Chapter 54: The Immortal Body (Ask for Follow-up!) )
Daniela, who had a successful exchange transfusion, needed to recuperate for a period of time to adjust to the changes in his body.
Leon carried her to the bed, unconscious, and then pulled away the limbs that were stuck to her body and walked out of the room.
Bella was still waiting outside the door, and when she saw him come out, she immediately asked, "It's over?" ”
Li Ang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the handkerchief he got from the third lady's boudoir: "She's a little tired now, you can go in and take care of it." ”
When Bella saw him like this, she was immediately furious and couldn't help but step on him.
"Do you know, you're like a beast that has been abandoned for a long time!"
After speaking, he went into the room to take care of his sister in a huff.
Li Ang's face was full of innocence: "Didn't you ask me to come?" ”
He was responded to by a heavy slamming of the door.
"I'll go first, go find Archina, I'll go out later." Leon shouted into the room and turned to leave.
After a while, he came to the door of the lady's room, and was about to knock on the door, but saw the door open by itself.
"Why are you stunned, don't come in yet."
Madame had just changed into a new dress and was standing in front of the mirror.
She prefers white and burgundy, which are basically the only two colors in her wardrobe, and most of them are slim-fitting lady's dresses.
"How about helping me see?"
Archyna carried the hem of her skirt and turned around, a red dress made her skin whiter, and there were large, three and four silk flowers tied at the neckline, representing Leon and her three daughters respectively.
"My chest seems to be tight again." She looked down at her burdensomeness.
Leon forced himself to look away and commented, "It's not bad, it's very suitable for you." ”
"You can see it if you want." Archina's eyes were confused: "Isn't it just to dress like this to make you look at me twice?" ”
As he spoke, he pulled him in front of him and bent down slightly: "Look, look carefully." ”
Leon had to reluctantly criticize him twice, and then he felt a little dizzy.
"Let's get here today!"
Arcina straightened up and said jokingly, "That's satisfied?" Do you dare to come to my room at night, there is something better. ”
Li Ang couldn't resist: "Let's get down to business, let's talk about it later." ”
Archyna sat back on the couch, picked up the slender cigarette stick, crossed one leg, and swayed her heels on her fingers.
Li Ang subconsciously persuaded: "Smoke less, it's not good for your health." ”
"No matter how bad it is, can it be bad?" Madame said this, but finally put out the cigarette: "How is my daughter?" ”
Leon was not surprised: "It seems that Bella still hasn't been able to fool you." ”
Achena stroked the flowers on her chest, her eyes full of pampering: "The three of them are my heart, and I know their every move." ”
Leon sat down next to her and explained, "Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result was a success. ”
Then the cause and effect were roughly explained.
After hearing this, the lady glanced at him, and said angrily: "It's cheap for you, our mother and daughter are really unlucky." ”
Li Ang wisely did not pick up, and changed the conversation and said, "What are you going to do with Daniela's matter?" ”
Arcina leaned back with him in enjoyment, her eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a lazy atmosphere.
"Since she wants to go out so much, let her go, let the Duke help take care of it for the time being, and go to meet a few old customers by the way, and confirm next year's red wine order."
"It's a bit of a waste of her talent to always be a housekeeper by my side."
Leon had heard Bella say that her third sister was very smart and learned anything quickly.
Since a long time ago, almost everything in the castle has been in charge of everything in the castle, such as food, clothing, and human relations.
"I didn't expect you to be willing to let go, besides, it's okay to follow the duke?"
The corners of Achyna's mouth curled slightly, revealing a mysterious smile: "Relax, the Duke is far less dangerous than you think, don't be scared by him." ”
"Except for his age and bluffing size, he's nothing good."
"Daniela can deal with him alone!"
"It's just that it's hard for him to be killed, not even Miranda."
Li Ang suddenly became interested: "So, you know him very well?" ”
"It's more than understanding!" Archina grabbed Leon's arm and forcibly put it on her waist, changed her comfortable position and continued, "I have dealt with him for decades. It can be said that the entire Dimitrescu family was established by stepping on him. ”
"It's pretty much what I thought." Leon's hand unconsciously slid across Madame's sensual waist.
Later, Achina told him the story about the duke.
There is no doubt that the Duke must have lived for many years, so old that people have forgotten his name.
He was indeed a hereditary nobleman, and his fief was the valley at his feet.
And he is most likely the first group of people to come into contact with the fungus owner and be infected by mold, even earlier than Miranda.
Through the mold, the Duke gained a long life that made countless long-lived species shame, and his body was also transformed into what it is today due to mutations after infection.
But the gift of fate has already been secretly marked with a price.
Years later, a mother who had just lost her child also discovered the existence of the fungus owner.
She is a more suitable carrier of mold than the Duke, and not only does she prolong her life after infection, but she also gains incomparably more power as a result.
However, what pleased the mother the most was that she saw in the fungus owner the hope of her daughter's resurrection.
In order to find a suitable container for her daughter, she began to use mold and religion to coax the ignorant into participating in her experiments.
As more and more people went missing or died, the local ruler, the Duke, noticed something unusual.
A clash broke out between the two.
The duke, who was already vulnerable, lost the favor of the fungus master, and was not Miranda's opponent at all.
After Miranda's victory, she took everything from him, including the castle that the family had inherited for nearly a thousand years. In the end, these properties were taken over by Archina.
It's just that the duke is not dead, perhaps because of the accumulation of years, the concentration of mold in his body has reached an incredible level, and he has almost become a part of the fungus owner, and even Miranda can't kill him.
Unless destroyed along with the fungus owner.
Miranda acquiesced to his existence, and the Duke did not resist, knowing that he had a near-immortal body, but he did not have the strength to match it.
He lay dormant and waited for the man who could kill Miranda to appear.
At the same time, the duke, with the help of his residual influence, learned to become a merchant in and out of the valley, as he continues to this day......
Achena's story about the Duke was not much different from what Leon had expected.
Only the duke's "immortal body" was something he didn't expect, no wonder he couldn't blow up with a grenade in the game.
"To be on the safe side, I'll talk to the Duke when Daniela recovers."
Li Ang always felt that the duke in his wife's mouth was too weak, and he had to verify it himself.
But we'll have to wait until he returns from the puppeteer Donna's house.
