Chapter 8: Ambition
Zhou Zhou felt his scalp numb, and remembered that Marcus could read memories through guΓ² blood, if Marcus knew the secret of the main god space, then he would definitely be wiped out!
Marcus dragged Zhou Zhou's arm, bared out sharp fangs, and was about to bite Zhou Zhou's forearm. Zhou Zhou's other hand reached into his pocket and was about to take out the amnestic stick.
At this critical moment, there was a short scream and the sound of something breaking.
Marcus stopped, and together with Victor, he turned his head to see a brown girl looking at Marcus's teeth with a look of horror. At her feet were fragments of a jug.
Zhou Zhou also turned his head at the same time, and when he saw the brown girl, he couldn't help but admire: What a good actor!
The brown girl is none other than Laura, who sees Zhou Zhou in danger and deliberately breaks the wine jar to attract Marcus's attention.
Behind Laura, another old tea servant hurriedly hurried to Laura's side in three steps and two steps, nodded to Victor and said, "I'm really sorry." Master. She was the wife of Old Jack's illegitimate son. I've just been here recently, and my hands and feet are clumsy. β
"Old Jack's bastard?" Victor repeated in confusion.
"Isn't this right next to you, sir? That's right, it's him, I have a deep impression of him, it's the illegitimate child of Old Jack and a Tatar woman, who can speak Tatar. I came a month ago, and I was impressed by his face when I saw it. The old servant of the tea pointed at Zhou Zhou, and said while making up his mind.
Zhou Zhou knew that it was a side effect of the amnestic stick.
Marcus and Victor glanced at each other and let go of Zhou Zhou's hand.
"Do you know Tatar?" Victor asked Zhou Zhoudao.
"What's wrong?" Marcus looked at Victor with a puzzled expression.
"We took a Tatar prisoner, but no one in the fort knew Tatar. What is your name? Bastard. Victor turned his head and asked Zhou Zhoudao.
"Zhou Zhou." Zhou Zhou replied.
"Come with me after the banquet." Victor commanded.
"Can I go along?" Marcus said.
"Okay." Victor replied casually.
At this time, the actor in the middle of the wine table is playing **.
Baldwin IV and Saladin confronted each other in the desert, with a glittering golden cross beside them, and thousands of silver knights painted on the drawing board behind them, fluttering white, red and blue knightly flags, like a kind of mirage, a desolate and beautiful magnificent picture.
The king said in an unquestionable royal tone: "Withdraw the troops, or die together, and I will dispose of Renald!" βγ
With such domineering attitude, Saladin, the king of Arabia, finally retreated.
Marcus stared at the Iron Mask of Baldwin IV and whispered the Leper King's line: "Retreat, or die together." Jerusalem, I am the only one. β

Two hours later, Fort Saint-Emma was underground.
The four of them walked in a quiet, narrow passageway, the sound of footsteps echoing, and the torches on both sides of the passage illuminated their faces.
At the front was an ordinary soldier, walking slowly with a torch so that his seriously ill lord Victor could keep up with him. Behind Victor were Marcus and Zhou Zhou.
As a group, they turned several long stairs and finally reached the dungeon.
Before I reached the dungeon, I heard a burst of abuse from inside.
Zhou Zhou and the others walked into the dungeon, the dungeon was stuffy and shabby, and several four jailers who were originally sitting on the ground gambling saw Victor and quickly stood up.
The soldier leading the way stuck torches into the iron frame by the wall.
Zhou Zhou looked at this underground prison carefully.
The cells are arranged on either side of a long walkway. Surprisingly, the aisle was much wider than the one Zhou Zhou and the others had passed. Zhou Zhou estimated in his heart that the passage was just four arms wide, and it was estimated that it was designed so wide so that the soldiers would not be caught by the prisoners on both sides when they walked in the middle.
Near the exit, there is an open space where the jailers rest.
There was a faint smell of feces and urine in the air, probably because the dungeon was too deep to clean up.
On the straw-covered floor, buckets sit on the side of the dinner plate.
"Bring that Tatar here." Victor commanded.
The jailers went deeper into the prison and dragged the Tatars out of their cells.
The Tatars described it as withered, their faces were blue and purple, and it was obvious that they had been badly repaired before.
Victor motioned for Zhou Zhou to step forward.
"Where are your troops stationed?" Zhou Zhou asked Victor the question.
The Tatar began to talk slowly, his gaze swept from left to right, and when his gaze swept to Marcus, his gaze froze, and he took a deep breath, and suddenly spat on Marcus's face, and then burst into a curse.
"It's you! It's the leprosy curse spread by your Knights of Dusk!! Immortal Heaven will punish you! The shaman has found the antidote, and she'll kill you, the wizard. β
ββββββWhat's going on!?
Zhou Zhou was extremely shocked in his heart, he turned his head to look at Marcus, and when he saw Marcus's clear face, he knew that the Mongolian soldiers were telling the truth.
Zhou Zhou's heart was in a hurry, and he immediately figured out the reason why Marcus did this.
As more and more people contracted leprosy, more and more people were sent to Blackcastle, and these patients would not refuse to be turned into vampires by Marcus in order to survive, so that Marcus had a large number of men out of thin air. And the arrival of the Mongols is equivalent to giving him a place to blame, anyway, the Mongol Western Expeditionary Corps has a black history of slaughtering cities and spreading plagues.
Combined with Zhou Zhou's impression of Marcus when he watched the movie before, Marcus is a very ambitious person, and in Tales of the Night I, he once hoped to join forces with his younger brother Mad Werewolf William to seize power. So, there's a good chance that what the captive said was true.
Victor looked at Zhou Zhou suspiciously, asking him to translate.
Zhou Zhou also counted on Victor and Marcus to cooperate to capture the werewolf ancestor William, of course, it was impossible to tell the truth, so he made up nonsense: "He didn't say anything, he just kept scolding." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Marcus slammed down on the captive, bared his fangs, and bit down on the captive's neck.
The captives struggled, their eyes widening in horror.
The bruises on his face quickly faded, his face gradually turned gray, his cheeks were sunken, and soon he could almost see the outline of the skeleton, and his figure quickly shrank and shrunk.
Marcus sucked more and more, until he sucked the captives into dry corpses before letting go of him, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and said, "I know where the eagle's nest is." β
