Chapter 973 The Decline of the Blood Tribe 8
Vivienne also kept talking about how Versace was so wise and powerful that he let the monster die on the roof.
Hehe, when this family goes to bed at night, they don’t know if they will be scared. If you open the window and a gust of wind blows by, will you feel if there are vampire ashes in the ashes blown by the wind?
"Vivian!" Xining stopped the little girl from chattering: "It doesn't matter if you talk here, but don't talk nonsense when you go back."
The Williams family has been cared for by Dracula for generations and has been living peacefully. The people in the town were worried all day long, fearing that Dracula's bride would be too hungry and accidentally drain her blood. If you suck it dry, you will have to consider yourself unlucky. You can't go to the castle or complain when you see Dracula coming.
Xining's words were slightly harsh: "Otherwise, if you say something wrong and make the Baron angry, I won't be able to protect you."
It ranges from being beaten with a whip to being directly sold to other manors to arrange marriage. Although Vivian is still young at this age, she gets married early and can marry someone in this era. As for who she marries in other villages, whether she marries an old man or a young man depends on her luck.
Vivian, who knew the depth, stuck out her tongue and finally closed her mouth.
I got Qing Xining, sat back and looked at the scenery outside the car.
Back at the manor, the baron sat at the table and counted the rent collected by Old John. There were only a few copper coins, and they were counted over and over again. While counting the money, ask what else is going on in the town.
Old John replied truthfully. When the baron heard this, he trembled with fright and dropped one of the copper coins in his hand to the ground. He quickly got under the table and looked for it. After finding it, he picked it up, blew on it, and wiped it on his coarse clothes before putting it in the money box.
"Oh~, how terrible!" The Baroness was also wearing a dark home dress, an apron to avoid getting dirty, and a headscarf on her head. But the way she clasped her hands together and covered her mouth with her fingertips seemed like a young noble who liked to show off her bravado.
She turned her head and asked her little daughter who was having lunch: "Alfie, right?" Alfie is Elrafe's nickname.
Xining smiled and continued eating. The little noble's lunch consisted of fried sausages, tomato and potato soup, bread and roasted fruit sprinkled with a little salt.
This was the Middle Ages, productivity was low, and the Williams family was quite wealthy. Life is a little better now. If it had been a century earlier, even the homely skirts worn by the duchess and marquis in the castle might have been patched.
Good clothes are waiting for distinguished guests to come, so you can quickly change into them. I smoothed my hair down, slapped myself in the mouth a few times to make my cheeks red without makeup, and bit my lips. Then he held his head high and looked arrogant in a serious manner, and walked down the narrow castle stairs to meet the guests.
Even now, half of the people in the town eat two meals a day, either oatmeal or black bread. When it comes to meat, it takes three to five days to get thinly sliced bacon or a small amount of minced meat mixed with noodles. In addition to the need to "supply blood", the people in the town are basically sallow and skinny, and their bodies are like numbness.
In this era where people are only afraid of malnutrition and not high health, this replacement status is quite acceptable.
"It's true!" Old John was full of praise for this: "I didn't expect Miss Elrafee to be so calm and calm. She was well educated by the master and his wife, and she has an aristocratic demeanor. People who don't tell me would think she is used to big scenes. Where is the princess?”
The baron was so happy that he immediately took out two copper coins from the money box and gave them to old John and his son.
Old John didn't dare to take it directly, so he took off his hat and held it with both hands. The baron smiled and poured the money into the old felt hat. After getting the money, Old John put on his hat and of course withdrew with gratitude.
The baron went upstairs with the money box under his arm to put the money in a safe place.
"Hmph, you are really overestimating your capabilities. If you offend Dracula this time, just wash your neck and wait." The Baroness said with disdain. She was drinking beer, which was made from wheat and contained unfiltered alcohol. crumbs. Wine was also sometimes consumed, one of the few beverages available in this era. Xining wanted to know more, so he said: "I met the lady of the Vitonas family, and she said that we and Dracula are in the same group. What is going on?"
"Just the Vitonas family?" The Baroness even laughed and said with great contempt: "Our ancestors were granted the title of baron because of their military merits. The Vitonas family was granted the title of baron because they promised to kill their own brother. If he killed He took Dracula's position and replaced him as Count. As a result, he failed to kill him, so he asked his descendants to continue killing him. For more than four hundred years, even drops of water can penetrate stone, but they still haven't succeeded once. "
Hehe, it is indeed a failure. Only one young lady was left dead, so the church had to send someone to help.
The Baroness also had a powerful mouth. In addition to being pretentious, the nobles of this period also liked to quarrel and say the most vicious words in an elegant way.
Vivian, who was squatting by the stove, couldn't help but said: "Madam, you don't know. Miss Anna from the Vitonas family also put a sword on the young lady's neck..."
"What?" The Baroness stood up immediately, her eyes widened: "Put the sword on your neck!"
"Isn't it okay?" Xining tilted his neck, revealing his smooth and slender neck, and then looked at Vivian reproachfully.
Vivian said quickly: "But Miss put down her sword after only a few words. I really admire her for being thick-skinned. If I were told that, I would be so ashamed that I would kill myself with a sword."
Xining immediately sent a rainbow fart: "You don't even know whose daughter I am, you can bully me casually and kill me if you want."
The Baroness slowly sat down, twisted her neck slightly, and said arrogantly: "That's right! How could we, the Williams family, be so angry with their family?"
As long as you don't stare at her and ask questions, and finally get a grounding, that's fine. After all, the situation at that time was very exciting, and the battle between humans and demons was comparable to a blockbuster movie.
Xining stood up: "I'll go up and rest first."
"Yeah!" the Baroness responded and saw what was left on the table: "You don't want to eat the fruit?"
Baked apples and pears sprinkled with salt are really intolerable to those accustomed to modern food.
Xining replied: "I think of the one who turned to ashes. Look at the burnt fruit. I have no appetite. There is no need to prepare fruit for me in the near future." After speaking, he bent his knees slightly, gave a casual salute, and went upstairs.
The one that was burnt... turned to ashes... The Baroness looked at the grilled fruit on the plate, took a bite, and ate all the grilled sausages next to it. Why don’t you think of grilled sausages that turn to ashes?
Forget it, do whatever you want. The baroness asked the maid to bring the almost untouched roasted fruit, which she ate.
Going upstairs, Vivian went to get clothes: "Miss, would you like to sleep in your pajamas for a while, or change into clothes at home?"
"Change into your pajamas." Xining really wanted to sleep for a while.
I put on my pajamas and lay down on the bed to sleep.
