Chapter 7 Conversations
After the battle, the soldiers each cleaned the battlefield,
Zhou Zhou carefully examined the werewolf corpse, and after the werewolf died, it did not return to its human form, but still maintained its werewolf form.
Meanwhile, Laura asks others about the castle. At first, she was worried about the language barrier, but she soon realized that even if she spoke Chinese, the other party could understand it. This is not to say that the local natives speak Chinese, but that the main god who teleported her "filtered" her words into the local language. In the same way, when the natives talk to her, she can understand them.
"What, you ask me what kind of place is this!? This is Fort Santa Emma. What the? Where is Fort St Emma? At............ Near one of the eagle's nests in Assasin. Old Native Jack replied.
"What? What are the famous landmarks nearby, you ask? What is Landmark? Famous place. Yes. There is an eagle's nest nearby, which is said to contain a lot of Assasin's killers. However, it was already occupied by the Mongols. ”
After a bunch of such ghost-like conversations, Zhou Zhou and the others finally figured out the location of the castle.
Located at the junction of Europe, Asia and Africa, the castle is close to the elite troops of the Islamic Empire, Makeluu, the remnants of the Eagle's Nest of Assasin, and the recently arrived Mongol Expeditionary Army. The owner of the realm is Victor. That is, the villain in the first and third parts of Tales of the Night. Vampire Count. The heroine, Serena, the goddess of the moon, is his adopted daughter, and he also appeared the first mutant werewolf Lucien, and infected other human slaves through Lucien, creating a large number of modern werewolves.
During the conversation, Laura also casually asked Victor why he was wearing a mask.
"Why is the lord wearing a mask? The Tatars from the east brought leprosy. They threw the dead lepers in catapults. A lot of people have already been infected. Poor little Jack. God is so unfair. ………… All the lepers were sent to the Black Castle by the lord. The lord also contracted leprosy. I heard that his lips were rotten, so I had to wear a mask. ”
They then remembered that Victor met Marcus when he was seriously ill and dying, and on the condition of helping Marcus capture the ancestor Werewolf William, Marcus turned Victor into a vampire.
Now Victor is just a mortal with leprosy.
Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacillus leprae, mainly in the skin and peripheral nerves. The clinical manifestations are numbing skin lesions, enlarged nerves, and mild disfigurement, severe and even limb disability.
People who are infected with this disease are usually no longer sensitive to pain. Zhou Zhou sometimes suspects that the reason why Zhao Yun in the comic Fire Phoenix Liaoyuan has no pain is because he once had leprosy, and some of his nerves have died.
Zhou Zhou followed Old Jack, slowly plucked a feather arrow from the body of a Mongolian soldier, and threw it into the back basket, secretly thinking about how to contact Marcus and them. If this is a movie, he must be a passerby. Damn Victor, I killed a werewolf anyway, so I'm going to have to look the other way and promote him. That way he wouldn't have to think about how to get in touch with them.
Just then he saw a young man dressed as a servant passing by with a wine barrel in his arms.
"Where are the wines going to be delivered?" Zhou Zhou touched Old Jack, who was taking off his boots from the Mongolian soldiers.
Old Jack picked up a severed foot from the ground, took off his boots, measured the size of the foot, and then slowly stood up, hammered his waist and replied, "Didn't we just win a victory?" I guess the lord is going to have a banquet. The mercenaries of the Knights of Dusk will go too. ”
Zhou Zhou casually glanced at the broken foot, and now the broken foot has no toes, so he persuaded Old Jack: "This shoe is still lost." Maybe there is leprosy. ”
Old Jack carefully put his shoes into the package on his back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just wash it." My Big Jack grows fast and he needs boots. ”
Zhou Zhou and the others persuaded hard for a while, but Old Jack was still unmoved. Zhou Zhou thought to himself that sometimes it was not God who tortured you, it was you who tortured yourself.
Zhou Zhou and Laura walked to the kitchen, and on the way, they heard a lot of people talking about the Mongols.
"I heard that the Tatar lord is a wizard who can drive zombies. Giant wolf. ”
"Who said you didn't see that corpse? Obviously turned the wolf into a man! ”
"I heard that a new captive was captured, but the captive was not afraid of pain at all and did not speak."
"Who said that. My wife's younger brother's son worked in the dungeon, and he said that the captives said a lot. But we don't understand at all. ”
"There are only three literate people in the whole castle. Not to mention the Tatar words and noise. ”
Zhou Zhou and Laura put on their sunglasses and walked to the wooden door at the end of the corridor, behind which was the kitchen.
Laura pushed them away, Zhou Zhou raised the amnestic stick and flashed inside, and the kitchen man and cook looked at him stunned, his eyes blank.
Zhou Zhou coughed and said, "I'm a new servant." A relative of Old Jack and a little Tatar. This is my wife, and we're coming over now to help. Go about your business. ”
Saying that, Zhou Zhou and the others stepped forward, and one of them left with a small wine barrel and walked towards the hall.
At this time, a servant passed by Zhou Zhou and glanced at Zhou Zhou curiously.
Zhou Zhou gradually walked away, only to hear the sound of conversation behind him.
"Who are they?"
"New here. Old Jack's distant relative. ”
"Isn't Old Jack's relative already dead?"
"You don't know. It's been months. He's the illegitimate son of Old Jack. His mother was a Tatar. So he knew Tatar. ”
"I mean, I think I've seen him."
Entering the castle gate is the main hall, which is centered in a U-shape with four side tables and a VIP table. In the center of the U-shaped table and chair is an open space, where several masked actors perform the story of Baldwin IV, the leper king of Jerusalem, defeating Saladin.
Zhou Zhou followed the other servants and helped the guests pour wine. The guests washed their hands with towels and water, and under the guidance of the servants, they sat down, each with a knife, a spoon and paper towel in front of him, but no forks.
Zhou Zhou carefully observed the guests, and judging from their calluses and sharp eyes, they were all experienced mercenaries.
The mercenaries were mostly hungry, and everywhere there was "starvation." When will it start or something.
The sounds of conversation, laughter, and the knocking of plates merge into a noisy buzz.
In the middle of the hall, at the VIP table across the two side tables, Marcus sat quietly, his hands together, his elbows resting on the table, his eyes looking ahead, but completely out of focus, as if thinking about something.
Zhou Zhou felt that he must be thinking about the werewolf soldiers.
"The lord has arrived!"
Lord Victor entered the hall after all the guests had sat down and sat down, he did not sit at the same table as Marcus and them, but had a small table on his own. This is not to underestimate the Knights of Dusk. Zhou Zhou noticed that Victor had been wearing gloves and a hat with a veil on his head.
The veil shook when Victor sat down, and Zhou Zhou saw that behind the veil was a terrifying face that had lost its lips and exposed its gums.
Victor got up, raised his wine, and said loudly with all his might: "God bless Fort St. Emma." God bless the Knights of Dusk. ”
The mercenaries also shouted in unison: "God forbid! ”
Victor continued, "Let's pray. Then he sat down.
All the guests sat down and prayed silently, and even the servants stopped moving.
Only Zhou Zhou was still looking around carelessly, he was not praying at the moment, Marcus Snow looked at Victor thoughtfully, and Victor's eyes swept away from the praying crowd blankly.
Soon, the prayers were over, the trumpets sounded in the hall, and the opening dishes came up.
First came a plate of oatmeal bisque, then stewed pork, then salted fish, and so on.
At the banquet, Marcus and Victor were quiet, except for the mercenaries' drinking and laughing. Marcus could only drink blood, and Victor had lost his appetite due to leprosy.
Halfway through the feast, Marcus took the initiative to come to Victor's side with a wine glass.
Victor looked at Marcus in surprise, as if he didn't understand why Marcus was approaching a leper like him.
In order to hear their conversation clearly, Zhou Zhou leaned in that direction while whispering a prayer that the mysterious stud that had teleported him would have the ability to cure leprosy.
As soon as he approached the wooden table, Zhou Zhou was surprised to see Marcus pressing his little finger with a knife and gritting his teeth to press it down.
Victor's eyes widened behind the leather mask, and he watched as Marcus elegantly pinched his severed finger and inserted it into the apple pie, picked up the small pie and swallowed it in one gulp.
Then something that surprised Victor even more was born.
Marcus's severed finger healed quickly, and then a grain of rice-sized flesh teeth bulged, and the meat bun slowly expanded like popcorn, gradually becoming a very Xiuzhen's little finger, Xiuzhen's little finger clicked and grew, and finally intact again.
"I can cure you of leprosy. Not only that, but the Grim Reaper will never be able to bother you. God can't force you to take you away. Imagine being able to take off your leather mask and take off your hood. Don't be afraid to look in the mirror. ”
After the mask, Victor's breathing became more and more rapid.
He stared at the other party with burning eyes: "What about the conditions?" "Give me the Black Castle."
Victor raised his glass, stared at Marcus, took a few sips, put it down, and said, "There are a lot of lepers in Black Castle. If you make them all like you. Your power will be able to overtake me. Why should I promise you. ”
"You won't live long without my help. And your territory could disappear at any time under the onslaught of Tatars and leprosy. Give me those sick people, and I can turn them into the best soldiers I can be. ”
“
Victor stared at Marcus and suddenly laughed low, his voice getting louder and creepy.
A flash of annoyance flashed in Marcus' eyes, and he frowned and said, "You think we can't beat the Tatars." ”
Vik Duo smiled and said, "The Russian Duke Galich wants to defeat the Tatars. But the Tatars defeated the allied Rus' army of Duke Galich on the banks of the Dakalka River, killing six minor kings at once. In the Battle of Valstadt, Duke Henry of Poland wanted to defeat the Tatars, and he led an elite force of the Knights Templar, the Knights Hospitaller, and the Teutonic Knights to attack the Mongols, but was completely annihilated by the Tatars! You're not as strong as an ordinary knight. There aren't many people in Black Castle either, so why are you defeating the Tatars! ”
"Please don't judge us by human eyes." Marcus Road.
Victor took another sip of wine and turned his head to look at Zhou Zhoudao. "You look like a Tatar. I don't seem to have seen you before. ”
"I" Zhou Zhou opened his mouth.
Zhou Zhou had been listening openly beside him for a while. Marcus: They didn't seem to care about Zhou Zhou's eavesdropping at all.
Victor asked Marcus again, "Is he your man?" ”
Marcus shook his head, put down his wine glass, and grabbed Zhou Zhou's wrist violently.
Zhou Zhou was so frightened that he wanted to pull his hand out, he remembered Marcus's bloodsucking memory skills,
Then I thought of the rules of the Lord God. Leak the information of the main god's space and obliterate it!
