Chapter 69: The Bell of Eros Rings with the Arrival of Spring
"What is love in this world? It makes people pledge their love for each other through life and death." Ye Wan finished this sentence with the look of a bard singing an aria, and then pulled You An's sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes: "What a great love!"
You An didn't pull his hand away, but gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you use your sleeve to wipe your tears?"
She ignored him and just asked Rose: "And then?"
Vampire hunters were fully prepared to exterminate the vampire clan, even to the point of killing suspected vampires, adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than to let them go."
Dracula asked his people to leave, the farther away the better. Within a year or two, most of the vampires died or fled, but he himself refused to leave.
He has lost his lover and decides to fight to the death with those vampire hunters.
"But something happened." Rose ate a mini chocolate tart. "Ophelia died."
The reason was that a child appeared on the mountain road of Twilight Manor. It was said that he was a human orphan fostered in Twilight Manor. However, in order to get the bounty, the vampire hunters used the silver cross directly without caring whether he was a vampire or not.
The cross was so sharp that no matter whether it hit a vampire or a human, they would probably not be able to escape.
Ophelia, who was passing by, threw herself behind the orphan, with a half-broken silver cross stuck on her back.
Dracula held her body in his arms, heartbroken. He killed all the vampire hunters and then locked himself in the villa.
"Before he sealed himself off, he used magic to transfer a small portion of his consciousness to Ophelia's son, my grandfather, to protect the continuation of her family's bloodline. This consciousness has now been transferred to me."
Rose shrugged. "Maybe it's because of that vampire consciousness. My family loves eating blood, like pig blood sausage and pig blood sausage. Ye Yu held a special vampire party in the tavern a while ago, and I even went."
Ye Wan: “?”
Rose nodded at her. "Because many years have passed, the old king died, and the vampires have returned. In fact, during the turmoil, most of them fled to the Ash Mountain, where life was not easy. Although the Ash Mountain rarely sees the sun, making it a suitable place for vampires to live, the volcano is always erupting..."
Ye Wan quickly interrupted her: "Do you still know my mother?"
"Oh yes, I went to the Old Oak Tavern more than 20 years ago. The blood sausage made by Ye Yu was really delicious. That satisfying grainy texture and bloody taste..." Rose looked at Ye Wan: "You look exactly like your mother. She looked like you back then, but she was a head taller than you."
Ye Wan, whose height was mentioned by countless people, said: "I'm sorry, I didn't like drinking milk since I was a child, which delayed my height development."
Youan finally decided not to tolerate the two people's small talk any more. "So you deliberately came into the Old Oak Tavern and brought us in. I'm afraid you already know who committed these incidents."
"I honestly don't know who it is, but I have a rough idea of what they're trying to do."
Rose looked towards the secret room: "Wake up Dracula."
Count Dracula, the legendary leader who dances in the dark night, is a nightmare to everyone when he truly unleashes his fangs.
He possessed extremely fast speed. One moment he was a hundred meters away, and the next second his cold fingers had already pinched the enemy's neck. Before ordinary people could catch his trajectory, death came with the cold wind.
He also possesses immense strength, and his pale, slender fingers can penetrate the hunter's armor.
Then there is the curse of immortality. It is said that his wounds can heal in an instant. Although it is a curse that prolongs his pain for him, for outsiders, the vampire Dracula is the most powerful weapon.
Moreover, the human race killed his compatriots and lover, so Dracula must hate the human race very much.
Rose looked at Youan seriously: "That group first blamed the disaster in the royal capital on the vampires, reigniting the conflict between humans and vampires. At the same time, they took the opportunity to awaken Dracula and use him for their own benefit."
The air suddenly became quiet.
"Now we can only wait and see what they are going to do." Youan thought for a while and could only say this.
After exploring the villa to no avail, Ye Wan had no choice but to follow You An back home. There was a vampire outside the city who was said to have great magical powers. Ye Wan was so worried that he lost a lot of weight.
In her dreams, a group of vampires with bared fangs were chasing her in the subway.
In this situation, You An could only intentionally or unintentionally give her more meat during the meal and said, "It will be okay, don't worry."
As the investigation deepened, it was confirmed that the matter had nothing to do with vampires, and Euan sent many knights to patrol back and forth at Twilight Manor.
The other party seemed to have noticed something and stopped attacking, and the vampire incident came to a temporary end.
…
With the arrival of spring, on the first day of spring, the fairies held a grand ceremony under the moonlight, drinking all kinds of delicacies and fine wines at the ceremony and dancing in the moonlight.
If people are lucky, when they look up at the moon on this day, they will see countless fairies with transparent wings flying following the moon, and then glowing gold powder will fall.
On this day, the Fairy Queen Titania reviews everything that happened in the past year, reprimands fairies who abuse their magic power and drink excessively, and rewards fairies who perform well.
When the first rays of spring morning light shine on the earth, the fairies will disappear without a trace.
The next afternoon, the rainbow valley where the fairies hold a grand ceremony will attract tourists who come for an outing.
Because according to legend, the stones, charcoal, wheat ears, etc. that the fairies encountered during the ceremony were all gifts of blessings, and wearing them on the body could bring endless wealth to the owner.
"That's right, search like this, Pancake. Don't leave out a single stone." Ye Wan held a pile of stones in his hand and instructed Pancake to rummage through them on the ground.
Are you kidding? That's an endless source of wealth. How could Ye Wan miss such a good thing?
The wind circled the clouds, swept across the rainbow valley, and then danced wildly on the branches of the cherry trees for a while. Countless pink cherry blossoms as tiny as snow fell and landed on Pancake's forehead.
Like wearing a garland.
Thanks to Ye Wan's careful feeding, it has become a very qualified fluffy ball. Almost everyone likes it. The two blonde girls who were having a picnic next door enthusiastically took out strawberry jam cookies and invited Pancake to eat them.
It was launched like a cannonball and ran away without looking back.
Then it snuggled into the arms of the blonde girl and happily ate the cookies.
"That guy Pancake." Ye Wan was speechless.
Youan looked like an old grandfather, holding a green ceramic teacup and drinking tea. It was the first crop of tea this year, which he brought back from the palace specially.
Two boxes of qingtuan (green rice dumplings) were placed on the red and white checkered picnic mat, which was best paired with bitter tea.
Early in the morning, Ye Wan used fresh Artemisia selengensis, some mugwort, and glutinous rice flour to mix together and made some green rice dumplings.
The skin of this green dumpling is soft and glutinous, and it is very chewy. It feels soft when chewed and has the fragrance of mugwort and wormwood.
It is filled with red bean paste with granules of red beans. When you bite through the skin of the green dumpling, the fine red bean paste will slowly flow out.
Youan prefers the one with egg yolk and pork floss. The pork floss is dense and fluffy, and the salted egg yolk is greasy and oily. He ate two plates by himself.
Ye Wan ate a green dumpling filled with red bean paste and took a sip of tea. He felt the breeze was very comfortable and stretched out on the picnic mat.
The sweet aroma of cocoa wafted from afar, and countless dandelions glowed and spun in the air before falling into Ye Wan's soft hair.
Youan is drawing with a drawing board in his arms.
Ye Wan didn't know what he was drawing and wanted to go over to take a look, but he turned his back warily.
Ye Wan lay back down: "If you don't want me to see it, then don't."
He was drawing with a pencil. Perhaps it was the blue sky, white clouds, gurgling stream and pink cherry blossoms that made Youan's expression become gentle.
He was drawing a pair of bright, ever-smiling eyes, and of course not forgetting the soft black hair and playful nose.
A tiny dandelion landed gently on his drawing paper like a parachute. He gently brushed it away with his fingertips. The touch was so good that Youan was reluctant to let it go.
The person in the painting is lying in the warm spring breeze, sleeping soundly.
He was a little helpless and took off his windbreaker to cover her.
I don’t know how long it took, but the breeze brought dark clouds, and then the continuous spring rain fell.
Although it was not a heavy rain, people who were picnicking in the valley all looked for places to shelter from the rain.
Euan held his coat over their heads, with Muffin squatting in his pocket.
"There's an abandoned cabin over there where you can take shelter from the rain." He reached out and held Ye Wan's hand, leaning on the right side where the rain was heavier to shield Ye Wan from the rain.
Like a knight holding a shield.
It was clearly a drizzle, but suddenly it poured down and turned into a heavy downpour. You An held her hand tightly: "Be careful, the ground is slippery."
Their shoes stepped on the ground, stepping on many fallen pink cherry blossoms.
Ye Wan felt that her shoes and socks were soaked through, sticky and uncomfortable on her skin. She turned her head to look at Youan's profile. Because the right side, where the rain was heavier, blocked most of the rain for Ye Wan, he looked a little embarrassed.
But Ye Wan felt that it would be better if the rain did not stop, because the heavy rain seemed to separate the two of them into a small deserted island.
There are only two of them on the island. No one else can come in, and no one else can come in.
Finally I found an abandoned cabin, but the door was locked, so I could only hide from the rain under a small, dry eaves.
The raindrops hitting the eaves made a light tinkling sound.
Ye Wan's sweatshirt was sticking to her body. You An looked down at her and quickly wrapped his windbreaker around her.
Then he coughed unnaturally.
Ye Wan felt that this kind of atmosphere was really good. She wanted to say something to You An, but she couldn't say anything because her heart was beating violently.
The frequency is about the same as the speed at which the heavy rain falls.
The sound was so loud that it hurt my eardrums.
Youan didn't dare to look at her. The rain didn't make her look wet. On the contrary, the water droplets were like diamonds embedded in her silky long hair and fell on her fair face, sparkling like diamonds.
Stunningly beautiful.
His heart was also beating violently.
Youan looked down at her. She was shaking the water off the muffins. Her face was full of joy and her lips were as beautiful as roses.
Makes him want to kiss.
Just as he was about to speak, the sound of bells came from the distant capital.
The sound of the bell was different from the dull sound of the bell that told the time. It was a light and joyful bell.
Ye Wan asked curiously, "Why have I never heard this kind of bell sound before?"
"It's the Bell of Eros."
Youan explained for her, he also felt very strange: "Why did the Bell of Cupid ring so soon this year?"
