Leaving the secret realm, it was like passing through an invisible film of water. A primeval forest appeared in front of Ye Tong and Qian Ye. The mountains were towering in the distance, and on the other side, the void could be seen. The sky was colorful and two continents could be seen.
Drifting slowly.
Nighteye looked at the two continents in the void carefully and said: "Those are the Crescent Continent of our blood clan and the Azir continent of the demon clan. Then the one we are in should be the Twilight Continent."
"Reno put his final hiding place in Twilight?" Qianye felt that if the Blue King wanted to save his life, then the Twilight Continent of the Vampire Tribe has probably fallen, and placing the hiding place here is the most inappropriate choice.
Ye Tong didn't see it that way, and said: "This secret realm is so small, it is safer to leave it in the twilight. No one will search this area all over the place."
The edge of the continent is indeed desolate and full of dangers. The population density of immortal species like the Blood Clan is lower than that of the Empire. They are basically inhabited by clans. The territories of inherited clans are all in the core areas, and newly created clans will compete for them.
It is a sacred place in the Central Continent, so naturally no one would live here.
Ye Tong and Qian Ye were still searching and moving forward at first, but then they simply let go of their speed and ran. After running for hundreds of kilometers, they saw a vampire castle in the distance.
The castle is built on the mountain. It is not small in scale. It should belong to the Marquis's castle. The castle is built near the top of the mountain. The buildings are distributed according to the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there is a castle that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The small town is surrounded by acres of farmland. There are dozens of large and small workshops scattered around the river.
This was the first time Qianye saw the castle on the Vampire's home continent. It felt different from the underlying Yongye Continent and other mixed continents. He couldn't tell the details for a while and felt very curious.
Ye Tong saw it and said: "You see, the style of the main building of the castle is obviously different from the surrounding ones. It is made of large pieces of natural rock, and the rock blocks have not been thoroughly polished. This is the architectural style of the vampires in ancient times. Explain that this building
The castle was built quite a long time ago, at least more than 1,500 years ago. The buildings below are different, they are all built from cut rocks. This construction technology only became popular after the Dawn Rebellion.
of."
"Dawn Rebellion?"
"Oh, it's what the Human Empire calls the Dawn War."
The Dawn War was the founding war of the empire. In the eyes of Yongye, especially the vampires, it was an out-and-out rebellion.
With Ye Tong's explanation, Qianye saw something different when he looked at the vampire's castle again. The main building of the castle was rough and heavy, with only narrow and long windows. In the early days, it was obvious that the main building of the castle had more war uses. It is conceivable that
You know how uncomfortable it would be to live there, let alone a vampire who likes luxury and luxury.
The buildings below are much more exquisite and gorgeous. They are all made of cut rectangular rocks and have a lot of carvings. On the next floor, there are gorgeous buildings, tall and spacious floor-to-ceiling floors.
The window, at first glance, was not prepared for war.
The bottom of the castle is also some distance away from the foot of the mountain. The city located on the plain below the mountain has various architectural styles and a large area similar to a slum.
Ye Tong glanced at Qianye and said, "You are completely a vampire now."
"……I know."
The blood core is on the cover of the Black Book, and the heart is on the back cover. The subordinate relationship is self-evident. Qianye’s original crystals have all been moved to the heart. From the inside out, the body is completely part of the blood race and belongs to the human race.
There is only the back cover of the Black Book.
Ye Tong sighed softly and said, "Are you still used to it?"
Qianye said calmly: "I'm not used to it at first, but the body is just a body. What we are ultimately depends on how we do it."
Ye Tong looked at him and said, "Even now, do you still want to side with the Human Empire?"
This question made Qianye silent. He had been avoiding it, but now that Ye Tong had asked it, it meant that he could no longer escape.
After thinking for a moment, Qianye said: "I don't understand why the empire suddenly wants to kill you at all costs?"
"Although I don't know the specific reasons, I can make some rough guesses. Everyone on the Holy Mountain of Parliament hopes for my return. Only when I come back can the door to the new world truly open."
Qianye was slightly stunned. He never knew that Night Eye was the key to opening the new world.
"There are still some people in the parliament who don't want me to appear. They don't know the connection between the new world and me, and maybe they don't care if they know it. The Holy Mountain is a place they can't touch in their lifetime, so for them
, the hatred passed down from ancient times is the overriding thing. We cannot openly oppose the Holy Mountain, and someone will leak my information to the empire. If you are the person in charge of the empire, will you watch me return to Eternal Night?"
"But you have lived in the empire before, and you have no hatred for the human race."
"Hate? There's quite a lot of it. Have you forgotten how we got to a neutral place?"
Qianye sighed and said, "Just to eliminate a potential threat, are they going to do that?"
Having said that, Qianye understood in his heart that preventing the new world from opening and preventing another Dark Holy Mountain from appearing was enough for the empire.
"Of course they would do this, and more than once. When I think about the King of Kings bullet in Cointreau's hand, I think he probably didn't know about it either."
"Cointreau's King Bomb?!" Qianye was surprised.
Ye Tong then told the whole story of the battle with Zhao Jundu that day, and finally said: "Jundu is not a liar, even on the battlefield, at least he would not lie to me. How did the King of Heavenly Bullets appear in him?
I'm afraid I'll have to ask people from the empire."
Qianye's face gradually became serious. He did not expect that Ye Tong had been hit by a King's Bullet once before, and it was shot by Zhao Jundu. This matter was not included in the reports he saw from any channel.
Moreover, Qianye also discovered a problem from Ye Tong's words. Ye Tong showed no mercy to Song Zining. Now comparing the causes and consequences, and listening to all the reasons Ye Tong said, Qianye naturally understood the relationship between Ji Tianqing and Ji Tianqing in the maelstrom.
There was no reason for Li Kuanglan's entanglement. The mastermind behind it was probably Song Zining.
When thinking of Song Zining, Qianye seemed to see that gentle face and heard him say: "Qianye, leave her, she is no longer the Ye Tong she used to be, but you still have to live, you can't just sink like this. I believe it."
I, I sincerely do it for your own good. Besides her, there are many good women in this world."
Then Song Zining's eyes were closed tightly, and he looked unconscious. Only when he was unconscious, he would tear off all the cool disguises of the high-ranking disciples, as if he had returned to the underworld, a ruthless and lonely young man.
, only myself and my partner.
Qianye smiled bitterly, shook his head, and drove the image of Song Zining out of his mind. From Song Zining's point of view, maybe he was right. But from the perspective of Night Eye, he would definitely hate Song Zining to the core.
After thinking about it for a long time, Qian Yefang sighed.
"Have you thought about it?" Nighteye asked.
"Yes."
"So, how do you decide?"
"As the saying goes, who we are depends on how we act. Brothers are brothers, and empires are empires."
Ye Tong breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and chuckled: "That's good, I thought you wanted to go back to work."
"Do I look that stupid?"
Ye Tong said seriously: "It's not like it, it is!"
Qianye was so angry that he picked her up and feigned anger: "I haven't dealt with you properly since you woke up!"
Ye Tong's body softened and he leaned against Qianye, saying: "Well, there are many opportunities. What are your plans in the future?"
Qianye said: "Although I am a vampire now, it does not mean that I will agree with all the practices of the vampires. However, when I was in Yonglu, I discovered that it is not impossible for various races to coexist on the same land. Later, in the Black Sun Valley
, there are many vampires who are willing to work for me, but not all vampires are willing to die to defend the tradition. I have also thought that if I don't agree with it, I can try to change it."
Ye Tong nodded, "That puts me at ease."
"I can't change anything now. After all, I'm just a duke. Even if I become a grand duke, I'm probably no match for the crowned prince. But when I get stronger, I will naturally be able to change more."
After hearing this, Ye Tong suddenly looked a little gloomy. Qianye was startled and asked what was wrong.
Nighteye forced a smile and said: "I'm thinking that if I hadn't been so willful and completed the awakening process as soon as possible, I should have ignited the mark by now, and at least I would be a crowned prince. Maybe, Renault will be fine."
Qianye patted her back gently and said, "Let the past go by. We must live well and avenge Renault in the future."
Ye Tong nodded, broke out of Qianye's arms, and said, "I will continue to tell you about the vampires."
In fact, most of the people living in the city below are not vampires, but various races that are considered inferior by the vampires. Many of them exist as lambs that provide blood food on a regular basis. Among these inferior races, the human race is naturally indispensable.
.The blood of the human race has long been proven to be the best delicacy of the vampire race.
Before the Dawn War, most of these lower races were coolies and slaves. The races headed by the human race that could provide blood were not even considered slaves. They were completely raised in captivity and were no different from livestock.
There has always been controversy over the practice of the lower-level vampires converting various races into blood slaves and using them as disposable cannon fodder. The demons have strong opinions on the crazy beasts created like a plague, while the werewolves and spider demons themselves have some objections.
Natural servants have no position against cannon fodder.
After the Dawn War, Taizu led the human race to rise and conquered the Twilight Continent in one fell swoop, shocking the entire Eternal Night. Since then, the Vampire Clan, from top to bottom, has begun to re-examine the potential of the human race, and found that raising humans as livestock is really useless.
waste.
Therefore, some of the more enlightened vampire clans began to try to grant some rights and freedoms to the human race, impart knowledge, and let them develop, farm, and build. As a price, the human race needed to provide a regular ration of blood and a fixed amount of flesh and blood.
The results of the attempt were quite astonishing. The human race burst out with astonishing vitality under extremely limited conditions. Cities were built out of thin air, and large amounts of wasteland were reclaimed. As the population surged, the supply of flesh and blood was no longer a problem.
In addition to cultivating farmland, the human race also began to develop mines and build workshops to provide raw materials and some simply processed components for the vampire workshops. Many people even got some positions to manage other inferior races.
This is the origin of the city in front of Qianye. However, the human race that developed in this way is one of the vassal races of the blood race. Both their living habits and social form are fundamentally different from the residents of the Great Qin Empire and other human kingdoms.
The real vampires originally lived in the old castle, and the superiors still insist on this tradition. However, many descendants of mixed bloodlines have also moved to cities under the mountains for comfort and convenience. They often live in independent
The urban area is separated from the lower races to show distinction.
But from Qianye's point of view, this has already begun to take shape.
