Blue Sword

cold.

So cold.

Peggy was lying in a small coffin with no eyes open, and her consciousness gradually came to her senses. She felt that her whole body was filled with burning pain, and it was like thousands of caterpillars burrowing into her skin, which was filled with an unbearable itching sensation.

Father, dead.

Mother, dead.

The house was burned down.

Even me...

The scene before her death suddenly appeared in her mind.

The murderer bit her neck. She struggled and screamed, but she could not get away.

Her screams woke her parents, who pushed open the door and came in to check.

Then, the murderer's claws slit the father's trachea and pierced the mother's chest.

She turned around, her lips still stained with blood. It was Levite, the maid of the Achilles family. When Paige went to high school, she greeted her at the door.

Then she lit a fire, turning the entire bedroom into a sea of ​​flames...

It hurts, it hurts.

Peggy screamed hoarsely in the coffin, her voice as harsh and unpleasant as an old dove, full of unwillingness, grief and hatred of death.

Finally, she pushed open the lid of the coffin, one hand came out of the ground, and felt the cool air that she had not seen for a long time.

Um? Ask, who was sitting on the tombstone, looked over. This guy woke up so soon? I thought I had to wait until midnight...

Peggy struggled to dig herself out of the grave, covered in dirt and leaves. This is a seventeen-year-old girl of Armenian descent. Her jet-black hair is spread out on the back of her head, and the hair on the left and right sides of her face is tied into braids.

Her appearance has obvious characteristics of mixed Eastern and Western characteristics. She has both the deep and three-dimensional facial features of Westerners and the delicate and fair skin with Eastern characteristics. She is an out-and-out beautiful NPC.

It's no wonder that when he was sleeping on the street in his previous life, he was noticed by passing players at a glance.

The scabs on the body that were burned in the fire before death fell off like skin, revealing the smooth skin underneath. Panting slightly, she put her hands on the edge and pulled out her lower body.

Then she saw Ask sitting on the tombstone.

"Resurrection from the dead." Asik clapped his hands, "It's worth celebrating."

"Achilles!" Anger surged out from the bottom of her heart like a volcano. Peggy instantly kicked off the ground and rushed out. The five fingers of her right hand stretched out the sharp claws and rushed towards Ask.

She was going to tear this murderer into pieces!

However, there was a cold light coming towards her, and her whole body was cut away.

Mountain collapse.

While Peggy rushed out, Asik had already jumped off the tombstone and slashed downwards with his sword in both hands.

This is a military swordsmanship from the Holy Solomon Empire. The swordsman holds the sword above his head with both hands and strikes hard from a high position. As long as the enemy is hit, the battle is basically over.

But Paige was not an ordinary person. She stood up unsteadily, and a horrific wound was cut from her left shoulder to her right lower abdomen, and her ribs and internal organs could almost be seen.

The knowledge from Flesh I flooded into her consciousness, guiding her to pour her physical power towards the wound. Soon the skin and flesh near the wound squirmed and bonded together, and returned to its original state in the blink of an eye.

"Not bad." Asik expressed satisfaction.

With such an easy-to-use extraordinary ability, Paige can not only be a damage dealer, but can also temporarily act as a MT (damage bearer) when necessary. It is perfect to join her team.

Peggy charged forward again. This time she did not rush forward rashly, but quickly circled back in a short arc and pounced on Aske's undefended back.

Another cold light flashed, and she was slashed out again, leaving a horrific wound on her head with the sword.

"I'll teach you some common sense." Asik had already turned around, carrying his long sword elegantly on his shoulder. "When trying to attack from behind, don't look to the side. Be sure to stare into my eyes and pretend that you want to face me head-on." Rushing to kill - concealing tactical intentions is a very important part."

"It's you!" Paige lay on the ground in pain, her physical strength healing the wounds on her face. Due to excessive consumption, her spirituality began to dry up, and her consciousness almost collapsed, "Achilles! You killed my parents, didn't you?!"

"No." Asik said directly.

Paige was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face became stiff.

After the two fights just now, she has realized that she is no match for Asik.

Although she didn't know how the carefree aristocratic young master in the past suddenly turned into such a terrifying swordsman, but if the other party could kill her easily, there would be no reason to tell lies to deceive him.

"The murderer is your maid Levite." Peggy said one word at a time.

"Yes, but this is not from my order." Ask said, "In fact, they only obey the current mistress of my family, and she is a vampire."

Paige's body trembled, and the clues in her mind were finally connected together.

"Aren't you?" she asked tentatively.

"I'm not," Ask said, "you are."

"I am...I am..." Paige looked at her hands, her face turned pale, "Vampire."

The summer thunderstorms came so violently that the raindrops began to fall densely in an instant.

Ask stood in the rainy night holding a sword, watching the girl in front of him kneeling on the ground, curled up in pain, her fingers dug deeply into the soil.

The heartbreaking cries were drowned in the swaying wind and rain, and no one could hear them.

The rain was getting heavier and it showed no sign of stopping anytime soon.

Ask sighed and went over to lift Paige up. The latter didn't struggle or resist, he just let him carry him up like a pile of dead flesh.

The cemetery is built on a hill, with an abandoned house at the top where the tombkeepers occasionally live and keep vigil. Ask came to the abandoned house and knocked on the door.

No one was inside.

So he pushed the door open, found the unburned firewood in the dark corner, and started a fire. Peggy was placed next to the fire, lying on the ground with lifeless eyes, as if she had lost all reason and consciousness.

"Actually, it's not bad to become a vampire." Asik took off his soaked cotton armor and tried to dry it with a fire. "Looking on the bright side, your appearance will be fixed at 18 years old from now on. Youth can be What about a person’s age? You are 18 years old forever, how enviable it is. And you don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe. As long as you take in blood regularly, you can stay young forever. Haha, other women bleed every month, but you It sucks blood every month.”

"I'm a monster." Peggy's mouth opened and closed dully.

"What's wrong with the monsters?" Ask asked, "The ugly ones are monsters, and the good-looking ones... are called waifus."

"Is there any difference?" Peggy laughed miserably.

"Of course." Asik stirred the fire and made a crackling sound, "Have you heard of the Demon Tide?"

Paige was silent.

"When the demonic tide comes, chaos will arise and heroes will emerge in large numbers." Asker said, "Now is the time when the demonic tide begins. The upper limit of the extraordinary level has been raised to 5, and the secret knowledge of bloodline will no longer be a secret. You may not understand what I say, so let me explain with an example. At the end of the Third Age, do you know the last three giants of the Solomon Republic? Octavian chose the blood of the dragon, Mark Antony chose the blood of the devil, and Ray Bida is a human purist and refuses to choose extraordinary bloodlines.”

"So Lepidus was the first to be eliminated. In the end, Octavian won the civil war and proclaimed himself the lifelong head of the Solomon Republic. This move was regarded as a milestone in the transformation of the republic into an empire." Asker continued, "Octavian's later years By that time, the dragon's blood had corroded all his human blood. After his death, his extraordinary power escaped and he could no longer maintain his human form, revealing the true body of a nearly twenty-meter-long dragon. Officials dispatched a total of 40 It took a power armor knight to carry the huge dragon's body out of the palace."

"Aren't people scared?" Paige asked, looking up and biting her lower lip.

"Not afraid." Ask explained, "There was no Solomonism at that time. Under the Pantheon belief system, people were proud of their family's extraordinary bloodline. In fact, after Octavian's death, its The dragon's body was sent to Solomon's Pantheon and was named the Dragon God Caesar Augustus. From then on, Roman emperors named themselves after Augustus. They believed that this name contained the power of the Dragon God and could Bless yourself to take control of the power and overlook the world.”

Paige hugged her knees uneasily. She was somewhat convinced by Ask, and of course she was also a little instinctively afraid. After thinking about it, she asked again:

"Then is there any vampire blood in history?"

"Yes." Ask said, "The Grand Duke of Transylvania, Vlad III, followed the blood line of the blood clan. I remember that he seemed to have reached level 4. The Principality of Transylvania itself believed in Catholic Church of Solomon, you see the Grand Duke himself has nothing to do with it. Because the Principality of Transylvania and the Principality of Khangli are part of the eastern defense line deployed by the Holy See to resist the invasion of nomads migrating from Siberia. "

"Well..." Peggy felt that her brain was running out. She had never left Constantinople since she was a child, and she knew nothing about the world outside the Eastern Solomon Empire. But what Asker said greatly encouraged her. Vampire blood is not terrible, it is just one of thousands of extraordinary blood.

"Why are you helping me?" Peggy looked at the fire quietly, and the light from the fire made her expression change inexplicably.

"Because we have the same goal." Ask replied, "You want to avenge your family, don't you?"

"Yes." Paige tightened her grip on her trouser legs. She was still wearing the linen shroud she had put on before she was buried. The rough touch made her feel a little dazed, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Kill my whole family." Asik threw a piece of firewood into the fire. "Of course, kill my whole family."

Paige turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

"Don't look at me like that." Ask said with a smile, "My parents have been killed by that woman, and the housekeeper and servants have also been transformed into vampires. They still occupy my ancestral home. Although I’m not very nostalgic about that house, but after all, it’s a legacy left to me by my parents, so I can’t take advantage of those outsiders.”

"I see," Peggy whispered. "We have a common enemy."

"That's right." Ask said, "In the short term, your enemies are the vampires who killed your parents. In the long run, the church, night watchmen and witchers are your old enemies. If you don't have the corresponding With extraordinary strength, once you are exposed as a vampire, you will be found and killed soon."

"You have the extraordinary characteristics of Flesh I. It can be said that your starting point is higher than most people in this city, including me. What you lack now is just the experience of converting extraordinary powers into physical powers and using them. . I can teach you in this aspect, but of course it’s not for free. You need to sign a soul contract.”
