Those who accept the First Embrace will awaken the ability to sense energy and become descendants of the blood race. This is also a way for the Natantine nobles to expand their power. However, this method of forced awakening will continue to weaken the strength of the bloodline, which can generally only be expanded two to three times. Those descendants are not heirs in the usual sense, but more accurately, they should have a master-slave relationship.
The inheritance ceremony is to inherit everything one owns to the next generation. Both parties have an equal relationship. The latter can also have the lifespan and power of the former, which is similar to the continuation of the listener. Once the inheritance ceremony is completed, the mistress's energy and blood will be greatly damaged, and she will become more ordinary in a short period of time. Even if she can recover later, she will not be able to return to her previous peak level.
As a vampire with an extremely long lifespan, usually only when they are tired of the world or seriously injured, they will choose the next generation to carry out the inheritance ceremony. Since most of the Vampires died in long-sleeping accidents, and few died of death, this technique was almost lost, and only the Natantine royal family would learn it.
After listening to Hua Lin's explanation, Xia Fan sighed for a moment.
Obviously, Mother Stitch did this to accompany King Yong.
She even gave her most precious blood as a gift to the crystallization of both parties.
Going to sleep in such a state is obviously not a safe approach.
The final result is that the mistress, like most vampires, never wakes up from her long dream.
In the past, Yong Dynasty did not regard monsters as mortal enemies. Monsters recognized by the government could even walk on the streets openly. Such a situation must be inseparable from the attitude of King Yong.
Princess Muye and Feleyton were silent for a long time, and finally the latter broke the silence and said, "That girl... is the heir of the mistress..."
"It shouldn't be wrong." Hua Lin affirmed. "The Key of the Zodiac can use her blood to guide us to the tomb of the Mistress, which proves that her connection with the Mistress is better than anyone else in the royal family. I just didn't expect that her The level of blood relationship is higher than the first love."
Xia Fan naturally knew who the girl they were talking about was.
"But Qianyan doesn't want to be a real vampire, right?"
The most significant difference is the Xin Xing technique.
Whether it is the first embrace or the transformation, these are abilities that high-level vampires are born with. Qianyan's Xinxing magic is Kanlei, and he is good at turning water into ice, just like other living dead.
"She is indeed not a vampire." Hua Lin nodded, "This may be a special case - as a child of the King of the Eastern Empire, she may have received some blessings from King Yong, which caused some changes in her body. , became what it is now.”
"Then Qianyan was taken out of Baiyao Mountain by the remaining people and ended up living in seclusion in Fang's family?" Xia Fan pondered, "The rest of the living dead are probably also caused by Qianyan's bloodline."
"This should be the truth..." Feleyton agreed, "That child... No, although Lord Qianyan is not a vampire and does not know the method of first embrace, the power flowing in her blood cannot lie. Through other methods It shouldn’t be difficult for the Fang family to obtain descendants.”
If so, everything would make sense. Xia Fan thought to himself, why the living dead have a long lifespan, why their bodies are frozen in a certain period of time, and why their memories are lost after recovery from serious injuries... These are all because of Qianyan. His and her vampire power was incomplete, completely different from a naturally born demon like Li, and the Qi given by King Yong also played a role. Therefore, in a sense, the living dead can be regarded as man-made monsters. If the original blood does not continue to be extracted from Qian Yan, this lineage will disappear completely sooner or later.
He could also understand why Qian Yan's life experience would be completely erased. After all, she was a descendant of King Yong and a Qi sensor who combined the power of the two clans. If such an existence is publicized, it will either ascend to the throne in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, or it will be exterminated by the court.
Facts have proved that Qian Yan's identity has been kept the strictest secret. Not only did she not know her origins, she even served for the Yong Dynasty for a period of time and overthrew the rule of the last King Yong in the War of the Six Kingdoms. The group of people who took Qian Yan away from the mountains may be the founders of the Fang family, but apart from passing down the coins, the head of the family never revealed a word to future generations.
Only when Qianyan himself wanted to find this part of his life experience could he unlock the seal in the courtyard and get a glimpse of these murals that had been sealed for more than a hundred years.
"What are you going to do?" Xia Fan looked at Princess Muye and Feleyton.
The two looked at each other for a moment before Hua Lin said, "Since the mistress wishes to rest with the King of Eternity, we will naturally respect her decision and re-seal this tomb. As for the life experience of the new mistress, we want to give it the right to decide Over to you."
"Me?" Xia Fan said unexpectedly.
"Yes. After all, Master Qianyan is not from Natantine, and he shouldn't be very interested in Celesti's power struggle. There won't be much difference between knowing this life experience and keeping it hidden for her." Hua Lin said slowly, "I can see that Master Qianyan trusts you, so it is the most appropriate thing for you to decide whether to tell the truth."
"...I understand." Xia Fan pondered for a while, nodded and replied, "What about Her Royal Highness the Princess? Now that the mystery of the whereabouts of the mistress has been solved, where are you planning to go next?"
"I also want to follow in the footsteps of my mistress one day, visit various wonders in the Eastern Continent, and then find a suitable place as my own tomb." Hua Lin smiled frankly, "But there Jinxia City was very good before. And the bank has just opened for business, so you should also need Mr. Three Eyes' help, right?"
"Of course." Xia Fan smiled back, "Besides, I can guarantee that no matter where you go in the future, Jinxia City will always have a place for you."
…
The next day, Xia Fan was also preparing to return to Jinxia City from Baiyao Mountains.
He and Mo Yun spent a whole night selecting a large number of standard talismans that could be put into use immediately, and planned to build a small transmission station first to verify the feasibility of energy transmission between the two places. Although it is important to learn the system knowledge stored in the Tianjing database, it is also very urgent to convert Tianjing resources into real benefits.
King Yong already knows everything that happened in the Tianjing area, and the Seven Star Privy Council will obviously not sit back and watch the previous failure in the battle for Yazhou Harbor. Jinxia City must digest and absorb the power of the escape tower as soon as possible in order to more safely deal with the challenges posed by the enemy.
As for Si Kong watching from the patio, he wasn't worried about his opponent being able to infiltrate for a while.
But the moment the carriage door opened, Xia Fan and others suddenly saw a woman they had never seen before—
"The special train to the mountain climbing station is about to leave. Please wear protective clothing and take your seats in order." She raised her hand and said, "I will provide services to you throughout the journey."
