Azeroth’s Death Track

Blood clan, this is a hidden clan in the legend of human civilization. Their appearance is always accompanied by shadows and fear, as well as the screams of children and the smell of blood. No one knows whether they really exist, just like there is no No one knows whether the nonsensical stories about werewolves and vampires falling in love and killing each other that dramatists made up really happened.

However, the human vampires really hate werewolves, because of their keen sense of smell, they can always catch well-hidden vampires out of the crowd, and then beat them up.

Other times, of course, it's vampire addicts who want to try something new and will take the initiative to provoke werewolves.

In short, the love-hate relationship between these two races is estimated to have crossed stars and dimensions and played out in every fantasy world.

In Azeroth, legends about vampires began to circulate long before Emperor Thoradin unified the Arathor Empire. According to the textual research in the book Walking with Vampires by archaeologist Bryan, the first vampires , possibly some infected vrykul of the Flesh Curse, whose bodies were altered so that they began to consume blood.

This conjecture has been proved in a ruin in Stormheim in the Broken Isles. It is said that a sleeping Vrykul blood lord was unearthed there a few months ago, and now the unlucky guy has been nailed to a birch The cross was tied up with chains made of holy silver, and then sealed in the Archaeological Museum of Mithril Castle for people to watch.

However, in the first 2,800 years of human civilization, except for the ravings of some lunatics, the ancestors of human beings have no evidence to prove the existence of vampires, but 10 years after the Dark Portal, everyone in Azeroth We all know that the blood race really exists, and after more than ten years of development, it has become an indispensable part of human civilization.

Although the empire officially does not recognize the existence of vampires in Kalimdor, so as not to cause panic to the people, in the federal area of ​​the eastern continent, the vampires are already an independent civilization, regardless of whether the previous races were elves, dwarfs, or humans. , After accepting the first embrace of blood, they have a new race and identity.

However, the blood race has always adhered to the principle of seclusion, and they all have the ability to disguise their appearance. The federal government does not force the blood race to show their identities brightly, so unless they take the initiative to expose, the ordinary people living with them are totally It is impossible to tell the difference between these beings that feed on blood.

On the side of the empire, the activities of vampires are more meticulous and dark. They live in human civilization, but they are creatures of two worlds from ordinary people. The state of life is more in line with the image of the blood clan in fantasy legends.

The origin of the vampires of the empire was an organization called the Syndicate. It had already disappeared in the torrent of history, but the vampires born of it survived. There were 4 human blood races inherited from Salein who first accepted the Dark Blade. They are all exiled nobles of the Alterac Kingdom, gathered together, trying to rebuild Alterac, but after having the blessing of blood, this short-sighted ideal was abandoned, and the first generation of 4 vampires set an order to rebuild Alterac. They set a bigger goal, they want to establish their own dark dynasty in the shadow of human civilization!

But now, they are only one step away from success.

Count Alex Barov, an old nobleman who was rumored to have died, is now entertaining his brother who came from afar in his manor. The relationship between them is not good, but Old Barlow Husbands must treat each other with courtesy, because this is a meeting of two big men in the human blood race. Whether it is based on their identities or the ancient etiquette that the blood race stubbornly abides by, old Barov cannot tolerate things hastily.

Old Earl Barov is almost 90 years old now, but just from his appearance, he is even younger than his youngest son Carlos Barov. He is wearing a well-fitting and classic dark red noble robe, The black hair is neatly combed, he wears a bow tie, and there are 3 rings that represent different meanings on his fingers. On that handsome face, there is a pair of blood-colored eyes, which makes this Blood Earl look full of joy. A graceful temperament.

Although he looks very young, every move of the old Barov is extremely in line with the demeanor of the ancient nobles. In fact, the history of the Barov family can also be traced back to the time of Emperor Thoradin, and even further forward. In the barbaric era, when the Kingdom of Alterac still existed, the Barov family was one of the most ancient families in the entire human civilization. When it comes to family history and inheritance, Barov is qualified to despise the current young kings. As well as 99% of the nobles in the entire empire, they are qualified to call others the real upstarts and bumps.

And in this living room decorated like the royal court of the high elves, opposite the silent old Barov, sat a young man in a black hunting suit. Long black hair and red eyes, but compared to the grace of old Barov, this young man's temperament is more wild, freer, and sharper.

Just from his slightly open chest, slightly messy black and white shirt and the long sword pinned to his waist, it can be seen that he is not the same as old Barov.

Tell me, O'Riden, what news have you brought?

Old Barov leaned on his cane with both hands. The top of the gorgeous cane was carved into the shape of a vulture's head. It looked a bit evil, but it also made Old Barov's big boss temperament undoubted.

He looked at Auriden Perenolde, this is another of the three elders of the imperial blood clan, and he was also one of the first generation of blood clans who accepted the blood inheritance of Salein with Barov, the first generation of human vampires They were sent back to the empire to lurk by the great lord Tyrion. In the past ten years, in addition to enjoying the eternal life wantonly, these blood races have also worked hard to provide Dark Blade with everything they need.

The vampires are very clear where their power comes from, and they are also very clear about the price they will pay for disobeying the lord of the dead. Compared with the insignificant things that the great lord asked for, the benevolent ancestor gave the vampires Theirs is obviously much more generous.

Yes, all the blood inheritances currently passed down in Azeroth, whether they are human blood races, elves Salein, or rare dwarf vampires, etc., the source of all these inheritances comes from the first blood of Azeroth. Salayne, that is, the great lord Tyrion, so in the civilization of the vampires, the great lord will also be called the ancestor, or more exaggeratedly, some fanatical vampires will call Tyrion the For Supreme Supreme.

This title represents the loyalty and reverence of the vampires towards the great lord, even though they have never really seen that powerful ancestor.

Facing old Barov's inquiry, Auriden Perenolde, the last descendant of the extinct Alterac Kingdom, straightened his body, and said softly in a magnetic and deep voice:

Three days ago, I saw Ms. Nasa again. You should not have forgotten that she brought us the source of inheritance, the bright blood gem that contains endless hope and future.

Yes, I never forgot that lady.

Old Barov nodded, he touched his handsome and young cheek with some emotion, and said:

Every day I wake up in the annoying sunlight, I feel like this is a dream, but it's not. The lady in the shadows has opened up a new world for us. Every day, I thank her from the bottom of my heart , and thank you for the decision I made back then...So, Ms. Nasa gave you an order from the Supreme?

Yes.

Oridon picked up the good blood wine in front of him, sniffed it under his nose, then took a sip of the wine, and said to the same kind in front of him:

That is the Yu Order that really came from the ancestor. The ancestor told me that he and the entire Dark Blade are about to leave the world of the living, and we, who have the purest blood inheritance, will continue to stay in this world... the ancestor gave us mission, and as long as we fulfill and abide by that mission, we can receive the last and most generous gift from our ancestors.

Auriden glanced at Old Barov, he did not keep the secret, but revealed the answer:

Freedom! True freedom!

swish

Old Barov's eyes widened at this moment. He looked at Auriden. After confirming that this guy was not joking, his voice remained steady, but the hand holding the cane trembled slightly, which represented that he was Excited, the old count said:

you mean...

We will no longer be vassals of Dark Blade or other forces, we can keep everything we have, and then become our own masters... No orders, no tasks, no shackles!

There was also a trace of unconcealable joy and rejoicing in Auriden's voice. He spread his hands and said to the old Barov in front of him:

We decide the life of ourselves and our descendants, we control everything by ourselves! Yes, freedom!

We don't need to worry about losing everything with an order from our ancestors, and we don't need to worry about being abandoned and disappearing silently into this better and better world, just like in our federation. Like our compatriots, we will also have the power to walk under the sun, and the dark dynasty we swore to build... You haven't forgotten, have you? Alex, an empire that lives in the shadows forever, our supreme long-cherished wish!

Of course I haven't forgotten!

Old Barov snorted, a gleam of light flashed in his blood-red eyes, and he said:

But it's just you and me here, what about Faculest? Is he still indulging in his stupid pirate dreams? Has he also received this order?

certainly.

Auriden also put on some covert and disdainful smiles on his face. He held a wine glass and said to Old Barov:

Also, don't belittle our compatriots so much. Fakurest is also a member of the Three-member Presbyterian Church. Although in eternal life, he chose a rude and bleak future, I heard that his subordinates Vampire pirates, the recent scene in the South China Sea is very huge, and the dark blade is leaving this world, which means that the sea demon king will also leave...

Our Faculest brother seems to have the idea of ​​becoming the second Sea Demon King... I have to say, that sounds interesting, don't worry, Alex, I have already talked to him This question, although Fakurest is a bit rude, but he is also a smart person, he knows how to choose!

Um.

The old Earl Barov nodded, his fingers were dancing on the cane, and he looked at Auriden:

So, the most important question is, what do we have to pay for this hard-won freedom? Or in an old-fashioned way, what is the price?

this!

Auriden took out a scroll from his clothes, and handed it to Old Barov, who took it in his hand, and frowned after just looking at it.

Varian? Are we going to support Varian as Emperor? This...

how?

Auriden leaned on the luxurious sofa, he raised his legs, looked at Barov playfully, and said:

Aren't you willing to obey the ancestor's order?

No no no!

Old Barov shook his head:

I will not disobey the will of the Supreme Being, I just feel that fate is a bit impermanent.

The old nobleman put the scroll aside, and said to Auriden with some regret:

I have just instructed my two sons to agree to the request of those nobles who tried to resist Varian. They want to ask the Barov family to come forward and lead them to resist the terrible future of Varian becoming the emperor. They Fearing the means of the Blood King, they are afraid of losing everything, and the shadow of that panic almost drives them crazy.

They want to be attached to my family, and they can give everything to ensure the continuation of their family. You see, I have promised to help them, and I have received a deposit. That is a lot of wealth. People, will feel sorry for the wealth...

Hahaha, what a pity.

Hearing Barov's explanation, Oridan seemed to have heard the biggest joke. He laughed backwards and forwards, and he said:

Then I can only wish them... smooth sailing on the road to hell, oh, or, you will continue to help them? That is a great fortune after all.

Of course, of course I will help them!

Old Earl Barov also raised his wine glass. Under the dim light, the dark red wine reflected an ominous light. The blood elder said calmly:

I will help them, squeeze the last bit of wealth out of their pockets, and then... I will send them to hell with my own hands! Of course, I will pay for the funeral expenses...

This is the will of the supreme being! It is a will that cannot be violated... In the face of our promised freedom, they, a group of cowardly, cowardly, greedy and vicious stupid living...

What are they?
