August was obviously hesitant about Vivienne's suggestion. He was used to living alone, living in isolation, keeping his secrets, and constantly changing identities one after another—he had been a businessman, a farmer, a hunter, and a prisoner. , soldiers, even smugglers, and each identity will not last more than twenty or thirty years. Now that he is going to Andre Castle, all this will change. He is not ready to reintegrate with ordinary people. . ↖top↖point↖small↖ said,
"Mistress, I'm sorry," August stood up, and bent down towards Vivienne a little uneasy, "I... I'm not ready yet. People in the Andre family may not be able to accept me like this Immortals, most human beings may not be able to accept it. They can accept a witch or wizard who has lived from the Middle Ages to today, but it is difficult to recognize such an ordinary person, I... "
"Oh, I didn't think carefully," Vivienne nodded, "Then you will continue to live like this?"
"I'm used to it," August forced a smile. "It's actually not that difficult to go back and forth between life and death. Wizards who have found forbidden power can live well. I will continue to work with Ann." The Andre family keeps in touch, and they may move to a new environment, anyway, that voice has left, and there will be no worse days in the future."
Vivienne looked at this immortal human being, and after silent meditation, she suddenly waved her hand and summoned a little bat: "Paul, stretch out your hand, I want to take some precautions for future things."
Although August was confused, he didn't hesitate. He stretched out his left hand, and Vivienne's little bat quickly flew over and bit a small wound on his arm. August frowned. I found a few faint black lines spreading on my arm, and then faded and disappeared.
"It is not necessarily a good thing for a short-lived species to have a long lifespan without supervision. Immortality requires special talent and willpower. I will not allow my servants to do things that make me lose face. This blood will protect you .If you meet one of my descendants or other blood clans related to me in the future, it will also help you prove your identity and give you the right to have an equal dialogue with them. But it will also monitor you—Paul, don’t Do things that disappoint me, if one day you can't stand this eternal life, you'd better end it yourself, I don't want to know from the news of blood that you have fallen into a monster."
August's face changed slightly, but he nodded calmly in the end: "Your foresight is necessary, and I will not disappoint the blood you gave me."
"Relax. Paul," Vivienne laughed, "I'm not a voyeur, and I'm not interested in spying on other people's every move: it will only call the police when you are insane, and it will do you more harm than good. And... it can also Cure your 'bleed'. You can take it easy every time you approach the sixty mark."
August: "..."
The group bid farewell to August, and Hao Ren touched Vivienne's arm when they came outside the wooden house, and said in a subtle tone, "By the way, you have a strong aura just now, I have never seen you so stylish when."
"Is there?" Vivienne looked puzzled, then lowered her head and continued to study the exquisite wooden box in her hand. It was the one with the "stone" before, "To be honest, I'm quite curious about this..."
"Why are you so curious?" Hao Ren had already got two stones in his hands and was throwing them around. "Isn't it just an empty box now?"
"Paul said that I gave this to him deliberately back then. And I specifically told him to keep it safe, because I will come to pick it up one day," Vivian studied the wooden box over and over again. "It shows that I took it very seriously back then - but now I don't remember it at all."
Lily looked at the wooden box and thought for a while: "It should be because of poverty."
Hao Ren squinted at her: "Can all this have something to do with being poor?"
"Look at how delicate this box is. It might have been worth a lot of money when it was thrown away back then. Based on Bat's poor appearance back then, it is estimated that this is the most valuable thing she has on hand. It must be kept by the servants properly. It is better than a stone. Much more important."
"If it's such an important thing, why don't I just keep it by my side? Instead, give it to others to help keep it?"
"Because you're going to sleep." Lily glanced at Vivienne, "Maybe you don't sleep well and you might be crushed, or maybe you're afraid that you'll forget what this box is for when you wake up. Then you sold it or broke it-so you give it to your servant and emphasize this again and again, so that if you have a chance to find the descendants of Lekikh in the future, even if you forget what the box is for Yes, at least someone reminds you that this thing is very important, so you won’t be so poor that you can exchange it for money.”
Nangong Wuyue stared at Lily in a daze: "... okay, I can't see that your logical thinking is so meticulous."
Lily put her hands on her hips, and there seemed to be a tail flicking back and forth behind her body: "How many times have I said that I am smart!"
It was rare for Vivienne to agree with Lily this time: "Perhaps the big dog is right, this thing must have a special meaning... I asked the servant to help keep it, because I must have foreseen that I would forget the meaning of the box. Go back I'm going to work on it after that."
"Before that, we have to study carefully whether these two stones are the 'keys' to unlock the gate of the Wrath Spirit," Hao Ren put the two ancient devices in his pocket, "Terminal, teleport—hope Igor is ready lunch."
Andre Castle is celebrating the first peaceful and peaceful day in three hundred years. The servants happily ran up and down to clean all the corners of the castle. Every window was polished and shiny. The portraits of Andre's ancestors also showed brighter colors after wiping off the dust. Even the butler with a zombie face and the gloomy old servant in the yard were doing their own things with a smile on their faces.
Igor stood in the hall and watched the servants prepare today's sumptuous lunch, with his two sons and daughters standing beside him. Ana and Akeem are not in very good health, but even Akeem, who is in the worst condition, insists on wandering around the castle: the poor young man who has been locked in the house for many years does not want to be locked up anymore. It's in that little cage.
"Father, will those masters come back?" Anna looked at her father.
Igor smiled with his stomach shy: "Yes, they have magical magic, they can go back and forth across the world in an instant—Anna, remember to salute next time you see a witch, our whole family is built on..."
Before Igor finished speaking, the space around him suddenly distorted, and then a white light appeared out of thin air, and Vivienne's voice came from the white light: "I told you, don't be so nervous about the legend of the witch, I They don't know how to eat people."
Igor was taken aback, and hurried up to greet him. Vivienne waved her hand: "I can't stand such a troublesome etiquette—the second stone is already in hand, and we will start to study the matter of the evil spirit gate."
Igor asked cautiously: "Excuse me from the Lekikh family..."
"August? He's fine," Vivienne nodded, "but he doesn't plan to meet you. The curse of the evil spirit is over, and he plans to start a new life. Your 'two families' will You don’t have to worry about that.”
"It's like a dream." Igor sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Lily stared at the sumptuous lunch on the big long table, her tongue almost couldn't hold back, even though Hao Ren was pulling her collar from behind, she kept running forward: "Eat, eat, eat... I want to eat! I want to eat! To eat!"
As soon as Hao Ren let go, he watched Lily and Dao whirlwind to the dining table: These bastards have probably never seen such a grand banquet in their life. Local tyrants are richer than...
After lunch, Hao Ren didn't waste any time, but directly led people to the basement of the castle to study the crack.
This time Igor, his two sons and daughters, and several old servants followed to the entrance of the underground palace. There was no longer hoarfrost spreading on the iron gate that separated the world from the other world. After the cold breath dissipated, it looked Just like an ordinary door. Igor looked at the darkness behind the iron gate in awe: "Is there another world below?"
"It's another space, in the cracks of the real world," Vivienne pointed her mouth at the dark and deep corridor inside. It’s best to set up enough lights and small stations for rest along the way, the vastness inside is beyond your imagination, and it’s as cold as the snow field outside, once you get lost in that place, you won’t be able to come back alive.”
Igor shrank his neck: "Please stop joking, who would dare to enter such a place?"
What he didn't notice was that when he said this, Anna beside him was staring at the darkness with a pensive look on her face.
Ana remembered what the Wrath had been whispering in her head earlier, and some of the information seemed helpful. (To be continued..)
