After returning from the temple, everyone temporarily rested in Bernia's yurt, discussing plans for further exploration of the world while digesting the newly obtained information. Hessiana stood beside Vivian dangling boredly, playing with a small blood ball in her hand to entertain herself. Baptiste's incident ended in an unexpected way, and she felt like she had punched cotton, so she was waiting for Vivienne to decide what to do next.
And Vivian has been playing with the blood crystal since just now, thinking hard about what it means. The crystal floated up and down in her hand, but neither magic nor blood could change it. It was like a cold, ordinary, beautiful stone that kept all its secrets.
"Still don't remember who Beatrice is?" Hao Ren glanced at Vivienne, "I haven't remembered about this crystal either?"
"You know the state of my brain," Vivienne shook her head with a wry smile, "I have forgotten Paul for three hundred years. But it seems that I have forgotten Beatrice even more completely... Even if I know her name , I didn’t think of a single thing.”
"Maybe the name has been changed, maybe Beatrice is just a title for a witch," Cassandra said suddenly, "witches and wizards often give themselves some 'alternative names' between their names and titles, and they use these codes Casting spells with your name can prevent you from being backlashed by the devil's power or being tracked by the devil. However, I heard that this method does not always work, and the more powerful hell creatures can directly find out their real names."
"It's a pity that Beatrice is dead. Even if we bring Y'zaks here, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out what the witch's real name is." Hao Ren shook his head. He knew Vivienne's memory state well. Knowing Beatrice's real name back then would help Vivienne think about the crystal and the witch, but in this state, no one can place any hope on Vivienne's terrible mind.
"Sorry," Vivienne glanced at everyone apologetically, rubbing her forehead in embarrassment, "I've tried my best to think about it."
Lily watched from the side, and rarely felt sympathy for Vivienne. She patted the latter on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "There is no way, after all, I am old."
Vivian rolled her eyes and said, "Squat beside me!"
Lily bared her teeth. While maintaining a squatting state and moving sideways, he muttered: "Cut, I don't know what's good."
"The other key is what exactly is this crystal." Nangong Sanba looked at the red crystal floating above Vivienne's palm firmly, "You gave a similar crystal to me when you were sleeping three hundred years ago. It is with your manuscript—which means it is something of considerable importance, as important as your memory. But have you not left any clues to open it?"
"Even if there is a clue, I will forget it, and even if this clue is in front of me, I will not know it." Vivienne sighed long, "When you even forget what you forgot, you can't do anything. It doesn't help. I can only feel that the breath in this crystal is much weaker than the one Paul kept, maybe because Beatrice has absorbed magic power from it for many years and it has weakened it-I even Almost didn't realize it was my blood clotted."
Lily looked up at Vivienne, and muttered softly: "So we need to take care of the empty-nest old bat..."
"No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak!"
"Anyway, this thing is the only clue related to summoning the 'Lord of Blood'," Hao Ren knocked on the table, "Baptiste was just a wizard apprentice before Beatrice disappeared, how could he possibly Researched the ritual of summoning the Blood King—not to mention sealing such a powerful evil spirit in one's own spellbook. So these must have been inherited from Beatrice. All his magical skills, early knowledge, and Magical items that may have something to do with Vivienne. All from Beatrice. This crystal..."
At this time, Lily raised her hand again to express that she had something to say: "If it were me, I would eat it and try it."
"Do you think everyone is a husky? When you see something you don't know, take a bite first to taste the saltiness?" Hao Ren squinted at the girl who had been out of track for a long time. "Do you know what this crystal is?"
"I know." Lily's expression was unexpectedly serious, "You think I'm joking? This crystal is made by the bat with its own blood—so it's basically something inside the bat's own body. What can happen if you eat it?"
Hao Ren was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Lily's statement made some sense... But thinking about it later, he felt that he couldn't understand the husky's thinking. Why did he have to eat it if he knew it wouldn't hurt his stomach? ? Or how did this guy associate the key to solving the problem with "eating"!
But Vivienne didn't know what to think, and actually put the crystal to her mouth: "Maybe you can try."
"Wait a minute!" Hao Ren hurriedly grabbed her, "Are you sure you really want to follow Lily's brain-twitching suggestion?"
"It was my own blood anyway," Vivian licked her lips. "Re-absorbing it may reveal something, at least you can find a fragment of the impression when this crystal was made—information can be stored in the blood of the vampire."
Heather Anna also nodded to support Vivienne's statement. Seeing this, Hao Ren could only give up dissuading him. He watched Vivienne nervously put the thin slice of crystal into his mouth, and couldn't help but ask after a while, "Do you want... some mashed garlic?"
"It's blood spar, not blood tofu!" Hesianna glared at Hao Ren with her hands on her hips, then turned to Vivian, "Master Vivian, what's your reaction?"
"Wait a minute," Vivienne waved her hand to signal for peace of mind, "I'm absorbing it."
She restored the blood crystal to its original form and sucked it into her body, trying her best to distinguish every trace of information contained in it. During this process, her complexion changed from time to time, constantly switching between confusion and memories. Soon she discovered that the blood spar was formed earlier than she expected, and some extremely fragmented fragments suddenly flooded into her memory. The fragments came from an age she had never expected, and an even more unexpected age. perspective.
She saw another self's activities on this planet from the perspective of a bystander. Although the scene was only for a short moment, she learned more from her memory than the picture.
Vivian opened her eyes suddenly, and the bloody light in her eyes flashed away. Her power was about to explode uncontrollably within a thousandth of a second. The prey of a mighty force—it might even be said that this force was directed at him. But soon this hallucinatory coercion disappeared, and Vivian fully woke up from her memory. The first thing she did was to look up at Gezel: "What's under Dorasil?"
The ancient city of Doraziel is said to be a "city of rituals" built by survivors on the earth after the end of the ancient Sun Dynasty. It was established after the sky closed. stay in this world. Geisel was a little confused by Vivienne's question: "That holy city? Is there something underground?"
"There's something... It's deep underground in Dorazil, there should be another city there," Vivienne stood up abruptly, "It's not too late, we must go there immediately."
"Wait a minute," Hao Ren stopped Geisel, who was about to obey orders, and looked at Vivienne, "Must we leave now? Will it be a problem if we postpone it for a day?"
"Postponed by one day?" Vivian was a little puzzled, "If it's just one day, it should be..."
Hao Ren raised his finger to the top, indicating the sky outside the tent: "It's getting late, and you obviously need to rest, and so do the others."
Only then did Vivienne calm down from the turbulent emotions. She noticed that not only Lily was dozing off, but Nangong Wuyue had also slept with her tail crossed into a coil of mosquito coils. Nangong Sanba, Heather Anna and others were not so serious, but it was obvious that everyone was not in their prime.
"That's right. Let's go tomorrow. I'm sorry I'm too excited." Vivienne returned to normal and smiled faintly. Residual emotional pull, a little bit out of control."
Hao Ren nodded, wisely, he didn't directly ask what the other party saw in the illusion, but arranged everyone's itinerary: "Well, we will rest at the Fire Tribe tonight and go to the Wind Tribe tomorrow."
Vivienne nodded slightly, and had no objection to this arrangement. (to be continued~^~)
