Chapter 10, Bloodline
Adam felt that Alva's perceptual abilities must be very strong
Unfortunately, reality is such that Adam does not have the ability to change all of this
"Clean up a bit," said Alva, waving his hand after speaking, and without caring for the tools on the ground, he staggered out.
On the second day, Alva finally began to take action. He instructed Adam to scrape off the surface layer of a wall. After cleaning the wall, he had Adam start mixing the materials according to the specified ratios. Depending on the different pigments used, the materials were divided into several types, which were then evenly applied in layers on the wall
The church, the nobility, the garrison, and the other races... Various pieces of information collected in daily life flowed through Adam's mind, and he contemplated responses to various situations, repeatedly narrating to himself and applying self-suggestions, so that he could react correctly at the first moment when faced with those matters
My past and my abilities
As Adam walked along the road, he lowered his head and fiddled with the wooden piece in his hand, using a branch or a stone in the absence of a carving knife
However, Adam still learned a great deal of information from within
Before long, a richly textured painting appeared before Adam, with varying materials and a diverse array of colors.
Why did this vampire come to the Holy Sound Kingdom to conduct experiments? Adam furrowed his brow; the Holy Sound Kingdom is the main venue of the Holy Sound Church. He wanted to escape because he was born here, but what about that vampire?
Tracing ancestors, reflecting on the past, and uncovering personal talents? Adam looked at his white hair and furry paws, having hardly met his biological father and knowing little about his father's family. So what does it mean to reflect on the past and uncover talents?
Some possess an even more perverse self-healing ability, some have highly infectious wolf poison, while others exhibit even more wondrous abilities
Sensing the affinity emanating from Adam, the stray cat hesitated for a moment before approaching him.
Non-purebred werewolves are formed due to infection, so when their bloodline awakens, the link to tracing their ancestors is often absent, resulting in relatively weaker awakened abilities.
The distinction between him and that human-shaped garbage lies in the fact that he is fully aware that what he is doing is dirty and ugly, and he will not engage in those sordid activities for matters that do not concern his interests
When those materials were applied and began to gradually solidify, Alva started to take action, using different carving knives to peel away the excess material
Adam understood that details determine success or failure. Since he decided to use the guise of a painter, he needed to do some tasks that a painter's apprentice should undertake. Although the gems were appealing, he did not believe he could truly keep them for himself, nor could they bring him any real benefit
Vivid colors, distinct layers, rich texture, the figures above are exceptionally lifelike, as if their skin were real
If he had not been reincarnated as a different species, perhaps at this moment he would have truly become a cultivator, enjoying the admiration of the people in some place, battling against the evil beings of a different kind.
Although Adele is a local of Roya, as a free man, he had the so-called ambition in his youth, planning to venture out and become a great adventurer
Although his hatred for that blood slave reached its peak, Adam was still prepared to make use of him
This is a disorganized handwritten book, which even contains some diary entries
The owner of the book is named Adel Lien, undoubtedly the name of that repugnant human trash.
Adam followed closely behind, continuously assisting in replacing tools, then cleaning up the scraped-off waste materials, and occasionally adjusting the paint to perform color touch-ups
As for other information, Adam has also gained a lot; the distinction of werewolves lies in whether they are purebred, while the distinction of vampires lies in whether they are of pure blood
The distinction among them lies in the fact that the purity of werewolves is determined by bloodline inheritance, while the authenticity of vampires is assessed based on whether the rituals are performed correctly
If Adele's account is not mistaken, I will indeed undergo a bloodline awakening during that period
After that, Adele returned to Roya but did not dare to enter the city. She squatted in the forest for several months and finally made contact with some of the other species within Roya, getting to know the shaman Hoda. It was then that she officially returned to reside in Roya.
Without an answer, Adam could only set aside this question and continue to draw knowledge from within. Undoubtedly, what was most beneficial to Adam was the experiments conducted by vampires on the bloodline of werewolves
Adam never considered himself a good person, casually burying the bodies of others, then usurping their identities, enjoying the affection of their loved ones, lowering the standards of a good person, all for the sake of gaining an opportunity for himself
Upon seeing this, Adam furrowed his brow and looked up through the skylight at the sky. It is now a waxing crescent moon, and in seven or eight days, it will be the night of the full moon.
Finally transformed into a werewolf, I began to read the book obtained from the blood slave under the light of the waxing moon
This information is good news for Adam, at least that genuine vampire is not in Roya
Then, during a rather clumsy adventure, Adele became a captive of a vampire and was subsequently transformed into a blood slave, becoming half an assistant to the other party
As the sun was about to set, Adam stood up, returned to the Boku household, greeted Alis and Maggie, played with little Lina, and then went back to the attic, his mind filled with various calculations
Having nearly completed the depiction, Alva then took out various colored stones, shells, and gems from a nearby materials box and embedded them in different places. Only after that did he take out a fine carving knife to meticulously work on the details
After reaching adulthood, werewolves will undergo awakening as their bloodline develops and matures
Is it an uncontrollable frenzy? This requires early preparation Adam frowned
Even if he is a werewolf, he still needs to rest, not to mention that he had previously exerted himself to the fullest in a state of heightened perception, and his mental state is currently not very good
It is worth noting that the closer it gets to the night of the full moon, the faster the bloodline matures, and at the moment of awakening, even purebred werewolves find it difficult to suppress the agitation of their bloodline and become frenzied
Adele is undoubtedly fortunate, as the vampire later encountered a powerful ascetic, which allowed him to successfully escape and not become the next subject of experimentation for the vampire
At that moment, the power of the bloodline will completely blossom, revealing a strength that can be deemed miraculous, tracing back to ancestors and the past, unearthing personal talents, and forming a unique awakening ability that belongs solely to oneself
By the time evening arrived, a portion of the murals had almost come into view before Adam
In that case, those gems are no different from the stones by the roadside and hold no significance for Adam
He found that this is a good way to exercise perception, including the texture and layers of materials, the changes in color, and the speed at which materials solidify
Alva is undoubtedly a master in this regard, and Adam is not merely a helper here; at the very least, he has learned a great deal from the proportions of those materials, should he decide to pursue a career as a painter
He smiled and shook his head, took out a piece of wood, scraped the remaining material layer by layer onto the wood, then tidied up the tools and went back with the piece of wood
Adam did not rush to examine the book obtained from the blood slave, but instead immediately proceeded to rest
This manuscript contains some fragmented information recorded during his time as an assistant
From the records, it can be discerned that the true vampire continued to conduct bloodline experiments thereafter. He incessantly created blood slaves and, through various experiments, sought to transform these blood slaves into true vampires, rather than the so-called vampires who were, in fact, non-pure products masquerading as blood slaves.
Adam lowered his head to look at one layer of the toolbox, where there were still many useless gems.
Adam placed the remaining small half of the pickled vegetable pancake in his palm and fed it to the stray cat, gently rubbing the little one's head and revealing a charming smile
However, due to a failed adventure, he found himself penniless. Coupled with the high cost of potions, he could only move to the slums, which also made it convenient for him to hunt.
Before returning to the bookstore, Adam saw a stray cat by the roadside. He crouched down and waved at it.
The handwriting is very messy, there are quite a few misspellings, and the content is somewhat disjointed. Additionally, there are some diary entries with incorrect grammar, which are truly headache-inducing to read
"Indeed, who among normal people writes a diary?" Adam sat on the bed, flipping through this handwritten book with one hand
Murals can be categorized into painting types and painting craft types. The type used by Alva is the painting craft type, which can be further subdivided into several categories. Strictly speaking, this can be considered a combination of sculpture and painting
