woo woo woo... The train whistle blew, and as the damaged train, which had so many carriages missing it, approached the train station, people were shocked by the horrific claw marks and bloody pieces of flesh on it. However, at this time, the people who were shocked on the platform were not the passengers, but the soldiers armed with live ammunition. Apart from the soldiers, there were only confused staff members left. The soldiers, in three layers inside and outside, surrounded the train under the command of non-commissioned officers riding tall horses. The leading officer was tall and fat. He stood aside with a knife slung over his shoulder and a cigarette butt in his mouth. He was not in a hurry. But when his soldiers searched the train three times and only brought down the trembling conductor, he finally lost control of his anger and threw the cigarette to the ground. "What about people?" "There was only the conductor, the driver and a few boilermen, no one else." "What did you say!?"
The officer grabbed the collar of the person in front of him, "Three people, two Pan-Asians, and a blonde. Three! Living people, all gone. Can they fly? " Of course, Yin Xiu and Luo Wei can't fly, and Laura Fountain is also afraid of heights. So they just found three unlucky soldiers, knocked them out, changed their clothes, and walked out with guns on their backs. Yin Xiu walked in the front, pulling his hat as low as possible, Laura Fountain was in the middle, and Luo Wei was at the back. The three of them walked in a very serious pace. If it weren't for the obvious bulge under Laura Fountain's neck, the three of them would have looked like professional soldiers. "So you still haven't seen what the Red Emperor looks like?" Laura Fountain poked Yin Xiu in the lower back. "He was wearing a strange mask, like a magical weapon from some sect, but I can't remember what it was." Yin Xiu whispered. "Maybe I bought it from a Persian merchant at the market for a few cents." Yin Xiu nodded, agreeing with Laura Fountain's statement, "Anyway, I also think that we can't compete with a mask. He used one mask this time, and he might change to another one next time. We can't go around the world looking for this mask, right? It’s the person who matters, not the mask.” "Oh?" Laura Fountaine glanced at him from under her military cap. "I didn't expect your words to be so philosophical. Perhaps they can help us with our current situation." "How can I help you?" Yin Xiu was quite helpless. The Red Emperor in the second memory extracted from Adam's mind was much more vague than what Johnny saw. But what is more interesting is that this time their meeting took place in an ancient castle in Western Europe, rather than in the snow and ice of Eastern Europe as before. It seems that the Red Emperor is indeed quite busy, so busy that he has to run around everywhere, and these vampires follow behind him, as if they are following his lead. "Actually, you hid in Bo Ling to avoid the Red Emperor?" "Of course!" Laura Fona didn't care, "He is the most terrifying person in the underground world now. Even in the past, during the witch hunt, when vampires lined up to be sent to the stake, the situation was not so tense. The Inquisition only wants to exterminate vampires, but the Red Emperor wants to enslave us."
"Why, for vampires, slavery is more terrifying than death?" Yin Xiu asked. "Of course." Laura Fonnna couldn't help but want to touch the goose bumps on her arms, but she was carrying a gun at the moment and couldn't act rashly. So she could only take a deep breath and adjust her mood. "The life of a vampire is very long. As long as he doesn't want to die and others don't want him to die, he will almost never die. In such a long life, even if you live freely, you will inevitably encounter some unhappy things, not to mention being someone's slave. " "Isn't that what a blood slave is?" Yin Xiu glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. "That's different. Blood slaves are used to it." "Do you think you are nobler than a blood slave?" Yin Xiu laughed, "Those people are pitiful. If they are bitten by you, they will become slaves for eternity and will never be able to turn over." "Don't talk nonsense." Laura Fountain said seriously: "I never create blood slaves." Yin Xiu couldn't help but feel curious, "Huh? Could it be that a young lady like you still handles housework by yourself?" "That's not the case." Laura Fontaine puffed up her lips. "Although I can't do these trivial things and even try not to go out by myself, I have money, right? I can definitely hire a few servants and coachmen to ensure my living." After a pause, she said seriously, "Because I think slavery is as terrible as responsibility. I myself am unwilling to accept such a fate, so why should I ask others to accept it?" “Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.” Luo Wei shook his head. …… It was late at night when they strolled out of the train station and into the old Normandy tavern. The only people on the streets of Normandy were drunkards in the taverns. Yoon-su walked up to the counter and held out his finger, “Three tequilas, please.” "Isn't it bad for you to make decisions for others without my permission?" Laura Fountain muttered, "If you're ordering a drink for a lady, perhaps a glass of champagne or red wine would be the appropriate choice." "You're right." Yin Xiu nodded, "So these three glasses of tequila are for myself. You can order whatever you want to drink." Ignoring Laura Fountain's protests, Yin Xiu sat down on his own. They were going to rest here for a while and wait for the first ship to Dunling after dawn.
"But I think the tavern is a bit too ostentatious." Luo Wei couldn't help but look around with some worry. There were many curious or malicious eyes cast at him, which made Luo Wei feel uneasy. "what is the relationship." Yin Xiu drank a glass of tequila with salt and lemon, tilted his head back and exhaled white air. "We are now in a very chaotic place, with good and bad people mixed together. You have to know that all the valuable intelligence in the world comes from pubs and slums." "Aren't we at the center of information flow right now? It's just like the high seas, with all kinds of ships passing through here." Laura Fonnna asked curiously. Yin Xiu looked at her with a rather amused look, "Do you think we are a sailing ship? We are actually some soft-shelled creatures attached to the bottom of that huge ship, or just moss or seaweed. Everyone's eyes are on the huge ship, but no one can see the seaweed clinging to the bottom, so we can plan leisurely, like drinking in the tavern and waiting to board the ship. " Laura Fountain was thoughtful. "Is this what you often call 'darkness under the lamp'?" "You know a lot." Luo Wei smiled and said, "Or the most dangerous place is the safest place." "I didn't expect you to have so many strategies." Laura Fountain raised her hand, "A beer, thank you." "Not red wine or champagne?" Yin Xiu narrowed his eyes. "You have to have the talent to call." Laura Fonnna glanced at Rowe again, revealing two rows of white teeth. "Yong Tan, can I get you a glass of milk?" …… Just as Yin Xiu thought, after they spent a night in the tavern, where all kinds of people gathered, all the spies who were looking for them in the entire Normandy came to nothing and could not find any trace of them. To these vampires and werewolves, Yin Xiu and the other two seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. In addition, since they boarded a ship that was not heading to Dunling but just passed by the port from a distance, those people could not find any trace of Yin Xiu and his companions. In the afternoon of that day, after using the Douzhuanxingyi [transfer], Yin Xiu and his party got on and off the boat at the Dunling pier. "call." Laura Fonnna opened her hands and couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't been back to Dunling for a long time, and it's still so humid here, like wet clothes that have been stuffed in the closet for more than ten days." "Be careful and don't be so ostentatious." At this time, Laura Fonnna was wearing a black top hat and a neat suit like Yin Xiu and Luo Wei, with half of her face hidden under the collar of her coat. However, just showing her eyes was enough to make her extraordinary beauty overflow, just like showing just a corner of a gem is enough to make one's heart beat. "What are you afraid of? Haven't we already gotten rid of all those spies?" Laura Fontaine tugged at the collar of her shirt and unbuttoned a button, revealing her snow-white neck.
"That's right." Yin Xiu spread his hands and said, "But we are in Dunling now, surrounded by enemies. Even if we stand still, they will be able to find us by smell." "Just like the three standing over there, right?" Luo Wei suddenly said. Yin Xiu did not turn his head away. At the same time, he put his hand on Laura Fonnna's shoulder, pressed her gently, and signaled her not to look around. "How long have they been watching us?" "I haven't taken my eyes off it since we got off the boat," Luo Wei affirmed. "Oh? There are such elite spies?" When Yin Xiu was about to say something, Laura Fountain's shoulder shook, causing Yin Xiu's hand to slide down her arm. "What are you doing?" Yin Xiu and Luo Wei were both a little surprised. "What not to do?" Laura Fona narrowed her eyes and said, “I just want to say that no matter how I look at those three people, they all seem to be from our Nicholas family.” Yin Xiu frowned, "Didn't I tell you not to look at it?" "You told me not to look, so I won't look?" Laura Fountain not only wanted to take a look, she also waved over there, signaling the three to come over. So under the gaze of Yin Xiu and Luo Wei, the three Dunling gentlemen in suits and ties came over with a carriage. They should not be blood slaves, but higher-level vampires, so they can appear without protection in the not-so-strong sunlight. "Ms. Laura Foner, it's been a long time." The leader took off his hat and bowed to her, revealing his silver hair. Yin Xiu recognized that the man was someone he had seen in the ancient castle west of Dunling. He seemed to be the butler of the Nicholas family. Laura Founa rolled her eyes and glanced at the housekeeper, which was considered a greeting. "Have you been waiting for me here for a long time?" "We have been waiting for you here since the Earl passed away, which is about five days. I believe that with the help of these two gentlemen, Miss Laura Fona will arrive in Dunling safely." "It's hard to say whether it's safe or not." Laura Fona's face was cold, "I also know that it's not just you, but the entire dark world of Dunling is waiting for me to come back, isn't it?" The butler did not answer, which was considered as his tacit agreement with Laura Fonnna's judgment: all the vampires in Dunling were watching Laura Fonnna's movements. Because she will decide the future of Nicholas' family, and she is the only legitimate bloodline heir. More importantly, her decision will affect the future of the entire vampire world.
If Laura Fountaine would submit to the Red Emperor, everyone would be safe. After the Red Emperor gained the support of the three blood families, the remaining wavering Magnus family would inevitably turn to the Red Emperor, even if their earl was killed by the Red Emperor. The only things between vampires are eternal interests, family affection and friendship, which are insignificant in the face of survival. But if Laura Fonnna rejects the Red Emperor, a vampire war even more grandiose than the original one will immediately begin. It is no longer about other vampire families pressing forward against the vampires, but a civil war among the vampires themselves. To some extent, Dracula and Vlad's family had already crossed the line secretly before, but things had not yet come to the point of falling out, and to some extent they were still abiding by the blood descendants' truce agreement and had not actually taken action against the blood descendants. But if Laura Founa decides to go to war with the Red Emperor, then the thousand-year peace among the blood descendants will be broken, and the whole of Dunling will become a whirlpool of blood. And from here on, Europe will be plunged into war. The remaining vampires had only two choices: either seek refuge in the Far East, or choose to join one side in this grand vampire war. There is no so-called neutrality or bystander anymore, because for the earls, even just watching is an unforgivable act of betrayal. Under the influence of the Red Emperor, the vampire world gradually became black and white. There was only absolute loyalty and absolute betrayal, and there was no gray area. However, as the center of the vortex, Laura Fonnna is not concerned about the responsibilities on her shoulders and the fate of the relationship. She just has a cold face, and it is impossible to tell what she is thinking, as if everything that is about to happen has nothing to do with her. Surrounded by servants, Laura Fonnna boarded the carriage. When she was about to get into the carriage, she turned around and asked Yin Xiu and Luo Wei, "You two, take me back to Dunling, and the mission is over?" Only then did Yin Xiu remember this matter. At first, they just wanted to bring Laura Fountain back. This was part of the agreement, a condition, and seemed to be the whole of their mission. At this point, Laura Fountain returned to the Nicholas family. They seemed to have really accomplished their mission and fulfilled their agreement with the Nicholas family. It seemed that the remaining matters were not something they needed to participate in. Even though he knew that the matter was over, Yin Xiu couldn't help feeling a little weird. After his boots turned a few circles on the ground, Yin Xiu still looked up and forced a smile. "Bon voyage, cousin." (End of this chapter)
