Volume 9: Vampires and Dungeons Chapter 27 Curse
"I don't mean to oppose you."
The butler whispered:
"But from my personal opinion, I still think that the best course of action is to keep the family going and let the ritual continue. Otherwise, when the blood of this family is exhausted, there will be no one to resist the curse again. In this case, the world will not be destroyed, but will suffer a very painful disaster. That is not what we want to see."
There is almost no way to eradicate a mind polluted by conflict. Once the power of disturbance and terror takes over the spirit, that becomes his own thought.
A series of gray threads flashed in the butler's eyes, and he had no intention of resisting Li Lin. But he was the butler after all, and he inherited most of the secrets of this mansion. Although he had no way to resist Li Lin's magic, for his own considerations, he still hoped that the ceremony would continue.
At least from the worldview they have known so far, what they are facing is probably the most terrifying disaster. In the consciousness of mortals, there is no power that can resist the coming of that great terror. The deepest defense line in their consciousness is still stubbornly resisting the coming of disputes. So from his point of view, this may be for Li Lin's good.
As for the other people watching around, although they were not infected by the dispute, they also had blind loyalty.
Although they were puzzled as to why the butler would make such a declaration and tell a series of secrets to the man in front of them, they would not make any choice. When the head of the family became a tool, the butler was the one who carried out everything.
After the death of the first generation of butlers, the remaining things will be taken over by the second generation. Although the knowledge has long been lost, the inheritance is uncertain, and even it is unknown whether it is right or wrong, there are already predetermined procedures behind all this. Even death cannot stop the continuation of this process.
Unless someone like Li Lin appears who is obsessed with causing trouble.
"Curse? Are you saying that there is actually a cursed bloodline in this family? This is a rare thing. Can you tell me what the curse is?"
"Many great people have appeared in the family. Each of them has the talent to go down in history. But they all died because of the curse of their bloodline. Our lineage is bound by the ancient gods and must hide our bodies and thoughts. We cannot appear in front of everyone rashly, just because our blood has long been bound by the curse. Anyone who is inside the family is actually very clear about this."
Gray lines gradually appeared on his forehead. The butler, who used to be full of loyalty and didn't want to communicate with others, had a flickering look in his eyes and gradually told the secrets of the family that were shrouded in fog. And in his narration, this mysterious family gradually showed its truth.
This is actually a very melodramatic story, or in other words, it is a story that has nothing special or new about it. It is a very ordinary treasure story.
In the distant past, even before the rise of the forces of justice, the power of blood was the most fundamental force that could restrain people's hearts. Everyone believed that their offspring and blood were the foundation of everything. They felt that their lives and energy were all for the continuation of their blood. Even the cruelest people would maintain the greatest kindness towards their blood and family. Because these things were the foundation of their lives and the most fundamental thing to them.
Everyone at that time liked to be a stud, or a family could not survive without a stud. Because in that chaotic era, the mortality rate was beyond the imagination of the normal human world today. Even a glorious family would decline due to various reasons.
At that time, a prominent family in the Black Tower experienced some unpleasant changes. Accidents happened to their family members one after another, and the population quickly became sparse.
The once prominent family was reduced to only two or three members, and even only one direct descendant.
In this emergency, they had to call for those bloodlines that were scattered outside to bring them back and let them inherit the glory again. However, since they were scattered outside, it meant that it was not easy to find them. The only person who came was a down-and-out poet. But just one person was enough. The remaining family heads soon held a banquet in joy to celebrate the continuation of their family and the continued inheritance of their bloodline.
During the banquet, an accident happened. Just like what happened at this banquet, the death of a servant led to the discovery of the underground test site. The poet who was summoned also knew what kind of devil's den his home was, so he went to the end with the intention of dying.
After killing the last of his bloodline, he pushed open the hidden door underground and walked into the horrible and twisted world behind the door. After a few minutes, he walked out with a gloomy face.
No one knew what he had gained or inherited. The poet, who was originally down and out but was transformed into another kind of life, full of the cunning and cruelty of an ancient creature. In a short period of time, he completed the merger of family power, and through magical magic, he made peace with hundreds of women of different races and ages, giving birth to countless offspring, and eventually became one of the most powerful families in the Black Tower.
The book he left behind before his death revealed that all this was because he made a deal with a great being underground. That being underground needed enough flesh and blood and spiritual food. While the Mist Family gained his power, they would also be bound by him. Every few generations, a reincarnation would be formed.
After a cycle of reincarnation, the family will continue. If the cycle does not continue, or something unexpected happens, the curse will spread.
This is why I insist on restoring everything to its original state.
"If we don't take responsibility, his curse will spread throughout the city, and even the world, and then it will be too late."
"...Thank you for your hard work."
Thank you for your hard work in performing.
Looking at the serious-looking housekeeper in front of him, Li Lin found it a little funny.
Any curse related to bloodline involves cause and effect and bloodline.
As for curses that directly add causal and bloodline affixes, one must at least start from the late stage of magic awakening, or even the demigod level to cast it.
But there is a problem. If it is a curse from the gods themselves that is full of resentment and hatred, as long as it is not too powerful or the requirements are too detailed, basically the whole family will die as early as the third generation. And the Misty Family obviously does not know the kind of stubborn people who can fight against the curse of the gods.
In other words, the curse in this house is at most a demigod. As for demigods, is that a problem for Li Lin? Not at all. Li Lin has killed even gods, so what's the problem with a demigod like you?
