Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 247 12. The Story of the Blade

Merlin didn't expect that there would be unexpected surprises when he came to visit the old hunter Whistler this time.

Although he had already known from the Magic Congress that the legendary White Wolf of the Demon Hunter was most likely still alive, the news he heard from the old hunter this time really confirmed Merlin's guess.

The legendary witcher White Wolf who was active in the early Middle Ages is not dead at all!

He's been hiding under the surface of the world in a kind of fake-death stealth, but it's also raising new questions.

According to Elsa's family inheritance, the longest-lived witcher in history has only lived for 300 years, which is already beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But the white wolf...

If he is indeed alive, he would be over 1000 years old by now.

How did he do it?

Could it be that he has really broken through the physical limit of a demon hunter?

However, according to the old Whistler, his daughter Albert also encountered the white wolf under extremely unexpected circumstances.After the latter gave Albert a bottle of breakthrough potion and some training methods from the cat school, he left again.

In other words, even Albert himself must not be able to find the whereabouts of the white wolf.

The legendary witcher obviously didn't want others to know of his existence...but White Wolf spent his whole life in Eastern Europe, why would he suddenly appear in North America after hundreds of years of cheating his death?

These questions can't be answered, at least for now, Merlin and Elsa can't find the answer at all.

However, what needs to be done right now must be done.

After realizing that the half-vampire Dickon was already looking for the Temple of Eternal Night, the old Whistler immediately began to help translate those broken texts, trying to find out where the mysterious "Blood God" inheritance came from in the shortest possible time. A legendary vampire.

This is a job that requires extremely high professionalism. With the cooperation of Elsa and Whistler, the translation work is also very difficult.

As for Merlin and Blade, they couldn't help at all.

Therefore, while the old man and Miss Bloodstone were translating the text, Merlin and Dao Feng also wandered away from the place full of various materials.

"Your name is Eric, too?"

While walking in the labyrinth-like factory, Merlin said to the silent blade beside him:

"What a coincidence."

"also?"

Blade looked at Merlin, he waited for Merlin's explanation.

"My adopted son..."

Merlin says:

"His name is Eric."

"It's not a coincidence."

Dao Feng said calmly:

"There are hundreds of millions of people living on this land, and it's too common to have the same name."

"Ok."

Merlin nodded, what Dao Feng said was quite reasonable, and he couldn't refute it.

A moment later, when the two were about to leave the workshop, Merlin asked again:

"You always wear sunglasses, are you hiding your eyes?"

"Do not."

Blade replied briefly:

"I'm a half-vampire, and I belong to a monster. Mutation potions can't change my eyes...I wear sunglasses, but I don't really like direct light, that's all."

"Then what have you lost?"

Merlin asked:

"I mean, what mood did the mutagen take away from you?"

The question silenced Blade for a moment, and after a few seconds he said:

"hapiness."

"Then you are really miserable."

Merlin says:

"A life that doesn't feel happy must be too gloomy to imagine."

"It's actually not that bad."

Blade walked to his workbench, where a crucible was burning, and in the crucible was a molten silver ingot.In front of the workbench, there were several sets of bullet molds of various sizes.

Obviously, this vampire hunter is making his own hunting weapon.

He stretched out his hand, sensing the temperature of the crucible, and said to Merlin without looking back:

"I'll replace happiness with contentment."

"Every time, since I was a kid, following Whistler, watching those vampires fall and burn to ashes, I feel fulfilled ... that should be a joy, and a A long-lasting, unfading pleasure. Come, give me a hand."

Dao Feng picked up the crucible with pliers, and Merlin stepped forward to arrange several molds neatly.

He watched Dao Feng deftly pour the melted holy silver into the molds, and he also noticed that there were special raised lines on the inside of the several molds of Dao Feng.

That should be a simplified version of the Demon Hunting Rune.

"It's a good thing."

Merlin looked at these exquisite molds that had been used many times.The holy silver bullets made with these things, in addition to the killing damage of the vampires by the holy silver itself, will also have secondary killing effects from the demon hunting runes.

However, due to the direct casting of molds, it is impossible to provide complex rune arrangements. These simplified versions of demon hunting runes are also limited in their ability to cause secondary damage to high-level vampires.

But that's exactly what SDOLD needs right now.

Merlin didn't immediately ask for this kind of mold. He is not familiar with Daofeng at present. Such a request is too presumptuous, and there is a high chance that he will be rejected directly.

This guy, Dao Feng, doesn't look like the kind of guy who would talk nonsense with other people.

Definitely typical of people who don't talk too much.

"That's what Whistler did."

Blade said:

"The production process is very cumbersome. The old man has a lot of whimsical ideas. If he hadn't been a witcher, he would most likely have become an inventor of his time, and perhaps an outstanding businessman."

"what about this?"

Merlin put down the mold and picked up another weapon he hadn't seen before from Blade's workbench.

It was a long silver dagger that looked very similar to a fighting knife.But Merlin can feel that this thing is hollow, and there are other things between the thick blade and the handle.

He held the handle of the knife, and when he flipped his wrist, accompanied by the friction sound of the thin chain, the sharp flat blade was thrown out like a flying knife. 5 meters away from the wall.

"It turned out to be a chain sword."

Merlin's wrist exerted strength again, and with a sound of metal friction, the chain sword that had been pierced into the wall was drawn back again.

This thing is very ingenious, with an assassination throwing weapon, but it requires great skill to use it well. For SDOLD agents, such a weapon seems too delicate.

It's surprisingly destructive in close quarters, but too difficult to use.

Merlin put the chain sword back on the table, and picked up another curved knife. This knife was shaped like a crescent moon, which looked a bit weird.

"This is dangerous."

Seeing that Merlin was about to throw the knife out, Blade immediately stopped it:

"Don't play casually."

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Merlin found a mechanism on the handle of the knife, and as he flicked his fingers, the other half of the crescent-shaped flying knife quickly popped out, making it an S-shaped double-edged flying knife with excellent balance.

Merlin's finger slid on the blade, and he could imagine how terrible damage it would cause to the vampires around the user in a 360° crazy circle after it was thrown.

"These little gadgets don't look like they would be used by bear school demon hunters."

Merlin put the Storm Flying Knife in his hand on the table, looked at the dazzling array of gadgets in front of him, and said:

"It's like those snakes playing with traps."

"I'm not an orthodox witcher."

Daofeng picked up his silver straight-edged sword, wiped it, and said:

"As long as it can kill vampires, I will use any weapon... Garlic essence, silver nitrate, silver nails, ultraviolet light, some special chemicals, everything can be used to hunt, can't it?"

"Why do you hate vampires so much?"

Merlin leaned aside, watching the blade wipe the long sword, he said:

"There must be a reason for that. Was it because those vampires bit you?"

"I didn't become a vampire by being bitten."

The action of wiping the blade stopped, he looked at Merlin, and he said:

"I don't believe you don't feel that, you're a wizard. So, what you really want to ask is my identity, my past, right?"

"It's not a good habit to always speak so bluntly."

Merlin flicked his fingers, neither admitting nor denying.

Facing his attitude, Blade didn't care much, this special half-vampire said:

"It's not my choice to become a vampire, Merlin."

"Oh? It sounds like something hidden."

Merlin stretched out his hand and touched the molds. After confirming that the holy silver had been formed, he waved his hand, and the distorted gravity, like an invisible hand, lifted the heavy molds and placed them on the ground. into the cold water next to the bench.

"I've heard a good story today, may I have a chance to hear another one?"

Accompanied by the creaking sound and rising water vapor, during Merlin's inquiry, Blade said:

"I was born in 1967, which was a very bad time for black people. My mother was still working when she was pregnant, and when she was about to give birth to me, she was bitten by a vampire at her work. She She was a very traditional and strong woman, and after she took her last breath and left me, she died."

"And the impure blood flowed into my body through the umbilical cord, turning me into a monster from birth. If I hadn't met Whistler, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live past the age of 13..."

"At that time, I wandered on the street and escaped from several orphanages in a row. I thought I was sick. I wanted to bite people and taste blood."

Listening to Dao Feng's storytelling is actually quite boring. This guy can tell a wonderful story in a flat and straightforward tone.

But Merlin didn't care about the story itself, what he was curious about was the ability of this special vampire, Blade.

"Whistler, who happened to be passing by that street, noticed my anomaly. He drew out his sword, intending to kill me, but he let me go in the end."

Blade paused, and said calmly:

"In order to prevent me from being controlled by blood-sucking instincts, Whistler gave me a mutagen... I have to thank the old man. Although I lost some things, I survived after all."

Dao Feng put his holy silver long sword in front of his eyes, and with the flip of his wrist, there came a whistling sound of breaking wind.

In the reflection of the blade, Blade saw his face, and he said:

"I'm a human, a human with vampire blood flowing in my body, a demon hunter whose mission is to hunt vampires. This is my past, do you have any questions?"

"I heard those vampires called you the Sunwalker."

Merlin looked at the sunset light outside the workshop, he said:

"It's not just a nickname, is it?"

"Sunlight, which is deadly to vampires, means nothing to me."

Dao Feng inserted his holy silver long sword back into the scabbard, and he said:

"My resistance to ultraviolet rays is no different from that of ordinary people. I don't need to wear sunscreen or wear a helmet when I go out. Most importantly, although the desire to draw blood is rolling in my heart, I can suppress it."

"You... have you never sucked blood?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes and asked his last question, he said:

"Vampires feed on blood, and blood is the source of their power. You are also a vampire, but you have never used the power that belongs to a vampire...but the more you suppress it, the moment it explodes, the destructive power will be The more terrifying. Have you ever thought, Blade, how strong you will be one day, when your lips are stained with blood, when the vampire power in your body is activated?"

Merlin emphasized his tone, and he said:

"I mean, in the face of this possible crisis, don't you have any precautions?"

"it!"

Blade pointed to the holy silver long sword in front of him, and he said:

"It's my defense. It's what I use to take my life when I can't control myself."

"I... will never allow myself to become a monster!"

"What if you need it?"

Merlin sighed, recalling his current situation, he said softly:

"I guess, you must have never encountered the kind of situation where you can only survive and defeat the enemy if you take the initiative to become a monster... Believe me, Eric, as someone who has experienced it, I suggest you, Better to do a second plan."

Merlin said in a low tone:

"I mean, even if you are going to die, you have to see the enemy's real death before you say it."

"Gentlemen."

Just when Merlin finished speaking, Miss Bloodstone also yelled from the workshop with a hint of annoyance and anxiety:

"Come here quickly! Whistler and I have found the secret of the 'Blood God' inheritance."

"I dare to swear, you would never have guessed who left the original blood in that temple!"

"This time we're in big trouble."
