Chapter 115: Forget Your Worries, Yellow Springs (3)
The manor has remained largely unchanged, with a tall tower on the east and west sides.
At this time, Uncle Jin walked on the spiral stone staircase leading to the upper level of the West Tower to find a dead voyage. The upper level of the tower is where Lady Eve lived.
Uncle Jin is very tall and completely the image of a Shandong man.
He soon came to the door of Lady Eve's roomβhe did not enter or knock at the door at once, but Uncle Kim waited at the door for a while.
His hearing is actually very good - as a gambler, who was once also known as a gambler, he naturally had special listening training. In fact, Uncle Jin asked himself that he was definitely the top in listening, and he had reached the peak in gambling.
But many years ago, he finally lost to Tu Shenyi, and finally cut off one of his fingers and became a housekeeper in Tu Shenyi's manor.
He knew that he would never win Tu Shenyi...... Because it is impossible for an ordinary person to win him, even if this ordinary person has reached the limit.
There was still no movement in the room, so Uncle Jin took out a key and opened the door of the room. He didn't stop in the room, but went straight into the bathroom.
There is still some water mist left on the mirror, so it has become hazy, and the residual humidity and heat of the bathroom will make people feel a little uncomfortable on a hot day, and Uncle Jin has already sweated a lot when he climbs the stairs of this tower.
He frowned and looked at the bathtub filled with rose petals...... There was a woman lying in the bathtub at this time.
Her name is Bella, and the reason Uncle Kim can remember this name is because Bella was originally a maid in the manor, and she was later favored by Lady Eve, and has been by Lady Eve's side ever since.
In fact, over the years, Lady Eve has visited the manor quite a few times, each time choosing a young girl as her entourage.
Uncle Jin walked into the bathtub, and the rose petals almost covered the water surface of the bathtub, like a red carpet for Bella. She just showed her head, her eyes closed, and a dreamy smile on her lips.
There were two tiny holes in her neck, Bella didn't move, Uncle Jin pressed his finger on Bella's neck at this time, and then shook his head.
Uncle Jin reached directly into the water and carried Bella out of it. The moment he got up, his body still had the residual warmth of water, and he didn't look like a dead person at all.
Her skin was still so warm and soft, maybe she was just asleep.
"Another one. β
Uncle Jin covered Bella's body with a white sheet, and left with her in his arms, for so many years, he would deal with such things two or three times a year, from the shock at the beginning, to the current surprise.
In fact, he was waiting for an opportunity...... Wait for an opportunity to become 'them' yourself.
......
......
β...... Generally speaking, we all refer to them as demon slayers. β
There is no doubt that Hitahir is a talkative gentleman, at least so far.
Locho didn't find anything wrong with Hitasil from his appearance or behavior - only in the initial contact he had at present, of course.
Because they were talking about some problems in the non-human realm, after Gan Hong came back with the water, she was sent away by Luo Qiu again - this time to get some snacks.
Luo Qiu was raised by the maid lady of the club, and he had long developed the habit of eating afternoon tea every day...... So Gan Hong is very busy.
"Demon slayer. Luo Qiu took a sip of water.
Hitasil gave him a personal feeling, probably that his physical ability should be stronger for ordinary people, and there should be some special abilities of the race.
It is not that Luo Qiu, a blood-sucking non-human creature, has never been in contact with itβfor example, the princess of the Xuanyuan family.
Of course, purely from the perspective of the power of the inhuman realm, there is really no comparison between Xitasir and Su Zijun. The gap between the two sides is like that between the king and the pauper in ancient times, for Hitasil is probably a vampire ten generations later.
Ten generations later, the vampire is not very powerful, and although it can maintain its youth, it is actually very fragile. Despite this, if the vampire traces the source, the first generation and the first generation are also quite powerful.
Of course, Locho befriending someone, or feeling an interest in certain populations, does not simply use strength as the only measure, because when the shell of great power is torn apart, what flickers within it, Locho has another measure.
Hitasil nodded, "Yes, a demon slayer, or an exorcist. They were first active in the medieval era. At that time, there were many legends of demons circulating around the world. The most common are vampires, werewolf legends, and so-called evil witches. These should be familiar. But in fact, these three races are rarely exposed, so the demon slayer is more about exorcising evil spirits every day. Those consciousnesses that have lost consciousness, or are combined by resentment, are uncontrollable, and it is difficult to form a unified management. β
Luo Qiu nodded: "Demon slayers have their own group, right?"
"Yes. Hitasir nodded, "In general, there is a very loose association of demon slayers. Its existence is not to rule, but only to provide information for demon slayers, and of course, it is also a platform for demon slayers to communicate. In addition, in the circle of demon slayers, there are several particularly large groups that need to be dealt with carefully by non-humans such as us. Let's say the Holy Cross. β
"Holy Cross, sounds like the Holy See?"
"That's right. Hitasir smiled, "The Church had a witch hunt in the Middle Ages. Witches here generally refer to witches, and during those years, many newborn witches were unable to resist the Iron Rider of the Holy Cross, and were either captured or burned to death. β
"Next up is the Knights of the Round Table. At this time, Hitasil dipped his fingers in some water, and drew a circle on the table, "Circle, meaning unity." In its heyday, the Knights of the Round Table had more than 150 knights, the most famous of which is, of course, the legend of the 12 Paladins of King Arthur. But in fact, the Knights of the Round Table not only had powerful knights, but also the great Mage Merlin and his descendants to protect them. β
"Then there's the magicians' association. "But many times magic and witchcraft are very different, which provides a good protective color for witches and wizards. So it's not known how many witches and wizards are hidden in the Magicians' Guild. On the one hand, magicians will also undertake some work of subduing demons, and on the other hand, there are also wizards and some rare races within them, so it is difficult to define the nature of the magician association. β
"Hmm......" Luo Qiu nodded.
Although he has the ability to get information on the fly...... But in fact, many things have come for nothing, which is also very gratifying.
"In fact, there is a special channel for obtaining things about non-human circles. Hitasil looked around, and suddenly put his palm under the table.
The moment his palm opened, a fluffy basketball slowly emerged from his palm - this fluffy creature had a pair of wings and a small tail on its back, except for this, almost half of its body was a huge eye.
"We called it the 'messenger,' and it was originally a very rare elf. Later, it was cultivated with a new technology, and it has now reached the stage where it can reproduce in large numbers. The benefit of the Courier is that it is able to update the dynamics of the non-human world on the fly...... Well, you understand that it's okay to be a newspaper. β
The blue 'messenger's eyes opened at this point, revealing a huge ball, but it was not scary, and even a little cute.
A glimmer of light appeared on the eyeballs, and a panel appeared, like the interface of a newspaper and magazine, with text and pictures, and even the text had the option to choose more Chinese words...... It's a bit simple to say it's a newspaper, but it's better to be a 'website'.
Interestingly, the picture above is even dynamic.
"Nice technology. Luo Qiu tried to touch the interface projected by the elven messenger with his fingers, and found that it was really controllable.
Hitasir smiled at this time, "Actually, these messengers are only children, and there is a messenger as a mother on top of them. Each parent can manage hundreds or thousands of offspring, and the many mothers combine to form a giant processing terminal. It's just that, as long as someone writes what happens into the matrix, then we, who hold the offspring, can always pay attention to the dynamics of the non-human world - by the way, this kind of mind is the product of the Magician Guild. β
Luo Qiu was like a child who had been given a new toy, and he couldn't stop paddling.
Hitasir opened his lips slightly at this time, his gaze fell on Luo Qiu's neck, and he suddenly said, "My friend, this messenger is given to you as a gift for us to know." β
"Give it to me?" Luo Qiu was a little surprised.
Hitasil said generously at this time: "Although this messenger is not a rare thing, it is still quite difficult to find without a special purchase channel, but I don't have a lot of this thing." β
"Then I'll buy it. Luo Qiu thought for a moment, "What should I pay for this? I mean, do you have any special currency in circulation?"
"Wealth means nothing to us, except for some people who have a special love for wealth, it's really of little use. Hitasil shook his head and said, "Generally speaking, we all have a popular barter of exchange. Of course, the Courier can indeed be purchased with money, as the Magicians' Guild also has a huge daily expense...... However, I said that sending you is sending you. Any idea why I'm not short of this stuff?"
"It's not like you're the developer of it. Luo Qiu said jokingly.
Hitasil smiled, "I don't have the knowledge to develop this kind of thing. But I'm one of the Courier's agents. β
Agent...... That is, also a businessman?
"Hmm......" Luo Qiu thought for a while, then reached out and took out a black card from his pocket, the card was printed with three golden marks, "I don't have the habit of taking it for nothing, since you are used to bartering, then I will exchange this card for it, this card can be ......"
It's just that before Luo Qiu's words were finished, Hitahir picked up this black card with a surprised expression, "This is ...... The imprint on this...... You can't go wrong, it's a 'Black Souls Discount Card'...... You...... Oh, my friend, Luo Qiu, how could you have such a precious thing? Did you know that a 'Black Soul Discount Card' with only one mark could be sold on the black market for five kilograms of Mithril or its equivalent, not to mention that it was a three-mark one!"
Luo Qiu blinked...... It's a discount card, yes, but what the hell is the value of five kilograms of Mithril on the black market??
"Don't you know the preciousness of this 'Black Soul Discount Card'?" asked Hitasil curiously, pushing the black card back in front of Luo Qiu...... It's just that the movements are a little slow, and there is a little reluctance in his eyes.
Luo Qiu shook his head: "It's hard to say whether it's precious or not, it's just that this thing is of little use to me." β
"That's probably because you don't know how precious it is. "Legend has it that there is a mysterious place in this world, and whoever steps into this place can buy anything and fulfill any wish. Of course, the premise is that there is a price to pay. And this 'Black Souls' discount card is one of its passes. And there are two imprints printed on this card, which represent a nine-fold and an eight-fold, or even a seven-fold. Do you know what a precious opportunity a person wants to fulfill a wish to pay less than the original price?"
As he spoke, Hitasil suddenly shook his head again: "However, this legendary magical place has disappeared from the West for nearly a hundred years. I heard that a hundred years ago, non-people in the entire Western world besieged it because of something. After that time, the inhuman world of the West went straight from a bright era to a bleak one, like turning from gold to scrap metal, and only after a hundred years did it regain some vitality. But others say that it has not disappeared, but is just quietly waiting for it to reappear one day. That's why it's fetching a frighteningly high price on the black market. And this kind of thing is a consumable, so it is even more precious. How did you think that you would actually hold one. β
Do you want to say that I'm the owner of the place you said I was......
Forget it, the next time you meet, bring a mask and don't look embarrassed...... Luo Qiu is a person who is afraid of embarrassment.
"I don't have any wishes that I want to achieve. Luo Qiu smiled and said: "I got this thing by accident, but the material is a little strange, so I kept it." Thank you, Sitasir, for sending me a messenger that I will receive as a gift in return. β
"Oh, Lochiu, my good friend. Hitasil was even more enthusiastic at this time, "It really makes me feel very honored that you can be such a generous person, and today is really a wonderful day to know you." β
He grabbed Luo Qiu's palm with both hands and said with great sincerity.
This guy is ...... What a passion.
Luo Qiu gently withdrew his palm, not very used to such intimate contact with men...... Hitasil didn't care much at this time.
It's just that while he quickly accepted this black card, he also took out a few rings.
"This 'Black Soul's Discount Card' is too precious for an ordinary messenger to match. I heard Hitasil say slowly: "These rings, give them to you, and your companions." β
Luo Qiu looked at these rings, there were four in total, three were red and one was green, and it seemed that there was something else.
"You'd better have your companion bring these three red ones. That's what Hitasil said.
