Monarch of Evernight: 191 Deep in the Twilight

bsp;Leaving the secret realm was like passing through an invisible film of water. A primeval forest appeared in front of Ye Tong and Qianye, with towering mountains in the distance, and on the other side, the void could be seen. The sky is colorful and you can see the two continents drifting slowly.

Yeyetong looked at the two continents in the void carefully and said: "Those are the Crescent Continent of our blood clan and the Azir continent of the demon clan. Then the one we are in should be the Twilight Continent."

"Reno put his final hiding place in Twilight?" Qianye felt that if the Blue King wanted to save his life, then the Twilight Continent of the Vampire Tribe would have probably fallen, and placing the hiding place here would be the most inappropriate choice. .

Yeye Tong didn’t see it that way, and said, “This secret realm is so small, so it’s safer to leave it at Twilight. No one will search this area all over the place.”

The edge of the continent is truly desolate and dangerous. The population density of immortal species like the Blood Clan is lower than that of the Empire. They are basically inhabited by clans. The clan territories with inherited clans are all in the core areas. The newly created clans will occupy the sacred land in the Central Continent. Naturally, they will not Someone lives here.

Yetong and Qianye were still searching and moving forward at first, but then they simply let go of their speed and ran. After running for hundreds of kilometers, they saw a vampire castle in the distance.

The ancient castle is built on the mountain. It is not small in scale and should probably belong to the Marquis's castle. The castle was built near the top of the mountain, and the clusters of buildings were distributed according to the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a small city that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, surrounded by acres of farmland. In the area near the river, there are dozens of workshops, large and small.

This was the first time for Qianye to see the castle in the Vampire's home continent. It felt different from the underlying Yongye Continent and other mixed continents. He couldn't tell the details for a while and felt very curious.

Yeye Tong saw it and said: "Look, the style of the main building of the castle is obviously different from the surrounding ones. It is made of large pieces of natural rock, and the rock blocks have not been thoroughly polished. This is the architectural style of the vampires in ancient times. It shows that this castle was built very long ago, at least more than 1,500 years ago. The buildings below are different. They were all built with cut rocks. This construction technology was used after the Dawn Rebellion. It just started to become popular.”

"Dawn Rebellion?"

"Oh, it's what the Human Empire calls the Dawn War."

The Dawn War was the founding war of the empire. In the eyes of Yong Ye, especially the vampires, it was an out-and-out rebellion.

With Ye Tong's explanation, Qianye saw something different when he looked at the vampire's castle again. The main building of the castle is rough and heavy, with only narrow and long windows. This was in the early days, and it was obvious that the main building of the castle had more war purposes. You can imagine how uncomfortable it would be to live in it, let alone the vampires who like luxury and splendor.

The buildings below are much more exquisite and gorgeous. They are all made of cut rectangular rocks and have a lot of carvings. On the next floor, there are gorgeous buildings. Those tall and spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, it seems that they are not prepared for war.

The bottom of the castle is also some distance from the foot of the mountain. The city located on the plain below the mountain has various architectural styles, and there are large areas similar to slums.

Yeye Tong glanced at Qianye and said, "You are now a vampire."

"...I know."

The blood core is on the cover of the Black Book, and the heart is on the back cover. The affiliation is self-evident. And Qianye's original crystals have all been moved to his heart. From the inside out, his body is completely a vampire. The only part that belongs to the human race is the back cover of the Black Book.

Yetong sighed softly and said, "Are you still used to it?"

Qianye said calmly: "I was not used to it at first, but the body is just a body. What we are ultimately depends on what we do."

Yeye Tong looked at him and said, "Even now, do you still want to side with the Human Empire?"

This question made Qianye silent. He has been avoiding it, but since Ye Tong has asked, it means that he can no longer escape.

After thinking for a moment, Qianye said: "I don't understand why the empire suddenly wants to kill you at all costs?"

"Although I don't know the specific reasons, I can make some rough guesses. Everyone on the Holy Mountain of Parliament hopes for my return. Only when I come back can the door to the new world truly open."

Qianye was slightly stunned. He never knew that Nighteye was the key to opening the new world.

"There are still some people in the parliament who don't want me to appear. They don't know the connection between the new world and me, and maybe they don't care if they know it. The Holy Mountain is a place they can't touch in their lifetime, so for them For them, the hatred passed down from ancient times is the overriding thing. If you can't openly oppose the Holy Mountain, someone will leak my information to the empire. If you are the leader of the empire, will you watch me return to Yongye? ”

"But you have lived in the empire before, and you have no hatred for the human race."

"Hate? There is quite a lot. Have you forgotten how we got to a neutral place?"

Qianye sighed and said, "Just to eliminate a potential threat, are they going to do that?"

Having said that, Qianye understood in his heart that preventing the new world from opening and preventing another Dark Holy Mountain from appearing was enough for the empire.

"Of course they would do this, and more than once. Looking back on the king bullet in Cointreau's hand, I think he probably didn't know about it either."

"Cointreau's King Bomb?!" Qianye was surprised.

Yeye Tong then told the story of the battle with Zhao Jundu that day, and finally said: "Jundu is not a liar. Even on the battlefield, at least he would not lie to me. What about that King of Heaven bullet? Appearing in his gun, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask someone from the empire.”

Qianye’s face gradually became serious. He did not expect that Ye Tong had already been hit by a Heavenly King bullet once before, and it was shot by Zhao Jundu. This matter was not included in the reports he saw from any channel.

Qianye also discovered a problem from Ye Tong's words. Ye Tong showed no mercy to Song Zining. Now comparing the cause and effect, and listening to the various reasons Ye Tong said, Qianye naturally understood that the entanglement with Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan in the maelstrom was not without reason. The mastermind behind this should be Song Zining.

When thinking of Song Zining, Qianye seemed to see that gentle face and heard him say: "Qianye, leave her, she is no longer the Ye Tong she used to be, but you still have to live, you can't just live like this Perish. Believe me, I am really doing this for your own good. There are many good women in this world besides her."

Then it was Song Zining who closed his eyes and looked unconscious. Only when he was unconscious, he would tear off all the cool pretense of being a young man from a wealthy family, as if he had returned to the underworld era, a ruthless and lonely young man with only himself and his partner.

Qianye smiled bitterly, shook his head, and drove the image of Song Zining out of his mind. From Song Zining's perspective, maybe he is right. But from Ye Tong's perspective, Song Zining would be hated to the core.

After thinking for a long time, Qian Yefang sighed.

"Have you thought about it?" Nighteye asked.

"Yes."

"So, how do you decide?"

"As the saying goes, who we are depends on how we act. Brothers are brothers, and empires are empires."

Yetong breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and chuckled: "That's good, I thought you wanted to go back to work."

"Do I look that stupid?"

Yeye Tong said seriously: "It's not like it, it is!"

Qianye was so angry that he picked her up and feigned anger: "I haven't dealt with you properly since you woke up!"

Yetong's body softened and he leaned on Qianye, saying: "Well, there are many opportunities. What are your plans in the future?"

Qianye said: "Although I am a vampire now, it does not mean that I will agree with all the practices of the vampires. However, when I was in the land, I discovered that various races cannot actually coexist on the same land. Later, in There are many vampires in the Black Sun Valley who are willing to work for me, but not all vampires are willing to die to defend the tradition. I have also thought that I can try to change the parts that I don't agree with."

Yetong nodded, "That puts me at ease."

"I can't change anything now. After all, I'm just a duke. Even if I become a grand duke, I'm probably no match for the crowned prince. But when I get stronger, I will naturally be able to change more."

After hearing this, Ye Tong suddenly looked a little gloomy. Qianye was startled and asked what was wrong.

Yeye Tong forced a smile and said: "I'm thinking that if I hadn't been so willful and completed the awakening process as soon as possible, I should have ignited the mark by now, and at least I would be a crowned prince. Maybe, Renault will be fine. ."

Qianye patted her back gently and said: "Let the past be in the past. We must live well and avenge Renault in the future."

Yetong nodded, broke out of Qianye's arms, and said: "I will continue to tell you about the vampires."

In fact, most of the people living in the city below are not vampires, but various races that are considered inferior by vampires. Many of them exist as lambs that provide blood food on a regular basis. Among these lower races, the human race is naturally indispensable. The blood of the human race has long been proven to be the best delicacy of the vampire race.

Before the Dawn War, most of these lower races were coolies and slaves. The races headed by the human race that could provide blood were not even considered slaves. They were completely raised in captivity and were no different from livestock.

The practice of the lower-level vampires converting various races into blood slaves and using them as disposable cannon fodder has always been controversial. The demons have strong objections to this crazy beast created like a plague, while the werewolves and spider demons themselves have natural servants and have no position to oppose cannon fodder.

After the Dawn War, Taizu led the human race to rise and broke out of the Twilight Continent in one fell swoop, shocking the entire Eternal Night. Since then, the Vampires, from top to bottom, have begun to re-examine the potential of humans and found that raising humans as livestock is a waste.

Therefore, some of the more enlightened vampire clans began to try to give the humans some rights and freedoms, impart knowledge, and let them develop, farm, and build. As a price, the humans needed to provide a regular ration of blood and a fixed amount of flesh and blood.

The results of the attempt were quite astonishing. The human race burst out with astonishing vitality under extremely limited conditions. Cities were built out of thin air, and large amounts of wasteland were reclaimed. As the population surged, the supply of flesh and blood was no longer a problem.

In addition to cultivating farmland, the human race also began to develop mines and build workshops to provide raw materials and some simply processed components for the vampire workshops. Many people even got some positions to manage other inferior races.

This is the origin of the city in front of Qianye. However, the human race developed in this way is one of the vassal races of the blood race. Both their living habits and social form are fundamentally different from the residents of the Qin Empire and other human kingdoms.

The real vampires originally lived in the castle, and even now the superiors still adhere to this tradition. However, many of the descendants with mixed bloodlines have moved to the cities at the foot of the mountain for comfort and convenience. They often live in independent urban areas, separated from the lower races to show their distinction.

But in Qianye's view, this has already taken the form of mixed living.
