More than 300 years ago, the joint force of immortal believers and exorcists won the final victory. Most of the undead wizards were wiped out, and only a few female wizards left the battlefield under the cover of men.
These witches were forced to disperse and flee, and some of them fled into the Maia Forest. At that time, the head of the exorcist who was in charge of chasing the Maya witch was Lorenzo Albert, the first Baron Albert.
The area of the Maya forest is huge, just like an independent kingdom, and the terrain in the forest is complex and there are many beasts. Lorenzo knew that if he continued to chase, even if he killed all the exorcists and the army, he would not be able to completely wipe out the Maya Witch.
So, he decided to stop the pursuit. Under the coordination of the exorcist headquarters, the human principalities and kingdoms bordering the Maya Forest contributed money and efforts to build several sentry fortresses around the forest to surround the Maya witches.
With the construction of Albert Castle, the Exorcist and the Maya Witch also signed a thousand-year contract. Mayan witches are no longer allowed to move out of the Mayan forest at will, and exorcists no longer enter the depths of the forest to hunt down Mayan witches. Although this millennium contract has magical effects, many of the clauses are vague.
Baron Lorenzo Albert is an extremely shrewd leader of the exorcists. He knows the weaknesses of witches and human beings as well. The baron firmly believed that with a thousand-year buffer, even if human beings lagged behind witches in the supernatural field, they could definitely leave witches behind by a large margin in other fields. By then, witches will have to perish naturally.
However, the baron is also worried that human beings with extremely short lifespans will forget the threat of Maia witches to the human world due to replacement. Only those old exorcists who have experienced the war years can firmly believe and never compromise with any evil forces.
Under such circumstances, the baron had a wonderful idea. He hoped that there would be an immortal or undead in the exorcist camp. Until the long thousand years passed.
There is no hope of becoming an immortal. The immortal believers are about to use their lives to seal immortality and undead power. It is absolutely impossible to agree with him, so the baron can only hope to retain the next undead from the exorcist camp.
The baron knew very well that his ideas were a bit deviant, and it was impossible for him to get the approval of his fellow exorcists, so he could only implement them within the Albert family. At that time, the members of the Albert family were basically exorcists, and they all had protective powers in their bodies, so they couldn't become undead.
After much deliberation, the baron finally set his sights on his youngest daughter, Elizabeth Albert, who had just turned eight years old. Due to her age, Elizabeth has not yet become an exorcist, and he still has a bottle of undead potion kept from the exorcist's headquarters in his hand. With the help of the magical power he has mastered, he can complete the conversion ceremony of the undead alone.
Elizabeth's age is not a problem. The Baron himself is in his prime, so he can slowly cultivate Elizabeth's faith and ability. In this way, an undead man with the faith of the exorcist was born...
Of course, during the implementation of the baron's plan, there were some small flaws. He only knew how to use the undead potion, but he didn't know that once the undead potion was used, the user's body would always retain the shape and appearance of the potion when it was used. Thus, Elizabeth became an eight-year-old little princess who would never grow up!
"For my father's ideal, I don't mind this little girl's body that will never grow up!" Elizabeth smiled sweetly and pulled the princess dress around the banquet hall, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, "Father's consciousness When I will never grow up again, all records about me in the family will be destroyed, and each generation of Baron Albert will be responsible for protecting me, the undead princess!"
"Thomas, is that so?" Nova's eyes flashed a hint of surprise when she heard Elizabeth's confession of the Albert family's secrets, and she couldn't help but look at Baron Thomas Albert.
Seeing Thomas, who was also Baron Albert of this generation, nodded slightly, all the exorcists had mixed emotions in their hearts. Although they still maintained the state of siege, the vigilance on their faces eased a lot.
Just as they were able to see the accuracy of Qin Lun's conjecture, now they can also judge whether Elizabeth is true or not. Make up a temporary story like this, and these shrewd exorcists can see through it at a glance.
If what the Albert family did was related to the first Baron Albert, as long as they didn't resist, then I'm afraid it would be up to the Exorcist headquarters to judge whether it was right or wrong.
At this moment, a discordant voice came from the banquet hall.
"Since Baron Lorenzo Albert asked you to be in charge of teaching the descendants of the Albert family, what about the two newly born creatures?" Qin Lun had already retreated from the center of the banquet hall to Near the door.
"Although the undead is his daughter, my father was still worried that the potion of undead would change my mind, so he signed a servant contract with me." Elizabeth ignored Qin Lun's question and just stared blankly at the doll in her hand.
"The servant contract with the undead canceled out the guardian power in his body and damaged his health. In just twenty years, he came to the end of his life." Elizabeth spread out a pair of small white arms and gestured.
"Do you know? The man who was once called the Lion of Odia weighed only forty pounds when he died, his limbs were as dry as sticks, and his belly protruded, just like a stray dog who died on the street!"
An inexplicable chill rose from everyone's tailbone, and Elizabeth's words were like whispers from the dark.
"Fifty years after my father died, I woke up from nightmares countless times, repeating the words my father taught me over and over again. 'The duty of a thousand years, the protection of a thousand years, the glory of a thousand years', at that time, I felt that I had Die with my father, this sentence is our tombstone!"
Elizabeth raised her head and smiled, "Fortunately, the nightmare about my father only lasted for more than fifty years. After that, I never dreamed about my father again. Even if I saw my father's portrait during the day, I couldn't see it Remember."
Qin Lun sighed softly, he knew that Elizabeth hadn't finished speaking.
"Although my father has left my dream, the nightmare is not over yet! After a hundred years, other people began to appear in my dream. Not only were they members of Albert, but they were also responsible for taking care of me. Servant." Elizabeth trembled her little hands slightly, and hugged the doll tightly, as if only in this way could she feel a little warmth.
"Doctor Stan, you should understand, right? That feeling of seeing familiar people die in front of you one by one, but you can't do anything. I played with them on the lawn and watched them grow up. Those innocent and lovely The smiling face slowly becomes mature and stable, and then becomes old and withered.
I was their playmate, their sister, their mother, their teacher, their daughter and granddaughter. They accompany me, guard me, and take care of me. And I teach them, depend on them, and finally... bury them! "
"During those 100 years, at every funeral, I would recall the old man's life in the coffin. Joy, sadness, helplessness, pain, they had everything in life!" A trace of envy appeared on Elizabeth's face, " Sometimes, I often wonder, if I were the one lying there, would I have all of this!"
"My father gave me a long life, but he also took away my life. I am like a bystander, and all I see are other people's lives." Speaking of this, Elizabeth showed a hint of joy, shaking small fist.
"However, by chance I got into an argument with one of Albert's boys. We fought like two fighters. He tore my hair and smashed my head, and I bit his hand. Kicked his ass hard. His wounds were stained with my blood during the fight, and a week later he was the first... Albert Werewolf!"
"Princess Elizabeth told the truth. This incident shocked Baron Albert at the time. They initially imprisoned the werewolf in the prison fortress, but later discovered that the werewolf transformed by Albert's members was still intelligent and able to become The helper of the exorcist. So, after obtaining the consent of Princess Elizabeth, began to train some Albert members to become werewolves... "
Thomas sighed and said seriously, "Later, this plan was slowly extended to certain servants who have been serving the Albert family. Princess Elizabeth can't be blamed for this, everyone can't bear to see... In fact, Albert It is also for this reason that the family seldom marries with the outside world, except that one person has to be sacrificed to become a baron, and the other Albert exorcists will be sent out of the castle when they grow up."
"So, you originally planned to make Stephen the next Baron Albert, and let Boni go out to continue the human blood of the Albert family?" Maier frowned and said, "Then what happened to Little Miller?"
"Bang!" A huge floor-to-ceiling window in the banquet hall suddenly shattered, and a vigorous figure rushed into the banquet hall from the window. At the same time, a hoarse and deep male voice sounded.
"Let me answer this question, you exorcists!"
"What is this...?" All the exorcists showed a hint of shock on their faces after seeing the figure pounced into the banquet hall from the window.
This person was wearing the costume of a sheriff of a small town. He had long wet blond hair, a pale and handsome face, strange purple pupils, and two sharp canine teeth protruding from his lips. The weirdest thing was that a pair of huge bat wings were slowly flapping behind him, somewhat like the wings of a gargoyle, floating in the air half a foot off the ground.
Qin Lun's pupils shrank slightly. The exorcists didn't know this kind of creature, but he had seen it in some books. This is a mythical creature often associated with werewolves—the vampire, also known as the vampire.
