Chapter 206 Noble Family Tree

Clayton glared at him: "You go to the backyard and bring a sheep up. I happen to be hungry."

Julius shook his head, walked out and left.

"Are you going to turn into a werewolf here?" Donna was even more happy.

Clayton said helplessly: "No, I'm really just hungry. But you go and close the curtains, and I can show you part of the werewolf's power."

The girl cheered softly.

As the room darkened, Clayton spread his right hand on the table and covered it with another layer of blanket. Donna lifted part of the blanket and looked inside. After a while, she put the blanket down again. Her charming face turned pale and she said horrifiedly: "Your hair has grown longer!"

Clayton didn't know what she was nervous about: "This is the normal process of werewolf transformation."

Donna touched her lips subconsciously, and she thought of that terrible suspicion again.

"Do women among werewolves grow beards? Like. Like those dwarf women?"

"None of our ancestors have dwarf relatives!" Clayton retracted his hand uneasily and touched the back of his hand: "And I swear you will not become like this, and it is too early for us to talk about this now."

The memories of his ancestors made him more comfortable with being a werewolf than before, but he always kept in mind the roots of the Bello family.

Only by living a celibate life can the werewolf's habit of consuming hair and drinking blood be concealed. Otherwise, he would have to surround himself with other dark descendants to avoid being ostracized.

He sincerely hoped that Donna could remain a human being for the rest of her life, which would avoid many of the pains caused by the separation of social identities, especially major events like marriage - otherwise, how could a monster girl find her own marriage partner? Find another monster, or pray that there is a gentleman in the world who can accept his werewolf identity?

Clayton had to think about this for Donna. Ulen had passed away. He had to think about the whole family like his father did and treat Ulen's daughter as his own.

Besides, part of the reason why Wu Lun joined the army was for him.

Donna lowered her head, then raised it again, and Clayton was pleased by her reaction.

"I believe your choice is right. If you think so, I will also find a way to ask Principal Fateya if there is a way to suppress this change. Maybe before the dark moon returns completely, I still have a chance to suppress the blood. Throbbing."

It had been a long time since anyone had told Clayton that they trusted him. He turned his head in emotion and happened to see Julius coming in with the sheep.

The wizard looked at him and said in surprise: "Am I right? You are so hungry that your eyes are filled with tears!"

"Put the sheep down and go out," Clayton said grimly.

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

Julius closed the door, kicked the sheep again, and sat down at the table. "I have to remind you one thing. Maybe you have seen it, maybe you haven't, but if your ancestor's memory is close to the present day, then the information he left in the bloodline may not be true."

Facing Clayton's frowning and serious face, he explained: "The curse ritual has not been around for a long time. Some dark descendants know its effectiveness, but they don't want their privacy to be snooped by future generations, so if they are strong enough, or If you know a wizard who is proficient in the art of blood, you will leave spells in your blood in advance to prevent the sight of your descendants, but some people will even invest some false knowledge that may lead to death to retaliate against snoopers. ”

If a person can live for a long time, his love will be exhausted sooner or later, even for his own offspring.

Julius is used to this.

Hearing Clayton's heavy breathing, he knew he was right.

But Clayton still shook his head. He felt that his ancestors were not that bad. After all, werewolves were creatures united by blood.

"I guess my ancestor wasn't that bad. However, he mentioned a place, and if nothing else, I think I might have relatives living there."

He named the place - Tian'en Mountain.

Maybe one day he will have to leave the city. If he wants to develop as a werewolf, seeking his own relatives to join is of course the best choice.

But neither Julius nor Donna had heard of this place.

Julius sat up straight: "Are you sure your ancestors stayed there? Are there any special buildings or terrain around them?"

Clayton recalled: "It is in a mountain range, and there is a temple of the sky god on it. My ancestor was on the mountain guarding the frontier for King Solomon of the ancient empire. He also had a noble title, but it didn't seem to matter. use."

"That's the Silver Age," Julius said.

This was inconsistent with the history in Clayton's memory. He shook his head and said, "No, there is no ancient empire in the Silver Age."

After the western expedition against the Dinon people, the empire created by the Ancient Manses also suffered a major blow. Many generals of the troops they sent to invade the Dinon people rebelled and did not choose to return home. Instead, they continued the war in other areas and became independent. Many new countries were formed, and at that time the empire was also caught up in political struggles and had no time to restrain external armies. Twenty years after the Dinon people fled their homeland, Solomon's great empire also disintegrated.

Julius showed a wicked smile: "In the early days of the Silver Age, the ancient empire only suffered a major blow, but was not completely destroyed. Even after the ancient empire was completely destroyed in name, the werewolves of the Solomon family were still on that land. They have been secretly ruling for hundreds of years, but the area they actually control no longer exceeds ten city-states. Your ancestors probably served for them during that time, and the noble title at that time was really useless. "

"There is one piece of evidence that proves my point. If Tian'en Mountain is on the border, then there should be no temple of the God of the Sky on it, because the Manses Empire would never build temples on the border. King Solomon ordered all temples to be built on the border. They are all built in provinces that the capital Diwuduo can completely control. There are usually a large number of soldiers guarding the temple, completely blocking the eyes of outsiders. At the same time, only priests appointed by the royal family are allowed to hold sacrificial ceremonies on behalf of believers."

He looked at Clayton and Donna's eyes that were seeking knowledge, and his sense of vanity controlled him to tell the historical truth that was different from the current records.

"Because if they don't, the secret of the Manses killing gods will be revealed to the world."

Clayton had thought his curiosity had worn off, but it seemed it hadn't.

"Human? God of Death?!" He exclaimed, but he was still aware of the need to control the volume.

"The god at that time was not the creator as defined by the Bai religion, but any powerful creature that could connect with nature."

When Julius saw Clayton's expression of realization, he suddenly felt a pang of regret in his heart, which was regret for his empty wallet.

But he soon felt relieved. Because this is not considered confidential information, many nobles also know about it, and Bracola where Donna is located must also have included these secret histories, so they don't have to ask him.

"Those powerful creatures include powerful animals summoned by the original spirit, water nymphs who protect one side, alchemy masters who control the source of transformation, and even my father. As long as you can communicate with nature, you are a member of the gods, otherwise you Do you think those smart people in folklore who can always bet with the gods and win are some kind of monster?" Realizing that his explanation was of no benefit, he couldn't help but adopt a sarcastic tone.

Clayton ignored this insignificant attitude and felt that the world was bigger than he perceived.

Julius continued: "The reason why the empire of the Ancient Manses, as the first empire, was able to have a larger territory than the empires that appeared later was not because its political system was better than those that came later, but because its political system was better than that of later ones. When they conquer other countries, they will promise that if they win, the sacrifices of the defeated party's main gods will not be cut off, and they will accept those gods into their pantheon and accept worship together with their main gods."

People at that time attached great importance to faith. They believed that human souls follow the gods for eternity. Therefore, when city-states and tribes conquered and annexed each other, they all aimed to expel and destroy each other's gods as their ultimate goal. In this understanding, Man The conditions of the Sith are undoubtedly the most favorable.

Since the gods of faith are immortal and can continue to accept sacrifices, then their loyal followers will naturally be counted as eternal life, and the death of the earthly body can also be ignored in this aspect.

The price of failure is the same as the result of victory, and being stabbed is undoubtedly very painful. Therefore, the Werewolf King's army took over many lands without much resistance.

"Of course, the Manses did not really implement this promise. They just secretly imprisoned those gods and used a ritual called Elisio to devour their power. When they conquered the Dinons in the West, , the secret was leaked, and you can imagine what happened next.”

Julius quickly ended the topic: "Going back to the previous question, my answer is that it is difficult to find where Tian'en Mountain is. After the Solomon clan completely lost their authority, their original territory was annexed, and many Regions have new names, and Tian'en Mountain may be among them. Finding the name of a mountain thousands of years ago is also a very difficult challenge for a professional archaeologist."

Clayton couldn't help but let out a sigh, but he didn't intend to give up because he hadn't tried anything yet.

When he returns to the city, he will use all the power at hand to find his relatives.

"Why don't you ask your parents?" Julius asked strangely. The antique dealer was only in his early thirties this year. If his parents had married early, they might not be fifty now.

"If your ancestors were sealed ones, then they should leave some clues. No dark descendant can completely disguise himself as a mortal, and it is not easy to hide it from his own children."

"They have passed away." Clayton said calmly.

In a rare moment of panic, Julius immediately apologized to Clayton, but the latter's reaction was less sad than he expected.

"It's been several years. I can't cry all the time." Clayton shook his head: "The genealogy of my father's line is very clear. It should be my mother who brought me the werewolf blood, but she The past is difficult to verify.”

Clayton's father, Khandar, grew up in Batnu and had an ancestral frailty.

Yes, according to ancestors, Clayton once had three aunts and two uncles, but they all died due to various things.

Both aunts died of childbirth after their marriage, and the remaining aunt died of a cold and fever after marrying into the city. One of the two uncles died of an unknown fever when he was five years old, and the other fell off his horse because of his physical weakness. At that time, he was controlling the horse to cross the fence, so he fell down very heavily. He broke his neck into two pieces and lost his life in his early twenties.

It was not easy for Clayton's father, Khandal, to grow up, but the two sons have always been in good health, and they never fell behind when the army had physical conflicts with the Fomors. This obviously inherited the fine qualities of their mother, Yingjia. Because of physical constitution.

She grew up by the sea, and later worked in various jobs, all the way east to Batnu. She has experienced a lot and is dignified and clear, but she does not like to mention the past to her children, and will even avoid talking about certain questions. .

Clayton still remembers her bedtime stories, but knows little about this respectable woman's true past.

and

"If my mother left anything in the old house, I wouldn't be able to get it." Clayton suddenly remembered something and looked strange.

Donna turned her head and looked over: "Why, did grandma hide something?"

"Isn't that the reason? Didn't your mother tell you? Without her permission, I can't step into the old house, and I can't take anything away." When Clayton remembered what happened back then, the wrinkles between his eyebrows immediately Frowning together.

"Because your grandparents left all of the family property in Batnu and its contents to her, as was their last wish."

"Would she do this?" Donna was surprised. Her mother had never mentioned it, but her uncle's expression didn't look fake.

"I don't know if she will do this, but I promised her not to go back." Clayton didn't want to explain any more and said directly: "When she comes home, I will write a letter and ask Ask her about it."

Donna's eyes widened, "How do you know when she's coming home?"

"Because if she is free, she will definitely write to me and ask about you." Clayton sighed: "In your time outside of studying, you should also pay more attention to your mother, don't be like me."

He didn't like some of Cuitisi's behaviors and habits, but he had to admit that she was an amazing guy, and that woman was by no means less determined than him to protect her family.

Donna was silent. Although she could not understand how heavy Clayton's sadness was, she suddenly felt the pressure of time chasing after him.
