Chapter 115 Return the favor
"It looks like you're doing pretty well, Mayo, Hongyin." A faint greeting, as if they were friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
The sound of the violin stopped abruptly, and Jiang Xia stopped, putting his hands in his pockets.
There is a lawn here. The breeze blows gently, and the grass leaves make rustling whispers.
Hong Yin also put down the violin in his hand, with a faint smile on his face. He waved at Jiang Xia and said, "Why are you here when you are not at home with You Li?"
"I want to take care of everything before I leave, including the favors between you and Hongdu." Jiang Xia said.
"That kind of thing is irrelevant. How many days will I be away this time and when will I come back? I'm afraid you won't be able to see me when you come back next time."
Hong Yin also smiled heartily, not caring at all about her fate.
"You can see. I'm here for this very reason. Time is short. You and Maya should come with me to Castle Deran."
Hong Yin also raised an eyebrow, turned her head to look at Maya, and agreed: "Okay, let me see what you have prepared."
At this moment, Delan Castle also fell from the sky, crawling on the ground, using its wings as a ladder.
Jiang Xia led Hong Yin and Maya into the castle, and after many twists and turns, they were led to a corridor.
This narrow corridor was filled with valuable portraits on both sides, and the scarlet lights automatically lit up the moment Jiang Xia stepped in.
"Is this the treasure house of the vampire clan?" Maye obviously comes here often. She has lived here for hundreds of years and is familiar with all the buildings here.
Hong Yin, who was following behind her, was also shocked by the luxury here.
The things here are all priceless antiques. Just walking along this corridor, you can never worry about food and drink for the rest of your life.
With the gentle touch of Toothbat II's wings, the door at the end of the corridor slowly rose.
"The vampire clan's treasure trove is so big, and these things look very powerful." Hong Yin also followed Jiang Xia to visit here.
"These things are useless. They are used by the vampires to absorb life energy. Humans can hardly use them."
Jiang Xia opened another door in the treasure house and said, "This is why I brought you here."
"Is this the energy core of the ghost clan?" Maye said, looking at the floating object on the table.
The room inside this treasure house is completely different from the one Maya came here last time. All the things inside are gone, and instead, it is decorated in a style like a laboratory.
"Ghost tribe, what is that?" Hong Yin also looked at the energy core floating on the table and asked Maye curiously.
After all, although Hong Yin had seen many vampires and had a vampire wife, he knew nothing about the origins of vampires and the things of the demon clan.
Afterwards, Maya also gave Hongyin some basic knowledge about the Thirteen Demons.
"There are actually ghosts in this world. Can I become a ghost after I die?"
"Unfortunately, the probability of a human turning into a ghost naturally is very low. Even if you happen to see one, you won't be able to do so." Jiang Xia mercilessly interrupted Hong Yinye's fantasy.
"You transformed into a dark kiva, and your soul and body were eroded by the power of the Demon King. So even if you are lucky enough, you will disappear due to the damage to your soul."
"It's nothing. I've turned into a ghost and can't do anything. I should just enjoy this time." Hong Yin also smiled. He didn't have any expectations anyway.
His fantasy after his disappearance is that his good friends and lovers will remember him and his music together in front of his tombstone.
But after hearing what Jiang Xia said, Maye on the side did not feel so disappointed. Instead, she looked at Jiang Xia thoughtfully.
"Then why did you call us here this time? You know I don't have much time, but you still come to waste my date with Maye." Hongyin also pulled Maye to sit on a chair nearby.
"Turn your soul into an artificial ghost." Jiang Xia pointed at the core floating on the table.
"I got this from the collection of the Vampire King. He likes to collect the descendants of his race, and I have transformed that ghost."
"Artificially, can such a thing be done?" Maye asked in surprise.
“Well, Hong Yinye’s body can’t be saved. Most of his life energy has been drained away, and he was forced to transform into a human body. His body has collapsed.
But his soul can still be saved, using my modified energy core."
Jiang Xia pulled the energy core over. "But this method has a drawback. After Hong Yinye's body completely collapses, the reincarnation ceremony will start. Unlike real ghosts who can possess other people at will, artificial ghosts can only possess people who are related to their previous physical body."
"That is to say, after you are reincarnated, you can only possess your son, Hongdu."
“Ghosts have no physical form, so you can’t touch any material thing in this world except after you possess someone else. But the good thing is that you can enter other people’s dreams.
For example, as long as Maya falls asleep, you can enter her dream.
What you can do specifically depends on how well you control your abilities. I've finished. Do you have any last words?"
"No, that's not right. I'm not dead yet. Can we start now?"
Hongyin also became excited. After all, she could continue to be with her wife and children, even if it was just her soul.
"Now." Jiang Xia pressed the energy core directly into Hong Yinye's chest.
"Jiang Xia, why do I feel like something is wrong?"
The moment the ghost clan's energy core penetrated into Hong Yinye's body, he felt as if his whole body was shattered, and his face, which originally had a hint of handsomeness, suddenly turned pale.
"I forgot to tell you that living body transformation is very painful, but you have transformed into a dark kiva, so this should be a piece of cake," Jiang Xia said.
"Jiang Xia, your uncle, why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?" Hong Yin also lay on the ground in pain and curled up like a caterpillar.
"Maye, it's your turn next." Jiang Xia said to Maye.
"I?"
"The blood in your body has been exhausted. Now I will help you recover. After you recover, you will be able to see the ghost tribe."
Jiang Xia took out a crystal ball from his arms, which was half transparent and half bright red. This was the other half of the energy left after saving his friend.
At this moment, the royal seal of the Vampire Clan appeared on Jiang Xia's right hand, and colorful patterns also appeared on his face.
A faint glow gently lit up from the inside of the crystal ball, then transformed into light and shot directly into Maya's body.
The blood in Maya's body that had been exhausted was once again activated by the life energy of her fellow clansmen.
New blood began to be born, and the rock-like pearl shell emerged from her body again.
But she no longer has the power of the queen, because the power of the queen belonging to the vampire has already gone to find the next successor.
"It hurts so much." Hong Yin climbed up from the ground, sweating profusely, her clothes completely wet.
However, he soon discovered that the feeling of being weak and dying that had been in his body all the time had disappeared.
"Thank you, Jiang Xia."
"It's just a courtesy, don't take it too seriously."
"I have one more thing for you to keep."
'Jiang Xia led them away from the treasure house and walked to a wall engraved with a golden kiva mark and a bat-shaped indentation in the middle.
Once again it was Toothbat II's turn to take action.
As Toothbat II's body gently merged into the body, the golden kiva seal instantly emitted a bright light.
With a loud bang, the wall began to vibrate and slowly rose up. Inside, it looked like amber, and a golden bat with red compound eyes was sleeping inside.
After doing all this, Tooth Bat II returned to Jiang Xia's side. After the stone gate was completely stable, the outer layer of amber suddenly melted like water.
The bright red eye in the amber slowly lit up.
"Sleeping so comfortably. Father, is anyone going to use the kiva armor?"
Tooth Bat III, who had just awakened, looked at Tooth Bat II and said.
