247. Like-minded
But after an afternoon of travel, nothing went wrong, and as the sun went down, the convoy came to the foot of a mountain and stopped there.
Malte came over and greeted Zhou Chu: "The convoy needs to stop here." ”
Zhou Chu nodded, then walked down from the carriage, then closed the door, and looked at the surrounding environment, several carriages were parked by the woods in the distance, and several coachmen were busy, as if they were preparing dinner, and behind them, a winding, uneven mountain road, breaking through the stones, climbed into the distance.
"This is the Lorenzo Mountains, and usually we have dinner at the foot of the mountain, and then we go up the mountain, and in the middle of the night, we go halfway up the mountain, where there is a good place to rest and spend the night, and then we set out again at dawn, and we go over the most dangerous and steep places, and we reach the plains and hills, and we will be able to reach Bucharest by the evening of the day after tomorrow."
"Hmm." Zhou Chu still nodded, he was just a hitchhiker, so he was not qualified to point fingers at others, as long as he could arrive on time, it was just nighttime......
He looked at Malte, "Doesn't it matter if you're a vampire?" ”
"Well, it's fine." "We chose to leave in the afternoon because of this, because vampires rarely move around the mountain, and even if they do attack people, it's only after they leave the mountain," Malte said. ”
"For what?" Zhou Chu felt a little strange, if according to his understanding of a vampire, such a steep mountain and terrain would be more suitable for being able to run and climb quickly, as well as be able to turn into a bat. A vampire with an absolute preponderance in the night.
"I don't know, there is a legend ......" Malte looked around and lowered his voice, "There is a legend that in this mountain, somewhere, there is the bones of a certain ancestor of vampires, and this ancestor likes to be close to and socialize with humans, so most vampires. will not attack humans in this mountain. As a sign of respect. ”
Vampire bones? Zhou Chu raised his head and looked at the rugged mountain road in front of him that seemed to lead to a gloomy place, vampires cared about these things very much? If it was him, he wouldn't care. Except in this mountain. What can threaten yourself. Or something restraining one's existence.
Seem...... There was something funny, he sniffed the air, the air was pervasive. In addition to the dampness and cold, there is also the smell of dead people and revenants.
Dinner was settled around a bonfire, some cheeses, some bacon, and a leg of lamb and brown bread over the campfire, and Zhou Chu didn't say much during the whole dinner, just listened to Marte and the coachman and his wife chatting about the recent situation in Bucharest and the situation in various places, most of which were still related to business.
From their conversation, Zhou Chu learned that Bucharest is the largest and most prosperous commercial center in the Commonwealth of Travania, so even if it is the largest vampire gathering place and the administrative center of the vampires, it can't stand the merchants who have a strong desire for money and wealth to go, and because it is the administrative center of the vampires, it will not happen for vampires to attack humans and other bad events, so in the Commonwealth of Travania, it has formed a center away from Bucharest and radiates to the surroundings." Absolutely in the sense of "on the safety circle."
On the contrary, the farther away from Bucharest, the more vicious cases of vampires will be.
In other words, the current vampire rulers of the Commonwealth of Travania hope to be able to coexist peacefully with humans, or at least maintain such a situation, as for the farther away, the more likely the vicious case is, but it is also because of the distance of the mountain emperor, so the power of the church has always been able to penetrate, but it cannot penetrate the relationship.
It's just that vampires are really able to coexist with humans? Zhou Chu put a question mark in his heart, it seems that he can in theory, but in fact...... In fact, human beings must not know certain truths, and some truths can be well concealed and controlled - the so-called truth, that is, the food that vampires rely on to survive, is blood, not the blood of animals, but the blood of humans, not the blood of animals, but the blood of animals, but compared with the blood of humans, it is like a nest that you have to eat when you are poor, and the other is a delicacy, how to choose, the answer is almost imminent.
So in Bucharest, vampires can coexist with humans, it is obvious that they have found a suitable way, Zhou Chu wants to know what the Dao is - if he arrives in Bucharest, after completing Karen's commission, there is still some time before departure, he is somewhat interested in knowing what the Dao is for, and testing the strength of the vampires in the political center and gathering place of the vampires.
Even he couldn't say where this feeling of eagerness came from, but he had such thoughts and desires.
In order not to make himself seem too isolated and cold, Zhou Chu also interjected from time to time, asked irrelevant questions, and occasionally described the world outside of Travania, but it was according to the medieval customs in his memory, plus the description of some fantasy novels in his memory, maybe if there are people who have also traveled to the world here, they can find flaws, but neither Malte nor his wife, nor the six coachmen, have been to places other than Travania, So it's a good thing to listen to.
However, the two little lolis of the Malte family seemed to be a little shy, and they kept hiding behind their mothers, looking at Zhou Chu from time to time, but more often, Zhou Chu could still feel that the eyes of the two little girls had always fallen on his wrists and on the string of aqua blue bracelets, but Zhou Chu just thought that the two little girls felt that the chain made of a drop of water was very beautiful, so they kept looking at it.
After the sky was completely dark, and the last ray of sunlight also fell into the horizon, this dinner with a good atmosphere also came to an end, and after a simple greeting, Zhou Chu climbed into his own carriage again, and then closed the window that was not exquisite, but it was quite transparent.
After a while, the vehicle began to move, and after a while, it began to be stable from the beginning, becoming a little shaky, and he could feel the bumps and ruggedness, I was afraid that he had entered the mountain, Zhou Chu thought, but such ruggedness and bumps could not affect him anything, so he closed his eyes and planned to enter a state of false sleep, so as to minimize the metabolism and other consumption required by his body functions, and maximize the conservation of energy and physical strength, which was also why he could go to Bucharest alone, One of the reasons why they still chose the carriage.
But as soon as Zhou Chu closed his eyes, he felt a chill on his wrist, like a small whirlwind, detached from his wrist, and then spun to himself.
Zhou Chu opened his eyes, and what appeared in front of him was Alaisa, who had not appeared since entering this world, the girl's spirit body seemed to be clearer than in the real world, and from the translucent state that could be seen at a glance that it was a ghost, it became a state of an entity that seemed to be nothing.
I didn't come out before, because Father Aaron was nearby, right? Although I don't know what Aaron is for and doesn't notice the abnormality of the wrist chain, if Aretha appears, there is no shortage of means and perception techniques for the undead and ghosts in the Roman Orthodox Church, and if Father Aaron detects it, things will be much more troublesome.
Zhou Chu thought so, but just as he wanted to speak, a voice sounded faster than his.
"They can feel me."
Crisp, beautiful, and a little soft, girl-like voice.
Zhou Chu's eyes enlarged at that moment, he was a little surprised, but because he didn't have a specific emotional direction and instinct, he just skipped the surprise and asked in a voice that would not be heard by the coachman in the carriage.
"Are you able to speak?"
Alesa nodded, and then Zhou Chu saw that her mouth did not move, but the voice sounded in his head.
"You can talk to me like that, too."
Telepathy? Zhou Chu hesitated for a moment, trying to communicate with Alaisha in his mind, that is, to "say" to Alaisa in the way he imagined his thoughts.
'You just said they could see you?' Who are they? ’
'Those two girls. Aleisha replied.
Those two loli's from Malte? No wonder I've been staring at his chain from time to time, or rather, staring at Aleisha, Aleisha didn't embody it, and those two little Lori's should just feel that there is something in the chain, right?
'Can others see you now?' ’
Aletha shook her head and said again.
Except for the two girls. ’
That'll do. ’
Zhou Chu thinks it doesn't matter, at most when the two Loli are present, Alaisa doesn't show up, anyway, when he arrives in Bucharest, he has to part ways, but Alaisa's words reminded him that although most people can't see Alais, this is a world with incredible everything, and there are still people, or more people, who may see Alaisa's existence, so when there is nothing to do, it is better to let Aresha obediently become a chain that is difficult to detect.
Just as Zhou Chu was thinking about this question, Alaisa raised her head, her beautiful eyes looked out of the window, and then turned back and looked at Zhou Chu.
I feel like there's someone like me here. ’
Well? Zhou Chu instantly became alert, here?
But Aretha said again.
'In this mountain. ’
Her words put Zhou Chu at ease, but in this mountain, it is nothing, according to Zhou Chu's understanding, anywhere, there may be undead and ghosts, because there is an indisputable fact - no matter in which world the world, the number of dead people will always be much more than the living people.
