Sir Aven I Blood Pact
Chapter 20 Chapter 4 The Return of Peter
After dawn, Ivan and Mellon went to explain some things, while I packed my things in the room. In fact, I had nothing to pack.It was just that when I was cleaning up, I suddenly found that there seemed to be a book under the pillow on Ivan's bed. I took it out. It was the "Big Child" that Ivan had read at Tuo Lao before. I was a little curious about what this book said. something happened.When I reached out to open the book, I unexpectedly dropped a letter. When I picked it up, the signature on the envelope was very scribbled, and I could only see a few letters clearly, but I recognized the surname on the back , is 'laideng'.In this way, it should be written by Aiwen's family members, and if he guessed correctly, it should be his father.
peep?Suddenly this word flashed in my mind, and I hesitated to open it and take a look?However, the gentleman's personality in my heart told me that reading other people's letters casually is not a good thing.However, curiosity always likes to come out to cause trouble. Driven by curiosity, I still opened the letter and speculated. I guess this person should have written this letter in a hurry, maybe in a time of crisis.
As for the content of the letter, I roughly understood the content of the letter by relying on the coherence of the letters I could barely recognize.This letter was indeed from Ivan's father.The letter was actually written to Mellon, roughly meaning to ask Mellon to come out of the sanctuary to help Aiwen stop Anwar's plot to kill Aiwen, and then use the blood of the contractor to open the real gate of the sanctuary. When the time comes, Essatan's crisis will pass unscathed.The others are some apologies to Ivan and some entrustments to Mellon.
In the letter, I noticed a word, the real gate of the sanctuary.
I don't understand, hasn't Mellon stayed in Sanctuary all the time?Where is the real door?Could it be that the place where Mellon has been living is not a real sanctuary?
Just when my thoughts were wandering in a mess, I suddenly remembered that this book was already in Aiwen's hands. Could it be that this letter was already in Aiwen's hands at that time?Did Aiwen already know about the true and false gates of the Sanctuary?But since he knew, why didn't he tell anyone?I didn't even mention it?
'Boom boom boom. 'There was a knock at the door.I quickly put the letter back and opened the door, it turned out to be Tuo Lao.
"Sir, young master, they are already waiting for you. They are ready to go." Mr. Tuo is now Aiwen's servant. For him, it is very happy to be an ordinary servant by Aiwen's side. things.
I followed Tuo Lao to the previous council hall of the base. We were not the only ones here at this time. When I stepped into the room, I saw a man among them that I had never seen before.They are talking, and it can be seen that their expressions are not as worried as before, but very happy. This atmosphere is unprecedented.
My appearance quieted down the people present, which made me a little uncomfortable. I don't like the feeling of being noticed.When Aiwen saw me coming, he beckoned to me, and at the same time he said: "Xiao, it's just in time to come, let me introduce you, this is Peter Andy Christie, the great-grandson of Her Majesty Queen Somia .” While speaking, the man looked at me, and I looked at him.The first feeling is that he is a sunny man, full of infinite vitality, but at the same time, he gives me the impression that he is a prodigal son who can do a job well among women.He has very beautiful blond hair like Ivan, but he has short hair, which is a very casual hairstyle. His appearance is somewhat similar to Ivan, which surprises me. Could it be that they are related by blood? ?But he is a descendant of Somia, and Ivan is a descendant of the Layden family. This must be caused by the racial relationship between vampires.
"Oh!" Peter saluted me in a very gentlemanly manner, and then extended his hand to shake my hand. From the palm of his hand, I could feel his blood and fighting spirit, as well as his cheerful and optimistic heart. Tell me."
Ivan glanced at Peter: "You didn't come back 200 years ago, but now that Imon calls you, you're back?"
"Ha, are you blaming me for not coming back to help you 200 years ago? In fact, I wanted to come back, but I was delayed by some things, and when I knew that the Anwar matter and the matter of your sleeping were over It's been a month, and I have looked for the place where you slept, but I have never found it, and Aemon can't tell where you were placed to sleep." Peter scratched his head and explained embarrassedly.
"At that time, Aiwen was completely transferred secretly by Taylor, and it was difficult for us to know. After Taylor died, we had no way of knowing Aiwen's whereabouts." Sassimon said.
"All I remember back then was that Taylor sent me and Imon the news that Ivan would come back in 200 years. We had to wait 200 years." Melon said.
"Taylor also sent you a message?" Ivan was a little surprised, and I was also surprised.
"Indeed." Mellon said affirmatively, "I was still wondering, who is Taylor? I don't even know him."
"Then you came out of the sanctuary, did Taylor arrange it?" Ivan continued to ask.
"How do you know?" Mellon was also surprised, "After you fell asleep for more than 100 years, I followed the instructions Taylor gave me before, and I found a way to get out, and when I didn't know what to do afterwards, Ruby Ya, they found me, they said that Imon gave them instructions to pick me up, and then we started the confrontation with Anwar."
"No, I haven't sent any message to Rebia." Seth Yimon said strangely.His words immediately caused everyone to be quiet, as if they were thinking about one thing.
"Could it be that someone pretended to be you and sent the message?" Mellon was also surprised, Seth Imon frowned and said, "It may be Taylor, because only he knows when you will leave the sanctuary."
"So, Taylor already knew what would happen next?" Peter couldn't help showing a look of admiration for Taylor, "Taylor is really amazing! Like a god! The ability to predict is really amazing!"
Ai Wen's expression was very silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Let's talk about other things on the way!" Seth Imon glanced at Ivan, then interrupted Peter's worship, "Peter will go with us, and this place will be handed over to Mellon and Leonardo."
"Okay, no problem." Melon nodded confidently.
"Huh? Me? Where?" Peter asked. "I just got back."
"Go and catch Anwar." After Susimon said briefly, he summoned a guard: "Order to go down, let the knights and guards who received the order before go to the passageway next to Tuo's house to stand by."
"Yes!" The guard ordered and immediately retreated.
"Melon, come here, I have something to tell you." Ivan, who had been quiet all this time, called Melon aside, and the two whispered something. Serious expression, which makes people a little uneasy.
Although I was curious about what Aiwen and Mellon said, I didn't intend to ask him. I stood outside the aisle when I came here, waiting for Aiwen and the others to explain things clearly.When I looked back at the neighborhood, I couldn't help but feel a little far away from home, but then I thought I was actually going home.As for Anwar's departure, Esatan seemed a little more relaxed. I could feel her panting at the moment, which seemed to be a moment of peace after the temporary disaster.
Thinking of when I came in before, I remember Ivan said that there was a sound at the entrance, but I couldn't hear it at the moment.
"The dazzling bird has been temporarily locked in a black cloth bag by us. It is difficult to catch, but it is not difficult for the knight." Sass Yimon seemed to know what I was thinking, and explained, "The cavalry of the knight's war horse You can temporarily stun the dazzling birds, so that they won't bark, and if they don't bark, they won't shine. Of course, war horses only bark at the command of their masters, and generally they don't bark."
I turned my head and saw the blood-red war horses beside several knights, with silver-white saddles and helmets on their bodies, and flame-like things flashing on their feet.This is no ordinary horse.
"These horses are actually dead, but their bodies are controlled by the knights," Sassymon said.
"Okay, everyone is ready to go." Ai Wen said, "Zhan Lie is placed at this entrance, give the next order, as long as anyone other than us approaches, tweet directly."
"Yes!" After the knights placed their horses in the grassy jungle, the four of us, five knights and five guards bid farewell to Tuolao and Mellon, and turned to enter the passage.
It was still so dark.I realized that Ivan seemed to be holding hands when I came in, which made me suddenly feel a little embarrassed.
When we walked back to the Mercury Gate, Peter looked around very curiously: "Oh, this is the way you came here?" It seems that Peter came in from another passage. I was a little surprised, wasn't that road guarded by Anwar's followers?
"Yes, this is the only road that has not been monitored by Anwar." Ivan nodded, "The passage in Devon County has long been watched by Anwar."
"Why did he give up surveillance on this road? Have you ever thought that he might let you in on purpose?" Peter said a little bit, "Bert and the scorching sun outside are nothing to you, right? ?”
"Whether he did it on purpose or not, we still have to choose to come in." Sass Yimon said.
"It's almost time." Ivan interrupted their conversation by looking at the mercury door.
As before, Sessimon took out the old pocket watch without hands. "In the past." As soon as he finished speaking, Seth Aemon led the way through the quicksilver door.Then we passed through one by one, and went straight to the entrance of the canyon without hindrance, and waited at the place where the plane stopped when we came.
Peter looked at me, and there seemed to be something in that look. I felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and said, "Do you have something to tell me?" Peter smiled and said, "It seems that you have Not human anymore."
"It doesn't matter." I also smiled and asked him, "Ivan said you are Suomia's great-grandson?"
Peter smiled again and said: "Although I am the great-grandson of Somia, the grandson of our lineage in Somia is also my grandfather David. He left Essa because he fell in love with a human girl. Tan Er. Later, the two got married and gave birth to my father. But it is strange that my father has no ability of a vampire. Afterwards, my father has been living as a normal human being, going to school, graduating, working, and finally getting married .My mother is also a human being, but unexpectedly, they gave birth to me as a half vampire. This surprised my grandfather. In the end, he chose to tell me about Essatan and told me I was only 12 years old when I was sent back to Essatan, and then I met Aven, Aemon, and others, and I learned a lot here, including how to be a vampire, of course, I didn't forget I’m still a human being.” This Peter talked a lot, although I just wanted to ask if he was really the descendant of Queen Somia, and I just wanted to know why he was similar to Ivan.
I was surprised. Peter’s last words touched me a lot. Perhaps in the world of vampires, although their immortality is our luxury, there are also many troubles that make them depressed and make them sigh.
"Then when did you go back to the human world?" I asked him. I wanted to know a lot, and I thought maybe Peter could tell me something else.
"When I was 20 years old, I already had fangs, but I had already learned how to hide my fangs." Peter smiled and said, "It was also in that year that I learned how to control my blood sucking. Desire, maybe half of my body is human blood, so I can restrain myself more easily than a pure vampire. After that, I was picked up by my father from Essatan, and I have been constantly changing identities to live in humans for so many years In the world, but I didn't come back until I got the news in 200 years. It's just a pity that I was one step too late. Aiwen had disappeared, and Anwar had the real power, and I didn't find out where Aiwen was sleeping. I stayed in Essatane, but I received a letter from Taylor, so I had no choice but to return to the outside world as he said, and wait for the opportunity."
At this time, Seth Imon's private plane had landed steadily in front of us. After our group got on the plane, Seth Imon told us that we needed to take a good rest on the plane to replenish our strength.Not surprisingly, I lost sleep again.I turned my head and looked at the people around me. They seemed to be resting with their eyes closed. I didn't know who among them was asleep and who was resting with their eyes tightly closed. I could only stare at the top of my head in a daze.But Peter seemed to be in good spirits. He sat in front of me, turned around, and sat facing me.
"What's the matter?" Peter smiled and took a sip of red wine, "You still have a lot of questions from the way you look?"
I smiled awkwardly, the vampire in front of me has lived for so many years, he is much older than me, and he sees more people. "I just want to ask," I asked, "did your great-grandfather Somiya find a solution to the problem of vampire blood?"
When Peter heard my words, he froze for a moment, and then said, "I don't know."
I was also so stunned, Peter looked at me, and said: "I really don't know about this matter, according to my grandfather, Somia did find a solution for many years, and finally when she came back At that time, she locked herself in the ruins of Fort Zoela, and was not sent back to Fort Exomie until she died. As for what she did in the fort, no one knew at all, and no one left a word. So everyone doesn't know about it. However, there is one thing that started after Suomia came back. "
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Originally, there were only vampires in Elsatan, and the blood source was in danger." Peter frowned slightly, and said, "However, after Somia came back, she actually issued an order to allow vampires to go to the human world, and to allow vampires to interact with humans." They can even marry and have children with humans. Of course, Somia also ordered the formation of a new batch of vampire knights. They will monitor the vampires who enter the human world at any time, and check whether they have done anything that violates the vampire principle. All the tribesmen who go out must be recorded in the register, and they must first submit an application to the parliament to get married and have children, and they can combine with humans to have children after obtaining permission."
I was a little surprised. I didn’t expect Somiya to be quite open-minded and avant-garde. She understands that complacency is definitely not the way for a race to develop. Expanding the number of people in a race is the basic condition for development. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a few people. driving the development of society as a whole.At the same time, she also strictly controlled every move of the clansmen outside, which was impeccable, but Somia was not a god, and there were still fish that slipped through the net, just like Aiwen's aunt.
When we arrived in London, it was already past one o'clock in the morning in London time. At this time, London seemed a little quiet and scary.Our group was divided into several groups and went to different places.Peter took his guards to a vampire's house loyal to the Aiwen family in the suburbs of London, and Seth Imon took the knight to leave for work.And Aiwen and I went back to Busa's house all the way, but when Busa came to open the door, I felt that his face was wrong, and Aiwen also thought so.
Nervously, Busa pulled the two of us into the house and told us to keep quiet. He didn't even turn on the lights in the house, took a flashlight, and led us upstairs.When we entered the house, Busa ran to draw the curtains and looked and looked outside.Both Ivan and I think Busa's behavior is too weird. "Busa, what's the matter with you?" I asked, and as soon as the words came out of my mouth, Busa rushed to me like a rabbit hopping, covered my mouth, and said in a low voice: "Hush—don't make a sound. The two of you came back at a bad time, and it's a mess outside at night."
"What happened?" I asked, pulling his hand away.
"Since you left that day, our place has become different." Busa said, with a lot of panic in his eyes, "Five homicides happened in a short period of time. It is said that every victim was bitten to death by some kind of beast, but the police have not caught the beast so far, so now no one dares to go out every night, and everyone even stops all nighttime activities, including going to bars .”
As soon as Busa said that, Ivan and I were immediately surprised.Could it be...
On the treetops of the moon, standing at the gate of the police station, my face is twitching, I beat a good student in elementary school, but now I am going to break into someone’s police station at night in a foreign country, no one will believe this kind of thing ?I looked up at Ivan who was already flying and standing on the branch.My face twitched again, it really wasn't a human being, it just flew up so easily.But after thinking about it, no, it seems that I am also a vampire now, right?
I was standing under the tree, thinking about whether to take the left foot first or the right foot first. After hesitating for a long time, Aiwen suddenly appeared behind me with a smile on his face: "What are you doing? I want to learn how monkeys climb trees, but I don't know Which foot to take first?"
I was so embarrassed that I didn't intend to talk to him, and said, "You don't want to sneak into the police station to see those corpses at night, do you?" Ai Wen turned to look at the police station: "Don't you want to Do you know the truth? Although what we are thinking now may be consistent with what we are about to see, but what we think is always what we think, and it is not completely correct. We have to see it with our own eyes to be sure."
I have no problem with this, because facts speak louder than words.
Ai Wen was neat and agile, and led me to avoid all the surveillance cameras, and directly touched the morgue. I couldn't help but wonder how he knew where the morgue was?Aiwen pulled out the ice tray where the corpse was placed, lifted the white cloth and took a look, then said solemnly: "It seems that our idea is right."
I stretched my head to look, and sure enough, there was a very strange tooth mark on the neck of the corpse. I had seen this tooth mark before, and it was the same on Samantha's neck. "Who do you think would have done it?" I asked. "Anwar? Would he do it himself?"
"Austin, if I guessed correctly." Ivan said in a low voice.
Austin?Oh yes, I almost forgot about him, Ivan didn't kill him at that time, and we didn't see Austin when we were in Essatan, it seems that he was either killed by Anwar or killed by Staying here, judging from the current situation, it is more likely that he will stay here.Could it be Anwar's idea for him to stay here?Austin, who stayed here, attacked humans and killed humans?But why?To drink human blood?No, according to the autopsy records in the morgue, the blood loss in the deceased's body was only [-]%, and it came from the wound. If Austin wanted to drink blood, would that be enough?
Ai Wen had already looked at the other four corpses and said, "The wounds are all the same, it really was done by a vampire."
"Austin—to drink blood?" I expressed my doubts and looked at Aiwen. The expression in Aiwen's eyes changed a little, mixed with a trace of anger: "It's not that simple. Our family has basically Everyone can control not to suck human blood, Austin's ability is not weak, and he is a pure-blooded vampire, so it is not difficult to control his desire. Of course, it is also possible to amplify his desire to drink blood."
"Then this—" I also felt that this matter was a bit strange, but Ai Wen didn't continue talking, but took me out of the police station.We didn't go back to Busa's house, but went to Ed's house. After we left, Ed's house has not been sold yet, but looking at the old furniture piled up at the door of the house, it seems that someone is going to clean up the house up.
We are standing in Ed's living room, where I feel that I can still vividly remember the scene of playing with Ivan, Ed and Kathleen, but now there is no Ed's loving laughter.
Ai Wen stood in front of those photo frames without people, watching silently, as if he was also remembering.I can't bear to disturb, but it seems that it is not the time to recall: "Ivan?"
"Xiao." Ivan said, "I'm afraid what happened here is not that simple. It is impossible for Austin to come out and bite people by himself. I am afraid it was ordered by Anwar. We have to find Austin before he makes another move. Otherwise, there will be more innocent victims.”
I agree with him: "So what do we do next?"
Ai Wen said: "Ed's study has Taylor's notes in the past, which record a lot of things he experienced. I want to find out, maybe I can unlock some things in the past." When I heard this, I immediately felt that this method is feasible , I came to Ed's study with Ivan, and as soon as I entered the room, I remembered the scene of Ed lying in a pool of blood that day.
"Xiao, look for it quickly." As Ai Wen spoke, he had already started searching on those bookcases.I also walked over and looked for it on the bookcase on the other side. Although I don't know what the diary looks like, I think since it is a record written by a prophet, the selected book should have a personality, right?
I looked along the bookshelves layer by layer, and there are quite a lot of books in Ed's collection, but after a cursory look, they are basically ordinary books, and there is nothing special about them. "Evan, have you seen what that book looks like?" I asked. "I saw it when Taylor was holding it, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time. The book was not thick, it was only about the thickness of two fingers. I remember it should be a hardcover black one, oh yes, there is a book on the title page Taylor's signature." Ivan thought for a while and said.
Black, crusty?I read these two words and read them one by one. "Hey?" I saw a book that was very similar to Ai Wen's description, and I stretched out my hand to pull it out. There was no writing on the cover, it was a pure black hardcover book. After I opened a page, I saw a book with a lot of background It can be seen that it is an English name 'Sastre' (Sastre).
"Aiwen! Is it this?" I said to Aiwen holding the book. Aiwen walked over, took a look at the book, nodded and said, "That's right. It's this." "Then open it and have a look." I said.Ai Wen turned to the back of the book, looked at it for a while, and said, "Sure enough, it belongs to Taylor. It contains Taylor's previous experience and some spells."
"Is there any record of your spell?" I asked.
Ai Wen looked at it for a while, shook his head, and said, "No. Xiao, look." I looked closer and found that a few pages in the book had been torn off. "Who would do this?" I was a little surprised, this thing seemed a little weird, who would think of tearing things out of Ted's notes?
"Look here." Ai Wen suddenly saw a page, pointed to read, "I knew from the first moment I saw Tom that some things were bound to happen, I couldn't control it, I can only say that this is what was destined by God .I said a few words to him. I knew that these words would cause an uproar to him and his race. The only thing I can do is to minimize the damage."
"Taylor must have been in Essatane when he wrote this?" I asked.
Ai Wen nodded and continued to read: "I know he has found out some things, he came to me quietly, and he asked me, what is the best way to cover up the facts? I told him, tell a lie and make it up again If you can’t get it right, you can’t cover it up. I told him some ways of governing the country, and he did a good job. Esataner gradually got on the track, but I also knew that if you go up to a height, you will come down. It's a historical inevitability."
"Did Taylor discover something?" Ivan said to himself, and I motioned him to continue reading.
After we read a few pages, we found that the words written by Taylor basically contained some metaphors, and there were no clear words at all. But from these words, we can guess that after Taylor arrived in Essatan, Ivan The father, Tom, must have discovered something, and then had an intersection with Taylor, and the fact that Taylor was imprisoned by Tom must have been one of their plans, but what we don't understand is, what is it? What caused the two of them to plan like this?
peep?Suddenly this word flashed in my mind, and I hesitated to open it and take a look?However, the gentleman's personality in my heart told me that reading other people's letters casually is not a good thing.However, curiosity always likes to come out to cause trouble. Driven by curiosity, I still opened the letter and speculated. I guess this person should have written this letter in a hurry, maybe in a time of crisis.
As for the content of the letter, I roughly understood the content of the letter by relying on the coherence of the letters I could barely recognize.This letter was indeed from Ivan's father.The letter was actually written to Mellon, roughly meaning to ask Mellon to come out of the sanctuary to help Aiwen stop Anwar's plot to kill Aiwen, and then use the blood of the contractor to open the real gate of the sanctuary. When the time comes, Essatan's crisis will pass unscathed.The others are some apologies to Ivan and some entrustments to Mellon.
In the letter, I noticed a word, the real gate of the sanctuary.
I don't understand, hasn't Mellon stayed in Sanctuary all the time?Where is the real door?Could it be that the place where Mellon has been living is not a real sanctuary?
Just when my thoughts were wandering in a mess, I suddenly remembered that this book was already in Aiwen's hands. Could it be that this letter was already in Aiwen's hands at that time?Did Aiwen already know about the true and false gates of the Sanctuary?But since he knew, why didn't he tell anyone?I didn't even mention it?
'Boom boom boom. 'There was a knock at the door.I quickly put the letter back and opened the door, it turned out to be Tuo Lao.
"Sir, young master, they are already waiting for you. They are ready to go." Mr. Tuo is now Aiwen's servant. For him, it is very happy to be an ordinary servant by Aiwen's side. things.

Ivan glanced at Peter: "You didn't come back 200 years ago, but now that Imon calls you, you're back?"
"Ha, are you blaming me for not coming back to help you 200 years ago? In fact, I wanted to come back, but I was delayed by some things, and when I knew that the Anwar matter and the matter of your sleeping were over It's been a month, and I have looked for the place where you slept, but I have never found it, and Aemon can't tell where you were placed to sleep."

When we walked back to the Mercury Gate, Peter looked around very curiously: "Oh, this is the way you came here?" It seems that Peter came in from another passage. I was a little surprised, wasn't that road guarded by Anwar's followers?
"Yes, this is the only road that has not been monitored by Anwar." Ivan nodded, "The passage in Devon County has long been watched by Anwar."
"Why did he give up surveillance on this road? Have you ever thought that he might let you in on purpose?" Peter said a little bit, "Bert and the scorching sun outside are nothing to you, right? ?”
"Whether he did it on purpose or not, we still have to choose to come in." Sass Yimon said.
"It's almost time." Ivan interrupted their conversation by looking at the mercury door.
As before, Sessimon took out the old pocket watch without hands. "In the past." As soon as he finished speaking, Seth Aemon led the way through the quicksilver door.Then we passed through one by one, and went straight to the entrance of the canyon without hindrance, and waited at the place where the plane stopped when we came.
Peter looked at me, and there seemed to be something in that look. I felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and said, "Do you have something to tell me?" Peter smiled and said, "It seems that you have Not human anymore."
"It doesn't matter." I also smiled and asked him, "Ivan said you are Suomia's great-grandson?"
Peter smiled again and said: "Although I am the great-grandson of Somia, the grandson of our lineage in Somia is also my grandfather David. He left Essa because he fell in love with a human girl. Tan Er. Later, the two got married and gave birth to my father. But it is strange that my father has no ability of a vampire. Afterwards, my father has been living as a normal human being, going to school, graduating, working, and finally getting married .My mother is also a human being, but unexpectedly, they gave birth to me as a half vampire. This surprised my grandfather. In the end, he chose to tell me about Essatan and told me I was only 12 years old when I was sent back to Essatan, and then I met Aven, Aemon, and others, and I learned a lot here, including how to be a vampire, of course, I didn't forget I’m still a human being.” This Peter talked a lot, although I just wanted to ask if he was really the descendant of Queen Somia, and I just wanted to know why he was similar to Ivan.
I was surprised. Peter’s last words touched me a lot. Perhaps in the world of vampires, although their immortality is our luxury, there are also many troubles that make them depressed and make them sigh.
"Then when did you go back to the human world?" I asked him. I wanted to know a lot, and I thought maybe Peter could tell me something else.
"When I was 20 years old, I already had fangs, but I had already learned how to hide my fangs." Peter smiled and said, "It was also in that year that I learned how to control my blood sucking. Desire, maybe half of my body is human blood, so I can restrain myself more easily than a pure vampire. After that, I was picked up by my father from Essatan, and I have been constantly changing identities to live in humans for so many years In the world, but I didn't come back until I got the news in 200 years. It's just a pity that I was one step too late. Aiwen had disappeared, and Anwar had the real power, and I didn't find out where Aiwen was sleeping. I stayed in Essatane, but I received a letter from Taylor, so I had no choice but to return to the outside world as he said, and wait for the opportunity."
At this time, Seth Imon's private plane had landed steadily in front of us. After our group got on the plane, Seth Imon told us that we needed to take a good rest on the plane to replenish our strength.Not surprisingly, I lost sleep again.I turned my head and looked at the people around me. They seemed to be resting with their eyes closed. I didn't know who among them was asleep and who was resting with their eyes tightly closed. I could only stare at the top of my head in a daze.But Peter seemed to be in good spirits. He sat in front of me, turned around, and sat facing me.
"What's the matter?" Peter smiled and took a sip of red wine, "You still have a lot of questions from the way you look?"
I smiled awkwardly, the vampire in front of me has lived for so many years, he is much older than me, and he sees more people. "I just want to ask," I asked, "did your great-grandfather Somiya find a solution to the problem of vampire blood?"
When Peter heard my words, he froze for a moment, and then said, "I don't know."
I was also so stunned, Peter looked at me, and said: "I really don't know about this matter, according to my grandfather, Somia did find a solution for many years, and finally when she came back At that time, she locked herself in the ruins of Fort Zoela, and was not sent back to Fort Exomie until she died. As for what she did in the fort, no one knew at all, and no one left a word. So everyone doesn't know about it. However, there is one thing that started after Suomia came back. "
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Originally, there were only vampires in Elsatan, and the blood source was in danger." Peter frowned slightly, and said, "However, after Somia came back, she actually issued an order to allow vampires to go to the human world, and to allow vampires to interact with humans." They can even marry and have children with humans. Of course, Somia also ordered the formation of a new batch of vampire knights. They will monitor the vampires who enter the human world at any time, and check whether they have done anything that violates the vampire principle. All the tribesmen who go out must be recorded in the register, and they must first submit an application to the parliament to get married and have children, and they can combine with humans to have children after obtaining permission."
I was a little surprised. I didn’t expect Somiya to be quite open-minded and avant-garde. She understands that complacency is definitely not the way for a race to develop. Expanding the number of people in a race is the basic condition for development. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a few people. driving the development of society as a whole.At the same time, she also strictly controlled every move of the clansmen outside, which was impeccable, but Somia was not a god, and there were still fish that slipped through the net, just like Aiwen's aunt.
When we arrived in London, it was already past one o'clock in the morning in London time. At this time, London seemed a little quiet and scary.Our group was divided into several groups and went to different places.Peter took his guards to a vampire's house loyal to the Aiwen family in the suburbs of London, and Seth Imon took the knight to leave for work.And Aiwen and I went back to Busa's house all the way, but when Busa came to open the door, I felt that his face was wrong, and Aiwen also thought so.
Nervously, Busa pulled the two of us into the house and told us to keep quiet. He didn't even turn on the lights in the house, took a flashlight, and led us upstairs.When we entered the house, Busa ran to draw the curtains and looked and looked outside.Both Ivan and I think Busa's behavior is too weird. "Busa, what's the matter with you?" I asked, and as soon as the words came out of my mouth, Busa rushed to me like a rabbit hopping, covered my mouth, and said in a low voice: "Hush—don't make a sound. The two of you came back at a bad time, and it's a mess outside at night."
"What happened?" I asked, pulling his hand away.
"Since you left that day, our place has become different." Busa said, with a lot of panic in his eyes, "Five homicides happened in a short period of time. It is said that every victim was bitten to death by some kind of beast, but the police have not caught the beast so far, so now no one dares to go out every night, and everyone even stops all nighttime activities, including going to bars .”
As soon as Busa said that, Ivan and I were immediately surprised.Could it be...
On the treetops of the moon, standing at the gate of the police station, my face is twitching, I beat a good student in elementary school, but now I am going to break into someone’s police station at night in a foreign country, no one will believe this kind of thing ?I looked up at Ivan who was already flying and standing on the branch.My face twitched again, it really wasn't a human being, it just flew up so easily.But after thinking about it, no, it seems that I am also a vampire now, right?
I was standing under the tree, thinking about whether to take the left foot first or the right foot first. After hesitating for a long time, Aiwen suddenly appeared behind me with a smile on his face: "What are you doing? I want to learn how monkeys climb trees, but I don't know Which foot to take first?"
I was so embarrassed that I didn't intend to talk to him, and said, "You don't want to sneak into the police station to see those corpses at night, do you?" Ai Wen turned to look at the police station: "Don't you want to Do you know the truth? Although what we are thinking now may be consistent with what we are about to see, but what we think is always what we think, and it is not completely correct. We have to see it with our own eyes to be sure."
I have no problem with this, because facts speak louder than words.
Ai Wen was neat and agile, and led me to avoid all the surveillance cameras, and directly touched the morgue. I couldn't help but wonder how he knew where the morgue was?Aiwen pulled out the ice tray where the corpse was placed, lifted the white cloth and took a look, then said solemnly: "It seems that our idea is right."
I stretched my head to look, and sure enough, there was a very strange tooth mark on the neck of the corpse. I had seen this tooth mark before, and it was the same on Samantha's neck. "Who do you think would have done it?" I asked. "Anwar? Would he do it himself?"
"Austin, if I guessed correctly." Ivan said in a low voice.
Austin?Oh yes, I almost forgot about him, Ivan didn't kill him at that time, and we didn't see Austin when we were in Essatan, it seems that he was either killed by Anwar or killed by Staying here, judging from the current situation, it is more likely that he will stay here.Could it be Anwar's idea for him to stay here?Austin, who stayed here, attacked humans and killed humans?But why?To drink human blood?No, according to the autopsy records in the morgue, the blood loss in the deceased's body was only [-]%, and it came from the wound. If Austin wanted to drink blood, would that be enough?
Ai Wen had already looked at the other four corpses and said, "The wounds are all the same, it really was done by a vampire."
"Austin—to drink blood?" I expressed my doubts and looked at Aiwen. The expression in Aiwen's eyes changed a little, mixed with a trace of anger: "It's not that simple. Our family has basically Everyone can control not to suck human blood, Austin's ability is not weak, and he is a pure-blooded vampire, so it is not difficult to control his desire. Of course, it is also possible to amplify his desire to drink blood."
"Then this—" I also felt that this matter was a bit strange, but Ai Wen didn't continue talking, but took me out of the police station.We didn't go back to Busa's house, but went to Ed's house. After we left, Ed's house has not been sold yet, but looking at the old furniture piled up at the door of the house, it seems that someone is going to clean up the house up.
We are standing in Ed's living room, where I feel that I can still vividly remember the scene of playing with Ivan, Ed and Kathleen, but now there is no Ed's loving laughter.
Ai Wen stood in front of those photo frames without people, watching silently, as if he was also remembering.I can't bear to disturb, but it seems that it is not the time to recall: "Ivan?"
"Xiao." Ivan said, "I'm afraid what happened here is not that simple. It is impossible for Austin to come out and bite people by himself. I am afraid it was ordered by Anwar. We have to find Austin before he makes another move. Otherwise, there will be more innocent victims.”
I agree with him: "So what do we do next?"
Ai Wen said: "Ed's study has Taylor's notes in the past, which record a lot of things he experienced. I want to find out, maybe I can unlock some things in the past." When I heard this, I immediately felt that this method is feasible , I came to Ed's study with Ivan, and as soon as I entered the room, I remembered the scene of Ed lying in a pool of blood that day.
"Xiao, look for it quickly." As Ai Wen spoke, he had already started searching on those bookcases.I also walked over and looked for it on the bookcase on the other side. Although I don't know what the diary looks like, I think since it is a record written by a prophet, the selected book should have a personality, right?
I looked along the bookshelves layer by layer, and there are quite a lot of books in Ed's collection, but after a cursory look, they are basically ordinary books, and there is nothing special about them. "Evan, have you seen what that book looks like?" I asked. "I saw it when Taylor was holding it, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time. The book was not thick, it was only about the thickness of two fingers. I remember it should be a hardcover black one, oh yes, there is a book on the title page Taylor's signature." Ivan thought for a while and said.
Black, crusty?I read these two words and read them one by one. "Hey?" I saw a book that was very similar to Ai Wen's description, and I stretched out my hand to pull it out. There was no writing on the cover, it was a pure black hardcover book. After I opened a page, I saw a book with a lot of background It can be seen that it is an English name 'Sastre' (Sastre).
"Aiwen! Is it this?" I said to Aiwen holding the book. Aiwen walked over, took a look at the book, nodded and said, "That's right. It's this." "Then open it and have a look." I said.Ai Wen turned to the back of the book, looked at it for a while, and said, "Sure enough, it belongs to Taylor. It contains Taylor's previous experience and some spells."
"Is there any record of your spell?" I asked.
Ai Wen looked at it for a while, shook his head, and said, "No. Xiao, look." I looked closer and found that a few pages in the book had been torn off. "Who would do this?" I was a little surprised, this thing seemed a little weird, who would think of tearing things out of Ted's notes?
"Look here." Ai Wen suddenly saw a page, pointed to read, "I knew from the first moment I saw Tom that some things were bound to happen, I couldn't control it, I can only say that this is what was destined by God .I said a few words to him. I knew that these words would cause an uproar to him and his race. The only thing I can do is to minimize the damage."
"Taylor must have been in Essatane when he wrote this?" I asked.
Ai Wen nodded and continued to read: "I know he has found out some things, he came to me quietly, and he asked me, what is the best way to cover up the facts? I told him, tell a lie and make it up again If you can’t get it right, you can’t cover it up. I told him some ways of governing the country, and he did a good job. Esataner gradually got on the track, but I also knew that if you go up to a height, you will come down. It's a historical inevitability."
"Did Taylor discover something?" Ivan said to himself, and I motioned him to continue reading.
After we read a few pages, we found that the words written by Taylor basically contained some metaphors, and there were no clear words at all. But from these words, we can guess that after Taylor arrived in Essatan, Ivan The father, Tom, must have discovered something, and then had an intersection with Taylor, and the fact that Taylor was imprisoned by Tom must have been one of their plans, but what we don't understand is, what is it? What caused the two of them to plan like this?
