Extraordinary pedigree

"With your strength, you will take action tomorrow after you have correctly read the signal I sent you. However, the movement tomorrow will definitely be a little louder, so you have to take action faster then; Old Fanzhuo's [Lord of the Tomb" ] It may be a bit troublesome, after all, the place he is in is a replica of the Bram Castle in the Bucharest area, which is the castle of the Impaler and is now one of the most famous vampire cultural tourist attractions."

Xia Xiu looked at the demon statues patrolling back and forth in the castle in front of him, as well as the various rare and exotic objects hanging on the walls of the long and narrow hall behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"The imitations here cannot be said to have nothing to do with each other. They can only be said to be exactly the same."

Looking at the golden eyes of the blond young man showing some fear, Broly, who has been an otaku for more than 20 years, also curiously looked at the golems around the castle and the unconcealed bloody smell inside the castle. .

Putting all these guys together, it feels like they are not enough for him.

After looking at it, Broly turned his head to the blond young man. At this time, his expression seemed to say: Are these guys strong?

As a good student who graduated from Luyuan in one year, Xia Xiu began to explain to Broly on the spot:

"Imitation is the most important and even fundamental skill in life; and in the extraordinary field, imitation is a huge knowledge."

"The first of the three laws of thaumaturgy: Like breeds like."

"This law sets the tone for low-ranking people to imitate high-ranking people, and imitation involves the second level of the [Ether Ocean]. This level is the transmission layer between the ARad field and the directly connected nodes in the world. It connects various EVE The divisions formed by particle distortion are [logical blocks (logical information)], and only [Crowned Ones (Apostles/demigods)] who possess [Information Authority] and [Myth Factor] can control it through physical signs."

"The first law shows the world the simplest path: similarity in form means approaching, similarity in spirit means equality."

"Similarities in the realm of occultism are very dangerous: whether it is a blood god or a sarkic, a starry sky terror or an existing god, the paths they leave behind will always bring believers closer to the various [information authorities] they manifest. , approaching their different forms of expression in the world.

And when their souls are similar to those of superiors, they will be assimilated by the huge [information authority] before they have time to carry out the equality of status. "

Xia Xiu stepped on the ground and then said to Broly:

"The troublesome thing about [Lord of the Tomb] is that he can imitate part of the Impaler's abilities, and it's a god-like one. Under this castle, there used to be a mass grave where the aliens used to discard the corpses of the same kind, and the Impaler gave this The name of the sword outfit is so obvious, so the ability of this sword is self-evident."

[Lord of the Tomb], its core power is to control the cemetery.

It can manipulate and control the power of the cemetery, summon the undead and ghosts in the cemetery, and let them fight for itself or execute orders; it can resurrect deceased creatures as undead servants, summon and control the undead warriors in the cemetery, and increase its own power. combat effectiveness

Broly also looked at the ground beneath his feet and asked in a calm voice:

"How many bodies are buried here."

"Based on the death wave formula of necromancer thaumaturges, the official calculated data is 24,164 people. I took a look at the academic rank of the person who calculated the data. He is a [high-ranking bachelor]. He graduated from an international school for thaumaturgy studies that is as famous as Luyuan, so the data should be quite reliable."

With more than 20,000 yuan, it’s not impossible, but it might be a little...

Broly was worried about whether he would become addicted to killing, but the blond young man seemed to see through his worries and reached out to pat his shoulder.

"Don't be stressed. Wherever you are now, more exciting things will happen in the future. Don't even worry about things getting out of control."

Xia Xiu knew how to comfort people. After hearing this, Broly gave up the idea of ​​curbing his murderous nature tomorrow.

"The sick period came two days ago a week ago, but Turs and I have beaten it again. Now all the procedures are ready. You stay here and wait for the signal; remember to watch the release time [Beowulf's Oath] , if the other party is trapped by the oath, you will be able to relax a little bit later."

After the blond young man re-applied the [Presence Weakening] Mimusu on Broly, he gave him some instructions again.

Over the past year, Xia Xiu has never stopped strengthening the [weakened sense of presence]. After it became his own [entry], he would program Memusu from time to time, and at the same time raise it like a poison. Different fragments of the [weakening sense of presence] Meme element in his body compete - only the powerful Meme element can remain in his body.

The previous whiteboard [Presence Weakening] has now been iterated into version 5.0 in Xia Xiu’s hands, and the next version will be updated soon.

After completing the basic work, Xia Xiu continued to sneak out quietly.

Broly, who was left behind, continued to sit cross-legged on the ground, entering a [sitting state].

*******

101 Hotel.

"How about it? I've explained all the things that need to be explained."

When Xia Xiu came back and casually took off his coat and placed it on the sofa in the living room, a childish voice pretending to be old-fashioned came from in front of him.

He raised his head and glanced casually, and found that the old boy Tours was holding a copy of the "Fog City Times" in his hand. When the other party asked, he seemed to be folding the newspaper.

If you ignore Turs' child-like face and the wagging tail behind him, he does look very much like an old scholar.

"Well, Broly has finished explaining. All that's left is to wait for tomorrow's game."

The blond young man responded simply, and then sat next to Zhou Zhou who had white tape on his face.

swish swish——

This middle-aged melancholy man with curly hair was writing something quickly. The pen fell on the black notebook and made a "swishing" sound. When Xia Xiuluo sat next to him, he stopped writing.

"Don't look at me, keep going."

Xia Xiu blinked his golden eyes innocently, not feeling guilty at all for beating the other person with Turs two days ago.

"········"

I'm lucky to have a teammate like you.

"Don't look at me like that, No, here are two tickets to the Colosseum's luxury private room, one for you and Turs."

Xia Xiu smiled and took out two tickets and handed them to Zhou Zhou and Tours.

He had confirmed earlier that Gangro and Nosferatu would not participate in tomorrow's dragon boat battle. These two were obviously here to accompany Francis, so they will watch Francis's game in the audience tomorrow. .

The two tickets in his hand now are the double private room closest to these two people.

Zhou Zhou silently took the ticket and then kept silent. After Tours took the ticket, he asked Xia Xiu:

"You said before that I would wait for your signal at the Colosseum, but you haven't even told us what the signal you said was."

"The Fast Dragon Boat Hundred-Man Duel is a very large competition in the Colosseum. This type of competition generally follows the ancient system, and the winner of the competition is awarded a crown made of palm leaves. At that time, the shielding stand in the audience will be briefly opened. , and I will make a conspicuous signal at that time.”

In the gladiatorial matches during the ancient Oletinian Empire, the winner of each match would be awarded a crown made of palm leaves or olive leaves. However, modern commercial gladiator matches are only held in large-scale matches. The coronation follows ancient traditions.

The blond young man smiled at Turs and continued:

"When the time comes, the signal to take action will definitely be very conspicuous. I guarantee that you will know it is time to take action as soon as you see it."

Looking at the bright smile on the handsome face of the blond young man, Turs always felt that things were not that simple.

"You two, remember to prepare the heart-piercing arrows, and also remember to quickly chop off Nosferatu's head."

"It's definitely going to be a great day tomorrow."

The blond young man said with a smile.

*********

The next day.

Smokeless City·Blood Sacrifice Colosseum.

The towering and magnificent Colosseum was already filled with spectators.

In Terra, essentially all Colosseums were large circular or oval structures capable of holding thousands of spectators.

The auditorium is constructed of marble, stone or concrete, layered on top of each other to create a series of seats and steps.

The next design is what nobles like to do most - class division.

Seats in the auditorium are divided into different areas and levels to reflect social class and status.

Closest to the arena are the seats reserved exclusively for emperors, high-ranking officials and nobles in the past, and they were usually located in the best view of the auditorium; however, these seats are now reserved for the new dignitaries, with emperors, high-ranking officials and nobles The names have been changed and they are here again; these "new people" who are here are now Machiavellians, politicians, and private entrepreneurs...

These booth seats are luxuriously decorated with gem inlays, metal decorations and ornate carvings.

On the upper level of the auditorium are a series of seating areas usually allocated to ordinary citizens and civilians.

These seats may be relatively simple but still provide a good view.

The highest level of the auditorium was probably an area for the poor and slaves, which were usually wooden and not very comfortable.

Interestingly, this distribution of the Colosseum actually coincides with a certain pyramidal social structure.

The gladiatorial fight inside the Colosseum is even more ironic - it is a pastime for a few people, and an existence that is envied and despised by the majority; it is the normal state of the structure of the Colosseum, and it is also the pathology of this structure; its Existence has deviated from its original meaning and has been given a special concept.

At this time, the auditorium was full of spectators.

The entire auditorium is oval in shape, allowing spectators to clearly see the center of the arena; the internal design of the auditorium also includes passages, corridors and entrances to facilitate the entry and exit of the audience.

"Glare fight——"

"Glare fight——"

"Glare fight——"

The atmosphere in the auditorium was filled with cheers, cheers and roars, and the audience was keen to watch the fights of gladiators and the performances of wild beasts.

These seats witnessed the pomp and frenzy of the Colosseum and were a place for spectators to enjoy entertainment, display status and participate in social activities.

The Colosseum auditorium was a place where people from all social classes came together to pursue entertainment, excitement and social interaction.

【Private Room No. 01】

"These mud-legged people are still making noises as before. Even if they are not expelled from Terra by humans, they will still be insignificant."

Gangelo Emilio was lying on the luxurious single sofa, his bloody eyes looking out of the audience with undisguised disgust.

Emilio is a standard vampire. He is tall and straight, showing a kind of confidence and majesty. He has a head of black curly hair, which looks thick and shiny, making his face more unique; and those curly hair Silk seemed to have a kind of uninhibited freedom, which matched his deep eyes.

His dressing style is full of ancient elegance and modern fashion sense.

His upper body was dressed in a black well-tailored suit with a silver tie, exuding a noble and mysterious atmosphere, but his lower body was less flattering.

Emilio is a standard vampire aristocrat, especially when it comes to desire.

The sound outside made Emilio lose his elegance, and he slapped the woman under him up.

"Don't... I, I, I... can still continue..."

The scantily clad, coquettish-looking woman blushed and slapped the hands in front of her that were pinching her neck like iron pliers.

At her feet, several human women were lying in a mess. Their bodies were like dry and cracked ground, with pits and pits, without any moisture or luster.

"Noisy——"

Emilio's mouth stretched out two sharp teeth, and he bit down on the woman's neck, then sucked heavily.

In less than thirty seconds, the woman in his hands turned into a withered corpse.

"Bah, the blood of a non-virgin is hard to drink."

Emilio said with a look of disgust, and then he threw the corpse away from his hand like trash, and the corpse he threw accurately hit the only other vampire in the private room.

Nosferatu Elias, who was reading a book, casually raised the vampire sword suit [Night Hunter] placed aside. A dark vortex appeared on his head, and the body was swallowed by the black vortex, and then transformed. For the sake of mince.

"Emilio, can't you be quieter, and can't you be more gentleman to ladies?"

“We are [Cain’s people], let us not be as disrespectful as the four-legged beasts.”

Elias closed the book titled "A Brief History of Human Torture", then frowned and scolded Emilio dissatisfiedly.

"Elias, stop pretending to be noble for me. What do you call a gentleman? Do you just want to learn from the book in your hand and copy it all over again?" Emilio replied sarcastically.

"This is art, you don't understand. What I do is to bring art back to the world." Elias said with a look of obsession, holding the book in his hand high.

"Ah."

A disdainful smile sounded from inside the private room.
