Chapter 209: The Second Character of the Castle (Part 2)...
Living in a vampire's castle is also a novel experience.
Ye Xuan walked into the room and felt that although the design of the window was a bit strange, it was generally acceptable.
"Since you can live well, this room has not been decorated in vain," said Little Blood softly, "I don't know what human habitation usually looks like, so I decorated it like a room in a church. Do you like it?"
This bed was not easy to come by. The store was unwilling to sell it to the vampire furniture, so they had to ask a carpenter to make a simpler wooden bed in a hurry. They didn't know whether the gentleman could adapt to it.
Sometimes vampires can sleep for a hundred years, but humans seem to suffer from insomnia. I'd better make another cup of calming tea for Mr.
Where can I find the ingredients for making tea?
Misty Mountain is not suitable for human habitation. The vampires have strong self-recovery abilities and have no use for herbs or anything like that. It seems that there is really nothing that can be called "tea" in the castle.
Well, then tell your husband a bedtime story.
His mother also used those blood-hunting stories to lull him to sleep, and he still remembers the general content.
It's something like "vampires who don't sleep in their coffins on time will be captured by blood hunters." It's a bit scary when I think about it now.
After hearing such a story, will you sleep as peacefully as you did when you were a child?
Ye Xuan said that he didn't really want to hear this kind of story.
You will definitely have nightmares after hearing this, right?
Just scare the kids if you want to, why put it in such a nice way, like telling them a bedtime story.
If you always coax your child to sleep in this way, he will probably have more sleeping problems.
The castle was already eerie, and with this story, he felt he didn't need to sleep.
When he got up the next day, he found that even if the curtains were not drawn, most of the sunlight could not enter the room.
Then there is no need to make windows - no, you can still see the scenery.
Ye Xuan walked to the window and saw bats flying.
Well, maybe he is an underage vampire who is practicing flying like Xiaoxue did back then.
He went downstairs, and his breakfast was not blood products like the banquet last night, but bread prepared just for him.
It looked like it was bought in the village at the foot of the mountain. When he was walking around the village before, he remembered that there was a bakery over there, and this was the signature product of that shop.
Xiaoxue is really thoughtful. After living with the priest for a period of time, he also realized that humans cannot eat blood every meal.
Carbohydrates are what humans pursue.
After breakfast, the little vampire accompanied him to visit the castle.
In the past, I had only seen this kind of castle on TV, but now I can have an immersive experience in the game.
Should we say it is the amazing development of science and technology, or the sadness of being short of money?
The sister of a college classmate held her wedding in a castle abroad, but he could only like those photos in his classmate’s circle of friends.
That castle naturally looks much sunnier than the one where vampires live. Both the wedding photos and the wedding venue are decorated just like in a movie.
"Sir, do you want to read a book?" Xiaoxue saw the priest staring at the books on the bookshelf in a daze, so he smiled and said, "You can read any book here, sir!"
It would be great if you like the culture of the vampires.
The priest took a look at it and found that it was a very ancient text and he could not understand it.
Yes, a hundred years for a vampire is just a dream.
Even if humans have been having a dream that lasts for decades, the reality has not been long gone.
"These words are not commonly used nowadays," the priest ruffled the little vampire's hair, ruffling the already shaggy black hair even more, "I can't understand them."
Xiaoxue lowered his eyes in disappointment, his long eyelashes covering most of his blood-red pupils: "I didn't think it through. It's not your fault that you don't know these words. This only proves the progress of human civilization, while we, the blood race, are complacent..."
Ye Xuan smoothed the other person's hair back with a guilty conscience - Xiaoxue was the clan leader now, and it would not be decent to stare at a head of messy hair.
Moreover, he did not expect that his words would make the other party think of the cultural issues of this vampire clan.
The books on the bookshelf include not only old ancient books that can be seen at a glance to be very old, but also hardcover books with no wear and tear on the surface and no indication of their age.
The cultural level of vampires should be pretty good, right?
However, the focus of the study is not the books that he cannot understand, but more of the collection of decorations.
The antique display cabinets were filled with objects he couldn't identify, some of which even looked ominous.
"Sir, this silver bullet once hit my grandfather." Xiaoxue introduced, but his words shocked the visitors.
No wonder it felt ominous. It’s not a good thing at all. Just put it at home.
The priest frowned slightly: "Your tribe is most afraid of silver, doesn't it hurt to see this?"
Xiaoxue waved his hand: "In fact, the most feared thing is the wooden stake. Being stabbed in the heart by it is the real death for us."
Since they are not considered alive, the conditions for death are extremely harsh.
There is always a saying in the tribe that "immortality is a curse", and as the tribe leader, he cannot completely ignore it.
If left unchecked, it would only make more vampires anxious and worried.
Once, the guy who spread this rumor was caught, and when he was brought before him, he was still shouting these things nonchalantly.
Since you don't want to live forever, then choose to die young.
He threw the wooden stake he had picked up from the human to the other party. Since he was tired of this half-dead state, he might as well be free.
During the time he lived in the church, some humans also asked him similar questions, and he imitated this answer.
If he believed that life and death were under his own control, why did that guy look so terrified and beg for mercy?
Immortality is not a curse. If he could only live to be a hundred years old like ordinary humans, he would not be able to see the master.
With more time, there are more possibilities.
Although humans know that their lives are short, they still work tirelessly to create for future generations.
If the vampires also had such awareness, their development would definitely be able to surpass that of humans, and they would not have to be afraid of the blood hunters' increasingly advanced technology and equipment.
After the study, Ye Xuan wanted to take a walk in the garden.
When he arrived, he saw the garden full of roses, which seemed to be in full bloom.
After entering the garden, he found that the flowers were indeed as red as blood.
This made him wonder if this flower was grown with any special fertilizer.
"Sir, would you like to pick a bouquet of flowers?" Xiaoxue smiled very cutely, but with the combination of these weirdly gorgeous flowers, it was a bit scary.
The only human in the castle was a little panicked, but he knew in his heart that this was the child he had watched grow up, so there would be no problem.
How can watching the other person's appearance change from fourteen to nineteen not be considered watching them grow up?
Although we didn't spend a lot of time together, we still had a close relationship.
"These flowers have thorns, I'm just going to look at them." Ye Xuan withdrew his hand that was about to touch the petals.
In some stories, there are wronged souls beneath the roses.
He didn't dare to touch it casually. Who knew what would be arranged in the game?
The castle looks big, but apart from the vampires' rooms, the public area is just that small.
Ye Xuan walked around and felt that Xiao Xue's position as the clan leader was probably similar to that of a clan leader in a Tulou. They all lived together and fought against foreign enemies when they invaded.
"Are you bored, sir?" Xiaoxue said sadly. "Yes, sir, you have been to so many places since you left Misty Mountain and have seen countless beautiful scenery. How can you think that our castle, which has not changed for thousands of years, is good?"
Sure enough, the vampires’ territory cannot keep the gentleman.
The world outside is indeed wonderful, but now that I have become the patriarch, it is difficult for me to go and see it.
At first, he didn't understand why the previous clan leader had learned this practice of "traveling around the world" from somewhere and disappeared after he stepped down from the position of clan leader.
After becoming the patriarch, didn't I always want to fly freely in the vast sky?
He became the clan leader because of his flying ability, but amidst the hustle and bustle of affairs, he rarely had the opportunity to fly as he pleased.
Now that the gentleman had come, he felt even more the gap between them.
The gentleman, who had gained a lot of knowledge, seemed to become more tolerant. It might be because he had been to more places and seen more different choices, so the prejudice he had against the vampires, which he had not had much to begin with, was no longer visible.
A gentleman who has received the kind of education that the Holy Church has given him should not completely accept the vampires.
Just like the master doesn't allow himself to eat human blood, that is also a misunderstanding and rejection of the nature of vampires.
But this time, even if some restless vampires said that Mr.'s blood must be delicious, Mr. did not get angry. Instead, he smiled indifferently.
What is time like outside of Misty Mountain?
Xiaoxue was extremely curious about this, more curious than any other vampire in the castle, but he was indeed the only one who could not leave the castle.
He is the patriarch, and he has the responsibility and obligation to guard the castle and protect the vampires' home.
Ye Xuan felt that Xiaoxue was just putting too much pressure on himself. If he left for a day or two occasionally, other vampires would not try to seize power and cause chaos, right?
However, those people have a history of kicking Xiaoxue out of the house, so they are indeed hard to trust.
He felt a little distressed when he saw the sorrow in the little vampire's eyes condensed into blood mist.
It must have been quite difficult for this child to become the patriarch, as he only reported good news and not bad news to the priest when he met him.
Well, it's a bit pitiful.
But it’s different from the pity of being hurt when you first meet someone. This is the pity of embarking on the path you have chosen and finding that other paths may be better.
It is not easy for a priest to preach everywhere, but it is a little easier with the help of Xiaoxue.
Having a vampire to protect him is a great help to priests who are easily attacked by pagans and anti-Christian elements.
In fact, they all hope that the other party lives a good life, just like when a priest preaches, he deletes all harmful remarks about vampires.
He didn't know what the vampires outside the Misty Mountains were like, but he would never do this kind of propaganda again.
This castle is just an ancient castle on the Misty Mountain.
