source blood

After some conversations, Xi Ge and Rhine solved the problem in an adult way, making mutual concessions and compromises.

Xi Ge tentatively believed that vampires would not turn into bats.

Rhine didn't kill the peacock either, acquiescing to the idea of ​​descendants wanting to visit the dark world.

But he firmly disagrees with Xi Ge giving outsiders the chance to understand his abilities.

So the guide's ability test turned into a fireside conversation between Rhine and Xi Ge.

The time has entered mid-November, and the cold air hit the capital again. The first snow of this year finally fell. Although every household is heated now, turn off the heating and light the fire in the snowy night, and watch the flames blazing in the fireplace. Burning still has an artistic conception that the former cannot achieve.

Rhine and Xi Ge sat by the fire.

Rhine asked Xi Ge: "Is this how you forgive Kong Shi?"

Xi Ge was also a little distressed: "Otherwise, what should I do? Sue him for intentional injury and make him bankrupt? Or beat him up and make him have six more holes in his body?"

Rhine didn't speak.

Xi Ge said to himself: "Hey, it seems a bit strange to know the name and have already sat down to talk about the world, and deliberately grabbed the peacock and beat him up, so I should really do business, take him to court, and go through legal procedures , ask him to compensate me for my physical, mental and other losses in total... a lot of money?"

Xi Ge didn't think about how much money, after all, money doesn't have any special meaning to him.

On the stairs on the second floor, the person who eavesdropped on the conversation downstairs shook silently.

Rhine spoke, his voice was gentle and full of praise: "You are a good man."

Xi Ge didn't appreciate it: "Thank you, I don't want to accept the good card. At this time you should say—"

Rhine laughed, "What did you say?"

If you don't send a good person card, of course it means "I like you".

Xi Ge almost blurted out this sentence.But he thought about it carefully...

Well, no, although Pippi and I have a very close relationship, it still feels a bit strange to say this, after all, I am a conservative oriental.

The white lamb blanket was covered on Xi Ge's knees, Xi Ge gave up the topic, and asked Rhine another matter that he cared about:

"When Kong Shi told me about the dark world before, he mentioned the blood and blood vessels of the high-level blood race. I can understand the blood of the high-level blood race. They use their own blood as a reward to lure the low-level blood race and let the low-level blood race do things for them. Proves that the loss of a little blood is not a big deal for the vampires..."

Rhine: "Exactly."

Xi Ge: "What is that blood vessel? It still sounds related to blood."

Rhine: "The ability of the blood race lies in the blood, and the things related to the blood race's ability are of course related to blood at the same time." After a brief explanation, he thought for a while, and then said to Xi Ge, "Blood vessels are a kind of blood that can be made by the blood race with the title. Utensils. The vampires shed blood and endow the innate abilities in the blood on certain utensils, which are blood utensils. Through the blood utensils, other vampires can use abilities other than their innate abilities."

"However, the production of this kind of blood vessel consumes a lot of blood, and because of the lack of blood energy of the earl, the blood vessel produced can only be used three to five times, so the blood vessel is quite precious, and it can be used in the dark world. It’s not widely circulated.”

Xi Ge: "I am very concerned..."

Rhine: "What?"

Xi Ge: "How are blood races classified?"

Rhine: "Relying on blood power, they are divided into princes and uncles, princes above the duke, and ordinary blood below the baron."

Xi Ge was ready to move: "Then what level of blood race am I now?"

Rhine: "Ordinary blood."

The air is very silent, only the flames crackle and crackle, laughing quietly.

Xi Ge said flatly, "I don't believe it!"

Rhine looked at Xi Ge speechlessly.

Xi Ge: "Ordinary vampires are too rubbed. I don't believe I rubbed like that. Let me see the evidence, and let me take another bite!"

Rhine: "The progression of meaning in your words is terrifying..."

"Actually, my feathers can help you test..."

During the conversation between the two, a third voice interjected weakly, and it was Kong Shi, who did not give up, appeared again.

Rhine sighed softly and disappeared.

Xi Ge blinked his eyes, and between opening and closing, his eyes flickered, and Rhine reappeared in his original position, still leaning against the back of the chair, crossing his legs, clasping his hands and placing them on his lower abdomen, in a very relaxed manner. sitting in front of him.

It wasn't until this moment that a suspicious sound of "bang" came from the second floor.

Has Pippi's speed increased again?Xi Ge was a little suspicious.

After driving away the people who shouldn't appear at this time, Rhine spoke again: "In the world outside the abyss, alchemists have already made props that can easily measure the level of blood race. But here, I don't know if there is such a thing. Alchemy props... But once, someone taught me a rather special measurement method."

He took Xi Ge's hand and said, "Close your eyes."

Xi Ge closed his eyes.

Even with his eyes closed, he could still feel the light. Xi Ge felt a sudden darkness in front of his eyes, and a sudden coldness around him, as if the lights and the fire had been turned off by Rhine.

Then he felt an itch in his palm again.

Rhine's fingers were moving in his palm.

Horizontal, folded, folded, horizontal, folded, folded... is a hexagram pattern.

Xi Ge was thinking silently, when he suddenly felt a prick in his palm, which hurt a little.

After finishing the last fold, Rhine stretched out her pointed armor, pierced a small hole in Xi Ge's palm, and a drop of blood flowed out.

He also cut his fingertips, and a drop of blood flowed out.

Two drops of blood collided in Xi Ge's palm, and the moment they merged with each other, a halo burst out from the blood drop, and sprinkled around the two of them one after another.

"open one's eyes."

Rhine said.His voice suddenly softened, as if he was deep in a certain emotion, and each syllable became long and low: "Open your eyes and look up at the sky, the stars at night are also very beautiful."

Xi Ge opened his eyes.

The fireplace was turned off, and the lights in the living room were turned off. Under the darkness of the moonlit night, he saw dots of floating light swimming around himself and Rhine.

Some lights are light red and pale white, while others are much deeper red.

They swim alternately, the light-colored spots are very active, coming and going like tadpoles in the water, and the other kind of spots are much calmer, most of them float quietly, only occasionally moving their positions.

A little light of light swims towards Xi Ge.

Full of curiosity, full of joy, full of agility.

Xi Ge was tempted, he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch this light.

The moment he stretched out his hand, the blood in his palm rolled, rolled down from his palm, and smashed to the ground.

At this moment, all the spectacle bubbles dissipated.

Night is night again, and the darkness is dark again, but after all, everything has existed before, and Xi Ge still has surprises, half aftertaste.

Rhine said slowly at this time: "The bloody body represents the ability of the blood race, and there is white in the light, which means that this is a new blood race that has not yet reached the baron. When there is no white in the light, it is when he enters the baron." …As the rank increases, the blood in the light becomes darker and darker. There are rumors of the existence of black light, but this is just a legend after all. The deepest color at the moment is a deep red that is close to black, which belongs to the color of the prince.”

In fact, I think the color of Pippi I saw just now is quite dark.

Xi Ge thought.

However, according to Pippi's tone, the whole point of light must be a dark color, and the crimson edge does not count.

He didn't think too much about it, and quickly talked about something he was more interested in: "Pippi, did you just say that someone taught you this trick?"

Rhine: "Yes."

Xi Ge was in high spirits: "Is it necessary to draw a five-pointed star on the palm first and then say 'the stars are also beautiful'? So the magic of the blood race is like a fairy tale?"

Rhine was silent suddenly, thinking suddenly.

Xi Ge: "Hmm... Looking at you like this, don't you really need it?"

Rhine looked at Xi Ge, and after a while he admitted: "Theoretically speaking, it is not necessary."

Xi Ge: "Then why do you think I need 'the stars are beautiful'..."

Rhine felt a little stuck: "The person who taught me how to do it at that time, I will do it."

Xi Ge: "Is that person the one who stopped time?"

Rhine: "...It's him."

Xi Ge was thoughtful: "It feels like he means something different to you..."

A moment of silence.

"He does mean different things to me..." Rhine admitted.

Then he looked at Xi Ge, and suddenly said softly: "Just like you have a very different meaning to me."

After finishing speaking, Rhine left.Xi Ge was still sitting in front of the fireplace in the living room, staring at the dancing flames in the fireplace.

Pippi is getting more and more kind and cuter.

But it’s okay for a man to describe it as “friendly”, but can it really be described as “cute” at the same time?

Xi Ge fell into deep thought.

There is also the person who can suspend a city, no matter what, it makes people a little concerned...

The flame in the fireplace was burning and jumping, changing different outlines in Xi Ge's eyes.

Xi Ge stared at it, and suddenly there was a "ding" in his head.

He suddenly sat up straight and said to himself: "Could it be that person is the one who hugged Pippi for the first time! That's why he said to Pippi 'the stars are beautiful too' to coax children, so every time Pippi said This person always reveals complex emotions... so my talent is passed down from generation to generation! My God, why does the fantasy world of vampires follow the basic laws of science?"

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these ten days, apart from discussing more in-depth blood clan issues with Rhine, Xi Ge met Li Lifang.

He was still worried about the vampire's inability to transform into a bat, which made him specifically ask Li Lifang to make two miniature cameras in the shape of bats for himself, which he would use when entering the dark world.

Although Kong Shi said that the Dark World had already filed a record with the relevant department, he still had to be prepared for everything after all.

Li Lifang felt very confused: "Actually, I major in computer science and technology. I mainly do codes, rather than making miniature cameras. Do you really think I can do this kind of thing?"

Xi Ge was also fascinated: "You are an alchemist after all, you make all kinds of props, I am not asking you to make a camera for nothing. You buy a miniature camera from the market and modify it, add some alchemy, let them It would be nice if they wouldn’t be monitored by blood races and wizards.”

Li Lifang thought for a moment, and felt that what Xi Ge said was quite reasonable, as if this was really his own job.

So he bought a miniature camera according to Xi Ge's intention, and after studying the vision dynamics, reaction nerves, etc. Designed with three bat-shaped buttons.

The wings on the buttons are movable, and the buttons can be easily carried in the air when moving; there are eight small outlets on the edge of the buckle plate, and eight spider-like legs are hidden in the buckle plate, and the tips of the legs are attached The same mini suction cup, no matter the wall or the cabinet, it can easily climb mountains and mountains.

After designing this little thing, Li Lifang contacted his old classmate and handed over the materials he had processed to the other party to complete the final assembly.

After finishing the work, the old classmate called Li Lifang and said with emotion: "I always feel that the things you make are getting more and more refined. Are you going to participate in some competition?"

Li Lifang said a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.He felt that he should have a professional assistant who was responsible for manufacturing and assembling, but Xi Ge obviously had no such plan, so could it be... that he should start thinking about his third major, the Department of Mechanical Engineering?

When the bat buttons arrived on Xi Ge, Xi Ge also got a set of high-end clothes that Xi Ge had ordered for herself.

This is a battle suit designed by him himself. It has a stylish appearance, is non-slip and wear-resistant, and has many hidden pockets.

Xi Ge stuffed the wound medicine, the second mobile phone, the rosary, and a pair of kitchen scissors, which seemed to have great power against vampires, into his secret pocket.

After several battles, Xi Ge decided not to be afraid of taking more, but to take less. No matter what, he must be fully prepared.

The time finally came to the tenth day, which is Sunday of the week.

The two walked onto the streets of the capital with Kong Shi.

Xi Ge thought that Kong Shi would take him to a very unique underground world.

Then they came to a capital chain board game store.

Xi Ge felt that after entering the board game store, they could enter the dark world through secret passages.

After entering the board game store, Kong Shi showed the appointment text message in front of the counter, and the guide behind the counter didn't lift his eyes, just pointed to the direction of the store and finished.

They sat down at an empty table, and Kong Shi also took a set of board games in hand.

Xi Ge: "So what about the dark world?"

Kong Shi said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, it's not time yet, they should still be operating normally, there may be many ordinary people around."

Xi Ge: "..."

He looked complicated and looked around.

In the small storefront, there were twelve or thirteen tables scattered, and half of the tables were occupied. Most of the tables were occupied by young men. They wore very ordinary clothes, played cards and chatted, and looked very normal.

They really look like ordinary people, suddenly I feel a little silly for carefully preparing...

Forget it.

Xi Ge dismantled the board game, divided the cards, and the three started playing the board game.
