Blood!
Lots of blood!
Enough blood to cause an adult to bleed to death on the spot was flowing in the cold and damp caves of the grotto. In the low-lying potholes on the ground, clotted dark red blood spots and warm fresh blood were mixed and intertwined. It turned into a shocking red net, scattered all over the ground.
"Cough... cough cough..."
Looking along the weak coughing sound, it was an extraordinary woman with shawl silver hair who was as beautiful as a work of art.
However, such a beautiful woman is now being pierced by two sharp stone thorns from under her ribs and shoulders. Her pale cheeks are full of happiness and satisfaction. Opposite her eyes, a girl with thin cheeks and An older black-haired man with determined eyes, and a young silver-haired man with an eyebrow that resembled hers were running towards her desperately.
Those were the two most important men in her life, the two men for whom she was willing to endure all this suffering.
"Laura!"
"Mother!"
…
"Mother!"
It was dark at night, and a shota, who was only five or six years old, woke up from his dream. He was awakened by the nightmare, and his forehead was covered with sweat. The sweat wet the pillow under him and his silver hair. .
"What's wrong? Have a nightmare?"
The silver-haired woman sitting next to her kept stroking Shota's forehead, wiping the sweat while a hazy blue light shone on her fingertips.
That is the light of magic that this world should not have.
"Well! Mom, I dreamed of a very dark cave. Mom, you are inside. There is a lot of blood on your body. I am so scared..."
As if recalling the contents of the dream again, the little shota who was still gesticulating suddenly started crying. For him at a young age, that scene was too exciting and cruel.
"Good boy, that's just a dream. Go to sleep, kid. You have to go to school tomorrow."
The silver-haired woman's voice was full of doting and caring, but there was a trace of sadness, loneliness and reluctance in her eyes.
"Mom, I can't sleep. I want to hear a story."
"What story do you want to hear?"
"Same as before." Shota's eyes were full of expectation.
"Yeah, it's the same as before."
The silver-haired woman smiled softly, and at that moment, the whole room seemed to light up because of her otherworldly beauty.
"Then, as before, let me tell you a story from the past. It was a story that happened a long, long time ago, a story that has been forgotten by ordinary people for so long..."
…
The Earth in the early 20th century was the time when the exchanges between Eastern and Western civilizations were most intense. The tall buildings in the West and the pavilions in the East, two different civilizations, communicated harmoniously through trade, faith and culture; they communicated. When they are not harmonious, they will fight with guns and swords, and then return to the negotiation table to verbally criticize each other. This is a historical story written in textbooks that ordinary people know and enjoy hearing.
However, they did not know that behind the history books, disaster had already struck.
In the West in the late Middle Ages, a group of uninvited guests came. They had the same appearance as ordinary people, but they had more powerful power and astonishing speed. They were hidden in the vast sea of people and appeared elusive. The most terrifying thing was that they had discipline. Sexual, organized and purposeful.
No one knows where they come from or what they are planning. I don't know since when, they have completely penetrated into the lives of high-level human beings and controlled the life and death of high-level human beings. They don't seem to care about the life and death of civilians, but they slowly change everything that civilians know: clothing, diet, customs, and habits.
With the collision of Eastern and Western civilizations, these terrible uninvited guests turned their sights eastward. Slowly, the upper class and civilization of the Eastern October Empire were eroded by them, replacing everything before them by boiling frogs in warm water.
Sadly, civilians also seemed to enjoy the feeling of looking up to the invaders, learning their language, imitating their behavior, and donning their clothes. Only late at night, at those intertwined wine tables or bars, the peasants, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen can take off their daytime disguises, and listen to the beautiful resident singers on the small stage, singing those songs that are popular among ordinary people. The forgotten, pure past, and the songs stained red with blood and wine because of the arrival of those uninvited guests.
The musical instruments started playing and the singing voice was melodious:
Wolves sleep in the forest,
Bats flutter in the wind,
seven vampires,
Drink blood to hide your whereabouts.
Come and go like the wind,
My heart is like cold iron,
Open the intestines and break the belly,
Bite after bite.
Leave no one alive behind,
Only sorrow and wailing remain
…
The merchant girls chanted songs of blood and wine and sang loudly.
The civilians wiped away tears of blood and wine and laughed loudly.
"When the sunshine appears the next morning, we have to welcome a new cursed day, so why don't we make tonight eternal?" said a drunk poet.
…
Vampire is the unified name for those uninvited guests, and they prefer to call themselves: vampires.
The vampires have a life span that humans cannot match, and they also have strong reproductive capabilities. The most important thing is that the humans they embrace for the first time will be assimilated into their kind. Theoretically, they can definitely dominate humans permanently. However, fate is like a naughty little girl. There are so many toys in her arms, and she will not always favor one of them. So, fate played a fatal joke on vampires.
And this joke started with the birth of a little girl.
…
In the dark side world unknown to the human world, that is, the world of vampires, the seven vampire families control all vampires on the earth and the humans who have been embraced by vampires for the first time. They are Lucifer, Mammon, and A Smod, Samael, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Belial. Each family has its own unique talents or enhanced skills, and occupies its own land and water in the bright side world of humans and the dark side world of vampires.
As the patriarch of the Lucifer family, the largest family in the vampire world, Abraham Lucifer has maintained a stern expression for nearly half a century. However, recently he has been uncharacteristically smiling. The reason for this is that it turns out that old trees bloom and women are born in old age.
He gave his youngest daughter a beautiful name - Laura Lucifer.
Lucky little Laura, from the moment she was born, has perfectly inherited the Lucifer family's innate skills: telepathy, which can directly communicate spiritually with any type of creature without language. If the other party is mentally weak, , telepathy can even reach the level of mind reading. So, when little Laura was born into this world, she used telepathy for the first time to call the clan elder "Daddy", and Laura's days of being pampered by the elder officially began.
With the old man's favor, little Laura can get wind and rain whenever she wants. Even if it means the moon in the sky, the old man will do everything possible to get it for her. However, unlike Laura's other brothers and sisters, who are already active in the human world, they have lived in a huge castle since childhood. Laura, who is over-protected but overly curious, is full of yearning for the outside human world.
With the gift of language brought by telepathy, as well as the books sent by her brothers and sisters who had mixed into the human world, and the various strange electronic devices specially equipped by the old man for her, Laura not only taught herself the major mainstream languages of mankind , and also carefully studied the very interesting customs and customs of various human regions with different styles.
However, these cannot satisfy little Laura's curiosity. It seems that she left the vampire castle, stepped deeply into the sand of the beach with her feet, hugged the thickest trees in the virgin forest with her own hands, and used her own hands to hug the thickest trees in the virgin forest. Using her nose to breathe the thin icy air at the top of the world was what she wanted to do most.
Of course, she not only thought so, she also did it.
As the castle of the largest family in the vampire world, the area where Laura is located can be said to be quite safe, and safety is not a beautiful word for Laura. Because, in this huge castle, whether it is breaking in or escaping, it has become an almost impossible task.
However, Laura didn't care about that. Ever since she was caught after escaping from prison for the first time, she looked at the patriarch with pitiful eyes. After his anger completely dissipated, Laura's escape plans and actions became more bold and detailed. It seemed that every day She can meet new guards every time she escapes from prison, and each escape makes her famous in the castle more and more famous.
"If she were in the original plane, little Princess Laura would definitely be a top-notch tomb robber." This sentence came from the family elder, Vesemir Lucifer, who had captured Laura countless times, and said it unintentionally. Tell the truth.
Somehow, this sentence spread in the castle soon, and Laura got another nickname from then on: the little princess of the tomb robber.
Laura didn't care so much. She tried and improved her jailbreak plan again and again, which made Laura deeply fascinated by this jailbreak game.
The most ridiculous thing is that the old man, when he knew that Laura was so persistent, on the one hand, he strengthened the defense system of the already impregnable family castle many times, but it was specifically aimed at Laura. On the other hand, he asked the family's elder to maintain the defense system. Samuel inspires and correctly uses the true power of the vampires in Laura——
In the center of the vampire's chest, next to the heart, there is a blood-red crystal that is different from humans. The vampire calls it the blood crystal, and the blood crystal is the source of the vampire's power and the core of life.
"Little princess of the tomb robber, please concentrate, feel the surging power of the blood crystal in your body, and then use your mental power to resonate with these powers and release them to your limbs. You will find that your body and what you wear on your body The equipment can be transformed into a ball of blood mist at any time and moved."
Great Elder Vesemir, who has captured Laura five times, no, it is the sixth time now, is looking at Laura who is unhappy with a wry smile on his face, and urging Laura to learn the vampire's mist technique. ——
Turn your whole body into blood mist, and then you can fly and move very stealthily and very quickly. If you are a high-level vampire, no grass will grow where the blood mist passes. However, the great elder was also scolding his mother in his heart. After the little devil in front of him learned the true skills of the vampires, he might still cause some trouble for him.
Facts have proved that his hunch was very accurate.
A few days later, Laura almost succeeded in escaping from prison through the ventilation shaft of the castle, and successfully knocked out several guards through the mist technique.
"Little princess of the tomb robber, concentrate, feel the desire of the blood crystal in your chest for blood, and then at the same time sense the heartbeat of the little white rabbit opposite you. You will find that the blood of the little white rabbit is exactly what you desire. Enlarge your desire and draw its blood."
The Great Elder demonstrated while yawning, and turned on the teaching mode for Laura in front of him. The noise in the castle last night interrupted his meditation several times.
The great elder was muttering in his heart, it was probably the little girl in front of him who was being naughty again. Instead of doing this, it is better to teach her more difficult skills. Blood control is not a skill that can be learned in a short while. Before learning this trick, the little princess can always be calm for a while.
Unfortunately, things did not develop according to the great elder's ideas.
With a sound of "Bang!", the elder's mid-yawn was frightened back. Ten meters away, the little white rabbit that was jumping around in the cage a second ago was now like a popped balloon. It exploded directly, but the little white rabbit's blood was controlled by Laura, and was slowly sucked into her own body like water gurgling in the air.
"Very good. This blood control technique can not only be used to suck blood, but can also be used to control the enemy's blood circuit. It is not difficult to even control the opponent to dance in battle. You are learning very quickly. This time it is just a simple one. Little White Rabbit, in two days I will ask my servant to escort two humans for you to try your hand at."
Laura's extraordinary talent made the elder dance with joy. At this moment, he had completely forgotten all the plans he had just made, but he did not notice that when he said that he wanted Laura to try her hands on humans, Laura beside him Already showing an unhappy look.
"I won't practice with humans."
After Laura dropped these words, she left on her own.
In the days that followed, Laura learned more vampire secrets, human knowledge, as well as alchemy, magic, etc. that did not belong to the human world. However, whenever some offensive skills needed to be practiced with real humans, Laura would avoid practicing, but with her extraordinary talent and memory, this did not delay Laura's learning of magic or vampire secrets.
However, a small accident caused little Laura to secretly dig out "The History of the Blood Family" from the old man's office. Words such as "Erasia" and "Exios" were used by little Laura for the first time. touch. But later, whenever Laura asked where the various magics came from and what the world of vampires was like in the past, every elder remained silent. Even the old man who loved her the most, when she asked When asked these questions, the most common answer the old man gave was:
"Children, don't ask so many questions!"
Whenever it was quiet at night, little Laura would always go to the observation deck of the castle and quietly watch the stars twinkling towards her. The vastness of the starry sky would always make her feel small and lonely. Sometimes, It would make her feel an indescribable coldness and palpitations.
She often thinks, what if the vampires have taken control of the human world? The vampires are still foreign invaders. Those elders, her old man, and the older generations of vampires from other families, don't they miss their hometown? The continent of Xxios? Don't they miss the world where they once learned magic when they recited magic incantations in the language of their hometown? Whenever she sees the warmest word "hometown" in the human world, the most common question Laura asks herself is, why don't you go back, why don't you go back to your hometown?
…
Time is like a huge gear on the eternal clock, crushing all the past that can no longer be picked up. The little girl also slowly and unnoticedly developed from a cute tomboy to a graceful girl. Her shawl of silver hair, the same color as the patriarch, was Laura's most conspicuous symbol, but Even so, Laura's mischievous heart never changed.
The vampires in the castle seemed to have become accustomed to their eldest lady being noisy every once in a while, until one day, the elders and guards discovered that it seemed that the eldest lady had not made any noise for a long time, and the castle was so quiet that they felt a little uncomfortable. She was so used to it that her eldest daughter seemed to have not played her jailbreak game for a long time. It was only then that the alarm bell in the castle rang.
"Sorry, patriarch, the eldest lady has escaped!"
