source blood

The second floor of the Bianchi Manor houses the most important rooms of the manor.

The study of the master, the bedroom of the master and the master, and the reception room for meeting important guests.

Apart from these three, even the living room of the earl's two sons was not qualified to set foot here.

It was late at night, and even the servants who kept the manor running had gone to rest.

The lights in the reception room on the second floor turned on uncharacteristically.

Looking in through the light from the window slit, you can see deep red velvet curtains, exquisite jacquard carpets, a rose lounge chair is placed near the window, and directly opposite the rose lounge chair is a tea break There is a small round table and two armchairs.

Behind them, a huge portrait of the Virgin Mary is embedded in the white wall.

Today, in this luxuriously furnished drawing room, a pale and handsome young man in flamboyant clothes stands under a portrait of the Virgin Mary.

He held a glass with a scarlet liquid in his hand. The liquid in the glass shook slightly with his movements. Under the light, the color of the liquid was strange and congealed, not like red wine, but more like blood .

In the living room, besides the guests, the host is also present.

Rhine's elder brother was welcoming the guest.

He bowed his knees, full of humility: "...my lord, this is the news I want to tell you: I don't know why, Rhine suddenly has the ability like a noble blood, he is silent, almost melting into the night, speed Faster than a bird, he seems transformed."

"Now I'm worried whether he found out about those things before,"

The guest didn't pay much attention to what his brother said.

He took a sip of blood from the glass, showing two fangs in his mouth.

It was a vampire!

The elder brother bent his waist even lower.

He talked about Rhine with this guest because this guest played a vital role in the Rhine incident.

The opponent is a blood race.

The other party had a quarrel with Rhine.

This used to be more fun to say.

Rhine is a genius, and this one is also a genius.

In a church assessment, the new genius defeated the old genius, and people abandoned the loser, and turned flowers, applause, and eyes to the winner.

From cloud to valley, it only takes one battle.

So the frustrated loser left the light angrily and fell into the embrace of darkness.

This is an era of chaos and order, where a gorgeous and corrupt city stands.

There are bright churches under the day, and of course there are dark blood races under the night.

The losers fled to the embrace of darkness and became the new blood race.

It took some time for the elder brother to find this person.

The reason why he tried everything possible to find this person could not be simpler.

Jealousy doesn't just happen to people who are hostile to Rhine.

His dear brother, brother five years younger than him.

Since childhood, he has shown many more talents and characteristics than his elder brother.

He is handsome.

His silver hair, his gray-blue eyes, even his shapely, muscular body.

And his temperamental words and deeds.

And his genius mind and genius learning ability.

There seemed to be nothing about him that was not sought after.

The high level of the church favored him, and there was news that he would be promoted exceptionally; the princess of the kingdom had pursued him, hoping to marry the knight.

The Lord loves him.

How can one not be jealous of all of this?

Especially when the elder brother found out that his parents were focusing on Rhine more and more, and when his father, who was an earl, wanted to change his will, a poisonous snake of jealousy bit his heart.

He made a simple plan.

He found the blood clan who had an enmity with Rhine, and originally planned to persuade the blood clan to assassinate Rhine.

But at this moment, he heard another exciting news.

Not everyone in the church likes Rhine, at least the Knight Commander, who feels that his status is in jeopardy, has a lot of opinions on Rhine.

Light and darkness are inherently opposed, but the church and the blood race do not have to fight each other to the death all the time.

His simple plan turned into a bold one.

At the same time, he contacted the blood clan and the knight commander, and persuaded them to join in the plan against Rhine.

The knight commander found an excuse to directly excommunicate Rhine from the church.

The Blood Race took this opportunity to brand Rhine with dark marks.

The knight commander expelled a rising star who could threaten his status, and he would not arouse suspicion in the church's follow-up investigation, and he kept his position.

The blood clan took revenge on Rhine before it was too late, and Rhine who was expelled from the church would lose the protection of the family at the same time, because the family would not accept a child who would shame the family.

Everything is so perfect.

The elder brother who made this perfect plan was secretly proud.

But now, the plan went awry at the end of what was supposed to be a final conclusion, like a statue that had already been carved suddenly lost a hand before it was put on the exhibition stand.

That's not Venus with a broken arm, that's just a failed work!

The elder brother felt uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but invite the blood race to come to the house and tell the other party the important news.

But obviously, this news did not attract the attention of the blood race.

The genius who used to be named Luca turned his head to face his brother: "You want to say that Rhine has become a noble blood?"

Brother: "This is just my ignorant opinion."

Luca smiled and said: "Impossible, all the blood races in this city are under the management of the Duke of Death, and my father is the Duke's favorite descendant, managing the registration of new blood races. If someone wants to develop descendants, he must pass My father obtained the consent of the duke, and after the duke approved it and my father stamped it, he could embrace each other for the first time. During this period of time, he did not come to make such a request, and it is impossible for Rhine to become a blood race."

The elder brother was cautious: "Maybe that person hugged Rhine in private without applying?"

Luca seemed to have heard a big joke, and he laughed: "In this city, is there anyone who dares to disobey the order issued by the Duke of Death? Whether it's a blood race, a human being, or even those gods of light staying in the church bugs, they all want-"

The door of the reception room was slammed open!

The two people who stayed and talked were taken aback. The elder brother turned his head angrily and snapped: "Who is it? Didn't see that I was talking to the distinguished guest——"

His words failed to speak.

Count Bianchi scolded him in the same harsh voice: "Enough, shut up now, the priest is here!"

Only then did the two people in the reception room see clearly the two people who broke through the door and entered.

They looked at the count and the priest in amazement.

After a while, the elder brother was puzzled: "Father, why did you bring the priest in here? Let me introduce, this one is..."

"No need to introduce." The priest said coldly, "I know the person next to you. He used to be my disciple, but now he is just a young vampire who has not broken through to the Viscount. I also know his father, a Earl, hum..."

The old man had none of the seriousness and integrity of ordinary preaching at this moment.

He was bathed in the light, but his expression was particularly gloomy.He looked at his elder brother with an extremely uncomfortable look, and then said to Luka: "Rhein has been embraced for the first time."

With a "crash", the glass in Luka's hand fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.

Luka was shocked: "It's impossible, I haven't heard any news from my father!"

Priest: "Just now, he rushed into the camp of the Holy Legion, asking for the truth of the matter."

Luca: "I don't believe it. He just switched. How did he enter the holy barrier? Blood races below the viscount have no possibility of penetrating the barrier of the barracks!"

Priest: "So he is not an ordinary vampire, his level is probably at the earl stage..."

"Impossible, this is impossible, this is impossible!"

Luca started screaming.

For geniuses, failure often only brings them two results.

First, failure makes them stronger so that they can never be defeated again.

The second type is that failure completely destroys them, making them fear anything related to failure, but the more fearful things, the sooner they come.

The priest was very impatient with the little vampire.

He said indifferently: "Nothing is impossible. Tonight, not only Rhine appeared in the Holy Legion, but also his father, a stranger and more powerful vampire also appeared in the Holy Legion. If Rhine has The rank of the earl, his father is at least a marquis! I have already reported this matter to the upper echelon of the church, and I will continue to verify it with the dark world. I hope that the father who transformed Rhine really came from the outside world, and the dark world has no idea I don't know anything, otherwise I can only think that the dark world intends to tear up the peace treaty between us..."

"I originally wanted to get a little rest from you, but it seems that even though you are relatives of Rhine, you don't know anything about his recent situation."

After finishing speaking, the priest took a step back, looked around the crowd, and finally fixed his warning eyes on Luca, those eyes were as slippery as snakes:

"I believe that no one wants to start another holy war, including the Duke of Death behind your father's generation..."

After speaking, the priest planned to leave.

But at this time, my brother woke up like a dream.

He stopped the priest: "My lord, are you looking for Rhine? I know that Rhine will go to a place. Whenever he is frustrated, he will go there for vacation!"

The priest who left stopped, and he asked his brother, "Where is that?"

There was a bright light in the elder brother's eyes, and he smiled: "It's a forest on the outskirts of the city. There is a cabin in the forest. There have been rumors of hauntings in the cabin for several years, but that was the story released by Rhine many years ago..."

Under the night, the sky is full of stars.

When Rhine asked this sentence with an extremely cautious mood, Xi Ge was stunned.

What... so I haven't told Rhine what my name is?

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be true.

Since falling into the Middle Ages, I neither told Rhine what my name was, nor asked Rhine what Rhine was called.

It is speculated from the future that I told him that it was not the name "Xi Ge", otherwise Rhine would have been more or less surprised, and it was very likely that he had mentioned it to me in daily conversations.

But Rhine never revealed any news about this, which means that I told Rhine another name.

Am I wearing a vest...

So the question is, what name should I give this vest?

my name……

When these four words emerged from Xi Ge's mind, a certain piece of memory filled in his mind was touched.

The group of memory fragments that were originally mixed in the endless memories were searched out from the huge pile of memories and highlighted.

This reminded Xi Ge that before the name "Xi Ge", he had another name, another name that had been used for countless years!

But that memory may have been dusty for too long, and it has not been completely recalled by the owner.

It is vague, like the skirt of a goddess, floating around in Xi Ge's mind. Whenever Xi Ge thinks that he can catch it immediately, it spins lightly and slips away from Xi Ge again. gone.

Xi Ge gritted his teeth with hatred.

After Rhine's question, the cabin fell into silence for a moment.

Rhine looked at Xi Ge uncertainly.

Why didn't the other party speak?Could it be that for the blood race, the real name is taboo?

Although in the church, he has never seen a record like this - generally those who have a taboo on their real names are always demons living in hell.

Maybe I shouldn't ask this question... Rhine thought to himself.

Xi Ge, who couldn't remember his name for a while, gave up. He decided to cover the old question with a new question. He asked Rhine, "What about you? What's your name?"

"Rhein." Rhine said, "My name is Rhine."

Xi Ge waited for a while, but before Rhine mentioned his surname, he raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

I used to think that Pippi didn't mention the surname because it was too long since he was born, and the surname has no meaning.

But it turns out that Pippi doesn't mention her surname anymore?

Rhine saw Xi Ge's doubts.

He explained to Xi Ge: "I come from the Bianchi family, but I think...you first embraced me not because of which family I came from, but because of who I am, right?"

He said that all these days have flowed through his heart one by one, and he told Xi Ge:

"So my name is Rhine, and I'm just Rhine."

There are no too gorgeous oaths and too solemn rejections.

At this moment, the young Rhine vaguely coincides with the future Rhine.

Xi Ge felt something familiar to him from the other party.

That is not the appearance visible to the naked eye, but the soul hidden under the appearance.

Their souls are so similar, even though the one in front of them is still young and immature.

Maybe even without me, Pippi will be Pippi in the future.

Xi Ge suddenly thought so.

because……

Because the people I like are just so powerful.

Xi Ge stared at Rhine for a while.

He suddenly wanted to do something.

Just thinking about it, Xi Ge bent down without any warning, and hugged Rhine who was on the sofa again.

Rhine was taken aback: "Wait, wait, you—"

Xi Ge ignored Rhine's resistance and led him all the way into the bathroom, letting Rhine fill the bathtub with water, wash him first, and then wash himself again.

Then he took the man to the bed.

He hugged each other with one hand, let people snuggle into his arms, and then changed into a comfortable position for both of them, and said, "Okay, say whatever you want, and I will listen carefully. Everything about you Anything is fine, I’m interested in knowing.”

Rhine: "I don't have anything to say. Those are all in the past, and I understand the truth of the matter, but it's a bit beyond my imagination..."

Xi Ge held Rhine in his arms.

He wrapped his arms around the opponent's waist and held the opponent's head with the other.

He kissed her still steaming hair.

Physical actions sometimes speak louder than words.

At the same time as being hugged by Xi Ge, Rhine froze.

But this kind of stiffness only lasted for a short time, almost at the next moment, Rhine hugged Xi Ge back, and he buried his face in Xi Ge's arms.

He knew the truth, but the truth confused him.

Yiru could understand his parents' decision, but this decision made him heartbroken.

Rhine spoke in Xi Ge's arms. He spoke incoherently. He talked about the present, the past, and his childhood. He was not all anxious about the pain of the past few days. Those happy things appeared more in his mind. mouth.

The parents who were close to him, the companions who had similar ideas with him, the mentor who taught him carefully, and the insignificant kindness of many people who appeared in his life.

Xi Ge listened to what Rhine said.

A complete Rhine was outlined in his mind by invisible fingers with a different kind of clarity.

The past and the future are connected in series with each other based on the present.

I want to accompany the little Pippi to grow up, but the big Pippi is still waiting for me in the future...

There was a trace of sadness in Xi Ge's heart.

At this moment, he clearly realized that he would have to make a decision sooner or later, and this decision would not be too far away.

Xi Ge suddenly said to Rhine: "Want to see the stars?"

Rhine: "?"

Xi Ge assumed that the other party agreed.He said to himself: "Although I don't know who owns this house, I'm sorry to him first."

Rhine: "Don't be sorry, this house is..."

Before he could reveal the ownership of the house, Xi Ge had already got off the bed and jumped to the roof.

He hooked the beam with his hand, raised his fist, and hit hard upward!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After several loud noises in succession, a big square hole was broken in the roof.

During this process, all the large pieces of wood were held by Xi Ge and thrown out of the house, but there were still a lot of dust and debris falling from the sky.

Rhine, who was dumbfounded on the bed, quickly propped up a cloud of water mist to block and stick all these things.

After cleaning the ceiling, Xi Ge glanced down at the water curtain and gave Rhine a look of "You are great", then he easily jumped off and returned to the bed.

He directed Rhine: "Throw the dirty water out first, and then cover the hole on the head with a layer of water... Yes, that's right, that's it!"

He found that Rhine really has a strong ability to understand and execute in this regard.

He only said a few words, and Rhine completed the matter perfectly.

So Xi Ge held Rhine's hand.

Just like Zeng Jin did, he held Rhine's hand and overlapped the abilities of the two.

The water covering the ceiling turned to ice.

On the clear ice layer, the tree shadows are deep, the sky hangs down, and the stars are shining.

In the cabin, there was sudden silence.

The two looked at the starlight falling from the ice, and neither of them spoke for a while.

Tranquility is like an underground river, flowing slowly in the sky.

After an unknown amount of time, Xi Ge's shoulders suddenly felt heavy. He looked down and saw that Rhine had fallen asleep leaning against him.

Now the atmosphere is good, just to rest...

He lay down a little bit, laid Rhine flat, and closed his eyes.

When the consciousness was completely relaxed, sleep embraced him, and he fell into a black dream.

He walked for a long time in the black corridor when he suddenly heard a voice:

"Seagle!"

The moment I heard it, the memory of the name in my mind was analyzed and read.

Xi Ge instantly remembered:

My name is Siegel, that's my original name!
