It has been proven that a certain degree of electric shock can have a therapeutic effect on restoring memory.
The evidence is that, after half an hour of randomly spaced and randomly sized electric shocks, Luoli Adelaide now has a crystal-clear memory of her past, even the years before she was given the Adelaide surname are now incredibly vivid.
Since the players' questions didn't have any specific focus, Luoli had no choice but to begin recounting his life in chronological order.
He was born into a small merchant family before the Demonic Tide, but because he was not the eldest son, he could not inherit the family business.
In order to make a living in the future, he learned some business management skills in his youth. Since he had no property of his own, he made a living by helping other merchants manage their businesses.
Later, he gained the trust of a nobleman through his eloquence and ability, helped him manage a manor, and eventually competed to become the nobleman's steward.
Later, when the Demonic Tide broke out, his noble employer led his people to hold out in a city.
Luoli, on the other hand, was drawn by the promise of immortality and power from Adelaide. Under the cover of night, he betrayed his employer and then delivered a series of "sir, this way" remarks, becoming a true traitor.
His ruthless methods earned him Adelaide's praise, and to demonstrate the magnanimity of vampires, he was exceptionally converted by the Grand Duke and became a vampire count.
Bennett was a marquis when he was human, but after becoming Blood Corpse, he dropped a level, showing terrible judgment when it came to choosing sides.
Unlike Bennett, who was born into nobility, Luoli was a ruthless man who would stop at nothing to climb the social ladder.
And so far, every investment he has made has been successful.
Invest in yourself to become a professional manager; bet on the elite to win in the power struggles within your inner circle and become their steward; then betray them at the last minute and become a vampire.
Looking at the numerous records before them, the players listening in couldn't help but feel a growing wariness towards the old man before them.
Does Blood Corpse have to speak?
Or we could seal his mouth shut; that would be safer.
Two players who had enabled private microphones were whispering to each other in the chat channel:
"Hey, how come all the Blood Corpse are so morally corrupt? Bennett was a nobleman who surrendered his city, Luoli was a traitor who betrayed his master..."
"Perhaps this is a case of birds of a feather flocking together. Those who were truly brave and resolute probably all died in the Blood Corpse chaos a hundred years ago. Only spineless cowards would join the vampires and become one of them."
"That makes sense. It's true what they say, bad things last a thousand years! If one count is this wicked, who knows how wicked the other grand dukes must be?"
"That's right, that's right..."
As the two continued their conversation, Luoli's story progressed to several years after he became a vampire.
The two chatted casually, exchanging messages less and less frequently, because...
The story seems to have taken an interesting turn?
The timeline moves to a year after Luoli became Blood Corpse, and a terrifying Corpse Tide has swept across half the continent.
As the intensity of the Demonic Tide gradually increases, the power that vampires extract from it also continuously grows.
In addition to their ability to assimilate any race into Blood Corpse, it can be said that the strength of the vampire race is constantly rising.
Luoli lowered his head and spoke in a flat, emotionless voice:
One day, the four grand dukes gathered in Klaf City, one of the largest cities in the northern part of the kingdom, seemingly to discuss the next steps in their military campaign.
The meeting was proceeding slowly, seemingly because some of the adults were not feeling well...
"On the last day of the conference, two..."
At this point, Luoli suddenly straightened his back, staring blankly ahead, and said, word by word:
" Short-Eared Elf!"
Then his body slumped down again, as if the human-machine interaction had never happened:
"... The two of them appeared in the city in an instant, and without saying a word, they began fighting the dukes..."
The players listening nearby were stunned, and even the player taking notes had stopped writing at some point.
Fortunately, he had turned on the system's recording function beforehand; otherwise, a crucial part of his statement would likely have been missing.
The reason is simple: this is not the first time players have heard the special term " Short-Eared Elf," a combination of three Kingdoms words.
Moreover, all the NPCs in this world, from the vampire count to the innkeeper, will immediately enter a human-machine state similar to system debugging when this word is mentioned.
This meme-like situation had already been recorded by players and uploaded to their encyclopedias, so it wasn't a secret among the player community.
Because the sample size is too small, it can be confirmed that Low Tier memes are not resistant to this meme, while Middle Tier- and High Tier memes have not yet been tested.
Firstly, there are very few mid-to -High Tier individuals, and secondly, it is quite difficult to get them to utter a word that is completely unrelated to the current conversation.
The NPCs in this World of Disorder are all living, breathing individuals; you can't just make them say whatever you want.
However, with the appearance of the term " Short-Eared Elf," [ Do Some Farm Work ] is now certain that this information can fetch a decent price.
The players weren't the only ones surprised; Ed, who was spying on the screen, was equally astonished.
He had only intended to use the eyes of the Soul Returner to observe what indescribable tortures they would inflict on a wild vampire, but he inadvertently overheard something that concerned him deeply.
Hurry up and tell us, keep going...
Ed was so impatient he almost wanted to urge the author to update the story himself, but in order to maintain his current persona, he chose not to intervene directly and simply continued to listen quietly.
Luoli recounted:
"The battle was swift; the city was completely destroyed by the aftershocks within seconds..."
"My rank was too low; I wasn't even qualified to enter the city to guard it or enjoy the blood feast, so I'm very fortunate to have escaped this calamity."
At this point, the quick-witted [ Do Some Farm Work ] suddenly interrupted:
"Escaped death? You mean all the vampires in the city, whether they were grand dukes, dukes, or marquises, are dead?"
Luoli seemed a little uncomfortable being interrupted for the first time.
He thought for a moment and said:
"No, I thought so at first too, until... I felt the connection between Lady Adelaide and me being forcibly interfered with by a force, eventually becoming extremely weak..."
"Later I learned that it was a seal..."
"Please continue."
