Chapter 703 Visit Moonlight City
In the hotel, Leo freshened up a little, then picked up the information collected by Sylvia and looked through it carefully.
Sylvia knew very well what Leo wanted to know. The information collected focused on recording the grudges and grudges between the werewolves and vampires, and also recorded the situation inside the Visvi Forest, and of course the area within Yasha County.
of monuments, including the foundation of White Swan Castle.
The information about White Swan Castle all comes from the Lost News Society, and this information contains extremely detailed research on the foundation of White Swan Castle, and the earliest research report was from the initial period of the construction of White Swan Castle. At that time, the Lost News Society
It has not appeared yet. It was written by an antiquities scholar from the Kingdom of Maris.
From the above content, it can be seen that the vampires also discovered the unusualness of this foundation and were worried that there was something weird in it. They were originally planning to abandon the construction of White Swan Castle. After all, there are countless evil methods in the world. Who can do it?
I'm sure no one has tampered with this weird foundation.
However, Silver Moon Lake had just disappeared not long ago, and the surrounding land was still semi-swampy. Except for the foundation of this ancient ruins and its surrounding area, there was no suitable place to build a castle here.
Therefore, the vampires at that time specially recruited the most famous antiquities scholars and masons from the Kingdom of Maris, the Kingdom of Dialiat, and those large and small city-state kingdoms to study this foundation.
According to the description of the author of this information, at that time, there was no research on what the purpose of this foundation was or who built it. The only thing that can be determined is that this foundation and the stone materials that the vampires planned to use to build White Swan Castle were
The same type, and contains an unknown power.
This power does not make people strong, nor does it cause harm to people. After repeated research, some people found that its only effect is to reduce the vampire's blood addiction.
Just like their name, vampires are extremely dependent on blood. They need to suck some fresh blood almost every once in a while. Otherwise, their life characteristics will gradually weaken and various functions will slow down. Eventually,
Falling into a state similar to hibernation.
In this state, vampires can survive for a long time until fresh blood falls on their bodies and is absorbed before they can wake up from hibernation.
Although sucking blood can solve the problem of slowed down body functions, if you suck blood for a long time, it will produce a psychological disease called blood addiction. Vampires will become more and more bloodthirsty, and their sanity will quickly disappear.
, and eventually turned into a bloodthirsty monster.
Therefore, the vampires have been using various methods to suppress blood addiction, such as drugs, beliefs, etc., but the effect is not very good. Now that there is a power that can weaken the blood addiction, the vampires will naturally not give up this trend.
Power, even if the details of this power have not yet been clearly studied.
In the end, the vampires built White Swan Castle on this foundation before they could figure out the details of the foundation.
Although the condition of the foundation was not clear at that time, and no abnormality occurred after the White Swan Castle was built, the development of the vampire clan became smoother due to the weakening of the blood addiction, but the vampire clan did not study the details of the foundation for this reason.
Leave everything behind.
They have always invited some people to study this foundation, including many great scholars whose names have gone down in history, and even the Tower Wizard who has come here to study this foundation. It is this Tower Wizard who
After arriving, it was confirmed that this foundation was not the wizard's tower from the tower wizard at all, but the same foundation was the foundation of a wizard's tower.
Scholars from the Strange Society were naturally invited, just like Yilan who Leo met in the car. Their research was more inclined to the patterns on the walls of the basement inside the foundation.
According to the description, the patterns are disorderly and chaotic, as if they were the random graffiti of some children. However, some of the patterns can be transformed into Maris script after being reorganized, and the converted Maris script has a clear meaning. This meaning
It's the tallest tower.
After seeing the information here, Leo was also surprised by this name, because this name naturally reminded Leo of the top ten chiefs of the Silver Moon City Wizards Association, among which the tower of the first chief was called No. 1.
High Tower, he still remembered that the First High Tower was mainly dedicated to the study of ancient witchcraft, and ancient witchcraft seemed to be the witchcraft of the tower wizards.
After reading the information here, Leo also became interested in the foundation of White Swan Castle.
The next day, Robert sent an invitation to attend the auction, but this invitation was not needed because Sylvia had already prepared his invitation.
On the contrary, Leo was a little surprised by the invitation letter from White Swan Castle. He thought that even if Yilan mentioned him to the owner of White Swan Castle, the vampires would have to investigate him repeatedly to make sure that he would not do anything to White Swan Castle.
After causing some damage and not harboring any ill will towards the vampires, the invitation letter will be sent over.
Unexpectedly, just one night, or maybe even just one morning, the vampires have already made a decision. If the vampires are not already so open-minded that they will not doubt others, then it means that the vampires may encounter really difficult problems.
That's why he went to see a doctor in a hurry. He not only invited a scholar like Yilan who only had a library status and was not particularly famous, but also invited a stranger like Leo who came with unknown intentions.
However, for Leo, no matter what was going on inside the White Swan Castle, it had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to study the foundation.
The auction will be held in two days, and the time on the invitation letter from White Swan Castle is one day after the auction. It can be seen that the vampire family attaches great importance to the auction held in Moonlight City.
One night had allowed Leo to read all the information prepared by Sylvia, and with nothing to do, he wandered alone on the streets of Moonlight City.
It has to be said that the Vampires manage this city very well, with spacious and clean streets, plants on both sides, sidewalks specially prepared for pedestrians, neat and beautiful houses, and orderly carriage driving rules, making the entire city
Its civilization level is much higher than that of other cities.
In addition, the residents in the city seem to be very happy. They have no idea that the city they live in is full of all kinds of aliens. Unless those aliens can maintain their human form, during the day, under the ban of the vampires, they can only
You can stay in your own house or in the sewer.
The Kingdom of Maris has a very special obsession with sewers. Even an ordinary small town will build a spacious and complete set of sewers. In a big city like Moonlight City, the sewers are more like an underground city.
, while Leo was walking on the ground, the spiritual network also penetrated underneath, sensed the situation of the sewer, and figured out the route of the sewer.
In the sewers, in addition to those dependents who have completely mutated and are far from human appearance, there are also cultists, wanted extraordinary beings, etc. However, the largest number of people living here are actually the young newborn vampires.
And those animalistic vampires imprisoned because of blood addiction.
The strength of the newborn vampire's body is not yet perfect, and the mutation of the internal organs has not been completely completed. Under the sunlight, the body will rapidly fail and eventually die. Only adult vampires can withstand the sun's rays, although they will still feel very uncomfortable.
, but it is no longer enough to cause harm to them. The older the vampires are, the less negative impact the sunlight will have on them, and they will eventually lose their lease completely.
However, in order to prevent accidents to the new vampires and to prevent the new vampires from losing control due to sucking blood, these new vampires will stay in the sewers of Moonlight City until they reach adulthood.
Although they are both sewers, the sewer that discharges sewage is at the bottom, about twenty meters above the ground. The sewer above is a small city, which can support the life of any alien who is not suitable for appearing in the sun. You can tell from some traces
Look, there used to be many people living here, and these people should all be aliens from the Westway Forest. However, now these people seem to have been driven away by the vampires, so the sewers look empty and deserted.
In addition, there are a large number of blood therapy clinics in this city. People here also believe in bloodletting therapy. It is not difficult to hear from some conversations that they believe that bloodletting regularly every month can make themselves younger, so
These blood therapy clinics can see many people waiting for bloodletting every day.
When Leo saw these blood therapy clinics, he didn't need to think too much. He knew very well that the role of these blood therapy clinics was to provide fresh blood to the vampires in Yasha County. They only belonged to those bloodletters who said that after the bloodletting, the whole person became different.
To put it lightly, it should be caused by certain drugs. This is just to create the illusion that regular bloodletting every month will be healthy.
Although he has seen through the intentions of the vampires, Leo does not have that much sense of justice to expose them. In fact, even the Orthodox Church will not expose this matter. In addition to the power that the vampires have in Yasha County,
It's more because it's better to keep the civilians in the dark.
Although the civilians living here donated some blood every month under the influence of lies, with the blood they donated, they were able to live in this land very safely, not only with stable jobs.
Income, and will not be involved in any wars for no reason. You must know that there has been no war in Yasha County for hundreds of years. It is said by some ordinary people in the Kingdom of Maris to be a place of eternal peace.
The place where people from other counties in the Kingdom of Reis most want to immigrate.
There are many interesting places in Moonlight City, but Leo is not interested in those places. The only thing he is interested in is the Museum of Ancient Species in Moonlight City.
It is said that when Moonlight City was being built, a large number of animal bones were dug out from the mud at the bottom of Silver Moon Lake at that time, and most of the bones were very weird and completely different from any existing species in the world of Velen.
White Swan Castle had people collect these bones, and then invited many paleontologists from the medical school to restore these bones, and finally restored these bones to what they looked like in life, and these restored animals were all extremely weird.
, the growth pattern is completely contrary to common sense, and for a long time the paleontologists responsible for repairing the skeleton have wondered whether their inferences were wrong.
The Vampires thought that these bones were those of some mutated family members, but after careful comparison, they found that this was not the case. These bones grew naturally and were not caused by mutations.
Because there are more and more restored monsters, it is troublesome to maintain them together and takes up more space, so White Swan Castle simply built a paleontology museum in Moonlight City, naming these naturally growing monsters as the ones that have disappeared.
Ancient creatures.
As time went by, the reputation of the Museum of Paleontology spread among the scholars who returned to medical school, and began to spread throughout the Velen Continent, attracting a large number of people to visit here. Moonlight City also gained some benefits from this.
Even the vampires have benefited a lot from it.
Therefore, the Vampires decided to expand the Museum of Paleontology and acquire fossils or bones of various creatures from the Dark World and the nearby Westway Forest. Therefore, the name of the museum was changed from Paleontology to Paleospecies.
Leo had already known about this museum of ancient species when he was in Miria, but at that time he just thought that the so-called inhuman and twisted monster skeletons were just because the locals were rare and strange. In the black forest, they were called monsters.
There should be many more creatures.
But now Leo doesn't think so. He has some doubts that the so-called ancient creatures in the mud at the bottom of Silver Moon Lake are actually fog monsters in the fog world, or even abyss creatures, because in almost all the books that mention these skeletons,
They all invariably use the word distortion, which seems to be the most suitable word to use on those disorderly and chaotic monsters in the abyss.
In a state of speculation, Leo walked into the Museum of Ancient Species located in the center of Moonlight City.
This museum is very large, almost three times the size of White Swan Castle. It is divided into four halls and a square. Walk straight from the square and enter the main hall, where the skeletons excavated from Silver Moon Lake are stored.
The restored monster skeleton model.
Because it is not a holiday, there are not many people here. When you walk into the museum, you can clearly hear the echoing footsteps. The first thing that catches your eye is a huge spherical skeleton that is almost twenty meters high. This skeleton is also among all the skeletons.
The largest one is also the most peculiar one.
This skeleton grows in all directions like some kind of vine tree, overlapping and merging with each other. When it reaches the outermost part, it forms an almost perfect ball of bones.
As a treasure of the museum, everyone who comes here will stop under this skeleton for a long time. Many people are talking about what the skeleton looked like in life, but Leo was stunned when he first saw this skeleton.
