Chapter 4311 Ancient Vampires and Hidden Dangers of Bloodlines

Of course, no one wanted to leave Shad alone here. Even though he had recovered, the girls were still worried about him.

So Shad had no choice but to let Emilia take the elf girls back to the academy, leaving only Galina, Luvia, Dorothy, Daniste, and Winnie.

The Moon Sanctuary also has rooms for sauna or rest. Everyone continued to sit around the campfire by the hot spring. Daniste placed the dragon egg on a soft mat on the cobblestone floor. Winnie and Tifa went to instruct the witch followers who remained at the Moon Sanctuary to prepare tea and snacks for everyone.

For Xia De, this operation was more than just a chance to further enhance his Life-Red Moon system. Upon awakening, he discovered that the life energy contained within the anomalous spark source had at least doubled compared to before the operation.

During the battle, Shad did not actively use it to absorb the life-giving spark; in fact, he even used its energy during the fight. After discussing it with everyone, he concluded that this was because, during the "Sea of ​​Origin," that world spontaneously provided the spark source with a vast amount of life-giving sparks.

"So it seems that the key this time is still the Spark Source."

Danist said, then looked at the normal spark embedded in the dragon egg:

"Perhaps the stability of the Spark determines the efficiency of absorbing external life energy in the Origin Sea region. The 'First Children' possess almost infinite spirit in the Origin Sea, and those who hold the Spark there are essentially possessing infinite life energy."

"But apart from the one on the dragon egg, all the known sources of ignition are containers for distorted life energy. The life force in the Sea of ​​Origin is bizarre, but it is ultimately not a calamity for the world."

The girls also told Shad about other things that happened while he was unconscious that night.

Afterwards, Luvia performed divination on "The Infant Mother" and "Abomination," confirming her guess that although they had not completely perished, they had lost the ability to become chosen ones after making themselves part of the Sea of ​​Origin.

Shad didn't care about this; as long as "Abomination" lost its potential to grow into an evil entity with the power to destroy the world, that was enough for him.

This being, which outsiders call a "divine calamity," is still too dangerous, but fortunately, even the world and fate reject it, so it is destined to be unable to fully grow in this era.

The Witch Council subsequently searched the ancient tomb, and the girls unearthed a large number of documents and assets belonging to the Holy Son Alliance, including relics and precious ancient alchemical tools.

Since the [Holy Sons Alliance] was an organization centered on "hatred," most of its documents were taken to the tomb. The analysis of those documents is still ongoing, but according to Luvia, most of the content doesn't actually need to be examined:

"It is enough for this world to give birth to just one 'Abomination'. There is no need for anyone to know how the [Holy Son Alliance] conducted experiments to create that thing."

However, in order to understand the weaknesses of "Abomination," the data still needs to be read and organized. After preliminary testing, only girls who have reached the eleventh ring can safely and reliably read it. There are not many witch followers of such a high level in the council, because only eleventh-ring followers can appear under the name of a twelfth-rank Great Witch.

Beyond the research data on "hatred," the most important documents are actually the correspondence between the [Holy Son Alliance] and other forces. Any organization that cooperates with the [Holy Son Alliance] can be directly considered a blasphemer—this is an undeniable fact.

However, not many letters have been found so far, and most of them are encrypted. Vigo and the girls under Sylvia's command are working on deciphering them.

"And there's also the matter of the fourth level of the tomb."

Daniste, holding her teacup, said:

"When I arrived at the tomb, Iluna and Sister Daphne were still down there, so I went to help them. The fourth level of the tomb is where an entire vampire family lies asleep. They did not go to sleep to avoid disaster when the Kingdom of Delinor was destroyed, but rather they went to sleep in the early days of the Kingdom of Delinor, around the year 600 of the Common Calendar."

This ancient vampire family has influenced the Kingdom of Delinor for 200 years. Shad, you'd never guess why they've fallen into slumber.

Daniste didn't let Shad guess:

"They discovered the secret of the Burgundian royal family, realizing they were no ordinary mortal clan. To avoid disaster, they chose to fall into a deep sleep, the condition for awakening being the extinction of the Burgundian bloodline. But as we all know, although the Kingdom of Delineol perished, the Burgundian bloodline still flows."

Those ancient vampires lived in an era very close to the beginning of the Sixth Era. They even possessed some vampire secrets that had long since disappeared in this era and dangerous relics that had been passed down from the Fifth Era.

Sister Daphne, Iluna, and I dealt with them, leaving only a very few alive. Most of them were insane; only a handful could reveal some information.

Shad gently stroked Mia:

"Two questions: What secret of the Burgundy family did they discover? What secret could possibly frighten such a powerful vampire family into slumber? Also, how did these people go mad? I remember that vampires' slumber allows them to heal their mental and spiritual traumas, right?"

Daniste continued:

"These two questions actually have the same answer: that vampire family drank the blood of several early kings of the Burgundy family, and then discovered that the blood of those ordinary people contained a powerful kind of madness. This madness seems to be transmitted only through blood, but once infected, it directly affects the soul of the infected person and all their bloodline descendants."

So the vampire family was forced into slumber, attempting to avoid disaster and hoping that the powerful blood curse would weaken when the Burgundy family's bloodline ended. But in the end, none of them escaped. We spared a few survivors who were still somewhat mentally stable; you can let your vampire friends see them.”

Xia De nodded:

"Lady Thorne's eyes in the Fifth Age are believed to have gained their unique power because they came into contact with the blood of the 'First Child'."

Therefore, it's highly likely that the ancestors of the Burgundy family also came into contact with this blood in the 'Sea of ​​Origins.' Their peculiarity was latent, but later, through their union with vampire bloodlines, they manifested abilities beyond those of ordinary human bloodlines, leading to the 'New Human' project of the [Blood Spirit School].”

He didn't understand:

"But why didn't Vigo and her ancestors show any unusual characteristics?"

"Perhaps this kind of influence rooted in the blood needs certain conditions to be activated."

Dorothy said:

"Moreover, not activating it is actually a good thing. The ancient vampires proved that there is an ineradicable madness in the Burgundy family bloodline. This is the price of power. In that case, could the new humans created by Hermons and his group also have such madness?"

Luvia agrees with this speculation:

“Very likely, and besides, didn’t Shad say that Hermons looked like he had mental problems?”

But Daniste reminded him again:

"In fact, Hermons has been mentally unstable ever since he became famous. However, I also agree that this madness will affect all the 'new humans.' As the Sea of ​​Origin gets closer to the material world, they will definitely show abnormalities, and this hidden danger is a big problem."

Of all those who participated in the operation, Sister Daphne has returned to the mountaintop shrine; the battle with the First Child seemed to have made her understand something new. Most of the witches are still with Vigo. Iluna seems to have been somewhat affected by this experience, and Shad plans to talk to her after dawn. Iluna is currently still at the Fragrant Mansion.

Grace and Helen left after helping out. This time, they helped Dorothy and Lacey break free of their fusion, but they also advised the princess and the writer never to fuse again.

That evening, Dorothy told Shad about it. She and Lacey both thought Shad would scold them for Lacey's appearance that afternoon, but Shad didn't.

“You were trying to save everyone, and I’m not the kind of stubborn person who can’t distinguish right from wrong. I’m the one who needs to apologize, Dorothy. I’m sorry. If I were capable enough, I wouldn’t have forced you to come into contact with each other again.”

"Shad, don't say that."

Dorothy

“Shad.”

"Ahem, you two, Luvia, Daniste, and I are still here. If you have any ideas, you can do them in the hot springs."

These are the words of Galina.

Sunday afternoon's operation was ultimately successful in expelling a corner of the "Origin Sea," thanks to the power of space and destiny. It's best if the chosen ones of the Butterfly Wings never appear again. If a similar event occurs again, we'll have to rely on Ellie and Shad to use the world-corroding power of "Lock of the White Princess."

All of Ellie had been following Shad all afternoon, even all the way to Vistalin. She was still there, but was now resting in a small house by the hot springs, exhausted from the afternoon's exertions.

Just as Shad was finishing his dinner, Ellie came out rubbing her eyes. Upon seeing Shad, she pounced on him, almost crushing the innocent cat.

"I'm fine, why are you all like this?"

"Because Shad is a cub!"

Ellie was eventually sent back to the academy by Danist. Shad knew that Danist had classes the next day, so he told her not to come back, but the administrator, of course, did not listen to Shad.

So Galina, Dorothy, Luvia, and Daniste stayed with Shad at the Moon Sanctuary all night. Shad really didn't rest. He kept trying out his new powers, mixing the life spark with the moonlight of the red moon in different proportions and in different forms, and each mixture produced a different physical manifestation.
