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

"The product of an experiment?"

Except for Li Muchen, everyone else was in a fog, wondering if there was something wrong with this guy's head, saying that his daughter was the product of an experiment.

"You see the marriage between you and my mother as an experiment?" Lilith asked angrily.

"No, she and I are not married, we have never even been together. She is a holy body and I am a virgin. We love each other, and our love is as pure as jade and as noble as white clouds." Hawkwood said.

Now people are even more confused.

"Then...where did I come from?" Lilith asked confused.

"I said, you are the product of an experiment." Hawkwood paused. "You are a test product born in the laboratory. The raw material is the blood of the previous Lilith. I did the experiment myself. I did it." Many years, countless failures, each one has a number. Your number is... five, six, seven."

"Five, six, seven..." Lilith repeated the number unconsciously and felt a chill all over her body.

She looked up at Hawkwood, and even through the armor, she knew he wasn't talking nonsense.

"Why? Why do you do this?"

"I don't know why you became what you are now. Logically speaking, since you have the original blood, you will neither age nor die. I won't tell you the truth, just because I hope you can live well."

"No, I want the truth! For the sake of my old age, please tell me, what is the truth?" Lilith begged.

At this time, Li Muchen sent a divine message to Hawkwood.

Hawkwood nodded: "That's it! It's my fault. I ignored Dracula. In fact, I should have thought that this old guy would not give in. I should have killed him earlier."

He sighed and continued: "Some things go back to a long time ago. I was born in Brasov, and I was obsessed with painting since I was a child. When I was a teenager, I went to Florence to worship Filippo. · Under Brunelleschi. He was the greatest painter and architect of his era. He designed the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Palazzo Pitti, the Tuscan Palace and the Church of San Lorenzo. Among those who followed him I learned a lot during the year, and I was extremely excited about the exquisite sculptures and the beautiful domes.”

"Later I returned to Brasov, and the local church planned to build the largest church in Transylvania in Brasov. They approached me and asked me to design the plan. I was so excited that I could finally do it. Make it big in my hometown. I dream of being as famous as my teacher."

"But their requirements were very strange. In addition to the regular layout of the church, there were also many secret rooms and special pipes. The most strange thing was the requirement for the walls, which had to have hollow mezzanines and special communication methods. At that time, I Not knowing what they were going to do with it, it took me ten years to complete the design of the entire church.”

"During this period, I met Lilith, who was sent by Dracula to assist me. Dracula is the most mysterious wealthy businessman in Brasov. He sponsored the funds to build the church, so he had reason to propose his requirements and assign assistants.”

"From the first moment I saw Lilith, I was obsessed with her. I can't describe her beauty, even the exquisite buildings and sculptures designed by my teacher pale in comparison. I started to be crazy about her. She rejected my pursuit at first, but I was not discouraged at all. How could real love be obtained so easily? Seven years later, we embraced each other in the jasmine bushes. I still remember the moonlight of that night, that The fragrance fills the courtyard.”

"After hugging each other, she told me with tears that she had been touched by my love for a long time, but could not love me because of the destined ending. After my questioning, I finally found out her identity and what they had built. The purpose of the church. For her people, she will use her own blood to atone for her sins, and she will sacrifice herself to the gods. Just like you have done these days..."

Hawkwood lowered his head and looked at Lilith. His eyes from the helmet were full of tenderness, like a lover and a father.

"What happened next?" Lilith was a little obsessed with this story. She wanted to know the ending, although she understood that it was destined not to be a happy ending.

"I soon discovered that this was a stupid decision. The real gods would not accept sacrifices, and this kind of redemption would not be forgiven by the gods at all. Behind this, there must be a terrible conspiracy. In order to save Lilith , I turned myself into a vampire, joined their family, and gained the trust of Count Dracula."

"I saw the dark and dirty transactions in the underground, and I also knew Dracula's ulterior purpose. He was not trying to make Lilith atone for her sins, nor was he trying to save the vampires. He was doing it for the original blood. . As long as he obtains the original blood, he will no longer be afraid of the sun. He will gain eternal life and powerful power. The most important thing is that he has reached an agreement with the mysterious Holy See that has risen on Tiluo Island..."

"What agreement?" Li Muchen suddenly interrupted.

"I don't know what the agreement is." Hawkwood shook his head. "I only know that it has something to do with the original blood and the God of the Sun. The mysterious Pope needs to use this to rise up, fight against other sects, and at the same time let The Holy See is freed from the control of the Angels."

"So that's it..." Only then did Lilith understand Dracula's intention. Thinking of the sweet words Dracula said in front of her, she felt sick and angry, and at the same time she felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have left without saying goodbye.

"and after?"

"After I learned about Dracula's conspiracy, I deliberately delayed the progress. At that time, the church was ready for use, but there were still several most critical secret rooms that had not been completed. I am the designer, and they would not have done so without my consent. Dare to rush the work easily, fearing that defects will affect the final sacrifice."

"During this period, I tried to persuade Lilith and persuade her to fly away with me. What surprised me was that Lilith had actually known about Dracula's plan for a long time, but she still chose to sacrifice herself. She said that the original sin was hers. Her people. I couldn't convince her, so I had to try something else."

"At that time, the Habsburg Empire was already corrupt and incompetent, which aroused dissatisfaction among the citizens, especially the craftsmen. I participated in it, fanned the flames, planned a riot in 1689, and took advantage of the riot to set fire to the church."

"It turns out that you set the fire in the Black Church!" Everyone suddenly realized.

"It's a pity that it didn't burn down completely. The church wall I designed was too strong." Hawkwood said. "Fortunately, most of the internal facilities were destroyed, and it's not that easy to restart. I thought I was doing it without anyone noticing." , but I didn’t expect that I was still exposed. Dracula was furious, and all the vampires in the city wanted to kill me, and the Habsburg army who colluded with him also hunted me down.”

"Just when I was at the end of my rope, a man appeared and saved me."

Hawkwood paused, seemingly unwilling to mention this person's name, and continued to speak after a moment of silence.

"He came like a god, sprinkled the holy light, and destroyed all those who were chasing me, as well as all the darkness and corruption around me. He is the emperor of Tiluo Island - the leader of the Holy Church of the Sun - Emperor Pierre .”
