Chapter 466: The Origin of the Xenomorph (Second Update)
Mobile reading
Bai Lin was very worried now. She still thought of Ferrard simply. She didn't expect that the other party would be able to put her into a ring with a wave of his hand.
Top luxury cars, private jets, and route permits that can take off and land at any time. All this shows that this Philard Tepes is not only a mysterious person with supernormal means, but also a tycoon with great economic power and social status. Otherwise, why would such a busy route be kept for you all the time? This is not something that can be done with money alone.
Of course, Bai Lin was more worried about his own situation. She really didn't expect that she would die, and as soon as she turned her head, she would meet such a mysterious person. Is this her misfortune or luck? She is now trapped in the ring, although the other party promises that it will be fine, but who knows what will happen next?
The plane landed, then the car, the winding mountain road, and the extremely beautiful scenery around him, which made Bai Lin realize that he was no longer in the United States. The scenery here is a bit like that of Denmark.
This is Bai Lin looking out of the ring to see the car actually drive into an old and huge manor, and finally stop in front of an ancient castle built on a hill.
Whether it is a manor or an ancient castle, especially such things with a long history are unimaginably expensive. Not only is the price high, but the maintenance cost is astronomical. Finally, many sellers have to pick buyers. If you don't have enough status and taste, it's impossible for a rich family to sell it to you.
As soon as she entered the door, Bai Lin felt that the world was spinning, and she reappeared outside the ring. I immediately felt the special atmosphere of this castle.
There was a feeling that made her unusually comfortable, very cool, unlike the scorching annoyance of being outside.
"Little Revenant, welcome to my ancient castle: Enoch. Here, the yang energy is compressed to the limit, and the yin energy is so strong that it should make you feel comfortable. ”
Bai Lin nodded, and followed Ferrard as he walked through the castle. Soon, she discovered the strangeness of the place.
First of all, the servants here all had a smell that made Bai Lin feel fishy.
Secondly, as soon as you enter, the deeper you go to the castle, the more powerful the momentum of Ferrard, who walked in front, becomes. By the time he followed him to a huge study, the momentum on Ferrard's body had already weighed down Bai Lin and he didn't dare to come within ten meters of him. Once she got closer, her soul felt like it would be crushed.
This study is really too big. The circular design is surrounded by bookshelves, and each one looks very old. Some even exude a shimmer and an eerie aura. It looked like a small library to Bai Lin.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, poor little revenant. This is the land of the ancestors, and it means a lot to me. So here my power will be blessed by the ancestors. I've controlled the radiation of power, but it still looks like you're feeling uncomfortable. ”
"The Elder of Fellard. What kind of existence are you? And the questions you talked about, can you tell me now?"
Ferrard gestured to a chair beside Bai Lin and motioned for her to sit down. Then he himself picked up a wine bottle and a crystal glass from his desk, lifted the cap, and poured a glass.
Seeing the red liquid flowing out of the bottle, Bai Lin's heart churned.
It's not red wine! Red wine doesn't have this slightly sticky feeling, and it doesn't smell fishy.
That's blood!
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration appeared in Bai Lin's mind, and she instantly remembered a story she had read when she was studying abroad, and the protagonist of the story was called "Philard Tsepeche"! And the story also mentioned an ancient castle, the name of the ancient castle, also called Enoch!
Ferrard looked at Bai Lin, whose face had changed drastically, and then at the crystal cup containing the red liquid in his hand, and seemed to understand the reason for Bai Lin's sudden change in complexion. Smiled: "Looks like you've finally figured out who I am, haven't you?"
"Fei, Fei, Ferrard, Count?!" Bai Lin couldn't hold back the tremor of her soul, and she regretted that she had followed this person here.
I didn't understand it before, but now I want to understand who this is, and it is so big that Bai Lin is shocked and unbelievable. But after a moment of thought, she became a ghost after death, and this legendary thing was in front of her. In that case, what other legends can't be true?
Ferrard Tepes, what's the origin?
According to the story in Bai Lin's memory, this man was not human, at least not purely human. Rather, it is a xenomorph creature with undead life.
The source of the legend is a guy named Cain. This guy is the third human in the world to appear in Western mythology, but later because he has all the negative emotions of human beings, he has undergone an anomaly and has become a heterogeneous with great power.
Cain, who had become a different species, was no different from a human on the surface, and he still married and had children. His first son was named Enoch, and Cain built a castle for him named after Enoch.
Later, Enoch also had children, and there were quite a few. Some of them were people, and they all died over time. A very small part of them awakened the bloodline power of their grandfather Cain, and they also became aliens like Cain.
However, Cain's bloodline power was rejected and spurned by the gods, so his bloodline power was overned by the third generation, that is, his grandson's generation. It can no longer be continued through genetic means.
However, Cain later disappeared, and Cain's sons fell or disappeared one after another. The only ones left are the third generation of grandchildren. These remaining xenomorphs will inevitably produce loneliness and loneliness in the endless river of life. Need the company of the same kind. This emotion comes from the part of their body that belongs to the human bloodline.
As a result, a method called "initial embrace" was studied by these third-generation xenomorphs.
The theory is simple. Since the origin of xenomorphs is humans, and now that they can't reproduce normally, wouldn't it be the end of creating their own kind from the current humans?
Drain the blood of a human first, then send a little of your own bloodline power into it, and then use the mana unique to your race to transform it, and finally you can create a companion of the same origin as yourself.
Of course, this was the original idea of the xenos. But things always backfire. Because the bloodline belongs to the same origin, and it is not a naturally occurring one, those things created by the "first embrace" are not the same as the three generations of xenomorphs at all, and they are not xenomorphs in the true sense.
And these things that were created by the first owners are very flawed. They are passionate about and must feed on human blood to keep their bodies active. It's completely different from xenomorphism, which just uses human blood as a concoction. Even the more algebras of the "first possession", the weaker the power of the resulting failure. In the end, it's barely much better than the average person. There are also fatal flaws such as fear of sunlight.
One more point. These failures created by the initial embrace cannot be integrated into the alien group at all, they are naturally afraid of the alien species, and consciously put themselves in a more vulnerable or servile position, and they are completely unable to integrate into the alien group.
Disillusioned and frustrated, the third-generation xenos gave up on the idea of reproduction. Instead of distinguishing themselves from those who failed, they began to call themselves "The Ancients", and the failures were called: vampires.
And because both vampires and ancients are derived from the power of Cain's bloodline, they are collectively called: the blood family.
Ferard Tepes. It's a third-generation xenomorph, that's why he calls himself the "Ancient". It means "something that has existed since ancient times" and was not created.
