Chapter 157: The Ancient Race
Lin Duxue only felt that she heard Wang Lin and them as if they were calling herself, and she wanted to answer them, but she couldn't say a word, and she couldn't open her eyes. But heavy, the head is heavy. Didn't sleep well at all. Confused, as if in a dream, I don't know who is chasing her, and the surroundings seem to be terrifying. She was forced to flee.
Yes, it's the feeling of running away, as if something will happen if you stop.
But then, she felt warm all over her body, especially her head didn't hurt anymore. The dream has also eased a lot, and I no longer run for my life aimlessly.
If you sleep soundly, you won't be sad. She felt comfortable with the night's sleep. I don't know how long it has been, but Lin Duxue felt a faint fragrance, very similar to the smell of perfume, but she couldn't think of what perfume was, because she didn't use perfume much.
With curiosity, I opened my eyes and looked. Lin Duxue screamed out. Her courage can be said to be very big, and there is usually nothing that can make her scream. I really didn't expect it this time.
She was lying on a large round bed, and the problem was that Erica was lying beside her, looking at her with one hand on her head and a smile on her face.
"Miss Erica, what are you doing here?" Lin Duxue dared to swear that she was not a person who liked to think too much, but Erica's approach, this expression, it was difficult to think about it too much.
"You can't drink enough, you'll get drunk with one glass. You've been having nightmares, and I'm taking care of you. Erica said softly.
"What about my friends?" Lin Duxue knows that it is useless to say anything now, so she should accept the reality. I just hope to get out of here sooner.
"They're resting in their rooms." Erica raised her eyebrows, reached out and lifted Lin Duxue's chin and smiled and said, "You better rest more, this wine is really powerful, I bet you can't walk when you get out of bed, you have only slept for five hours after all"
"Five hours?" Lin Duxue was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Then when is it now?" Is it dark? ”
"Not yet. It's just a little after five. Erica's hand unconsciously slid around Lin's neck.
Lin Duxue may not feel that it is impossible because she is often teased like this by Li Weilan, after all, Erica is also a woman, so she can't take advantage of her, right? "Miss Erica. So when can I go? ”
"I probably won't be able to do it tonight." Erica frowned lightly and said, "I'm also doing it for your own good, it's not safe for you to go like this." ”
"Eun, thank you Miss Erica for your concern," Lin Duxue replied politely, "I wonder if Miss Erica said to tell us about Erin's news, does it still count?" ”
"Of course. When you go. I'll be sure to tell you. Erica nodded.
"And what if I could go now?" Lin Duxue secretly ran the Dark Technique.
"I'm still very confident in my wine. If you can go now, I can tell you right now, where Erin is. ”
"I'm kidding." Lin Duxue said with a helpless smile. "Miss Erica, may I ask you where you are from? Why do I think you look like a British, and why do you feel different from a British? ”
"Absolutely. If you want to know, I'll tell you, it's not a secret. "Erica is not domineering now, she feels like a docile little woman, asking and answering anything." Have you ever heard of gothic? ”
"Goth?" Lin Duxue nodded, she still knew a little about goths.
"How much do you know?" Erica said as she gently stroked Lin Duxue's hair.
"Wasn't Gothic a literary style that emerged in the fifth century A.D., during the European Renaissance? Focusing on dark styles such as supernatural, death, and decadence, by the middle and late Renaissance, the Gothic style was not only dominated by decadence, but also used death to celebrate life, love, etc., and found hope from despair. Lin Duxue truthfully said everything she knew, "This is a literary system, and the real Goths refer to living in ...... from the third century to the fifth century AD."
"Alright." Erica waved her hand and interrupted Lin Duxue's speech, looking unsatisfied with Lin Duxue's statement.
"Am I not right?" Lin Duxue asked rhetorically, at this time, Lin Duxue felt that the alcohol in her body had almost dispersed.
"Of course not. Listen to me. Erica said impatiently, "You can understand the Gothic style of the Renaissance as our faith, and as for the Gothic in Europe, don't confuse it with us." ”
Then, Erica told Lin Duxue what kind of race they were. After Lin Duxue listened, she instantly felt that she was still too superficial, she always thought that because she was a heavenly master, she knew a lot of people and things that others didn't understand, but she didn't expect that there would be an unknown race in the world, and the race represented by Erica, Erin, Elena, and Emily was this special existence.
They are also called Goths, but their full names are Dark Goths, and the place where they live is actually France. It can be said that that place is like a peach blossom paradise, ordinary people can't go there, they have lived for more than a thousand years, they are born with very special abilities, it can be said to be superpowers, just like the Gothic style of the Renaissance, they are decadent, dark, advocating the use of death to sing the praises of life and love, but they will never be killed, if they come to the end of their lives, they will choose a wonderful way to leave. There is a saying that when beauty comes, beauty goes. Love is their most sacred thing, and they have always lived a very stable life. Until the wars of mankind also affected the growth of crops there in them. They had to choose to stop the humans before they left their paradise.
They went around preaching the preciousness of human life, and they told humanity that life should be dedicated to feelings, not war. At that time, many conscious scholars agreed with them, and the Gothic style of the Renaissance emerged.
However, the good times didn't last long, the longer they stayed outside, the more their abilities disappeared, and some mutated, they became half-human, half-ghost, and Erica and they were like this. But they were not willing to give up, and finally, the entire race disappeared during World War II.
Erica and the others are fortunate in misfortune, because of the half-human and half-ghost state, but survived, Erica and Irene fled to England with them, hiding in the Forest of Dean, and some other half-human and half-ghost goths were taken away by the underworld.
That necklace was actually Erin who was unwilling to be lonely, so she made two corpses disguised like that, wanting to attract a lover, but she didn't expect to be taken by the Queen of England.
Speaking of which, there is a good explanation for many things, they are nothing more than a kind, but unfortunate race. However, based on past experience, Lin Duxue would never believe her words so much. (To be continued......)
