287. The Palace of the Night in Bucharest
The woman doesn't know the way, in this world, there have long been games and animations based on everything that happened in her world, and movies, and she doesn't know the way, and in the future journey, she will encounter countless lovers and die-hard people about all this curious approach and try to contact, and will often hear such exclamations.
"Oh my God, you and Ida in the game. The king is really too similar! ”
It's not just the likeness, it's actually the prototype, the real one, Ada. King!
However, Zhou Chu did not know about the arrival of Ida, but after a good night's sleep, he boarded the luxurious carriage sent by Dracula, and together with the revealing Alesa, he headed towards the Palace of Night, the de facto and supreme ruling center of Bucharest and the Commonwealth of Travania.
A few blocks away, you can already see the towering spire of the Palace of Night, on the spire, there seems to be a huge gem glowing, under the purple canopy, like a huge pearl of the night.
"One of the cores of the magic array that supports the canopy." Lilith Jiao, who was sitting in the carriage, explained to Zhou Chu with a smile, "This is probably found from the lost ancient books, part of the three major defense systems of the Night Palace, but unfortunately, probably the formation map they found is not complete, so now this magic array can only support the canopy, as well as passively defend against the magic attacks of the outside world, but they are still quite caring, they still remember the name of the Night Palace, and try to re-establish a Night Palace." ”
Lilith's implication is obvious, this is a replica of the Palace of Night, the real Palace of Night. It had long since been reduced to ruins, sealed and buried forever in that valley.
It's just that Zhou Chu thinks about it, but it is something else, and now with his sight, he can see clearly the spire of the Night Palace that is getting closer and closer, and he can see that on the spire that towers into the sky, from the bottom end, there are all kinds of gorgeous and cumbersome patterns and patterns, some of which seem to be meaningless. It's just gorgeous and cumbersome. Some of the patterns seem to depict certain scenes and history, in short, starting from the bottom of the spire, intricate patterns and patterns. It's all over the place. Zhou Chu even saw that there were a lot of crystals and gold stones embedded on it.
So. Is this necessary? He thought, but even if it wasn't necessary, in a long time. Vampires didn't seem to find a better way to spend time than carving a work of art, so he looked at the cumbersome spire and asked Lilith.
"Lilith, is it really a good thing to live forever, or to have an extremely long life?"
"You asked an interesting question." Lilith smiled, "It's hard for me to answer you, I can only tell you that in the long years, I have seen the long-lived species become crazy because of their long lifespan, and I have also seen the short-lived species desperately pursue immortality, when your life is long to a certain extent, maybe you will yearn for liberation and death, but when your life is so short that it takes a lifetime to do it, you are extremely eager for immortality." ”
Contradictory and inexplicable phenomenon, Zhou Chu thought, when life is long enough to do everything, but there is still enough time, time will become long and abhorrent, and in the same way, all the development and forward motivation will also become less urgent because of the long enough life and time, and vice versa, because life is limited, so the forward momentum will also be pushed to its own limit because of the limited time.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, immortality may not be a good thing, but it is too short-lived, and it doesn't seem to be a good thing.
It's just that for human beings, how much life is enough for them to do everything, but they will not get tired of everything and even life because of the long time?
This is probably not answered by anyone.
While thinking about these metaphysical philosophical questions without any emotion, the carriage had already driven to the gate of the Night Palace, and on both sides of the huge palace gate, there were two rows of guards wearing scarlet gorgeous armor, although it seemed that these guards were so pale that they didn't have any combat effectiveness, but Zhou Chuzhi said that these little white-faced vampires who looked handsome and wore armor like a display should at least have the strength to fight against a human squad.
Just wearing heavy armor, is it really appropriate?
It seemed to see Zhou Chu's thoughts again, Lilith smiled and said: "This is also something that can't be helped, although the strength of vampires is far beyond ordinary people, but according to the characteristics of the species, as assassins and strikers, scouts, assassins are the most suitable, but a huge country, it is impossible not to have a regular army, just rely on teams like mages and assassins, so it can only let those who are more powerful in the vampires wear heavy armor that will affect speed and flexibility." ”
While listening to Lilith's explanation, Zhou Chu looked at those guards and estimated in his heart that if he was in human form, against these vampire guards, even if he wore heavy armor, he would be able to cause great damage to the other party, and because of the slowdown effect brought by this armor, it would be easier, and if these vampire guards did not wear such heavy armor, it was not that they couldn't be beaten, but a group of high-speed vampires would indeed bring much more trouble than vampires wearing armor.
It's just for Zhou Chu, and for humans, no matter what kind of vampire it is, it's probably a nightmare. This is called species dominance.
When Zhou Chu got out of the car, he also saw Dracula coming out from behind the palace gate, compared with the last time, the decoration on the body of the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan was more gorgeous and cumbersome, so cumbersome that Zhou Chu could be sure at a glance that even if he was now himself, he was unwilling to wear such a costume.
Comparable to Dracula's dress, it is Lilith, what she wears today is still a tight fishtail evening dress that plays and shows the curves of this vampire body to the fullest, but it is different from the fishtail dress that is simple and smooth in later generations, but it is different from the fishtail dress, Lilith's evening dress, did not let go of any place and detail that can be cut and modified, if there is no huge gem and other jewelry around Lilith's neck, from a distance, Lilith in the evening dress is like a tuft of aquatic plants swaying in the wind.
"Then I can only bother Mr. Cadias and walk in with me."
Dracula stood in front of the door of the palace, made a noble salute to Zhou Chu, and said politely, if it weren't for Zhou Chu's deeds of Daodaokula, he would definitely think that this was a gentle middle-aged uncle who was not lacking in manhood, but also had enough gentlemanly demeanor.
"Then ask Grand Duke Dracula to lead the way." Zhou Chu nodded and didn't say anything.
"Well, please come with me." Dracula said with some grumbling as he walked towards the back, "I forgot about this at first, the Night Palace is not only visited by vampires, but also by humans, so next time, I will definitely suggest to the queen that the palace gate be widened and enlarged, as well as the main road, so that the carriage can drive in at any time. ”
Listening to Dracula's words, Zhou Chu just smiled and didn't say anything. But he has already heard something, it seems that this Grand Duke Dracula is still somewhat similar to the character recorded in reality, this Grand Duke does not seem to like humans very much, at least his complaint just now has already vaguely hinted that if there is no capable human visit, the distance in the Night Palace can make them walk to exhaustion.
Maybe he didn't know about his contempt, or maybe he did it on purpose, but in any case, Dracula didn't think much of humans, and that's confirmed.
So Zhou Chu didn't say anything, he didn't agree, but there was no need to refute, because even if he refuted, the other party would still say that he was a capable human being, and, in a sense, Zhou Chu himself couldn't confirm how much of his body could be regarded as a human being.
However, Dracula seems to be right, the Palace of Night is too large, and it took him half an hour to walk with Zhou, Lilith, and Aresa to the Nightingale Hall where he was going to meet the Queen. And along the way, Zhou Chu once again confirmed his previous thoughts, for the vampire clan whose lives are too long, in a boring and long time, they have indeed spent enough time on how to carve beauty, and find interesting places that can attract attention.
Along the way, every pillar Zhou Chu saw was all beautifully carved and cumbersome, and at the same time he also saw all kinds of gorgeous or strange things, such as ivory that was almost three meters long, or bronze and stone carvings full of oriental flavor, and even Zhou Chu also saw that it should belong to the totem of the worship of the god Quetzalcoatl in South America. The official uniforms of the eastern country, the katana of the island country, the powder guns of the Americas, everything seems to be found here.
After seeing Zhou Chu's gaze and paying attention to these things, Dracula smiled slightly: "These are all brought back by my clansmen when they traveled around the world, and some things will be favored by the queen, so she stayed, if Mr. Cadias have anything you want to see, say it, and see if there is such a thing in the Palace of Night." ”
"Then if Mr. Cadias likes it, I can give it to you." Lilith said on the sidelines, and Dracula nodded, "If Mr. Cadias likes something, just take it." (To be continued......)
