"Please wait a moment, both of you." The marquess's deacon, Adil, was responsible for managing all kinds of affairs. So, no matter what happened, he wouldn't remain silent like the other servants. Especially when there was a very important piece of information that needed to be confirmed. "You just mentioned that the invaders last night were the True Ancestor of vampires, Hubert Berger, and his clan. Are you sure? "
"Yes, didn't you just say that Hubert wasn't the True Ancestor's Hubert?" The blonde girl tried to clarify.
"No, that's fine. Anyway, it was the vampires of that clan who invaded and were repelled by the two of you. Is that correct? "
"Yes, they weren't repelled. They're all dead. Unless some of them didn't come in the first place. But as long as they came, they couldn't escape, "Halloumi corrected again.
"All dead? Are you sure?" Adil asked cautiously.
"At least we didn't sweep for fake ones after cleaning for most of the night," Halloumi mumbled.
"Miss, this is very important, so I have to confirm that they're really dead?" Adil asked seriously.
"No, they're all fine. I was lying just now. So, from today onwards, please live in fear, because they'll come back for revenge at any time. Of course, the best situation would be to leave this house. After all, you weren't the target from the beginning. Why lose your lives for a dispute that doesn't belong to you? "
Halloumi, who was already impatient, directly said sarcastically. It was just that these contradictory words, of course, made Adil feel confused and angry. He turned to look at someone who was watching the show and said unhappily, "Mr. Cuipwood, perhaps you should teach your apprentice better. Mages need etiquette."
When the onlookers were suddenly called out, Lin's eyes widened as if they were about to explode. Lin swallowed the bread in his hand and sucked his fingers without caring about his image. He said, "If you don't want to believe what we say from the beginning, then we can only say what you want to hear and end this meaningless questioning as soon as possible. Isn't that right?"
"Sir, think about your identity," Adil said sternly.
Lin said casually, "A status that has no obligation to answer any of your questions. Is that what you want to emphasize?"
Over the past few days, a certain someone's easygoing attitude and lack of temper would be ridiculed by his own apprentices at any time. In the eyes of outsiders, this kind of weak personality caused him to be completely looked down upon by others. Especially the servants from Grand Duke Carvey's family.
Having stayed in such a large clan, their eyesight had long been tempered, and they knew how to distinguish who they could provoke and who they could not. This was also the reason why Adil dared to be so presumptuous today. However, he did not expect to be rebuffed.
Just as he was about to argue, Hallumi nudged Marchioness Barran and said, "Your steward isn't very clever. Do you want to ask your grandfather to exchange for another one? Otherwise, I don't think he would have lived for long. Maybe in a few days, they will be slaughtered by my teacher just like those women. Now that he's turned hostile without any warning, I feel that it's troublesome. How did this man become so troublesome? "
Faced with Hallumi's attempt to get closer to her, Marchioness Barran did not respond. She just raised her head, glanced at the deacon sent by her grandfather, and then buried her head in her breakfast, ignoring the others.
Hallumi did not take this attitude to be disrespectful, and just shook her head helplessly, saying, "Ah, so cold."
The aristocratic deacon Adil, who originally wanted to argue even if it was unreasonable, suddenly recalled the deeds of this Wizard. Let's not think about the bizarre part. Many of the Black Veil Army originally guarding Marchioness Barran died at the hands of this Wizard.
He even dared to lay his hands on those women with noble bloodlines. It was hard to imagine that a servant in the eyes of others would cause this Wizard to have any misgivings. Even if he was really an aristocrat, even if he was only a junior aristocrat and a vassal of Grand Duke Carvey, the deacon of the Grand Duke's family had a corresponding title. But Adil did not think that this status could suppress a Wizard who dared to kill the daughter of an aristocrat.
Thinking of this, Adil recalled his previous attitude and could not help but break out in a cold sweat. Everything that he wanted to say, he either could not say it, or he forgot it.
Instead, it was Lin who asked his apprentice with a strange expression. "Have I really been so emotionally unstable recently?"
Hallumi nodded vigorously, saying, "It's weird."
Kaya also nodded, saying, "It's weird."
Baffled, Marchioness Barran also nodded, saying, "It's weird."
Blame my ass! What's the meaning of that guy who ran over to arrange flowers? Is he familiar with you?
But he asked this because a certain someone was more or less self-aware. Since the Black Tortoise Robe incident, when he used Cassette Cutting to cut down his chuunibyou avatar in the Dream Tower, he really stopped appearing. Now, only the fat otaku avatar and Cassette Cutting were left chatting next to the Dream Tower.
As for the changes that happened to him, apart from the disappearance of his chuunibyou avatar, there was a change in his way of doing things. In retrospect, there were some decisions that he would not have made in the past. But at the moment, he did so without feeling that it was out of place. It was like when he was a student, he hated the heavens and the earth, abhorred evil, killed decisively, and never considered the consequences of his actions.
So, when the sword cut him, did his chuunibyou avatar really disappear, or did it return to him?
Just as a certain someone was vexed with unanswered questions, Leonardo, who had also been busy all night, looked at his teacher with admiration and asked, "Teacher, have you mastered the divine power of sunlight? That's why you can easily defeat vampires, this evil that only exists in the dark. Jesus above. "The boy drew a cross in front of his chest.
Although it was a very pleasant thing to be worshipped by his own apprentice, he still had to clarify what was right and what was wrong. If this boy called him the Sun God or something like that, he would be chased by Fen with a knife. Fen would kill the old gods whenever he saw them, showing no mercy.
"Leo, we must have the spirit of science and seek truth from facts. Don't push all unexplainable things to the divine or mysterious. Vampires are afraid of sunlight, this is a phenomenon. What is the reason behind this phenomenon? Can we control this phenomenon after we find out the reason? Sunlight, moonlight, fire, candlelight, fluorescence, and so on. There are so many kinds of light. What is the difference between them? If we can find this difference, then is there a way to artificially recreate a certain kind of light? If we understand this, then vampires are nothing to be afraid of. "
At first glance, it sounded very simple and easy to understand … but who could do it?! Everyone who was listening by the side shouted in their hearts.
Although Leonardo did not like to use magic, he liked all the answers that could answer the question "why?" So, he continued to ask, "Teacher, what you mean is that it is not the divine power of sunlight that can defeat the darkness of vampires, but some kind of material that makes up sunlight can destroy the body of vampires. Is that so? "
Lin smiled with satisfaction, "You've understood it more or less. You understand it faster than your two senior sisters." Unknowingly, Lin took a step closer to Flonros. The two girls' eyes almost pierced through the young man's back. Leonardo was sweating profusely. But he did not realize it and continued to speak.
"Being reborn as a vampire from a human group can already be considered a transcendent race, but they are different from those true powerhouses. These people sought to surpass the level of primitive life forms, and each of them walked their own path. Therefore, each Extraordinaire was unique. But in order to easily reach that level, vampires use a special method to pass on their inheritance, which is the Embrace Ritual. They are like inferior supernatural clones. While possessing unparalleled recovery abilities, bodily functions, and the Affinity Authority trait, the trait of being afraid of sunlight is like a maggot attached to a bone, unavoidable. "
Lin Sanjiu did not care if there was an audience at all. He continued, "As for why there is such a result, according to the inference made by my research institute. Because vampires cannot be born naturally. They can only be born through rituals. And such rituals, in my eyes, are more like a contagious disease than magic. And the symptoms of infection are different for everyone. That is why there are unconscious blood slaves and vampires with normal human intelligence. Since it can be seen as a disease, of course, we have to find the source of this disease. — "
Lin Sanjiu used the Whiteboard Technique to show a strange thing in the air. Most people did not know, but Fen knew it was some kind of biological virus.
"— This is what I found. The culprit that causes normal humans to mutate into vampires. I named it the Blood-Devouring Virus. They add a special DNA fragment to the existing human genetic sequence to obtain all kinds of supernatural powers. But this connection will be interrupted by a certain wavelength of visible light energy. It is like a lock meeting the right key, and it will open. And this special visible light just happened to be included in the composition of sunlight, so it led to the result that vampires were restrained by sunlight. If this series of coincidences can be seen as the malice of a certain god. Then, I think it makes sense that vampires are cursed. "
There were not many people who could understand what she was saying. Even Leonardo, who asked the question, did not understand what she was saying. However, in the ears of an expert like Fen, it was deafening, especially since she had been busy with DNA coding work recently. Since it was related to her work, of course she was concerned and asked, "Why did this happen? Do you have an answer? "
Lin Sanjiu did not notice Lich's ugly expression at all. She only cared about herself and said, "I don't know much about biology. But if you look at it from the perspective of programming language, I think the logic should be similar. Every piece of code that works normally and does not have any errors can be put together. There is a possibility of error that was not considered in the original plan. It was the same even in life. Multiple correct decisions and outcomes might not necessarily lead to a happy ending under the interaction. It is because of the lack of consideration from a higher perspective that the vampires inherited individual advantages, but also inherited disasters. "
