Chapter 9: Millennium City and McDonald's
"That's why you humans are really in trouble. ”
Half an hour later, in a world-renowned fast-food chain, Erquit held his chin with his hand, stared listlessly at Shinji, who was sitting opposite, watched him swallow a hamburger in three bites, and said vaguely.
"I'm sorry, that's how troublesome humans are. You have to eat, you have to sleep, you're vulnerable, you're numerous, and you've got an insatiable desire - but who made you face a human being?"
"Wow, that sounds terrible. ”
"That's right, humans are such terrible creatures. Seemingly choking on eating too quickly, Shinji hurriedly took a few sips of Coke, "However, even bad humans have some advantages, such as creativity." ”
"Creativity?"
"That's right, look around you, compare it to the Millennium City you live in, that's the embodiment of creativity. ”
Erquit looked curiously at the storefront, which was mainly red and yellow, with the theme of cleanliness and convenience, thought carefully for a while, and nodded seriously.
"Looks good, na, wouldn't it be funny if I made the castle like this?"
"Poof~" Shinji couldn't hold back, and squirted out a mouthful of Coke, "Don't, don't!"
A few drops of brown liquid were splashed on her face, and Her Royal Highness the princess was not angry, but asked puzzledly, "Why?
"It's good, but it's ......"
If you change the vampire origin sanctuary, the special meaning of the millennium city of Bronstad, to McDonald's, the old monsters who lived through the age of the True Ancestor will go crazy, especially your sister Alt Luki.
Of course, this kind of big truth is impossible for Shenji to say, and anyone who knows a little about the vampire circle knows that the relationship between the Bronstad sisters is terrible.
Elquit once had long blond hair that reached his waist, but this long hair was cut off by Elquette hundreds of years ago. In return, Eltruki was severely injured by Elquit and had to disappear for many years, signing a contract with the "Night of Varzia" in order to use the latter's blood collection to recover from his injuries.
Shinji didn't answer, but Elquit didn't want to give up and chased after him.
"But what?"
In a hurry, Shinji could only find a reason casually.
"But this is completely inconsistent with the style of vampires, at least the image of vampires that circulate in human society. ”
Unexpectedly, this reason aroused Erquet's new interest.
"Vampire style...... How do you humans describe us vampires?"
"Red cloak and black dress, 20,000 square meters of castle made by the sea, slaves are full of jewelry, every day from six o'clock in the morning to sleep in one breath until half past eight in the evening, get up with a bottle of eighty-two years of blood plasma...... I'm sorry, I've been doing a lot of bombing work lately, and I've done a lot of cross-talking, so I'll do it all over again...... Well, come to think of it, I remember there was such a song about vampires. ”
After another sip of Coke to moisten his throat, Shinji began to sing a cappella.
"Vines and plants, crawling all over the count's grave. The castle was barren and overgrown with weedy dirt. The fat witch who can't ride a broom reverses incantations in Latin, lala-woo, and her black cat laughs like a cry......"
The name of the song is "William Castle", which is one of the classic tracks of the premier pop singer Zhou Jiebang in his previous life, and it is also a song that Shinji liked very much when he was young, and it is also his KTV repertoire. Even after six years, I can still remember the lyrics and melody clearly.
After the song was sung, there were sporadic applause around, and there were young people who were doing good things whistling and enthusiastically shouting "Encore". Shinji is no exception to this reaction, and the magicians who are accustomed to chanting mantras have a strong sense of rhythm and rhyme, coupled with a clear voice that has not yet changed their voices and a retro British tune, praise is inevitable. The only fly in the ointment is the lyrics in Chinese, which Romanians do not understand.
Yes, Romania.
The base point of the Millennium City's coupling with the present world is located in Romania, and it is true that it is the birthplace of vampires. The pronunciation of Mirenia, the home city of the Thousand World Tree Clan, is almost exactly the same as that of Millennium City, I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if someone deliberately did it, but it's a pity that the first name of "Flender III" is lost.
If you have the chance, find a way to fulfill his wish, and it will be worthy of the treasure he gave.
Thinking like this, Shinji crossed his hands, palms fit, and wiped them gently. When he let go, there was already an iron skewer with the length of a finger and the thickness of a millimeter in his hand, which was the miniature rafter stake summoned by the "Capital Punishment King".
A well-fed boy plays with a treasure that is related to vampire legends and listens to the vampire princess's thoughts on the lyrics.
Romanians can't understand Chinese, but Elquit can, and she can read not only memories, but also all kinds of recorded knowledge, including various languages. As long as she wants, she can become the world's number one translator at any time.
"Vampires are supposed to live in castles. But the barren, weeds and other things feel weird, many vampires consider themselves nobles, and usually raise some servants to clean the castle, is it because they have been asleep for too long?"
"There are quite a few Dead Apostles who are transformed by magicians through magic rituals, and that's what you're talking about as witches. The black cat is a demon, and I also have a demon who looks like a black cat. ”
"Werewolves, bats, and pigs are the result of filling flesh with the beast factor, and the ancient Dead Apostles were all able to do it. But what is it about reciting the Gospel of John before sucking blood? Aren't the church and vampires hostile?"
"And that Princess Catherine, just eat male mice, why AB blood type?
"Na, na, are you listening?"
"Listening. Shinji narrowed his eyes, and the miniature rafter in his hand spun faster and faster.
"Then you answer my question. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Sure enough, I didn't listen. ”
Elquit snorted discontentedly, and his left hand reached out like lightning to grab the eye-catching miniature rafter pile.
How could Shinji let her succeed and make a small move from the left hand to the right hand, while not forgetting to answer.
"As I said, it's the perception of ordinary people, the product of human imagination and creativity - if you're serious, you'll lose. ”
"I'm not going to lose!"
Seeing that one hand could not hold Shinji, Elquit put out both hands. It's a pity that compared to this small means, she is really not Shinji's opponent, and she has caught dozens of times in a row, but she hasn't caught what she thought of.
At this time, applause and whistles rang out again, apparently taking the banter between the two as a performance.
Hearing the support of the others, Elquit became even more energetic, she put her hands on the dining table, and-
The table collapsed.
