Chapter 20 may not be the same
"This is your home?" Fan Jian was dumbfounded and looked at everything in front of him.
A castle-like manor house full of majesty and grandeur rises above an isolated island. The white marble walls are full of traces left by the long river of time, and several towers arch the main building in the middle like stars and moons. The spires of countless small buildings seem to compete with each other, and the thick steel walls surround the entire island. All of them show that the owner of this castle is not a messy existence.
"Welcome to my home, Harlot Castle!" said Bataan with a proud face.
"It's really an ancient castle, your family is really rich. Akasha said in amazement, she had never seen such a majestic building in her life for so long, and the largest building she had ever seen was just the castle of the Fog Capital.
"I always feel that your identity is very unusual..."Fan Jian said with envy.
"We Harlots are among the oldest nobles in Europe. ”
An old butler who came out of the castle introduced it. "Twenty years ago, Harlot's power was already across Europe. Since then, the wealth of the whole of Europe has belonged to the Harlots. There was a hint of excitement and pride in the old butler's tone.
"Alright, let's bring them all in. Bataan interrupted the old butler, and stretched out his hand to beckon the people to come in with him.
If the castle outside looks so solemn and majestic that it is oppressive and stunningly majestic, when you enter the castle gates, it is a different style.
Several towering buildings stand proudly in the center, surrounded by immaculately manicured lawns. Between the main fort and the surrounding turrets, there are a variety of small forts. In the shadows that cannot be illuminated by sunlight, there seem to be many buildings that have military defense functions hidden. A huge double spiral staircase makes the whole building even more commendable.
"I feel like I'm running out of words. Akasha said weakly.
"Heh, how is my castle?" asked Bataan as he turned his head to Fan Jian with a grin.
"Invincible. Fan Jian pondered and meditated, and finally held back a sentence from his mouth. "But why build on this island?"
The old housekeeper on the side smiled when he heard this, and he didn't care about Fan Jian's ignorance. "The castle is centuries old, and every generation of Harlots renovates it. ”
Fan Jian noticed that the old butler's description of the castle used her instead of it.
"At that time, there were always wars, and before that the castle was built for military significance. For safety reasons, he was built on an isolated island off the coast. There is only one bridge for people to enter. And if anyone invades, the Harlots will let them know what cruelty is!"
"Don't scare my friend. Bataan grumbled.
The old butler was sorry for the debt. Bataan said to Fan Jian: "Don't care, he is this character, he has served my mother and them for three generations." I have a deeper affection for this place than I do. ”
"Understood. Fan Jian expressed his understanding of the old housekeeper's actions, and at the same time became interested in this family, after all, not every family can make a person have such a great sense of belonging, and he is willing to spend his life serving three generations for it.
When everyone came to the castle, the old butler hurriedly stepped forward to open the inner door, invited everyone in, and said to Bataan: "Young master, the old man is already waiting." ”
When Bataan heard this, he immediately asked, "Ah, Grandpa, is he feeling better, can he get out of bed and walk around?"
Bataan's grandfather is the father of Bataan's mother and the current patriarch of the Harlot family. About many years ago, when Bataan's mother left, his brother and his children died and fell ill.
It's been so many years, and the illness is getting better, but old Harlot is also old, and some time ago the old disease recurred, and he couldn't get out of bed for a long time. Today, Bataan was really shocked when he heard that his grandfather could get out of bed.
"Well, a few days ago, a well-known doctor came to the old man to recuperate, and now it is much better. After the old butler finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and then said to Bataan: "It is said that the doctor was a missionary, and now many people in the fort are rumored that the doctor used magic to heal the great master. ”
"And such a thing?" Bataan frowned, not that he didn't believe in it, but on the contrary, he was curious about it. But this doesn't mean that he is stupid, the grandfather on the front foot is sick, and there is a magic rule on the back foot that he is very interested in, if there is no problem in this, no one will believe it.
When Fan Jian heard this, he interjected curiously: "Is there still magic in this world?"
The old butler also laughed when he heard it: "Yes, but the young master likes to listen to this fantasy thing, so I told the young master about it." Actually, people don't believe it. ”
When Fan Jian heard this, he looked at Bataan as if he were looking at another person. "I didn't expect it, the dignified young master also likes to watch these things?"
Bataan blushed: "Who said you can't like these things!"
Fan Jian sneered: "No, no, no, I'm just curious about things like magic, even if you like it, I really believe that this thing exists, it's a bit powerful." ”
Akasha poked Fan Jian dissatisfiedly on the side and said, "There are all vampires, isn't it normal for magic to exist?"
Fan Jian looked at the little Lori and casually dropped a sentence, "Your half-hung vampire is not a vampire, how can there be such a waste of wood?" Only the little Lori, who was hit by a hundredfold crit, stood stupidly in place.
"She's really a vampire?" Ba Dan leaned over and whispered to Fan Jian.
"It's a vampire, yes, but maybe it's not the same as you think. Fan Jian smacked his mouth and said.
"What is that like? the kind from the Vampire Diaries? or the kind from fantasy novels?" asked Bataan, whose curiosity grew.
Fan Jian tried to organize his words and said to Bataan: "It seems that they are not the same. ”
Hearing this, Ba Dan looked at Fan Jian strangely, in his opinion, there are only a few main legends of vampires, if they are not, then what is it like?
He wanted to ask something more. But the old butler on the side said, "Young master, it's time to go in, don't let the master wait too long." I'll take care of a few distinguished guests. ”
Ba Dan thought for a while and said to Fan Jian: "When I come back, you have to tell me about it!"
Then he said to the old butler, "Take them on a tour of the castle in a moment, and then bring them to me, and have some refreshments and rest, and when I come back I will go to them." ”
The old butler bowed and nodded obediently, and Bataan left with peace of mind.
"Distinguished guests, please come with me!" After the old butler saw Ba Dan leaving, he slowly straightened up, faced Fan Jian and the others, and stretched out his hand to the side.
