Auguste was clearly hesitant about Vivien's construction, he had become accustomed to living alone, living in isolation, keeping his own secrets, constantly changing his identity - he had been a merchant, a farmer, a hunter, a prisoner, a soldier, and even a smuggler, and each of them would not last more than twenty or thirty years, and now that he was going to Andrei Castle, this would change, and he was not ready to reintegrate with the common people.

"Mistress, I'm sorry," August stood up and bent down to Vivien with a slight uneasiness, "I...... I'm not ready. The people of the Andre family may not be able to accept an immortal like me, and most humans may not be able to accept it. They can accept a witch or wizard who has lived from the Middle Ages to the present day, but it is difficult to recognize such an ordinary person, I ......"

"Oh, I didn't think it through," Vivien nodded, "and you're going to continue to live like this?" ”

"I'm used to it," August squeezed out a smile, "it's not that difficult to go back and forth between life and death, and wizards who seek forbidden powers can live well." I'll continue to keep in touch with Andre's family, and maybe move to a new environment, but anyway, the voice is gone, and there won't be any worse days in the future. ”

Vivien looked at the human who had gained immortality, and after pondering silently, she suddenly waved her hand and summoned a small bat: "Paul, stretch out your hand, I want to do something to prevent things in the future." ”

August was confused but did not hesitate, he stretched out his left hand, and Vivien's little bat quickly flew over and bit a small scar on his arm. August frowned. I found that there were a few faint black lines spread out on my arm, and then faded away.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to have a short-lived breed that has an overly long lifespan and no supervision. Eternal life requires special gifts and willpower, and I will not allow my servants to do acts that will disgrace me. This blood will protect you. If you meet one of my descendants or other blood related to me in the future, it will also help you prove your identity and give you the right to talk to them on an equal footing. But it will also spy on you - Paul, don't let me down, if one day you can't stand this eternal life, you'd better end it yourself, I don't want to know from the news of blood that you've fallen into a monster. ”

Auguste's face changed slightly, but in the end he nodded indifferently: "Your foresight is necessary, and I will not disappoint the blood you have given." ”

"Rest assured. Paul," Vivien laughed, "I'm not a voyeur and have no interest in spying on other people's every move: it will only call the police when you're insane, and it will do you more harm than good." And...... It also cures your 'bleeding' by the way. Every time you approach the 60-year-old mark, you can easily order it. ”

August: "......"

The group said goodbye to Auguste, and when they came to the outside of the wooden house, Hao Rencai touched Vivien's arm, and his tone was very subtle: "Anyway, your aura was quite strong just now, I have never seen you so stylish." ”

"Yes?" Vivien looked confused, then lowered her head and continued to study the intricately structured wooden box in her hand. It's the one that installed the "stone" before, "To be honest, I'm quite curious about this......"

"What's this curious about?" Hao Ren had already taken the two stones in his hand and was throwing them around, "Isn't it an empty box now?" ”

"Paul said I gave it to him on purpose. And I've been told to keep it safe, because I'll come and get it someday," Vivien said, rummaging through the wooden box. "It shows that I thought it was important back then -- but now I don't remember it at all."

Lily looked at the wooden box and thought, "It should be because of poverty." ”

Hao Ren squinted at her: "Can this have anything to do with poverty?" ”

"Look at how delicate this box is, how much money this thing was thrown back then. Based on the poor appearance of the bat back then, it is estimated that this is the most valuable thing she has in hand, and it must be kept by the servant. It's so much more important than a stone. ”

"If it's such an important thing, why don't I just keep it close to myself? Instead, leave it to someone else to help keep it? ”

"Because you're going to sleep," Lily glanced at Vivien, "maybe you don't sleep well and you're afraid you'll be crushed, or maybe you're afraid you'll wake up and forget what the box is all about, and sell it or break it—so you give it to your servant and stress it so much that it's important that in the future, if you have the chance to find Lekikh's descendants, even if you forget what the box is for, at least someone will remind you that it's important, and you'll not be so poor as to trade it for money." ”

Nangong May looked at Lily in a daze: "...... Okay, I can't see that your logical thinking is so thorough. ”

Lily crossed her hands on her hips, and there seemed to be a tail flicking behind her body: "How many times have I said it, I'm smart!" ”

Vivien rarely agreed with Lily this time: "The big dog may be right, this thing must have a special meaning...... I asked the servant to keep it for me, and I must have foreseen that I would forget the meaning of the box. I'm going to study it when I get back. ”

"Before we do that, we have to study whether these two stones are the 'keys' that open the door to the wrath," Hao Ren put the two ancient devices in his pocket, "Terminal, teleportation - I hope Igor has prepared lunch." ”

The castle was celebrating the first peaceful day in three hundred years, the servants were happily running up and down to clean all the corners of the castle, every window was polished, the portraits of Andrei's ancestors in the corridor were also wiped off the dust to reveal a more brilliant color, even the zombie-faced butler and the gloomy old servant in the courtyard were doing their business with a smile on their faces.

Igor stood in the hall watching the servants prepare a hearty lunch, and his children stood beside him. Anna and Akim weren't in great health, but even the worst of them insisted on walking around the castle: the poor young man, who had been locked in the house for many years, never wanted to be in that little cage again.

"Dad, those masters will come back, right?" Anna looked at her father.

Igor smiled shyly: "Yes, they have magical magic, they can travel to and from all parts of the world in an instant-Anna, remember to salute the next time you see a witch, our whole family is built on ......"

Before Igor could finish speaking, the space beside him suddenly distorted, and then a white light appeared out of thin air, and Vivian's voice came from the white light: "I said don't be so nervous about the witch legend, I won't eat people." ”

Igor was startled and hurried up to greet him, and Vivien waved her hand: "I can't stand such troublesome etiquette - the second stone is in hand, and we will start studying the matter of the evil spirit gate." ”

Igor asked cautiously: "May I ask the ...... of the Lekikh family"

"August? He's fine," Vivien nodded, "but he's not going to come to meet you." The curse of the evil spirit is over, and he plans to start a new life, so that you 'two families' will not have to worry about this in the future. ”

"It's like a dream." Igor sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Lily stared at the sumptuous lunch on the long table, her tongue was almost unable to take it back, even though Hao Ren was tugging at her collar from behind, she still rushed forward: "Eat, eat, eat...... I want to eat! I want to eat! ”

As soon as Hao Ren let go, he watched Lily sweep to the table like a whirlwind: these two goods have probably never seen such a grand banquet in their lives, and the intellectuals of the Republic of China must still not be able to compare with this kind of three-hundred-year-old local tyrant......

After lunch, Hao Ren didn't waste time, but directly led people to the underground of the castle, ready to study the rift.

This time, Igor, his own children, and a few old servants followed him to the entrance of the dungeon, and the iron door that separated the world from the other world no longer had hoarfrost spreading, and after the cold aura dissipated, it looked like an ordinary door. Igor looked in awe at the darkness behind the iron gate: "This is another world down here? ”

"It's another space, in the gap between the real world," Vivien said to the dark and deep Yongdao Nunu inside, "Actually, if you plan to go in, it's not impossible, after all, the evil spirit is gone, but if you want to go in, it's best to set up enough lights and rest stations along the way, the vastness inside is beyond your imagination, and it's as cold as the snowfield outside, once you get lost in that place, don't think about coming back alive." ”

Igor shrunk his neck: "Please don't laugh, who would dare to enter such a place?" ”

What he didn't notice was that as he said this, Anna next to him was staring at the darkness with a pensive expression.

Anna remembered the things that the Wraith had whispered in her head earlier, and some of them seemed to help. (To be continued......)
