladin is really out of the ordinary. After realizing that her vampire transformation could not be stopped and avoided, she actually took the initiative to accept the vampire. According to this paladin. She wants to go inside the enemy to defeat them and completely influence them.........
After that, the paladin who turned into a vampire formed his own family, but unlike other vampire families, this paladin transformed vampire only looked at his character, not his birth. There are many examples of good people in this world who do not live long and leave a thousand years of scourge, and after being a paladin for such a long time, of course she also knows that there is no way for many people's justice to be served. Therefore, she specifically sought out those whose grievances could not be redressed, and even persecuted to death. Transform them into vampires and grant them the power of vengeance. And those people are naturally grateful to the vampire paladin, so it is not surprising that they swear allegiance to her.
And what is even more surprising is that this paladin vampire has somehow made a magical thing, a blood crystal.
The so-called blood crystallization is a kind of thing made through some special ritual means, and this thing has only one purpose -- that is, to cut off the blood connection between the lower vampires and the upper vampires.
As soon as this thing came out, almost the entire vampire society was shaken, and the vampire society was the society of blood. Like what was said before. The source of all the blood of a family member is their "mother". The blood connection between the two parties will not be severed, which means that all "mothers" have absolute command over the subordinate vampires they create. The connection isn't as dramatic as the indication, but it's not much better. And once the "mother" dies, then the "child" they create will feel the same pain. Except for those talented protagonists, everyone else is basically crazy to the rhythm of death.
The effect of the blood crystals is to sever this connection, which means that the low-level vampires no longer have to be manipulated by their "mothers" as puppets. And you don't have to worry about being killed one day. But in this way, the "mother's" ability to control the family will also be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is natural that the vampires hate the Egret family very much.
Originally, they hoped to report to the Council of Elders and then eradicate the Egret family once and for all. But I didn't expect to know why. That paladin vampire was actually favored by the Blood Queen, and not only that, but when they were about to attack the Egret family. Only then was I surprised to find that there were many small families under the egret family, and I didn't know when there were many small families. The vampires of the leaders of these families were all helped by the Paladin and transformed into vampires by her. After that, they also used blood crystals, and then went out on their own to form their own family. Although the strength of these small families is not obvious, they have gathered a lot of people. It was only at this time that those big families found out that there were so many small families gathered behind the Egret family, and if there was a fight, then it would be a full-scale war between vampires. This is naturally unacceptable to vampires who have always insisted on keeping a low profile. What's more, the other party has also been favored by the Blood Queen, which means that the Blood Queen supports her in doing this, and the boss above has spoken, what else can I do below? Bear with it.
However, what the blood crystals are, everyone doesn't know, only that paladin in the Egret family has the means to make blood crystals, and she also knows that her practice is easy to cause the siege of the high-level vampire family, so she lives in seclusion on weekdays, and she doesn't go out if she can, and no one knows where she is. At this moment, Jenn made such a request, and it was no wonder that the high-level vampire was wary of him.
But Jenn can't help it, he didn't expect that he would be able to meet the Egret family here, if he can really contact the "mother" through them, and then get the blood crystal, then Elise's problem can be solved. Now Jenn's biggest concern is that Elise will be taken away by her "mother" after vampireization, and if there is a blood crystal, this problem can be solved, then Elise vampire transformation will not be a problem.
I have to say that the appearance of the Egret family is really a coincidence, of course, if it were on weekdays, Jenn would still think it was a coincidence, but now that Remilia is by his side, he doesn't think it's a coincidence, this thing must have something to do with Remilia's "fate manipulation" ability. Since this is the case, then Jenn will naturally find a way to ask.
"I have one thing that I need the help of that 'mother'."
As he spoke, Jenn shrugged his shoulders and gestured to Elise, who was standing next to him. The other party looked in the direction of his finger, and quickly narrowed his eyes, as a high-level vampire, he had obviously seen that Elise was a half-vampire, and he was now in the stage of vampireization, these high-level vampires were not fools, even if Jenn didn't say anything more, they had already guessed what he was looking for his "mother" for. In fact, the Egret family has encountered this kind of thing many times, except for those lowest-level newcomers who have just become vampires, but all vampires with some abilities hope to be able to cut off the invisible blood relationship with the "mother", and no one wants to suddenly appear when they are majestic and a relative who can't beat them makes them like dogs. It's just that the Egret family does have a personality, and since their "mother" is a paladin, they are particularly strict in this regard, so it is impossible for the infamous vampires to get the other party to provide them with blood crystals.
Seeing the other party's embarrassed expression, Jenn didn't talk nonsense, but happily put forward his own request. But he didn't say it too clearly, vampires are some arrogant races, and if he says too much, it is easy to cause deep unhappiness in others' hearts, so he simply singled out and said that he was looking for that "mother", as for what it was, of course he couldn't tell the truth to these people below, but as long as they weren't fools, they should understand this.
"I can't decide, my lord."
The high-ranking vampire hesitated for a moment in the face of Jenn's words, but finally spoke. However, Jenn was not surprised to hear his answer, and just waved his hand.
"I understand, but I want you to convey that I will be staying at the Brilliant Inn during this time, and if you have any news, you can go there and find me."
"Yes, my lord, then we will take our leave."
Hearing this, the high-ranking vampire also knew that he was okay now, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Jenn, and then left in a hurry with the others. It was almost dawn when they came, and they were not fit to stay in the temple any longer. Second, Remilia's blow just now also alarmed the guards, and there were already hurried footsteps in the distance, if they didn't leave now, then they couldn't leave.
"Alright, let's pack up and get ready to leave."
Seeing the vampires leave in a hurry, Jenn also waved at the others. Originally, he planned to use the shadow plane, but after thinking about it, Remilia's attack through the divine domain just now must have attracted the attention of the goddess of the night, which is better to say in the main plane. If they run to the shadow plane to indicate that the goddess of the night will come to a sage, he can't bother to talk to that insidious three-no loli.
Seeing Jenn's movements, Alice followed him with a smile, and Remilia seemed to be relieved after killing a priest, and she didn't refute Jenn's words, just followed him silently. On the contrary, Elise's expression was a little hesitant, she glanced at the common room not far away, which was about to turn into ruins, and then reached out and pointed over there.
"That, master, look at the idol............"
Elise was referring to a statue of a god on the altar in the lounge. It was not a sign of the god of harvest, on the contrary, the statue was completely black, and it looked like an illusory shadow. The hazy and strange black robe enveloped the existence inside, and only a figure could be seen faintly walking in the darkness.
Jenn, on the other hand, followed Elise's finger, and then his gaze swept over the idol without even resting for a moment, and then spoke.
"I didn't see anything, okay, call it a day and go home and get ready for bed." (To be continued......)
