Chapter 268: Vampire Deeds Three and Four
The next day.
An open-air breakfast restaurant in [Smoke-free City].
“Come on for a week, these are the common breakfast items in Reykjavik: Skell cheese, oatmeal, flat bread, cold smoked salmon.”
Xia Xiu’s face was full of smiles With a smile on his face and his arms crossed, Zhou Zhou enthusiastically continued to sell the delicacies on the table with a cold face.
"He really didn't lie to you this time. If any of these things look abnormal, feel free to eat them." Tours on the side also joined Xia Xiu's camp and persuaded him to eat these delicacies for a week.
"Haha." Looking at these two good teammates who deceived him yesterday, Zhou Zhou responded with an extremely fake smile.
Finally, under the example of the blond young man, Zhou Zhou finally let down his guard and started enjoying the food. While eating, the three of them unconsciously started talking about Bruch Francis' match at the Colosseum yesterday. After all, Francis' crazy match yesterday was impressive.
"Abraham, you can deal with that show-off guy from the Bruch family in the Colosseum, but how are you going to deal with the other vampires? And you said it earlier, right? But there are other vampires in the Smokeless City. After killing one, we will face the pursuit of all the vampires in the entire [Smokeless City].”
The childish-looking Tours. He asked his doubts in a melancholy tone to the blond young man in front of him. His brows were tightened, and the fox tail behind him subconsciously swayed from side to side.
At this time, the blond young man was enjoying cold-smoked salmon, which is a specialty food in Reykjavik. It is usually eaten with bread or pancakes. While chewing the food, he raised the hot coffee and put it on the table. The delicate ceramic cup is pressed against the lips, and the refreshing aroma of coffee and the slightly hot temperature condense in the air; the crispy bread, with its milky and slightly salty taste, is intertwined with the taste of coffee, The result is a rich and harmonious taste.
What a wonderful day.
Xia Xiu, who has never shied away from having fun, couldn't help but squint his eyes comfortably, like an orange cat enjoying the sunshine.
"You don't look nervous at all."
Tulsi was slightly dissatisfied with the blond young man's relaxed performance.
"Relax a little. Being too nervous won't help the situation." Xia Xiu put the steaming ceramic cup on the table in a leisurely manner.
“We have five enemies this time. I don’t think our current power can go head-to-head with five vampires whose strength is equal to that of the [Master]. The most important thing is that we are now on someone else’s territory. , we don’t even know their weaknesses yet,” Tours continued.
“I know this, so I will tell you directly about the weaknesses of Gangelo Emilio and Nosferatu Elias.”
The blond young man folded his hands and placed them on his abdomen, and then he began to talk about the weaknesses of Gangaro and Nosferatu in a calm tone.
“Vampire Deeds Three: The Arrow Through the Heart.
This is a common method of killing in many stories about vampires, although its details may vary from story to story or culture to culture.
The origin of this statement may come from medieval legends, where people believed that spears, swords or other sharp objects could be used to kill vampires. This may be because sharp objects can cause fatal damage to a vampire's heart, or because this approach symbolizes the conquest of evil. Among them, wooden stakes or wooden arrows are weapons used to kill vampires through the heart in many stories, especially in the legend of Youyang.
The legend of the heart-piercing arrow has become a variation or generalization in modern Terra.
The extraordinary weapons were designed by Lord Puncture through his deeds in the real world. These powerful weapons are actually the huge conceptual projection of [Ether Ocean], but Lord Puncture did not set an [anchor]. His There is no such thing as [virtual particle anti-reality stabilizing anchor] to eliminate the influence of the era - so the weakness of vampire weapons can be said to keep pace with the times, and it will change with the changes in civilian deeds.
In modern vampire stories, "arrows" are used as weapons to kill vampires, because they can effectively hit the target at a long distance and have a certain dramatic effect.
When it comes to "heart-piercing arrows", we must mention [Vampire Slayer Buffy]. He often uses special heart-piercing arrows to kill vampires. The people of the [Secret Alliance] hate him. "
The index fingers of Xia Xiu's folded hands began to tap the back of his hands up and down, while Tours and Zhou Zhou, who heard [Act Three] on the side, had serious and serious expressions.
" Sword Equip [Twilight], this is the [Vampire Arms] obtained by the Gangaro clan, and the soul residing in it is named [Edward Cullen]. The most troublesome thing about this weapon is actually its two abilities - [Psychic Perception], which can sense the thoughts of anyone within the user's line of sight, thereby predicting the enemy's next move in advance and improving combat efficiency; Touch the other person, gain access to their thoughts and emotions, and control their thinking if necessary. It's [powerful telepathy]. "
"So after seeing him, it is best to shoot the heart-piercing arrow into his heart immediately. I like being in hiding myself, but I hate being in hiding by my enemies the most, so you should be more ruthless in your attacks. ”
After hearing about Gangro Emilio’s weaknesses, Tours and Zhou Zhou began to look at each other. After a brief eye contact, the two began to mentally plan their attack. The possibility of killing the opponent.
"What are the manufacturing requirements for this heart-piercing arrow?" Zhou Zhou asked Xia Xiufa.
“I have a sketch here. You should still remember the Ironbeard Dwarf you saw yesterday. I think he must have collected enough ransom to redeem his [Dwarf Hammer]. In the past two days, he You should redeem the hammer from [Financial Street], and you can go find him to make a heart-piercing arrow. After all, the craftsmanship of the dwarves is beyond words.”
Xia Xiu took out his own sword yesterday. The drawing he drew in the evening was handed to Tours, and Tours reached out and took it.
“No wonder you were so enthusiastic about that dwarf before.”
Tulsi replied to the blond young man while looking at the drawing. At this time, his eyes had already fallen on the arrow on the drawing. There are densely packed [Construction Runes] on it.
[Construction Runes] is one of the core technologies of the dwarves or the [Alpine Alliance] in the past. They have 367 basic runes, each of which represents a basic spellcasting effect; thirty-six basic runes Wen can form a tectonic plate, and twenty-four tectonic plates can form a driving engine.
In terms of technology alone, [Alpine Alliance] is no worse than any force, but the production efficiency is really too low. They use [Mobile City] urbanized assembly line weapons production and beyond visual range concentrated fire strikes. Directly announce GG.
“After all, the only ones who still master the old-fashioned technology of runes are the dwarves. They have been holding on to their past honors and refused to let go. In the past, the mages’ [sky islands] relied on runes to drive them. The same is true for even Three Portlands, but nowadays, which enclave still has rune technology? Even Three Portlands completed its industrial upgrade a long time ago and replaced rune technology with lineage drive. . ”
In terms of extraordinary energy production, the pedigree completely exploded the runes; in terms of skills and accuracy, [Entry] and the think tank pressed the runes on the floor and rubbed them hard.
The old technology of runes actually has more room for development, but it is too inefficient compared to the new version of the genealogy - the two are like the Industrial Revolution period Steam technology and electric power technology are average. The former can indeed develop more potential, but it is not necessary. In the face of more efficient and convenient energy technologies, it was quickly eliminated by the times. However, this old-fashioned rune technology is somewhat useful in creating personal weapons.
As a scholar, after carefully examining the design of the heart-piercing arrow on the drawing, Turs carefully put the drawing away, and then he looked forward to the blond young man and asked about the second one with great expectation. Vampire's weakness.
“What is the weakness of Nosferatu Elias?”
The blond young man raised his right hand as if holding a knife against his neck, with a look on his handsome face. A bright smile appeared.
“Vampire deeds four: decapitation.
Decapitation, as a vampire's weakness, is common in many vampire legends and cultures.
This idea arises from the ancient belief that the life force resides in the blood and head.
In the past on Terra, the deeds of vampires were widely circulated. Vampires were described as evil undead creatures that haunted the night, sucked human blood, and turned them into the same existence. In order to prevent vampires from continuing to do evil, people need to find the vampire's body and then take special methods, such as inserting the heart or even cutting off the head, to ensure that they can never be resurrected.
Beheading is also a symbol of human life. Once life disappears, it cannot be resurrected. Just like a vampire who is decapitated and can no longer move, it symbolizes a final and irreversible recognition of death. Therefore, the decapitation setting of a vampire is to a certain extent a reflection and expression of life and death in human culture.
For the image of a vampire, the act of decapitation also represents human beings' desire and fear to end undead creatures. This not only comes from the deep fear of death, but also from the difficulty of immortality. Aspirational yearning.
Human beings fear death and yearn for immortality, but at the same time they are also afraid of those creatures that have achieved immortality, but have lost their humanity and become ruthless. For these creatures, the decapitated setting seems to express a hope - even lives that cannot be eroded by time are also unable to withstand the final approach of death. "
"Of course, decapitating Nosferatu is not an ordinary decapitation. After cutting off the opponent's head, he needs to keep the opponent's head and body 50 kilometers apart, and keep it for more than a day. ; The maximum length of Fog City from west to east is about 51.5 kilometers, and the maximum width from north to south is about 50.1 kilometers. In other words, after cutting off his head, he must immediately run away with his head, and It's almost a distance of a foggy city. "
Speaking of this, Xia Xiu also specifically said to Turs and Zhou Zhi:
"The sword suit in Nosferatu's hand is called [Night Hunter]. The soul of the sword is [Helsinkamen], and its main abilities are [Evil Eyes] that can intimidate indiscriminately; [Blood Chain] that can automatically seek out enemies; and [Devil Prison] that is similar to a barrier. ]. "
"It sounds very difficult to deal with. If this guy wants to kill him quickly, Zhou Zhou and I will have to kill him. ”
Tours rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and then he continued to ask the blond young man in front of him who didn't feel any tension:
"The only thing missing now is time. If you plan to attend the Hundreds of People in a week, If we take action on the fast dragon ship, we will have to choose one of the two to carry out the assassination. At that time, we can only kill the people and run away immediately."
"Don't be nervous about running away. I promise to arrange everything clearly."
As Xia Xiu spoke, he raised the corners of his mouth and continued to face Turs with a bright face:
"And don't you think so. Is it disrespectful to the local gangs to kill two and run away? Even if the local gangs are very rude to us, as good people, we should let them stay together as a family. "
The young man with blond hair and golden eyes slowly raised his head, and his handsome face bloomed with a smile as bright as the sun; his golden hair shone like gold, setting off his handsome face; the sun shone through his hair. The silk illuminated his outline exceptionally brightly, making him look like a boy next door.
This kid is going to cause trouble again...
Tulse and Zhou Zhou thought at the same time in their hearts.
"You two go to the iron-bearded dwarf to make a heart-piercing arrow first. Before the other party mortgages the hammer in his hand again, I have to go to the Smokeless City [Da Chia Prison], go there to receive our new teammates."
Xia Xiu stood up and made the final arrangements for the two of them, and Tours and Zhou Zhou naturally had no other opinions.
After confirming all the matters, Xia Xiu couldn't help but look at the sky. At this time, fine raindrops were dripping from the parasol above the outdoor restaurant.
It’s raining.
******
Smoke-free City·Dacia Prison.
In the smoke-free city in May, the scene near the prison was shrouded in thin curtains of rain.
The drizzle is like silk, falling on the ground in succession, soft and even. The sky is blocked by gray clouds, completely swallowing up the rays of the sun, giving the land a pale color.
The rain curtain penetrates the silence of the earth, falling on the grass and leaves and making a faint rustling sound; when the wind in the smoke-free city blows, the sound of raindrops echoing in the ears, as if nature and The world is having a close dialogue at this moment; the prison walls look even more desolate due to the baptism of rain, and the condensed water droplets on the walls slide along the texture, like tears in the mist.
At this time, Vardasson Broly, who was staying in the deepest part of the prison, slowly opened his eyes, and his chilling eyes began to look outside through the prison bars.
The mountains in the distance are looming under the cover of mist, blurring the boundaries, giving people a mysterious and eerie feeling; the rainwater flows down the mountain streams from the mountain tops, forming a silver ribbon-like The stream flows silently through the valley; the stream taps the rocks, making a low and sweet sound, like the singing of nature itself.
Around the prison, the moss-covered stone walls give off an ancient and silent atmosphere.
Raindrops dripped on the wall, leaving slender water marks, adding a sense of sadness and loneliness to the prison. The prisoners may be staring at the rain outside through the windows, and their hearts are entangled with endless thoughts.
Dong dong dong——
Broly's heart began to beat inexplicably. He felt that something unspeakable and huge was approaching him, and the sinful blood was silent in his body. It was beginning to boil, and the familiar feeling of bloodlust began to spread throughout the body.
"The wicked must forsake his way, and the unjust must cast off his thoughts."
Broly clasped his hands together, his lowered head began to cry for his boiling blood. repent.
