amnesia?
Mu You understood after a moment's thought that this was probably another curse that the vampire count had acquired when he absorbed a certain ability.
No matter what, when I met the real owner by chance, the other party did not see that he was a fool. Instead, he regarded him as the original owner of the skin, and the original vampire happened to have a curse of forgetfulness...
It seems like this matter can continue to work out!
[You chose to borrow Poxiadonkey, admitting that after waking up this time, you did forget many things. You only remembered that you were from the Rhine family, but you had no impression of the specific family members. I hope the other party can explain to you what happened before. 】
[Rhinemai told you her brother’s experience with a true expression on her face. 】
[The Rhine family was also a large family a long time ago, but it gradually declined due to the long-term lack of masters in the family. As time went by, the number of people gradually withered away, until the birth of Rhine Liston, the predecessor of Qin's skin. 】
[In addition to the level attributes derived from the body, the most important component of the vampire's power is family talent.
Each vampire family has its own unique talent tree, some are powerful and some are ordinary. Obtaining some powerful talents is enough to support the vampire to complete cross-level battles.
However, these talents can only be obtained randomly when the vampire title is promoted. The title has nothing to do with the grade system. There is a 50% chance of obtaining a talent when promoted to Baron and Viscount. Afterwards, promotions to Earl, Marquis and Duke are 100% awakening. A new talent. Therefore, even the highest-status vampire Duke can only obtain a maximum of 5 vampire talents. 】
[As for Rhine Liston, he awakened a hidden talent that has been lost for many years, 'Talent Absorption', during his baron period. The special thing about this talent is that it can break through the upper limit of the number of talents and gain unlimited abilities from his own race and even those from outsiders. , thereby continuously enhancing its own strength.
Liston carried the hopes of the Rhine family. In order to help the family revive and improve its strength as much as possible, he continued to devour and absorb various creatures, and collected nearly a hundred kinds of strong or weak abilities. Finally, as an earl, he had the power to Overwhelming many marquises, he grew into one of the top masters in the clan at that time, and the Rhine family became one of the top ten families of the blood clan, restoring the glory of their ancestors! 】
[But at the same time, the ability of talent absorption also has a huge weakness, that is, whenever you obtain a new ability, you will also receive a random curse. The stronger the ability, the stronger the curse you will get. In other words, As his abilities become more and more powerful, his weaknesses will become more and more obvious.
In history, all vampires who awakened this talent, without exception, died from the backlash caused by the superposition of curses. Therefore, this talent was also regarded as an ominous talent by the family ancestors, and those who obtained it would eventually lead to self-destruction. 】
[The same goes for Liston. His rapidly expanding strength has brought him various restrictions. Every time he acquires a new ability, it is equivalent to a gamble. If he can stop it in time, there may be room for maneuver. However, Liston has been deeply immersed in the thirst for strength and cannot extricate himself. Like a gambler, he continues to collect various new abilities. In the end, he has completely forced himself into a dead end. He can only be forced to enter dormancy and disappear from the blood tribe. In sight...]
Mu You was stunned when he saw it. He didn't expect that his predecessor had swallowed up hundreds of abilities!
He has backtracking and can filter curses through backtracking. Even so, after multiple curses are superimposed, he has begun to feel a lot of inconvenience. With more than a hundred kinds of curses stacked up in succession, even if you are extremely lucky and never encounter that contradictory curse, you can imagine how far the restrictions on you will reach.
After acquiring so many abilities, the predecessor was still not greedy enough, and the final outcome was doomed.
Mu You sighed, but then again, his predecessor had mastered more than a hundred talents, but when he got the skin, he only had three left. It seemed that extracting the skin could only inherit the deceased's very limited abilities during his lifetime.
[Rhinemai will tell you that in order to avoid being coveted by others, the place where her brother rests has never been disclosed to outsiders. Only a few close relatives in the family know about it, and she is also one of the people who know about it. At this Millennium Tribe Meeting, the family was warned by the Grand Duke because they could not produce the Heart of Mist. She had no intention of going to Mist Mountain to search for the Heart of Mist in person, because it was very likely that she would be targeted by other tribesmen with ulterior motives and follow the clues. Find his brother's whereabouts and destroy his resurrection plan. She believes that even if she is removed from the family now, as long as her brother is resurrected in the future, the family will still have a chance to revitalize. 】
[Rhinemai hesitated for a moment after speaking, and then asked if you had seen the blood servant 'Rodney' you sent out before? 】
Mu You raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, there was still no way around this problem.
After thinking about it, he decided to answer truthfully. Lying in this kind of matter would be too easy to expose.
[You apologized and told Mai that you had met Rodney before, but because he tried to steal the treasure in the tomb, you killed him casually. 】
[When Mai heard this, not only did she not mean to blame you, but she repeatedly said that she didn’t need to care. She also knew Rodney’s bad habit of being greedy for money. He must have offended my elder brother. He is just a blood servant. It is not a pity to die. As long as your elder brother Just be safe! 】
Mu You looked strange. He didn't expect that the story of the blood servant would turn out so easily... It seems that the status of these blood servants in the blood clan is lower than imagined.
[After the greetings, Mai tried her best to invite you to go home for a reunion. Her younger brothers and sisters all miss you as their brother very much. She will ask her family to prepare a banquet to welcome you. your choice……】
Below are two options: [Accept Invitation] and [Excuse Leave].
Mu You originally planned to leave the Heart of Mist behind, but the current situation made him change his mind.
It would also be a good choice if you could use the skin's original owner's family to blend into the vampire clan.
[You chose to accept the invitation. 】
[Mai Yi was very happy and immediately took you into the forest. At the same time, he took out the communication tools and informed his family about your return. 】
[After a while, you arrived at a two-story building deep in the dark forest. 】
[Entering the house, a banquet has been set up in the living room, and the whole family is gathered here. 】
[The first thing that appears in front of you are seven vampire children, four boys and three girls. The oldest one has the appearance of a human about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest looks only five or six years old. They are all gathered at the door, looking at you like curious babies. . 】
[After the child, there are two middle-aged vampires, one male and one female. They look like a couple. They both look at you kindly and greet you with a smile. The middle-aged male vampire among them seems to be ill. , coughing repeatedly while speaking. 】
[Following behind you are three vampire servants. They look at you with awe, and they all lower their heads and salute you. 】
[Mai introduces you one by one. The two middle-aged people are your uncle and aunt respectively. The seven children are all their children. As for the other elders of the Rhine family, they have all fought against werewolves in recent years. Killed. These are all the current members of the Rhine family. 】
Mu You was shocked to see that there were only seven children, three adults, and three blood servants to make up the numbers. This family was even rarer than imagined...
Mu You clicked on the messages of two middle-aged men and glanced at them.
[Rhine Jonas (not evolved at level 20) (seriously injured): Vampire Viscount, poisoned by wolfsbane, temporarily unable to fight. Unlocked family talent: Juli, with giant-like strength. 】
[Rhine Erza (not evolved at level 15): Vampire Baron, has unlocked the family talent: Charm, which can make creatures of the opposite sex go into estrus. 】
Two middle-aged people, one is only level 15 and the other is level 20. The one at level 20 is still seriously injured. In other words, the strongest person in the family is actually the cheap sister next to him...
[After a welcome, you were surrounded by everyone and sat at the head of the table, and other family members sat down around you. 】
[The servants brought up all kinds of finely cooked food and wine, and of course the highlight of the blood clan banquet: a glass of blood was filled in the best wine glass in front of everyone. According to Mai, this is fresh and pure blood just produced from young humans, and it is one of the best quality supplements for vampires. 】
[The smell of blood is sweet and sweet in your nose. You can't help but take a sip. Pure blood flows in your body. You feel happy, your strength is restored, and your attack power is temporarily increased by 10%. 】
[Everyone else also tasted the blood in front of them. 】
[The Vampires obtain their power source from blood. For them, the time to replenish blood every day is sacred. No one spoke to disturb the atmosphere. 】
[At this time, you noticed that a little girl sitting on your right was secretly watching you taste the blood. She couldn't help but swallow, and a trace of desire flashed in her eyes, but then she was followed by Mai on the other side of you. Yi glared, and the little girl hurriedly looked away, picked up her blood cup and covered her face. 】
[Mai Yi noticed your gaze and looked at you apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother, children don't understand the rules."]
[Looking at everyone’s performance, you realized something and suddenly picked up Mai’s cup and took a sip. When the blood enters the mouth, it doesn't feel sweet, but has a strong sour taste - this is just a glass of tomato juice. 】
[You look at the others. The whole family looks at you with embarrassment. It is obvious that all they drank was tomato juice, and the only glass of real blood was left for you. 】
Mu You was a little surprised when he read the text. A family of vampires should always have blood on hand, but the family only has such a small amount of blood?
["Blood is hard to come by in the Undercity?" You looked at Mai and asked. 】
["It wasn't hard to find in the first place. In the past, you could easily obtain blood by going hunting every night. Even if you didn't go hunting, there were often fresh blood packs for sale on the black market. The source of blood was not difficult to find. But since a year ago, those After the werewolves unified into a tribe, they began to deliberately target the lower-level vampires. Every day, the werewolves would disguise themselves as ordinary humans and move back and forth in the places where vampires like to hunt most, deliberately tempting the vampires to take action. Once the vampires take action, the werewolves will be ushered in. A crazy counterattack," Mai said. 】
["Werewolves have developed 'venomous fangs' specifically to restrain vampires. Vampires bitten by such fangs cannot recover their wounds through ordinary means, and cannot be resurrected when they die. This has led to vampires with ordinary combat effectiveness being all wary of rats and not going out to hunt casually. .And the werewolves also monopolized the sale of blood on the black market, causing a large number of vampires to lose their most important source of blood.
Therefore, in the past year, many vampires in the Undercity have been in a state of "blood hunger" for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is weak. They were no match for the werewolves in several lightless night battles, which led to a large number of attrition in the group. ”]
"The wound bitten by a werewolf cannot be recovered?"
Mu You was stunned when he heard this. He had fought against a werewolf before. At that time, werewolves did not have this kind of method to restrain vampires. It seemed that the so-called 'venomous fangs' should be the exclusive ability of werewolves in the Undercity.
['Uncle' Jonas looked at you and Mai apologetically: "It's my incompetence. I was bitten by a werewolf some time ago and lost the ability to hunt. As a result, the burden of hunting fell entirely on Mai."]
["But now that you're back, Liston, it'll be good. You are the backbone of the family. It's right for you to drink the only blood. Only by drinking blood can you have the strength to hunt." 'Aunt' Ersa looked at you happily and said . 】
[Mai Yi also urges you to drink the blood as soon as possible. your choice……】
[Drink the blood. As the person with the highest title in the family, you deserve the best things. 】
【We share the same difficulties. Divide the blood equally among all. 】
[Use the Fool's convenience to find better quality blood and let everyone drink to their full. 】
Of the three options, Mu You decisively chose the second one.
Just kidding, where could he go to find blood in the middle of the night?
But as mentioned in the options, with the Fool's convenience, raising a few vampires is really not a problem.
The reason why werewolves are able to monopolize the blood market in the Undercity is mainly because vampires have little information and have no other channels to purchase blood. As for the billions of people on the earth, if they can establish a relationship with players, how can they have such troubles as lack of blood?
[Ignoring the objections of others, you divided the blood in the cup equally among the family members and said that with you here, the family will no longer be short of blood and no one will be hungry again. 】
[The children tasted the fresh blood as they wished, and when they heard your promise, they all cheered and looked at you with admiration. 】
[Most of these new generation children have only heard the legend of their family's 'Earl of Dark Night', but they have no real understanding of it. Now that you have helped your family solve the food problem as soon as you come back, they immediately have a heartfelt respect and trust in you. 】
[Just when the atmosphere of the family banquet is harmonious, you suddenly hear a bat's hissing sound coming from outside the door. 】
[A red-eyed bat landed outside the window sill, put down a letter in its claws, and then flew away. 】
[Jonas goes to retrieve the letter, opens it and reads it. There are special encrypted characters on it that only the Vampires can understand. 】
["It's a message from the Duke of the Blood Clan, informing that a clan meeting will be held at seven o'clock tonight. The meeting location will be the 'Abandoned Dark Church'. Each family will arrange for two people to go there. Two topics will be discussed at that time: 1. The future of the Blood Clan. Planning. 2. Distribution of ten drops of 'blood of the ancestors'."]
[Jonas read the contents of the letter, then looked at you and Mai and said, "It will be up to you brothers and sisters to attend the clan meeting this time. With Liston here, I can rest assured."]
Mu You looked at the two issues mentioned in the text and tried clicking on 'Blood of the Ancestor'.
[Blood of the Ancestor: After the ancestor of the blood clan died more than two thousand years ago, his body was preserved. After that, every one hundred years, a drop of the blood of the ancestor would be born. Vampires who have absorbed the blood of their ancestors will have the opportunity to be promoted to a noble title. The higher the title, the more blood of their ancestors is required for advancement. 】
So this so-called clan meeting is to provide vampires with the opportunity to be promoted to a noble title?
Mu You looked at the description of 'title' again.
[Title: The title is divided into duke, marquis, uncle, son and male. High-level nobles have a powerful suppressive effect on low-level nobles during combat (only within the Vampire Clan).
The title can be improved in two ways: 1. Taking the blood of the ancestors. 2. Those with a high title can distribute a drop of heart blood to other vampires in the same family whose title is at least two levels lower, so that they can be promoted to one level of title. Up to three drops of heart blood can be distributed for each promotion.
After the blood clan's title is promoted, the level and attributes will not increase, but the existing family talents will be upgraded, and a new family talent can be learned randomly. 】
It seems that the 'title' here is not directly linked to strength, but more of a symbol of the blood clan's status.
The biggest practical benefit of increasing your title is probably the acquisition of new 'family talents'. Family talent is what makes the vampire family truly powerful!
[Family talents: The blood clan is divided into 13 clans. Each clan has three exclusive talents and abilities. Clans intermarry to form families. The talents and abilities possessed by these clans will also be brought to the genes of the descendants of this family. Become a family talent.
The Rhine family was formed by the intermarriage of three clans. There are nine possible family talents: speed, super sense, charm, talent absorption, giant killer, huge strength, deflection, atomization, and iron. 】
In other words, the Rhine family only has nine talent trees in total, and among them, Mu You already has 'Talent Absorption' and 'Giant Killer'.
Mu You read the descriptions of the remaining seven types one by one and found that many of them had literal meanings.
For example, super-sensing is a 'super-sensing'. When it is lit, it can provide danger perception far beyond ordinary people. In addition, it also has a certain 'see-through' effect, which can clearly sense people and things behind obstacles.
Others like Mist can automatically escape into mist when attacked. Iron block, the whole body becomes as hard as iron, invulnerable and so on...
Looking at the seven abilities, the two abilities that interest Mu You the most are 'speed' and 'deflection'.
Divine speed. Before the battle begins, the vampire bursts into the battlefield with super speed, which lasts for up to three seconds and automatically expires after the first attack.
This ability only lasts for three seconds and will expire at the beginning of the battle, which seems useless.
The reason why Mu You likes it is because this ability can be combined with the backtracking, allowing him to have the same speed as the Flash during the backtracking, so that he can do and change more things.
Another 'deflection', the description is: allows the vampire to deflect attacks that it sees and understands the form, with a cooldown of 10 seconds.
To put it bluntly, it is an attack from the front. The vampire can directly deflect its direction with his thoughts, thus exempting him from its effects, which is equivalent to being invincible once every ten seconds.
After seeing his family's talents, Mu You suddenly became very interested in this clan. With his pocket watch, the talents that appear randomly when he is promoted to a peerage are fixed to him. This is an opportunity to accurately upgrade his vampire skin!
