"So you humans are really troublesome."
Half an hour later, in a world-famous fast food chain, Elquet supported his chin with his hand, stared listlessly at Shinji who was sitting opposite him, and said vaguely as he watched him swallow a hamburger in three bites.
"I'm sorry, but humans are so troublesome. They need to eat, sleep, are fragile, come in large numbers, and have endless desires - but you're only facing one human being, right?"
"Wow, that sounds really bad."
"Yes, humans are such terrible creatures." Shinji seemed to have choked because he ate too fast, and quickly took a few sips of Coke. "However, even terrible humans have some advantages, such as creativity."
"creativity?"
"Yes, look around you and compare it to the thousand-year-old city you live in. This is the embodiment of creativity."
Elquet looked curiously at the store, which was dominated by red and yellow and emphasized cleanliness and convenience. He thought carefully for a while and nodded seriously.
"It looks good. Hey, do you think it would be fun if I made the castle look like this?"
"Pfft~" Shinji couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of Coke, "Don't, don't!"
A few drops of brown liquid splashed on her face, but the princess was not angry. She just asked in confusion: "Why? Isn't it good to be like this?"
"That's good, but..."
You changed the holy place of origin of vampires, the "Millennium City of Bronstad" with special significance, into McDonald's. Those old monsters who have experienced the era of the True Ancestors will go crazy, especially your sister Altluchi.
Of course, Shinji could never say such a big truth. Anyone who knows a little about the vampire circle knows that the relationship between the Bronstad sisters is very bad.
Elquite once had long golden hair that reached her waist, but this hair was cut off by Eltluki hundreds of years ago. As a price, Eltluki was severely injured by Elquite and had to disappear for many years. She signed a contract with "Valzia Night" in order to use the latter's blood to recover from her injuries.
Shinji didn't answer, but Elquet refused to give up and kept chasing him.
"But what?"
In a hurry, Shinji could only find a random excuse.
"But this is totally inconsistent with the style of vampires, at least the image of vampires that is circulated in human society."
Unexpectedly, this reason aroused new interest in Elquet.
"Vampire style, how do you humans describe us vampires?"
"A red cape and a black suit, a 20,000 square meter castle built by the sea, rows of slaves and a warehouse full of jewels, a beauty sleep from 6am to 8:30pm, a bottle of 1982 plasma when I wake up... Sorry, I've been doing too much tedious work lately, so I'm going to start over... Hmm, let me think, I remember there was a song about vampires."
After taking another sip of Coke to moisten his throat, Shinji began to sing a cappella.
"The vines covered the earl's tomb. The castle was barren, with weeds growing all over the soil. The fat witch who couldn't ride a broomstick chanted a spell in Latin, and her black cat laughed like crying..."
The name of the song is "William Castle", which is one of the classic songs of Zhou Jie, the leading pop singer in the previous life. It is also a song that Shinji loved very much when he was young, and it is also a reserved song in his KTV. Even though it has been six years since I traveled through time, I can still remember the lyrics and melody clearly.
After the song was over, there was a sporadic applause from the surroundings, and some curious young people whistled and enthusiastically shouted "Encore". Shinji was no exception to this reaction. Magicians who are used to chanting spells have a strong sense of rhythm and rhyme. Coupled with the clear voice that has not yet changed and the retro British style of the melody, it is inevitable that the song will receive good reviews. The only drawback is the Chinese lyrics, which the Romanians cannot understand.
Yes, Romania.
The base point of the coupling between the Millennium City and the real world is located in Romania, and it is indeed worthy of the name of the birthplace of vampires. The pronunciation of Mirenia, the home city of the Thousand World Trees, is almost exactly the same as the Millennium City. I don't know if it is a coincidence or someone did it deliberately, but it's a pity that the reputation of "Flanders III" has been ruined.
If there is a chance, I will try to find a way to fulfill his wish, which will be worthy of the treasure he gave me.
Thinking of this, Shinji crossed his hands, put his palms together, and gently wiped them. When he released them, there was already an iron stick in his hand, the length of a finger and the thickness of a millimeter. It was the miniature rafter pile summoned by the "King of Punishment".
The well-fed boy played with the treasure that had a close connection with vampire legends while listening to the vampire princess's thoughts on the lyrics.
Romanians don't understand Chinese, but Elquet can. She can read not only memories from the world, but also various recorded knowledge, including various languages. As long as she wants, she can become the world's number one translator at any time.
"Vampires should live in castles, after all. But it feels weird to see it so barren and overgrown. Many vampires consider themselves nobles and usually keep servants to clean the castle. Could it be that they have been sleeping for too long?"
"Many Dead Apostles are transformed by magicians through magic rituals. The witch you mentioned is probably one of them. Black cats are familiars. Come to think of it, I also have a familiar that looks like a black cat."
"Werewolves, bats, and pigs are the result of using beast genes to fill their bodies. The ancient dead apostles were able to do this. But what's with reciting the Gospel of John before sucking blood? Aren't the church and vampires hostile?"
"And Princess Catherine, it's fine if she eats male mice, but why is her blood type AB? Are there mice with AB blood type?"
"Hey, hey, are you listening?"
"I'm listening." Shinji narrowed his eyes and spun the miniature rafter in his hand faster and faster.
"Then answer my question."
"What's the problem?"
"I didn't hear it."
Elquet grunted in dissatisfaction, and stretched out his left hand like lightning to grab the annoying miniature rafter.
How could Shinji let her succeed? He used a delicate technique to transfer from his left hand to his right hand, and at the same time did not forget to answer.
"I've already said that, that's the perception of ordinary people, the product of human imagination and creativity - if you take it seriously, you lose."
"I won't lose!"
Seeing that she couldn't catch Shinji with one hand, Elquet used both hands. Unfortunately, she was no match for Shinji with this little trick. She tried dozens of times but still couldn't catch what she wanted.
At this time, applause and whistles were heard all around, and it was obvious that the play between the two was regarded as a performance.
Hearing the support from others, Elquet became more excited. She put her hands on the table and then -
The table collapsed.
