Chapter 393 Everything is for the family

In the quiet and dark underground river.

At a certain moment, two bats flew past one after another. The bat in the rear quickly caught up with the bat in front, screamed in the air and began to attack the other bat wildly. The scene was soon covered with blood.

The other bat was in pain, and after a struggle, it hurriedly avoided and flew upwards, hitting the top of the rock wall above. Its sharp wings sliced ​​open the rock wall above, and rocks fell down layer by layer. It was swung by the bat chasing behind it.

The claws cut into pieces neatly, but the dust and gravel produced also hindered its perception and movement.

The injured bat above took the opportunity to escape quickly and stumbled deeper into the river.

After the bat below spent some effort to get rid of the obstacle, it immediately took off again and chased the opponent in the direction where he disappeared.

Just follow it all the way, and soon, this dry underground river reaches the end.

Later, the bat flapped its wings and landed on the ground, transforming into Mai's appearance.

Looking at the dead end ahead, Mai sensed a circle on the ground and quickly looked in another direction. The mountain wall here was covered with some kind of dark green underground broad-leaved plant.

Mai stepped forward and opened a broad leaf, revealing a narrow passage behind the leaf.

"Watch where you're going!" Mai sneered and got into it without hesitation.

During the pursuit just now, she had realized that the opponent was just a viscount. The viscount had no chance to resist when facing the count, so she was not worried about her safety at all.

The passage was shorter than expected, and after rounding two corners, the front suddenly became clear.

Mai found himself entering a vast underground cave, which had been artificially transformed into a medicine refining base. It was surrounded by various herbs and instruments, and there was a somewhat familiar fragrance of herbs floating in the air.

Mai didn't think much, and rushed into the cave. Soon, on the other side of the cave, he saw a man in black robe standing leaning against the wall, covering his right arm with one hand, and blood was pouring from his right arm.

That's right, that's the wound she scratched just now!

"Give up, traitor, you are at the end of your rope!" Mai said coldly, sharp claws appeared on his hands, ready to attack.

From the surrounding environment, she could already imagine that it was this traitor who continuously produced wolfsbane from here every day, and then used it on the vampires by the werewolves, causing a large number of casualties among the clansmen.

And such a person is no longer worthy of being a vampire. The vampire's rules prohibiting killing each other do not apply to this kind of person, so she does not have to hold back at all when facing this person!

However, just when Mai was about to rush forward and take down the opponent, he suddenly heard the opponent's voice.

"Mai... To be honest, I'm very pleased..."

"Um?"

Mai looked up in surprise and looked at the man in black robe opposite, with a confused expression. Because the voice just now was so familiar that she immediately thought of a character who could not possibly appear here...

"It's so nice that I'm chasing after you... It seems that he still left me some favor..."

With a wry smile, the man in black robe opposite took off the hood on his head, and the face revealed from under the hood immediately confirmed Mai's worst guess.

"Uncle? This is impossible! How could you..."

Mai looked at Jonas across from him in disbelief. The burning fighting spirit was instantly extinguished, leaving only a sense of bewilderment and absurdity.

There were so many viscounts in the Vampire Clan. She had thought that the mole might be many people, but she never doubted her uncle. Because the uncle in her impression was such a good old man with a gentle temper and politeness to everyone.

How could such a person be a traitor...

However, deep in her heart, there was an increasingly louder voice reminding her that Jonas was the traitor, because she had actually discovered the clues long ago, but had always turned a blind eye subconsciously.

For example, my uncle is one of the few herbalists in the clan and is naturally equipped to commit crimes.

For example, during the year when my uncle was injured, he often left early and came back late, saying that he was collecting medicine to support the family...

Another example is the smell of herbs that she smelled when she came in just now. The reason why she feels familiar is because there is always a similar smell in the house...

Thinking of the meaning of these herbs, which originally represented warmth and peace of mind to her, now makes her sick...

"Why……"

After a brief ideological struggle, Mai had gradually accepted this fact. She couldn't help but clenched her fists, raised her head, and stared at Jonas, her eyes filled with disbelief, grievance, confusion, confusion, sadness and many other emotions.

In the end, it all turned into anger.

"Why betray the pack and become the werewolf's lackey?" Mai asked angrily.

At the same time, there was another thing that made her feel confused: her brother had arranged for her to catch the mole today. In other words, her brother had already known that the mole was her uncle? Then why did she have to come?

In fact, Mu You did have doubts about Jonas before, because there was a period of time before when he was ambushed by a werewolf, and at that time, there were not many people who could know where he was at any time.

Mu You even suspected that Mai Yi was a mole at first, but later confirmed that he was not, and the scope of the mole was further narrowed.

As for the real confirmation that Jonas is the mole, it was this morning.

As a potion master, Mu You knows very well that the ghost is a master of poison making, and during long-term contact with medicinal herbs, the ghost's body will definitely be saturated with the corresponding smell. Unfortunately, the game text does not mention the smell.

Too detailed a hint.

So until this morning, when Mu You himself came to the Star Spirit Realm in person, the moment he came into contact with Jonas, he recognized the faint smell of herbs on his body.

Mu You had specialized in studying poisonous blood before, and he knew very well what ingredients were in it, and the herbs represented by the smell of Jonas's body coincided with these ingredients.

At this point, the identity of the mole has been completely determined.

"Why?"

Jonas shook his head and said, "Of course it's for the family, for you."

"Family? Us?"

"Ever since Liston disappeared a thousand years ago, I know that if no changes are made, the Rhine family is destined to continue to decline until the day it dies."

Jonas coughed and spoke weakly: "I have become the only adult male in the family. I feel a heavy responsibility. I must protect my family. I must shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the family. To do this, in fact,

All you need is a bottle of ancestor’s blood!”

"However, this bottle of blood is an unattainable dream for us. A drop of the ancestor's blood for a hundred years. With the size and contribution of our family, even if it takes thousands of years, it will not fall into our hands.

inside!"

Jonas smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't have the talent like Liston. I can't rely on my ability to obtain blood, so I can only find ways to create other ways to get it..."

"So you cooperated with the werewolves to create wolf poison for the tribe, forcing the tribe to part with a bottle of blood drops for detoxification?" Mai said coldly, already understanding everything.

"Sorry, this was the only way I could think of at the time..." Jonas said bitterly.

"Uncle, do you know that I almost died at the hands of a werewolf because of your poison!" Mai said through gritted teeth.

Jonas was stunned for a moment, looked at Mai and shook his head: "Actually, the werewolves wouldn't kill you at that time. This is one of the agreements between me and them. Otherwise, you think you have been hunting outside every day this year.

, you were hunted down so many times, did you survive by your own ability?"

"What about the other tribesmen?" Mai Yi said sadly: "Just for the rise of our family, does it not matter if so many vampires died in vain?"

"Yes, as long as we can protect you and prevent you from living such a precarious life, it doesn't matter if some other vampires die." Jonas said this calmly.

Mai looked at Jonas in surprise, unable to believe that he could say such words so calmly.

"But my brother has obviously come back. He relied on his own methods to easily obtain three drops of the blood of the ancestors! Our family has been revived and has become stronger than before. Why do you still..." Mai said.

"Is it still him who's coming back?" Jonas, who had always been gentle, suddenly raised his voice, startling Mai.

"Mai Yi, have you really not discovered it? Or, in fact, you have discovered it, but you just don't want to believe that he is not your brother, but just a fool wearing your brother's skin, just a fake! No!

The hearts of my race must be different. If you were from my perspective, would you dare to entrust your family to the hands of an unknown foreigner?" Jonas's eyes were full of blood, and it seemed that he was hurt by the words, and his face was a little pale.

ferocious.

Mai looked at the crazy Jonas blankly. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said seriously: "I only know that what I saw, what I heard, and everything I felt are the same as a thousand

The brother from years ago is exactly the same. I don’t care what he looks like elsewhere, as long as he appears in front of me in this form, he is my brother!"

"you……"

Jonas looked at the serious-faced Mai in surprise, and sighed helplessly: "You have been too deeply affected by the blood binding..."

"So is this the reason why you refused to take the heart blood in the first place?" Mai sneered. When she took her brother's heart blood before, she had thought about letting her uncle use it first, but Jonas refused.

Moreover, she was temporarily not allowed to feed her aunt and other children with her heart and blood on the grounds that she needed to stabilize her strength after being promoted.

Jonas sighed and admitted frankly: "Yes, I don't want to become a slave of a foreigner, and I don't want my family to become the slaves of others indirectly."

"So in your heart, am I no longer your family?" Mai Yi asked with a sad smile.

"How could it be?" Jonas shook his head hurriedly and defended: "It's just that I know that he treats you as his sister, and he will not hurt you..."

"Then why do you think he will hurt your wife and children?" Mai asked.

"..." Jonas was silent.

"Ask yourself, after my brother came back, has he ever done anything to feel sorry for you or our family? He brought us blood, so that everyone in the family could eat and drink well, and also allowed our family to regain the identity of the clan.

He respects us, and now he has to lead the clan to help the vampire survive better in the future! Can’t you see these contributions? He has done so many things for our family, but what does a poor and run-down family like ours have to offer?

Is there something worth worrying about? If he really has other intentions, he can find other big families to cooperate. Besides, even the Grand Duke has recognized him and chosen to cooperate with him, why are you still unwilling to believe him? "

Mai asked questions one after another.

Jonas was speechless.
