Lily's efficiency was really high. When Zach came back, the pits in the tomb area had been dug, and she offered to help Zach bury all the bodies.
"You're not going to secretly save some arms and legs or something like that." As a vampire, Zach really doesn't want to do this work himself, but he still needs to confirm what needs to be confirmed.
"No." Lily felt insulted. Strictly speaking, she was not helping Zach, but helping Logan complete Zach's work.
"Don't mind, I just want to tell you that these people died suddenly because of the Republic's alien restraint drugs. No one knows whether these corpses are safe for Federation aliens."
"The medicine used by the Republic to deal with alien races will kill the humans in the Federation?!" Lily was shocked.
This... reaction is normal, especially being summed up in this way. It's true, it's just that the way we looked at it wasn't so...precise. We were too caught up in the vampire struggle within Barton.
It was because of Lily's words that Zach didn't rest all night.
New sunrise, new day. Zach called Mary Church and began caring for baby Adam while waiting for a reply. Zach, who did not want to have too much contact with Jessica Fang, the representative of hell who is now building a new Holy Lord faith, needs the help of hell to find the souls of those who died from Republican drugs.
Before Mary Church could reply, Zach received a call from Thorin Rimmer, "I'll be right over."
Five minutes later, Thorin arrived. Zach watched as a pool of his aunt's red stuff flowed across the gravel road, climbed up Grand's wall, then squeezed into the room through the window gap, and finally gathered into a human shape on the floor of Grand's office.
"Are you really here, or is it just a clone of you?" Just curious.
"The main body." Thorin answered, "Don't you still know how to judge the main body and the clone of Rimel?"
"have no idea."
"Oh." Thorin looked surprised, "Look at the blood volume, the main body always holds most of the blood volume." Showing himself, "As you can see, most of my blood volume is here."
Zach held the baby while breastfeeding, and continued to talk nonsense before the main topic began, "I've always been curious about how you, Rimmer, achieve this... ability."
By the way, is anyone curious about the principle of Rimmer's ability to turn into a pool of auntie red at any time? Transformed? The Gangro kind
"Oh." Thorin looked surprised again, "I thought everyone knew."
"No, no one knows. Even in the Secret Alliance, Rimmer rarely communicates his abilities with other clans." Zach is very qualified to make this judgment, because in the Secret Alliance, Toledo and Rimmer The clan I deal with the most.
"Well, it's not really a secret." Thorin didn't seem to be in a hurry to start the topic, watching Zac feeding the baby, "The vampire race... Well, the definition is blood. Blood gives vampires the ability to heal. Blood Gave vampires eternal life. This is our Riemer, no, the definition of vampires given by the magicians who were once human beings. It has nothing to do with the Holy Lord’s presupposition of creating vampires. As scholars who seek magical knowledge, former human magicians From the expression of vampires..." Thorin knew that his statement might offend others, "Function, to understand the vampire race. And blood is the definition given by previous scholars."
Zack didn't need to agree with Thorin's words. Zach was not a magician, but he understood it quite easily and was not offended. "The former human magician became a vampire just for this 'blood', and used his eternal body to study magic."
"Yes." Thorin nodded, "This is the reason why Rimmer exists. So the magicians in the past used their lifelong knowledge to claim this 'blood' as their own. They took their human souls , integrated into the eternal 'blood'. Rimel was born."
"Wait a minute, I'm really curious. How did you integrate the soul restrained by vampire blood into vampire blood? For four centuries, all the vampires of the thirteen clans have defined Rimel as half-human and half-vampire. , but to be honest, I don’t believe this statement, especially now.” Adam seemed to be full. Zach asked Thorin to wait, put Adam back in the crib, and called Bain’s wife from the living area. After taking care of him, he returned to the office and continued:
"The true definition of a vampire cannot be half-and-half. The creators of vampires are restrained by the blood of vampires." It means that thousands of years ago, the soul dagger was used to forcibly enhance the vampire to a complete body, and then Cain and Cain were His children had cleansed their faith in the Holy Lord, "You want me to believe that human magicians from thousands of years ago had more power than the Holy Lord and could control vampires' restraint on souls?"
Zach would have this thought, naturally because of his recent experience, which made him a little unhappy and wondering why? The Republic has the belief that all things can be born according to the laws of the world. Some of the alien races of the Republic who practice this belief have completely transformed into the so-called truth, such as 'Jian', who has become the Republic's own local gods and Indians. The witchcraft belief that advocates the laws of nature, the only wizard who did not let his soul return to nature, transcended death and became the god of the Indians, Papa Midnight...
The belief in the origin of vampires has been occupied by a god from another dimension since Cain was born, or perhaps earlier. Believe in heaven and hell spread by gods from another world!
Unhappy as it is, Zach can’t imagine what weird things would happen if the god on that continent was not the Holy Lord, but the conclusion is there: “I don’t believe that the Holy Lord was definitely the absolute power on that continent. No offense intended, but once upon a time it was impossible for a magician to have knowledge and abilities that surpassed the Holy Lord, and broke the definition of vampire that even the Holy Lord was powerless to do."
"The former magician didn't break anything." Thorin obeyed Zack's words without any intention of rebutting, "The soul will continue to be corroded by the blood of vampires. This is the same for any vampire clan, and we Rimmer All I did was..." He hesitated, obviously touching on Rimel's core secret.
Thorin's hesitation was a little short-lived, "It's just to let the soul pretend to be a human being."
"ha?"
"Rimmer's life is constantly repeating." Thorin looked at Zach, "We will execute the life cycle like normal humans. Age, children grow into adults, adults age into old people, and then start again."
The second one, "Huh?"
"Zachary Toredo, how long have you been stagnant at this stage of your life, um, the prime of adulthood for an adult male with a perfect vampire appearance?"
No need to count, "four centuries."
Thorin nodded, "That's what it means. For four centuries, you and all vampires except Rimel have been repeating a life stage. Because the self-healing ability of your blood will not let you age and prevent you from becoming a real person." Human beings, no, any creature in this world, experience the stacking of ages and realize the natural accumulation of souls." Thorin looked at Zach, "Your time was created by the Holy Lord into an eternal 'now'. You don't In the past, you have no future, you only have the present."
Zach... seems to understand something.
Thorin "Your souls are not worthy of existing in a world driven by the law of time. They will only be erased by time little by little, thrown into the past where you do not exist, and move towards a future that will eventually turn into nothingness." Thorin Looking at Zach seriously, "After the soul has expanded, I think with your wisdom, you should have noticed the truth about the so-called vampire's restraint on the soul. It is a truth that is deeper than the 'truth' that Sissi told you."
Is the truth the truth...
"Those cyclic times created by soul expansion, those timelines that diverge from the real world, worlds that disappear forever."
Thorin sighed. He was not an anthropomorphic person, he was half a human being. "That is the truth about the corruption of vampire souls. It is the time of this world that is constantly eliminating the abnormal existence of vampires. Think about it again why the complete body The vampire will be connected to purgatory, simply because a complete vampire is a creature that no longer has the ability to carry the law of time. The eternal void that lost its soul and was born in the eternal body is... "
Thorin looked at the floor, "It's purgatory."
Let Zach think about it, let everyone think about it...
Done thinking. Give Rimmer a thumbs up. The predecessors of Rimmer, those magicians may not have been able to do anything to achieve the local gods under the control of the Holy Lord thousands of years ago, but they have finally made it today, thousands of years later. These achievements have made them understand the true will time of this world.
Then, the question still needs to be answered, "So, the reason why Rimmel is stacked in age like humans is..." Zach left the question blank and asked Thorin to complete it.
"It's cheating. We, Rimer, are constantly breaking, collapsing, and destroying our bodies, forcing vampire blood to heal itself and rebuild our bodies. Over and over again, to create the illusion of human growth. Then We consume so-called food, constantly polluting our eternal bodies, over and over again, to create the illusion of human aging. Riemer, deceived the world, 'it (time)' cannot see vampire eternity With a stagnant body, the whole world can only see a soul container that keeps stacking up with age as time goes on."
Zach's reaction, "This...'cheating', can it be copied?"
"Sorry, no, there is no magic to protect the soul in this infinite self-mutilation body. Any vampire other than Rimel would commit suicide if he copied this method." Thorin looked at Zach again, "Vampires are created by the Holy Lord. Your eternal body is the only way for a vampire to exist in this world. The moment you destroy your body, the will of this world will obliterate you. Just like you sent the Holy Lord into a timeline that does not exist. ." Ha, it turns out that the vampire that only exists now is a cat locked in a box~~ It exists, but it doesn't exist~~ And then you will die when you open the box~~~
Uh, why do I say this in a cheerful tone. Forget it, the communication between two vampires was inserted into a third party
Without warning, "What kind of magic can a wizard learn?" It was Sam, "I can protect Zach's soul, no matter how much Zach's soul is left."
"Hey..." Thorin sighed again, and the wonderful topic unfolded like this, "This is why Eve and Lydia risked destroying their relationship with the Smith family, and also smuggled the Republic's drugs to suppress those who had already cooperated with the Smith family. The real reason why Nophele formed an alliance with Sibera." Looking into Zach's eyes, he answered both Sam and Zach, "Wizards can learn. In the past year, the joint research on witchcraft and magic in the Tower of Babel has been It proves that these two technologies come from the same source and are both applications of the laws of the world. But please answer me a question. If the wizard has learned the deepest secret of Rimmer's existence, then Rimmer still has a need to exist. What?"
Therefore, Zach reminded Eve countless times, openly and secretly, that the Rimmer clan could no longer separate from the collective and only focus on their own research as before, which was effective.
This is Eve's decision, she is creating value for Rimel's future.
