Chapter 44: The Resilience of the Old Aristocrats

The next morning, when the curtains of the dining room were all closed, Barnabas sat at the end of the table, and Caroline's seat, gesturing with one hand, said, "I was awakened by an iron-toothed yellow dragon, and saw a huge letter M, which emitted a light comparable to a thousand lanterns."

Everyone at the table looked at him with a straight face, but Caroline couldn't help it, turned to Aunt Elizabeth and said, "He won't go on forever." ”

Roger smiled, "I like him." ”

Aunt Elizabeth smiled reluctantly and said, "Yes, I believe that Britain is very different from us. ”

Barnabas sat in his seat, his fingers carefully touching the silver cutlery on the table.

Roger's perverted dad also had a rare curiosity about this distant relative: "So Barnabas, what kind of business does your family have?"

Barnabas put down his knife and fork and sat back in his chair elegantly, "The Collins family has always been in the fishing business, and after more than two centuries of consideration, I have decided to devote all my energy to the family. ”

Aunt Elizabeth cut the breakfast and explained, "He was trying to say that it felt like more than two centuries..."

Barnabas was noncommittal: "I know that you are living in poverty, and that the most precious silverware in your family has been sold. ”

Caroline looked at him curiously: "How do you know, these are high imitations." ”

Barnabas pinched a fork and fiddled with it between his fingers: "If this fork were silver, my finger would ignite a flame at the slightest touch." ”

Roger was speechless, this old guy was really buried in the ground and stupid, and he jumped out of everything: "Yes, you said, you have a serious metal allergy." ”

Caroline and Pervert Daddy looked at Roger suspiciously, and then at Barnabas.

Aunt Elizabeth didn't want him to say anything shocking, so she hurriedly interrupted: "In short, the fishing business is currently dying, and the manor is in ruins. ”

Barnabas sat there and said confidently, "Okay, I'm back." Soon, our wealth will return as well. ”

Dad gave a perfunctory look: "Good luck, most of the fishing boat business in Maine is handled by Angel." ”

"Angel?"

Aunt Elizabeth explained: "Angel Bay, they occupy all the ports on the east coast. Then our work will begin here, and with your blessings, I will bring the family business back to its former glory. ”

Alice walked into the restaurant in a huff, she had been losing her mind as often as she had been in the last few days, Roger wasn't sure if it was a mental problem or something, was there such a case of mental illness?

"Good morning~" But fortunately, Alice was normal this morning, and she noticed the stranger on the other end of the table: "Who is this?"

Aunt Elizabeth wriggled unnaturally and said, "Vicky (her real name is not known at home), this is our distant relative, Barnabas Collins. ”

Roger quietly poked his aunt and reminded her, and she then said again: "Three." Barnabas Collins III had come from England to live here. ”

Victoria Winters, Roger's tutor. ”

Barnabas stood up distractedly, and the two shook hands: "Of course you won't let them call you 'Vicky', I can't bear to reduce a syllable to Victoria's wonderful name." ”

Roger sighed, Barnabas made him think of his perverted daddy, the first time they saw Alice, it was just the same, this washboard was so attractive? Roger didn't feel it.

"Okay, maybe there's a cash cow in the place where you're staying, but it's not easy for us to make money here. Perverted Daddy interrupted when he saw Barnabas holding Alice's hand.

Barnabas walked back to his seat: "Don't worry about my methods, I want to see the factory as soon as possible." How long does it take to prepare a horse?"

"We don't have horses, we have a Chevrolet. Roger was about to hide his head under the table.

However, Roger should be content, Barnabas still embodies the strong adaptability of an old aristocrat in the end, he neither expressed curiosity about the car nor asked why the zenith lamp does not burn kerosene, compared to the turtles in the movie who have traveled to the modern day, it embodies a different gentlemanly attitude.

After breakfast, Willie drove the three adults to his factory to make plans, and Roger didn't have the slightest desire to go to that dilapidated haunted house.

But it's Saturday, and Roger is going to call Caroline and Alice out in the backyard woods for a little exercise to test his true strength now.

In the woods, Caroline smiled and pinched her fingers "click", this kid rushed to find a lesson, she was looking forward to it.

Alice watched from the sidelines, and Caroline did not move, and hooked her finger at Roger with a big grin: "Don't worry, I promise not to hit you in the face." ”

Roger wasn't annoyed: "Then I really want to thank you." ”

After saying that, she kicked her feet hard and squeezed her right cheek with a single fist, and Caroline raised her left arm with ease, thinking that she could easily resist it.

But after touching Roger's fist, a huge force was transmitted along the arm, Caroline's face changed greatly, and she didn't dare to underestimate it anymore, so she grabbed Roger's fist with a stroke of her left arm, and directly turned into a werewolf and threw him out.

Roger flew several meters into the air, and finally fell to the ground, he got up casually and patted the dust on his body: "How's the strength?"

Caroline lifted her transformation and nodded: "The force is very strong, and it will be difficult to resist if I don't move." ”

Roger nodded with satisfaction, Caroline's ability to not change her body is also above the limit of the human body, but Roger shook his soft right arm, the price is a bit big but fortunately it doesn't hurt, Roger said it's acceptable.

"But your fighting skills are too poor, although I haven't learned anything, but the wild nature of killing is still in my instinct, you can't do it, you need to practice well. Caroline frowned and said, Roger's ability Caroline also had a general understanding, so she didn't pay attention to such a trivial matter as a broken arm.

Since wearing the Helsing Ring given by Santa Claus, Caroline's transformation no longer needs to be suppressed by herself, and she can exude her wildness without fear of losing her mind, which makes her killing skills increasingly high.

"It seems that you have to practice, let's do this today, I'm working too hard, I'll practice with me later." Roger waved his broken arm unconcernedly.

"I don't have time to hang out with you all the time. Caroline stood there with her arms crossed: "I still have homework to write." ”

Roger walked over and hugged the old lady's shoulder: "Don't care about these little things, anyway, there will be no exam soon, why do you still write homework." ”

Caroline squinted at him, "With your crazy plan to blow up the school, I wouldn't dare use it." ”

"Bomb the school?" Alice came to her senses when she heard it, "Bomb which?" ”

"The one Caroline went to, she was going to skip the exam, so she asked me to blow it up. Roger grinned and pulled Caroline.

Caroline angrily shook Roger's hand down: "If you want to talk such nonsense again, I'll tell my mother about it." ”

Without waiting for Roger to speak, Alice preemptively said, "We're kidding, are you serious?"

Roger laughed, maybe Alice thought she was joking, but he wasn't.

Caroline froze, stopped talking to the two, and turned away.
