[Interview with the Vampire] Vampire Lewell

"Or, I almost met Mackay. That would be more appropriate."

Cabriere began to recall her magical experience.

She was with Lewell spying on Collins and his companions when it happened.When the stairs of heaven suddenly descended in front of her, she suddenly had the idea of ​​going to heaven to have a look.She couldn't tell why she made such a decision, maybe it was because of deep doubts about God in her heart, maybe it was because of other reasons.But she knows that there is only one chance, and if she misses it, she will never be able to see the true face of heaven again!

So she rushed up the ladder.The immaculate white staircase seemed unreal, but she actually stepped on it.She heard Lewell's exclamation, but at this moment she had decided to completely abandon this kind of companion who was walking together.

At the end of the stairs is a ball of white light.She hesitated for a moment, wondering if a vampire walking in the dark had the right to walk into such a sacred place.But...what the hell!Even the holy water in the church can't hurt her and Leicester, let alone this is just an ancient relic?

The light stung her eyes so much that she couldn't see for the next few minutes.She could feel the ground beneath her feet moving rapidly, and then, with a jolt, she seemed to have reached her destination.

The line of sight gradually became clearer.She saw the surrounding situation clearly.It was a very large square room.White light shines from the walls, illuminating the place.There are many transparent cubes with a diameter of about two meters on the ground.They all shone with a soft white light, and it seemed that the closer to the center, the denser they were.

Cabriere walked up to one of the cubes and noticed that it was filled with some kind of shiny liquid.She saw the human figure curled up in the cube.It wasn't a woman, it wasn't a man, she couldn't see any gender, but the thing had the build of an adult.It is wearing a layer of clothes that seem to be made of fine scales, and there are two small protrusions on its back, it feels like something is growing from there.The most astonishing thing about this humanoid thing, whatever it is, has no head!

Yes, it has no head!In every one of them, the heads on the necks are all gone!Cabriere felt a chill.She originally thought it was a vessel for cultivating angels in heaven, but now, what is this?A glowing crystal coffin for burying headless men?

She walked towards the center of the room.There is an upright rectangular container.It stands out because of its blood red color.The container is broken.Shards of glass lay in a pool of pale pink liquid on the ground.

Cabriere quickly judged that the container was broken from the inside, and all the liquid originally contained in the container fell to the ground.There are still a few transparent chains left in it.Cabriere tried and found he couldn't break them.But judging from the cuts, they were indeed stretched and torn off by people.

Something just escaped from the container.Judging from the water marks on the ground, it might be before she came to this room!

Cabriere walked around the room again.She found a set of footprints.They were lighter than the last, stretching from the center of the room to one wall.That's the mark left by human feet after they've been soaked in water!

Cabriere watched the wall for a long time, and then she found a hidden door.She walked into the secret door and found that she seemed to have returned to the world of mortals.There are no more glowing walls around, no more bizarre headless corpses, no more transparent coffins, no matter the rough ground, or the simple murals on the walls, all of these seem to tell her that she has left Heaven is in the midst of the ruins.

She saw a story in the mural.

The mortals of this place, they have worshiped a goddess since time immemorial.The goddess's hair is the only place marked with color in the mural, it is red, the same color as blood.Her messenger is a jaguar who can tell good from evil.Later, the goddess fell into a deep sleep, and neither she nor her messengers appeared again, but her people still offered sacrifices to her.They lived in a very prosperous life, with herds of cattle and sheep, and they could harvest wild wheat crop after crop as food.

Until one day, a group of winged gods came to this place.Their lives have changed dramatically.Ancient beliefs are banned.Rulers began to appear among them, the spokesmen of the gods.All the gold and treasures were gathered together, and temples were built like mushrooms after rain.The grandest of them all was Eldorado, the city of gold.

The gods wanted to return to their heaven through this magnificent altar.They don't care about the suffering of their people, they need gold, more gold.Shepherds are panning for gold, farmers are panning for gold, craftsmen are panning for gold, all of them are working in gold mines.It seemed that only this metal could please their new god.

In the next fresco, several women are hiding in a cave.They slit their wrists, and with their blood they called upon the old god, their red-haired goddess.They are not afraid of death, they just want to get rid of the evil god's control.When the last drop of blood flowed from their veins into the earth, their goddess finally woke up.

This is a lose-lose battle.The ancient goddess blasted the heads of the gods with invisible force.Countless gods fell from the sky, and even more surrounded the goddess.Mortals do not know the true outcome of the war.All they know is that from now on the City of Gold is their forbidden place, and the gods will no longer appear, nor will their goddesses.No matter how much blood they sacrificed, the red-haired god could no longer be awakened.

The last mortals to leave carved these murals on the walls, telling their descendants the story.That's what Cabriere sees.At that time, she didn't know that the goddess in the mural was her kind, and she didn't think of this possibility until after hearing Mahat's narration.

"My God! That must be Makai!" Macht covered his mouth in excitement. "The place you mentioned is not too far from Peru. She has always been there, always been there! My God, I should The one who found her earlier... Makai is still alive, my upright and kind sister, she is still alive! She will definitely come to fulfill her oath, she is so steadfast, never wavering!"

"That oath, what is the oath? Does it have anything to do with how we defeated the queen? I've told you what I know, and you must tell me how to save Lester!" Cabriere said eagerly.

"Yes, I will tell you everything." Macht gradually calmed down, "You have the right to know this, about the origin of the Scourge, about the crimes committed by the queen. Only in this way can you understand that when Makai made that oath despair and anger."

As Mahat spoke, the sadness was gone from her face.This ancient story has been hidden in her heart for 7000 years, and except Cayman and her sworn enemy, no vampire has ever known the truth about the birth of a vampire.

"My sister and I, we are witches. We were born into a family of witches, our family has existed since before the moon was born. Witchcraft is passed on to girls, because only girls can guarantee the continuation of the blood. We can be sure that the child we bear is from our womb, but the boy cannot. This is a matrilineal family, and in ancient times, there were similar families in many parts of the world. As in ancient In Egypt, an older brother must marry his younger sister to ensure the purity of blood."

"My sister and I are twins, which doubles the mana we both inherit from our mother. We each have twice as much mana as our mother, and when we join forces we are nearly invincible. And all Like witches, we can communicate with elves. This ability has been manifested since we were babies. We communicate with invisible individuals in a language that is difficult for ordinary people to master. Mackay is stronger than me, she You can even see the shape of elves. Of course, only in very special cases, such as after a huge thunderstorm. She told me that they have completely different shapes, some are huge, and others are like some An insect."

"Those elves, they have no flesh. The witches think they are lower than us. Some of the elves have existed since ancient times. They have shown me that they have seen apes become men. This may not be true, but who knows, modern science seems to have proved it. They like to pretend to be gods and ghosts, often pretending to be gods all over the world, relying on their ability to read memories to fool those devout believers. They often Tell us, where did you accept the sacrifices yesterday, and where did you play with the poor sacrifices today."

"We divide elves into two categories, good elves and evil elves. Of course, they have no thoughts of good or evil. Witches just classify them from the perspective of humans. They are full of curiosity about humans and will accept witches' drive Those, we call them good spirits. And those spirits who are jealous of human flesh, like to destroy and possess people, we call evil spirits. Like our mother, we never get along with We deal with evil spirits, and we cast them out with powerful spells, and help those possessed by them regain sanity."

"Our most remarkable ability is rain. This ability is divided into two types. One is just to create some clear water, which only needs to be driven by one elf to complete it. The other is to rain down on the dry land, which requires many elves We can do it together. Not only do we have to say spells, but we also have to dance in special dances to make the elves happy, and then complete our orders. The second ability makes us famous, and everyone knows that in Kame There are two powerful witches living on the hill of Er. They came from a long distance and asked us to show them the way."

"Our hometown is in what is now Palestine, and all our people live by grazing. They are peaceful by nature, and there is not even a real warrior in the whole family. Only those young people who like adventure will leave the village and go to other places Experience the joy of fighting."

"I have to mention our customs here. It's not really connected to what happened after that, but it plays a vital role in the whole story."

Macht looked around all the vampires present with calm eyes.She saw the pain on Cayman's face, and the rest listened to her with all their hearts.

"My people and I, we all believe that after death, the soul rises to a higher level, which is a height that even the elves cannot reach. But there is still a small part of the soul that is left in the body. In order for the heroic spirits of the ancestors to take the last step, we will eat their bodies. Yes, we are using this method of cannibalism to destroy their last remnants in the world."
