Woo woo woo...
The train whistle blew, and as the train, which was riddled with scars and missing several carriages, approached the train station, everyone was shocked by the terrifying claw marks and bloody minced meat on it.
However, at this time, the people who were shocked on the platform were not the passengers, but the soldiers with live ammunition.
Apart from the soldiers, there were only confused staff members left.
On three floors inside and three outside, soldiers, under the command of sergeants on tall horses, surrounded the train.
The leading officer was tall and fat. He stood aside with a knife in his hand and a cigarette butt in his mouth. He was not in a hurry.
But when his soldiers searched the train three times and still only brought down the shivering conductor, he finally couldn't hold back his anger and threw the cigarette on the ground.
"Where are the people?"
"Only the conductor, the driver and a few boilermakers, no one else."
"What did you say!?"
The officer grabbed the collar of the person in front of him, "Three people, two Pan-Asians, one blonde, three! All living people are gone. Could it be that they can't fly!?"
Of course Yin Xiu and Luo Wei can't fly, and Laura Fana is also afraid of heights.
So they just found three unlucky soldiers, knocked them unconscious, changed their clothes, and walked out with guns on their backs.
Yin Xiu walked in the front, pulling her hat as low as possible, Laura Fanna was in the middle, and Luo Wei was in the back. The three of them walked quite seriously, and if Laura Fanna hadn't been too protruding under her neck, Obviously, these three people look like professional soldiers.
"So you still haven't seen the Red Emperor?"
Laura Fanna poked Yin Xiu in the lower back.
"He was wearing a mask. It was weird, like a magical weapon from a certain sect, but I can't remember it." Yin Xiu whispered.
"Maybe it was just a few cents from a Persian merchant in the market."
Yin Xiu nodded and agreed with Laura Fana's statement, "Anyway, I don't think you can compete with a mask. He is one mask this time, and he may change to another one next time. We can't be satisfied." Let’s go to the world to find this mask, right?
It’s the person that counts, not the mask. ”
"Oh?"
Laura Fana glanced at him sideways under her military hat, "I didn't expect your words to be quite philosophical, and maybe they will be helpful to our current situation."
"How can I help?"
Yin Xiu was quite helpless. The second memory extracted from Adam's mind showed that the Red Emperor in it was far more blurry than what Johnny saw.
But what is more interesting is that their meeting this time was in an old castle in Western Europe, not in the ice and snow of Eastern Europe.
It seems that the Red Emperor is indeed quite busy, so much so that he has to run around in various places, and these vampires are following him, quite following his lead.
"Actually, you are hiding in Boling to avoid the Red Emperor?"
"Of course!"
Laura Fana didn't take it seriously, "He is the most terrifying person in the underground world today. Even in the past, during the era of great witch hunts, when vampires lined up to be burned at the stake, the situation was not so tense.
The Inquisition only wants to destroy vampires, and the Red Emperor, he wants to enslave us. ”
"Why, for vampires, slavery is more terrifying than death?" Yin Xiu asked.
"Of course."
Laura Fana couldn't help but want to touch the goosebumps on her arms, but she was carrying a gun at this time and could not act rashly.
So she could only take a deep breath and adjust her mood.
"The life of a vampire is very long. As long as he doesn't want to die and others don't want him to die, he will almost never die.
In such a long life, even if you live freely, you will inevitably encounter some unhappy things, let alone being someone's slave. ”
"Isn't that what a blood slave is?" Yin Xiu glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
"That's different. Blood slaves are used to it."
"Do you think you are nobler than a blood slave?"
Yin Xiu laughed and said, "Those people are pitiful to say the least. If they are bitten like this by you, they will be slaves forever and will not be able to stand up."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Laura Fana said seriously: "I never create blood slaves."
Yin Xiu couldn't help but feel curious, "Huh? Do you think a young lady like you still handles the housework by yourself?"
"That's not the case."
Laura Fana pursed her lips, "Although I don't know how to do these trivial things, and I try not to even go out by myself, but I have money, don't I? I can definitely hire a few servants and coachmen to ensure my life."
After a pause, she said seriously: "Because I think slavery is as terrible a thing as responsibility. I don't want to accept that fate myself, so why should I ask others to accept it?"
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."
Luo Wei shook his head.
……
It was already late at night when they strolled out of the train station and entered the tavern in ancient Normandy.
Apart from drunkards on the streets of Normandy, there are only drunkards in pubs.
Yin Xiu walked to the counter, stretched out her finger, "Three cups of tequila, thank you."
"Isn't it good for you to help others decide without permission?"
Laura Fana muttered: "If you are ordering wine for a lady, maybe a glass of champagne or red wine is the appropriate choice."
"You're right."
Yin Xiu nodded, "So I ordered these three cups of tequila for myself. You can order whatever you want to drink."
Ignoring Laura Fanna's protests, Yin Xiu sat down on her own.
They were going to rest here for a while, waiting for the first ship to Dunling after dawn.
"But I think the tavern is a bit too showy."
Luo Wei couldn't help but look around with some worry. There were many curious or malicious eyes looking at him, which made Luo Wei feel bad.
"What does it matter?"
Yin Xiu swallowed a glass of tequila with salt and lemon, and exhaled white air.
"We are now in a very chaotic place, with a mixture of good and bad. You must know that all valuable information in the world flows out of pubs and slums."
"Then we are not at the center of information circulation right now? It's like the high seas, and all kinds of ships pass by here." Laura Fana asked curiously.
Yin Xiu looked at her with an interesting look, "Do you think we are sailing ships? We are actually some soft-shelled creatures attached to the bottom of that huge ship, or just moss or seaweed.
Everyone's eyes were on the huge boat, but no one could see the water plants attached to the bottom, so we were able to make plans leisurely, drinking in the tavern like we are now, and then waiting to get on the boat. ”
Laura Fana thoughtfully asked, "Actually, this is what you often say [dark under the lamp] means?"
"You know quite a lot."
Luo Wei smiled and said: "In other words, the most dangerous place is the safest place." "I didn't expect you to have so many strategies."
Laura Fana raised her hand, "A glass of beer, thank you."
"Not red wine or champagne?" Yin Xiu narrowed his eyes.
"You also have to be able to bark."
Laura Fana glanced at Rowe again, showing two rows of white teeth.
"Brave Detective, can I get you a glass of milk?"
……
Just as Yin Xiu thought, after they stayed in a large muddy pond like a tavern for a night, all the eyes looking for them in Normandy were empty, and no trace of them could be found.
To these vampires and werewolves, Yin Xiu and the others seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
In addition, after they boarded a ship that did not go to Dunling at all but just passed the port far away, those people were even more unable to find traces of Yin Xiu and others.
In the afternoon of that day, after using the Dou Zhuan Xing Shi [Transfer], Yin Xiu and his party disembarked from the ship at the dock in Dunling.
"Huh."
Laura Fana opened her hands and couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't been back to Dunling for a long time, and it's still so humid here, like wet clothes that have been stuck in the closet for more than ten days."
"Be careful, don't be so arrogant."
At this time, Laura Fana was wearing a black hat and a crisp suit like Yin Xiu and Luo Wei, and hid half of her face under the collar of her coat.
However, just exposing her eyes is enough to make her unusual beauty flow out, just like exposing just a corner of a gem is enough to make people's hearts beat.
"What are you afraid of? Haven't we already gotten rid of all those eyeliners?"
Laura Fana tugged on the collar of her shirt and unbuttoned one button, revealing her snow-white neck.
"That's right."
Yin Xiu spread her hands and said: "But we are in Dunling now, and there are enemies on all sides. Even if we stand still, people will find us by smell."
"Just like the three standing over there, right?" Luo Wei suddenly said.
Yin Xiu did not turn her head, and at the same time put her hand on Laura Fana's shoulder, pressed her gently, and motioned her not to look around.
"How long have they been watching us?"
"Since we got off the boat, we haven't taken our eyes away." Luo Wei affirmed.
"Oh? There are such elite spies?"
When Yin Xiu was about to say something, Laura Fanna shook her shoulders, causing Yin Xiu's hand to slide down her arm.
"What are you doing?"
Yin Xiu and Luo Wei were both a little surprised.
"What not to do."
Laura Fana narrowed her eyes, "I just want to say, no matter how I look at those three people, they all seem to be members of our Nicholas family."
Yin Xiu frowned, "Didn't I tell you to stop reading?"
"I won't watch if you tell me not to watch?"
Laura Fana not only wanted to look, but also waved over there, signaling the three of them to come over.
So under the gaze of Yin Xiu and Luo Wei, the three Dunling gentlemen in suits and leather shoes walked over, bringing a carriage with them.
They should not be blood slaves, but more advanced vampires, so they can go out in the not-so-strong sunlight without any protection.
"Miss Laura Fana, long time no see."
The leader took off his hat and bowed to her, revealing his silver hair.
Yin Xiu recognized that the man he had seen in the old castle west of Dunling seemed to be the butler of the Nicholas family.
Laura Fana rolled her eyes and glanced at the housekeeper as a greeting.
"Have you been waiting here for me for a long time?"
"We have been waiting for you here since the count's death. It has been about five days. I believe that with the help of these two gentlemen, Miss Laura Fana, you will reach Dunling safely."
"It's hard to say whether it's safe or not."
Laura Fana's face was cold, "I also know that not only you, but the entire dark world of Dunling is waiting for me to come back, isn't it?"
The butler didn't answer, which was acquiescence to Laura Fana's judgment: the entire Dunling vampires were watching Laura Fana's movements.
Because she will determine the future of the Nicholas family, and she is the only legitimate blood heir.
More importantly, her decision will affect the future of the entire vampire world.
If Laura Fana would surrender to the Red Emperor, everyone would be safe.
After the Red Emperor has the support of three blood families, the remaining wavering Magnus family will inevitably fall under the Red Emperor's command, even if their count is killed by the Red Emperor.
There are only eternal interests, family affection and friendship between vampires, which are not worth mentioning in the face of survival.
But if Laura Fana rejects the Red Emperor, then a vampire war even more grandiose than the original one will begin soon.
It is no longer the other vampire families that are pressing down on the vampires, but the civil war between the vampires.
To a certain extent, Dracula and the Vlad family have secretly crossed the line before, but the matter has not yet reached the point of breaking out. They still abide by the blood truce agreement to a certain extent and have no real confrontation. The bloodborn takes action.
But if Laura Fanna decides to go to war with the Red Emperor, then the thousand-year peace between the blood descendants will be broken, and the entire Dunling will become a whirlpool of blood.
From here, Europe will be at war.
The remaining vampires have only two choices, either to run to the Far East for refuge, or to choose one side to join in this grand vampire war.
There is no such thing as neutrality or bystander anymore, because for the earls, even just watching is an unforgivable act of betrayal.
Under the influence of the Red Emperor, the vampire world gradually became black and white. There was only absolute loyalty and absolute betrayal, and there was no gray area.
However, as the center of the whirlpool, Laura Fana was indifferent to the responsibilities she shouldered and the fate of her relationship. She just had a cold face, making it difficult to see her thoughts, as if what was about to happen was none of her business. .
Surrounded by her servants, Laura Fana climbed into the carriage.
When she was about to get into the carriage, she turned around and asked Yin Xiu and Luo Wei: "You two, take me back to Dunling. Will the mission be over?"
Yin Xiu only remembered this at this time.
In the beginning, they just wanted to bring Laura Fana back. This was part of the agreement, a condition, and it seemed to be the entirety of their mission.
At this point, Laura Fana returned to the Nicholas family. It seemed that they had really accomplished their mission and completed their agreement with the Nicholas family. The rest of the matter did not seem to be something they needed to participate in.
Even though she knew the matter was over, Yin Xiu couldn't help but feel a little weird in her heart.
After spinning his boots on the ground a few times, Yin Xiu still looked up and forced a smile.
"Bon voyage, cousin." (End of Chapter)
