Chapter 2

Time flies, and after the establishment of the Roman Republic, the castle was built less than a third of the project, requiring more manpower and material resources to build. www.biquge.info My father and some of his loyal subordinates managed to join the army of the Republic and took part in the Crassus campaign against Spartak and Caesar's conquest of Gaul. Taking advantage of the war-torn situation, my father smuggled a large number of captured slaves into the Alps to speed up the construction of the castle.

My father was so busy with the war that he had to temporarily relegate the task of building the castle to his subordinate Glynn Siegfried. Green is the third generation of the Siegfried family, and is a loyal subordinate of my father, his grandfather and father were once the best knights in the Dark Realm Army, although he was also a soldier, he fought and shed blood, and his sword was stained with the blood of countless lives, but he was more interested in the study of buildings, he was more like a good architect, so he was also called "the best master builder in war". At the time of Poppy Island, more than half of the majestic buildings in the city of Santa Freya were designed by Green himself, and the most beautiful, tall, and longest-built Babel Garden in Santa Freya was his debut work, the Babel Garden was more than 6,000 meters high, and according to the measurements of the time, the exact height was 6,005 meters, which was also the greatest masterpiece and pride of the Siegfried family. Everyone admired Grinner's whimsical design style, his drawings and the models of buildings he made were so delicate and detailed that they were truly ingenious, and what seemed complicated to others was a piece of cake for him.

In order to speed up the construction of the castle, I was honored to be able to learn from Green what others could not learn. The construction of this castle required a long period of guidance from Green and the hard work of the laborers, which may be the reason for the slow construction of the castle.

Occasionally, members of our group break the law by infiltrating the city disguised as ordinary Roman citizens, sleeping in coffins during the day, and at night going to remote places to kill passers-by and sucking their blood for fun. Local residents and law enforcement officers have described the massacre as blood-sampire monsters at night. As strange things continued to happen, Roman patrols patrolled the streets every night, but this did not stop the tragedy, many Roman soldiers were killed, and there was a moment of panic in the city. My father finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and he summoned the elders and held a secret meeting to punish the members of the Bloodline who were selfish, greedy, and only interested in their own pleasures.

On the night of the meeting, my father disguised himself as a Roman patrol soldier and waited in the streets, hoping to punish the members who had broken the rules, but the bloodthirsty fools came. As a result, the father killed them without mercy and then threw their corpses into the forest and became food for the beasts.

Within two weeks, my father killed more than fifty members as a patrol who attempted to harass citizens. A week later, there were no more bloodthirsty cases in the city, and the Roman army had finally regained its former morale, and they were fighting victorious battles. Every time my father returned from an expedition, he and his men would smuggle the supplies and slaves they had stolen back to the Alps in order to speed up the construction of the castle.

A few days later, rumors suddenly spread in the organization that the Wallace family and the Kavaze family were going to betray the Underworld Society, because those two families were originally evil spirits. Margaret and Scat of House Wallace, and Rokeland of House Cavaze were the only ones who were not suspected, and they barely survived, and those who were doubted disappeared as if they had evaporated from the world. But my father didn't seem interested in these things, but he put all his mind on the construction of the castle, and seeing that the progress was getting faster and faster, and the castle was being built exquisitely, we were about to see our future home. However, just as our new homeland was about to be born, the once-prosperous Roman Empire finally came to an end due to civil war and foreign invasions. The fall of the Roman Empire directly led to our lack of materials, and the construction of castles may be slow for a while, maybe decades, or hundreds of years. In this way, we built for centuries without hurry. It was not until the end of the 19th century that the castle was mostly completed.

During my long years in the Alps, the closest person I went with was Glynn Siegfried, and I usually call him Mr. Siegfried, and when I am happy I call him Uncle Siegfried. I had seen his wife Monica several times on Poppy Island, and she was indeed a beautiful woman, but I had never met his children, and he once said that he had a daughter named Isabel who went to Denmark with her mother when she was six years old. More than ten years later, the mother and daughter learned about the war on Poppy Island, so they refused to return.

The night before Christmas Eve, my father organized a grand masquerade ball in Vienna, Austria, to which several of the big families of the Dark Realm Guild were invited. I thought: my father's face, this time Green's wife and daughter should come. I walked around the ballroom, and though I had never met Green's daughter, I was sure I could have guessed. Green has always been handsome, and his wife, Monica, is beautiful, so their daughters should be beautiful, so I started to focus on the beautiful strange girls, but they either already have sweethearts or they are not from the Siegfried family. Didn't Green's wife and daughter come? Or was my father's face not big enough? I took off my mask in discouragement, and let out a long breath, and I was greeted by one strange and presumptuous woman after another, who asked me to ask them to dance, but I refused.

Just when I was disappointed, a strange girl without a mask appeared in my field of vision, she was cold and noble, beautiful and moving like an angel, her golden curls were draped over her shoulders and back, her fair face, a pair of deep violet eyes were as seductive as crystal, like a sleeping beauty who had just woken up, under her high and pointed nose, her two lips were as bright as red wine, exuding the brilliance of a seductive angel, so that my soul was instantly intoxicated with her beauty, so that I no longer had a trace of desire for other women. She was trying to find the mask that had accidentally fallen to the ground, but I picked up her mask, and I brought it to her and saluted her politely. She thanked me and looked at me with genuine affection for a long time. I thought: no matter who she is, I will pursue her with a sincere heart. Although she also has two bloodthirsty fangs in her mouth, it always gives a sense of security, and most of the other female vampires have red eyes, and this is the first time I've seen violet eyes like hers.

The girl immediately guessed who I was, and she said, "You're Alex August." ”

I was curious and asked, "How do you know my name?"

"That's because I saw the family ring on your hand. ”

"Beautiful young lady, who are you?"

"My name is Isabel Siegfried, Green's daughter. You may think I'm a stranger because I went to Denmark with my mother when I was six years old, but we can get to know each other through a variety of interactions. ”

I was so excited and pleasantly surprised, I didn't know what to say, it turned out that she was Isabel, and she was undoubtedly the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. In order to better promote the relationship with her, I sincerely asked her to dance, and she gladly accepted. We danced and chatted all over the world, talking about any topic, answering any question, without concealment, and felt very trusting of each other.

After the ball, Isabel decided to settle down in the Alps for a long time, and we got to know each other very well. She is Green's jewel and one of Siegfried's greatest wealth. When she was very young, Green hired a senior mentor for her to train her in an all-round way, and she began to receive higher education, self-protection, hardship, and wind and waves from an early age. During her time in Denmark, she served as an assassin for the Danish royal family, specializing in assassinating treasonous and enemy officials, and the king personally issued her a "pass" to enter and leave the palace at will. During her career as an Assassin, none of the royal family had ever seen her in person, as she wore a mask every time she was summoned or assassinated, and many people referred to her as the "Masked Female Killer". Her three greatest assassinations were: at the end of December 1807, she disguised herself as a man and successfully assassinated Admiral Kavlan Sidek of the British North Sea Fleet, in early January 1814 she assassinated Duke Carlson Andrews of the Kingdom of Sweden, and in late May 1815 she successfully assassinated Count Friedrich and his wife, who financed the anti-French coalition, at an opera house in western Prussia. There are many other small assassinations, and she is afraid that she will not be able to finish them in a few days and nights. The relentless wars and killings have passed, and now she is no longer a cold-blooded and ruthless assassin, she is more emotional, reading Bible books every day, and occasionally confessing her sins before God. I like her very much, and I can see that she likes me too. As time went by, the relationship between the two of us also warmed up, and I gradually abandoned the shadow of war and killing in my heart, and I spent every day with her in happiness and romance, no matter what happened, my heart always felt sweet. I often take her to hang out around the nests of the Titans, and they understand what I say, and they understand what I mean. Isabel can touch their feathers as she pleases, and we often lie on their backs to give us a taste of what it's like to soar high in the sky. They take us over famous peaks such as Mont Blanc and Jungfraujoch, and overlook the mountains above the clouds. The year-round snow, dense snow forests, and misty valleys can all be seen. At night, the Titan Eagle will also take us to the top of the clouds to watch the sea of clouds and the vast starry sky under the moonlight. Occasionally, a meteor will sneak by, as if arriving at a dreamlike heaven, making people feel as if the distance between heaven and the world is within reach.
