261. Dracula
Speaking of which, the country in the East also has the existence of a Gu person who is good at manipulating poisonous insects and living creatures, and Lilith thinks it is more interesting according to her own understanding, isn't it the guy from the Holy See back then who sealed Cain to the East?
She was completely biased.
But even if he knew Lilith's thoughts, Zhou Chu wouldn't correct her, why should he correct her? How to think it's her business.
Along the secret passage under the cliff, Zhou Chu and the others quickly arrived at the interior of the ancient castle, pushed open the wooden door overhead, and found that the exit was an abandoned cellar, surrounded by empty and destroyed wine barrels and chests, and nothing else.
But just as Zhou Chu and the others stepped on the floor of the cellar, a low but loud voice sounded in the ancient castle.
"Welcome, stranger."
Dracula!
When he heard this voice, Zhou Chu already knew that his whereabouts had been exposed, but he didn't think about what his whereabouts could be hidden, in fact, what he wanted was just on the road to the castle, and he wouldn't be attacked by anything, he didn't want to be knocked off the cliff or blocked off the way before he met the famous vampire face to face, as for the range of entering the castle, he would be discovered, such a possibility had long been expected by him, the battle in the castle was at least better than being attacked by the enemy from a distance, But he still has to find a way to enter the opponent's home field before starting the battle.
So when he heard this voice, Zhou Chu didn't panic or move for the first time, but quickly caught the sound, although the other party seemed to have used skills such as magic to allow the sound to come over. But through the different strengths of the layers of sound waves, Zhou Chu still roughly determined, and the other party seemed to be at the top of the ancient castle.
Zhou Chu didn't move or say anything, Lilith and Alesa naturally didn't say anything, and they stayed quietly, only Tex was a little panicked and frightened when he heard the voice, but when he turned his head, he saw Lilith and Alessa with a calm face, and he put his mind at ease.
I almost forgot my master. It's Lilith.
Zhou Chu was still standing. A moment later, Dracula's voice came again.
"No need to be vigilant, stranger, I have no ill will. Or rather. Maybe my subordinates. I misunderstood what I meant, but I have come on orders from the Queen to meet you on your journey to Bucharest. You are a guest of our bloodline, not an enemy. ”
Dracula's words made Tex stunned, which was completely different from what Dracula had told him before, and Dracula's original words at the time were: "Bring the two little girls in that convoy!" The rest is yours...... By the way, there is also a young man from the East, with black hair and black eyes, you can bring him, and the corpse is fine, as long as you bring it. ”
At that time, in Dracula's tone, the twins were the key, and Zhou Chu was second, and it didn't matter if it came to the corpse, and now, when did this minor person become a guest?
No matter when he becomes a distinguished guest, the first thing that Tex thinks of is because of the change in Dracula's words, which makes him very passive - in case he is misunderstood that Dracula wants him to greet them, but Tex himself wants to kill Zhou Chu, then this black account may not be to become the other party's servant, and it can be calculated as simple as his life and soul, if it happens that this young man is not very good-tempered and very taboo to be betrayed and violated this point.
So he immediately looked at Lilith and Zhou Chu, desperately trying to convey the message that innocent and Dracula was lying.
Luckily, he seems to have done it.
Lilith just glanced at him with beautiful eyes and smiled, and didn't make any moves, while Zhou Chu's glance was even calmer, and she didn't seem to pay attention to it at all.
He really didn't take it to heart, for a halfway captive and servant like Tex, there was no need to care about what he had done before, how loyal he was, and not even more so that he was Lilith's servant, not his. All of his energy is focused on capturing each other's voices.
This time, he determined the location of the other party's voice, somewhere in the highest part of the castle.
So he took a step and walked out of the road. Dracula, on the other hand, did not make a sound along the way, and they did not encounter any obstacles, so they reached the top of the castle unimpeded.
When Zhou Chu and the others came to the top floor of the ancient castle, in front of the oval bilateral door at the end of the passage, they had not yet stretched out their hands, and the wooden door with the iron edge embedded and painted with plant patterns automatically opened slowly to both sides, and a huge hall behind the door was presented in front of Zhou Chu's eyes.
Zhou Chu and the others walked in.
After entering, I found that this hall is actually not too big, and the role in the castle should be a banquet or a dance hall, but because of the towering dome, the sense of space suddenly becomes deep and huge. There was no decoration in the hall, it was evident that it had been abandoned for a long time, there was no trace of carpet even on the floor, and in the empty hall there was only a fireplace on either side, a long table in the center, and a court chair in the distance.
and a tall figure.
After Zhou Chu and Tex stopped, the tall figure turned around, and after seeing Lilith and Aleitha who were veiled beside Zhou Chu, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, and they returned to their original calm.
"Welcome, stranger from afar."
As he spoke, he took a small half step forward with his left foot, then stretched out his right hand, pulled it up slightly above his abdomen, put his left hand behind his back, and bent his front and back feet slightly, and performed a standard aristocratic salute to Zhou Chu in the court, where nobles meet nobles and nobles.
Then he straightened up.
Nearly 1.9 meters tall, black red-edged cape, and black Damascus jacket, the coat is open, two rows of gold buttons and laces are not fastened, revealing the scarlet inside, the neckline and buttons are decorated with wrinkles and cumbersome lace shirts, black tight leather pants, the red stripes of the trouser line extend to the knees, only to be covered by a pair of long riding boots with scarlet embroidery edges, the front and back of the boots, there are spurs that shine with cold light.
Under the black hair that is parted and scattered to the shoulders, it looks wild and uninhibited, is a pale, but heroic middle-aged man's face, under the sword eyebrows, a pair of amber eyes, are calmly staring at Zhou Chu and others, firm but not gloomy, just under the hooked nose, the thick but neatly trimmed mustache, weakening the overall feeling of being too handsome and young, but announcing to everyone that the handsome man in front of him is no longer young, but he is still a middle-aged mature man in the prime of life.
Duke of the Vampire, Dracula.
is indeed very handsome, this is probably the advantage and uniqueness of the vampire race, no matter how ugly the human being, after becoming a vampire, the whole person's facial features and feelings, will become pleasing and handsome, at least the Duke of Dracula in front of him, when he is a human being, should give people the whole feeling, is too gloomy and cunning, and murderous, but after becoming a vampire, this gloomy and cunning, but it is just right to hide under the handsome middle-aged man's face, at most it looks a little indifferent and gloomy.
It's just that Zhou Chu is thinking about other questions - what is the actual effect of vampires' changes and advantages? Better at finding mates or attracting prey? Perhaps both, at least with the advantage of appearance, is indeed a good choice for finding a mate, or in attracting prey and reducing its vigilance.
Do you want to do the same yourself? In reality, slowly adjust and modify to beautify the appearance? Maybe a lot of things will be easier.
This is actually not difficult, but judging from the perception of the previous perceptual one, this seems to be a plastic surgery? At the same time, the perceptual one also thinks that the appearance changed by external surgery is not the real self, but this change is the modification and change of oneself, from the technical point of view, there is no non-human material composition, and there is no change in any external force, such as surgery and the like.
Zhou Chu shook his head, and finally put this idea aside, he has always lacked emotion and sensibility, so he can't judge such a question himself, or wait until he returns to reality and asks Xia Xiao's opinion.
With that in mind, he shifted his gaze back to Dracula's.
"Your men say, you're looking for me?"
"To be precise, they're just a bunch of bandits, and I'm just handing it out to make them able to contribute to the Federation." Dracula smiled and looked at Tex, "In fact, as I expected, with their abilities, there is really no way to invite you, and now he should be your subordinate, or a prisoner." ”
Dracula didn't hide anything, and he didn't care that what he just said was in conflict with what he said earlier, he unabashedly expressed what he wanted to express - just the incompetence of Dirks and others, not his signal, this word revealed many meanings, such as the queen may really want to see Zhou Chu, but Dracula himself is not interested in this idea, or order, so he said bring and invite, as for whether it is a living person or a dead person, he does not care.
If Zhou Chu has some understanding of the medieval nobles in this world, then he will know that when the nobles call themselves respected or feared people, they will add the title of the other party, or directly call the other party's title to show respect, and you who originally expressed respect, in their opinion, are just that the other party can have the qualifications to be equal to themselves, and you are almost equivalent to the contempt that only puts the other party in their eyes.
