Chapter 3445: Visceral Tracing and Wild Vampires

"Since it's sleepwalking, if I wake her up, will the demon have no dream environment to survive in, and will it directly manifest in the real world?"

Xia De asked, and the doctor shook his head immediately:

"Waking her up is not that simple. I said just now that in a sleepwalking state, what she sees and what actually happens might be different. Once the demon discovers your intention, I even think it's highly likely that the huntress will fight you."

Xia De didn't want to fight Miss Keons at all, but he would never let that huntress really become a resident of the hotel:

"Then is there a way to drive the demon away while Miss Keons is in a sleeping state?"

The doctor frowned and thought:

"Actually, it's safest for me to do this myself, but that happens to be a matter of past time.

Driving away a demon in a dream is more troublesome than treating other types of demon possessors. The worst way is for you to enter the dream and then duel with the demon in the dream, but on the other party's home field, you are not particularly good at the power of dreams, so I don't suggest you do this."

The doctor considered it again:

"Anyway, you won't leave until next week, give me a week to think of a way."

"Then I'll trouble you, Doctor. Besides driving away the demon, it's best to have a way to control the other party. Although I don't expect that we can find the other party's traces in the current era after such a long time, at least we can't let the other party make trouble for me in the past time again."

This mission was "selecting suitable residents for the hotel." Xia De was almost certain that the "residents" involved in this mission were his three companions and their respective secrets. So even if the doctor brought out potions and alchemical items, Xia De could take them to the past as "mission items."

"No problem, exorcism, control, sealing, I will make a plan for all these things for you. However, the early Fifth Era is really a distant age~ The era of chaos and darkness had just ended, the loss of spellcasting ability by men turned the world order upside down, a brand new era was beginning, and civilization was moving toward brilliance again.

People living at that time can actually be considered to be living in the era of the rising dawn."

The doctor sighed while holding a teacup. Although the extravagance and debauchery of the witch emperors at the end of the Fifth Era caused great problems, relatively speaking, the entire Fifth Era was still a very prosperous era.

Xia De also nodded:

"If time wasn't short, I would actually like to see more of the hotel and chat more with those girls about what their era was like. Chaos and darkness were gradually dispelled in the early Fifth Era, but the fighting between female spellcasters made city-state wars the norm—although that's what the books say, those are ultimately just words."

The doctor had to be busy seeing patients, so Xia De did not disturb him here. After returning home with Little Mia, the second stop was Moon Bay.

The impact of the world's turmoil on the City of Wealth did not seem to be great. The disaster of last summer could hardly be seen in this city where light snow was falling now. After coming out of the dragon's nest outside the city, Xia De took a carriage directly to the autopsy room at the end of Spider Alley. As expected, at 10:00 AM, the vampire coroner with a perfect attendance record was indeed here.

However, he didn't look busy today. Although he was still working here, Ptolemy Albert was not dissecting corpses, but filling out autopsy report forms in his office.

When he saw Xia De, he even said to Xia De:

"Recently, a group of corpse thieves appeared in the city. They don't steal from the cemetery, but specifically target hospitals and autopsy rooms. So the superiors require us to keep detailed records of every corpse handled recently. In this way, even if the corpse is lost, we can trace the flow of the corpse based on these records with corpse characteristics."

But with this coroner here, no thief could steal corpses in Spider Alley. But sure enough, every city had its own story, and everyone had their own troubles.

Xia De came to visit this time because of the vampire Miss Novaire's mention that vampire secret arts could track pseudo-humans.

After Xia De mentioned this to Mr. Albert, he actually knew it, but when Xia De asked him for the secret art, he shook his head:

"I also saw the records about it in the old papers of the clan when I was young. It is said that the taste of pseudo-human blood... compared to the blood of real living things, pseudo-human blood is like red wax. Although that is indeed blood, that thing is very disgusting.

Mr. Hamilton, I am actually not good at vampire secret arts, at least not as good as Armand. The secret art of tracking pseudo-humans through blood is not just about sensing the source of the bloodline after sucking blood, because it involves Relics, so it also requires relatively complex steps.

This method has not been completely lost, but I haven't learned it. I even suspect that Armand hasn't learned it either. We can of course find relevant materials and then master this method to help you, but that is quite time-consuming."

Xia De heard the clue:

"So besides your racial secret arts, are there actually other ways?"

Mr. Albert smiled. This vampire coroner who always wore a brown robe didn't smile often:

"When I went to the New Continent with the army, I thought about developing some new Miracle spells through the vampire's talent and the medical means I learned myself. After working as a coroner in Moon Bay for so many years, some ideas have almost succeeded. Mr. Hamilton, you have heard of visceral divination, right?"

Xia De nodded immediately:

"Of course, predicting the future by examining the viscera of animals. It's just that this divination method is very bloody every time, and it also requires the corpses of fresh animals, so although it is considered a basic divination method, it is not very mainstream compared to divination cards, pendulums, numerology, spirit boards, and other means."

Just like Luweiya, if visceral divination was not part of the "Registered Diviner Exam," Luweiya wouldn't even want to learn this technique.

"Yes, my new Miracle was developed after my years of autopsy experience, combining the characteristics of 'visceral divination' and 'blood tracing.' This Miracle is called 'Visceral Tracing' by me, and if you have the talent for divination, you don't even need the vampire's racial identity to learn it."

Xia De then recalled that Mr. Albert was also a diviner.

"Simply put, obtain the viscera of a corpse, and then by observing and casting spells on the viscera, you can find the object with a blood relationship to the corpse. The fresher the viscera, the more accurate the divination result. I have conducted many experiments after developing this Miracle, and this Miracle can take effect on any race. I think it can also take effect on pseudo-humans. Although pseudo-humans do not have specifically differentiated visceral organs, the flesh mass in the body is equally useful."

He flipped out the scroll from the drawer and handed it to Xia De. It recorded the detailed learning method of this Miracle he developed. This was his original Miracle, so the steps on it were very detailed:

"I know you have many diviners around you who are much better than me. You can let them learn this Miracle. However, if it is convenient, please give me feedback on how effective this Miracle is on pseudo-humans."

Xia De suspected that Mr. Albert was interested in this matter purely because he found an opportunity to specifically verify his secret art:

"Alright then... thank you, I will bring the results later."

However, seeing that Mr. Albert was very free today, Xia De did not rush to leave, and talked to him about the things happening on Schluch Lake now. And when Xia De talked about the internal experience of the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 and that "door," Mr. Albert hesitated:

"Flesh of the Firstborn? Now I understand the reason for the cooperation between the 【Blood Spirit School】 and the pseudo-humans. Although the 【Blood Spirit School】 is an illegal ring-warlock organization, once it is said that they cooperate with humanoid Relics, even the most despicable evil cultists will despise them."

So people in this world really distinguish between "Relics" and "people."

"Mr. Albert, do you know about the Flesh of the Firstborn? I heard that this has already involved the creation myth of the Ancient God."

The vampire coroner poured Xia De another cup of tea and explained patiently:

"Human civilization is flourishing in the current era, and the vampire clan is far from the glory of the past era. The few remaining ancient branches are also honestly staying in Wellingdale City without any action.

But besides the clan that Armand and I belong to and those clans with kinship, there are some other clans hidden in every corner of the world. Armand and I are clans that believe in the Lord of Blood and the Red Moon, which is also the mainstream belief among vampires. But in fact, there are also clans among vampires that believe in the Old God 【Dusk Creator】. They crave the power of flesh evolution and are generally called 'Wild Vampires' by us.

They are few in number and more... savage and bloodthirsty. Modern vampires like us who settle in cities basically don't suck human blood anymore. We are civilized modern people. Compared to sucking blood, modern vampires prefer to talk business with people at cocktail parties with red wine; but those 'Wild Vampire' clans still maintain quite cruel and disgusting habits. They seem to be immersed in the past era and haven't walked out yet. However, they are indeed better at killing and raising blood-sucking beasts than us—I'm not saying that city vampires are all innocent, but in fact, most of the horror stories about vampires in the city can be applied to Wild Vampires."

It could be seen that Mr. Albert looked down on his "fellow clansmen" quite a bit. Although Moon Elves and Tree Elves had different beliefs, they were generally quite united, otherwise the Ancient Elf Empire would not have appeared, but the contradictions between vampires of different beliefs were really great. ===== CHAPTER 3446 =====
