Chapter 306: Vampire Deeds Eighty-Nine
Terra Calendar 1590.7.4.
Faroe Islands·Tors Port.
"Woooooh——"
The ferry docked slowly at the port, and its huge hull quietly stranded on the pier.
The sound of the ship's engines gradually faded and eventually fell silent, leaving only a faint roar. The hustle and bustle of the port contrasts with the silence of the ship, and it all makes for a unique scene.
The sound of the ferry's engine gradually weakened and finally stopped.
The gate opened and passengers lined up in an orderly manner to wait to board the ship. They held their luggage in their hands and their eyes revealed anticipation and excitement.
The four of them, Xia Xiu, were lining up honestly. The empty hands of the four were in sharp contrast to the passengers with too much luggage.
After eliminating John Giovanni, the four of them canceled their anonymous [financial cards], and then they began to prepare non-stop for the last stop Xia Xiu mentioned - the Fog City area.
This vampire hunting trip has been a full circle, starting from the Oslo area, passing through Reykjavik, and arriving at Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands, along the way. Now they have to take a ferry along the North Sea to return to the capital of Faroe Islands. The foggy region of the British Isles.
The air on the boat is filled with the smell of sea water and salt, and the breeze blows, bringing a touch of coolness.
Xia Xiu had already arrived on the deck of the ferry. The sea breeze blew gently on his face, and the gentle touch brought a hint of coolness. The breeze blew the blond hair on his forehead, making them dance, like Golden waves. He raised one hand to the top of his head and held the black top hat firmly.
An unreasonable throbbing sounded from his heart. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his golden eyes followed his spiritual intuition to look at the source of the throbbing.
The blond young man's vision and spiritual perception spanned the bustling crowd at the port, and then locked firmly on a figure on another ferry.
It was an elegant middle-aged man, wearing a gray formal suit and a classic gray top hat, tilted slightly backward. Paired with a white shirt inside, the collar is neat and exudes a clean and refreshing atmosphere.
His vest and trousers are both gray in color. The vest is moderately waisted and the trousers are slim and comfortable. The overall shape appears refined and tasteful. He wears a pair of black leather boots with smooth lines, demonstrating his attention to detail and pursuit of quality. Wearing a pair of gray leather gloves on the hands adds delicacy and texture to the overall look.
Finally, he wore a silver-gray silk tie, and its delicate texture outlined his elegance and gentlemanly style.
When he saw this person, Xia Xiu never looked away. His eyes were fixed on the delicate cane of the other person, and at the same time, he subconsciously recalled the other person's appearance in his mind. All kinds of gorgeous nicknames.
Founder and President of the Mayflower Foundation, King of Financial Street Airdrops, King of Speculation, Day Dreamer...
Lawrenceton Livermore.
Livermore, who was on the other ferry, had long noticed the presence of the blond young man. When the other party turned his attention to him, he politely raised his cane.
The cane in his hand is very special. It is a long cane with two snakes wrapped around each end and intertwined at the top to form a ring. In the middle of the ring, a pair of feathers hangs . The whole cane is exquisitely shaped, often showing the brilliance of gold and silver.
[Miracle Creation·The Staff of Hermes]
Xia Xiu’s golden eyes couldn’t help but shrink, but there was still a warm and bright smile on his face. He politely took off his hat and tipped his hat to Livermore.
Then, without saying anything more, the two turned their backs to each other at the same time, and walked towards the interior of the ferry.
Livermore came to Youyang because of Long En's matter. Xia Xiu was not surprised by this. What surprised him was that [The Staff of Hermes] was actually in the opponent's hand. , that is the treasure of Edici and [Financial Street], why did he fall into the hands of the president of the Mayflower Foundation? You know, the official Edici in the previous life hated Mayflower... ···
Xia Xiu has keenly sensed that the dance of his butterfly has caused Terra's history to begin to deviate from the trajectory of the previous life.
The [Active Mimovirus Bodies] appeared in advance, Livermore came to Youyang, and the [Staff of Hermes] in the opponent's hand...
It seems that it can only muddy the water. Fortunately, the plan has been prepared for more than a year, and the prerequisites that should be obtained have been obtained. Xia Xiu said secretly in his heart.
He must complete the "corner overtaking" at the end of the performance. Only when his strength reaches the standard can he go further on the ladder of power in the kingdom of heaven.
In the first two or three stages of the thaumaturge, the class requirements for the pedigree are not too high, and they just rely purely on hardware. But once you get to [the crown], the importance of pedigree really comes to the fore.
[Deeds Spread], [Crown Command], [Crown Blessing], [Myth Factor], [Ether Self-Anchor]·······
No pedigree, not a high-class pedigree Members, I personally can’t do the above things at all.
Xia Xiu has been stuck at the watershed between the third and fourth stages in his last life. This stage is also the pinnacle that players can reach. It is jokingly called stage 3.5 - [Virtual Crowner].
The [Crowns] of high-level players are all defective products that are blurred, non-solidifying, easily broken by commands, and easily contaminated by the Meme virus.
From the end of the third expansion pack to the latest sixth expansion pack, the whole family of the planner has been greeted. Well, in fact, the whole family of the planner has been greeted since the game was launched on the platform.
MD, in the first expansion pack, he was tortured into a dog, in the second expansion pack, he was used as cannon fodder, and in the third expansion pack, he finally became a little tougher, and the result was a world war, and so on...< br>
As one of the top players at the time, and the only player who reached the top in Heaven, Xia Xiu had been studying history in the game. He has unlocked most of the permissions in the Kingdom of Heaven's library, but some core permissions are still locked, and people within the lineage also believe that he cannot break through to the fourth stage.
The official of the game has not given an explanation, if he has a real official one.
In fact, most of the players at that time felt that something was a little bit wrong with the game they were playing, and there was only one virtual reality game on the market, "Chronicles of Terra".
At that time, Xia Xiu finally found some interesting information in the game, a so-called "official explanation of the game terminology".
[Alaya Rejection Syndrome].
——————
Truth is true, never lie, it will inevitably bring truth:
Since all things originate from one thing, the thought of one thing can be derived into all things.
This is the strongest power, because it will defeat all delicate things and penetrate all hard things. This is how the world was created.
————————
When Xia Xiu deciphered this information, an extremely ridiculous conjecture flashed through his heart——[Crown] It is a reality that is real, not false, and must exist.
And is the player a reality recognized by the world, or rather by the ether?
With this doubt, Xia Xiu asked Eden. Yes, he asked Eden directly without any coercion. He went to ask with full force.
Then, in the following time, he became a social animal among the social animals of the Kingdom of Heaven, and was widely involved in various tasks.
The answer is no, it’s a lot of work.
When Xia Xiu first came to Terra, he could actually feel from behind that Boss Eden seemed to know something. His identity as a second-fifth son was in a superimposed state of Schrödinger, and in order not to become a social beast too early, and Due to his "overtaking in corners" and ambition, he just wanted to make a splash outside. It was too early to enter the Kingdom of Heaven institution and become a social animal.
However, he actually didn't have many opportunities to fish. He studied in Luyuan, systematically studied Terra's extraordinary academic system, took on tasks, ran orders, and then participated in performances. In order to keep up with Terra's cutting-edge academics, every academic issue I have to read every journal; for information and other necessary information, I have to read every issue of Political Times and Financial Times... I have never thrown away my skills, but I have become more serious about it, a little more serious than when I was playing extreme sports before.
The only good thing about being in Terra for more than a year is that he stayed in most of the five-star hotels in Youyang. Gee, his architectural aesthetic of Terra has been improved by several levels now. , each of the five-star hotels he has stayed in has a different architectural style.
When Xia Xiu, who was full of thoughts, arrived at the restaurant of the ferry, he saw a trio of people in the corner who had ordered delicious food and were feasting. He raised his feet and walked towards the trio.
“After the sea breeze blows, have those strange and dangerous thoughts in your mind been cured by the vast ocean?”
When the blond young man approached, Tours put down the eel fried rice in his hand. Seeing the golden retriever approaching, as an "employee", his appetite suddenly dropped.
“Keep eating.” Xia Xiu pulled out a chair and sat on it casually.
“I’m full.”
Tours took a napkin and began to wipe his mouth. To be honest, his childish face put on an adult-like expression, and the fox behind him The way the tail sways freely is really a bit funny.
If Xia Xiu's [Presence Weakening] hadn't been applied to him, his appearance would have amused many people.
At this time, the blond young man sitting on the chair folded his hands and put his elbows on the table, with a familiar warm and bright smile on his face.
"Everyone, our next trip to the foggy city will be our last stop, so I have prepared a great plan."
"What plan?"
Broly, who is usually taciturn, rarely asks questions. I don’t know why, but when the blond young man in front of him mentioned that he had a great plan, the Berserker clan’s [Awakening] began to beat crazily. It seemed to be Remind his master that something dangerous is approaching him.
The word "danger" kept emerging from Broly's heart.
"A very good plan, the specific content cannot be said yet; wherever there are words, there will be echoes.
So, let's talk about the topics that can be talked about in the plan now."
Xia The thumb and index finger of Xiu's left hand were constantly turning the [Gorgon] worn on the index finger of his right hand, and the corners of his mouth outlined a beautiful arc.
"Let's talk about the remaining vampire armament."
"Vampire Deeds Eight: Garlic
I know, this [deed weakness] sounds a bit rustic and out of style, but this [deed] is the most widely circulated one.
Garlic as a vampire's weakness is a common element derived from vampire lore. In vampire lore, vampires are believed to have an extreme aversion to and sensitivity to garlic, and are even repelled or harmed by its smell. This legend originated from the ancient Youyang vampire legend. It is said that vampires will escape or be harmed by the smell of garlic. Therefore, garlic is considered an effective way to fight vampires.
In legends, vampires are considered to be undead creatures that love blood. They haunt at night, hurting and sucking human blood. Since vampires often appear in human form, it can be difficult to identify them without specific markings. Therefore, people began to explore ways to protect themselves from vampires.
Garlic was believed to have the ability to ward off evil spirits and exorcisms in ancient times. It was believed that placing garlic at the door or wearing a garlic necklace would deter vampires. It was also believed that vampires hated the smell of garlic, so holding or surrounding themselves with garlic would keep vampires at a distance. "
"The name of the weapon condensed from this deed is: [Bloody Iron Maiden]. ”
"The name of the soul that resides on this weapon is - [Bathory Elizabeth]."
"The name of the holder is: Cappadocia Nias."
Speaking of this, the blond young man showed a different kind of smile.
"Coincidentally, the name of the holder of another [vampire weapon] is: Cappadocia Ruskin."
"This is a brother and sister, as the elder brother Ruskin, the weapon he owned was called: [Cross Execution]"
"The name of the soul inhabiting this weapon is——[Barnabas Collins]"
"Vampire deeds nine: wooden stake.
In vampire legends, wooden stakes are considered Is one of the weak points of a vampire, especially when it is pierced through the heart. This traditional statement can be traced back to multiple sources in the origin and evolution of vampire legends.
A common explanation is that. Wooden stakes are associated with ancient myths and beliefs. In many cultures, wood is believed to have sacred and purifying powers and can fight evil. In the Youyang tradition, wood is used to make crosses to fight evil creatures such as vampires. The ancients believed that certain trees had sacred properties that could drive away evil spirits. For example, the Youyang people traditionally believed that beech was a sacred tree that could be used to fight evil. It has the power to expel evil. Therefore, the wooden stake is regarded as a symbol with the ability to expel and destroy vampires."
