Chapter 9: The Castle in the Capital Circle of Jiangcheng
A towering castle suddenly appeared.
In the urban agglomeration of the Jiangcheng capital circle in the southern part of the 8th district of the eastern part of the empire;
In this side of the world, it is above everything and obscures everything. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It robs the sky, the sun, the air, the rain, and so on of the people below.
The castle hall is covered with a red carpet with two S-shaped staircases leading to the second floor in the center;
In the middle of the staircase hangs a portrait of Her Majesty the Empress.
Although the empress is gorgeously dressed, she is very young and slightly less majestic.
The Empress painted to the left and right, followed by a smaller portrait of the governor and a portrait of the count.
It foreshadowed that the emperor and the nobility ruled the empire together:
The emperor is in charge of the emperor, and the nobles are in charge of the nobles.
This is the Holy Empire, the southern part of the Eastern 8th District, the common center of the reign of the emperor and the nobility: Jiang Castle.
In a modest office in the castle -
"It has been confirmed that the killers of the New Humanity Councillor and the female university student have fled into the slum No. 4. ”
"The police force has surrounded slum No. 4. ”
A vampire soldier in an army uniform reports half-crouching.
"Got it, go down. ”
"Hah!"
The man who spoke to the vampire soldier was none other than the Masked Baron, Lord Earl's lieutenant.
The Masked Baron wears a crisp military uniform with clean white gloves on his hands;
Finally, his face is covered with a signature metal mask.
"It's just that the livestock escaped from the guardrail, so there's nothing to fuss about. After the soldier left, the masked baron turned his head and said lightly;
Beside him are two vampire knights in armor;
"Don't bother the Governor and the Lord for this little thing. ”
The Masked Baron continued, looking at the expressions of the two knights.
The two were silent for a moment, and Knight Kebin replied first:
"Obey your lordship's orders. ”
Then, the masked baron looked at the remaining knights.
"Hmph, got it. The knight Loren didn't seem convinced, but he agreed.
However, it is not a rational way to show your disbelief directly in front of your boss.
"In addition, there is intelligence that the murderer stole a biological weapon from Dr. Meng's laboratory;"
"That's a weapon that can threaten the new human!"
"Hmph, even if a human wears a mecha, it's rubbish. Knight Loren said disdainfully.
"The Chief Knight of the South is a big man. Knight Kebin sneered.
He looked at the problem from a completely different angle, and he attached great importance to this new biological weapon.
"You-"
The Masked Baron clenched his fist and slammed it on the desk—
The desk exploded into countless pieces in an instant;
both interrupted the quarrel between the two and showed his determination;
"Therefore, this weapon must not fall into the hands of the human resistance group!"
"It must be recycled-!!"
"In addition, if you dare to kill your owner as a domestic animal, you should always pay the price. ”
"Clean up the No. 4 slum, leave no one behind!"
The masked baron waved his arm, and his clean, white-gloved hand pointed forward—
A blood-stained order was given.
"Slaughtering civilians, this is against the spirit of chivalry!" Sure enough, Knight Loren retorted very facelessly.
The Masked Baron ignored the knight Loren and continued:
"The operation was led by Knight Kebin, with Knight Loren staying. ”
"But—" Knight Loren still wanted to argue.
"Hah!" but the knight Kebin had already taken the order.
The knight Loren could only leave very unwillingly.
After the two knights left, the masked baron turned to look out of the castle window;
The corners of his mouth curled into an arc: "'Hope' is mine—"
.......
At this moment, Zhou Yuan and Uncle are already wanted;
Their bounty warrants are being posted all over the city.
Zhou Yuan and his uncle were hiding in Old Man Li's house.
Old man Li's house is very narrow, but there are old man Li and his wife and grandson.
Originally, there were sons and their husbands, but they have recently gone to work in other places.
Zhou Yuanhe and Uncle Zhou passed the inspection by playing the son and daughter-in-law of Old Man Li;
Uncle cos son, Zhou Yuan has no choice but to cos daughter-in-law;
Who made Zhou Yuan have fine skin and tender meat, and the uncle is an uncle at a glance?
"Thank you, Old Man Li!"
Zhou Yuan, a woman with black-rimmed glasses, handed over a cup of hot tea, and he looked a little shy.
Old man Li was greatly pleased, and hurriedly took the teacup and took a sip:
"You're kind to—"
"These two are the great heroes who assassinated the vampire officials!"
"As for me, I've only done a little bit of my human duty. ”
"The day I overthrew the vampires, I probably won't see it. ”
"I only hope that my grandson will be able to live in a society free of vampire oppression in the future. ”
"......" Zhou Yuan and the uncle fell into a short silence, each thinking in their hearts.
Zhou Yuan is reflecting on his previous affairs as a vampire empire obedient citizen;
Compared to the humans in the slums, he used to be too happy;
No wonder he didn't really rebel at the time.
But the uncle remembered that-
the son who he rarely took care of for his part-time job;
I don't know what happened to him now.
"By the way, you are from the South China Republican Army, right?" asked Old Man Li suddenly.
"I thought about participating in it when I was a teenager, but unfortunately—"
The elderly, there are few people to communicate with, and they are a little lonely;
Now that he has caught two of them, they are both human heroes, and he has a strong sense of conversation.
"We're going to send something very important to the South Chinese Republican Army's Hope Island;"
"That's about the hope of humanity. ”
Zhou Yuan felt that Old Man Li was not like a bad person, so he answered honestly.
He said it before the uncle stopped him, and the uncle had to continue to eat ice cream.
But after listening to Zhou Yuan's words, Old Man Li immediately became serious:
"These two are not only human heroes, but they also have important missions!"
He turned to his head and commanded:
"Old woman, add two dishes tonight!"
"Take out the old white gan that I have treasured for 10 years!"
For a family like theirs, this kind of pomp and circumstance is a bit-
The old woman was surprised, and she hesitated:
"Boss, this is—"
"Don't talk nonsense, old man, I'm going to go down in history today!hahaha!"
At the same time, Old Man Chen said in his heart:
After the human overthrow of the vampire ****, the history books wrote about him Chen Lao:
'Amazing courage, sake brewery hero', laid the foundation for the victory of mankind -
Old man Chen firmly believes that humans will overthrow the rule of vampires in the future;
He has a bad history, but he also knows that the Ming Dynasty overthrew Mongolia and the Republic of China overthrew the Qing Dynasty;
Although this analogy is not necessarily accurate;
But it also shows how much oppression the human poor are currently under in the Empire;
How eager they are to change the status quo.
Of course, Zhou Yuan and Uncle Li didn't know the specific thoughts of Old Man Li;
But they could deeply feel Old Man Li's expectations for them, and for the human rebels.
The two of them are under a lot of pressure!
"What's the matter with this cat?"
"Why does it keep holding its sister's leg?"
The uncle and everyone were laughing, and the women's Zhou Yuan's face was dark:
"It's not my sister, it's my brother!"
"You're my sister!"
Although Old Man Li's grandson, Li Tiedan, can't understand the truth;
But there is a heartfelt love for small animals.
Zhou Yuan was helpless, so he had to shake his feet;
The black cat is also very persevering, holding on to his lap and not moving.
"It's probably indigestion or something—" Uncle joked.
If the black cat swallowed a bat-turned-vampire alive, it would scare them.
"It's so weird, haha. ”
"Hehe-"
――
Although the family is in difficulty, Aunt Li still racked her brains to make a sumptuous dinner;
"Come, raise a glass to our heroes!" Old man Li held up his precious old white road.
"I want to drink it too-" The atmosphere was so good that even Li Tiedan stood up.
Old man Li was about to scold his grandson, but was stopped by Zhou Yuan:
"You're too young now, and when you grow up—"
"Let's drink together—"
"Humanity must have eliminated the vampires by then!"
"It's agreed, you can't change it. ”
"It's agreed, retractor!"
"Iron eggs replace bars with water!"
"Good!"
"We'll try—" The uncle replied weakly, staring at a table of dishes.
At this moment, there was a noisy sound outside the house, and even screams and exclamations.
Everyone was shocked, what was going on outside?!
