“The thirteenth opening?” Bai Ju felt that the number was a bit strange, but he couldn’t understand it, “What’s so special about it?”
A Song subconsciously looked towards the Haiyin Castle in the distance, and his tail under the water shook involuntarily: “…at that time, it will explode.”
“In Western Shinto, the number thirteen represents disaster, betrayal, misfortune and darkness.” A Song explained, “Therefore, for Western monsters that work contrary to Western Shinto, the thirteenth inheritance is supposed to be the most powerful one, which means the possibility of breakthrough and reversal.”
Bai Ju roughly understood that since there were similar things in China. It was nothing more than a certain carrier being given the meaning of Shinto, which then became a natural magic weapon or something like that.
Following the words of the mermaid A Song, Bai Ju asked: “In other words, the thirteenth inheritance of the vampire may explode with unprecedented powerful force?”
A Song nodded: “Bai Wang, I think you also know the way vampires reproduce and inherit. This way will make them weaker and weaker; and the thirteenth inheritance is an opportunity for reversal. The descendants who obtain this inheritance may obtain the same level of power as the owner of the inheritance.”
“The first vampires who moved into Haiyin Castle and left their inheritance were the fifth generation, and the tenth to twelfth generations live here now,” A Song said, “The twelfth generation is the weakest generation of vampires. Generally speaking, they can’t withstand such a powerful inheritance. Vampires within about eight generations are more reliable. Therefore, in order to protect this inheritance, Haiyin Castle is likely to invite a new demon king to move in, let him accept the inheritance, and then lead and protect them.”
“That’s right.” Bai Ju’s heart suddenly relaxed, and he finally found the key to this matter.
If the inheritance of Haiyin Castle had been here for many years and had always been a good fruit, then even if someone had set their eyes on it, they would most likely be deterred by the combat effectiveness of the members of Haiyin Castle; but now, this fruit was ripe and juicy, and it could be called a top-grade product. The benefits thus outweighed the risks, so those who wanted to take action would naturally start to act.
He just didn’t know if the person who opened the thirteenth inheritance would be the one they were looking for.
Bai Ju narrowed his eyes slightly, gathered his thoughts, and confirmed: “Are you sure they will be willing to accept an alien demon king?”
A Song smiled bitterly and nodded: “I’m sure… our tribe has seen such things before. That is when the seventh inheritance was opened, there was also a small outbreak. At that time, the predecessors of the mermaid tribe tried to steal more energy from them but were killed by an alien vampire and four more were seriously injured. The vampire was an eighth-generation vampire who just left here twenty years ago and returned to his country to study medicine; before that, he had been in charge here for more than two hundred years.”
Bai Ju was secretly amazed. The world was full of wonders. He didn’t quite understand the obedience relationship between vampires, but he himself would not be willing to tolerate a strange big monster taking his treasure and robbing his territory.
After asking for useful information, Bai Ju no longer made things difficult for the little mermaid. He just lowered his head and whispered, “I can help you differentiate into a male.”
A Song: “!”
A Song couldn’t help but pat his tail and eagerly stretch out his entire upper body: “Bai Wang, really?!”
Bai Ju nodded and said, “The Monster Management Bureau is short of people now.”
A Song understood and knew that Bai Ju was negotiating conditions with him; joining the Monster Management Bureau was not a bad thing, so he opened his mouth and wanted to agree but was pressed down by Bai Ju’s hand.
“Your power is still a little short of differentiation,” Bai Ju said, “don’t rush to make a decision now.”
“We will also communicate with Jing Xia and understand his ideas, but the key to the problem is with you. Mermaids are cannibals, and male mermaids are even more ferocious. They have always hunted humans to show their strength.”
The tips of Bai Ju’s teeth shone faintly in the cold moonlight, and his words were blunt and harsh: “Your power is valuable, but you are not worthy of our trust.”
A Song was speechless, and just when he was getting excited, he seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water.
Bai Ju was right.
They, the mermaids, did have such a habit. To be honest, although he would not hunt and kill living people now, but he would also feel greedy for human flesh and blood; and occasionally when there was a shipwreck, he would sneak to the sea where the human bodies were floating and smell around them for a few laps; but he dared not bite, for fear that he would break the taboo and not be able to help but eat living people.
He also didn’t know what he would do to humans after he differentiated into a male- but he had always believed that he had endured it for so many years, so after differentiation, he should not be controlled by his appetite.
“You should conceal the most important people and the most important things… while there is still a chance.” Bai Ju’s voice was a little low and was blown away by the sea breeze. It seemed to be there and then gone but it pierced deeply into A Song’s heart, “Jing Xia is a good child, but the object of cultivation that the colonized spirit physical energy relies on is not unique.”
“… Thank you, Bai Wang, for your warning.” The merman slowly lowered his head, his eyes looking at the water and his thoughts a little confused, “I… I will think about this matter carefully, Jing Xia is the child I raised, and I don’t want to…” I don’t want to stick my sharp teeth into Jing Xia’s body at the most brutal moment after differentiation.
“It can be seen that you have no bad intentions and your experience is still shallow.” Bai Ju slowed down his tone, “I have seen many people and things. Before drug addicts touch drugs, they also think that their lives will not be controlled by drug addiction.”
“Differentiation is risky, whether it is for you or Jing Xia.” Bai Ju raised his head and looked in the direction where Xiao Yao stayed, then his expression softened slightly, “What choice will you make, I have no right to influence, but Jing Xia has the right to know these.”
“I know. “A Song nodded and bit his lip, “I… I will find a way to tell him.”
“Yeah.” Bai Ju waved his hand and removed the restrictions around him, “You take a rest and think carefully about what you should think about.”
….
The tide rose and fell on the sea. The mermaid A Song floated quietly in the remote bay for a long time. He then raised his hand and looked at his thin fingers.
He needed to be stronger… He took a deep breath and looked at the dark sea rolling in the night. His slightly immature face slowly tensed up. In his clear eyes, the flames of pride and stubbornness were burning.
