Chapter 3 Repertoire: The Origin of Vampires
A child is walking in ragged clothes on the street. Pedestrians on the road can't help but cast strange and surprised looks when they see him, but they don't mind their own business and just continue on their own way.
The surrounding architectural style is not modern, it is a bit medieval.
However, Wan Yi knew that the world created by the script would not be the same as the world in his impression, so he did not pay too much attention to it.
The sky was gray, with scattered snowflakes falling.
In winter, with this child's thin clothing, if things didn't turn around, he would probably die.
But the turning point soon arrived.
"Why is there a child here?" Several people came to the child, and one of them said in surprise. It was a very beautiful and dignified woman.
"He looks so pitiful. If we don't care about him, he will freeze to death," another woman said.
"Wandering around in the royal capital, could he be an illegitimate child abandoned by some noble family?" Someone had an idea.
At this moment, one of the black-haired women came out, stretched out her hand to gently touch the child's head, and smoothly uncovered a corner of the rag covering the child's body, revealing the child's face.
This child has burgundy hair. Although he looks very thin due to malnutrition, he seems to have a good foundation.
"Then let my family raise him." The woman said with a smile.
"Hey, Meili, is your family okay?"
"It's okay." The woman named Meili said gently to the child: "Come home with me."
The child's consciousness had long been blurred. At this time, being hugged like this, his somewhat relaxed spirit gradually fell into the darkness, and he lost consciousness on the spot.
A lonely child of unknown origin was helped by a kind-hearted person who seemed to be a noble family, and was taken home to be raised.
As a spectator, Wan Yi couldn't see anything for the time being.
It’s not even clear for a moment what the relationship between this world and the vampires used as script material is.
But in order to gather strength for his escape, he could be said to have read countless films and watched countless dramas, so he still had patience.
The child was brought home by Meili. After a good cleaning, she found that she was a very cute child.
It's just that this child of unknown origin is a bit dull. At first, he can only stare at Meili blankly and can't do anything else. It seems that if no one guides him to do something, he will stay in a daze like this.
It soon became known to the whole family that Meili had brought back a child.
Wan Yi quickly learned from the sidelines that the surname of this noble family was Fieldstone, and what was surprising was that no one had any objections to Meili adopting such a child.
Just looking at this child, everyone in the Fieldstone family would be inexplicably stunned.
This made Wan Yi notice something unusual.
This family may have something hidden.
But all this did not affect the child for the time being.
After everyone got to know him, the pictures started flowing.
The time flow rate of the world in the script is different from the world Wan Yi lives in. The theater seems to like to make some switching of plays based on this, just like a professional editor.
In the blink of an eye, several years passed.
The child has learned to read, but is still not very talkative and a bit dull. However, he has shown extraordinary talents in some learning activities.
In addition, as living conditions improved and nutrition kept up, he became more and more beautiful.
She is indeed beautiful. Although she is a boy, her fair skin and cute face are all admirable. Coupled with her burgundy curly hair, she has fascinated many noble daughters.
It's a pity that he has always been unkind to others, and he doesn't participate much in aristocratic-related social interactions. He has a strong sense of distance from people he doesn't know well.
"Red." On this day, Meili was calling the child's name and looking for him.
Finally, I saw a boy practicing with a one-handed sword in the backyard.
"Sister Meili, what's the matter?" Seeing Meili coming, Red stopped the sword in his hand and turned to look at the sister who had adopted him.
Although Rhett preferred to call Meili his mother at first, Meili was not that old, so at her request he still called her sister and brother.
"Wow, you're practicing swordplay again, so conscious." Meili sighed.
"Grandpa's request." Rhett said concisely.
"Grandpa is so fierce, but you are so obedient." Meili said with a smile, "The country has not been at war for many years. No matter how hard you practice, you can only play with those young masters, but you don't like playing with them, so what? Why do you practice so hard?"
"It's nothing, just interested." Rhett said calmly.
The Fieldstone family initially seemed to have made its fortune through meritorious service in the war, but over the years, the world was at peace, and many nobles who had made a fortune in the war had chosen to change careers.
Fieldstone was also one of such nobles, but he still had a grandfather who had experienced the war and was still practicing his skills. He was also a well-known master swordsman in the royal capital.
It's just that the sword has no use at all.
The old man really hoped that a child could inherit his skills. Originally, there was no child in the family who had such an intention, but unexpectedly a Rhett came along.
Although Rhett's talent is very good, the old man is obviously not the type of gentle education. The training method is quite harsh, but Rhett endured it.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Do you want to go to the market with your sister?"
"Yeah, okay." Rhett agreed without much hesitation.
He would mostly comply with Sister Mei Li's requests.
After all, without her, he would have frozen to death that winter.
After tidying up and putting on decent clothes, the two siblings were ready to go out.
But on the way out, they met an old man with gray hair and hideous scars on his face.
"Grandpa Kachis." The two siblings greeted him immediately.
"Want to go out to play?" The old man's beard twitched slightly, and his aura of calmness and self-importance was naturally revealed.
"Yes." But both Meili and Rhett were calm and composed. Even Meili could skillfully show a submissive and gentle smile. The elders liked her very much.
"Yes." The old man glanced at Rhett, "When you come back in the evening, wait for me in the yard."
"Understood." Rhett replied.
The old man nodded and left.
"Grandpa is still too scary." Meili patted her chest and looked scared, but she couldn't tell that from the smile on her face.
Rhett didn't answer. In fact, he liked his grandfather's crisp style. On the contrary, Sister Meili's tenderness made him not very good at dealing with it. Of course, he didn't dislike it either.
The two siblings left home and went to today's market.
Two "beauties", one black and one red, walking side by side can easily attract the attention of the surrounding people.
And this will also lead to some corresponding discussions.
Even though some topics have been circulating for a long time, everyone still enjoys them.
"That's Red from the Fieldstone family? He's so pretty, but he looks like a girl even though he's a boy."
"Hmph, as a man you have no masculinity at all, so what does this mean?"
"He seems to have been adopted by the Fieldstone family."
"It seems to be because of the death of the second daughter of the Feidstone family..."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing!"
Rhett has heard similar remarks many times.
Regarding the second daughter who was supposed to exist in the family, he asked his sister for details, but her sister just replied that she originally had a younger sister, but she was born frail and sick and died young.
He was adopted shortly after the child died in infancy, which is why the Fidstone family had no objections to adopting such a wild child.
In the midst of the pain of losing a son, everyone needed comfort, and finally accepted him naturally.
The two siblings ignored the sounds around them and just continued their fun.
They returned home in the evening.
"Merry, did you take Rhett out to play again?" Mire, the current head of the Fiddlestone family, who is also Meili's father and Rhett's adoptive father, asked sitting at the dining table.
"Yes." Meili replied with a smile.
"There will be exams at Rhett School soon. Don't delay their studies," Mi Lei said.
"If I didn't go find him, he would have been studying and practicing swordplay all day long and would have died of boredom." Meili said righteously.
"Haha, Rhett, don't be too tired, and balance work and rest." The adoptive mother Sophie has the same beautiful but more mature and tolerant temperament as Meili.
Mirei smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"Thank you, father and mother, for your concern." Rhett said.
The atmosphere in the Fidstone home was good, even peaceful, and Rhett enjoyed it.
He is not only grateful for this home, but also completely regards it as his home.
After eating and resting for a while, he said good night to Meili, then changed into training equipment and went to the backyard of his home.
The tall old man was already waiting for him.
"Grandpa."
"As usual, let's start."
The old man raised the sword in his hand.
Red also took out his usual sword from the shelf next to him.
One old and one young started to discuss.
The old man's swordsmanship was extremely fierce, and he was filled with the spirit of attacking and killing on the battlefield. During the first training, Red was so frightened that he forgot his movements. However, as time went by, he gradually became accustomed to the old man's extraordinary spirit.
The unedged iron swords collided again and again. Rhett was ready to use his tactics, and his entire defensive posture was airtight.
"Do you only know how to defend?" the old man took the time to shout.
"To attack you rashly is just to expose a vulnerability." Rhett knew that the old man was irritating him.
Rhett was good at defense, but once when he was sparring with the old man, the old man shouted like this. Rhett's head felt hot, and he suddenly felt that he really couldn't defend all the time.
Then he attacked, but was chopped to the ground by his grandfather, and then cursed: "You are so impatient, why should you let the enemy's words influence you!"
Anyway, my grandfather was right, and he has never been fooled again since then.
The corners of the old man's mouth stiffly rose but he quickly smoothed them down. His attacks became more fierce. His seemingly aged body burst out with superb skills. His footsteps followed the shadow of the sword, which frequently interspersed with each other, making Red gradually feel powerless.
Under the old man's heavy blow, Red stepped back continuously. He felt his hands were numb and sighed inwardly at the old man's strong body. At such an advanced age, he could still burst out with power that his underdeveloped body could not match.
At the same time, attention begins to be highly concentrated.
As expected, it was the old man's most accustomed move. When he was forcing the opponent back with a heavy chop and causing the opponent's posture to become disorganized, he launched a swift thrust!
Whoosh!
Red had fallen to this combo countless times.
But he was in good condition today. His posture remained intact and he quickly adjusted. At the same time, he also saw an opportunity.
He actually did not continue to defend and faced the old man's domineering edge directly.
The swords intertwined, and the old man's thrust was deflected. The old man was about to adjust, but Red didn't give him a chance. He, who was originally blindly defensive, launched an offensive that was no less than the old man.
The old man defended rock solidly, but his movements were a little messy due to the bullet that had just been stabbed. In addition, Rhett deliberately suppressed him. During the confrontation, the old man gradually realized something.
Keng!
Finally, after several rounds, the deflection of the old man's sword had reached the point where he had no time to adjust. Red seized the opportunity and swung a heavy chop to completely break up the old man's posture, and then connected with a faster and more powerful sword than the old man. Flexible thrust.
The sword brushed against the old man's waist, and the two men's movements were frozen here.
After a moment, Rhett retracted his action and saluted the old man.
The old man looked at Rhett, his Adam's apple twitching slightly, his eyes a little hazy and melancholy.
"You win, Red."
"Yes, Grandpa." Rhett was not modest. He didn't like to do that, and he knew that the old man didn't like it either.
The old man nodded, threw away the sword in his hand, and then sat down on the bench beside him.
"Sit down, let's talk."
Red was a little confused, but he put the sword back on the shelf and sat down next to the old man.
The sky is cloudless tonight, and the moonlight shines onto the earth without any cover.
The old man stared at the moon for a long time, and then sighed: "Rhett, take Mellie and leave Fiddlestone."
"Huh?" Rhett looked at the old man puzzled.
"Our family is a sinful family and has sold its conscience to the devil. All the glory and wealth cannot cover up the stench of blood accumulated in the shadows. You are innocent, Meili is ignorant, and you have nothing to do with this crime, so... …Leave early, hide your name, go to the countryside and fields, live and work in peace and contentment, and spend the rest of your life peacefully.”
"Grandpa, what on earth are you talking about?" Rhett frowned slightly, a rare change in his expression.
So, the old man sighed and gave Rhett a brief description of the past of the Fiddlestone family.
The Fieldstone family prospered in the war. For generations, they have been brave and good at fighting. On the battlefield, they have the courage to defeat ten against one.
This is quite astonishing. If it were just one person, it would be considered a gift. However, from the earliest generation onwards, the Fiddlestone family produced several generations of famous generals during the war, all of whom dominated the war with their combat prowess.
This is enough to be called a super bloodline.
But in fact, there is a super bloodline in the Feidstone family.
However, it is not a gift, but it originated from the evil witchcraft research conducted by a witch sect. The first generation head of the Fiddlestone family obtained those research materials when they destroyed that sect.
The war was brutal back then, and the first-generation head of the family felt the pressure. His fear of death made him make a secret attempt.
He succeeded, gained an unparalleled physical strength, and made a name for himself on the battlefield.
Moreover, this power can also be passed on to the next generation through inheritance, which is why several generations of famous generals in the Fieldstone family have been born.
But this power is not free.
The power derived from evil witchcraft caused strange genetic diseases in the continuation of the family.
The powerful power gradually lost, and the successors began to become pale, and were afraid of the sun and found it difficult to go out. In their later years, they could only hide in the shadows all year round, like a curse.
This kind of life was too painful for people, so starting from a certain generation when the war was dwindling, the Fieldstone family rediscovered the witchcraft research information and began to try to break the curse.
This research continued long into the generation of Katchis's grandfather.
Catches was shocked when he first learned the truth. For the sake of his future, he had no choice but to inherit the research from his parents.
And he stood on the shoulders of his predecessors and finally achieved success in his later years. At that time, he had begun to feel that the sun was too dazzling and his body felt burning under the sun.
Fortunately, he succeeded and successfully removed the hidden dangers on his body, and immediately used the same method on his daughter and granddaughter.
But he neglected that at that time Sophie was pregnant with her second child, the second daughter who was said to be frail and sickly.
The anti-witchcraft developed by Kachis and the evil witchcraft that had been used to exchange power had a wonderful reaction in the child. Finally, on the day the child was born——
Their family finally created an extraordinary monster with their own hands.
Wan Yi saw this and his eyes narrowed.
"Is this the origin of vampires in this script?"
