The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"It's the mark of the Vampire House!" Lin Tianhao didn't care about why Joyce's fingers were glowing. He only thought about Lilith.

"But why did Lilith leave such a mark? If she wanted to notify us, she could have called us!" Chen Wenxue said.

"It wasn't left by her." Lin Tianhao said with certainty, "She told me that she didn't like this pattern because it looked ugly, so she never painted it. And this mark is used by vampires to communicate with each other. , few people in the outside world know that I also accidentally heard her mention it when I was with Lilith."

"Why do the vampires go to the Holy Light Laboratory?" Chen Wenxue asked again.

Lin Tianhao shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then we can only ask Dracula." Li Muchen stood up and said, "Let's go to Brasov and meet the Earl."

……

The dawn sunlight has not yet penetrated the jungle, and Brad Castle is still in darkness under the protection of the primeval forest.

Count Dracula sat on the old-fashioned hard chair carved from oak, with a thick blanket covering his legs to protect him from the cold winter air.

The room was filled with the precipitation of time, with yellowed oil paintings and rusty weapons hanging on the walls, and an iron chandelier hanging from the ceiling emitted a faint light.

Dracula heard his own breathing and the subtle sound of the breeze blowing against the high walls of the castle outside.

As the sky gradually brightened, a ray of sunlight penetrated the narrow window and shone on half of his face. Dracula turned away in disgust. Although the sun could no longer harm him, he still couldn't like this dazzling thing.

dong dong dong.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in." Dracula said displeasedly.

The door creaked open, and a man in black clothes and a large cloak appeared at the door. Seeing the sunlight shining through the window, he seemed a little scared and hesitated to enter.

"Lord Earl, Lilith has arrived."

"Well, let her come up." The count said lazily.

"Yes."

The man in black retreated.

After a while, there were footsteps. The voice was very soft, as light as dust in the sun, but it still couldn't escape Dracula's ears.

"Lord Earl!" Lilith's voice came from the door.

Dracula turned his head, a smile on his bloated and old face. He picked up the cane next to him and nodded to the chair opposite: "Lilith, come on, sit down!"

Lilith walked in a little uneasily.

She couldn't even remember the last time she came to this castle.

The impression left on her here was not good, it was dark, damp, and old...

And this Earl always has an indescribable aura about him that is scary.

Lilith sat down on the chair, face to face with the count. The sun shone in through the window, shining brightly on her face.

The earl looked at her, his gaze unblinking, which made Lilith feel a little flustered.

"My lord count!" she cried.

"Well," Dracula responded, "Do you know why I asked you to come back?"

"Is it...because of Duke?" Lilith said uneasily.

"No!" Dracula shook his head, with a trace of sadness on his face, like a father who lost his child. "He was too arrogant. His arrogance destroyed him and almost destroyed our entire race. Lilith, you know, I What kind of pressure is on us. Our people have been trapped in darkness for generations because of the ancient curse. Only we ourselves know this kind of pain, but humans regard us as monsters..."

Lilith lowered her head, feeling uncomfortable.

"Originally, I had high hopes for Duke." Count Dracula continued, "In the whole vampire family, except for me, he is the only one who is not afraid of the sun. But I am already old, and my blood has also aged with my body. .Duke shoulders the important task of saving the people. We have been doing research on his blood and we have already achieved preliminary results, but we didn’t expect..."

"sorry."

Lilith was originally wary because Li Muchen had warned her that she might be in a huge trap.

When she was in Las Vegas, she also made up her mind to cut off contact with Bradberg, forget everything in the past, and start a new life with Lin Tianhao.

But as soon as she returned to Brasov and saw the blood mark, her sleeping bloodline was awakened, reminding her that she was the daughter of the vampire clan.

She couldn't let go of her people - those poor vampires who were forever trapped in darkness, "sinners" waiting to be saved.

"Do not blame you!"

Dracula showed a kind look on his face, stretched out his wrinkled and dry hands, and stroked Lilith's hair like a grandpa caressing his granddaughter.

The sunlight coming in from the window shone on her head, making her hair black and shiny, and Dracula's hand looked even older.

"Lilith, I am very happy to see you standing in the sunshine. You will replace Duke and become the new hope of our vampire family."

"New hope?" Lilith's body was shocked, "Me?"

"Yes and you!"

"But, Lord Earl..."

"No," Dracula interrupted, "don't call me lord count anymore, call me grandpa."

"Grandpa..." Lilith's voice was raw, but she was moved for no reason, and the long-lost family affection she had lost since childhood melted into her heart like honey.

Dracula looked at her with a smile, kind and kind.

"But, Grandpa, I still don't know why I am suddenly not afraid of the sun?" Lilith said.

"Duke and I are not born to be afraid of the sun. There is power in our blood that can resist the curse, and it will awaken. You are awake!"

"Awakening?"

"Of course, there is another possible reason. Duke's blood helped you awaken." Dracula's eyes flickered for a moment, and he turned his head to look away as if he was afraid of the sun. "You know, we are using Duke's blood in one song." Do experiments on his own blood to find the source of the power to fight the curse. Duke is also feeding you his own blood, isn't he?"

"It turns out that it was Grandpa who asked Duke..." Lilith was a little grateful, but also a little guilty, and didn't know what to say.

"Child, there is no need to say anything. Your awakening is what you deserve. There is no need to thank me or Duke." Dracula smiled, "You already have excellent genes, so I asked Duke to specially Looking after you.”

"Excellent genes?" Lilith's heart moved, "Grandpa, who is my father? Where is my mother?"

Dracula closed his eyes gently and sighed, with a trace of sadness on his face.

"Alas, your mother is a born awakener and has not been afraid of the sun since she was born. We all think that she is a gift from God to the vampires, giving us hope to escape from the darkness and return to the light. It is precisely because you are her daughter , that’s why I said you have excellent genes. And your name is also inherited from your mother.”

"Then where is she now?"

"She's dead."

"Dead? How did you die?"

"She was killed. It was her husband, your father, who killed her!"
