MTL - This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic-Chapter 387 Blood bound
Chapter 387 Blood Binding
【You have obtained three drops of 'Ancestral Blood', do you want to fuse them immediately? 】
【Note: After fusion, your vampire earl skin will be promoted to 'vampire marquis', the previously obtained vampire talent will be enhanced, and you will automatically understand a new talent ability. 】
"yes."
Leaving from the Blood Duke's house, Mu You returned directly to the Rhine Family with blood drops, found a safe place at home, and started the bloodline upgrade.
The whole process takes much less time than expected, just a few seconds.
Mu You himself didn't feel anything in reality, after all, it was only one of his skins that was upgraded.
After just a few seconds, a prompt pops up in the game.
【The promotion is complete, your vampire skin has been upgraded to 'Vampire Marquis'. 】
[Vampire Marquis: The second rank rank among the existing vampires, when facing other vampires whose titles are lower than yours, your damage and defense ability will be greatly improved, and the native talents of low-level vampires will not be effective when facing you .
Benefits:
Night King: You will become weaker during the day and stronger at night. The closer you are to the night, the stronger your strength will be, and you can get a maximum bonus of 100% of all attributes.
Giant Slayer: You deal seven times damage to creatures taller than three meters, and ten times damage to creatures taller than ten meters.
Talent Absorption: It can be fused with other unowned skins to obtain a talent of the skin and a random curse. The curse level will be one level lower than the acquired talent, and the curse will not be obtained when absorbing the lowest level talent.
Butcher Wolf: …
Survival of the fittest:…
Aqueous Mastery:…
Possess curses: blood thirst, scorching sun, daydreaming, death punishment. 】
【You have obtained a brand new talent 'Speed'. 】
After the promotion was completed, Mu You carefully reviewed the changes.
Sure enough, the level and attributes have not been improved, only the quality of the skin itself has been improved.
Among the six existing talents, only Giant Slayer and Talent Absorption have been improved, while the rest remain unchanged.
The damage of 'Giant Killer' has been increased from five times to seven to ten times.
The effect of 'Talent Absorption' has not changed. It still takes a talent to give a curse, but the curse you get now will automatically weaken by a level.
And this point has been directly reflected in the curses he obtained through this ability before. Among his original curses, the two low-level curses of 'greed' and 'big eater' disappeared immediately, and the effects of daydreaming and death punishment were greatly weakened.
Daydreaming now has the effect of being drowsy continuously during the day, but will no longer directly force you into deep sleep.
The death penalty was reduced from the original 'ten times the penalty upon death' to five times the penalty, which was reduced by half.
The next step is the highlight of this promotion, the new talent: speed.
【Extreme Speed: Increase your speed by 360 times within 3 seconds. It will automatically fail when you are about to launch an attack. It will automatically fail after leaving the initial range of 1000 meters. Cooldown time 54 seconds. 】
Of course, this talent was randomized by Mu You with a pocket watch. Fortunately, it is not a hidden talent, and it is not difficult to roll.
As for the effect... Mu You immediately ran to the backpack space to try it out.
At the moment of the rapid activation, Mu You suddenly felt that everything around him slowed down. The silver owl flying overhead, the unicorns playing in the grass in the distance, the little mermaid's tail slapping the water splashing on the lake...everything around him seems to have entered the slow-motion mode of countless times, only he himself still keeps normal.
This scene made Mu You feel very familiar, yes, Fool Card!
When the Fool Card is activated, the scene outside the Fool's Barrier is also similar, and the number 360 times is just the same as the multiple of the Fool Card.
The 360 times of super speed acceleration can not only increase the speed of movement, but also the speed of reaction, dynamic vision and other speeds, which leads to the final result, which is equivalent to his own time being accelerated by 360 times, just like the fool card.
It's just that when the Fool Card is activated, he can't move and must stand in the Fool's Barrier, but now he can move freely. The only restrictions are that he cannot attack, and he cannot go too far in the super speed time, otherwise he will automatically invalidated.
Mu You tried to recruit the avatar, and found that the judgment of the attack is quite strict. As long as he raises the weapon towards the avatar, even before he condenses the magic, the acceleration effect will automatically end when he only has the intention to attack.
That is to say, this ability cannot be used to attack, and it is difficult to use it to run, but other things can be done casually. Just three seconds is equivalent to 18 minutes for him!
Combined with the backtracking of the pocket watch, he can have a very high degree of freedom during the backtracking, so he has the ability to change more things.
Of course, it doesn't mean that this ability is completely equal to the top of the Fool's card. After all, the speed can only accelerate itself, and other things are still in a slow state. For example, the potion ingredients thrown into the crucible will only slowly fall and fuse. Another example is the game text event in the mobile phone, and the process will not be accelerated because of your acceleration.
The Fool Card accelerates all the objects in the Fool's barrier, so he can cast spells and attacks normally in the barrier, as well as refine potions, etc., which cannot be done with super speed.
In general, these two abilities do not conflict, they complement each other, and each has its own advantages.
After testing his ability, Mu You took the phone.
In the game, the speed of text pop-up is still the same as before, one text in a few seconds, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, occasionally a longer paragraph of text pops up, after all, the opposite world has not accelerated.
The difference is that in the speed mode, Mu You has enough time to browse all the information and type replies.
【You walk out of the closed room. 】
【The whole family is surrounded by you, feeling the more powerful aura of superiority in you, all showing excited expressions. 】
【Mai and the children looked at you adoringly, while Uncle Jonas and Aunt Elsa were full of relief: "Bless the ancestors, our Rhine family has finally returned to the Marquis family after thousands of years!"】
…
The text was still displayed slowly, Mu You clicked on the personal panel, and at this moment, in the interaction with the vampire skin, there was an additional option of "extracting the blood of the heart".
[Heart Vein Blood: The core essence of life of the vampire. After each title promotion, you can extract up to three drops of Heart Vein Blood and feed it to other creatures. Creatures that take your heart blood will have a "blood bond" with you Contact, if it is your blood relative who took the painstaking efforts, and the title is at least two levels lower than yours, the other party will automatically increase the title by one level.
Each time you extract heart blood, your life limit will be permanently reduced by 1000 points, and it will take one year of recovery before you can extract it again. You can instantly refresh the recovery period by eating the hearts of other blood races. 】
【Blood Binding: When a creature swallows the heart blood of a vampire, it will have a supernatural bond of loyalty and attachment to the vampire who shares the blood, thus becoming the blood servant of the vampire.
Blood binding is one of the most powerful tools of the vampire family. It can almost use the effect of blood binding to fascinate everyone. The degree of obedience of the blood servant depends on the level of willpower. Creatures with strong willpower have a chance to break the effect of blood binding, but Generally have little effect. For those with weak willpower, blood binding will have a lasting and extremely blind worship effect. 】
After reading the two paragraphs of explanation, Mu You suddenly realized that this is how the blood servant was created!
Vampires can only extract three drops of heart blood each time they are promoted to the title, and they can be promoted up to five times. That is to say, a vampire can only create fifteen blood servants at most in a lifetime!
Of course, the blood of the heart is generally reserved for other blood relatives in the family to advance. In fact, each family can not cultivate too many blood servants.
Having said that, the description did not mention that vampires can be immune to the effect of blood binding, that is to say, the blood of the heart that is provided to the blood relatives to advance, in fact, it is still the process of creating blood servants, but the superiors are very concerned about themselves. Blood relatives generally do not have the mentality of enslavement, so they are not considered servants.
But I have to admit that it is precisely because of the existence of this blood bond that the internal connection of each family of the blood family is extremely close, and the head of the family almost has the absolute right to speak in the family.
【Now, you can give a drop of heart blood to make your family advance. Do you want to withdraw now? 】
【Extraction is successful, your HP limit has been reduced by 1000 points. You have obtained 'Liston's Heart Blood'*1. Remaining recovery time for the next drop of heart blood: 8760 hours. 】
【You choose to give this drop of hard work to? 】
Ten options popped up below , which were the names of ten members of the Rhine family besides him.
The recovery period of the heart blood is very long. Of course, the first drop is given priority to his younger sister. After all, even in the same family, there are also relatives and estrangements. Mai Yi is undoubtedly the closest person to him now.
【You give the heart blood you just extracted to Mai. Under the envious eyes of other children, Mai Yi took the blood drop excitedly and carefully. 】
[The blood drop exudes a deadly aroma, which successfully arouses the blood-hungry nature of the vampires present. Mai Yi licked her lips, and when she was about to swallow the blood drop, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at her uncle Joan Nas had a hesitant expression on his face. 】
[Jonas saw her thoughts, waved his hands and smiled: "Don't worry about me, I have wolfsbane in my body, and I haven't recovered yet. Taking it at this time may affect the effect of Heart Blood, of course it's best for you. In addition, wait for Mai Yi, after you advance to the next level, don't rush to concentrate your efforts on others, wait until you fully adapt to the increase in strength, and then gather your efforts to bring out the best results."]
【Mai nodded after hearing the words, and swallowed the blood drop. 】
【Mai took the blood of your heart, creating a layer of blood binding, and the kinship between you and Mai is even closer! 】
【Pure energy flows in Mai's body. In just a few seconds, she was successfully promoted from viscount to earl. The existing blood talent was upgraded, and she realized a new talent: atomization. 】
…
"Huh?"
Mu You was taken aback for a moment. It wasn't that there was any accident in the promotion, but that his game text actually directly notified Mai Yi's promotion process, and at the same time, on his panel interface, there was actually a Mai Yi. Property interface!
【Name: Rhine Mai.
Level: Level 20 has not evolved.
Identity: Count Vampire.
Unlocked family talents: super sense, atomization.
…]
Although it is a very simple panel, at least it does display the panel. Except for the contract familiar, Mu You has never seen such a situation.
Could it be that this is also the effect of blood binding?
Mu You thought about it, it seems that in the judgment of the game, blood binding and contract belong to the same thing.
However, if this is the case, then wouldn't he be able to help Mai to brush up her talents?
Mu You immediately thought of this, and hurriedly took out his pocket watch and pressed it.
【Time goes by, Mai Yi devoured your blood...】
【... Mai realized a new talent: Charm. 】
"Backtracking."
【... Mai realized a new talent: iron block. 】
"Backtracking."
…
Finding that it is really possible to switch talents for her through backtracking, Mu You simply decided to give her the rarest 'talent absorption'. With the pocket watch, Mai can also choose to devour the curse brought by her talent with his help in the future, so as to have the opportunity to train her into another super talent monster.
However, it turns out that Mu You still underestimated the rarity of 'talent absorption'.
After backtracking for more than 1,900 times in a row, he finally developed this ability for the first time.
You need to know that there are only nine options in total, and it took nearly 2,000 swipes to get it, which shows how low the rate of this ability is.
【"Ah..." After the promotion, Mai looked at himself, exclaimed subconsciously, and looked at the others with some surprise: "I, I seem to have realized the talent absorption, just like my elder brother!"】
【Jonas and Elsa are quite unbelievable when they heard the words. Talent absorption is an extremely rare hidden talent, but your brothers and sisters actually comprehended this talent one after another. How low is the probability? 】
【Recovering, the whole family also looked at each other and smiled, quite fortunately. Although talent absorption is considered a 'cursed talent', no one dares to deny its power. 】
【"Not bad." Under Mai Yi's expectant eyes, you praised her without hesitation, and then asked: "But don't swallow your talent casually in the future, and tell me before you swallow it."】
In order to prevent her from messing around and getting any troublesome curses, Mu You specially warned her.
【"Yes, my lord." Mai nodded hastily, and looked at you with burning eyes, full of respect and a hint of... fanaticism. 】
"Crazy..."
Mu You raised his eyebrows. Is this the effect of blood binding? This thing seems to take effect much faster than expected...
Shaking his head, Mu You looked back at the game.
The promotion is over, next, it's time to deal with the issue of the ghost.
He had already discussed the issue with Brand before.
Brand obviously also knew that there was an insider in the clan, but he wasn't sure who it was.
However, after the clan meeting a few days ago, he also had suspicions, that was Teddy who recommended Scarlet Dawn at that time. Of course, he didn't have any evidence, so he couldn't do it. For a race with a bloodline system like the blood clan, it's taboo to do anything to the clan members casually. .
But Mu You didn't have so many scruples. Since it's not easy to do it inside the blood clan, he, an outsider, should do it.
【You came to the northwest of the dark city, in an abandoned magic stone processing factory. 】
【You hid in the corridor on the second floor of the factory. 】
【The interior of the factory is pitch black, except for bugs and some mice, there is no other biological activity, and the quiet needle drop can be heard on the site. 】
【At a certain moment, you suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. 】
【A moment later, a figure in a black robe cautiously opened the door and entered. Walking into the empty factory, the figure looked around vigilantly, but after finding no other figure in sight, he called out in a low voice: "Duke Brand, are you there?"]
【Through the perspective of night vision, you can clearly see the face under the cloak of the other party. It is the Bruchtedi you saw at the previous clan meeting. your choice…】
【You suddenly appeared, jumped down from the second floor, and blocked in front of the gate. 】
[Bruch Teddy saw the figure appearing, and ran towards you subconsciously, but he reacted as soon as he took a step, stopped hurriedly, and looked at you in surprise: "Liston? How could it be you?! Duke What about adults?"]
【"The Duke is not here, I am the only one here. Moreover, you now have to respectfully call me Lord Marquis!" You answered. 】
【"You have already been promoted to Marquis? How is this possible?" Teddy looked at you incredulously, and quickly thought of something: "Could it be that the Duke has given you blood?"]
【Just after asking, Teddy quickly sensed the crisis: the Duke called him here, saying that it was about the Blood Dawn alliance, and he needed to be consulted. He ran over excitedly, but in the end, it was you who was waiting here...]
【"You joined forces with Duke Brand! Do you want to kill me?" Teddy gritted his teeth and looked at you. 】
【"Yes, the duke thinks you are an inner ghost. You helped the werewolves create poisonous blood to harm their own people. The crime is heinous, so let me deal with you." Vampire claws popped out from your hands. 】
【"Absurd! I don't know what poisonous blood is! I clearly haven't done anything yet! What's more, what evidence do you have to prove that I'm an insider?" Teddy backed away in a panic as he spoke. 】
【"There is no evidence, but in fact, I don't need evidence. I said you are an insider, but you are. Even if you are not, there is no loss to me." You replied. 】
【"You!" Your rascal's words made Teddy almost vomit blood in anger. 】
【Tai Di saw that he couldn't make sense, so he jumped back and fled decisively, trying to escape through the window on the other side of the factory building. 】
【You activated the super speed, and appeared behind the opponent with lightning speed. At the moment Teddy couldn't react, two claws pierced his chest. 】
【Tai Di was seriously injured by your blow and fell to the ground, spitting blood, but he didn't dare to resist at all. Facing the suppression of titles within the blood clan, he knew that there was no chance of winning a battle with a marquis, so he hurriedly turned around and looked at you, sternly warning: "You, you can't kill me, killing each other is strictly prohibited within the blood clan, even if it is a duke, only Only after a public trial by the whole family will you have the right to execute your compatriots. If you kill me, you will be marked as a murderer of your compatriots. From now on, you will be at odds with the entire blood clan!"]
【"Thank you for reminding me, but who said I'm going to kill you as a vampire?" Facing the other party's threat, your figure suddenly swelled, and you transformed into a moon wolf in the blink of an eye. 】
【"Remember, it was a werewolf who killed you... Don't worry, as a blood hero who died in the line of duty, you will be remembered by your tribe."】
