Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 312 Church of Knowledge
With Emlyn's participation, the atmosphere at the table was obviously not as 'cheerful' as before.

After all, the vampires have always prided themselves on being elegant and noble, and have been proud of this for thousands of years. Even if they think Emlyn is a disgrace to the vampires, they would not ridicule him in person.

There was no party planned tonight, so we met shortly after dinner.

Led by Kasimir, they skillfully walked down the stairs to the underground area, passed through layers of secret doors, and came to the iron-gray but refreshing hall. In the center of the hall was a vibrant tomb, and outside the tomb was a circle of beds woven from green grass, a total of twelve beds, corresponding to the twelve vampires.

"Your Majesty the Duke."

Including Emlyn, the young vampires all saluted respectfully.

Emlyn stood there and heard the mellow voice coming from the tomb asking:

"Now that we're here, let's get started."

"Yes."

The vampires had no complaints, and they all lowered their heads and walked to their own beds and lay down. Emlyn also slowly approached his bed, but his heart was filled with turmoil!
Because he was absolutely sure that the ember was right next to him!

I can't see him because I'm not strong enough.

But Duke Olmer is an angel!
He didn't react at all. Didn't he even notice Yu Jin? Doesn't that mean Yu Jin's strength is even higher than Duke Olmer's? Above Sequence 2, could it be a Sequence 1 angel? That's the closest existence to the True God!

Emlyn swallowed hard. He knew that Ember was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong. There was only one Sequence 1 angel even among the vampires, and that was the goddess of beauty, Ornia. She was second only to the ancestor of the vampires!

As for the possibility that Ember was a true god, Emlyn didn't even dare to think about it!
After all how is this possible?
It is said that the gods of the Fifth Epoch cannot walk in the human world, and this is indeed the case.

Although the gods of the Orthodox Church occasionally send down oracles, they have never really appeared. It has always been the Triple Crown holders of the major churches who convey their will. If Ember is really a god, then he should be like other gods, unable to walk in the human world due to some restrictions.

Emlyn was in a state of confusion, but he still lay down on the bed honestly.

He didn't want others to see his panic and anxiety, especially Duke Olmer.

When all the vampires lay down on their beds, a strange fragrance began to spread in the hall. Emlyn knew that it was the incense made by Duke Olmer to help them fall asleep as soon as possible. After all, as extraordinary creatures and nocturnal creatures, the vampires did not need too much sleep and were not used to falling asleep at night.

Although most of them can adjust to this, it is naturally best to have the help of incense.

Just like now.

Before they knew it, all the vampires had fallen asleep, into that mysterious dream world.

A second ago, Emlyn was still wondering when the ember would appear.

The next second, when he came to his senses, he found that he was sitting next to a campfire.

The bonfire is located at the end of a dilapidated bridge. On the opposite side of the bridge is an open iron gate leading to a sewer full of rats.

Not far in front of the campfire was a patrolling monster.

"Forget it, that's not something I should consider."

Emlyn shook his head. No matter what happened between Yu Jin and Duke Olmer, he had no right to interfere. What he had to do now was to open the map as soon as possible and head to the Fran Fortress mentioned by the "world"!
-
When all the vampires entered the dreamland, the iron-gray hall fell into complete silence.

There was no more sound coming from the vibrant tomb, just like an ordinary tomb.

Until the sound of footsteps broke the silent atmosphere, a figure emerged from hiding and walked to the grave.

A mellow voice whose age could not be determined was heard again from the grave:
"You finally came."

Olmer's tone was full of emotion:

"Thousands of years have passed. I thought I would never see you again in this life."

Ember was a little surprised:
"Thousands of years have passed, and you still remember it?"

The tombstone in front of the grave moved to the right, revealing a passage large enough for one person to pass through.

A handsome young man with dazzling blond hair walked out, his expression somewhat complicated, and he smiled bitterly:
"How could I possibly forget? Not to mention thousands of years, I wouldn't be able to forget even if tens of thousands of years had passed."

Although it happened thousands of years ago, even now, what happened on that day is still vivid in my mind!

On that day, in Landenheim, the most glorious city of the vampires, his father, the god of the vampires, the god of life, fell in his own castle. At the same time, another god also fell - the bloody moon.

With their fall, Lilith truly stepped onto the stage of history. She became a true ancient god and the authentic ancestor of the vampire race.

And the person who caused all this was Ember!

It was he who killed the God of Life and ended the 'bloody moon', and it was he who helped Lilith ascend to the throne of God!

Even Olmer's current status is thanks to Yu Jin.

Although it was the Ember that killed his father, it also gave him the opportunity to become a demigod. To be honest, Olmer was even grateful to the Ember.

After all, if it weren't for Yu Jin killing the God of Life and his father, he probably would never have the chance to become a demigod in his life, let alone become one of the three dukes of the blood clan like he is now.

But this person who caused drastic changes in the blood clan and helped the blood clan give birth to the ancient gods disappeared without a trace afterwards.

The entire blood clan, including the ancestor of the blood clan and the goddess of beauty, had tried to find traces of his existence. But in the past thousands of years, the blood clan found nothing, as if this person did not exist in the world at all, and what happened in Landenheim was just a legend, a dream.

But Olmer, who had experienced all of this personally and had come into contact with Lilith and Embers, didn't think so.

Although he had never found any trace of the existence of the embers, he was always in awe of them, even though the embers had disappeared for thousands of years.

After all, this person was able to kill gods thousands of years ago!
In the Second Age, everyone believed that the Blood Clan Ancestor, the Destruction Wolf, and the Alien King who died in the Age of Fire were the first gods to fall. But only the Blood Clan knew that a god had already fallen completely before the birth of the Eight Ancient Gods!
According to the historical records of the Blood Clan, it was the fall of the 'Moon' god that truly ushered in the era of the eight ancient gods.

Because of the fall of the 'Moon', the first ancient god of the Second Age was born, the ancestor of the blood clan.

Before Lilith ascended to the throne of God, the vampires were the weakest among all the supernatural races, because they had neither true gods nor enough angels. Compared with other supernatural races that had at least multiple angels, the vampires only had one God of Life.

When the God of Life fell, Lilith was the first to ascend to the throne, and the Blood Clan suddenly became the most powerful extraordinary race, bar none! Whether it was a giant or a dragon, they could only bow down before the Blood Clan!

Even though the subsequent existences such as the Fantasy Dragon and the Giant King Ormir successively ascended to the throne of God, their strength was far inferior to that of the Blood Clan Ancestor. Among the eight ancient gods of the Second Epoch, the Blood Clan Ancestor was the strongest god, no one else!

The best proof is that even if he was betrayed and framed, the ancestor of the blood clan was able to drag the Destruction Wolf and the Alien King to death together.

But all this is in the past.

The glory of the blood clan disappeared with the death of the blood clan ancestor, and the blood clan became a stray dog ​​after that.

Without the protection of the gods, the vampires could only hide among humans and survive. Even if some of the vampires, led by his sister, the goddess of life, took refuge with the elves, their life under the protection of others was far from stable.

Olmer was once extremely puzzled. He didn't understand why Yu Jin had helped the ancestor of the blood clan ascend to the throne of god, and why he had to watch the ancestor of the blood clan die in betrayal, while he himself never showed up from beginning to end.

And now, when the ember appeared in front of him, he really wanted to find out why all this happened.

But after a complex psychological struggle, Olmer wisely chose to remain silent.

He shouldn't be the one asking this question, and he has no right to ask it.

Olmer cleared his mind and took the initiative to ask:
"What do you need me to do?"

Ember asked:
"Where is Ornia now?"

"I have no idea,"

Olmer shook his head and said:

"I know the positions of the three great dukes of the blood clan. I stayed in Backlund, one stayed in Trier, the capital of the Republic of Intis, and another stayed in Feyneter, the capital of the Kingdom of Feyneter. You should be familiar with both of them. The one who stayed in Trier is my sister, Alyssa, who was also the goddess of life of the blood clan. There is another one..."

Olmer hesitated, and said with mixed emotions:

"The other one is Alina, whom you have also met. She was Alyssa's servant at that time."

Olmer's senses are quite complex. Among the four angels of the blood clan, he is the only male.

The other three had all had encounters with Yu Jin.

Olnia is Lilith's sister and Ember's younger sister.

Alyssa and Elena both met Yu Jin that night.

It is hard not to suspect that the three of them were able to become angels because of Yu Jin, just like the ancestor of the blood race. The most typical example is Elina, who was once just an ordinary human, not even a blood race.

But she received the first embrace from the ancestor of the blood clan, and became a true demigod, on par with Olmer.

But Olmer couldn't say anything about it. After all, to be honest, he was also blessed by Yu Jin.

If he had not been friendly when he first came into contact with Yu Jin and the others, he would probably have ended up like his brother, whose name he had forgotten, with not even a complete corpse to be pieced together.

Of course, even if Olmer wanted to say anything now, it would be useless.

After all, there are only four of them left among the vampires who had experienced all that happened back then. Even if the other vampires did not die in the war with other supernatural races, they have already died of natural causes of old age.

After all, although the lifespan of vampires is long, if they cannot become angels, there is still a limit. The lifespan of ordinary vampires is only two to three hundred years, and a Sequence 4 demigod can only live for more than a thousand years.

What happened thousands of years ago is just a distant legend even for the vampires.

Even though Olmer is a duke, if he declares to all the vampires that "the rise of the vampires is due to a human, and the reason why the four angels of the vampires can become angels is also due to that human", not many vampires will believe him.

Even though the other vampires didn't dare to say anything out of fear, they must have felt in their hearts that Olmer might have something wrong with his brain.

As his thoughts turned, Olmer continued:

"There are almost no vampires in the Feysac Empire. One reason is that it is difficult for vampires to hide themselves due to their size. Moreover, the relationship between giants and vampires has never been very harmonious, and the attitude towards vampires is not very friendly. Once discovered, they will be treated as heretics."

"Among the remaining three kingdoms, I and the other two dukes will be in charge of one kingdom each and handle the affairs of the vampires in our own country."

"Lady Ornia basically doesn't care about anything and rarely shows up, except for occasional oracles. So no one, including us three dukes, knows where Lady Ornia is."

"However, I guess Lady Ornia should be in Renburg now."

Yu Jin thought for a moment and asked:
"What's the reason?"

Olmer said simply:
"There is some in-depth cooperation between the blood clan and the Church of Knowledge. This part of the cooperation is handled by the blood clan of Renburg, and even the three dukes have no room to interfere. However, with only a few local demigods, they are obviously not qualified enough to be responsible for the cooperation with the Church of Knowledge. Only Lady Ornia can make direct decisions on this part of the matter."

After a pause, Olmer pointed to the vampires outside the tomb and continued:

"For example, the dream world is a collaboration with the Church of Knowledge, and it was an oracle personally issued by Lady Ornia."

"The Church of Knowledge?"

Yu Jin was a little surprised, because the dream world was created by Kalula, and the vampires were the explorers and participants of the dream world.

He originally thought that this was a collaboration between the vampires and Carula, but he didn't expect that there was a knowledge church in between.

But the question is, why should the Church of Knowledge be involved?

Kalula creates dreams, and the vampires are responsible for exploration.

What about the Church of Knowledge? What role do they play in it?
If you are just responsible for exploration, there is no need to find a knowledge church specifically.

After all, anyone who is an extraordinary person can enter the dream world.

The first batch of vampires entering is considered an internal test to experiment whether the dream world can run stably.

However, the entry of the Tarot Club members and the subsequent entry of the Hall family's extraordinary people into the dream world meant that the dream world could already be "openly tested" to a certain extent. In addition, the dream world itself had the property of helping digest potions. Once it spread, it would definitely attract a large number of extraordinary people.

In this case, there is absolutely no need to specifically look for a righteous church to cooperate with, and there is even less need to look for the Church of Knowledge, which is the weakest among the righteous churches, unless the Church of Knowledge plays some important role in it!
Yu Jin thought for a moment and then spoke again:

"Does the Blood Clan have any clues about the fortune teller, the thief, and the apprentice path demigod?"

Olmer thought for a moment and said:

"I'll ask Backlund's vampires to help keep an eye on it."

After a pause, Olmer asked again:

"How can I contact you?"

Olmer's eyes flickered. He hoped to take this opportunity to learn the honorific name of the ember.

That's what he had wanted to know thousands of years ago.

Ember saw what Olmer was thinking, but his answer was simple:
"You can pray to fools."
