Don't get me wrong, Salomon is not a hero eager to seek justice. Those people are already dead, and delayed justice is worthless. He just wants to know some information he needs.
You must know that although vampires are classified as undead, they can still reproduce. They can give birth to children through the same reproduction method as humans, and they can also transform humans into new vampires through first embrace.
The act of first embracing is a blood covenant, a magical contract that cannot be betrayed. This contract flows in the blood of vampires and is passed down from generation to generation.
Barnabas Collins has a very special identity. He is a vampire directly transformed from the magic in the "Dark Book of Darkness". Perhaps he himself does not realize how high his status is. The so-called "pure-blood" and "mixed-blood" vampires who were entrenched in Detroit would bow their heads and salute when they saw him. At that time, the Venerable told Salomon that those vampires who summoned the so-called "Blood God" were a joke.
It's just that Salomon can no longer see those vampires. They were all killed by a guy called Blade Warrior.
Now Barnabas is still extremely young (for a vampire) and has not accumulated much power, otherwise Salomon would not dare to come to see him rashly. Salomon just wants to know if Barnabas reproduces like mice, so that he can know how many vampires there are in this town.
"I admit, what happened at the Highway 9 construction site, when I was just dug out, I was really thirsty." Barnabas' tone had a strong southern England accent, and he picked up a piece of paper with his fingertips. Printing paper, held far away. He looked at it carefully and said, "Oh, and here's a bunch of hippies whose blood tastes really bad from taking that awful drug."
"That's all?" Salomon kept smiling. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the Collins family sitting opposite him was already a little impatient. Caroline became gloomy again, David also quietly retreated, and the air became Got nervous. But Salomon didn't seem to notice anything was wrong. He said, "I want to confirm one thing, and that is - Mr. Barnabas, have you ever transformed a human being?"
"You mean the first embrace? There is only one!" The vampire shook his head violently, "...Sir? I forgot to ask your name."
"Damonette."
"Okay, Mr. Damonette." The vampire crossed his hands over his heart, "I had the idea of transforming Elizabeth into a vampire, but she rejected it. Liz (Elizabeth's nickname) enjoyed aging. And Victoria... She did not escape An Qi's murderous hands. After being killed by An Qi, I transformed her and let her survive. If this is also the responsibility, I am willing to bear it."
"Then there are two vampires here." Salomon stood up and pushed the remaining printing paper in front of Barnabas, "Then the rest of these were all committed by your wife Victoria? "
"No, no, no." Barnabas pushed the paper back, not offended by Salomon's use of quantifiers. He shook his head violently and firmly in denial, "Victoria would not do such a thing. The Collins family invested in the hospital, and now we have switched to drinking blood bags from the hospital. In fact, we are also very confused. The only vampire I have transformed is Victoria. One...for this we often need to spend a lot of money to cover up the facts, just to avoid suspicion of the Collins family, even though we did not do those things."
"Are there other vampires in the local area?" Salomon paced the living room, slowly and naturally distancing himself from the Collins family. "I would also like to ask Mr. Barnabas to think carefully about whether you have been transformed." Another human? The bite marks on those corpses cannot be faked. According to what you said, I don’t think the witch can transform other vampires - she is already affectionate enough."
The vampire walked around the living room with his head lowered, his cane tapping on the marble floor, and Barnabas mumbling. But no matter what, he was sure that he had only transformed Victoria. In fact, the Collins family had investigated those cases through the police more than once, but in the end they found nothing. Later, in order to hide the traces of the Corinthian family, Barnabas could only use his ability to control people's hearts to prevent the police from continuing the investigation.
But the Collins family still found some clues about another vampire.
"No, I'm sure." Barnabas finally stopped. Elizabeth kept winking at Barnabas. After one glance, the vampire swallowed what he wanted to say. He changed his words and said, "But I can help you reinvestigate the matter."
"Very good." Salomon nodded, "Please also prepare what I need. I will come to pick it up tomorrow."
After Salomon was led out of the hall by Willy, Elizabeth stood up with the help of David. She said, "You don't really believe that wizard, do you? He said he represents some kind of wizard's cloister...I'm worried that he will bring someone here."
"Of course not, my dear Liz." The vampire blinked. Even though Barnabas was buried in the coffin in his youth and was still a little innocent and romantic when he was dug out, as a man who once took charge of a As the patriarch of a large family, he cannot easily believe a stranger's suggestion. Moreover, whether he is willing or not, the negative energy entrenched in his body will push his thinking towards darkness and evil. This is the reason why "black magic can lead to corruption".
He said, "Now that Victoria and I both enjoy eternal youth, why should I become a human? It's just a pity that I can't enjoy human food."
"What about the other vampire?" Elizabeth frowned, "This may expose the Collins family."
"Liz, don't worry, I already have an idea." Barnabas said, "Remember Julia Hoffman?"
————————————
A circular arc of sparks suddenly appeared in the hall of Collingwood Manor, which really startled the waiting Collins family. Poor Willy was still waiting for Salomon's arrival at the gate of the manor, but at this time Salomon had already stepped into the hall through the portal.
"My dear Mr. Damonette." Barnabas came up to him. He curiously looked behind Salomon, but saw nothing except orange sparks. He could only look down at Salomon again, "I'm sorry that I couldn't entertain you well yesterday, but I have prepared everything you need."
Elizabeth's eyes flashed. Although Barnabas had demonstrated some magic to her, except for the spell that charmed people's hearts, the others could only be called small tricks. However, Salomon's behavior of opening the portal in the lobby forced her to temporarily improve her assessment of Salomon. The actual head of the Corinthian family changed his attitude very well and immediately changed the relationship between her and Barnabas yesterday. plan of.
Originally, the Corinthian family only wanted to use Salomon to deal with another vampire entrenched in the Port of Corinth. Barnabas's performance was enough to deceive most people. The vampire showed the guilt of being forced to suck blood (although this was True), and the desire to return to being human (which is false).
Later, when Salomon wanted to help Barnabas transform back into a human, he killed him unexpectedly, completely covering up the traces of the Corinthian family. Maybe we need to think about how to face the Mage's Monastery in the future, but when Salomon appeared, the Collins family was already in trouble, and now they can only take one step at a time.
Elizabeth secretly spat—that witch would cause trouble for the Corinthian family even if she died.
But now, Elizabeth thinks that Salomon must still have some unknown magic. Barnabas's magic has lost its effect on him, and the biggest reliance on killing Salomon has disappeared. Of course, she didn't think that guns would be effective against wizards. She once attacked Angelique Bouchard with a shotgun, but the effect was not good.
She even believed that Salomon's move was to increase deterrence and that he was probably not fooled by yesterday's performance. The implication of using this magic is "I know where you are, and I can be here at any time. You can't run away."
In fact, Salomon had no intention of helping Barnabas lift the curse - this was beyond his ability. He had never learned anything about lifting the vampire curse in the "Book of Vishandi". Even with this It's magic, and its function must be to destroy vampires. Moreover, vampire dust is an extremely rare casting material. If possible, he would not mind adding some collections to his dimensional bag. Vampire spines and fingers are also excellent materials.
Facing an original vampire who had not yet fully mastered his power, Salomon felt that even if he couldn't defeat him, he could still run away.
If Salomon was still the original dead man, he would never have such thoughts. But as mentioned before, he may be affected by the necromancy masters and black magic masters he remembers, because while controlling some of the stigmata, he also learned the memories of some mages.
So Salomon might be... a little crazy right now.
But no one noticed it, not even the Supreme Mage - how could a normal person be interested in a terrifying place like the Dark Dimension?
"Thank you very much, Mr. Barnabas." Salomon did not shake hands with the vampire, but performed a mage's etiquette.
Barnabas opened his palm and then retracted it. The corner of his mouth raised, and he stretched his right hand towards the huge staircase leading to the second floor from the living room, "Everything you need is there, please follow me."
"Of course." Salomon responded with a smile. His eyes sparkled with interest, both for the magic books and... for the vampires.
