116. Werewolves and Vampires
"Lucian?" William thought the name was very familiar. "I remember the book mentioned that there was a werewolf leader named Lucian in the struggle between vampires and werewolfs."
"Yes, that's a wolf leader who rose after the heresy trial. What we are looking for is this werewolf."
"How is this possible? He is at least 500 years old?" William said in surprise. In his impression, werewolf cannot live for so long.
"Lucian is the descendant of werewolf. The descendants of werewolf have the ability to live forever, and they can break the curse and transform at will." The old man said, which means that Lupin cannot live forever, but he and the descendants of werewolf can do it.
"You mean the curse of the moon?" William said
"That's right." The old man smiled and looked at William's curious expression and said, "When you were young, I told you stories about vampires and werewolfs, and you liked to listen to them at that time. Today I will tell you again." The old man slowed down and said.
"In ancient times, plague broke out in Europe and people died one after another. A young man named Kovinus in the village saw such a tragic situation. In order to survive and get rid of the plague, he learned the origin of life. Later, he was the only one who survived. There were 3 descendants of Kovinus. Unfortunately, one of the three was bitten by a bat infected with the virus, and the other was bitten by a wolf infected with the virus. Only one survived in a complete form. His two brothers mutated due to virus infection, one became the ancestor of vampire and the other became the ancestor of werewolf."
"Vampires and werewolf have formed their own families respectively, and they have their own abilities. Vampires did not suck human blood at first, but as vampires, all their personality traits were amplified. The originally proud became more proud, and the originally conceited became more conceited. They began to be obsessed with human blood, and they did not know how the vampires who had first embraced sucked human blood dry. Many villages were left with only one mummy corpse. After the werewolf transformed, they became extremely violent and lost their minds. The consequences they caused were almost the same as those of vampires. Moreover, there were also various small disputes between werewolf and vampires. The bites of werewolf are fatal to vampires. As a result, the small disputes continued to expand, and the two tribes gradually became incompatible."
"Aren't their ancestors two brothers?" William said
"Not bad. However, even the two brothers, when they have their own power, they cannot only think about their personal emotions." The old man continued, "The druids believe that vampires and werewolfs have broken the balance of nature. They used the lives of the most powerful elders of the druids as a price to curse all bitten werewolfs and transformed vampires in the world on the full moon night, so that all bitten werewolfs can only become werewolfs on the full moon night. All vampires are afraid of the sunlight and will be burned in the sunlight. This is the sun and moon curse of vampires and werewolfs."
"Can't this curse be broken?" William asked
"There is no curse in the world that cannot be broken, but the Druids are the guardians of nature. They use the power of nature and the lives of 12 powerful wizards as the price. This combination is unbreakable. Moreover, no one knows where the curse is sealed, and the association has been looking for it, and there is no gain." The old man said with a cigar.
"But are the descendants of werewolfs able to break the curse?"
"Indeed, this was something that the Druids did not expect at that time, because there were no descendants of werewolfs at that time."
"What did he do in Lucian?" William asked
"Lucian is a werewolf leader with some qualifications. He protected many werewolfs in the era of the Great Trial, and then he hid. The association has been paying attention to his news for centuries. Not long ago, a werewolf reported to the association that Lucian had arrived in Hungary, and then we discovered several werewolf attacks. Because it was not yet full moon night, the association believed that it could only be done by Lucian, who could transform at will." The old man spitted out smoke rings.
"He has been hiding for so long, why is he so obviously exposing himself now?" William analyzed
"That's right" the old man looked at William with admiration. "That's what we want to know."
"Then grandpa, tell me if there is news." William suddenly smiled, with a cunning light in his eyes.
The old man was stunned and then understood William's scrupulousness. The old man told William these secrets, hoping that William could participate in the investigation, because William was the person the old man trusted. William discovered the old man's thoughts and played a trick of hard-to-get. If you want me to investigate, unless you give me some benefits, William thought so. Finally, he would not let him go.
"Tell me, what do you want?" The old man said bluntly. He looked at William with a smile. This kid had so many tricks.
"Oh, I want a pair of gloves, and my hands are often injured recently," said William, who is the birthday gift that William wants.
"What else?" The old man understood that what William said would not be so simple
"I want to learn magic circles, magic circles that can peel off the soul." William said seriously that the success rate of the magic circles that William prepared before was too low, and William really dared not try it, so he could only let one soul go.
"Soul stripping? What did you find?" the old man said with a frown.
"It's a Horcrux" William honestly said
"Why do you come into contact with such evil black magic? It will split your soul!" The old man spoke a little sternly. William felt a sense of pressure from every cell in his body. Bill in the distance turned around and looked at the two men.
"I'm not trying to make a Horcrux, I want to destroy a Horcrux." William silently used his magic to drive away the uncomfortable feeling.
"Even if you destroy the Horcrux, there is a danger of soul encroachment. You are still too forced now." The old man threw away the cigar in his hand.
"So you have to teach me, if you don't teach me, I'll be in danger." William said flatteringly
"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. No magic is risky. The magic you said is too risky. I can't let you get involved in Horcrux magic." Grandpa William said
"Then you don't plan to help your grandson anymore. Oh, grandpa, please see me more." William showed off a farewell expression
"You unfilial grandson, my old man's life will be lost sooner or later." Grandpa William said hatefully, "You can teach you, you have to promise me three things."
"Three pieces? Too many, one piece is enough" William stretched out a finger
"You still want to bargain?" the old man asked with his eyes narrowed.
"No, no, no, three items are only three," William quickly waved his hand and said, secretly complaining to the old man that he refused to suffer any loss.
"The first thing is to find Lucian and tell him that the association wants to cooperate with him. To show sincerity, you give him this box." The old man took out an old wooden box from his clothes, which was only half the size of a palm.
"What's inside?" William asked the old man without opening it.
"There are moon stones inside, which can suppress people's irritability and impulsivity." The old man said without hiding it. These stones are very rare. They are more important than gold for werewolfs with irritable and impulsive personality. If there are any shortcomings of werewolfs, it is that their personality has flaws.
"You don't have to think about other things. You will leave for Hungary tomorrow morning." The old man said to William apologetically.
