Chapter 196: Stealing Chickens Doesn't Make Rice

I have to say that the British have never been tired of the story of ghosts and ghosts, and every year Halloween is also the time when the British Isles Hundred Ghosts walk at night, the British did not pay attention to Halloween in the past, perhaps stimulated by the Halloween carnival scene in the United States, as the big cousin of the United States, the birthplace of Halloween, naturally refused to lag behind, so more and more energy on Halloween, and in fact Halloween is the third largest retail event under the recession of the economy this year.

Di Di –

Hearing the honking of the car, Arthur got up from the couch and went to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down, Eddie and Emilia, dressed in black Harry Potter wizard robes, got out of the Ferrari, laughed and walked to the BMW car that followed closely behind, opened the trunk, and beckoned the waiters and maids to take their things.

Arthur smiled and walked briskly out of the study, down the oak stairs, through the magnificent living room, to the front door, and said with a smile: "You guys have brought the Halloween counter home!"

Look at the back seat and trunk of the BMW full of Halloween items, including costumes, decorations, cobwebs to decorate the room, strange masks, and all kinds of horror movie costumes.

Hearing Arthur's teasing, Emilia smiled and took out a bag of toffee from the trunk and shook it in front of Arthur, making a noise.

“Trick or treat!” (Trick-or-treating)

Arthur was very cooperative, pretending to be a child's voice, causing everyone around him to chuckle.

"This is the costume I bought for you, the Vampire Count Suit!" Eddie handed Arthur a tote bag, then took out a small box from his pocket, and raised an eyebrow at Arthur, "And this, vampire fangs, see if you like it or not." ”

Arthur took the box, opened it, took out two white fangs from it, then pressed directly on the teeth, took out the black and red cloak, put it on, and stretched the cloak very stylishly.

"Hmph~haha~ Earl, I'm back again! Graceful killing, hunger - well, the best spice! The more I refuse, the more I want to eat you. Cheap guy, it's not the vampire who always perishes, but the humans themselves!

Hum ~~~ Haha ~~~ I'm not a picky eater at all, have you ever heard my horror stories?

If there is still greed in the hearts of human beings, I will not be able to be destroyed. Come home, I love to kill, true nobleman, ah—the taste of immortality!"

Arthur's gloomy face, showing hideous fangs and laughter, and speaking the lines of Count Dracula, the king of the previous life, in a low aria, made Eddie and Emilia both shine in the eyes, full of drama.

"Bang Bang—"

"I really feel like my hairs stand on end... Emilia clapped her hands and stroked her arm twice exaggeratedly.

"Hehe, yes, I just found out that you also have a talent for acting. Eddie also clapped his hands and chuckled.

"Ha-I'm not performing, I'm really hungry, it's past two o'clock, just to wait for you two, I think, we can have lunch!" Arthur rolled his eyes and smiled at Paul, the butler who was also applauding his performance.

"Okay, Lord, I'll get it ready right away. Paul, the butler, said with a smile.

"Come here, get it for us... Eddie placed a cardboard box full of masks in Arthur's hand.

"How did you buy so many masks?"

"Aren't you going to have a big party? Eddie said, picking up a cardboard box and walking towards the castle together.

Arthur shook his head noncommittally, they didn't know how big this so-called big party had been made by the butler Paul...

Ever since Arthur made lunch a proper meal, Boleyn's lunch has become very rich, and today's table has more pumpkin pie and toffee apples, which are one of the main elements of Halloween.

Arthur especially likes to eat this toffee apple, the production method is quite similar to the rock sugar gourd that he used to eat in his previous life, the apple is inserted with a bamboo skewer, and then the apple is placed in the toffee syrup and turned, and some will be dipped in the nuts on it, which is very delicious.

"What are you going to do in the afternoon?" asked Arthur at the dinner table, putting down the bamboo sticks in his hand and looking at Emilia and Eddie.

"Make a few jack-o'-lanterns, then go to the farm and make a few scarecrows and stick them in the woods and grassy slopes, so that at night, it's a little more terrifying. Eddie said with an eyebrow.

The corners of Arthur's mouth twitched, well, my cheap sister is very fascinated by these ghosts, otherwise she wouldn't have participated in the makeup event that "Resident Evil" did in London.

And when it comes to the origin of jack-o'-lanterns, there is a hint of comical ingredients. The prototype of this jack-o-lantern was actually a hollowed-out radish, which later became popular because the pumpkin was easy to carve.

Speaking of this custom is also inseparable from a drunkard named Jack, who is said to have tricked the demon into a tree carved with a cross one day, until the demon promised to cast a spell so that he would never sin. When he died, his soul could neither go to heaven nor hell, but could only wander through heaven and earth with the guidance of a candle placed in a turnip. Over time, the jack-o'-lantern is what it is today.

"Then I wish you all a good time. With that, Arthur picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, stood up with a smile and said, "I've eaten it, you can enjoy it slowly." ”

Looking at Arthur's back, Eddie's beautiful eyes flashed brightly, and he whispered to Amilia: "Actually, he is very timid, refuses to watch all horror movies, when he was a child, I proposed to go to the basement at night to explore, he never dared, and he hated Halloween... ”

Hearing Eddie's revelations, Emilia blinked her eyes and said in disbelief, "No, he's afraid of ghosts?"

"Or, in the evening we... Eddie's eyes flashed with a bright glint of danger and anticipation, and he whispered a proposal.

"That's not good... I'm worried he's really angry. Emilia also had some expectations in her heart, but she was afraid that she would really Arthur off.

"It's okay, he's not going to be angry. EDDIE SMIRKED, LOOKING LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO LEAP INTO THE AIR.

“。。。。。。 Emilia bit the pumpkin pie, her eyes also lit up and she chose to be silent, but the corners of her mouth were raised, betraying her expectations.

Arthur, who returned to the study and continued to write, didn't know that the two women downstairs were going to play pranks on him, but unfortunately, to Eddie's disappointment, Arthur was not afraid of any ghosts now, let alone watching any horror movies.

So, when night fell, Arthur, who was leisurely reading a book with a cup of coffee, heard a knock on the door and stood up to open the door.

"Poof—"

"Ahhh

In the dark hallway, a woman wearing a white cloak with a disheveled hair and a Sadako horror mask screamed in horror as Arthur on the other side not only squirted coffee in her face, but also the coffee cup in his hand on her.

"Oops—it scared the hell out of me, it scared the hell out of me!"

Arthur looked palpitating, patting his heart to calm himself down, watching Eddie, who was glaring at him with dark pupils after screaming, and the coffee in his hair was dripping. That embarrassed look.

"Poof—ha... ”

Arthur couldn't hold back and laughed.

"Bastard!"

Eddie lifted his foot, kicked Arthur, and turned away in a huff, while Amilia, who was hiding on the other side of the hallway, covered her mouth and laughed uncomfortably.
