Chapter 250: Killing and silence

Some of the thirteen disciples are blood clans?

Under the glaciers on the Pyrenees, such a scene is actually preserved... The races of the Dark Council once fought side by side with the church?

Xiao Lei only felt that all this had almost subverted all his previous cognition.

"A total of six..." Ye Buqun's face was gloomy: "The final test report showed that the blood of six of them showed abnormal reactions... I didn't know how to explain all this... After that, I found an opportunity and extracted some blood samples from the current blood clan. After the test, I found that... the blood identification results from the documents left by the Thirteenth disciples were almost the same as the blood identification results of the current blood clan, but there were still some differences. Then I did a series of problems again.

What surprised me was that I had a total of three blood samples from the existing blood clans, two of which were from lower blood clans. The last blood sample was from a prince-level blood clan, which was a blood-carred dagger left in the battle back then. In fact, my approach had violated the rules of the Holy See. Originally, the Holy See strictly prohibited anyone from using the blood of dark creatures for any scientific identification... Now, I think about it, I am afraid that the truth will be leaked."

Ye Buqun became very depressed. Xiao Lei asked, "So, what is the difference between the three-point real blood sample you extracted from the previous results?"

Ye Buqun heard Xiao Lei’s question and then he barely cheered up and replied: “The first two blood samples came from low-level blood clans, and there was some difference between them and the DNA map of the Thirteenth disciples, and the blood sample from the prince was much smaller… I infer from this… it may be related to the level of the blood clan. There is no doubt that some of the Thirteenth disciples are blood clans, but the only difference is that they are not only blood clans, but also high-level blood clans! Even more advanced blood clans than the prince’s level!”

Xiao Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said bitterly: "No wonder the church tried its best to hide this kind of thing... The blood clan of life and death was once a close comrade-in-arms with the church... Haha, haha, haha..." Xiao Lei couldn't help laughing a few times, but even he could hear how forced the laughter was.

"Do you know the origin of the vampire? Lei?" Ye Buqun sighed: "I found evidence that the blood clan was once a close comrade in the church, and even some of the thirteen disciples were blood clans. The shock at that time was really indescribable. I started to search for the origin of the blood clan like crazy. I wanted to find out where did the blood clans who were regarded as the enemy of life and death by the church, and where did they come from!"

"Have you found it?" Xiao Lei asked this and couldn't help but sigh and smiled bitterly: "I'm so stupid that I asked. You must have found something."

"The process is very difficult." Ye Buqun shook his head: "Because the truth of history has been obliterated, and it has even been deliberately changed. First of all, there are probably two types of vampires that are recognized at present."

Ye Buqun's expression was solemn: "The first type is widely recognized by the believers and the most religious spirit. It is based on the origin of the vampire described in the Bible..." His voice seemed to chant, and slowly said: "God created Adam, the first male human in the world, and was afraid that he would be alone, so he made a woman with Adam's ribs. So they became the earliest pair of humans in the world. Later, Adam and Eve stole the forbidden fruit of Eden and reproduced. The first child they gave birth to was a man.

The name is Cain! This Cain is the third human in this world! Legend has it that Cain is a farmer, and he worships God with his brother, Adam and Eve's other children. Cain uses vegetables, while his brother uses cattle and sheep. Cain is jealous and killed his brother. As a result, he was discovered by God. God is very angry. In order to punish Cain, God did not kill him, and made him immortal, but was forever despised by the world. Cain has therefore become an immortal creature, living with blood as food, and living miserably..."

Ye Buqun finished speaking in one breath and said slowly: "This is the legend of the origin of the earliest vampire. Because it comes from the Bible, this statement is recognized by most believers. Let's call it the 'official' statement."

Xiao Lei sneered, "Bible? Humph, it's the Bible again... Since this statement is said by the Bible, there is no doubt that it must be a series of nonsense. The Bible also says that this world was created by God in six days! It's all nonsense. What we Chinese myth believes is that Pangu created the world in creation! The Bible... is just a tool for your religion to deceive yourself."

Ye Buqun's eyes looked a little sad, and he shook his head: "Lei, I don't want to say this... I really don't want to."

Xiao Lei sighed: "Okay, sorry, I think you must be in a bad mood."

Ye Buqun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The worst time has passed, and now I only feel a little sad." He coughed, cheered up his spirits, and continued: "Well, according to the assumption, the legend of Cain in the Bible about the origin of the earliest vampires is false and untrue... So what is the purpose of leaving such a fake statement?"

Xiao Lei thought about it and said slowly: "If I was not wrong... the biggest purpose of leaving this statement is to obliterate the true origin of the blood clan... especially to leave a mark of evil on the blood clan! Let people in the world know that the blood clan has been abandoned by God since their ancestor Cain! The blood clan has been the enemy of God since ancient times! As long as people in the world accept this statement, the blood clan that naturally fought side by side with the church will not be known by people."

Ye Buqun closed his eyes: "History is compiled by the winners, and they will only describe it at will according to their own position. In the history compiled by the winners, the losers must be evil...hehe!!"

After saying this, Ye Buqun opened his eyes, shook his head, and continued: "The second description of the origin of vampires made me very interested. At least this legend shows in some way that vampires were once loyal to God!"

"In the Middle Ages... the legendary age was very chaotic. I will define its age in the Middle Ages. It was probably when the Eastern Roman Empire was not destroyed by pagans. There was once a knight named Count Dracula, a devout believer of finally God. He fought for his faith and went to the front line to fight the pagans. But because his life and death were unknown on the front line, false news came back to his hometown, and his family was blinded by false news and thought he had died in battle.

As a result, his wife committed suicide. When the battle ended and Count Dracula returned to his hometown, facing the news of his relative's death, his temperament changed drastically... He used a spear to angrily pierce the statue of Jesus, and asked God in anger and pain. Why did he fight for faith in the front, but his relatives died in despair! As a result, after the statue of Jesus was pierced by a spear, blood actually shed! Count Dracula has since turned into an immortal monster with blood as food..."

When Xiao Lei heard this, he immediately said: "There is no doubt that this statement is definitely not recognized by the Holy See. Because anyone who hears this legend will undoubtedly have sympathy for vampires. This legend will definitely not be created by the church!"

Before Ye Buqun could speak, Xiao Lei added another sentence and said with a smile: "Compared with the Bible's self-deception of the whole lie, I believe in this second legend more. After all, the Bible is just a product of religious and political needs, and its credibility is a bit unfair. I don't know where this second statement comes from?"

"It's just a legend, or folk legend." Ye Buqun seemed a little hesitant. On the one hand, he agreed with Xiao Lei's point of view in his heart. On the other hand, he still couldn't say disrespectful words to the church in terms of emotion. He just sighed and said, "The reason why folk legends arise is that I think there is naturally a shadow in it. If this legend is true, I may not necessarily think it is, but there should be a little bit of the shadow of facts. Even if ninety percent are fake, half of them are true."

Xiao Lei immediately interjected: "Well...yes, according to this second legend, this Count Dracula was indeed a believer who was loyal to God! It seems that vampires once fought side by side with the church, and there was still a little bit of news passed down."

Speaking of this, Xiao Lei suddenly said, "Old Ye... the results of the blood sample identification you just mentioned... did you bring out those things too?"

Those are evidence!

"Of course not." Ye Buqun smiled bitterly: "When you found me, all my belongings were the clothes on me. Do you see what identification result documents I have?"

His eyes were once again immersed in the memories...

"After the blood sample was reported, I could not stop feeling fear. I think I might have discovered some truths that should never be known! From centuries, the blood clan has become a symbol of evil and has become synonymous with sin and horror. Or, many of them are the result of the church's intentional propaganda. But if people now know that almost half of the thirteen holy disciples were actually dark creatures... Then, what will this result? How shock will it bring to the entire religious world? I even worry that once this result is exposed, it will seriously damage the foundation of religion!"

"I felt extremely frightened in my heart, but a vague desire for knowledge influenced me! I feel every day that I long to know the truth of history, and I long to dig out the truth of all this! During that time, the conflict between the church and the Dark Council continued to escalate, and all the guardian Knights were mobilized. My heart was carrying a heavy burden, and at the same time, I had to go to various places to carry out the mission of the Holy See. While I was holding a sacred sword in my hand and fighting with those dark creatures, but at the same time... there was a voice deep in my heart that told me...they, these enemies in front of them were really our friends, comrades-in-arms... or even brothers!??"

"Finally, during a pilgrimage, my abnormal state was discovered!"

"...Wait, how did you think you were discovered?" Xiao Lei asked in confusion.

"What you said just now is that the paladins in the church must be recognized by the Holy Angels, and must drip their own blood in the Holy Grail, and receive and recognize them by the Holy Angels. Every year, we must return to the Holy Church to perform a ceremony, and worship the Holy Grail with our piety and blood, so that our souls can communicate with the angels, continue to receive the protection of the angels, and allow our souls to receive the blessing of the angels' holy power!"

Xiao Lei immediately remembered that Ye Buqun's body was special and could not bear his own magic. His oriental magic could not heal his pain because of the angel mark on his soul.

I believe that the mark cannot exist forever and will gradually weaken over time, so it must be strengthened every once in a while.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lei immediately understood the purpose of the so-called ritual and asked: "So is there a problem in the ritual?"

"Yes." Ye Buqun nodded: "I worship as the Lafayette Angel among the Seven Angels. But that time, when I dripped blood into the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail did not accept my blood. My blood could not be fused. On the contrary, flames actually emerged from the Holy Grail, burning my blood! This situation only shows one result... that is, I am polluted and I am unclean!"

"What?"

"Pollution! It means that my soul is impure, I have been occupied by evil, and my faith has become dirty... So, my blood has carried sins and cannot worship the pure angel..." Ye Buqun's tone was bitter: "This is an ancient tradition of the Paladin. Any blood is rejected by the angel, then it means that this Paladin must have committed some sin! Because the omnipotent angel is omnipotent! No darkness or sin can be concealed from the omnipotent angel! Once uncleanness is found in the ceremony, the Paladin will be sent to the referee for judgment immediately!"

"Just be judged like this? Because of a ceremony, you are going to be judged? You are Paladins! You are Paladins with high status!!" Xiao Lei smiled bitterly: "This is too rash!"

"Everyone was shocked at that time, because as the chief paladin of the Knights, I was once the most pious and firm believer of faith... The other paladins were shocked, and even they thought they must have made a mistake, because in their opinion, I would never be able to do anything betrayal." Ye Buqun smiled bitterly: "But I was very shocked at that time! Because I knew very well in my heart, I knew that I had indeed shaken my faith! On the one hand, I was shocked by the angel's omniscience... On the other hand, I did not resist and let them send me to the referee."

"Bah! What an omniscient angel... Lao Ye, I don't think it's strange... Your angel is just some powerful beings... Even in our Eastern myths and legends, most of those powerful guys know some magical spells such as "mind reading technique"! I think those angels mostly use this similar spell to see through your heart. As for the ritual... I guess it may be a guise of deceit..."

"How do you know?"

Xiao Lei smiled and said, "I ask you, before attending the ceremony, do you require all of you to calm down and take distracting thoughts? Keep pious and respectful in your heart?"

"That's for sure! After all, the ceremony is sacred!"

"That's right! Because you are paladins after all, you have a certain level of power, and your soul cultivation should also have a certain level of level. And general mind reading techniques must be based on two foundations. First, the caster's mana must be higher than the caster, and you are satisfied with this point, because angels must be stronger than you. Second, the caster must be in a relaxed mood and have no vigilance in his heart. In such an unsuspecting situation, it is easier to see through the mind... The caster can complete the mind reading techniques more easily, and the difficulty is greatly reduced."

"Then you mean... the so-called ritual is just a cover... it is just to let us put aside our inner vigilance, relax our mood, and maintain respect, so that the angels can use mind reading techniques to us more easily? To distinguish our loyalty?"

Xiao Lei smiled and said, "It's probably that... In addition, a solemn ceremony can also increase the mystery of religion, and it will be twice the result with half the effort!"

Ye Buqun was silent for a moment and sighed: "So that's it... what you said makes sense."

As for the blood melted by the cup or burned out flames... this kind of trick can be made out with spells, but it is just a means to add some religious mystery.
