Sir Aven I Blood Pact

I remember the last time I took a boat was when I was a child, when I was about seven or eight years old, my grandfather took me to Macau and went out to play.It was that time that my grandfather met his old friend Professor Bancroft, and after that time, our family had more contacts with Professor Bancroft.Leaning on the armrest of the passenger ship and thinking about the past, I felt the comfort of the sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean on my face, as if time had stopped, and I was fascinated by the comfort of this moment.

"You don't go to bed so late, blowing the sea breeze here?" Ivan came out of the cabin, just in time to see me.

"Oh, I can't sleep." I smiled awkwardly, "I don't often take boats, so I feel a little dizzy."

"Are you seasick?" Ivan didn't lean on the handrail, and I saw that he was keeping a distance from the handrail carefully. "There should be some medicines in this boat, or I'll ask Peter." I stopped him: " Hey, no need, he fell asleep at this point. It’s just a little dizzy, it’s okay, just get used to it.” I looked at him again: “Are you afraid of water?”

Ai Wen was embarrassed when I asked him this question: "Ah, no, no, I just, no."

He was a little incoherent, and I smiled: "It's okay to be afraid of water." This is a strange thing, Ivan is afraid of water?After chatting with Aiwen for a few words, I didn't feel dizzy anymore, so I greeted Aiwen and went back to the cabin. We found some red wine and sat down.

"We have only one river in Essatan, which flows down from the Lost Mountain in the south." Ivan drank a cup, and then started chatting with me, "That river has been around the entire city, we call her' Zixue River'. When I was young, I ran by the river to play, but I slipped and fell off a bridge. I almost drowned. At that time, I couldn’t swim. Ever since that time, I’ve been afraid of deep water , shallower water is fine, but slightly deeper water is fine.”

"So that's how it is." I was happy, this Aiwen also has weaknesses, and now it's fun, "Then what else are you afraid of besides water?"

Ai Wen followed my words and was about to continue, but he suddenly became excited and smiled at me immediately: "Hey, let me tell you, if I tell you this, wouldn't you be grabbing my braid? I wouldn't Tell you."

"No, how could I?" I smiled to myself, it seems that Ivan is still smart, and now there are fewer opportunities to play tricks on Ivan, "I think only Peter can do this." Ivan and I They smiled at each other and clinked wine glasses. "But having said that," I said, "I'm a little worried about Aemon and the others, and I don't know what's going on there."

"We will be able to reach the edge of the cliff tomorrow morning, and we will know when we go in first to see the situation." Ai Wen said, "We will dock the passenger ship a hundred meters away. Peter said that there are many hidden reefs on the edge of the cliff. This boat can’t go in, you can only go in by kayak.”

"Oh." I nodded, "That's also good, so the target is smaller."

"Yes." Ai Wen also nodded, "Your brother Zhao told me that there will be heavy fog on the sea at four o'clock tomorrow morning, which is a perfect opportunity for us to sneak in."

I was a little surprised: "Zhao Xian?"

"Yes." Ai Wen nodded again, "I think this person is a bit interesting." I looked at Ai Wen's eyes, and seemed to have a high opinion of Zhao Xian, and I said, "Did Zhao Xian read the weather forecast?"

"No." Ai Wen shook his head and said to me, "He told me that he observed the astrology last night, and he said that the gathering of five stars in the sky will bring good luck, which is a good omen for us." Listen, it's even more surprising, this Zhao Xian can actually read astrology?It seems that I need to find time to meet this brother Zhao Xian for a while.

While talking nonsense, I saw Aiwen playing with the ring that Anwar gave him. I suddenly felt something strange, so I asked him for it.The engraving inside this ring is Somia's name, that is to say, this is Somia's ring. I rubbed the ring with my finger, and suddenly my finger touched something. The ring was originally inlaid with gems. Some even opened a hole. "Can it be opened?" I was very surprised, and Ivan was also very surprised. I probed over to look, I opened the diamond, and unexpectedly found that there was a small needle hidden inside, and there seemed to be a trace of blood on the needle.

This made Ivan and I completely dumbfounded. What the hell is this?We didn't touch the little blood-stained needle, we closed the cover intact, and the ring returned to its original appearance.

The time displayed on the watch was already 11:30 in the evening, but I still didn’t feel sleepy, so I let Aiwen go back to the room after some hard work, but instead I hesitated outside Zhao Xian’s room. He probably didn't sleep either.I was hesitating whether to knock on the door, but the door opened. Zhao Xian stood in front of me with a smile on his face. His smile reminded me of the portrait of Taylor I saw in the sanctuary before. The two smiles gave me The feeling is exactly the same.

"Oh? Jizhe, are you here to look for me?" Zhao Xian gave way to me, "Come in, I think you have something to tell me?"

I had no choice but to nod and entered the room.After sitting down, I didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "I heard from Aiwen that you can observe the sky?" Zhao Xian didn't hesitate, and explained to me: "I have learned some. Back then, Taylor left a gift for my aunt. An astrology book, I sometimes look through it when I have nothing to do, that book is very worn out, and I only understand part of it, not as good as Taylor."

"Then you are amazing." I sincerely envied, "I know too little about Taylor."

"Do you want to hear about Taylor and our aunt?" Zhao Xian smiled, and I nodded immediately.Zhao Xian poured me a glass of water, and then chatted with me about Taylor and his aunt Zhao Qiuhe...

Time flies, but this story makes me feel that time is very slow, and the slowness makes the love between the two seem so long. "But why did Taylor leave in such a hurry? Why didn't he take his great-aunt with him?" I asked after Zhao Xian finished speaking.

"No one knew about this back then." Zhao Xian took a sip of water, "Maybe there is really something urgent to do. Okay, Jizhe, it's late, you should go back to sleep, and wait for Essatan's business It's over, you go back to your hometown with us and meet my grandpa, maybe you will know more stories."

I was a little reluctant to leave. This person is always used to half-talking and half-hanging things, which makes people lose their appetite.I walked all the way to the door of my room with some frustration, but there was a person waiting for me there.

I poured a glass of water for Zhao Di and asked her, "You don't sleep so late, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Di held the water glass in both hands, stared at the water glass, did not speak for a long time, I was wondering, but this girl said: "I, actually want to find that Ai Wen."

Looking for Ivan?I froze for a moment, why did this girl look for Ai Wen? "You have something to do with him? Then why is it at the door of my room?" I was a little curious, this little girl seemed to have something on her mind. "I, I, hey." Zhao Di seemed hesitant to speak, "Brother Ji Zhe, is that Ai Wen really a vampire?"

"Yes." I nodded, this girl asked so unnecessary today, don't they all know about it? "What's wrong? Don't you know this?"

"Then, how old is he?" Zhao Zhudi asked again.

"How old is it?" I thought about it and calculated in my mind, "He has been asleep for 200 years, so he must be two or three hundred years old. What's the matter, girl, why are you asking this?"

Zhao Di moved the corner of his mouth and asked again: "I heard from Sister Hannah that Essatan is a beautiful place."

I froze again, what on earth is this girl going to say?But if you want to say that Essatan is beautiful, it depends on who said it. My first impression of Essatan is rather gloomy. Maybe the timing of our first meeting is not right.That was the time when we were fighting Anwar.

"Xiao Di, what on earth are you going to say? Tell brother directly." I felt a little uncomfortable, and asked her directly, "We are all a family, there is nothing we can't say." Zhao Di bit his lip and hesitated for a long time. In the end, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said to me with a serious face: "Brother Ji Zhe, I like Ai Wen."

I almost dropped my jaw on the ground. This girl spoke so directly. I was so surprised that I didn’t know what to say. I also froze for a long time. There was some blush, but those bright eyes were very energetic. It seemed that she was serious, not just talking casually.

I sat down and looked at her: "You—you mean, you like Ivan?"

"Hmm." Zhao Di nodded resolutely without avoiding my gaze.

"Girl, how old are you?" I asked.

Zhao Di replied to me: "Eighteen."

?This is far from Aiwen's old man who is two or three hundred years old... I can't help but think about the age issue. I have never met a girl who confessed to me that she likes another man, and that man is still... like this I'm a little embarrassed about the situation, but after all, this is my sister's innermost thoughts, and I can't deal with it casually.

"Girl, look at this." Although I haven't experienced too many emotional dramas, but from my 5000 years of Chinese inheritance education, Zhao Di is not suitable for dating a vampire at present, it will hurt She, "This Ivan is for you, you two have known each other for such a short time, you can't be sure if your feeling for him is called love, maybe you just have a good impression of him at first impression. Yes, no Wrong, he is handsome, it is understandable that you girls like handsome guys, but..."

"No, Brother Ji Zhe." Before I finished speaking, Zhao Di interrupted me first, "I'm sure this is love. When I first saw Ai Wen, I thought this man was my next Half a lifetime can be entrusted."

This silly sister, I couldn't laugh or cry at her words, and I fell in love with her at the first sight. Is this love at first sight?But I never believe in love at first sight. The unbreakable relationship between two people that can be settled in time is called love.Love at first sight can only be regarded as a good impression at best.

"Sister, I don't think it's better than this." I was helpless, and there was only one way now, "Our first task now is to go back to Essatan to rescue those vampires who were persecuted by George. There is no time to think about other things, so you might as well put this matter aside. While we are doing this, you can also see what Ai Wen is like. When the matter is over, If you are still sure that Aiwen is entrusted by you for the rest of your life, then brother, I will personally match you, pull the red line, and be an old man under the moon, okay?"

As soon as Zhao Di heard what I said, he immediately became happy and shook my hand: "Brother Jizhe, don't lie to me!"

"Okay, brother Ji Zhe always keeps his word." I nodded.

This girl was finally coaxed back to sleep by me. At this time, my drowsiness also hit me. I was too lazy to take off my clothes and go to bed. I looked at my watch. It was almost 01:30, so I just lay on the bed.On the sea, our boat has been heading towards the destination, swaying with the waves, it is really like a cradle, it makes me want to sleep, but just knowing a girl's mind makes me feel It's embarrassing and funny at the same time.

In the shaking of the passenger ship, I fell asleep in a daze——

Under a crescent moon, reflected on the endless mountain range is the afterglow of the crescent moon, cold and aloof, but with a strong smell of blood, it does not come from the tip of the nose, but It protrudes from the heart socket to the tip of the nose.I don't know what it feels like, it's just that this feeling makes the blood in my whole body stiffen, and I know I don't like this feeling.

The place where the moonlight cannot shine is called darkness, and there are often some cold and evil things hidden in the darkness.Let's say it's a thing, I think it's a bit perfunctory.It can be said to be an object with the shape of a beast, just like the sound from the throat, the ups and downs of the body gradually came out from the darkness, the huge shape covered the gaps between the branches, Under the moonlight, a pair of bloody eyeballs were dripping and looking around, as if they were extremely vigilant, and seemed to be looking for something.At the feet of the beast-like claws, some liquid dropped frequently, blood-colored, probably blood.

Suddenly, that thing seemed to feel something, and let out a low cry from its throat, and instantly disappeared under the moonlight between the branches of the tree. Under the afterglow, a figure seemed like lightning, and three He jumped five times and landed on the protruding place on the cliff, and howled a few times towards the moonlight, it was like a howling of a wolf.

"Wolf!" I woke up with a start - by the wolf howling in the dream.I panted heavily and gradually calmed down my emotions. I looked at my watch and found that I had only slept for an hour and a half, and it was three o'clock.I remembered that there would be thick fog on the sea at about four o'clock, and it was time for us to prepare. I got up and washed up, and I became more awake.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I suddenly remembered the dream I had just now, and felt weird, what the hell was that?Beast?Is it a wolf?Could it be a werewolf?

This reminds me of a passage written in Grosvenor's "Blood City" that is on my bed:

We and they are two complementary races. We are bloodthirsty, and they are carnivorous. In the long history, we used to live together, and when we hunted and hunted food, we had a clear division of labor.However, gradually, we have human nature and understand some things. We gradually can't understand what they do, and we move towards nobleness, while they are barbaric, vulgar, and blood-drinking, and we don't bother to be with them anymore.We offered to leave, but they agreed on the surface, but intercepted us halfway, treating us as food.

If the two characters in this text are vampires and werewolves, then this passage becomes how vampires break away from werewolves.But is what Grosvenor said true?I don't dare to believe it all, but I can't believe it all. According to historical records, vampires are a race that really existed, and werewolves have always been a race that accompanies them, and there is no conclusive evidence for the werewolf race. It proved that there are only occasional legends of werewolves handed down.

Then I have another question, why do I have such a strange dream?Dreaming of a werewolf howling in the moonlight?I smiled helplessly, and lamented that since I met Aiwen, my dreams have become more and more strange.It's just that I have an intuition that no matter how strange the dream I have is, I'm sure it will be reflected in the future, or it's a kind of revelation to my inference.

At around four o'clock in the morning London time, our passenger ship was moored in the sea area more than 300 meters away from the exit of Zoela Castle Secret Road.Zhao Xian stood on the deck and looked at the sea intently. After a while, he came over and said to us who were lowering the kayak: "A thick fog has formed on the water surface, we have to hurry up!" , or wait a little longer, we won’t even be able to tell the direction.”

"Okay." Ivan nodded, and said to Peter and the captain, "We will go in in a kayak, and the boat will stay here and not move. After we go in, the kayak will have to paddle back." Peter hurriedly asked: "Row back again? Why?" Ai Wen explained: "The small wooden boat under the secret passage has been destroyed long ago. If we kept the kayak in good condition, if George escaped and came to this road, then why would we Didn’t you leave him a retreat?” This made sense, Peter immediately asked the captain to send a crew to kayak for us, and we sat in two kayaks and prepared to set off with weapons.

The dense fog is really strong. We only drove out for a minute or two before we were already covered in dense fog. The front, back, left, and right sides were all covered with thick fog. Even the kayak behind us had no Just can't see the trace.Peter has never been to Essatan by boat from the Atlantic Ocean, and he can only give an approximate range of coordinates. Within this thick fog, any coordinates are useless, and even the compass in his hand is wrong. Under the circumstances, there seemed to be no other way than to let the current push our boat.However, at this moment, there is still one of us who can accurately identify the direction, and that is Zhao Xian, who has been sitting on the bow of the boat, staring ahead.I was very surprised by this, did this Zhao Xian really inherit Taylor's skills?But Zhao Xian seems to have no blood relationship with Taylor.

I was thinking about this question all the way, and Ai Wen, who was sitting next to me, saw that I was frowning and looked at Zhao Xian's back in a daze, and felt strange: "Xiao, what are you looking at?"

"Ah? No, it's nothing." I realized that I seemed to be a little out of line, and hurried to cover, "The fog is really thick. There is such a thick fog in the Atlantic Ocean."

Peter looked around and said, "Really, I have never seen such a thick fog on the sea. You can't see the lights on the kayak behind you." The rope can still be seen clearly, and the movement of tension and relaxation at that time can indicate that there is a kayak behind.I turned around again, originally looking at Zhao Xian, but I didn't expect a shadow of a cliff to appear in front of my eyes. "That's it!" Peter also saw a faint shadow, and we all became nervous.

"Prepare to lean over, slow down, and be careful of the reef." Ivan squinted and looked ahead.

Our kayak slowly passed through those hidden reefs, and got closer to the bottom of the cliff. Soon, we came to the side of the dilapidated wooden boat. At this time, the dense fog here has gradually receded. We You can clearly see the dark secret passageway above.We used flying claws to climb up one by one. The two kayaks were rowed back by the crew. At this time, the thick fog had almost dispersed. The crew would not get lost when they went back, and Zhao Xian also told him How to identify the direction.

"What do we do now?" Peter asked.At this time, a group of us were crowded at the entrance of this secret passage, which seemed a bit crowded.Ivan said: "Go, enter the secret room first." We came to George's secret room, and there were still those utensils in it, but when we came in again, the mood was a little different, and the things here were full of conspiracy.

"Elder Sars," Zeander said to us, "you stay here first, Hannah and I will go out to see the situation."

"Okay." Ivan nodded, "Be careful."

"Yes." Zeander and Hannah nodded, and they left carefully with their sabers.

"What kind of place is this? How does it look like a laboratory?" Zhao Di couldn't help muttering, and I replied, "This is indeed a laboratory." I briefly told them the situation here, but of course I didn't It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I don't think it's time to say it yet.

"Ivan, what should we do now?" Jerry asked Ivan, Ivan thought for a while, and glanced at Peter, Peter immediately understood, let one of the people who came with us go to guard outside the secret passage, and then Ivan Said to everyone: "Let's wait here for Hannah and Zeander to come back and see if there is any news. In addition, we must contact my father and the others. There are many tunnels in this city, some of which are sewage treatment underground tunnels, criss-crossing Yes, people can leave."

Ai Wen took out the map of Esataner while talking, and those sewers have been drawn, and said: "There is a passage under the tavern we went to before that connects to the one outside Zoela Castle. The opening under the bridge, maybe we can go in from here."

While discussing countermeasures, we waited for Hannah and Zeander to bring us news.At the same time, Tom is also actively resisting George's pressing step by step. All of them have gathered in the depths of the dense forest. Tom stands on the ancient well, and he looks full of indignation: "Everyone, we Chasing time, most of the people were rescued under George’s claws.” During the speech, all the people below cheered, but Tom raised his hand to signal the crowd to stop their joy, and continued with a slightly heavy expression: “But I, the Pope We were incompetent and did not reach out to help in time when the people were in crisis. Although we rushed to save more people, our people in Esatan were still killed by George thousands of people! This includes commoners, nobles, and even members of my royal family!"

The people below became heavy, and each of them had an ugly face. Among these people, there were those who had stood by Tom's side from the beginning, and those who had been rescued. They were all in the same mood at the moment. , the hatred in the heart is also the same goal.

The blood boils, only for this one square inch of common existence; the passion surges, only for killing the villain who destroys the faith in his heart.The distant homeland has long gone, but the new Runland has been defiled by people. When will this new land be peaceful, and when will the big stone in our hearts be let go?The sky is blue, surrounded by mist, you who are hidden in the heart of the sea, one day you will sleep peacefully, and will no longer be disturbed by the flames of war.
