Chapter 475

The servants quickly cleaned up the dining table, and after cleaning the room, bowed slightly and walked back.

Merlin and Alice frowned, wondering what are they going to talk about so mysteriously?

"You two, please come with me." Earl Austin got up and walked toward the depths of the hall.

The two looked at each other, exchanged a little with their eyes, then got up and followed.

The Earl of Austin came to a cabinet filled with oil and ornaments, twisted it a few times, and suddenly heard the sound of rumbling organs colliding.

After a while, an underpass appeared on the wall not far away, and there was a basement here!?

The Earl of Austin picked up the oil lamp, stood at the entrance, and made a sign of inviting you in

"Two, please."

As the three enter, the deep and dark tunnel is full of unknowns.

Austin carried the oil lamp, walked on the strongest side, and went deeper down the stairs.

The sound of several people's footsteps echoed around, and the dusty relationship made Alice couldn't help coughing a few times.

It's hard to imagine how long it has been since no one has been here.

Austin came to the bottom, lit a torch, and then dozens of torches lit up in a ring.

The underground situation suddenly became clear, and it made people see the situation clearly.

There are no treasures here, but more like an armory.

All kinds of weapons are lined up on both sides, ranging from swords, guns and halberds to older muskets.

And it looks like it is made of silver, and the surface is a little black, but a sharp cold glow is faintly visible.

At the top hangs a larger portrait of a fierce-looking man with a shabby beard.

If it is placed outside, no one will be surprised even if it is regarded as a robber blocking the road.

However, the eyes of the man in the portrait are very similar to Austin and Arnold.

Merlin speculated that the man in the painting should be the ancestor of the Austin family.

"Merlin, look quickly, there are several demon heads on the wall over there." Alice reminded quietly.

Merlin followed Alice's gaze, and was suddenly taken aback, and her heart shook.

The gray skin hung on the wall, the head of a monster with a hideous face and pointed ears, which has been hollowed out to make decorations.

Merlin was frightened at first, but soon calmed down and answered Alice in a low voice.

"This is not a devil. The devil's skin is deep black, and the ears are not so sharp. The biggest difference should be the teeth. We won't have such protruding and sharp fangs. It's just like a habit."

"Then...what is it? It looks a little scary..." Alice murmured.

"If you want me to guess... a vampire, right?" Merlin replied, thinking that vampires are a relatively special species, very hidden, and there has never been a large-scale example.

However, relying on some historical records proves that they have appeared. Although they are similar in appearance, they are definitely not demons, and are closer to humans and undead.

"Suck... a vampire?!" Alice's eyes widened, and for the first time she saw a special species in the story.

"I think the two of you have seen it..." Austin interrupted Merlin and Alice's thoughts, and said in a calm tone

"All the weapons here are used to deal with the legendary vampire."

"This portrait is my grandfather, a legendary vampire hunter."

"Dracula, who used to be the most powerful, was killed by himself..."

Chapter 16: Curse (monthly ticket plus more)

Although Merlin had guessed for a long time, he was still secretly surprised when he heard Austin's sure answer.

He turned his head again and looked at the heads of those vampires. He felt that this kind of thing was not very common, it was comparable to a rare monster.

The positioning of vampires in the history books is very low, and they do not belong to any of the thousands of races, but are treated as variants of humans and necromen.

According to legends, vampires do not exist in the first place. After being abandoned and cursed by the goddess, they become an evil existence that is immortal, immortal, and hated by people.

However, the authenticity of this statement is difficult to judge. Even the classics of the Demon Race have doubts about this, because the Demon Race and the goddess have fought for countless times, and the evaluation of the Goddess of Light is cold-blooded. It is hard to imagine Can people whom the goddess hates continue to live forever?

But most people believe that Dracula is the oldest kinsman. Although there are many versions of the story, it is nothing more than God who allowed Dracula to continue to suffer and not allow him to die.

Damn it!There is also such a cool punishment method. Stop BB, and give me a full service. I am always worried about the curse of the heart and arrange myself...

Merlin was full of malicious complaints in his heart, thinking about how he is also a villain, how he will never die, and he will always face death threats. The difference in treatment is huge.

Merlin did not underestimate the blood races, because the ancient books record their relatively bug-like racial abilities

One is bloodthirsty. Vampires live by sucking blood. While sucking blood, they can stimulate their potential, move extremely fast, and can gain part of the power of their prey.

In layman's terms, blood-sucking can make them stronger and can absorb the enemy's power, which is a two-way ability to strengthen oneself.

Vampires have a strong desire for the blood of powerful races, especially demons, almost to the point of pathology.

They may treat human blood as simple food, but demon blood will be used as a fortifier and fed.

Because the relationship between the devil and the vampire is really good, they can achieve perfect synchronization, and the blood of the devil will increase the strength of the blood family by several levels.

The other is self-healing. If there is no exaggeration in the classics of the demon clan, the self-healing ability of the blood clan is absolutely god-level, except for silverware and sunlight, nothing can kill them!

According to legend, as long as the vampire is not killed, a drop of blood, a piece of meat, or even a single cell can be restored to its original perfect state, and it is strong to the apex.

This is also the basis for the saying that the blood is cursed by the goddess, because this abnormal self-healing ability has never been possessed by any race, just like the great will of the world, imposing the concept of "immortality" on the blood, giving vampires immortality. Self-healing power just caters to the curse of the goddess.

Any speeding regeneration and perfect self-healing are weak, and they can't compare with the abilities of the blood race.

Which race has the strongest vitality?As soon as the kinship appeared, the other races had no choice but to bow down.

When Mei Lin saw this kind of record, it was hard to believe. If it were so exaggerated, he wouldn't kill the blood with hundreds of millions of knives, unless he was careful about the method and used silverware.

The weird bloodthirsty and perverted self-healing are perfect no matter how you look at the blood clan, but Merlin always has a skeptical attitude and feels something is wrong.

Compared to Merlin's calmness, Alice was shocked and pointed at the vampire head over there, "That... is that really a vampire!?"

"Yes, it's true. Grandfather is an expert in dealing with vampires. Those specimens have been specially processed and do not pose any threat." Earl Austin said seriously. The special treatment in his remarks is probably that even the cells have been treated. Kill them completely, otherwise the vampires will be in danger of resurrection even if they only have skins left.

Alice's eyes widened, her expression was a little dazed, her small mouth couldn't close.

It was the first time she had encountered a vampire in her life, and she did not expect that this kind of creature in the legendary story really existed!

And the ancestors of the Austin family turned out to be vampire hunters, and they killed the famous Dracula!?

Even if Alice didn't know the vampire very much, she had heard the name of this monster. It was probably the only one who made humans panic outside of the devil.

Austin watched Merlin and Alice's reaction as expected, and continued, "Presumably the two have seen a vampire for the first time, right? It's normal to be unacceptable for a short time."

"Well, the first time I saw it, it was hard to imagine that it really existed. I thought it was all made up in the story, or belonged to a kind of devil." Alice nodded.

"What belongs to a demon? There is no such low-level creature as a vampire in the devil." Merlin frowned and retorted Alice.

"If you don't belong, you don't belong. What are you excited about?" Alice rolled her eyes, thinking that Merlin had a sense of belonging to the devil, and she was obviously driven out.

"I'm just correcting your improper speech." Merlin said in an emphatic tone. All messy things are stuffed into the demons. It's not a garbage dump. It's too much.

"Haha, the two of you don't need to argue like this. The blood race is a wrong race, and it's normal to have a misunderstanding." Austin said with a smile.

"Huh~!" Alice glared at Merlin angrily.

"The blood family has very strict lineage class restrictions. Their fertility rate is extremely low, but they can create dependents. However, as the dependents increase, the power of the blood family will become weaker. Therefore, the number of vampires is not large, and it is always maintained at a certain level. Even if compared with the races of the entire world, the number is insignificant." Earl Austin said kindly.

"Yes...Is it? No wonder most people have never seen it..." Alice nodded seemingly.

"Are you here for the vampire business this time?" Merlin asked tentatively.

"Yes." Ofre nodded and continued, "My ancestor was a powerful vampire hunter. He hunted and killed Grand Duke Dracula for many years, and finally got what he wanted to see this bloodthirsty noble with his own eyes. It was so powerful that I finally had to choose the method of destroying the people, but unfortunately, Duke Dracula did not die, and my ancestors seemed to offend it, and the blood of the whole family was cursed by it."

"Curse?" Merlin squinted his eyes, and suddenly became interested, cursing this thing himself, and it is still a bit unclear.

"Yes, a terrible curse..."

Austin slowly turned around, turned his back to Merlin and Alice, took off his clothes a little, and exposed his shoulders.

At this moment, Alice and Merlin could clearly see that there was a tooth mark on Austin's shoulder, as if it had been pierced by two nails!

Although Alice couldn't understand it at all, Merlin touched his chin. He came from the real world and had seen movies. This impression was like a Nordic vampire. It had a strong sense of sight.

Austin saw that both of them were looking, and he said the distress that has plagued the whole family for hundreds of years.

"This trace of our entire family was born, and so did Arnold and Jenna."

"No one in our family will live to be 50 years old. By the time of their 50th birthday, they will definitely die inexplicably."

"The blood will be sucked up overnight without warning, and the body will wither and become an empty shell..."
