Mysterious journey

"Did you succeed?" Garen asked.

‘It’s just an ordinary void bug. You’re lucky. This guy is not very intelligent. He can only steal the image of life in your dreams and trick you into lowering your vigilance, thereby temporarily paralyzing your nerves. No wonder its plague contamination was relatively low. ’ Hesas said in a tone that you are very lucky.

"Is this still light?" Garen was surprised. He carefully pressed the leather of the sofa with his hands. It was very strong, with delicate texture and slightly cold temperature. They clearly told him that he was not in a dream now. .

‘Of course, void bugs are the weakest category of void creatures, which means they are as weak as bugs on the roadside. Sometimes we may trample a lot of them to death unconsciously when we enter and leave the void. ’

Hesas answered naturally.

Garen was speechless. He could not imagine how terrifying the ancient Yinduo Demon Kings were in their heyday.

'Look down at your ring. ’

After Garen heard this, he lowered his head and looked at his black ring. The black ring inlaid with lines of blood-colored gemstones actually had a small purple-black diamond-shaped crystal piece stuck to it. The crystal piece is about the size of the fingernail of your index finger. Its surface has a texture similar to wood, but it is translucent.

Use your right hand to pull the crystal piece off the ring. It looks like it is growing on the surface of the ring, like crops and mushrooms in the land.

Picking up the crystal piece and pinching it, Garen smelled it and found a faint aroma of milk. .

'This is the void crystal, also called the core of the void. It is a crystal in the body of void creatures. Some analysts say it is the crystallization of their energy and life, but I personally think that this should be the higher-density skeletal deposits in their bodies, but no matter What it is, this thing can lift the debilitating condition in you. ’ Hesas explained.

"So how do I use it?"

‘You can eat it, or you can use magic power to slowly absorb its vitality. The choice is yours. ’

"Can I see the corpse of the void bug?" Garen was somewhat curious about void creatures.

'Unfortunately, you can't see it. Most void creatures are just a blurry shadow or mist, and few of them leave corpses after death. rare. ’ Hesas said casually, ‘Perhaps you will have the opportunity to see the kind of void creature that can leave corpses in the future, but it is far from now. ’

Garen thought for a moment, then stuffed it directly into the glove of his right hand, letting it be slowly absorbed by the magic killing hand.

"Then what?" he asked.

‘Then your weakness will not continue, it will be temporarily lifted, and it will be completely lifted after the fifth day, that’s it. ’ Hesas answered simply. ‘You can choose which direction to take after that? ’

"What direction?"

‘The direction of the warlock, secret martial arts training, or summoning control. It's all up to you to decide. Of course these are just two general classifications. If you want to take the path of secret martial arts training, then you can focus on practicing one secret martial arts and hone your martial arts by constantly hunting void creatures. Your level of secret martial arts has reached a very high level. Even in our time, you could be promoted to general level. If it is summon control, then you can collect the core of the void as the army you summon. In the future, you can even summon the true spirit marks of the ancient powerful in multiple numbers to form an army. ’

‘To put it simply, these are two general directions. Is it mainly about strengthening individuals, or is it mainly about improving quantity? ’

"Didn't I make my choice long ago?" Garen replied calmly.

'Right. ’

******************

Grandor belongs to the Vaiya state, the state and city underground blood alliance council hall.

The broad golden domed hall was brightly lit, and there were hundreds of people sitting sparsely in the hall, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Standing on the white high platform is a gentle young man wearing white-rimmed glasses. He is wearing a white suit. His hair is pulled back by hairspray and has a charming and gentle smile on his face. Standing on the high platform, he looks like The most calm speaker has a light aura of style.

Facing the buzzing and noisy venue in front of him and hundreds of different eyes and eyes, the man looked calm.

"In response to the recent increasingly rampant activities of the Camarilla, a killing order was issued from above. After repeated warnings failed, these terrorists openly took the most extreme measures to ignore all obstacles, causing tens of thousands of casualties in Victoria. As the governor of the Blood Alliance of Vaiya, I would like to express my deep regret and sorrow for the deaths of five of our compatriots. Master Hongyue was severely injured and his subordinates were hunted down everywhere. I only learned of this news today. Pale The leader has issued a general notice that in two months, all members of the Ming Party will pursue the secret party with all their strength. Anyone who conceals adultery and assists the secret party will be sentenced to more than two hundred years of bloodless imprisonment. I hope you can reflect on yourselves. If there are any violations, they should be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary dance parties."

The buzzing gradually quieted down, and a bejeweled white-haired old lady, one of the only three upper-class vampires in Vaiya, stood up.

"In response to the rampant actions of the secret party, I think we should first protect Lord Hongyue's direct blood relatives. They are currently being hunted and assassinated. Why can't our tracking marks find their location? I think there may be someone within the blood alliance. People are carrying out interference and sabotage. I think the Blood Alliance Intelligence Department should be thoroughly investigated!"

After she finished speaking, she slowly sat down, with a young girl supporting her beside her.

"I agree with Ms. Verse's view." Another upper-class vampire stood up and spoke. This is a bright-looking middle-aged man with a strong build, wearing a black suit and dark red tie.

"As a low-ranking region among the thirty-two states in the country, our Vaiya state is not the most important in terms of economic status and geographical population. But even in such an area, we can't find Lord Hongyue's blood relatives. , or even unable to contact them at all. This is undoubtedly a problem of the Intelligence Department of the Blood Alliance. I suspect that someone may even be using the Intelligence Department to deceive our investigation. If there is no reasonable explanation for this matter, we will withdraw from the Intelligence Department. The family forces form their own investigation team.”

Immediately, these words attracted a series of voices of approval, and a large number of middle-ranking vampires spoke out in agreement.

The blood alliance was originally formed by the gathering of family power members from various blood clans, and the family power of each blood clan was an integral part of it. If there is really a trend of covering up Goth's withdrawal, then the so-called blood alliance will completely become an empty frame.

The bespectacled man who was both the governor and the leader of the Blood Alliance frowned slightly.

"Is it too early to make radical remarks now? Mr. Hendry, although the Blood Alliance has handled this matter improperly, it has always been our strongest support in other matters. We cannot let it be because of a small thing. It is too radical to clamor for the dissolution of the Blood Alliance and withdrawal from the Blood Alliance for minor problems. Regarding the issue of intelligence positioning, I will take measures as soon as possible. The Intelligence Department will conduct a major inspection. I have no control over other states, but we in Vaiya The state will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. The date will be within three months!"

The governor said firmly.

"Okay! Then we will wait for you for three months!" The middle-aged man Hendry sat down with narrowed eyes and exchanged glances with Ms. Vers who was sitting on the chair not far away.

half an hour later

The meeting ended, and the crowd walked out of the hall, entered the passage, and headed towards the ground elevator.

Hendry was followed by more than a dozen middle-level and lower-level Vampires, deliberately lagging slightly behind, and unknowingly walking side by side with Ms. Vers in the crowd.

The small groups around the two people gradually moved closer and merged, consciously creating a safe and private environment for the two people.

Hendry held a cigarette in his hand, took a puff, and blew out two thin streams of blue smoke from his nostrils.

"It seems that the secret party's tentacles have extended far enough. I plan to ask Aier to investigate the situation personally. Lord Hongyue was kind to me five hundred years ago. I can't just watch him in danger."

Vers was holding a slender silver-white cane and walked tremblingly.

"Grave Crow Elle? That's your most powerful general. Is he about to be promoted to a higher position? I remember that she had reached the peak of her rank a hundred and twenty years ago."

"It's coming soon, but it's not so easy to get promoted. Maybe there will be hope after waiting two hundred years." Hendry shook his head, "I will pursue this matter to the end, and I hope you can support me, madam. The governor's attitude is... It’s a little unclear.”

"There is nothing we can do about it. Two of the governor's descendants have switched to the secret party, and one of them was killed by him himself. It was fine before the conflict between the two parties intensified, but now that it has intensified, the situation has become complicated. . He is already old and can no longer split his blood core to create new descendants. If his family loses another descendant, if something happens to him, his status will be unstable." Vers said with emotion.

Hendry nodded in understanding.

"According to the information I have, there are fifteen secret party infiltration points in this state, of which the three around Bivente City are the most serious. The witch allies there have submitted an application to control the number of vampires to my family in advance. They are interested in I am extremely dissatisfied with the increase in the number of secret parties. I have sent the family's strength to investigate, but only at great risks. I need your support, madam."

"No problem, I will let the people in charge from various places cooperate with you. The towns of Elvin, Biwente, Kama, Xili, Grandor, and Marseille have the largest number of secret parties. This is what my people obtained from within the Blood Alliance. Blocked information. I hope you can have a good result." Vers whispered.

"I hope so, thank you for the information." Hendry pondered for a moment, nodded, then bit his cigarette butt and led the people, slowly walking towards the other elevator entrance in the passage.

Vers looked at Hendry's figure and shook her head slightly.

"The Ming Party clan has long been accustomed to a gentle and peaceful life and enjoyment. I didn't expect Hendry to be able to clearly state his position regardless of interests. But the result is not optimistic. The Ming Party has been accustomed to a peaceful life for too long. The more you have, the more timid you become.”

The girl next to her frowned.

"I think the biggest trouble is that we can't tell who is the secret party among the bright parties. The poisonous snakes hiding in the dark are the most terrifying."

"That's right. Stay vigilant." Vers sighed.
