Chapter 378: Searching
A converted luxury motorhome is speeding down the winding road.
In the RV, there were four men, two women and six people.
"How many times has this been, how many times has surprised me. Who the hell are you? Marcus, who was leaning on the sofa freely, with an inexplicable smile on his face, gently turned the simple ring on his finger.
It was the first time in a thousand years that Marcus had been a vampire for more than a thousand years.
You don't have to worry about the damage of the sun, and you don't need to worry about whether you will turn into a piece of charcoal in the sun in the next moment. This feeling of freedom and exuberance can always make people's emotions surprisingly good. Especially when good things come in pairs.
"There's always a little bit of a trick." Tang Bai looked at the Walker Ring that Marcus was wearing on his fingers, and gently sipped the warm magic drink in his hand, and said indifferently.
"This is no small measure! You should know what this ring means to vampires who can only act at night. If Victor is still here, if I hadn't planned to recreate a flawless species, this little trick in your mouth would have ushered in a frenzied pursuit by the entire vampire clan. Marcus also picked up the cup with the warm mist in his hand, and sipped pleasantly.
"What if I just handed over the recipe to you? If you don't have a complete production method, you will be able to make this kind of walker ring in batches in the same way that humans make goods. This requires the blessing of some kind of power. Tang Bai replied softly.
"No need to excuse anything." Marcus waved his hand.
In addition to Tang Bai and Marcus, there are also Lucien, the hybrid werewolf king, Amelia, the vampire elder queen, and Serena in the RV, as well as Lucien's loyal follower Riz who is driving the car intently.
The six have now begun their plans.
Crane, who was stationed, also gave up the original Blood Clan Castle stronghold under Tang Bai's guidance, commanded the remnants of the manpower, and reselected an unknown hidden stronghold to rest.
Although it is a pity to give up such an ancient stronghold that is very complete in terms of geographical location and protection methods, and has a strong historical atmosphere, it is not difficult to find this kind of historic castle with the accumulation and heritage of the thousand-year-old vampire race.
In other words, the reason why this Blood Clan Castle is one of the most important strongholds of the Vampire Clan is not because of its value or time of existence, but because this ancient castle is the sleeping place of the three elders. Just like the seat of the Blood Council and the Elders, it is endowed with great added value.
Now, the three vampire elders, Victor, have died, Amelia and Marcus are also in a state of consciousness, plus the exposure of this blood castle that was almost captured this time, no matter what, the added value that has shrouded it for hundreds of years has begun to completely collapse and annihilate.
In other words, this castle is just an ordinary castle among the many estates in the entire vampire family. Regardless of whether Amelia and Marcus still want to continue to maintain the vampire clan's ruling law of one elder for more than a thousand years, and the rest of the elders sleeping in turn, this exposed and unsafe ancient castle is impossible to use as the sacred resting place of the elders.
Serena sat quietly on the side of the RV, bowing her head and carefully caring for her firearms. The cold face was even colder, but if anyone could see her eyes, they could see from her beautiful pupils that what was hidden in the deepest part of her gaze, like a fire wrapped in a cloud of ice.
The death of her parents and relatives is a pain that Serena has been unwilling to think about for hundreds of years. But deep memories are not something that you can't think about if you don't want to think about it. Some stubbornness in thinking and memory is stubborn beyond human imagination.
Even the more reluctant I am to think about it, the more profound this memory is, and the more frequently it appears in my mind.
Serena even remembers that in the early days of her parents' deaths, her mind played back the deaths of her parents and relatives in her mind almost every moment like a movie playing repeatedly.
During that time, Serena didn't even dare to close her eyes, because as soon as she closed her eyes, the picture became clearer and her emotions were more profound.
Serena needs to thank Victor, it is precisely because of Victor's guidance and training at that time that Serena barely broke free from the heavy blow of losing her loved ones, and found a survival target for Serena, who was desperate at that time.
That is revenge.
Take revenge on the werewolves.
Revenge can help Serena get rid of that bad memory for a while, and it can allow her to gradually face that memory calmly. Although Serena still felt the sourness of her heart twitching slightly when that memory flashed in her mind, it was much better than the heart-rending despair and loneliness of the beginning, with no future in sight.
In the end, Serena herself was a little unclear, whether it was because of revenge and constantly chasing and killing werewolves, or because in the battles of killing werewolves again and again, she got rid of that nasty sense of despair, so that she was immersed in this kind of revenge battle that could allow her to escape temporarily.
No matter how deep some people's feelings are, they can't withstand the washing and passage of time.
The same goes for Serena. For hundreds of years, many memories are a burden for her. So she learned to choose the last name of forgetting. But there are feelings that you think you have forgotten, but when you see a familiar object, see a familiar scene, or even do something, it will unconsciously jump out of the deepest part of your memory and make you revisit it again.
Victor is a sustenance for Serena's surrogate parents, a being who is regarded as a father. But this so-called "father" once again made her feel a sense of despair that she had experienced hundreds of years ago.
Serena didn't know what she could believe or how she would live after Victor's death. Hundreds of years of stubbornness and attachment cannot be shaken off and erased in a moment. It was then that Serena was artificially given a hope once again.
The last one to do so was Victor, even though it was a deception and a lie.
And this time it was Tang Bai who did it.
Serena didn't know if Tang Bai's promise could be realized, but that didn't stop her from taking the gamble. Just like Lucien, the half-breed werewolf king, after revenge, he gambled desperately. For people like them, if they have reached a point where they can no longer despair, what consequences are unbearable?
For a person who has fallen into despair, a straw is worth far more than anything in the world.
Pushing the bullets into the magazine one by one, Serena reassembled the parts of the gun that had been maintained. With these things, she has infinite confidence and support in her heart.
"We're almost there." Ruiz, who had been driving the car in silence, suddenly spoke.
"This is great news! I don't know why you have to waste your time here with someone like this. Marcus poked his head out of the window. The sun has sunk to the horizon, and the night has begun to get heavier. But the huge black shadow that was swarthy and like a castle could still be seen in the distance, just like the mountain peaks at night.
"I think we need a well-informed scholar-type figure who is ready to give us a little bit of useful information when executing the plan." Lucien replied with some-for-tat.
"I admit that Andreas Tynis is an extremely rare and precious scholar-type figure in the vampire dynasty. Even if he is Victor's man, it doesn't stop me from admiring his well-written memory. But in this cramped carriage, there are two venerable vampire elders, vampire elders who have lived for more than a thousand years! I don't think he has much commendable information to offer before us. Marcus pouted, a little lazy.
"I can't trust you, Marcus." Lucien first snorted coldly and replied to Marcus, then turned his head and said to Tang Bai, "Please allow me to say so." ”
Lucien does things and wants to take care of every link. In the execution of the plan, the unexpected is the accident, which is within the uncontrollable range. But preparation is preparation, and the more adequate and perfect the preparation, the more likely it is that the plan will be reversed when the unexpected happens.
The motorhome entering the slower speed stops in front of a gate.
It is a long-abandoned building, and the surrounding environment is mostly mountainous and wooded. When I got out of the car, a piece of white that was connected to the sky and the ground, like a white snow blanket, mixed with the cold air of nasal breathing, broke into people's field of vision.
The shoes made a slight creaking sound when they stepped on the snow beneath their feet. Ryze, who was the last to get out of the car, slammed the door shut and paced behind Lucian.
"There wasn't a gate here, I remember." With memories in her eyes, Serena looked at the sword wall outside and the iron-cast gate in confusion, and said in a low voice.
"By the time I found this place without your guidance, I think you should have guessed something." Serena's whispers were heard by Lucian, and for Serena, who had a face similar to his beloved, Lucien was not as hostile as to Marcus, but had a vague closeness and care.
