Chapter 25 Misunderstanding
After thinking about it this way, Valed knew that something big might have happened, so he asked: "What happened?"
"This..." Asta hesitated a little.
"If it's something that needs to be kept confidential, then it's okay not to say it." Vared said very sensible.
"It's not something that needs to be kept secret... Forget it, letting you guys know, it's no big deal. Instead, you can pay more attention." After making up your mind, Dean Asta began to explain: "In fact, before, at the beginning of the Magic Moon, that is, on the night of June 1st, something happened. Although the magic power was disordered at that time and it was almost impossible to measure. But by the day, we still noticed something was wrong."
"...What's wrong?" After hearing what Dean Asta said, Vared's heart skipped a beat. He immediately reacted - it was probably last month when he used the power of Red Moon Moria to forcibly breaking the ancient tomb barrier. However, on the surface, he still pretended not to know anything and asked curiously.
"Forty kilometers away from the Dekenhof Castle, there was an area of magic winds that were taken away. It was so much so that it could be observed during the day that the magic winds there were extremely thin. So the Citizens' Congress consulted your mother's opinion. Madame Windsor sent a group of people to check it out. Later, he discovered that there was a tomb of the ancient empire that had never been discovered before."
The more President Asta said, the more panicked Valed felt. He had already thought of the worst outcome. Everything he did was discovered, and if that was the case, it would be bad. After all, not everyone was as fooled as the black cat.
"... Then, what happened later?" Vared a little vibrato. However, President Asta is a heroic person, not the kind of person who is good at observing words and expressions. The little brothers around him are still too young, so no one feels that something is wrong with Vared.
"Later, the dispatched personnel conducted preliminary investigations. It turned out that the ancient tomb had traces of being mined. Some mechanism traps were cracked. So the magic was taken away last night, it was obviously related to this.
"Who excavated this ancient tomb? If it were our tribe members, there was no need to risk the Magic Moon to do that, right? Just report it to the Citizens' Congress." Next to it, another cousin asked such a question.
"You are right." Dean Asta nodded: "If it is our own people, we naturally don't have to be so sneaky. So we must be what outsiders do - after this, the dispatchers found some evidence to further prove this speculation."
When Vared heard him say this, he breathed a little relieved. It seemed that the absolute trust between vampires saved his life. Of course, it was indeed too whimsical to suspect that a child of such a young age could host an excavation activity for the ancient tomb. I am afraid that someone has that kind of imagination.
"So, who did this?" After thinking, Valed's voice completely recovered. He continued to ask.
"After the dispatcher found the evidence, he immediately returned your mother, and your mother quickly contacted the Citizens' Congress. After discussion, we unanimously agreed that the traitors of Strygh who did this." When the name was mentioned, there was a hint of hatred and disgust in Asta's voice. The little brothers around him were the same, showing anger or angry expression.
"Is Stryg's traitor?" Valed felt even happier when he heard the dean say this. Looking at the little brothers around him all showed disgust. He also frowned, showing an expression that seemed to have seen garbage.
"Yes, such a hurry and sneaky action. And the tomb was not empty, nor even the most valuable main tomb chamber was looted. There was no attack on the room where the burial objects were placed. Instead, the tomb chamber where the slaves and soldiers were buried were excavated. All the bones were transported away.
This proves that their strength is insufficient. And the first goal is to expand the army. Apart from the traitors of the Stryg family, who else would do such a thing? Those bastards who are killed..." Then Dean Asta muttered in a low voice, saying swearing words in the volume that the children couldn't hear clearly. After venting his emotions for a while, he continued:
"But they will not succeed at all! We are already prepared. If they dare to climb out of their dirty crypts and shacks, we will dare to cut them all into pieces as before!" said Dean Asta. However, it seems that the information he said was too large. The younger children could understand it. This made the dean of the college a little distressed. He grabbed his hair and then came to the conclusion:
"Anyway, you little guys have gone out less during this period and stayed at home obediently. You older children, you also asked your parents to send more people to escort them to school after school. When something really happens, you will immediately call for help. Pay more attention to safety. Do you know?"
"I know." The answer was the children's not very neat words. It sounded like Astar's words were not taken seriously. This made him a little annoyed. But after thinking about it, the parents of these children would probably say similar words soon to warn them. It would be fine if the children were not taken seriously. As long as the adults pay attention.
And the very united and mutually trusted Kastein, Ramiya, Nirakochi and Eberahsin. These four families and their distant branches and vassals... These are different from the mainstream vampires that form the vampire society and the country. The Stryg family is a betrayer who is not accepted by the mainstream vampires society. In almost all books, the Stryg family always appears as an ugly betrayer.
They hoped to monopolize the power and turn other vampire families into their slaves and vassals, instead of living in harmony with other tribesmen. They designed a series of conspiracies and despicable attacks on other vampire families.
Four thousand years ago, in the first full-scale war between the vampire society against the old world, the Stryg family's conspiracy reached its peak. While other vampire families were busy fighting with foreign enemies, the family colluded with the coalition forces of humans and dwarves and stabbed the other families in the back.
This directly led to the complete division of the vampire society. The originally powerful undead empire collapsed. Even the entire vampire group almost became extinct. The surviving vampires had to give up large areas of land and retract Sylvania to rest and recuperate. The Sigma Empire rose with the flow and became one of the most powerful countries in the old world.
What is quite ironic is that after they made such "credits", his "allies", the Sigma Empire, and the Dwarf Kingdom did not accept them as previously agreed. They did not help them become rulers of the vampire society. Instead, they abandoned them mercilessly. As for other vampire families who paid the terrible price, they treated them as great enemies of life and death.
So they were expelled, slaughtered, and hunted. No other vampire family was willing to treat them as companions. The small family that vassed them made a decision at the first time and announced that they had severed relations with the Stryg family.
In the case of internal and external difficulties, the Stryg family quickly fell. Their castles were flattened, their territory was divided, and their army was destroyed. Most of the tribes were killed. Only a few of the most cunning, or the weakest, escaped. Some of them fled from Sylvania in a hurry. They entered the great wilderness in the east, and disappeared in the mountains in the north. Only a few were still lurking at the border between Sylvania and the human empire, dwarfs and greenskins.
In the four thousand years after this, the Stryg family dared not appear openly. The four noble families of Sylvania never ended their hunting. At the same time, the witch hunters of the human empire, the Sigma Church and the Black Guards of Moore also longed for the lives of these "heretics".
The most tragic thing is that because they lost their territory, they did not dare to attack the living people openly. They could only hide in the dirty crypt. After dark, they went to the cemetery to steal the newly buried dead people and sucked the cold and solidified blood of the corpses to satisfy their desire for blood.
Four thousand years later, the appearance of these Stryg vampires has changed. The deformed and tummy faces have replaced their original dignified appearance. The hunched body, gray and cracked skin, and dead grass-like hair make these guys look like a vampire nobility. They have become completely like an ugly monster. They are completely different from vampires and have become another pathetic species.
Such a change made Strygh vampire particularly painful, and he hated his cousin in Sylvania even more. Just like Vampires like Vampires hated them. (Please support the book Vampires are vampires.
