[You have obtained three drops of 'blood of the ancestors', do you want to fuse them immediately? 】
[Note: After fusion, your Vampire Count skin will be promoted to 'Vampire Marquis', the vampire talents previously obtained will be enhanced, and you will automatically learn a new talent ability. 】
"yes."
After leaving the Blood Duke's house, Mu You took the blood drops directly back to the Rhine family, found a safe place at home, and started upgrading his bloodline.
The whole process takes much less time than imagined, only a few seconds.
Mu You himself didn't feel anything in reality. After all, it was only one of his skins that was upgraded.
After just a few seconds, a prompt popped up in the game.
[Promotion completed, your vampire skin is upgraded to 'Vampire Marquis'. 】
[Vampire Marquis: The second-level title among the existing vampires. When facing other vampires with lower titles than you, your damage and defense capabilities will be greatly improved, and the talents of low-level vampires will not be effective when facing you. .
Comes with talents:
King of the Night: You will become weaker during the day and stronger at night. The closer to night, the stronger you will be, and you can get up to 100% bonus on all attributes.
Giant Killer: You deal seven times damage to creatures over three meters tall, and ten times damage to creatures over ten meters tall.
Talent Absorption: Can be fused with other unowned skins to obtain a talent of that skin and a random curse. The curse level will be one level lower than the acquired talent. When absorbing the lowest level talent, no curse will be obtained.
Butcher Wolf:......
Survival of the fittest:…
Water Mastery:…
Possess curses: Blood Thirst, Burning Sun, Daydreaming, Death Punishment. 】
[You have obtained the new talent 'Super Speed'. 】
After the upgrade was completed, Mu You carefully reviewed the changes.
Sure enough, the level and attributes have not been improved at all, only the quality of the skin itself has been improved.
Among the six existing talents, only Giant Killer and Talent Absorption have been improved, while the rest remain unchanged.
The damage of 'Giant Killer' has been increased from five times to seven to ten times.
As for 'Talent Absorption', the effect itself has not changed. It still consumes a talent to give a curse, but now the curse obtained will automatically weaken by one level.
And this has been directly reflected in the curses he obtained through this ability before. Among his original curses, the two low-level curses of 'Greed' and 'Big Eater' disappeared directly, and the effects of daydreaming and death punishment were also greatly weakened.
Daydreaming now has the effect of keeping you sleepy during the day, but no longer directly forces you into deep sleep.
The death penalty has been reduced from the original 'ten times penalty upon death' to five times the penalty, which is weakened by half.
Next is the highlight of this upgrade, the new talent: Speed.
[Superspeed: Increase all your speeds by 360 times within 3 seconds, automatically invalidate when preparing to launch an attack, and automatically invalidate after leaving the initial range of 1000 meters. Cooldown time 54 seconds. 】
Of course, this talent was randomly randomly generated by Mu You using his pocket watch. Fortunately, it was not a hidden talent, and it was not difficult to roll. It was easily obtained after a few random attempts.
As for the effect... Muyou immediately ran to the backpack space to try it out.
The moment the divine speed was activated, Mu You suddenly felt everything around him slow down. The silver owl flying overhead, the unicorn playing on the grass in the distance, the tail of the little mermaid slapping the water splashing on the lake... Everything around him seemed to have entered countless times of slow-motion mode, and he was the only one still there. Stay normal.
This scene makes Mu You feel very familiar, yes, Fool Card!
When the Fool Card is activated, there is a similar scene outside the Fool's Barrier, and the number 360 times is exactly the same as the multiple of the Fool Card.
The 360 times of divine speed acceleration not only adds to the movement speed, but also the reaction speed, dynamic vision and other speeds. This leads to the final result, which is equivalent to his own time being accelerated 360 times, the same as the Fool Card.
However, when the Fool Card is activated, he cannot move and must stand in the Fool's Barrier. Now he can move freely. The only restrictions are that he cannot attack and cannot go too far in the speed of time, otherwise he will automatically Invalid.
Mu You summoned a clone and tried it, only to find that the judgment of the attack was quite strict. As long as he raised the weapon towards the clone, before even condensing the magic, and just had the intention to attack, the acceleration effect would automatically end.
In other words, this ability cannot be used to attack, and it is difficult to use it to run away, but other than that, he can do other things at will. Just three seconds is equivalent to 18 minutes for him!
Coupled with the retrieval of the pocket watch, it allows him to have an extremely high degree of freedom during the retrieval period, and thus has the ability to change more things.
Of course, this does not mean that this ability is completely equal to the superiority of the Fool Card. After all, Divine Speed can only accelerate itself, and other things are still in a slow state. For example, the potion materials thrown into the crucible will only slowly fall and merge. Another example is the game text event on the mobile phone, which will not speed up the process because of your acceleration.
The Fool Card accelerates all objects within the Fool's Barrier, so he can cast spells and attack normally in the barrier, as well as refine magic potions, etc., which cannot be done by God's Speed.
Generally speaking, these two abilities do not conflict with each other. They complement each other and each has its own benefits.
After testing his ability, Mu You took the phone.
In the game, text pops up at the same speed as before, one message every few seconds, sometimes faster and sometimes slower. Occasionally, a longer text description pops up. After all, the world on the other side is not accelerating.
The difference is that now in speed mode, Muyou has enough time to browse all messages and type replies.
[You walk out of the retreat room. 】
[The whole family is surrounding you, feeling the stronger aura of superiors in you, and they all show excitement. 】
[Mai and several children look at you with admiration, while Uncle Jonas and Aunt Elsa are full of joy: "Blessed by our ancestors, our Rhine family has finally returned to the Marquis family again after thousands of years!"]
…
The text was still displayed slowly. Mu You clicked on the personal panel. At this moment, there was an additional option of 'extracting heart blood' in the interaction of vampire skin.
[Heartblood: The life core essence of the blood clan. After each title promotion, you can extract up to three drops of heart blood and feed it to other creatures. Creatures that consume your heart blood will be 'blood-bound' with you. Contact, if the person who takes the blood is your blood relative, and the title is at least two levels lower than yours, the other party will automatically be promoted to one level of title.
Each time you extract heart blood, your life limit will be permanently reduced by 1,000 points, and it will take one year of recovery before you can extract it again. You can instantly refresh the recovery period by eating the hearts of other vampires. 】
[Blood binding: When a creature swallows the heart blood of a vampire, it will develop a supernatural connection of loyalty and attachment to the vampire who shares the blood, and thus become the vampire's blood servant.
Blood binding is one of the most powerful tools of the vampire clan. It can use the effect of blood binding to charm almost everyone. The obedience of a blood servant is determined by the level of willpower. Creatures with strong enough willpower have a chance to break the effect of blood binding, but Generally with little success. For those with weak willpower, blood binding will produce a lasting and extremely blind worship effect. 】
After reading the two paragraphs of explanation, Mu You suddenly realized that this is how the blood servants were created!
A vampire can only extract three drops of heart blood each time he is promoted to a noble title, and can be promoted up to five times. In other words, a vampire can only create up to fifteen blood servants in his lifetime!
Of course, the blood of the heart is usually reserved for other blood relatives in the family for promotion. In fact, each family can not cultivate too many blood servants.
Having said that, the description did not mention that vampires can be immune to the effects of blood binding. In other words, the heart blood provided to blood relatives for promotion is actually still the process of creating blood servants, but the superiors have little regard for themselves. Blood relatives generally do not have a slave mentality, so they are not considered servants.
But we have to admit that it is precisely because of the existence of this blood-bound connection that the connections within each family of the Vampire Clan are extremely close, and the head of the family almost has the absolute right to speak within the family.
[Now, you can give a drop of your heart blood to help your family advance. Extract now? 】
[The extraction is successful, your upper limit of health is reduced by 1000 points. You obtained 'Liston's Heart Blood'*1. The remaining recovery time for the next drop of heart blood is: 8760 hours. 】
[You choose to give this drop of your hard work to? 】
Ten options popped up below, which were the names of the ten members of the Rhine family except him.
The recovery period of heart blood is very long. Of course, the first drop should be given to his sister first. After all, even within the same family, there are relationships and separations. Mai is undoubtedly the closest person to him now.
[You hand over the heart blood you just extracted to Mai. Amid the envious looks of the other children, Mai excitedly and carefully took the drop of blood. 】
[The blood drop exuded a deadly aroma, which successfully aroused the blood-hungry nature of the vampires present. Mai licked her lips and was about to take the blood drop when she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at her uncle Qiong. Nas looked a little hesitant. 】
[Jonas saw her thoughts, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to me, I have been poisoned by wolfsbane and have not recovered yet. Taking it at this time may affect the effect of my heart blood. Of course, it is best to give it to you. In addition, wait for Mai After you advance to the next level, don’t rush to focus your efforts on others. Wait until you are fully adapted to the improvement in strength, and then focus your efforts to achieve the best results."]
[Hearing this, Mai Yi nodded and took the blood drop. 】
[Mai took the blood of your heart, creating a layer of blood binding. The relationship between you and Mai is even closer! 】
[Pure energy flowed in Mai's body. In just a few seconds, she was successfully promoted from viscount to earl. Her existing vampire talents were upgraded, and she realized a new talent: atomization. 】
…
"Huh?"
Mu You was stunned. It wasn't that something went wrong with his promotion, but that his game text actually directly reported Mai's promotion process, and at the same time, a Mai's name actually appeared on his panel interface. Properties interface!
[Name: Rhine Mai.
Level: Level 20, not evolved.
Identity: Count Vampire.
Unlocked family talents: super sense, atomization.
...]
Although it is a very simple panel, at least it does display the panel. Apart from the contracted familiar, Mu You has never seen this situation before.
Could it be that this is also the effect of blood binding?
Mu You thought thoughtfully, it seems that in the game's judgment, blood binding and contract belong to the same thing.
However, if that was the case, couldn't he help Mai Yi improve her talents?
Mu You immediately thought of this and hurriedly took out his pocket watch and pressed it.
[As time goes by, Mai swallows your heart blood...]
[...Mai Yi realized a new talent: charm. 】
"Backtracking."
[...Mai Yi realized a new talent: iron block. 】
"Backtracking."
…
Discovering that she could really switch talents through backtracking, Mu You simply decided to give her the rarest 'talent absorption'. With the pocket watch, Mai can also choose to swallow the curse brought by her talent with his help in the future, thereby having the opportunity to train her into another super talent monster.
However, it turns out that Mu You still underestimated the rarity of 'talent absorption'.
After going back more than 1,900 times, he finally used this ability for the first time.
You must know that there are only nine options in total. It took nearly two thousand times to get it. This shows how low the yield rate of this ability is.
["Ah..." After the promotion was completed, Mai looked at himself and exclaimed subconsciously. He looked at the others with some surprise: "I, I seem to have realized the talent absorption, just like my brother!"]
[When Jonas and Ersa heard this, they were both in disbelief. Talent absorption is an extremely rare hidden talent, and you brothers and sisters actually realized this talent one after another. How low is the probability? 】
[When I came back to my senses, the whole family looked at each other and smiled, feeling quite happy. Although talent absorption is considered a 'cursed talent', no one dares to deny its power. 】
["Not bad." In Mai Yi's expectant eyes, you praised her without hesitation, and then told her: "But don't swallow up talents casually in the future. You must tell me before swallowing them."]
In order to prevent her from messing around and causing trouble, Mu You gave a special warning.
"Yes, brother." Mai nodded hurriedly and looked at you with stern eyes, full of respect and a hint of... fanaticism. 】
"fanaticism……"
Mu You raised his eyebrows. Is this the effect of blood binding? This thing seems to take effect much faster than expected...
Shaking his head, Mu You looked back at the game.
After the promotion is over, it's time to deal with the problem of the mole.
He had already discussed the issue of the mole with Brand before.
Brand obviously also knew that there was a mole in the clan, but he was not sure who it was.
However, after the clan meeting a few days ago, he also had a suspect, which was Taidi who recommended Blood Dawn at that time. Of course, he had no evidence yet and could not take action. In a race like the blood clan, it is taboo to attack the clan members casually. .
But Mu You doesn't have so many worries. Since it's hard to take action within the vampire clan, he, an outsider, can do it.
[You have arrived at an abandoned magic stone processing factory in the northwest outside the Undercity. 】
[You are hiding in the corridor on the second floor of the factory. 】
[The inside of the factory is pitch dark. Except for bugs and some mice, there are no other biological activities. The quiet scene can be heard as a needle drops. 】
[At a certain moment, you suddenly heard slight footsteps outside the door. 】
[A moment later, a figure in black robe cautiously pushed the door open and entered. Walking into the empty factory, the figure looked around cautiously, and after realizing that no other figure could be seen, he whispered: "Duke Brand, are you there?"]
[Through the perspective of night vision, you saw clearly the face under the other person's cloak. It was the Bruch Teddy whom you had seen at the clan meeting before. your choice……】
[You suddenly appeared, jumped down from the second floor, and blocked the door. 】
[Bruch Teddy saw the figure appearing and subconsciously ran towards you, but as soon as he took a step, he reacted and stopped hurriedly, looking at you in surprise: "Liston? How could it be you?! Duke Where is your lord?"]
["The Duke is not here, I am the only one here. Moreover, you must now address me as Lord Marquis!" You answered. 】
["You have been promoted to Marquis? How is this possible?" Tedi looked at you in disbelief, and quickly thought of something: "Could it be that the Duke has given you drops of blood?"]
[Just after asking, Taidi quickly sensed the crisis: the Duke called him here and said that he needed to discuss matters related to the Bloody Dawn Alliance. He ran over excitedly, but it was you who was waiting here...]
["You and Duke Brand have joined forces! Do you want to kill me?" Teddy looked at you with gritted teeth. 】
["Yes, the Duke thinks you are a traitor. You helped the werewolves create poisonous blood to harm our clan. You are committing a heinous crime, so let me deal with you." Vampire claws popped out of your hands. 】
["Absurd! I don't know what poisonous blood is! I obviously haven't done anything yet! Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that I am the traitor?" Taidi said while retreating in panic. 】
["There is no evidence, but in fact, I don't need evidence. If I say you are a mole, you are. Even if you are not, there is no loss to me." You replied. 】
["You!" Your rogue words made Tai Di so angry that he almost vomited blood. 】
[When Taidi saw that his reasoning was unreasonable, he decisively jumped back and fled, trying to escape through the window on the other side of the factory building. 】
[You activated Divine Speed and appeared behind the opponent at lightning speed. Before Taidi could react, two claws penetrated his chest. 】
[Tai Di was seriously injured by your blow and fell to the ground, vomiting blood, but did not dare to resist at all. Facing the suppression of titles within the Vampire Clan, he knew that there was no chance of winning against a marquis. He hurriedly turned around to look at you and warned with a stern expression: "You, you can't kill me. It is strictly forbidden to kill each other within the Vampire Clan. Even a Duke can only Only after a public trial by the whole clan can you have the right to execute your compatriots. If you kill me, you will be marked as having harmed your compatriots. From now on, you will be incompatible with the entire vampire clan!"]
["Thank you for reminding me, but who said I want to kill you as a vampire?" Faced with the threat from the other party, your body suddenly grew in size and transformed into a moon wolf in the blink of an eye. 】
["Remember, it was a werewolf who killed you... Don't worry, as a vampire hero who died in the line of duty, you will be remembered by your tribe."]
