insipid
After the two introduced each other, they fell silent, neither of them knew how to start a new topic, and the scene fell into embarrassment for a while, and finally Neo said, "Uh, that...... Olovia, uh, miss, there's some food here, I hope ......" Neo suddenly didn't know how to continue, Neo desperately thought about how to communicate normally, he still reluctantly continued: "Before you eat, let me change another basin of water for you?" β
Olovia looked at the basin on the table, then at Neo and said, "Just a basin of water, not even a cleanser, do you have Clinique cleanser here?" β
"What?" Neo didn't understand what Olovia was saying.
βCliniqueγβ Olovia repeated patiently, deliberately dragging her tongue.
Neo still shook his head, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of ......"
"Don't you have any girls here? This thing is everywhere in supermarkets. β
"Uh, this, I don't know, we go to the city every time to buy something, there's no supermarket here, I can help you ask about that thing, maybe the other girls have."
"What? Are you in the mountains? You'll have to go to the city every once in a while to buy them. Olovia couldn't believe what she had heard, and thought to herself that it was completely over, and that she should not want to escape.
"Well, yes, but it's beautiful, it's quiet, and there's a lot of animals." Neo spoke of his hometown, with a sense of pride in his tone.
Olovia was deflated when she heard this, and shook her head helplessly, "......Huh, well, I don't know that you live in the mountains, you don't live a life of farming and hand-weaving, right?" She raised her hands to signal her surrender.
"It's not that miserable, at least we still have electricity here."
"Ha, Den, I'm so lucky." Olovia said coldly, thinking that it was a group of peasants who had captured her, a scene that only appeared in medieval movies, and this time she actually ran into it.
"Don't be discouraged, I can help you find it, Clin...... Ique, I remember, I'll be right back. Neo seemed very excited, and hurried out, and Olovia only heard the man outside shouting, "I say, you kid slow down." β
Olovia sneered dismally, I knew it was no fun when I heard the supermarket just now, not to mention that this is still a mountainous area that makes a living from farming, don't dream, if he can get a decent piece of soap, it will be a miracle, I think the blood clan is low-key enough, looking at the life of the wolf clan, he is simply living in heaven.
Soon Neo was back in the house, disappointed with a bar of soap in his hand and said, "I asked for you, maybe not the thing you said, they said they only saw it in magazines, but ......, now it's only this." Neo put the soap in his hand next to the basin and turned to leave.
"Ha, a miracle happened." Olovia grumbled quietly.
Olovia called out to Neo again, pointing to the food on the plate and saying, "That's all you eat?" You're werewolves, so it's okay if you don't have meat......" she rummaged through the vegetables with her fork, "can you give me a little blood?" I'm cold right now. β
Neo looked embarrassed, "We usually don't drink blood, only on major festivals or specific days, so it's ....... β
"What? Could it be ...... that I am your captive, and you ought to give me the greatest ...... The biggest preferential treatment, this is my right, understand? Olovia was a little surprised and excited.
"But it doesn't seem to work...... Neo scratched his head in embarrassment.
Olovia was completely deflated, rubbing her cheeks with one hand and poking at the bread and greens with a fork in the other, "What are you going to do with me?" β
"I don't know, I think this will end soon, you have to bear with me." Neo shook his head.
"You don't know anything, what are you doing? Is it an errand to be responsible? Olovia said in a holding position, her eyes fixed on the food on the plate.
"Sort of, I usually wipe the table in my father's tavern, help the guests with wine or something, occasionally help this, help that, do a little bit of everything, if I have to go hunting with Ryman and Philip during the hunting season, it's all chores anyway, but Philip was killed by the guy named William." Neo said that he was a little deflated.
"I'm sorry...... I didn't know so much was going on." Olovia was a little surprised at first, and then a little cruel.
"It's okay, I don't blame you for this......" Neo looked at the ceiling with numb eyes.
"William is a jerk, I've never liked him, and I haven't looked at him a few times anyway."
"Yes, I agree."
Olovia looked up at Neo and said, "You still have a tavern here just now?" β
"Yes, my father opened it, everyone goes there in the evening to have a drink, the beer is brewed by ourselves, I think it tastes good, I have a chance to show you, where we brew."
"Of course, I haven't seen it, we've seen how wine is made......" Olovia was a little excited, she knew that these thoughts were superfluous, and she said sluggishly: "I think you're fine, at least you have something to do, and I don't even know what I'm going to do, my mother is too strict with me, she rarely lets me run out, and I don't have any friends." β
"I've heard that you often have feasts and balls there." Neo said that he looked very excited, and pulled a chair to sit in front of Olovia.
And Olovia glanced at him and snorted coldly, "It's just boring communication, those people are just here to tell everyone, I'm fine, I'm still in this upper-class circle, Balabala." If one of the people in there doesn't show up that day, there will be gossip, bankruptcy, something wrong at home, and then everyone will start to slander that person's past. β
"Oh, that's realistic." Neo seemed to understand.
"That's the way it is, okay, let's talk about you. How do you survive in this nowhere else? β
"We? "......We spend half the year in the winter, and my father runs a tavern here, the only one, where I have to cut trees and hunt with the rest of the day, help out in the tavern at night, and occasionally go to the city with my father to buy things. Take the hides and go to the city for some money, and then go buy something, that's it, it's monotonous, I want to get out and see the outside world. β
Olovia and Neo both yearn for each other's lives, Olovia yearns for a peaceful and simple life, and Neo feels that he is not interested here.
"I'd rather be monotonous, and it looks like we're both envious of each other's lives. It's not as good as it seems, trust me. Olovia muttered.
"If I have the chance, I still want to go outside, I have never been out of this village, the farthest place is the small town, I don't know what it's like outside." Neo sighed and said, "I've seen magazines with oceans, canyons, waterfalls, and a lot of strange plants and animals, and I'll have to check them out if I have the chance." β
"Me too, we don't have the freedom of movement in the sun like you, we can only go out at night, and all we see is the dark side, why don't I want to see everyone's vitality and sunshine during the day, in fact, I think life should be simpler."
"But the outside world can broaden people's horizons, and those things are too high-end."
"Huh? You don't also go into the city, the outside world is like that, don't look at the outside world as so, so mysterious. β
"But you can learn a lot. If I can go outside, I want to study architecture, and I'm interested in it. β
"I still like fashion, I ......" Olovia stopped abruptly, they knew they were fantasizing, completely unrealistic fantasies. They both talked about their ideals and their yearning for life, and both of them were silent, they both knew that they were not normal people, they were monsters to humans, and they were both a little deflated after they finished speaking.
"This may be our fate."
"Maybe." After Olovia finished speaking, she leaned back in the chair behind her.
"What time is it?"
"Yes, yes...... Soon it should be dawn. β
Olovia nodded, "Looks like it's time for me to go to bed." β
"Yes." Neo stood up and pursed his lips, "You're not like the other Bloods, you're a good guy. β
"Huh? Have you been in contact with us? Olovia asked curiously.
"Yes......" Neo said embarrassedly, "yes, I used to sneak into your castle. β
"Oh...... yes, you told me that William killed your friend." Olovia didn't blame him, if she was as usual, she must have figured out why Neo kidnapped her? But now this doesn't matter, she's already here.
"William, a bastard." Olovia muttered, tilting her head to the side and looking elsewhere.
At this time, the sound of the door opening sounded outside, and the man outside opened the door to look at the two people in the room, and said, "Neo, you have been here too long." β
Neo knew he was leaving, and as he was leaving, he said to Olovia, "It's a pleasure to talk to you, I'll come back in the evening." β
As the door was closing, the man looked at Olovia and said, "Okay, princess, it's daytime, don't play any tricks, and don't expect me to tell you bedtime stories, understand?" With that, the door slammed shut.
Once again, only Olovia was left in the room, and loneliness slowly approached her from the corner.
After saying goodbye to Thomas, Ophelina drove with Resley to Fort Herbert, while Jorah stayed with Thomas in the village's stone house.
Resley and Ophelina arrived near Fort Herbert, they got out of the car and walked through a small forest, and opened a secret door in a rock, and there was a burst of damp smell from it, and there was still a burst of cold air in the night, Resli stood at the door and did not move forward, and a man suddenly appeared behind her, which made Resley very nervous, and Ophelina, who was walking in front, saw Resley's worry, and comforted her and said: "Miss Risley, please don't worry, it's Santemoss, please come with me." β
Resli glanced at Santemoth behind her, followed closely behind Ophelina, and Ophelina said to Resley: "Miss Resley is very sorry, we can't choose to swagger in through the main entrance, it's really ridiculous, there is a mole in my castle, I don't know when we will be poisoned, we can only choose this way." β
Resri knew Ophelina's intentions, "You're the Lord of the Blood, why did this happen?" β
"Driven by profit, no one can put themselves in the right position, not even demons." "You want us to get your daughter out, so how do you explain to the demon?"
"I don't know, this matter is for me, I can't care so much about it now, no one knows what will happen in the future, I just want my daughter to return to me safely."
"If I really come back to you, you'll kill your daughter too, don't you know?"
Yes, Resli spoke of Ophelina's real sore spots, and even if she got her daughter back, she still couldn't get rid of the demon's entanglement.
"Your purpose is not just for us to get your daughter out, but to transfer this contradiction from your clan to us, so that you can get out of it all." Resri stood and looked at Ophelina's back, and Resry held the silver cross in her bag with one hand in her hand.
Ophelina turned to look at Resley, looking at the girl in front of her differently, she nodded and said, "Yes, I don't deny everything you said, it's an opportunity for you and me, although I don't know why you want to get the 'Rib of Death', but you are already caught up in this conspiracy, and you will see what you want in a short distance ahead, what is your choice?" Miss Risery. "'General', she is right, this is a gamble, if I turn around and go back now, I can get out of this predicament, but if I want to get the 'death rib' from the demon again, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, everyone can't put themselves in the right position in front of interests, she has long been aware of this matter. My Choice......
"Okay, I decided to move on. Please, Lady Ophelina. Resley made a gesture of please, and Ophelina nodded in satisfaction.
Ophelina continued to walk forward, and she continued in front of her: "Miss Resley, although you are right, but there is one thing you said wrong, in this conspiracy, we cannot get out of it in any way, we will survive this storm together, demons are not what you think, especially great demons like Mephistopheles Phyllis, they will never stop until they achieve their goals. β
They talked like this, and went up a spiral stone staircase, opened a secret door, and went to the great courtyard, where in the middle of the hall were four large columns, and in the middle of the four pillars was a large round table, and in the middle of the round table was Herbert's coat of arms, which was the hall of the Council.
