Chapter XXVII
"The owner of the castle is Xia Zuo? In Cappadocia, every meeting is held in the territory of the Cappadocian people. Victor helped Su Lingjing to dismount, "You don't have to worry about your clothes, you must know that in the eyes of the Torredo clan, all the blood clans have aesthetic problems. We all parked the coffin at the gate of the castle, and if nothing else, your companion should be fine, if there is a little blood prank, then I can't help it. ”
Su Lingjing remembered that there were still remaining charms in her pocket, and quietly pasted them on the coffin when Victor turned around.
"I'm glad you weren't late today." A gentleman-looking middle-aged man lifted the curtain and said in an arrogant tone. He looked at Su Lingjing with contempt: "Victor, don't tell me that this is a newcomer to your family, otherwise you should consider whether there is something wrong with your genes." ”
Victor replied unceremoniously: "Excuse me, Julils? Your Excellency Lesensen, this young lady is my princess. She fell in love with my temperament, not a hypocrite with a good skin like Your Excellency. After saying that, he pulled Su Lingjing and ran into the castle, leaving Julils alone to go crazy.
The castle's hall is wide, with huge crystal lamps hanging in the center of the ceiling and a spiraling staircase leading nowhere. The attendant prepared a glass of the Blood's favorite red wine and placed it on a white tablecloth for anyone to take. Many richly dressed blood clans gathered in groups to talk, and the volume was not very loud, so the castle was not noisy.
"The inside of the Bloodline is truly wonderful." Su Lingjing has seen all kinds of vampires, whether they are elegant and noble nobles, or irritable rough people, each clan has different characteristics.
Soon, Julils took a beautiful lady by the hand and burst in menacingly, looking like a bad comer.
"Oh, this bastard, relying on his family's artifact to find fault. I want his father to know that it was a mistake to ask his eldest son, who has no learning or skills, to attend the meeting for him today. Victor said and handed the goblet with red wine to Su Lingjing, "Stay here and don't move, I'll come when I go." However, this is nonsense at all, Su Lingjing noticed the greedy eyes around her, and followed Victor without hesitation.
"Isn't this Victor? I'm just going to introduce you, this is my wife, Dalena. As Julils spoke, Dalena held out her hand in accordance with etiquette, and just as Victor tried to kiss the back of her hand, everyone saw Julius pinch her, causing her to withdraw her hand in pain.
Victor straightened up in embarrassment and humorously quipped himself: "Forget it, I'm afraid that if I kiss this young lady, she will have nightmares at night." It's an honor to meet you, Lady Dalena. Many of the Bloods set their sights on this, and Jurlis let go of his hand and gave Dalena a free body for the time being.
The two were fighting on the side, and Su Lingjing and Dalena came together. Su Lingjing thinks that her eyesight is not bad, and she thinks that Dalena should be a kind woman.
As soon as Dalena opened her mouth, a bunch of foreign languages popped up, and Su Lingjing couldn't even hear any country. "I'm sorry, miss, do you speak Huaxia?"
Apparently surprised by Dalena, she called a Blood Squire to act as an interpreter.
"Lady Dalena asks you what your relationship is with Lord Victor."
"Oh, I'm his princess. I am from the East and am Chinese. ”
"Lady Dalena asked if your name was Su Lingguan?"
"Huh?" Su Lingjing knew that Su Lingguan was a missionary in the West, and he was inevitably a mortal enemy with the blood clan. If the other party wants to ask her if she knows Su Lingguan, why would she ask her if her name is Su Lingguan? Su Lingjing really opened her mouth and didn't know how to reply.
Dalena and the squire said a few words to break him apart, and at this time, the war of words between Victor and Juris has become the focus of this hall, and more and more blood clans are in the mood of watching the play, watching how the prince Victor teaches Jurlis, the prince candidate of the Lesen Lu clan. No one noticed that Dalena and Su Lingjing walked into the small corridor on the side.
After Dalena confirmed that there was no one around, she said to Su Lingjing in broken Huaxia language: "I, Su Lingguan, friend. ”
Su Lingjing nodded in understanding, and then she continued to use this method of speaking words to let Su Lingjing understand what she wanted to express. Dalena said that Su Lingguan left a kind of mark on Su Lingjing's body (which seemed to be visible only to the clergy), telling his companions that Su Lingjing was her sister so that they would protect her.
Su Lingjing's heart was warm, and he suddenly felt that even if he gave up his father's spiritual power to his brother, it would not be impossible. "Then why did you become a Bloodline?" Su Lingjing was afraid that Dalena would not understand a lot of honorifics such as "you" and "madam", so she simply omitted them.
What else Dalena wanted to say, Juris had already found him: "Dalena, where are you?" Dalena hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt, left Su Lingjing and trotted all the way to the hall.
Victor took Su Lingjing's arm with a victorious smile: "Ha, as expected, this guy's mental structure is as simple as I thought. ”
Dalena pitifully apologized and explained to Jullis that Jullis scolded her, although Su Lingjing couldn't understand it, but she could hear it from the intonation that it was vulgar and obscene swearing. Fortunately, the protagonist of the meeting appeared, and all the Bloods immediately fell silent.
"It's Natsuzo? Duke of Cappadocia, flanked by his mother, Lady Alexia. Victor introduced to Su Lingjing in a low voice, Su Lingjing did not see a figure, only heard the sound of "popping" footsteps.
On the stairs walked a beautiful man with an extraordinary appearance, he was the Duke of Xia Zuo, and he looked a little nervous when he spoke in front of so many people for the first time. His mother's hands trembled in empathy, as if she were doing it on his behalf. Lady Alexia is a very attractive woman, there is no wrinkle on her skin, and she and Su Lingjing are simply not able to distinguish their age.
Su Lingjing heard that the blood clan is immortal and has an eternal appearance, which is really better than seeing it.
Duke Xia Zuo's fluent Emeric language made Su Lingjing admire, but unfortunately she could only understand the first sentence "Welcome". Victor acted as her interpreter, whispering in her ear what he was saying.
"As a member of the Blood Clan, I would like to express my condolences to my predecessors who died in the 3,000-year-old Holy War." This is the old rule of the Blood Clan Council, Victor told her before he came, and she also learned from Victor in silence after painting a gourd.
After the silence, Xia Zuo showed a mysterious smile: "Do you remember why I invited you here? Yes, I did capture the Cardinal of the Holy See, Corwin? Tong En. I have invited you here for the purpose of judging Corwin, but as the heir of the Cappadocia family, I do not wish to deceive you. Since all of you here are credible people, I would like to share with you an important piece of information. ”
He clapped his hands, like a magician shaking off his elaborate baggage, and the audience was in an uproar.
