Chapter 53
In the face of such vampire nobles, the five-year-old girl can't raise the slightest idea of resistance. On the contrary, for the sake of her parents and relatives, and for her own sake, she has to do her best to complete this task.
With such a slightly melancholy mood, Li Lihua looked at Qiao Xiaoxuan in her sleep, with a complicated look in her eyes. As the culprit who brought her to this point, she is still a monster who wants to suck her blood. Don't say it's disgusting, even hatred is not too much. However, looking at Qiao Xiaoxuan, who is as cute as an angel, she can't hate it.
"...is it snowing?" After looking at it for a while, Li Lihua felt a little cold. Then she looked up and faintly saw the snowflakes rising outside the window. He immediately took a thicker quilt and covered Qiao Xiaoxuan. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she was timid and followed Qiao Yalin's appearance, bent down and gently kissed Qiao Xiaoxuan's face.
"Let me take good care of you, Master Qiao Xiaoxuan." After saying that, she went out again and asked the servants outside the door to bring dry wood and lit the fireplace in the room. The room suddenly warmed up...
The Tagosimogue Empire, 2314 years after the founding of the empire, that is, 234 - although it is politically opposed to each other. But nominally, Capriosimaea, which is part of the Tegosimogue Empire, also used such an era.
This year is the sixth year since Qiao Xiaoxuan was born. This child was born with the blessing of his peers and received a good education and raised child. Try to cover up your unusualness. It is no different from a normal child. Naive and lively, curious about everything, and polite. Vampires who have seen him can't help but fall in love with this little guy.
Of course, on the other hand, Qiao Xiaoxuan did not deliberately hide his talent in psionics. This may be what he showed, the only difference. Unconsciously released psionic energy, and arbitrary use of this power in the child's way. Such behavior naturally attracted the attention of his peers and relatives. Rumors such as "the young master of the Joe family is a genius" have also spread in Capricorn.
Qiao Xiaoxuan, whose soul is more than 50 years old, knows that instead of deliberately hiding something, it will eventually be exposed and the evolution is out of control. It's better to disclose some information in advance. Make people psychologically prepared. Only in this way can the danger be minimized.
At the beginning, Qiao Xiaoxuan was ready to suffer the jealousy of his fellow vampires. I even imagined some very bad things - such as someone who was jealous of his talent, or someone thought his identity was in the way. Want to remove him from something. He has designed some counter-attacks for this purpose.
But it turns out that Qiao Xiaoxuan's concerns are a little redundant. In Capricorn Fanmoia, no vampire has ever sent any form of malice to him. They only have good intentions towards Qiao Xiaoxuan. Complete goodwill. Whether they are members of the Joe family, relatives of distant relatives, or even vampires from other families, they have no feelings of dissatisfaction, fear, or jealousy. Instead, he is simply proud of him. I am delighted by the emergence of a new and outstanding figure in their ethnic group.
Qiao Xiaoxuan is not a child without discernment, as he can see. These people really like him. And Qiao Xiaoxuan also found that their relationship with each other is also very good. The whole vampire society is extremely united, respectful and loving each other.
Qiao Xiaoxuan also found that it is the most common starting point for vampires for the benefit of race. When they make major decisions. Always put the interests of the whole ethnic group first and the interests of other vampires second. And its own authority and interests. It's the last thing to consider.
The logic of their thinking is usually like this: a newborn? Good, we have added another ethnic group, and the population has expanded again - the health of newborns? Great, another strong warrior will join us and fight with us, and our ethnic group has strengthened again - the newborn has excellent talent? It can't be better. We will get a great warrior, a mage. Even a powerful leader. Maybe one day, he will lead us to achieve the goal of the eternal Lord and rule the whole world. What a cute little guy.
That's it, the vampires of the world - or according to them, these night relatives surprised Qiao Xiaoxuan. Compared with the values of these blood-sucking monsters, other races that cheat, fight for power and profit, draw knives for a little thing, and kill each other can die. Under the influence of this environment, Qiao Xiaoxuan also has a strong sense of identity with his race and country.
This noble race can't be better for Qiao Xiaoxuan, who was deceived and betrayed by his own people in his last life. My luck seems to be quite good. After reincarnation, the first thing I faced was not a dilapidated family, I did not become a loser, there were no malicious servants and unfaithful relatives, let alone an unknown fiancee kicked me. How lucky are you to be to be born in such a livable place?!
Caprisi Van Moya is located in the southeast of the mainland. It is a barren land with a smell of death everywhere. Whether it is property or harvest, it is very poor, and famine breaks out almost every year.
Here, newborns are abandoned, human trafficking and other things are common. Not to mention the large castles built by vampires, the dry and thin people, and the barren sandy land. It is the most common thing in Capricorn Vanmore.
Qiao Xiaoxuan felt strange. The vampire community of Capricorn Van Moya is very good. Both morality, character and ability are excellent. They are willing to die, willing to sacrifice and work hard. And he has excellent talent. But such a race does not occupy a dominant position in this world. Not only that, but also the opposite. Vampires can only live in a remote, barren and desolate land. What the hell is going on?
"Because we are vampires."
Once, Qiao Xiaoxuan couldn't help asking one of his elders this question. After hearing this, the elder was stunned for a while, and then said these words unwillingly. Such an answer made this arrogant nobleman very uncomfortable. And his inner pride does not allow him to output one more word.
However, for Qiao Xiaoxuan, these messages are enough. A little analysis can lead to the correct conclusion - vampire - alien - unpopular.
It is very obvious that in the eyes of ordinary people, the vampires who drive the dead and skeletons and suck human blood are the enemies of all living creatures. It's okay if you curl up in such a desolate country. Everyone just took it as if they didn't see it. But if the vampires summon up their courage to form a legion with their superb undead magic and plan to expand outward, the creatures - no matter what kind of hatred they had with each other before. At this moment, we will all form an alliance to fight against vampire aggression.
No living person wants to be ruled by a group of dead people. What's more, no one wants to be enslaved as a puppet after death. This is the biggest weakness of the vampire race. It is almost impossible to find allies. You can only rely on your own race to fight against the world.
Of course, after saying this, the elder continued unwillingly: "Although the current situation is a little difficult for the time being, the great night family members will never stay here forever. Once the time is right, we will go out, like the glorious history 4,000 years ago, 1,400 years ago, and 1,100 years ago, leading the strongest army in the world to sweep the whole continent. It must be like this!"
"Oh - sweep the whole continent!"
So, in order not to be suspicious, Qiao Xiaoxuan raised his hand as if he were really a child and repeated this sentence very excitedly - of course, he complained in his heart: This is not so much a glorious history as a bitter history. Anyway, thousands of years ago, it ended in failure. Is it really okay to educate children for this typical failure that has been repeated many times?
But it doesn't matter. Although this country is barren, as a nobleman, Qiao Xiaoxuan's life is still very good. At least he couldn't take a shower for half a year when he was wearing a spiritual armor. It's much better to eat a dog-like military meal at every meal. So he has nothing to complain about.
On this night, Qiao Xiaoxuan was bored. After reading a book for a while, he was ready to go to bed. When passing by his sister Qiao Yalin's room next door, he glanced at it. I found something wrong.
As usual, Qiao Yalin is working hard, and there is a magic circle drawn with crystal debris on the ground of the room. Qiao Xiaoxuan only saw this and felt something was wrong.
He walked into the room. To the sister who squatted on the ground and looked up at him strangely, he said, "That's wrong. The angle of the triangle should be 225, 275, 130."
"Huh? How is that possible? That's what the college teaches.
At first, Qiao Yalin was quite happy to see her brother come in and talk to her. But Qiao Xiaoxuan said that her magic array was wrong. Qiao Yalin was a little angry. Although people often praise his talent, Qiao Yalin herself has also seen Qiao Xiaoxuan with her own eyes and how well he fits the magic wind. Even before that, Qiao Xiaoxuan really pointed out the mistakes of the magic array she drew - but she was still unwilling.
"What a joke. He hasn't officially gone to the college yet. I'm a third-year senior student!" Thinking of this, Qiao Yalin was so angry that she didn't listen to Qiao Xiaoxuan's words. Insist on completing this magic array - and then with an explosion, thick smoke rolled, spending 25 gold coins to buy precious materials, and then "bang" into ashes.
"Really - damn it, damn it!" Seeing that the well-prepared experiment ended up like this. Especially in front of his younger brother. Qiao Yalin's little face turned red, and she stamped the ground fiercely while shouting like this.
And when she looked at Qiao Xiaoxuan and saw the proud expression of the dead kid's face, "I told you a long time ago", she was so angry that she ran over and picked Qiao Xiaoxuan up, hugged him, and rubbed him vigorously against his face. This is to punish her brother.
"It's so uncomfortable - fool - let go of me quickly -" Although it is said that with a little spiritual power - or what people in this world say about the magic wind, it can be said that his stupid sister bombarded. But that's a little too violent. It may also hurt Jo Yalin. Therefore, Qiao Xiaoxuan had to let his sister "punish".
If Qiao Xiaoxuan's knowledge could be more comprehensive and learn more about the use of non-lehal, magic wind, then he would not be so passive now. However, unfortunately, the former commissioned commissioned officer of the universe is a typical combat method for soldiers. In the face of alien insects, there is no need to capture prisoners or similar hands. Eight years of combat career made this guy fierce and didn't know how to restrain him.
If he is allowed to kill Qiao Yalin, then he has hundreds of ways to kill his little sister. But if you want him to use his spiritual power to get rid of Qiao Yalin and be unharmed... I'm sorry, the army instructor hasn't taught that kind of thing.
So, he can't use magic, and his physical strength is not as good as his six-year-old child. Qiao Xiaoxuan's resistance was completely ineffective. In this way, he was stunned by his sister with a completely undeveloped chest full of ribs. It was not until Qiao Yalin's negative emotions were basically eliminated that he was released. After that, he sat on the ground in frustration.
"What should I do... I don't have enough money to buy another experimental material..."
Although he came from a noble family and is in the whole range of Capricorn Vanamoa, it is also a rich Joe family. But the family members of the night guarded themselves rigorously. Nobles usually invest most of their money in more important things. Such as production, manufacturing and armaments. Of course, there is also bottomless magic research, as well as the purchase and reserve of casting materials.
And most of the remaining part is spent on decorating the facade and maintaining the dignity of the aristocracy - specifically, the purchase of clothes, the salaries of maids and servants, and the decoration and furniture of the castle.
The money really distributed to the vampire nobles is actually very small. It seems that a young lady like Qiao Yalin has only eight gold coins per month. A copy of 25 Jinlar's casting materials, but she saved money for several months and borrowed usury from Qiao Xiaoxuan to make it up. Originally, I wanted to get a good score in the final evaluation of the college. It's not good to get a scholarship. However, I didn't expect that the final result was like this...
Look at this pile of ashes. Qiao Yalin wanted to cry without tears. Finally, he secretly made up his mind: "When you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, just listen to Qiao Xiaoxuan a little." Of course, she has said similar things before, and more than once. But the result has not changed at all. It seems that this young lady should listen to the advice and learn a lesson. It's really a very difficult thing.
In this way, today's game time is over. Qiao Xiaoxuan returned to his room to sleep. Although Qiao Yalin is very unwilling. I want to do some other experiments and make some achievements to make up for the previous losses. But Qiao Xiaoxuan said, "Today is June 1st." After such a reminder, the young lady had to make up her mind.
June is the most chaotic and obscure month in the world. When the night shrouded, the mysterious star known as Morial, emitting an unknown red light, became the most conspicuous one in the sky. This red moon replaced its brother's blue Tonia. Hanging high in the dark sky.
Under its influence, the magic wind became extremely chaotic. It further affects more organisms. Those monsters who are naturally friendly to the magic wind become restless. Various spells have also become more powerful and more difficult to control.
In this situation, wise casters will temporarily restrain their arrogance and become cautious. Unless forced. Otherwise, you won't use magic. Even if you perform magic, try to choose some with less power and better control.
Of course, this is a rare opportunity for a real magician. Most of the experiments that are usually wanted to be made but cannot be carried out due to insufficient energy occur at this time. And you can imagine what the consequences will be if these experiments get out of control...
In June, restless monsters, out-of-control magic, and ominous red moon. These elements are superimposed, which makes ordinary creatures very scared. Although bigwigs, magicians and officials call this month the Crimson Moon, or the Magic Moon. But civilians are more used to calling it a disaster month.
On this day, Qiao Xiaoxuan is ready to take some action and take an adventure. Even to enhance your strength, it is also to adjust your slightly boring life. Although he is not a great magician. But to be honest, this young master, who is born with affinity with magic and his own magic reserve, has also reached a very considerable level. Regardless of skills, strength alone, is even large. Above the mage.
After several years of observation. He has preliminarily understood this month and the mystery of the red moon. As an excellent psychic, or according to the world, an excellent combat mage. Qiao Xiaoxuan knows how to control this storm. Just like those best sailors who know the tides, monsoons and ocean currents.
