Chapter 18: The Mysterious Journey (3)
The ancient castle, which had been quiet because of Jun Tian's departure, soon welcomed a new guest, the same white-haired old butler, leading a man in black to push open the gate of the ancient castle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Long time no see, my old friend."
"Long time no see, Julias."
The same castle, the same host, the new guest was much more casual than the previous one, he admired the decoration of the hall without restraint, while chatting with the host casually.
"You've got a couple of nice collectibles here."
"Thank you!" The owner of the castle bowed his head gracefully, "Giulias is still as attentive as ever!" ”
"Any change is so obvious!" Giulías looked at the owner of the castle, the blonde man sitting on a stone bench in the distance, with a red wine in his hand, "It's 'change', it makes the world alive, and it's fun!" ”
The blonde man's expression was indifferent, and he took a sip of the red wine in the glass: "Sounds reasonable." ”
Julias smiled and walked towards the blonde man, "My old friend, you should really go out in the sun and see the outside world by the way—you will rot if you stay in this gloomy castle for too long!" ”
"I'm a vampire, the sun outside the castle, but it's my natural enemy."
"Now, you're the only one who thinks you're a vampire."
"Anyone else can forget my role, but I can't," the blonde man smiled gracefully, "we all have our own roles that we must play, and we can't overcome—aren't we, old friends?" ”
"I thought you'd hate the rules and order, but was that just my delusion?"
"Hmph......" The corners of the blonde man's mouth curled slightly, and an inexplicable smile appeared, "And what about you, Julias—as the one who guards this set of rules and order, do you like her?" ”
Julias stared at the blonde man for a moment and smiled.
"As a host, aren't you going to treat your guests to a drink?"
"Of course, you may be seated."
The two of them, each with a ghostly child, tacitly agreed not to continue the topic just now, and with a slight wave of his left hand, a set of tables and chairs appeared in front of him, and a bottle of red wine and an empty wine glass were placed on the black stone table.
The host poured red wine for Giulias, who sat down at the stone table, picked up the glass with the red wine and took a sip.
"Great red wine."
"Uh-huh - the top red wine of Château Lafite in the old century, the favorite of the aristocracy!" The blonde man's elegant chin bowed, "Of course, as you can see, it's just a virtual taste program. ”
Giulias smiled and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
"Thank you to the app, she made it possible for us to drink such a good wine!" Guests poured their empty glasses with wine, "a wine that can never be drunk!" ”
"Yes, we should all be grateful to the Creator for creating this world with a program!" The blonde man shook his glass slightly, his eyes fixed on the red wine in the glass, "Because God created this world, we have - and French red wine, which should not have existed!" ”
"So, can I interpret it as - the Count also thinks that rules need to be followed?"
"Why not?" The blonde man waved his hand gracefully, "Rules are everything - it's you, and it's us!" ”
"In that case," Julias put down his glass and looked at the blonde man with a smile on his face, "why didn't the Count give me the 'virus' that threatened the rules of the world of procedure - you know how ...... those things are Evil! ”
"I understand your concerns, my old friend!" The blonde man put down his glass and looked at Giulias with a sincere expression: "But clearing is not the only way to avoid danger, is it?" I can get him out of this world, and that will solve your worries and make me a lot of money—a great deal!" ”
"You've always caused me little trouble, my old friend, it's not good—it's not good!"
"I'm sorry too," the blonde man bowed slightly apologetically, "but Julias, it's business after all, I hope you understand!" ”
"Understood—well," Giulias shrugged slightly helplessly, "what else can I say." ”
The blonde man raised his glass, and Giulas picked it up, and the two of them touched each other.
"Long live understanding."
"Long live understanding."
The two drank the red wine in the glass, and the blonde man put down the glass and stood up: "The unpleasant matter is settled, we can talk about something interesting now - take a look at my recent collection of treasures, I promise, you will be interested!" ”
The host sent an invitation, but Giulias did not get up immediately.
"What we have is time to appreciate your collection, but before that, there's a small issue that has to be addressed."
The blonde man looked at Giulias with a smile on his face and motioned for the latter to continue.
"When your subordinates were saving the 'virus', they took another person with them......"
"Someone seems to have mentioned it to me."
"This person should not be in the Earl's business, so ......"
"He's another 'virus'?"
"He's ......," Julias gave the blonde man a meaningful look, "a little toy of mine!" ”
"That's a shame!" The blonde man bowed slightly.
"Sorry......" Giulias gently turned the glass in his hand, "So, the Count doesn't want me to take him?" ”
"From a personal point of view, I'd love my friend to take his little toy," the blonde man bowed apologetically, "but from an organizational point of view, we have to value our own credibility, even if he's just a ...... Inconsequential giveaways! ”
Julias retracted the smile on his face and looked at the blonde man: "I hope this is not your final answer - Nikolai!" ”
"Business is business!"
Julias stared at the blonde man expressionlessly, the latter's elegant smile did not change in the slightest, and after a moment of silence, Julias suddenly smiled: "Mr. 'Division', can you finally not help but play this game?" ”
The blonde man was noncommittal, still smiling gracefully.
Giulias nodded, stood up from the stone table, and looked at the blonde man with a sneer: "You've made yourself a big problem, a big trouble - I promise!" ”
"What we do best is solve problems."
"Yay!" Julias stretched out his right hand, "So, welcome to you!" ”
"Thank you!" The blonde man also stretched out his right hand and shook Giulias' hand politely.
Julias gave the blonde one last glance and turned to walk towards the gate.
"This game is getting more and more interesting - it's really exciting......"
