Hearing Seline's answer, Javier shook his head and smiled.
It seemed the relationship between Seline and Viktor, the Vampire Elder, wasn't that close yet.
Although he was her adoptive father, he was merely that; Seline didn't consider him her real biological father, and an hierarchical gap still existed between them.
This was good… It meant Seline had sufficient psychological preparation to accept that Viktor was the culprit behind her family's murder, so she wouldn't fall into emotional self-isolation and depression upon hearing such a melodramatic revelation!
"Viktor isn't the father I imagined?"
"Viktor was never my father; he's just an adoptive father, and I can distinguish that clearly. What nonsense are you talking about? Never mind that for now,"
"I'm thinking about how to deal with the Werewolves' Ultraviolet Bullet weapons. Those Ultraviolet Bullets are extremely harmful to Vampires."
"If not handled properly, many Vampire Warriors will perish. To avoid this loss, we must overcome this problem."
Facing Javier's riddle-like words, Seline, whose mind was elsewhere, couldn't comprehend them at all, finding them utterly baffling.
Instead, she was very concerned about the war between Vampires and Werewolves, her mind entirely focused on how to solve the Ultraviolet Bullet problem.
Therefore, she directly questioned Javier, "Since this guy is a Divine Emissary, then he should fully utilize his power as a Divine Emissary."
As long as he could help Vampires solve this problem, even if Seline knew Javier was a charlatan full of hot air, she could still reluctantly believe he was a Divine Emissary.
After all… When a person can handle any problem omnipotently, even if that person isn't a Divine Emissary sent by God, what difference is there between them and a true Divine Emissary? The answer is none! That person is the true Divine Emissary!
Conversely… If it were a true Divine Emissary, they might not even offer help to Vampires. Seline knew that Vampires were anomalies in the world; once discovered by the outside, they might be swiftly eradicated!
After all, no matter how strong their Vampire power was, they had to admit one thing: the intellectual power of humans was truly terrifying.
The increase in Vampire speed and strength was insignificant in the face of human intellectual power. Vampires had always disguised themselves as humans and absorbed human knowledge to grow stronger.
If physical enhancements like speed and strength were set aside, Vampires were actually no different from humans; they were, in fact, inferior products!
After all, Medieval knight armor, crossbows, swords, spears, and halberds were all invented by humans, and Vampires would also wear human armor to arm themselves for battle.
In modern times, humans invented firearms and entered the era of hot weapons, with various weapons constantly emerging. Vampires also marveled at the power of hot weapons and incorporated them into their own weapon reserves.
Like humans, Vampires relied heavily on the power of hot weapons.
And now, human technology continued to develop, but Vampires were always the backward party, especially with their fear of sunlight. As nocturnal creatures, the Night Clan, even if their vitality was tenacious, if they encountered the biohazard FBC satellite weapon, the Sun God, which destroyed the floating island, even if they hid in a castle, one blast of Sun God thermal radiation, with the satellite gathering the sun's thermal energy, their Vampire lair would probably instantly vanish!
Therefore, Seline would not, like other Vampires, view humans with extremely narrow and discriminatory eyes, or even treat them as livestock like pigs, cattle, and sheep for food.
On the contrary… Seline believed that humans should be held in a certain awe. These seemingly harmless creatures possessed the powerful ability to annihilate Vampires at any time, even more terrifying than their sworn enemies, the Werewolves!
So, since Javier was a Divine Emissary and also a human, he should have enough intelligence to help her solve this problem.
"…"
On the other side, Javier fell into a long silence listening to Seline's words.
He had thought Vampires would be much smarter than Werewolves, even that each of them could rival highly intelligent humans, and that only their arrogant and conceited nature made them appear very foolish on screen.
But now, Javier felt that Vampires might genuinely have low intelligence, rather than just being arrogant and conceited.
For example, Seline, this woman was usually quite intelligent, so why couldn't she even figure out a simple brain teaser now? Her way of looking at problems was too rigid!
And so… "Question: Why can bullets fired from hot weapons cause huge damage to the human body?"
Raising a finger, Javier, standing, suddenly asked Seline. The answer to this question was actually the best way to crack the Ultraviolet Bullet problem.
However, it was clear that Seline's mind still hadn't turned the corner, and she still instinctively answered very directly and rigidly:
"Because the energy released by the burning gunpowder can make the hard bullet head generate high-speed rotational kinetic energy in the air, and these instantaneously explosive energies,"
"The fragile flesh of the human body cannot stop them, so bullets can easily penetrate flesh and cause very serious damage. The key is speed + hard bullet head."
"There's an ancient saying in the distant East, 'Among all martial arts, only the unbreakable and the fastest are supreme.' I saw this in a wuxia novel on my laptop."
"Although it describes martial arts, I think it applies to hot weapon bullets, because hot weapon bullets are all about speed and hardness!"
Javier: "???…"
Facing the question Javier posed, Seline answered in a daze, even offering her own set of insights, which made Javier, beside her, look very helpless.
So, she had even researched this? And "Among all martial arts, only the unbreakable and the fastest are supreme," she said it so eloquently, a martial arts prodigy!
You shouldn't be a Vampire; you should go learn ancient Chinese martial arts.
Maybe you could directly open your meridians and transform into a legendary, one-in-a-million peerless master!
"…"
"Last question: What is the opposite of a spear?"
Taking a deep breath, Javier, not giving up, still intended to ask Seline a question to enlighten her.
"A shield, spear and shield—!"
And facing this elementary-school-level question, Seline immediately answered quickly. She believed this answer would absolutely have no problems, and in fact, Seline was indeed correct, so this was the key of keys.
"So, the solution is a shield!"
With an expression of 'you finally get it, child,' Javier couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, exclaiming, this female Vampire couldn't be that foolish!
However…
"So—?"
Seline looked at Javier's answer with some confusion. What did he mean, a shield was the solution to the problem?
Javier: "…"
Alright, Javier himself was too foolish. Sometimes… not only are there differences between people, there are also differences between Vampires, and female Vampires are no different from human women; they can occasionally be truly foolish!
"You're invincible, child…"
"Seline, I seriously doubt if your IQ is over sixty. I advise you to go to the hospital and check if you're intellectually disabled. The answer is a shield!"
"What is the principle of an Ultraviolet Bullet? It's that the bullet contains ultraviolet energy. Hitting a human body is fine, but hitting you Vampires is certain death. Are you planning to change your Vampire physiology to make Ultraviolet Bullets ineffective?"
"Since you can't change that, then the simplest and most brutal method is not to let the bullet enter the body. As long as it doesn't enter the body, the bullet cannot achieve a one-hit kill effect."
"If that's the case, then just maximize your defense! Werewolves don't have money, but surely you Vampires do?"
"Wear all the special forces' bulletproof vests and protective helmets on your heads, fully armed, armed to the teeth. You can even wear Medieval armor to fight, with your increased strength, it should be no problem."
"Those Ultraviolet Bullets are purely fired by crossbows, they don't have the same power as gunpowder bullets, so they can't penetrate thick bulletproof vests or thick plate armor at all."
"You Vampires are so strong, carrying full steel plates for weight isn't a problem. You can even choose to fight like in the Middle Ages, holding shields to block, letting the Werewolves on the other side shoot you one by one with Ultraviolet Bullets, while you use heavy firepower to smash their heads in, no problem!"
Pinching his brow hard, Javier explained to Seline, the female Vampire, with an extremely helpless expression, as if scolding a student who couldn't live up to expectations.
Indeed, the solution to the Ultraviolet Bullet was that simple, and very brutally effective; they just needed to block it.
Javier admitted that the scientist who designed the Ultraviolet Bullet was a talent, but this talent precisely overlooked one point: the firing method of the Ultraviolet Bullet.
It used a weak projectile method, like a crossbow arrow, to launch the Ultraviolet Bullet, rather than blasting it out like a gunpowder bullet.
This led to a drawback: insufficient penetration power.
If the target wasn't wearing any protective gear, just simple thin clothing or nothing at all, then the power of the crossbow arrow could indeed penetrate the Vampire's flesh and detonate the ultraviolet energy inside, achieving a fatal blow.
But if the opponent wore protective gear, even steel plates, then this bullet would lose its penetrating power.
If it couldn't penetrate, then the Ultraviolet Bullet's energy would also be ineffective.
Even if the bottom used gunpowder explosion energy for propulsion, and the bullet head was replaced with metal to increase penetration, with the key core carrying ultraviolet energy in the middle, it still couldn't achieve effective penetration.
Because gunpowder and ultraviolet are two completely different energies, and the explosive energy of gunpowder is uncontrollable, it could easily destroy the central ultraviolet core.
So, this method was also highly unlikely to work.
It was like the incredibly foolish ice bullets in movies, melting to kill invisibly, but in reality, the moment the gunpowder exploded in the gun barrel, the immense high temperature would melt the ice bullet head.
How could a hard ice bullet head possibly shoot and kill someone? If an ice bullet wanted to kill invisibly, it could only use a projectile method like a crossbow, but then its power would also be greatly reduced.
And the current Ultraviolet Bullet also shared the same principle and flaw as the ice bullet—!
After Javier's guidance, Seline's confusion cleared up. Indeed… she hadn't thought of that.
Vampires were naturally afraid of sunlight, and it was impossible for them to change their body genes to not fear sunlight, or they would have done so by now.
Since that was the case, then they just needed to not be hit by Ultraviolet Bullets.
Furthermore, the penetration power of Ultraviolet Bullets was limited, at most reaching the penetration level of a crossbow bolt, so ordinary bulletproof vests could handle them.
And their Vampire clan was wealthy; it was very easy for every Vampire Warrior to wear protective gear even more luxurious than that of special police forces.
Moreover, due to the Vampires' special physique, carrying several kilograms of heavy protective gear was also an effortless task for them.
They wouldn't get tired and collapse after just a short period of movement due to the protective gear being too heavy.
While intelligent Vampires might not surpass humans, in terms of physical strength, Vampires had plenty to spare.
And the ideas of shields and Medieval armor even made Seline's eyes light up. These methods seemed foolish, but they were actually very useful, because Ultraviolet Bullets truly couldn't penetrate these defenses—!
"I knew you humans were smart!"
"Mr. Divine Emissary, I acknowledge you—!"
Having obtained the answer she wanted, Seline was very excited, patting Javier's back hard and mumbling excitedly.
This Ultraviolet Bullet was very limited; perhaps the person who invented this weapon forgot the disparity between the two sides.
Werewolves had long lived in sewers and slums; the most powerful they got was merely forming gangs. Making a few weapons was fine, but fully arming all of them was almost impossible, as they were merely a collective of vagrants and paupers.
Some Werewolves even wore stolen clothes.
Therefore, hot weapon bullets could easily penetrate Werewolves' bodies; they had almost no protective gear, only thin clothing to offer resistance.
But Vampires were different. They infiltrated human society's elite, using human elites as a springboard to leap to higher positions, gain more power, and acquire more benefits.
They vigorously developed their own group influence. Nowadays, Vampires were a very powerful and influential clan, much like Mexican drug cartels—a deeply entrenched and very difficult-to-eradicate parasitic force.
