Chapter 7: Things from the Past
"Aren't you guys when the city is in danger?" said Uncle Ao with a smile, looking at him as if the last crisis was like a trivial matter to him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's really nothing to you and me, but for the younger generation, the last crisis was a test of life and death. Van Helsing continued to take a sip of ice water, the cold water inlet stimulated Van Helsing's nerves and made him sober a lot.
"I've been in seclusion for too long since that incident, and even if I help, what can my old body do to help?" Uncle Ao said.
"Alright, do I remember you're not much older than me?" Van Helsing teased with a laugh.
"Get down to business, I don't think you came to me at night to tease me. Uncle Ao said this, obviously this topic is off track.
"The day is approaching, how are you preparing? This time it's not just me, but the Red Dragon Family is going to pour out the strength of the whole clan, I'm sure you won't miss such a big scene." Van Helsing said, and Van Helsing vaguely felt something about Medse's preparation.
"That's pretty much what the young patriarch told me, the last time he came to me for this purpose, he wanted me to convince the Blue Dragon Clan to help them, to help them. After probably talking a lot, Uncle Ao took out a bottle of whiskey from the shelf, poured himself a glass, and didn't forget to add a few ice cubes.
"Ah, the chilled whiskey is really superb. Would you like to do something?" Uncle Ao said to Van Helsing.
Van Helsing waved his hand to indicate that he was not drinking. "I drank a lot at my daughter's place, and I just drank some water. “
"Did you just help him?" Van Helsing asked.
"After seeing the deceased, I had to help. Uncle Ao laughed at himself and said, "It's been a hundred years." Uncle Ao thought of something and sighed sadly.
"Indeed, then again, you and I are probably the only ones who are still alive after those things back then. Van Helsing continued, and the stimulation of the icy water cleared Van Helsing's mind a lot.
"Indeed, since that failed mission, you and I have taken two different paths because of the deaths of Lily and Matt. Uncle Ao continued, it seems that a hundred years ago they only saw a lot of things happen.
"I'm not like you, after Lily and Matt died, they went to SH and opened a broken bar by themselves, and lived in seclusion. Van Helsing said. In fact, Van Helsing investigated the cause of Lily and Matt's death for a long time, but Van Helsing always felt that there was always a fog in front of him that prevented him from moving towards the truth, and it took a lot of effort to waste a lot of effort, and Van Helsing did not investigate any results, a long time passed, and there was no result, plus he was busy with other things, Van Helsing himself was about to forget about the investigation, but he didn't expect this nightmare to appear in front of him again, so he definitely couldn't give up this opportunity. When Medsey approached him for help, he didn't hesitate to agree.
"I can't believe you've been thinking about this all the time. Uncle Ao drank another glass of wine and said slowly.
"But I won't run away, as long as there is the slightest opportunity, I will never give up. Van Helsing said categorically. Lily and Matt were former members of the Demon Hunter Angel Squad, and the two of them had a close relationship with Van Helsing, they were colleagues and close friends, and Van Helsing would never let go of his friend's death.
"You don't understand the powerful force behind that incident, which even turned the two dragon families from prosperity to decay. Uncle Ao persuaded him like this, he had a deep understanding of the affairs of the dragon clan.
"So this is the reason why you live in seclusion and don't ask about the world?" Van Helsing asked rhetorically, although Van Helsing disagreed with what this old friend did, but through his understanding of Uncle Ao, once he decided something, it was difficult for him to change it. So, all these years he had to accept.
"Then why did you agree to help this time?" Van Helsing said with a smile.
"You've decided to go all out, I should have some expressions, after all, the deceased personally asked for it later, how could I refuse?" Uncle Ao sighed and said, "Get out of this old bone, I will also help you this time." Uncle Ao said, maybe he wanted to make up for his evasion over the years.
"Welcome in. Van Helsing raised his glass to celebrate when he heard his old friend be so refreshed for once. Uncle Ao smiled wryly and ran into Van Helsing with his wine glass.
After finishing the matter, Van Helsing and Uncle Ao chatted for a while, and then Van Helsing left the bar, he still has a lot of work to do tomorrow, so he also needs to take a good rest.
After Van Helsing left, Uncle Ao came to a private room in the bar, in the private room there was a person sitting and a person standing, these two were the Countess and our faithful butler Edward, the clothes were still the same black dress and Edward's iconic black butler dress, but the Countess did not wear the veil on her head, the Countess was sipping a white cocktail, "Absinthe" the signature wine of the bar.
Before Van Helsing came to this place, the bar already had customers, but that's all. Van Helsing's arrival made Uncle Ao have to be absent.
"It's still good. The Countess said, her heterochromatic eyes looking a little special in the dark environment of the bar.
Edward stood next to him and just nodded, his hostess was quietly sipping wine, and the most Edward should do was to listen quietly. This is his most basic quality as an old housekeeper who has assisted the patriarch of three generations in this family.
At this time, the door of the private room opened, and Uncle Ao apologized for his guests.
"Keeping you waiting. Uncle Ao said apologetically.
"Where are you, what about those of us who are juniors waiting a while?" said the Countess elegantly, it seemed that Uncle Ao's sudden departure did not make her very angry, after all, she had a request.
"Van Helsing is here. Uncle Ao said suddenly.
This sentence gave the countess a nap.
"What did he say?" said the Countess slowly.
"We talked about some things from the past. Uncle Ao replied slowly.
"I ...... Parents' business?" the countess's expression became a little sad at this time.
"Almost, about your parents, I'm sorry, we tried our best and couldn't save the two of them, no, rather, they saved us. Uncle Ao sat down across from the countess and said.
In fact, the Countess came here this time to meet her parents' former friends and learn about his parents.
In fact, she has wanted to do this for a long time, but her background is special, and at that time she was just a child, and she had no ability to protect herself at all, now it is different, her status is no longer a child like a refugee, her current status is prominent, and she has been able to completely control her true strength, so this time she was able to come here alone to learn about her life experience and trace back to her roots.
