Chapter 269 (1/2)
December 31, 3522.
The tense city of Breaking Dawn has eased down quietly. This city, which has been running at a high speed since the beginning of spring this year, has ushered in a rare leisure time, because everyone is preparing for a grand festival - the dawn Festival.
This is a festival set by the great lord of Cachar, a day of heroes and the most glorious time for all the residents.
The mayor of Cachar stipulated that all residents would enjoy seven days' holiday during the break of dawn, and their salaries would be paid normally.
It's a fantastic treat.
Can I still get a salary on vacation? It's unbelievable.
On this day, countless residents and believers cried out for the greatness of cachal.
New residents, or those without regular jobs, also enjoy the break of dawn benefits, during which they can receive free city hall prisoners - 10 pounds of flour and 1 pound of meat a day.
This move immediately gathered a large number of people's hearts. Even the civilians who had just been plundered were much relieved. After all, such a lord is too rare. It is unimaginable for the outside world to actively distribute such rich food and welfare to the residents.
The old residents enjoyed the rare holiday, while the new residents took the surprise to get free food.
Everything was silent in the festive atmosphere.
A week in advance, the city hall has begun to decorate the dawn city with various kinds of festival decorations. The unique red snowflakes of the cold winter moon are strung into strings of flowers and hung on the streets. The clean streets swept overnight seem to be full of the breath of spring.
Colorful strips of cloth wrapped around the railings, under eaves, by windows, at street corners.
The color of the rainbow makes the atmosphere of the city even hotter.
Dawn square has long been the most bustling place. The city hall has offered a high price for temporary recruitment of singing and dancing teams among the residents. Every day after dusk, the square dances happily with various homemade musical instruments.
The quiet city of dawn seems to be ignited, and laughter is the main melody in the sky.
Dwarves who love wine, Goblins who love the excitement, the one eye who likes to watch the excitement, and even a small number of coolie orcs all participate in the carnival.
The distance between the old and the new residents of the city, and the distance between races, has quietly wiped out most of them in a parade around the city, drinking in a big gulp, singing and dancing together.
They have only one identity in this festival - residents of dawn City, revelers.
After sunset, huge bonfires on both sides of the square lit up the whole city, and the heat wave brought moving warmth in the cold winter.
Today, the atmosphere on the dawn square is even more popular, because three days ago, the city hall announced that this year, a group of new residents will be granted the status of Holy Light blood clan by the Lord of Cachar!
Shengguang blood clan! Goddess, this is the city's most dignified person.
Becoming a holy light blood clan can not only become a caster with strong power, but also gain eternal life.
Fear of death and yearning for eternal life are the nature of all life. How many people can refuse eternal life??
Fanaticism is the only attitude of the old residents to this, because they know that they will not lose themselves and become cruel and bloodthirsty monsters.
After becoming the Holy Light blood clan, they can still maintain their independent personality and self, which is why the residents are so eager to become the Holy Light blood clan.
Ordinary people will not immediately change greatly after becoming a blood clan. A cheerful blood descendant will not become silent in the blink of an eye. The influence of blood lineage on blood lineage is continuous and slow...
however, unlike the old residents, although the new residents are pacified by various policies of the city hall, they are very upset about the news.
Become a vampire?? Although immortality is tempting, it's a vampire after all.
What if it turns into a monster that kills people? Don't end up being found dead by other humans in a few days.
”Is that true? Elder horn, those who suck... Holy light blood really want to carry out evil and terrible conversion ceremony in front of everyone in the dawn city
Members of the lissel family huddled in a corner of dawn square, watching the revelry surrounding them. Instead of joining in, they watched the scene with hesitation.
The news that human beings will be transformed into blood clan is both frightening and frightening.
As a member of the rich lissel family, everyone here is well-educated and knows a lot of valuable and rare knowledge.
They naturally know what vampires are.
Cruelty, bloodlust, darkness, terror, all negative adjectives can not be used to describe each other too much.
Although there is a big difference between the current Shengguang blood clan and the legend, no one is sure whether it is the other party's disguise.Therefore, the more knowledgeable elites are, the more suspicious they are of the Holy Light blood clan. They are not ignorant civilians, and they can not be bought off by a few acres of land.
Horne, dressed in a white erudite robe and with a white beard, turned his head and looked at the young man of the lissel family who asked questions, and shook his head in disappointment in his eyes.
”Remember, young man, don't jump to conclusions when you don't know the truth.
Whether the practice of Shengguang blood clan is evil or good is not determined by the legend.
Only when you have experienced it yourself can you make your judgment. ”
”But... The other is a vampire?” The young man said in a low voice, ”elder horn, isn't the identity of a vampire enough to explain?”
”Vampire? Fool, have you ever seen evil vampires create such superior living conditions for human beings instead of harming them?
They are the blood of the holy light... Maybe they are different.
Pay more attention to observation and don't jump to conclusions.
The devil will show up in time, and the angel will not be vilified by rumors
Horn took a deep look at the young man and didn't say more.
Some of his ideas were overturned when he learned of the existence of dawn sect and went to dawn church to pray these two days.
He became more and more sure that the mysterious Lord of Cachar was really a God.
Because no vampire would allow such a bright sect to appear in his city. The doctrine inherited by dawn sect is to persuade people to be good and teach them to learn well.
Horn confirmed again and again that this was not an evil lie, nor was it a sect created to cover up some evil cult.
But it is a sect that can really feel the power of light. The holy power inside and the holy breath in every believer can't be fake.
As a great scholar, he still has this insight.
But because of this, horn felt that he might have come to a wonderful city.
Perhaps it was a God who had not been discovered by the glory plane, who came to the world under the cloak of blood clan, and practiced his own road of seeking knowledge and exploration in the thematic plane.
According to legend, the goddess of life once did something similar when she first mastered the sacred position of life. The great goddess incarnated herself as a mortal, experiencing birth, aging, death, and the true meaning of life.
The legend of gods coming into the world is not rare in the mouth of bards, and even a large number of ancient books have confirmed the authenticity of these deeds.
So Horne, a great scholar, has changed his attitude towards dawn city. After all, he may be a God who came to the world.
As for the other side's vampire body, that doesn't mean anything. When gods come to the main plane, they often choose extreme ways to experience.
Perhaps this great crown is to try to lead this evil race of vampires into a life yearning for light.
That makes sense.
There was a glimmer of wisdom in horn's eyes, and he seemed to be aware of the truth hidden in the darkness.
For this reason, he is proud that he fully deserves the noble title of ”Da Bo scholar”.
The lissel family did not dare to say that elder horn was their manager in the absence of the Lord of andebella.
What's more, the only person who can deal with the city's owners now is the great scholar appointed as the principal of the first school in dawn city.
At this time, it is not only the lissel family members who are curious about the imminent transformation of human beings into vampires, but also most of the civilians are watching with fear and can't help but want to see it.
Human transformation of vampire ceremony, which is extremely dark and terrible in the legend, did not expect that they will one day be able to witness this said scene.
”Is that true? Will the Holy Light blood clan really transform human beings into vampires? Will they also transform us into bloodthirsty creatures? ”
”Are those people forced?”
”It's so terrible. Why don't we go back first...”
”will there be a situation of vampires killing people in a hurry later”
”...”
most of the new residents are talking with each other in a panic and nervous manner, watching the blood clan patrolling the bat wings not far away and lowering their voice of consciousness.
And these remarks naturally spread to the ears of the old residents around them, and they were not happy to stare at these residents with fear one by one.
A gray haired resident yelled at two young people around him, ”fool, this is the Holy Light blood clan, not the vampire in your mouth!!
As the patron of the dawn City, the blood of the holy light will not harm any of us without breaking the law
Two young people do not accept, turned to look at the old man, ”how do you know they will not hurt people, you are not them!”The old man's face showed some indescribable pride, ”how do I know? Last year, I witnessed the great process of human evolution into the Holy Light blood clan.
In addition, my son participated in the hero selection competition last year. He stood out from thousands of people and was personally awarded as the Holy Light blood clan by the Lord of Cachar.
Do you think I know??
Young man, take a good look and see if the Holy Light blood clan is the evil in your mouth. ”
Hearing the old man's words, the two young people's expressions were stiff, and they felt very guilty at once, because the son of the other side turned out to be an adult of the Holy Light family.
They can't afford to offend, especially when they are just abusing and questioning each other.
”I'm sorry, we didn't mean to offend you...”
”old man, I'm sorry, please don't tell the Shengguang blood clan's adults... Or we will die...”
looking at the tense expression of the two people, the old man's face slightly eased down.
”There's no need for that. The Lord of Cachar said that we are all dawn people and family members. We should help each other and support each other instead of bullying others by our own identities.
After all, I doubt that you were normal a year ago.
But doubt or doubt, time will give you the truth, young man, take a good look.
One day, like me, you will use your life to defend the Lord of Cachar and our city. ”
After saying that, the old man took a deep look at the two young people and then stopped talking.
Not only the two young people, but the new residents around them had a subtle expression when they heard this.
Is this really the case??
Some people have doubts, some people want to refute, but looking at the old man's indifferent face, they can't say anything.
However, after this scene, the inner tension of the surrounding crowd was quietly relaxed a lot.
The old man had the son of the Holy Light family and was so friendly to other people, which touched both young people.
Quietly, the strangeness and estrangement with this city have disappeared.
Assimilation happens all the time. The old residents who have a firm belief in the dawn city will undoubtedly have a great impact on the people around them when they face these new residents.
