085 The Demon King and Hell
With the joint efforts of the two, the details continued to be improved, and the portrait became more and more sketched. Anne pushed Gu Aotian away in the middle and refused to let him see it, and then began to restore all the facial details and shadows.
After busy for a long time, Annie came to Gu Aotian with her hands behind her back: "Are you ready?"
"Yeah, come on."
"Daodu!" Annie showed the whole painting to Gu Aotian.
Gu Aotian was shocked. This was an excellent sketch.
Gu Aotian on the painting has already put on a white coat and a white shirt inside. His face is also angular. He is raising his glasses at this time, neat and refreshing. You can imagine that it is good to change into a suit.
"That's how it should be!" Gu Aotian looked at the drawing paper excitedly, "Thank you Annie, thank you so much, I feel like I remembered it."
"Hehe." Annie handed the painting to Gu Aotian, "I'll give it to you, hang it on the wall."
"Thank you." Gu Aotian took the portrait and said while looking at it, "We will make one for Ling Yue when we have time."
"Okay, I like painting." Annie said to Gu Aotian on the painting, "It's really cool, I'm looking forward to it even more. I really don't understand what is wrong with restoring the body?"
"Well... the trouble lies not in the result, but in the process." Gu Aotian held the painting and fell into hesitation for a few moments. "For this goal, I may do a lot of excessive things. To be honest, when I killed Morgan, I saw my most despicable and cruel side. My reason told me that this was right and conveyed this belief to Ling Yue and Weiwei, but my sensibility told me that if I continue to move on like this, maybe-"
Gu Aotian turned his head and stared at Annie: "I will become a real demon king."
Looking at Gu Aotian, Annie's fingers unconsciously pressed against her lips, frowned and thoughtful.
"Do you understand what I mean?" Gu Aotian continued, "Morgan didn't actually think he was a bad person. Every time he did something bad, his thinking would make some excuses him. People are not transformed into villains, but are degenerate and accumulation bit by bit. I'm afraid that one day I will become like that, and without realizing it, subtly..."
"You are different from him. I understand your situation. Let me think about it again." Annie raised her hand and signaled that Gu Aotian did not need to explain more, and continued to lower her head and press her fingers against her lips to ponder.
After a long time, she suddenly looked up and her eyes were blue: "Aotian, what is the Demon King?"
Gu Aotian said without hesitation: "It is probably a villain who abandons kindness and principles, and for his own purposes, does not consider the feelings of others, nor does he consider the rise and fall of the world."
"If this is the definition, Aotian-" Anne tilted her head, "That's how the Pope is."
Gu Aotian fell into silence, followed by deep thought.
Annie said, "Do you know why Ellie hides her identity? Because hundreds of years ago, the Pope issued a secret order to eliminate the blood clan. After that, all kinds of news about catching wind and shadows blew out from various corners. People began to believe that the blood clan is evil, the offspring of the demon, the undead disguised as humans, and will not be able to control themselves from sucking the blood of living people around at night."
She said as she looked at Gu Aotian, her eyes were already blood red: "The word 'vampire' appeared at that time. We are not this thing, we are the blood clan. Now we know why we hate being called vampires."
"I apologize for my past loss of justice."
"No, I didn't mean that. I called you a skeleton at the beginning, didn't I? They are all inertial thinking. People who are pulled by inertial are not guilty, and people who are inertial infancy are creating inertial."
Gu Aotian thought, "Indeed, the word "blood clan" has never appeared in all the books I have read, and more of them are vampires. I always have doubts about this matter. If the blood clan is the enemy of human beings, then why did the Lich King Fen destroy the blood clan? Fen should have strong wisdom, and she should not be a demon that destroys everything."
"Hahahaha... Of course, Fen wants to destroy the blood clan." Annie smiled miserably, "because the blood clan is the most loyal guardian of the human world and the most powerful enemy blocking the Lich King formation."
“???”
"That was the most glorious era of the blood clan. We had tens of thousands of people living in the human world and were well-deserved nobles. The so-called four royal tribes were just a group of smelly, dirty mobs in front of the blood clan. It was precisely to protect the homeland of our lives that the blood clan and Fen fought to the death. Half of the human world could last for so long was the contribution of the blood clan."
Gu Aotian reacted for a long time before asking: "Blood tribe, fight for the human world?"
Annie said angrily: "More fundamental than this, the blood clan is simply a member of the human world, and it is no different from the races you see now."
"But there is no record in the book......" Gu Aotian slapped the bookshelf with a irritable affair. "History books, damn history books, even Professor Langdon is not trustworthy."
Anne's mood was also a little upset, her voice was low and slow: "After the war, there were only a few hundred people left in the blood clan, but these hundreds of people inherited the property and land equivalent to half of the world, which is easy to bully, right? What happened later was obvious. The pope and the so-called four royal tribes secretly united, causing hatred for the blood clan in the human world. They clearly coveted our wealth and land, but they were named our "devil". We sacrificed more than 90% of the tribesmen to defend the world, but they were wiped out."
Anne said word by word: "They plunder our property, they occupy our castles, they divide our territory, they kill our children, they tamper with our honor, they trampled our dignity on their feet--they call us, vampires."
Even Gu Aotian, who was as calm as iron, felt the same way at this time, and the flames of revenge burned him all over.
"Each castle of the four royal tribes was once the home of the blood clan. Every evil vampire in the story is a hero who once defended the world." Anne grabbed the corner of her skirt and lowered her head. It took her a long time to calm down. The blood red eyes gradually faded away. "The remaining blood clan had to embark on the road of escape, hiding his identity on the edge of the world, not asking about the world, for fear of being killed again."
Annie said as she looked at Gu Aotian, pointing to her eyes and said, "In the eyes of the blood clan, the pope is the devil, and the human heart is hell. I will never forget this even if I die 100 times."
Long-lasting silence.
Gu Aotian re-cluttered every related historical event and biography, and many vague places were solved, and more conclusive evidence appeared in the field of architecture. Before Fen's death, all the castles built in the human world followed a certain Gothic aesthetic style, but the newly built castles were classified according to the characteristics and culture of each race, and there were many different types.
This indicates that there was once a unique aristocratic culture!
