Castle Banquet

:

Yi Yi was born in a turbulent era, where famine, disease, and war all threatened the fragile life of human beings.

When he was only a child of four or five years old, he was taken away by all these disasters, and in those days, orphans would not receive anyone's mercy.

He became a burden to everyone, and a sandbag for venting.

The instinct to survive made him try to escape. In order to survive, he hid in the cemetery, thinking that he might be closer to his dead family members.

And when deaths occur frequently, even the cemetery is so lively.

People blamed the disease on vampires that no one had ever seen, they called them devils.

Said that these devils brought plagues and killed countless innocent humans.

They say these devils are immortal, let us open the coffin and see who is killing them.

They went to and from the cemetery, dug up long-buried graves, pulled out the corpses that had not been fully decomposed, or exposed them to the sun, or burned them.

Finally, these demons can be eliminated, they cheered like this.

In fact, they later used the same excuse to kill countless innocent women.

However, before that, they saw the young child hiding in the cemetery, and they exclaimed, this is the servant of the devil, the messenger driven by the devil.

The young children were hunted down because of this, and the weak children were quickly captured, tied to a wooden frame, and a warm fire was ignited under their feet.

They wanted to burn him alive.

When he had given up on surviving, he saw an angel without wings and without holy white clothes, but the dying child firmly believed that it was his angel.

The gentle angel rescued him from the burning wooden frame, but he was too weak to open his eyes, unable to take a closer look at his angel.

The angel used his blood to save the child who was going to hell, and the child has been at his angel's side ever since.

The blood-drinking angel held the child in his arms, avoided humans, and lived peacefully.

It's just that when the child grows up day by day, when he teaches him how to feed, how to survive, and how to deal with human beings, the angel who has completed the task is getting farther and farther away from him.

Even if he kept trying to get closer, it didn't help.

But it doesn't matter, their time is so long, I will always be by Shu's side.

Yiyi kept a good smile, "Lord Shu, is it time for Lan Tang to recover the pet he lost? It was unexpectedly delayed for a few days, and the boy is very worried."

The king, who was about to leave, paused when he heard these words.

"Well, you go. This time, he probably walked towards the no-man's land."

"Understood, I'm going to tell Lan Tang the good news."

Backed away, leaned over to salute, turned around and left.

The king leaned sideways against the wall, watching the disappearing figure of the young man.

My own time is too long, and the long time makes people feel numb.That's why I'm going to focus on that little ghost who appeared unexpectedly.

I want to turn him into the same kind, maybe I hope he can exist for a longer time.

Or, it's fun to watch him escape and get caught.

Maybe.

One is also an interesting kid, but I can't understand what he is thinking, or he doesn't want to let myself understand.

Lan Tang is actually a very boring child, too naive and noisy, it is really unbearable.

He really lived too long, too dull.

He occasionally thinks about the past, but for him the past is like a history book, so long and so unchanging.

It was so boring that he couldn't remember what happened.

The king looked up at the bright moon in the sky, tonight, there is no wave.

After successfully staying overnight, Zero and Yuuki set off again.

You Ji originally wanted to stay for one more day, because after several days of continuous driving, she came across a place that could shelter from the wind and rain, so she always wanted to stay longer.

But Zero insisted on leaving immediately, the reason was that although the vampires did not catch up, they were still not far enough from the castle at this time, at least not enough to stop with peace of mind, they had to go outside the range of the vampires to be at ease settlement.

You Ji couldn't convince him, so she had no choice but to follow.

After another two days, they entered the town.

On the side of the road, houses are next to houses. As Zero said, the colors, shapes, and materials of the buildings are all different, and the people moving around the buildings are also colorfully dressed.

Yuki looked at everything on the side of the road and found it novel and exciting, she was so dazzled that she almost got lost.

For this, Zero had to pull her forward again.

No, not long after, Zero was dragged into a roadside shop by Yuuki instead.

It was a grocery store, retailing some clothes and trinkets, which were obviously items that were easy to attract girls.Even Yuki, who came to the market for the first time, was attracted without any surprise, and forced her partner into the shop.

The owner of the store is a lazy middle-aged man. After the two young guests entered the store, he just looked up and then lowered his head to continue playing with his computer.

I probably feel that for customers of this kind of young couple group, there is really no need for a shop assistant to appear.

Although his judgment was partially wrong, the actual situation was similar.

Yuuki ran from shelf to shelf like a fluttering butterfly, loving every item.

It's no wonder that she was living in the castle a few days ago, and all the daily necessities she touched were provided by vampires. Most of the clothes were old clothes worn by others. As for accessories, those vampires probably didn't realize them. The necessity of existence, how can such a life satisfy the aesthetics of a young girl.

At this time, it was the first time You Ji bought clothes for herself, no, it shouldn't be considered a 'buy', at least in You Ji's consciousness, the concept of paying for shopping did not exist.

She is just picking what she likes, and if she likes it, she can take it away. She has always picked what she likes from the library of items provided by vampires like this.

It is naturally impossible for Zero to have such an idea. He is now worried that they have no money on them.

However, he felt that he probably couldn't stop Yuuki either.

He needs to find a way to remedy it as soon as possible, maybe he can discuss it with the shopkeeper?

However, unreasonable credit is obviously not feasible.

What about the mortgage?Do you have anything on your body that can be mortgaged?

Have.

He did have one pledgeable item on him, given to him by the man.

He didn't know what it was, but he could tell it was very precious. Considering the unreasonable lifespan of those creatures, it might be a cultural relic, so he didn't throw it away.

Now it looks like it might finally come in handy, even though he's not exactly happy to mortgage it.

"Hey."

Zero greeted the owner in a very polite way.

There is no need to be polite to a shopkeeper who lets his customers do nothing and plays computer games by himself.

"Huh? Need to pay?"

Even when he raised his head, he still had a lazy expression.

"My sister and I ran away from home, and we ran out of money, but my wayward sister insisted on buying clothes, and I couldn't stop her, so I thought, can I discuss with the shop owner and use this as collateral?"

Zero took off the chain hanging around his neck and handed it to the shopkeeper.

It was a simple pocket watch, embossed in silver, inlaid with colored stones, exquisitely crafted, and still functioning.

The lazy shopkeeper carefully studied the inside and outside of the pocket watch and returned it to Zero.

Zero was puzzled, "Is this not enough collateral?"

The shop owner laughed happily, "Why, it's too expensive, how can the few clothes in my shop be worth buying. Young man, you have to take good care of it. As for the few that the little girl likes This dress, consider it a gift from me. Every beautiful girl is a princess!"

Although the shopkeeper explained it this way, the uneasiness in Zero's heart was expanding. This pocket watch might not be as simple as an antique, but this is not the time to explore its meaning.

Yuuki walked over with the two clothes she liked.

"Zero, I have chosen, do you think it looks good?"

"The little girl has really good eyesight, both of them are very suitable for you, beautiful princess!"

The shopkeeper, who was still lazy just now, rushed ahead of Zero and praised You Ji.

Zero nodded in agreement, he accepted the kindness of the store's gift of clothes, and then pulled Yuuki out of the store without any explanation.

"Since the selection is over, we should continue on our way, hurry up and keep up."

Yuuki was not satisfied with Zero's actions, she still wanted to chat with the shop owner for a while, but she just got the clothes she wanted and was in a good mood, so she didn't bother with Zero anymore.

With one hand being pulled by Zero, Yuuki waved at the shopkeeper a few times with the other hand holding the clothes, bidding farewell to her first 'shopping' trip.

Watching the two unusual guests leave, the shop owner sighed and closed the shop door, waiting for the uninvited guests to come.

"Not what I want, not what I want."

The customers that the store thought of came with the night, and the young man with a gentle smile and the anxious boy appeared silently in the cubicle at the back of the store.

"excuse me."

It is polite to say hello after trespassing on a private house.

"Where is there, I don't know what is the important thing for the two adults to visit late at night?"

The owner of the shop is still as lazy as he was during the day, and he seems to be familiar with but tired of negotiating with night creatures.

"us--"

Lan Tang spoke impatiently, but was immediately interrupted by a sentence.

With the pursuit delayed for several days, and now he has to report his whereabouts to irrelevant people, this situation makes Lan Tang very annoyed, but remembering that before he left, Master Shu had ordered him to obey all the arrangements, but he couldn't help it. Not obediently shut up.

One picked up the topic, smiled and said to the shop owner, "It's nothing serious, but my lord accidentally lost an important item and sent the two of us to retrieve it. Please rest assured that there will be no unnecessary actions after finding it." .”

"That's good. You can trust an adult's words. Except for that one thing, I hope the two adults will be merciful."

Taking advance as retreat, doing well, it seems that the two small animals are nearby, and have already had direct contact with the intermediary, so it is implied that we can only capture the target, and the relevant personnel who are in contact with the target are not allowed to do anything.

But, since they have already contacted the targets, why haven't they been protected?

Thinking about it, these people don't love their compatriots as much as they show, they just talk about it.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Yiyi got up and said goodbye to the shop owner.

"Thank you for your supervision. I hope you will report on my behalf about the visit. The two of us still need to hurry, so we will leave first."

"Two adults, walk slowly, and I won't see you off."

Before the host finished his farewell words, the figures of the guests had already dispersed.

What a beast.

In order to avoid the sensitive ears of beasts, the shop owner's thoughts are just slander, after all, there is really no need to directly offend the partner, even if the other party is someone you hate.This is a mature social method.Mature social methods also include sacrificing the weak. Naturally, the two teenagers can only wait to be sacrificed.The life value of the weak seems to be like this.

mercy?

Nature is pity, but I will not act because of it. There is too much distance between pity and action.

The two teenagers who had been pitied but abandoned were now struggling to speed through the bustling streets.
