Chapter 13: Alice out of the plot
Zhang Xiaofan likes to linger in the flowers, and his personality is also more casual, so sometimes in order to eradicate evil spirits, it is inevitable to take drastic measures, wear a mask, put on makeup, and then the locals naturally arrange this credit to Van Helsing.

"How did you come to this remote town?"
Zhang Xiaofan picked up the whiskey that the proprietress poured for herself, took a sip, turned his head and asked.
"Didn't you come too?"
As a lonely killer, Van Helsing is quite happy to be lucky enough to meet a fellow practitioner, at least he will not be without help in case of emergencies.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhang Xiaofan asked.
"No way, take him back to the Holy See and let those people deal with it."
Van Helsing had already understood part of the situation, and frowned, he had dealt with many werewolf murders, but it was the first time he had encountered a werewolf like this who had not yet killed someone.
The two were slightly silent, and Van Helsing suddenly asked, "Do you have a way?" ”
"No," Zhang Xiaofan opened his eyes and said nonsense, if he let the Holy See know that he had a way, he would not be dismantled.
"Then let's wait for the night of the full moon," Van Helsing took a sip of whiskey, and asked the magistrate to take him to John's house first to familiarize himself with the way.
Zhang Xiaofan continued to walk around the town, and when he met Van Helsing, he would save himself some effort at most, and let him get rid of the demon this time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan took the train that night and planned to go back to London.
There was an accident in London, and the five girls disappeared.
In the past half a month, Zhang Xiaofan has never left Blackmore Town, and he has never been in contact with Sophia's five daughters, so he can only hurriedly find the Lazar family's business group in London.
The owner of the ball is not too famous, but the five girls appear with a famous person. Of course, this 'big name' is relative to Zhang Xiaofan, and for others, it is just a little girl.
Alice has been in fear these days, a month after the death of her father, the great investment businessman Charles Kingsley.
Because of the death of his father, the family has no pillars, and the family's expensive expenses make the originally wealthy mother and daughter a little struggling. In order to maintain the luxurious life of the aristocracy, the mother planned to marry Hamis, so that her family would have a new investor, and the family fortune could be merged with Hamis's family.
"But then my father's life's work will disappear completely, and he will become a vassal of men," Alice wants to prevent such a thing from happening, and ends up running into five women, one of whom claims to be her grandmother, and who has the blood of the great Lazar family.
These five women look so young, how could such a ridiculous thing happen, but they feel that the other party is not lying.
Then the six of them met a rabbit in a dress at a dance party, accidentally entered a strange world, and after a big war, Alice returned to reality, holding five tokens from her grandmother, successfully gaining the approval of the Lazar family and getting asset protection.
Just as Alice was lamenting the wonder of life, another man appeared in front of her, and in Lazar's merchant group, portraits of this man were hung everywhere.
"I've seen the Holy Emperor," Alice flicked the corner of her skirt and made a lady's salute.
Zhang Xiaofan smiled and helped up this famous girl, who looked average, but her eyes showed stubbornness, and her blood flowed in her blood, although she was already very thin, but she was her descendant.
"Don't see me like that, usually they call me ancestor, or grandfather, or just call me by name," Zhang Xiaofan walked to the sofa and sat down.
Alice very obediently poured a cup of coffee and brought it over, skillfully putting a spoonful of sugar: "Then I'll call you Fan, Grandma Lepei told me that you like people to call you by your Chinese name." ”
"Yes," Zhang Xiaofan nodded, Alice is a descendant of Lepei, and Charles's maternal grandmother is the daughter of Lepei's granddaughter, so Alice is considered his sixth generation heir.
"All five of them stayed in that place and wouldn't come out?" Zhang Xiaofan drank a cup of coffee and asked.
"Yes, it's a very wonderful place, and they have a lot of fun in it......," Alice gushes about Wonderland, and it's rare for someone to trust her and listen to her tell her about the strange things.
The two sat from three o'clock in the afternoon until dinner time, because there was no fixed entrance to the magical wonderland, and if no one came out to lead it, even Alice could not enter directly. So Zhang Xiaofan can only stay in London and wait, during which Zhang Xiaofan naturally has nothing to do. Teach Taixuan's granddaughter Alice some cultivation techniques, so that this poor girl can also have more resistance in the face of unexpected events.
Since Zhang Xiaofan established the kingdom, it has been more than 300 years since the birth of the first child, Rayla, and the heirs have continued to multiply, and now, there are nine generations of descendants on the family tree, and the Lazar family alone has more than 10,000 direct descendants, not to mention the kinship derived from the daughter of the foreign marriage. Therefore, Zhang Xiaofan's descendants are conservatively estimated to be as many as 50,000, and even some heirs who are unwilling to live in the name of Lazar may be even more.
With the dilution of blood from generation to generation, not every generation is lucky enough or capable of giving themselves a perfect life, such as Alice's aunt, Imokin, who is a stupid idiot who lives in her own fantasies every day.
If it was someone else, Zhang Xiaofan might have to smile, but this is his own offspring, Zhang Xiaofan inevitably asked the merchant group to activate the emergency plan for the heir, and a pill to restore youth was sent to this stupid woman.
He sent someone to send her back to the Moore Kingdom to re-educate her, and after more than ten years of education, this woman will be rejuvenated and re-enter society.
Of course, not everyone is so lucky, all because Alice is a child who is lucky and can bring good luck to herself and those around her.
After another month, Van Helsing killed Benjamin and returned to the Vatican on a mission.
The five women still did not come out, Zhang Xiaofan was bored, and every day except for going to the business group to have a look, he was shopping in London at the end of the nineteenth century.
The air quality in gray London is not good, and Zhang Xiaofan can only try to keep himself in a good mood, for example, on the corner of the commercial street, there is an antique shop, where a woman who has just passed away her fiancé is waiting to be comforted.
After Benjamin's death, Gwen Conleaver had no inheritance over John Sr.'s property because the two were not married, and the magistrate of the local town would find a way to inform John Sr.'s eldest son. As for Gwen, who has experienced a mental ordeal, she returns to London and just wants to use her busy life to heal the pain in her heart.
Gold and silver in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.
The British Commonwealth, which had just experienced a great war, was busy resuming production, and all the gold and silver treasures wanted to collect more. Antiques are something that only the powerful can think of and buy, so Gwen's antique shop is very business-oriented.
Zhang Xiaofan appeared for a week, but he didn't see a single guest come to the door. Every time I looked through the window, I saw Gwen, a woman wiping the dust off the antique relics alone, and her demure demeanor seemed out of place with the busy commercial street.
"Hello sir, please wait a moment," Gwen struggled to move a wolf-headed guard from Egypt back into place, and had just accidentally slipped off the pedestal, but fortunately there was a shelf next to it, and it was not broken, otherwise, he would have to spend a lot of money to repair it.
"I'll come," Zhang Xiaofan reached over, grabbed the neck under the wolf's head with one hand, and put it back in place directly.
"You've got a lot of strength."
Gwen was a little shocked, the weight of this wolf-headed guard was clearly written on the introductory board below: "Bronze statue of wolf's head, weighing thirty-seven pounds." "Thirty-seven pounds is equivalent to about eighty kilograms, and the weight of an adult man, if it is lightweight in Zhang Xiaofan's hands, he will weigh it like that.
Zhang Xiaofan just smiled lightly at this: "Seeing that you are busy here, is this your storefront?" ”
"Yes," Gwen wore a long tunic dress, which was very fashionable and beautiful. Nowadays, British people like thin waists and exaggerated skirts, and Gwen's figure is quite good, with bumps and bumps, so a long green skirt looks particularly glamorous when worn on the body.
"Beautiful lady, I'm visiting London for the first time, can you accompany me on a tour of the Thames?"
Perhaps because of the existence of Zhang Xiaofan's variable, the world has changed a lot. Not only the pattern of European countries has changed, but even the whole world has been a lot less war and more peaceful because of Zhang Xiaofan's appearance.
First of all, because of Zhang Xiaofan's existence, the American War of Independence did not start at all, and the United States is not a completely independent country until now, but a member of the British Commonwealth.
Canada was supposed to be part of the United Kingdom, but now it is under French rule. In addition, Eastern Europe, which was originally chaotic, was still trembling and succumbing to the huge army of the Prussian Confederation, and continued to advance on the same road of the same language.
At that time, Zhang Xiaofan initiated the unified weights and measures and the same strategy of the same language, although it had failed, and because of his abdication, the whole of Europe once again fell into a situation of division and confrontation between countries.
However, because he developed a large number of advanced systems, the entire European industrial revolution was advanced by half a century, and the most influential of them were transportation systems such as trains and media means such as photography and video.
Cinema developed even more rapidly, and by the end of the nineteenth century, simultaneous sound films were produced more than thirty years earlier. Simultaneous sound films, which were supposed to appear in Paris after the First World War, are now available in London at the end of the 19th century.
And the quality of the picture on the film cloth is very good, after watching a comedy movie with Gwen, watching her sadness for many days finally fade, Zhang Xiaofan relieved his heart, a woman with a bitter face all day long, it will be easy to get old.
"Thank you," Gwen said as she left the cinema, still in a good mood.
"As a friend, I hope you can be happy every day," Zhang Xiaofan really regards this woman as a friend of his, so it is also appropriate to make his friend happy and help her relieve her mood.
"I still want to thank you for being with me," Gwen also knows a little about Zhang Xiaofan's situation, and even went to the youth hostel with the maid to find him when he was in Blackmore Town, so he only regarded him as a friend in his heart, and did not really plan to date as a boyfriend and girlfriend.
London is so big, Zhang Xiaofan really didn't need to touch Gwen's rose, sent Gwen back to his residence, and walked less than two streets to Alice's school, a girls' high school.
