twilight end

The funeral was still going on quietly, and there was a strong scent of sandalwood in the air.

I noticed that there are no common joss sticks in front of the old man's tomb, so where did this strange scent come from?

A cute baby-faced girl appeared next to the little Taoist priest, and she didn't say a word during the whole process, just touching his back from time to time to express comfort.

Li Cheng, the boy took out a golden feather from his pocket and handed it to the girl who was obviously baby fat, "I'll return this to you, thank you."

The girl took over the light and fluttering feather, and the touch of gold gradually melted in her palm, "I can't stay long, I will go back soon."

After waving to the boy, she ran towards me and the dead humans, only then did we realize that a tree next to me had been covered with an enchantment leading to another dimension.

The dead human stretched out his hand curiously, and instead of being sucked in as shown in the movie, his whole body bounced back a few feet like an elastic force.

"Hee hee," the chubby girl laughed, remembering that this was a funeral scene, she restrained her smile, glanced at the little Taoist priest to make sure he was not angry, and then walked towards the barrier with confidence. When passing by the dead humans, suddenly Stretching out his hand to touch the dead human, he exclaimed in surprise, "God's blessing?!"

She looked at the sky and said to herself, "It turns out that there is really God's blessing!"

After saying these inexplicable words, the little princess of the Feng clan walked into the barrier, and after a while, the entrance of the barrier disappeared in front of our eyes together with the little princess.

I looked at the dead human in puzzlement: "God's blessing? What is that?"

The dead human spread his hands: "I don't know either."

You don’t even know what exists in your body, so stop fooling me, but he also looks puzzled, I think I’d better go back and ask Rui.

But after the funeral, the answer to this question was quickly found. Instead of comforting his bereaved wife, a certain research fanatic followed me and the dead humans with an excuse, his face full of excitement as if he had won a Nobel Prize.

"The little phoenix princess just said that you have God's blessings on you? Did I hear you right?" The blond man ran over excitedly, and touched the dead human with a look of curiosity, "It's nothing special!"

The dead human grabbed his arm with his backhand, his expression was more excited than his, "Do you know what that god's blessing is?"

The blond man nodded and made a deep expression.

"What's the use? Can you keep youth forever or is it just referring to my ability." It's strange that he looked at me eagerly when he mentioned eternal youth, which gave me a chill.

Seeing the eagerness of the dead human beings, the blond man smiled, put away his hypocritical intention, and explained to us, "God's blessing is a name, or a kind of soul quality."

Seeing the blank faces of me and the dead humans, he added, "It can also be called constitution, which has been handed down from ancient times. It is said that when God created all things, he selected one of his favorite individuals from each species. , be blessed that no matter how reincarnated this individual soul is, it will remain the species God created it to be.”

He pointed at the dead human beings, "That is to say, you were a human being in your previous life, you will be a human being in your previous life, and you will be a human being in your next life."

"Every life maintains the original shape created by God? Is this the law of species immortality? One species will always remain?" The dead human scratched his head, "Then there is no need to worry about species extinction."

"That's another matter. Without this species, that blessed soul will find no attachment and will go back to God."

I listened to them discussing the biology of magic with great headache, and saw a beetle crawling by the tree, "Being a bug for life after life, is this also called blessing?"

It suddenly occurred to me that the physique of the blood race lasts forever, and it will always be in the form of a vampire. This is very similar to that god's blessing, but it cannot be reincarnated, and the number is not unique.

The blond man obviously thought of this too, he looked at me with a smile, "Qiong, do you know the origin of your blood race?"

I shook my head, and seriously began to reflect on the ignorance caused by skipping Elder Kirk's course.

"According to the history of magic, you are a kind of existence created by the devil Satan to fight against God. To prove that you are more capable than God, the number of production is relatively large, and the target is relatively the most intelligent human being among all creatures. It is just that Satan When doing it, God sent an archangel to stop it, but the angel’s snow-white wings inspired Satan, because the wings on his back resembled a bat, and he had the physique of a bat when he created the vampire.”

The dead humans seemed to be listening to a wonderful storytelling, and nodded frequently. I half-believed and made up my mind that when I went back to the London family to hang out in the future, I must go to the library of the family to find historical data to confirm.

The sky and the earth, just this one person, suddenly felt a little funny. The dead humans once laughed at the werewolf Morrie for cherishing and protecting animals, and indirectly mocked Rui and me. Now look at the blessings of God for this Lao Shizi. His brother is the one worthy of protection!

The blond man looked expectantly at the dead human beings: "It's such a blessing to be able to find a human being who has God's blessing among all living beings."

He held the hand of the dead human, as if he was afraid that he would run away, "Would you mind going to my laboratory with me to see the cockroaches and dogtail grass that I found with God's blessing?"

The face of the dead human twitched, and he gritted his teeth a bit, "How dare you compare me with cockroaches and dogtails?"

"No, no, you are the only human being who has God's blessing. You are much more precious than dogtail grass." The blond man hurriedly explained, "You must protect it well." His eyes are exactly the same as those of the giant panda elk researcher.

I finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Those who laugh at others, people will always laugh at them, it's not that they don't repay, the time has not yet arrived, and when the time comes, the retribution will be unhappy.

The dead human politely declined the blond man's invitation to visit, saying that he had something to do, and drove me back to the car.

I don’t know why, when he heard the words of God’s blessing a few times just now, his eyes always flashed some strange lights, the first time was sadness, then nostalgia, and finally there was a trace of sad love, It's just a quick flash.

When I got home at night and saw Rui sitting in front of the computer and browsing the latest medical information unchanged for thousands of years, I knew that the remaining problems of the witcher should be almost resolved.

His right hand was still inflexible when typing on the keyboard. It seemed that the wound he was attacked in the hospital last time hadn't fully healed yet, and the power of the silver bullet was indeed astonishing.

I was faintly touched in my heart. I always felt that all this seemed to be far from over. How could the demon hunters have been brewing a war for so long, and how could they be easily defeated, and the sequelae could be resolved so quickly.

Did we miss an important step from the beginning to the end, maybe everything is just the beginning.

I hugged my head on the sofa and thought hard. When Rui saw me coming back, she came over and handed me a blood bag as usual. I continued to be in a daze with the blood bag in my hand.

I usually seldom be in a daze. I used to spend most of my time watching TV and playing games.

Recently, there have been a lot of scenes of turning over work-related data in a waning mood. Compared with the number of dazed times, Rui is much more than me.

According to Elder Kok, it’s called contemplation. Che, it’s obviously distracted. Mine was called in a daze by him, but Rui’s was just contemplation. The old man’s partiality can be seen.

I nestled on the sofa and kept the same posture for a long time, so abnormal that Rui finally felt strange, and walked back again, "What's wrong with you?" Crystal Rock City Forum

Startled by his voice, I told the truth reflexively, "Are the remaining demon hunters really wiped out so easily? They shouldn't be so useless, right?"

Rui frowned, a little dissatisfied with the question of me raising the ambition of others and destroying my own prestige, "You doubt our ability?"

Seeing that he seemed to be determined, I began to hesitate. I have been with him for hundreds of years, and I know better than anyone that Rui, the future patriarch of the blood clan, is definitely not a vegetarian.

"I just think they're a little too vulnerable," I smirk, "it doesn't fit the image of justice shown in TV movies!"

"So you want our side to suffer more casualties?" Rui's voice was a little sinister, "Just because of your fictional TV movie image?"

"Nope," I saw that he misunderstood, and I was also a little unhappy, "I'm just worried that the witcher is full of tricks and will set up suspicious tactics." After all, more than half of the 36 tricks can be summed up as suspicious formations. When the other party relaxes his attention Strength, and then hit head-on.

Ray stretched out his left hand to rub my hair and smiled, "Am I that easy to deceive?"

I couldn't help shaking when I saw him smiling so warmly for nothing, every time he smiled, there was nothing good about it.

Almighty Satan, that smile is aimed at demon hunters, it has absolutely nothing to do with me, I warn you, it must have nothing to do with me, otherwise, um, nothing seems to be able to threaten Almighty Satan, um, otherwise , I will go to God.

Sure enough, the prayer took effect, Rui quickly restrained his smile, and stared at me sharply, "Have you been getting close to that human kid recently?"

I met his gaze, and I didn't know why I felt a little guilty, so I nodded honestly, and saw that his face turned half black in an instant, so that he would not turn into a smile after a while, I quickly added, "I recently became a colleague, When I go to work, it is inevitable to look up and not to see down."

Rui sighed, looked at me rather troubled, pursed his beautiful lips, I always felt that he was going to say, "Don't go to work tomorrow."

But he didn't say anything in the end, just looked at me silently, his blue eyes alternately dimmed and shimmering, he could see that he was struggling, and I felt that I might have read it wrong, and there was a faint pain in Rui's eyes.

I was uncomfortable with his eyes, so I put my hands around his waist and buried my head in his chest, not wanting to see Rui's eyes.

I don't know why, seeing him struggling like this, and remembering the serious eyes when the dead humans looked at me at that time, I felt a dull pain in my heart, and the sore feeling filled my throat, such discomfort.

I was a little panicked, when did everything change unconsciously?

I really miss the days when I was obsessed with movies and online games. When I was addicted, I didn’t have any troubles. After the movie finished watching the next one, I cheered when I won the PK, and got up and continued to work hard when I lost. It's okay to go to the carnival of the spirits in the zoo.

But at this moment, wonderful movies are still being released, the latest version of online games are still being released, and the spirits recovering from their wounds have already resumed their carnival tradition.

But I don’t know why, I’m not interested in these things, and even imagining the obsession of the past feels illusory?

"Rui," I raised my head to meet his gaze, "Why do I always feel that something is wrong?"

He didn't speak, he lowered his head to hold my lips, biting slightly, there was a hint of dodge and unwillingness in his eyes, and he began to explore my body with hesitation with both hands, gradually becoming eager.

I could hear his faster breathing than usual, and feel that my body and his body began to heat up, but my heart was strangely calm, waiting inappropriately, waiting for him to stop.

Sure enough, after I gasped uncontrollably, Rui froze for a moment, pulled his hand out of my clothes, and turned his head away.

The heat left by him is still there, and even his condition will not be much better than mine, but I know that this is the limit, and we can only go so far.

There is something invisible and intangible lying between us, I don't know how to cross it, but he is simply powerless or unwilling to cross it.

Rui didn't get up to leave, and he didn't open his mouth to explain. Of course, I didn't ask any questions. How should I ask?If you want to do it, you will naturally continue to do it. If you don’t want to do it, if you ask, the result is still the same. Rui has always been famous and powerful. In this world, there are only things he doesn’t want to do, and there is nothing he can’t do.

Silence spread between us, he leaned on me, never moved, never turned his head, time passed by, breathing has returned to steady.

I thought that if I didn't speak again, I might rely on each other for eternity without speaking, so I had to speak and chose a completely irrelevant topic: "Rui, have you heard of God's blessing?"

Because they were very close, they were almost stuck together, so Rui's body could be felt to vibrate slightly.

I raised my eyes, but his expression was the same as usual, he didn't ask me where I heard the strange name, and started to explain, and his explanation was different from that of the blond man.

"God's blessing is a name concocted by magicians who wrote the history of magic. It was a spell created by a magician who can be called No. 1 in the magic world thousands of years ago. This spell is at the cost of life. Or spirits can only be used once in a lifetime, and the spell is used to change the form of existence."

He looked at me with a smile, "I know this spell. You have not been used to being a vampire for many years. I can turn you back into a human."

His eyes were burning, and he smiled very gently at me, but I was inexplicably terrified.

"No, no, no," I hurriedly grabbed him to prevent him from making a spell gesture, "I'm used to it, I can't live as an ordinary human without the power."

Just kidding, it will cost your life. There is no comparison between not being able to bask in the sun and Rui disappearing forever.

Rui seemed a bit disappointed. Recently, I always saw deep tiredness in his eyes. He lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "Brother loves you more than anyone else after all."

"What?" I suspect his voice was so low that I misheard something, "Ray, have I seen your brother?"

I joined Kindred and soon learned that Ray had an older brother who died hundreds of years ago in a battle with the Witcher.

After all, this is the pain in the hearts of Rui and Mrs. Myers, and the clansmen will not mention it, and naturally I will not touch their sad things either.

Rui didn't answer my question, his eyes drifted to the distance, thousands of years ago.

I suddenly had an idea, and quickly asked: "Did the magician who invented the god's spell thousands of years ago use this method to transform monsters into other non-threatening forms, and wiped out the evils that harmed the human world at the cost of his own life?" Different space monsters?"

Rui turned his head, looked at me dumbly, and then nodded.

"Ah, that magician is so powerful. He saved the common people with his own power. The greatness of his feats is truly unprecedented. It should be written in the magic book. Why are there such sporadic records? Misunderstanding of the researchers."

I feel a little bit sorry for the magician, that blond guy who has no vision and no heart is jealous of his talent, and shamelessly said that Warcraft is a great magician, it is really nonsense.

"It's really worthy of admiration to eliminate the monsters in different dimensions with a single spell!" I sighed, as expected, there is no comparison between humans (?), people can easily invent spells to destroy monsters, but I can't use the ready-made spells I forget it after memorizing it, and I am so frustrated when I think about it.

"Hey, Lian Qiong, you are too thick-skinned for praising yourself like this?"

Morrie didn't know when he was already leaning on the sofa, with Miss Feng Wuhen next to him. He was really not afraid of that woman who was covered in poison.

"Praise yourself? What does this have to do with me? Where is the praise? It's not like I'm just..." I opened my mouth wide and looked at Xiang Rui.

"That's right," he nodded, "That magician known as No.1 in the magic world was your previous life?"

"No way?" I opened my mouth wide in shock.

"It's true. Lian Qiong." Morrie smiled meaningfully, and began to tell the history of the old blood and tears of the vampires and werewolves.

More than 1000 years ago, the vampire and werewolf families spread all over Europe. That was the heyday of the two clans. At the most prosperous time, they even developed to raise a large number of young human girls in the castle to supply the midnight carnival of the vampire and werewolf.

This period was also a period of intense confrontation between the demon hunters and the two races.

In the silence of the night, groups of villagers holding torches often go out to look for their missing daughters or fiancées, followed by priests who hang crosses and hold holy water.

In the wilderness, villagers often find that their missing girls have been sucked dry of blood and turned into mummified corpses lying in the weeds.

Angry villagers organized night patrols, killing a large number of vampires and werewolves who were alone, and found more dead girls during the day.

To the horror of the villagers, many of the vampires who came to attack were once their relatives, friends or neighbors.

For a moment, everyone was in danger, wondering whether the companions who fought side by side today would become devils coveting your blood tomorrow.

Under such circumstances, the magicians who lived in seclusion in the mountains all year round finally reached a consensus with the court and began to intervene secretly.

Merlin, the chief magician before Arthur's throne, passed away many years ago. Although he has many disciples, they are good and bad. Therefore, the intervention of magicians and wizards is at best to maintain an even match with the blood werewolves.

This situation lasted for nearly 200 years, and the stalemate between hunting and anti-hunting was finally broken by the blood clan's rebellion.

Conway, the cousin of the patriarch of the blood clan, eloped with Alice, the great-granddaughter of the legendary disciple of the magician Merlin after failing to usurp the position of the patriarch, and lived in seclusion in the mountains.

A few months later, Conway, who learned that the act of usurping the throne that year was completely a conspiracy trap arranged by his wife, killed his wife by mistake in a rage.

When he eloped back then, he had made a love spell with Alice to live and die together. Conway, who knew he was going to die soon, had no choice but to send his infant son back to the blood clan.

Due to the death of her husband, Mrs. Myers, who succeeded the blood patriarch, forgave Conway's selfish rebellion many years ago, and promised to raise his and Alice's children to grow up.

This child has half blood, so in order to commemorate his return, Mrs. Myers named the child Luodi, which means return in the ancient elf language.

However, although Madam forgave Conway's fault, many members of the blood family whose wives and children were separated because of the rebellion couldn't let it go, and even those who missed the glory of the blood feast every night even blamed Conway for the current depression. unrest.

Although the blood race does not have the concept of repaying debts from father to son, Luodi, who lives in long-term resentment, still has a difficult life.

The 16-year-old boy is wrapped in a black cloak all the year round, his father committed crimes in the clan, his mother was an enemy of the clan, rumors that he was killed by his father, unfriendly clansmen, and the great elder who taught magic made things difficult all the time.

Everything just made the boy wrap his cloak tighter, as if he could isolate himself from all the hostility around him through that layer of dark cloth.

Probably because of the blood of his mother's outstanding magician, Luodi's learning of magic can almost be called a talent.

He couldn't bear the long-term indifference of the clan, and finally left the blood clan alone with the magic book left by his mother on a night when the moon was light and the stars were dim.

Mrs. Myers entrusted the wind elf to find the whereabouts of Luodi. She only knew that he had appeared in the Alps, still wrapped in his black cloak, holding a newborn kitten in his arms, and he was no longer there. whereabouts.

The wife's eldest son, Ferjis, has grown up and started to take over the affairs of the clan, while the youngest son, Rui, stayed in the elves because of his grandmother's love. Occasionally, he would return to the clan with the wind elves who sent messages to visit his mother and elder brother.

The members of the blood clan saw Luodi again in a catastrophe many years later.

In just one week, unexplained landslides occurred in many mountains in Europe, and tsunamis occurred many times on the coastal land. What is even more frightening is that the Rhine, Thames, Volga and other rivers backflowed, and the sea water poured into the land. All of Europe was in chaos.

There are many rumors, and most magicians and wizards are convinced that the cause of these strange phenomena is that the magic beast sealed in a different space broke the enchantment of the seabed, came out to wreak havoc on the European continent, and sought revenge for the magician Merlin who sealed him.

Merlin has passed away with King Arthur for a long time. It is impossible to know whether he has sealed the monsters and whether the enchantment is on the bottom of the sea. , but left the footprints of huge beasts everywhere.

The whole of Europe was panicked, and the monarchs of various countries summoned magicians to discuss countermeasures. The war between the vampire werewolves and the demon hunters came to a sudden stop, and each concentrated their energy on dealing with the sudden disaster.

It is said that a handsome man wrapped in a black cloak appeared at the meeting where the monarchs of various countries gathered.

Standing next to Duke Onan, the ninth patriarch of the Sanchez family of the witcher family, he was so handsome that even the moonlight paled.

Long black hair, deep purple eyes, skin that seems to have been wrapped in a black cloak for thousands of years, revealing an abnormal paleness, the slender arms are not too slender and pale, and the blue meridians can be seen faintly.

The corrupt lifestyle of the royal family is hidden in the graceful ostentation and strict laws, and the common people have no way of knowing and understanding. The kings of various countries who are present have never seen the beauty of the kings. Seeing the handsome man who took off the black cloak at this moment, it is still Unable to control themselves, their Adam's apples slid up and down.

The man looked at the perverts around him contemptuously, and coldly told the princes and nobles in his seat that he had a way to end this disaster, on the condition that the monarchs of all countries must promise to stop chasing and killing vampire werewolves and other alien races.

Everyone was confused by the man's beauty, and their infatuated eyes lingered on the man's face and body, but no one heard any words from that elegant lips.

At this time, the Duke of Onan, who was silent all the time, bent down unexpectedly, picked up the black cloak from the ground, and wrapped it around the man's body again, covering most of his face.

Many gorgeously dressed satyrs had no time to roar angrily. The cups, plates, dishes and lamps and candles in the entire conference hall had already floated into the air. The Duke of England, who had the most obvious eyes, was even thrown out of the window by an inexplicable force. .

"You'd better believe what he said." The Duke of Onan withdrew his outstretched hands, and the cups, saucers and lighting appliances that were dancing with demons returned to their places. "This is just a little magic he taught me. Only He's alone, and you'd better do what he says."

The princes and ministers don't know, but the magicians know that any magic requires spells and gestures, and some even require complicated rituals.

At this moment, the Duke of Onan just stretched out his hand to have this effect. This is just a small magic taught by the man, so the man's ability to change the world may not be a lie.

The monarchs of various countries, with the idea of ​​using a dead horse as a living horse doctor, nodded one after another under the suggestion of the magicians.

When the promise was about to be made, the patriarch of another demon hunter family stopped him, "No way, make this promise, am I going to be slaughtered by those demons?"

The fatuous monarchs reacted and hesitated. Facing the doubts and contempt of their colleagues, before the Duke of Onan could speak, the man wrapped in a black cloak spoke first, "I will let the vampires and werewolves sign the same agreement. .”

The Sanchez family is very famous among the demon hunters, and the Duke of Onan also owns large territories in England and France, so the kings and lords of the various countries quickly signed an agreement.

The sound of swallowing saliva could still be heard in the hall long after the man in the black cloak and the duke had left.

"The Duke of Aonan is already a famous beauty, but this boy in black with unknown origin is even more beautiful than the Duke..." The following words disappeared from his mouth. After all, the most important thing is to solve the crisis. With the royal power in hand, do you want any beauty?

When Luodi, who gave up the black cloak to cover his face, came to the blood clan where he had lived for more than ten years, no member of the clan recognized who he was.

The man who recognized him, hugged him kindly, and smiled like sunshine, but he couldn't recognize him.

"Luo Di, I'm Feljis, don't you recognize me?" The future patriarch patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "I've been away for so many years, finally come back to see us?"

Everything that followed went smoothly. Ferges and Mori, the nephew of the werewolf patriarch, persuaded the tribesmen of the two tribes to promise not to harm the lives of the food when hunting.

The agreement was established, but within a few days, all the weird natural phenomena suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.

No one knows how Luodi did it, but the passing of the disaster is a good thing, and no one asked about Luodi's method, and Luodi's title of magician No. 1 also began to spread after the disaster.

In order to appease the hearts of the people, all the magicians worked together to cast a spell to erase people's memory of this disaster, so there is almost no record of this aspect in human history.

Also in order to prevent the riots of the low-level spirits, the forgotten spells were also cast on other ethnic groups. Although the high-level magicians heard about it, they were afraid of causing panic, so the history of magic and the history of elves recorded only a few words. language.

"That's it?" Morrie stopped his history lecture, took a sip of water, and I immediately urged him, "Then how did this disaster happen? You still haven't explained it!"

Mori shrugged: "It's still a mystery until now, I can only ask you, Luo Di is your past life, since there is a solution, of course I know the source."

But I don’t remember anything. If I do, do I still need you to give me a long lecture on history?

"Actually," Morrie hesitated for a while, looking at Rui, "I always thought that the instigator of that disaster was Luo Di."

"Ah? How come?"

"I compared it carefully, and the footprints of that magical beast are exactly the same as the footprints of the tiger cub that Luo Di raised at that time, which was brought from the east, except for the size."

Rui nodded in agreement, "He does have this ability."

Anyway, I don’t remember, I just arrange it as you like, I looked at the ceiling, “How did Luo Di die?”

Now that I exist, and I mentioned my previous life, it is estimated that the great Luo Di must have died in the end.

Ray and Morrie glanced at each other, one lowered his head to drink water, and the other sighed softly.

Silence just spread between us.
