Chapter 570

For the cold blood brew that even Xia De felt unable to endure, the witch still drank it in one gulp, her face turned blue and she shivered; the two little girls hugged each other, drinking the blood brew in small sips, warming each other.

After they finished drinking the wine, the blood brought by the witch was divided among everyone.

The blood she brought, although it had a fishy smell, was actually not red, but blue. Observing the liquid in the glass carefully, one could even see a faint light flickering like stars in the sea of stars.

"This is the blood of the Star Sea Whale. Every Star Whale only passes through the material world once every 300 years or more. It is a creature between a physical entity and a starlight entity. I waited from 56 to 78 years old before one of them appeared in the sky of the material world. And my wish is to break through the ninth rank of the witch. I know that I have no possibility of continuing to step upward, but I am really unwilling, really unwilling..."

The blood brew made from the blood of the Star Sea Whale had no bloody smell at all. Drinking this kind of blood brew would not bring any discomfort to the drinker. Xia De even felt that he vaguely touched the power of the stars.

And after drinking a whole cup of blue liquid, in the eyes of the mortals present, there were some subtle dots of starlight. By asking the old man beside him, Xia De learned that there were similar symptoms in his eyes.

The witch didn't know why this was either. After all, no one had ever drunk this kind of thing in the past. Xia De just hoped that this would not be a permanent change.

"Finally, blood with value has appeared. The last time I drank the blood of the Star Sea Whale was in the Fourth Era, offered to me by my loyal servants."

The Saint also drank this blood, and the words of praise made a smile appear on the witch's face. Although she still had to live until the banquet ended to get what she wanted, at least she was sure that her twenty-plus years of waiting were indeed worth it.

There was no sound in Night Manor. In the eerie and tranquil night scene outside the window, the manor courtyard had not changed at all so far, as if the scenery outside the window was actually just a realistic painting.

Talking and drinking these wines took a lot of time. It had been 24 minutes since Xia De stepped out of the white fog and arrived here, and the time seemed just enough for him to drink the last cup of liquid.

The twins brought only one portion of blood, but the god recognized that it was owned by both of them. The blood turned into scarlet blood brew and was distributed equally to everyone. That red blood looked unremarkable. Shaking the wine glass, the Saint and the mortals also heard the girls' story:

"We are twins, I am the older sister, she is the younger sister."

The girl wearing a white gauze skirt said, her voice more mature than her appearance. Although she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, she spoke as logically as an adult:

"Our family is very ancient, even older than this era. In the age when data has been lost, the family took on the responsibility of guarding a certain seal. And as a reward, every generation of the family can give birth to extraordinary beings."

This story was more complex than others, and no one interrupted her.

"According to the contract signed by our ancestors and the ancient ones, whenever twins are born in the family, it means that the seal is about to have problems, and the twins need to hold a ceremony after growing into extraordinary beings to stabilize the seal. And the content of the ceremony is, one goes into the seal, one stays outside the seal, one dies, one lives. Relying on the unique talent and soul connection of the twins born in the family, in the torture of longing and pain, constructing the ceremony from inside and outside the seal in the way of life-and-death resonance and twin bonding... This is the most ancient contract, and it is also a responsibility. Even if we don't want to complete this responsibility, fate will guide us to do so."

Compared with the various ceremonies Xia De had seen, this ceremony was not particularly strange. And using the sacrifice that only appeared every few generations to obtain extraordinary beings in every generation of the family, in the eyes of most people, it was actually very worthwhile.

This should be considered a typical "sacrifice," sacrificing one of the twins, using the longing and torture of two souls to achieve effects that ordinary ceremonies could not achieve. Xia De had learned about similar ceremonies in books.

Of course, he himself would not evaluate whether it was worth it, because it had nothing to do with him.

"But I don't want to be separated from my sister."

The girl in the white gauze skirt said. Xia De could see the determination in her expression.

"I don't want to be separated from my sister either."

The girl in the black gauze skirt said. The two little girls bravely raised their heads together, looked in the direction of the Saint, held hands, and while blood and tears flowed from their eyes, poured out their wishes:

"We, never want to be separated."

In fact, they didn't have to express their determination in this way at all. In order not to be separated, they actually dared to participate in the evil god's banquet, which already explained the problem.

"So, God, we hope you can lift our fate. If we die here, it can be considered that our souls belong to the same place."

"But what about the seal that your family is responsible for guarding?"

The armored old man asked the question that Xia De and the witch had. The witch handed a handkerchief to them. The black-skirted girl who was the younger sister apologized in a low voice; she was more shy. And the white-skirted girl who was the older sister pursed her lips:

"That is the responsibility of our ancestors, and it is also a contract signed by our ancestors, and it has nothing to do with us."

The old man stopped talking, but judging from his expression, although he sympathized with the twin sisters, he did not agree with this idea. The witch was expressionless, and I don't know if her facial management ability was strong or if she was used to seeing such things.

As for Xia De, he had no opinion. For the time point he lived in, this was already a thing of the past. At least the world was not destroyed because of that so-called seal, so he just wanted to end this banquet. Although he was curious about the ending of the girls, he would not interfere with other people's choices.

This was, after all, a story of the past.

"God, the blood we offer is the blood left by the twins of the family through the generations before holding the ceremony. The family preserves these, not only to commemorate and thank them for their sacrifices, but also to strengthen the connection between twins by letting newly born twins bathe in this blood, strengthening our already magical talents. In this... there is also our blood."

The twin sisters drank this blood, and the old man with silver-white hair shook his head and drank this human blood in one gulp. After knowing that this was just human blood, the witch also drank it in one gulp without psychological burden.

The Saint did not drink it immediately, but shook the wine glass and took a deep breath, as if wanting to suck the taste into the nasal cavity of this body:

"Really not bad."

He gave praise without hesitation. Anyone could see the undisguised joy of the god:

"Really good blood, bonding, pain, regret, longing, responsibility, repentance, courage, sadness... such complex human emotions, perfectly blended together. After generations of fermentation, and under the catalysis of the emotions of twins whose souls are connected, can there be such blood. Not bad, although it is still not perfect, it is really not bad. This can almost be used as a collectible."

He did not drink it in one gulp this time, but tasted the wine very carefully.

Suddenly looking at Xia De across the table:

"Unexpected guest, why don't you drink?"

Of course, because this was human blood. For the sake of the curse, Xia De had even swallowed frog materials, so he had no resistance to dragon blood, butterfly blood, and whale blood just now. After all, learning sorcery and curses required swallowing even stranger materials.

Making him drink human blood, although it was not direct blood-sucking, would not harm others, and was not eating human flesh, but after all, there was still some psychological burden, so he wanted to try other means:

"May I ask, can I 'drink' in other ways?"

The god smiled:

"I already know about your connection with me, unexpected guest. You want to use your eyes to taste this fine wine in the intersection of time, space, and blood?"

The God of Vampires really knew.

"Yes."

"You can, but this method can only be used once. Next time, you can't do this again."

For the second banquet, he had to drink the god's own blood brew. At that time, something even stranger would definitely appear. It was not just as simple as human blood. Xia De was very sure that the evil god's blood brew would definitely not be drunk without a price.

"Okay."

But in any case, he didn't plan to drink human blood this time.

Guiding the red droplets, Xia De dripped all that cup of blood brew into his right eye. Normal eyes of course could not "drink" such a volume of blood, but 【Xia De's Echo of Blood】 could absorb the effective components in the blood and remove impurities during the active period.

Therefore, although after "drinking" it all, the right half of Xia De's face was stained blood-red by the impurities in the blood, at least he did "drink" it all.

This time travel journey seemed simple, but in fact, the complexity was still to come. Before the second banquet, he had to collect two kinds of qualified blood and drink the god's blood brew at the banquet.

It could be said that among the three opportunities of this key, almost all the risks were concentrated in the second one, which was different from the past.

"Then, Duke Lao Ai, I think I should leave for now."

The time was almost up. Xia De put down the wine glass, then stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Looking forward to your next visit."

The god said softly.

The old man and the twin sisters were puzzled by Xia De's departure, but said nothing. The middle-aged witch opened her mouth but stopped, and before Xia De turned around, she still spoke:

"You can return to the outside, right?"

"Not really, I am different from you, so I can't give you any help."

Although "Night Manor" probably had the characteristic of memory damage after leaving like other places, Xia De still didn't want to tell irrelevant people about his background.

"Two kinds of blood, and special antidotes and the like."

He calculated in his heart, counting down while walking to the door where he came.

The double doors on both sides opened automatically. The time arrived just right, and Xia De walked into the white fog behind the door.

The Saint on the main seat of the banquet table held His hands together and placed them on the table, looking at the four people who were surprised to see Xia De disappear on the spot:

"What an interesting banquet. I originally thought he would be as rude as the owner of the blood banquet. Coming to the mortal world with that one in the previous era was simply a disaster. Although the appetite was good, His taste was really poor..."

The Saint scanned the four mortals sitting there and suddenly smiled:

"Before the unexpected guest returns, in the gap of the banquet, maybe we can play a little game... A thousand years ago, a mortal named Shi Laiqi Li De Er broke into my banquet by mistake. Although he didn't bring blood wine, he played a 【Game of Life】 that only existed in the Fourth Era with me at the banquet, so I let him go and gave him some gifts. He said he had spread this kind of game on a small scale, so you of this era, will you play the game of life?"

"I will."

The old man skillfully took out his cards.
