307. Leaving Bucharest (End of Volume III)
Aletha called out and pounced, picking up Zhou Chu's right hand and looking left and right, she was already able to change between pure and substantial spirits, and she would never pass through objects or hold anything again.
After looking left and right for a long time, Alesa said to Zhou Chu, "Show me the demonstration." ”
As Lilith, Iphitrith, and Dracula walked in, Alesa was excitedly wielding the energy scythe.
"Bracers of the Gods!" Seeing this weapon, Iphitrith was also a little surprised, "I didn't expect Lord Cadias to be able to use this artifact. ”
"Don't forget that he has Cain's heart and left hand." Lilith said with a smile, and then glanced at the scythe, she had naturally seen this energy bracer armament, so her interest naturally fell on Zhou Chu.
"Scythe?" She looked at Zhou Chu with affectionate eyes, "Can I understand that after you saw that I used the sickle that day, you want to use the same weapon as me?" ”
"It's not." Zhou Chu naturally denied it, "The sickle is just a subconscious choice, if you have to talk about it, it is related to another little girl." ”
Looking back now, it seems that the form of the third weapon subconsciously chosen is the scythe, and a large part of the reason may be because Zhao Ning was deeply impressed by the way he fought with the scythe.
His answer naturally made Lilith dissatisfied: "If I say that, I will be jealous, and maybe I will kill that little girl, Mr. Cadias." ”
What vinegar to eat.
Zhou Chu naturally ignored Lilith's coquettishness, as for killing Zhao Ning? At least that's something that doesn't need to be considered right now. So he just casually said what he was thinking.
Speaking of which. Lilith, I have a question for you. ”
"Ask, Mr. Cadias, I know everything, and I have no end to it."
"Do you love Cain's body, or his soul, of course...... If those ethereal legends are true. I'm just thinking about the question, to love someone, is it to love his soul, or his body and skin? ”
Lilith wanted to answer. But Zhou Chu didn't really want an answer. So after saying this, he turned to Iphitris again.
"Queen Iphitris, when can we go?"
"Anytime." Ephitris smiled and replied, "On the way." Mistress Lilith is just in time to help you get the angel's wings. By the way, we have cleared some obstacles for our Bloodline. We'll be on hand with an escort who will be able to escort you safely to London. ”
Eat so many people, now. It was time to return it, so Zhou Chu didn't have any objection to cleaning up along the way, but nodded.
"Tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Zhou Chu and Aresha, led by the guards, arrived at the Floating Tower, which is the tallest building, one of the two most conspicuous buildings in Bucharest.
Although it is called the Floating Tower, the tower is not floating at the moment, but even so, it is still the tallest building in the whole of Bucharest, and from a distance, this floating tower, like a huge hourglass, towers over Bucharest.
The tower resembles a modern-day skyscraper, and does not require steps, in fact, at the entrance, there are three portals leading to the seventh, thirteenth, and twenty-first floors, each corresponding to short, medium, and long distances.
Because they had to make a stopover, Zhou Chu and the others arrived at the thirteenth floor.
When Zhou Chu and Alesa stepped out of the light curtain of the portal, they found that the thirteenth floor was like an airfield with a hollowed-out interior, with only a huge space inside, and the side facing the outside, which was unobstructed.
Ephitris and the others were already waiting there, and when they saw Zhou Chu and the others appear, they greeted them.
"Lord Kadias, these are the people who accompanied you this time, because you also know the special identity of our blood clan, so there may not be too many guards, I hope you will forgive me."
There weren't many, except for the four unfamiliar faces of two men and two women who accompanied him, Lilith, Calissit, Ralmie, and Judbriss.
Coupled with Zhou Chu and Aleisha, if Aleisha is also a "person", there are only ten people in this line, which is really not much for the team configuration of more than a dozen or even dozens of people in this era.
But for Zhou Chu, it was enough.
It's just that...... Ralmi and Carissit, what's going on? Lilith was understandably entourage, and Juddbriss, who thought that he was sent by members of the Demon Party who were not interested in him, was sent to spy on him, and that was fine, but these two.
When Zhou Chu looked at Ephitris with an inquiring gaze, the other party seemed to be prepared and answered Zhou Chu with a smile.
"Calissit is a child of the gods, and can help you avoid the eyes of the angels, so you must take her with you, and Lalmi, I believe, there is no better person to find out about all this."
Since the answer was so, Zhou Chu didn't say anything anymore, but looked at Judbris, and had some interest in his heart - his manipulating blood arrow must be a little different from his own activated blood, but what is the specific difference, and can he also learn his way to show this ability at the cost of not losing his life?
After all, whether it is lethal and destructive, as well as the apparent deterrence, Judbris's bloody self-detonation and manipulation of blood arrows are very powerful and good.
Judblis was a little uncomfortable stared at by Zhou Chu, and coughed, the outlier and big man among the vampires, or Frankenstein among the blood clan, said angrily.
"There were many offenses in the previous competition, and I hope Lord Cadias will not be surprised."
"No, it won't." Zhou Chu replied, he was really not surprised, he was just curious about the question, so after answering, he stopped looking at Judbris.
"Now that Master Cadias has arrived, let's get on board."
Ephitris said, then glanced at the nearby guard, who left. After a while, Zhou Chu heard the subtle sound of some machinery running, and the sound of something moving.
Then a huge ship appeared in front of the platform in front of him.
Floatboats.
This thing that will only appear in fantasy novels is really appearing in front of Zhou Chu at this moment, and the floating boat in front of Zhou Chu's eyes, from the outside, it looks like a huge ship that should sail on the ocean, but it is really floating in the air.
"What is used as an energy source?" Zhou Chu looked at the floating boat. Ask Larmi.
"The Magic Crucible. At the bottom of the ship, speaking ......," Ralmi muffled his voice, "this is probably a magical steam-age technology, and the power of the drive and steam has become magic. ”
Steampunk and magic.
This seems to be the former self. The favorite and obsessed. The era and the world that exist in fantasy novels. But only once.
Now I will only look at and judge with the most rational and trying to discover the essence. Rather than appreciating and blending in. Because he himself is not a person from this world.
Zhou Chu thought so, and under the leadership of the guards, he boarded the floating boat.
After boarding the floatboat, Zhou Chu noticed that this was not intended to be an ordinary route or a floatboat, because he could clearly see that most of the people on the boat were vampires, but these vampires were a little strange, and it seemed that their complexion was not pure pale, but a little pale.
Only then did Zhou Chu remember the question and turned to look at Juddbris.
"Then again, what do you do during the day if you go out?"
Judblis was stunned for a moment when Zhou Chu asked him this, and then looked at Ephitris, obviously not knowing how to answer.
"After you go out, Master Cadias and Kalisit will be your chiefs, so there's nothing bad to answer." Ephitris said this, and then looked at Zhou Chu.
"Don't worry about this, the crew of this ship are all alien vampires, as long as it's not too strong sunlight, they can walk in the daytime, even if it's strong sunlight, they can last for about an hour, as for Calisit, they also have special protective cloaks, but now some people are also beginning to be familiar with and understand this thing, so they can't be too blatant."
Alienated vampires. Zhou Chu looked at the crew again, this should already be regarded as a scientific test, but maybe it is still a magic test.
After taking Zhou Chu to their cabin and setting up the trip, Ephitris and the others returned to the deck and said to Zhou Chu.
"Then I'll take my leave, if Lord Cadias needs anything, or if things change, you can use the magic crystal I gave to Calisit to communicate and contact."
When Iphitris and her men left the floatship, the steam magic device and propeller under the hull of the floatship began to slowly rotate and run, and the sails of the ship puffed up, as if out at sea, and the floatship slowly left the tower.
After greeting Zhou Chu, Carissit and the others returned to the cabin first and left Bucharest, despite the protective cloak, the nature of vampires destined light to be something they longed for but hated and could not adapt to, so for the sun, they were complicated things that had to be avoided.
And Alesa didn't like the sun, so she chose to run down at this time, so on the deck of the entire floatboat, Zhou Chu and Larmi, who were humans, were left.
The float slowly left the purple canopy of Bucharest, and after passing through the canopy, Zhou Chu saw the rising sun in the distance.
Ralmi stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the earth beneath his feet.
"I've been on a plane, but it's the first time I've seen it like this from a ship like this, and it feels a little different."
"You haven't been on this ship before?" Zhou Chu asked.
"Nope." Ralmi shook his head, "I've always been in the Commonwealth of Travania, so I've only seen it from afar. ”
"And then?" Zhou Chu walked over and stood side by side with her at the bow of the boat, "What do you want to say?" I believe that your previous exclamation is certainly not limited to those. ”
"Sometimes, are we too obsessed with our own pursuits and goals, constantly running and moving forward all the way, so because we only see one goal, all the worlds and eyes, there is only one goal, so we miss countless scenery on the road, and miss countless people and things other than the goal?"
"I don't know what to do." Zhou Chu replied, "I can't answer your question now, but I know that if you can't reach the goal, can't run, and don't do your best, then everything is meaningless, and the scenery on the road may not be visible." ”
Ralmi didn't speak again, but stood side by side with Zhou Chu, looking at the world outside.
Under the dawn of the first rise, the grand world is unfolding.
It may be beautiful, it may be cruel, it may be warm, it may be cold, no matter what it is, the future and the future world are unknown.
All you can choose is to make your choice, and then go on, turn the unknown and the unseen, into the known and seen, and then see what your choices bring to yourself, what you lose, what you cause, and what you affect.
But remember, you can't do it all over again.
It's just getting started.
