——The following is the text——

Name: Sirt Potion

Type: Permanent Buff Potion/Permanent Debuff Potion

Quality: Silver level

Effect: No gain/debuff effects can be obtained directly after drinking.

When certain conditions are met, the gain/debuff effects will appear.

Gain effect: The effect of potion usage will be superimposed with the amount consumed.

Within two hours of drinking for the first time, all physical attributes will be increased by 3 points (except luck)

Subsequently, as the amount of drinking increases, the benefit effect will become smaller.

You can use up to 30 bottles, which can increase all body attributes by up to 25 points (except luck).

Debuff effect: Each time the user drinks this potion, the user will be given the "terrible" state.

In the "extreme terror" state, the user will face his or her innermost fears.

The duration of the "extreme terror" state is determined by the user's personal willpower, with a minimum duration of half a second and a maximum duration of 5 minutes.

After the "terrible" state ends, the user will be permanently given a layer of "malignant brand".

"Malignant Brand" can be stacked up to 30 layers, and the brand effect will not appear before 30 layers.

When the "Malignant Brand" reaches 30 levels, the user will transform from "human" to "evil-blooded human".

And transformed from "short-lived species" to "long-lived species"

"Bad-blooded humans" will lose their fertility.

"Bad Blood Humans" have the same appearance as "Vampires", but they do not have the same bloodthirsty desire as ordinary Vampires.

Introduction: The brave man who slays the dragon will eventually become the evil dragon, but in the ugly body of the evil dragon, the heart of the brave man is still beating. ——"Fire" Gene Salt.

After checking the potion information, a ridiculous idea that was somewhat unbelievable came to his mind.

However, with this ridiculous thought in his mind, he did not stop moving his hands, neatly opened the bottle of Silt's potion, put it on the tip of his nose, gently fanned it with his palm, and smelled the smell.

Well, I didn't smell anything.

Although he didn't smell anything, Xu Bai covered the potion again, handed it to the Duke, and expressed his inner conjecture.

"In other words, you are not actually a "vampire", but a "bad-blooded human" transformed from a "human"? "

The Duke nodded.

"Yes, I'm even a "blood hunter". "

"Wait, you said you are a vampire hunter?"

Xu Bai keenly discovered the problem.

If he remembered correctly, the pile of information about the vampire Earl Carter Morse that Osler gave him before contained some detailed records about the vampire common sense.

Among them is the appearance of the Vampires.

The records mentioned that as the vampires are "immortal species", their appearance is affected by both age and strength.

Take the Blood Count Carter Morse and the Blood Marquise Galice Cecil as examples.

Carter Morse looks like a majestic old man. Based on his strength as an earl, his actual age should be around 120 to 130 years old.

Gallis Cecil looks like a young woman in her 20s, but with her Marquis strength, her true age should be between 240 and 270 years old.

From this point of view, the Marquise is twice as old as the old Earl.

As for her appearance, she killed the old earl fiercely.

The middle-aged man in front of Xu Bai, who claimed to be the Duke, was not a vampire, but a "bad-blooded human" who was transformed from a human due to the use of Sirte's potion.

Although the races are different, they both belong to the category of immortal species, so the difference should not be too big.

In other words, the real age of Duke Nathan Cortez in front of Xu Bai is close to 1,000 years old!

The Hunter Guild has a total history of only 300 years.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the Duke cannot be a vampire hunter.

...

Seeing Xu Bai questioning himself, the Duke smiled helplessly and explained.

"You may not know that the real Hunter Guild died 300 years ago."

"And the Hunters Guild that still exists now is nothing more than a tool for several other blood families to eliminate dissenters from each other."

Immediately afterwards, the Duke used his slightly magnetic voice to slowly tell Xu Bai a secret that had been lost in the long river of history.

...

In ancient times.

Out of need for food, the vampires who had just come to the surface from under the Evernight Glacier of Silent Night Star quietly infiltrated into the first generation of human civilization.

They were like an evil beast lurking in the shadows, gradually eating away at the first generation of human civilization.

Soon, the first generation of human civilization disappeared under the encroachment of the vampires.

The ancient vampire race, which wiped out the first generation of human civilization, has reached its peak period.

Unlike today's vampires where a duke can support a family, in the ancient vampires at that time, there were still higher ranks above the duke.

That is the "Prince" and the "Blood Ancestor".

It is different from the six major blood families today.

In ancient times, the vampire clan had a blood ancestor and twelve princes.

Twelve princes established twelve huge vampire families.

The supreme blood ancestor, together with the princes, controls the entire blood clan.

And "Duke" was not only numerous in that era, it was far more numerous than it is now.

He didn't have the right to speak in the vampire clan like he does now.

...

In this way, the first generation of human civilization in the Land of Twilight faded in the shadow of the ancient vampires.

In order to avoid completely consuming all the food, he returned to sleep under the Evernight Glacier.

The ancient vampires retained the seeds of the survivors as food and re-established the second generation of human civilization in the Land of Dusk.

After learning the first lesson, and with the deliberate reservation and restraint of the Vampires, the second generation of human civilization took nearly 7,000 years to develop smoothly and continues to this day.

In the second generation of human civilization that continues to this day, the first person to discover the existence of vampires was not Mal Hesas who founded the current Hunter Guild 300 years ago.

But as early as 4,000 years ago, there was an old man named Gene Salt.

It was a rainy night.

A mentally disturbed low-level vampire accidentally broke into his home, wreaked havoc, killed and gnawed all his family members.

Only the old man survived because his family hid him in the attic when the vampires first broke in.

It wasn't until the mentally disturbed low-level vampire left after a meal that the old man walked out of his hiding place in the attic.

When he saw the room full of severed limbs of his relatives, he suddenly realized that his own race had been used as food and lived in the shadow of another race.

From then on, in order to change the fate of the race, the old man began to learn about occult knowledge.

At first, the old man didn't make much progress.

Until he discovered an ancient book, which recorded in detail how to summon "pollution" in the "chaotic dimension".

He spent the last time of his life analyzing the mysteries of this book.

Until the end, he used his own human blood to build a formation that could communicate with "pollution".

He expressed his appeal to "Pollution" and was willing to use everything he had in exchange for a way to fight against the vampires.

"Pollution" satisfied the old man's request and sent him a piece of parchment with a recipe for the medicine.

After delivering the parchment, "Pollution" did not charge the old man any price and proactively cut off contact.

In the days that followed, based on the records on the parchment, the old man prepared a potion that would allow ordinary people to have the power to fight against the Vampires.

After the potion was prepared, the old man had a lot of time.

In the last days of his life, he spread the method of making this potion and the truth about the existence of vampires.

That potion is the Silt potion.

Humans soon became aware of the existence of the Vampires and began to use the Silt potion to fight against the Vampires.

But everything comes with a price, and the power gained from using the Silt Potion is no exception.

When you are willing to bear the heavy price of this potion, you will be eligible to obtain the power it brings.

Human beings who drink Silt's potion will also gain powers that do not belong to humans when they endure extreme despair and pain.

When this power reaches its peak, humans will also have a long life and become "evil-blooded humans", the same immortal species as the vampires.

"Evil-blooded humans" are sterile.

actually......

For humans, immortality is a torture more terrifying than death.

It is impossible for all humans to transform into evil-blooded humans, someone must continue the bloodline.

Therefore, the families of humans who transform into immortal species after drinking the potion are often still short-lived species...

When the people you cherish leave one by one in front of your eyes and there is nothing you can do.

This heavy pain is the real price of Sirte's medicine.

In order to fight against the prosperous Vampires in ancient times, humans at that time usually chose to drink the maximum dose of Sirte's potion directly to gain maximum power and transform into immortal "bad-blooded humans" while losing their fertility.

In this way, based on the Silt Potion, more and more humans who realize the truth of the world fight against the vampires at the cost of enduring extreme pain and changing their own race.

In this context, the original "Hunter's Guild" was born.
