Teresa Belmonte is the granddaughter of Rion Belmonte. In terms of family branch bloodline, her great-grandfather was Carlo Belmonte, the son of the previous two generations of patriarchs. In terms of bloodline purity,

Her bloodline is not considered high among the side bloodlines in the villages in the castle territory. If there are no accidents, her descendants will definitely be moved out of the Belmont Castle territory and become members of the distant branch of the family. At that time, they will want to return to Belmont.

Castle territory is almost impossible.

In several villages and towns in the territory of Belmont Castle, there are many people like Theresa Belmont. Under normal circumstances, Theresa does not receive much attention, but today it is different. Theresa Belmont

Together with the other two tribesmen, they have become the envy and jealousy of all the branch tribesmen in the Belmont Castle territory, because they were extremely lucky to be selected three days ago to participate in the bloodline sacrificial ceremony that will be held in the castle today.

For those members of the Belmont family who do not live in the castle, every bloodline sacrificial ceremony is an opportunity for them to rise to the top. In name, the sacrificial ceremony is only for the direct lineage members, but before each ceremony, the patriarch will learn from the sidelineage members.

A few people are selected to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. The number is not uniform. Sometimes there are more than a dozen people, and sometimes there are none. As for the selection method, it is not based on which of the side branches has the highest blood purity, but based entirely on

Determined by luck of the draw.

It was precisely because the qualification to participate in the ceremony was purely due to luck, so when Theresa Belmonte, who was selected, learned that she had obtained this qualification, her inner surprise could not be described in words. Her excitement caused her to act like this

I have been in an extremely excited state for several days, and today I had to take medicine to relieve this excitement.

"... Your position will not be tested. According to the past rules, you should be standing next to the Tyrell family. When the time comes, you only need to stand there, don't talk, and do whatever others do...

…" The old man who had participated in the sacrificial ceremony at home stood nearby, watching Teresa's sisters help her organize her clothes, checking whether there were any omissions, and at the same time very seriously taught her the rules and practices for participating in the ceremony.

This is not the first time Theresa has heard these words of experience. Ever since she obtained the qualification, the family elder has narrated them every day. She also feels that she knows these words of experience by heart, but now she is still taking them seriously.

He listened and repeated it in his mind.

It’s no wonder that she takes this matter so seriously, because the ritual ceremony is the top priority of the family. Once she makes any mistakes during the ritual ceremony, what awaits her will not just be ordinary punishment, but can range from being expelled from the family.

The worst case scenario would be to execute him directly, as there is precedent for this.

"... If you are lucky, your bloodline will be greatly improved during the ceremony. No matter how painful it is, you must endure it and don't do anything rude," the old man continued, and then walked from the side

The tribesman took a box and handed it to Teresa, saying: "If you really can't bear it anymore, just take the medicine in the box. This medicine can inhibit the increase of blood vessels and greatly alleviate the pain caused by the increase of blood vessels.

It's painful, but you must remember that once you take the medicine, the ritual is over for you, because your bloodline will not improve any more, so don't take this medicine unless you have to.

medicine."

Teresa heard what the old man said, and quickly took the box and kept it close to her body. Although she took the box, she didn't mind it. She believed in her endurance and thought that she would never use this medicine.

After completing the final inspection, Theresa, escorted by her family, boarded the carriage prepared by the castle and drove towards the family castle on the lava lake. On the road, there were many tribesmen from the territorial villages and towns rushing towards the castle.

In the past, they were not able to enter the castle to participate in the ceremony, but they would choose to stay on the edge of the lava lake, close to the castle.

Although it is announced that only those who participate in the sacrificial rituals in the castle can benefit from it, the effects of the rituals are not limited to the castle. There will still be some ritual power that will spread out of the castle and to the surrounding areas.

People in this area can also more or less receive some bloodline benefits.

The carriage soon arrived at the lava lake and stepped onto the bridge leading to the castle. At this time, Teresa opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, seeing that the side of the lava lake was already filled with family members from the branch.

When these side branch members saw the carriage she was riding in, they all had extremely obvious looks of envy and jealousy on their faces. Some of them were big figures from the side branch that she could only look up to in the past. This kind of jealousy and jealousy

The feeling of envy made Teresa feel extremely satisfied, and she even had the thought that the trip was worth it, but she quickly dispelled this thought, and secretly vowed in her heart that her bloodline would be improved during the ceremony.

, let yourself become a direct clan member, and let the state of being noticed just now stay with you forever.

After the carriage entered the castle, it stopped in a small square. After Teresa got off the car, before she had time to take a closer look at the buildings and scenery in the castle, she was led by the servants of the castle and rushed towards the ceremony platform.

.

Although the person responsible for leading the way was a servant, Teresa did not dare to underestimate him. This was not because the other party often came into contact with people in the castle, but because the other party himself was one of the direct clan members and had pure blood.

He is much higher than her. Being a servant is just an experience for him. Once he completes the experience, he will be sent to other places to become a big shot whose status is much higher than hers, so she doesn't dare to follow him.

Any disrespectful behavior.

I don’t know whether her performance satisfied the other party, or whether the other party was just doing routine work. On the way to the ceremony platform, the servant tribesman leisurely told Teresa some rules for participating in the ceremony.

Most of these contents are similar to what Teresa heard from the elders of the family before, with only one or two details that are slightly different.

Soon the two people, one behind the other, came to the ceremony platform. At this time, most of the direct members of the castle had already stood in their fixed positions waiting for the ceremony to begin. Teresa was led by the servant to a place at the back.

, on both sides of her were other lucky people who were on the side of the branch. They did not talk, but nodded to each other, which was regarded as saying hello.

Teresa glanced at the surrounding situation, and her eyes quickly fell on the abyss dragon outside the platform.

Although this Abyss Demonic Dragon could also be seen at the edge of the lava lake, standing in this position and seeing this Abyss Demonic Dragon so close, the strange feeling was completely different. She even felt it on her body.

Her bloodline was being affected subtly and slowly improving. This was a feeling she had never experienced before, and she couldn't help but immerse herself in it.

At this time, the atmosphere on the platform was very serious. Everyone stood quietly without talking. As more and more people arrived on the platform, there were fewer and fewer empty seats on the platform, and eventually they were all filled.

Teresa also recovered from the fuzzy state of sensing changes in her body and glanced around again. This time her eyes no longer stayed on the abyss dragon, but looked at the special one on the platform.

The reason why she pays so much attention to the two viewing seats set up is because these two seats are the only seats on the entire ceremony platform, which means that everyone must stand during the ceremony.

Only these two special spectators can sit.

Discussions about the identity of the two spectators had moved from inside the castle to outside the castle several days ago. Teresa also heard something about the identities of the two spectators while chatting with her family members.

The male spectator was said to be a professor from the City of Academics. He was highly intelligent and had the title of the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge, which sounded very impressive.

However, that was all the conversation about the man. The person who really attracted the attention of the family branch was actually another female spectator.

Teresa knew that this female spectator was a member of a very ancient family branch. Her appearance was very similar to Queen Teresa's, and she had extremely high blood purity. It was said that even the old patriarch's blood was far from pure in terms of purity.

In contrast, there are also some unreliable rumors saying that the female spectator has almost divine power and that the female spectator comes from other worlds.

After Teresa learned some things about the female spectator, she was both envious and worshipful of the female spectator. Of course, there was also some jealousy. In her opinion, a branch, and also a female, could reach such a high level within the family.

The status and height of the female spectator were already extraordinary, and the female spectator's current family status was her future goal.

As a bell rang, the old Duke, Earl Belmont and the two spectators walked out of the lounge not far away and came to the ceremony platform.

After the two spectators arrived on the platform, they sat directly on the prepared chairs without any hesitation or being affected by the sight of other people on the platform. The careful Teresa could find that the two people who sat down had both hands at the same time.

They were playing with two hollow metal balls, and the metal balls would emit a faint light from time to time as they turned in their hands.

The old Duke, who had already changed into a priest's attire, came to the altar facing the Abyss Demonic Dragon Cub. Earl Belmont stood beside him as a ritual assistant. After standing in his position, the old Duke took the altar from Earl Belmont.

A metal basin inlaid with gems, and then took the blood bag prepared in advance, and introduced the collected direct blood of the family stored in it into the basin, then took a small hanging incense burner, and hung the incense burner on the altar

On the blood basin, make it rotate at a constant speed, and at the same time, chant the ritual prayers loudly while rotating.

After the old Duke finished singing the first time, other people on the platform also joined in at the right time, and began to sing the second time and the third part under the leadership of the old Duke. Soon everyone on the platform entered the process of singing.

A state of spiritual resonance. At the same time, this spiritual resonance also prompted their bloodlines to begin to connect with each other, forming a short-lived symbiotic state.

At the same time, the blood of the Belmont clan members in the blood basin under the incense burner also boiled like boiling water, and turned into wisps of red mist, which merged into the smoke of the incense burner and never dispersed.

, extending towards the abyss dragon cub in front like a tentacle.

Soon the blood mist came into contact with the skin scales of the Abyss Demon Dragon cub, and penetrated into it without any hindrance, blending into the flesh and blood of the Abyss Demon Dragon cub, and then integrated into this kind of product created by the Belmont family through a special method.

Within the temporary symbiote state.

At the moment when the abyss dragon cub merged into the symbiote state, all the Belmont family members on the ceremony platform fell into a wonderful mental hallucination. In their respective mental hallucinations, they turned into heads and heads.

Stimulated by this mental hallucination, the bloodlines of different abyss dragon cubs began to increase at a very normal speed.

At the same time, the fused blood and spirit also turned into a special blood force field, and spread around. It soon spread out of the castle and covered the edge of the lava lake. Bell in this area

Although people from the Monte family branches were unable to integrate into the temporary symbiosis on the ritual platform, they still invariably felt that their bloodline began to change significantly under the influence of the force field. Some people could not even control the changes in their bloodline, and began to have symptoms on their bodies.

The mutation of demonic dragon transformation.

At the same time, the blood force field also spread to the lava lake below the castle, covering all the abyss dragons below. However, under the influence of the force field, these abyss dragons also entered a state of

In the symbiosis state, golden rails filled with runes appeared around these abyss dragons, and like some kind of celestial instrument, they quickly rotated according to their respective trajectories, and soon formed a transparent seal.

The boundary force field isolated several abyss dragons that had just tried to integrate into the temporary symbiosis on the ritual platform within the sealed boundary.

At the same time, the state of the temporary symbiosis in which the spirit and body are connected at the same time did not disappear. Instead, it continued to operate normally in the sealed boundary, and several abyss dragons were connected into an independent temporary symbiosis.

At this time, almost at the same time, a ray of light shot out from the tip of a tower-like object at the bottom of the castle and the top of the water dropship at the bottom of the lava lake, directly penetrating the outer wall of the seal and hitting the abyss dragon in the middle, connecting to form

A light path ran through the lava lake up and down, and at the same time, a few traces of blood mist seeped out from the surrounding abyss dragons. Under the action of the rune guides inside the seal, they began to flow into the body of the abyss dragon in the middle.
