Sir Aven I Blood Pact
Chapter 9 Chapter 3 Bait, Mercury Gate, Intelligence
With that little tooth tied to my hand, I walked towards those batters step by step. I don't know why Sessimon asked me to lure those things away. What ability does this little tooth have?However, when I walked through the stone crevice we were going to enter, those Baites flapped their wings and flew down towards me. I followed what Susimon said, and stayed put a few meters away from the stone crevice. surround me by them.Those baites flew around me again and again, and from time to time, baites approached me, as if they were sniffing my body, so as to confirm whether I was an enemy or a friend.
This kind of bat is really not the kind of bat I know, they are bigger and look very fleshy (I don't know why I have such an idea), and their wings are bigger than the largest bat wings It is more than twice as wide, and there are sharp claws on the wings, and their heads don't look like pig faces like ordinary bats, but look more like cat faces-this is the one that I recognize. Knowing the subversive reality.
Standing there quietly, I saw the three of Aiwen approaching the crevice quietly. They walked carefully along the edge of the rock and moved towards the crevice.When I saw that they entered the rock crevice smoothly, my heart was at a loss, because after a while, they didn't come out again after entering, and I wondered if they would just put me here?
When I was thinking about it, the Bytes gradually flew back to their habitat.When the last one left me and flew back, I turned my head and saw Aiwen with half of his face showing through the crack in the stone.I turned my head to look at those Baites, and after confirming that they would not be suspicious of me for the time being, I quickly turned around and bent over and quickly cated into the crevice of the stone.
Seen from the outside, the crack in the rock is very small, but when you get closer, you realize that it is really only big enough for one person to walk in and out sideways. It is very dark inside, and you can't see your five fingers at all within ten steps, as if the scorching light from the outside They were all blocked outside in an instant, and I tried to call their names in the dark: "Ivan? Aemon? Xeander?"
Suddenly a hand grabbed my wrist, and Ivan whispered in my ear: "Shh, we are all here." After getting used to the darkness, I saw a pair of green eyes flashing in front of me. "Let's go." Hearing the voice, I knew that the eyes belonged to Sessimon.
I looked back at the other two, Ivan and Sessimon's eyes were green, but Xander was blue-purple, which is quite strange.Aiwen pulled me to walk behind Seth Imon, and I couldn't see anything except their eyes.After this incident, I asked Aiwen why the eyes of the three of them had two kinds of light in the dark. Aiwen explained to me that it was because neither he nor Sass Emond was a pure blood vampire. In Elsatan, the eyes of pure-blood vampires are blue-purple in the dark, while the eyes of non-pure-blood vampires are green, in fact, the green is more blue.
Besides, we have been walking in the dark for about ten minutes, but we have not stopped. I am surprised that this stone crack is so long. Just when I was wondering why this road is so long, suddenly I bumped into Ivan in front: "Is it there?"
"En." Ivan said softly.
I only heard a few popping sounds, similar to the sound of a lighter, and then the darkness suddenly lit up, and my eyes closed for a while, and when I opened them again, unexpectedly, we I was already standing in a stone room about ten square meters in size, and then I saw a stone door that was opened. In the middle of the door was a curtain like mercury, and the stone lamps on both sides of the door were lit. set fire.
"This is?" I wondered if I had stepped into some adventurous magic movie.
"This gate is the gate leading to Elsatan. It was spelled at the beginning of the city's construction, and it can only be passed through in a specific way. Otherwise, as long as it is touched, it will be wiped out." Sass Yimon stood Said in front of the stone gate.
"Walking through it?" I looked at the mercury-like wriggling thing and asked a little suspiciously.
"Yes." Seth Imon took out a very old pocket watch from his bag. I could see that there were no needles on the watch, but Seth Imon seemed to know the time displayed on the watch. After looking at it, he put it back in the bag and said, "There are still eight seconds."
eight seconds?What?I was about to ask, but they all seemed to know what was going to happen next, and they didn't speak any more, and Seth Yimon stood facing the door.I followed them, staring at the quicksilver door, and within a second, the quicksilver door was slowly circling from the middle like water ripples and spreading outward, Sess Imon counted Countdown: "Three, two, one, go!"
As soon as I counted to one, Seth Imon took the lead and disappeared into the door, and then, Aiwen pulled me in and followed.I didn't know what was on the opposite side, so I could only close my eyes the moment I stepped into the door, and both hands held Ivan's hand tightly.
It's hard to describe in detail the feeling I felt when I walked through that door. I only remember the most impressive word is 'space', yes, it's like walking in space, with both feet completely off the ground, which makes people feel a little 'lightweight' 'of.
When I felt the presence of the ground, I wanted to open my eyes, but Aiwen said in my ear: "Xiao, don't open your eyes." Then, I felt Aiwen take me for a while.I couldn't hear any other sounds, and the surroundings seemed very quiet, only the sound of us walking, and the feeling from my feet told me that we should be walking on a grassy field or a path in the woods.Then a sharp cry broke the silence in my ears. I suspected it was the cry of a bird, but it didn't feel like a bird cry. It seemed like a chicken cry mixed with a bird cry. There were several roars that sounded like wild animals.
Afterwards, Aiwen said: "Okay, Xiao, open your eyes." I opened my eyes, and what I saw was a forest, but these trees were not the kind of trees I knew. There are no scriptures, some have flowers and no leaves, some are entangled with each other, all kinds of strange shapes, and this forest is even more peculiar, the whole forest presents a blue-purple hue, which seems a bit like Zeander's Eye color, but the color here is darker than his eye color.Standing in such an environment, I unconsciously felt a bit of cold, and then looked up at the sky above my head, it seemed to be cloudy, and it should rain at any time.And the color of the sky is actually the opposite of the tone of the forest, with some faint red, which is a very strange thing.
"Did you hear the cry just now?" Ivan asked me.
"Yes, I heard." I nodded, "What is that?"
"That's a blinding bird." Ivan said, "We walked past it just now. The bird's voice is nothing, but the light it emits can blind your eyes, so I told you not to open your eyes."
"Then you also closed your eyes?" I looked at Aiwen and Xander, but Seth Aemon was not around us at this time. It seems that he probably left to do something.
"We don't. The dazzling bird has no effect on my people. It is just used to guard against outsiders." Ivan said with a smile. "You're a human being, and you can't stand the light from that bird." Susimon's voice came from behind.I looked back at him, and at the same time saw another person standing beside him.The man was hunched over, holding an unlit oil lamp in his hand, his face was suppressed by a big black cloak and hat, and he couldn't see what he looked like.
Seeing that I was looking at that person, Sassimon simply introduced: "Aiwen, Mr. Tuo is here." The man who came took off his hat, and it turned out that it was an old man who looked just like a normal man. Like an old man, with wrinkled face, he is leaning on a wooden crutch with an old unlit oil lamp hanging on it in one hand, and his hand on the crutch is as dry as a tree branch, lifeless .His figure is stooped, and his feet stand at different heights, it seems that his left foot is a little strange.
As soon as the old man saw Ai Wen, he immediately knelt down towards Ai Wen with tears in his eyes. His hands and feet were inconvenient, and his kneeling posture was a little strange and strange. With a look of guilt, he immediately felt sorry, and quickly stretched out his hand to help him, and said, "Old Tuo, I'm sorry, because of me, you have been punished so cruelly, I..." Ai Wen didn't finish speaking , Tuo Lao said: "Master! You don't need to say much, the loyalty of the young one to the master is a lesson from heaven, no matter how others punish the young one, the young one will have no complaints or regrets, so the young master does not have to feel guilty. Now seeing the young master come back again, I don't know how happy I am, when His Royal Highness Hadley came to look for me, I was ready to risk my life for the Layden family at any time."
When the old man spoke, his eyes were very bright. It was an unswerving affirmation of his own words. It seemed that the old man was extremely loyal to Ai Wen and his family. (The conversation between the two of them was in the language of the vampire family. At that time, I didn't understand a word. I just guessed what they said.)
"Tuo Lao, Ai Wen," Sess Imon interrupted Tuo Lao, "the time for the guards to change shifts is almost over, we can't stay here any longer. Find a place to talk about it first."
"Okay, go to the little one, no one will go there." Tuo Lao's face was full of sadness and joy.Sas Yimeng talked to Mr. Tuo in English, and Mr. Tuo actually answered him in English, which surprised me a bit. This Mr. Tuo can also speak English?Later, when Ai Wen told me about Mr. Tuo, I realized that when Ai Wen was learning English with his mother, Mr. Tuo had always been by his side, and because of this, Mr. Tuo also learned English.
The place where Tuo Lao lived was a dilapidated small house located deep in the forest.The house is not big, but there is a small attic with open windows. It is a very traditional wood and stone house. The old vines are wrapped around the mottled wall tiles. The gray wall tiles reveal the vicissitudes of the years and the remnants of the war. Mark of.
Tuo Lao led us, stepped forward and gently opened the old wooden door. As Tuo Lao said, no one would come here, and therefore, his door did not have any locks installed.I am a little curious about the past of this Tuo Lao. What caused him to be in his current state?
In a fireplace made of randomly piled stones, Tuo Lao used the oldest method to light wood, a wooden table made of a tree trunk split in half, a few simple chairs, and some hunting Animal skins, bows and arrows for hunting, and some scattered daily necessities, it seemed so crowded in this room of about twenty or thirty square meters.After entering the door, there is a revolving wooden ladder in front of the right hand. It seems that there should be a bedroom above, which should be the room where the small window seen from the outside is located.What to say about the kitchen and bathroom, it seems that there is not much use here, there is only a dilapidated iron pan hanging in the fireplace, and there are some bottles and cans on the fireplace, so it is already a kitchen.
Aiwen and the others don't seem to mind such a simple environment at all. It stands to reason that they are all nobles, and Tuo Lao's place can be said to be a slum, but I can't find any look of disgust on their faces.I think this is probably the rare affinity of nobles?Or a kind of equality.
The few of us sat down in front of the wooden table. Only then did I feel that the room was warmer than the outside, and it seemed that there was a drizzle outside the window.The enthusiastic Tuo poured a cup of hot tea for each of us, and I felt much warmer after taking the first sip.
Sasimon asked Tuo Lao: "What is the current situation in Essatan?"
"Your Highness has already inquired clearly about what your Highness ordered." Tuo Lao said, "Now Essatan has been divided into two factions. The first faction is the pure-blood noble faction attached to Master Rodolph. They advocate the blood race. People must be of pure blood in order to continue the blood of our family. After Master Rodolphe took the Pope, he reorganized the Knights and Guards. He was arrested in the prison of the Tower of Judgment. Right now, the whole of Essatan is in an indescribable atmosphere, and those who are not pure-blooded live in fear every day. People like Master Rodolphe, sooner or later God will take care of him!"
When Tuo Lao spoke, he always revealed his dissatisfaction and indignation towards Anwar, and the cup he held in his hand was squeezed tightly by him, as if he was about to cut off Anwar's neck.Although Tuo Lao kept saying that Anwar was wrong, he always addressed Anwar as Master Rodolph. It can be seen that Tuo Lao, who has been a servant all his life, still attaches great importance to the hierarchy of master and servant.
"What about the other faction?" Ivan asked.
"The other faction is the clansmen who oppose Master Rodolph. They spontaneously formed an underground team - the anti-vatar team. Among those people are both non-pure blood clansmen and pure blood clansmen. They are basically all They didn’t agree with what Master Rodolph did, so they turned against each other.” Tuo Lao said, “They are hiding in some secret places in Essatan, waiting for the opportunity. Everyone is waiting for you to come back, Master, and together overthrow Master Anwar It has been 200 years, and everyone will be very happy if they know the news of your return, young master." When Mr. Tuo was speaking, he couldn't restrain his inner joy, and even shed old tears again. The intact hand wiped his cheek casually, and then suddenly felt that he had lost his composure in front of the master, so he turned around to clean up his emotions.
"Then who is leading the anti-vatar team now?" Sassimon asked when he saw that he had put away his tears.
"Master Mellon." Tuo Lao said simply.
"Melon?!" Hearing this name, Ivan and Sass Imon couldn't help being astonished. Their expressions could be said to be as if they saw something extraordinary.On the other hand, Zeander was in a daze, as if he didn't know this person named Mellon.
"Who?" When I heard this name, my first reaction was that it sounded familiar.
The astonished expressions of the two people turned into confusion and surprise in an instant.Ai Wen seemed to be forcing himself to recover from the astonishment, and said to me: "Xiao, do you still remember that I mentioned to you my aunt Esmeron Ide Lai at Ed's place before?" Deng?"
"Well, I remember." Now that I think about it, it turned out to be this name, but it seems to have been heard somewhere.
"This Mellon, the full name is 'Casiyazi Mellon Lyden'." Ai Wen said, "He is my aunt's son. When my aunt died, she begged my father to take out the meat in her stomach. My child, that is Mellon. But this child does not possess any of my blood's own abilities except for longevity, so my father thinks that he cannot stay in the outside world. His long life is bound to attract the attention of the outside world, so my father sent him Sent to live in the sanctuary, and Mellon has been living in the sanctuary since then, never coming out."
"So," Sass Imon said following Aiwen's words, "we are curious, how did Mellon come back from here? As far as I know, only Aiwen's father and Aiwen know the way to open the sanctuary. Even Mellon himself doesn't know how to open the gate of the sanctuary, let alone get out of it."
"Sanctuary? What is that place?" I then asked.
"I'll tell you this later." Aiwen seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic of the sanctuary, and immediately changed the subject, "Tuo Lao, can I contact Mellon?"
"It should be possible." Tuo Lao replied, "The little ones can find their contacts."
"Okay," Ai Wen stood up and said, "Old Tuo, I'm going to trouble you again, be careful, I want to see Mellon."
"Yes, young master." Tuo Lao was about to stand up after speaking.
"Also," after Seth Imon said the 'other', he was quiet for a long time before he said, "Tell the contact person, just say—Elder Salth is back."
It’s not hard to imagine why Aiwen wants to see Mellon. The first one is how Imon came back from the sanctuary. I think Ivan and Sassimon both want to know this question. Answer.Second, I think he still loves this younger brother. I think of the gentle expression of Aiwen when he looked at his aunt's photo when he was at Ed's house. It can be seen that Aiwen likes this aunt very much. Maybe Aiwen Wen wanted to see Mellon to make sure he was safe.And thirdly, Sasimon's explanation to Tuo Lao must be to announce to the outside world, let Anwar know that Aiwen has returned, this is probably the 36 plan to knock the mountain and shake the tiger.
The only attic bedroom in Tuo's old house was reserved for me, an ordinary human being, but I was lying on the bed, looking at the wooden roof. The kind of reddish light, on the contrary, it is a kind of faint green light. I tried to look out of the window, but I couldn't find anything like the moon hanging in the sky, which made me very happy. I am very curious where this faint green light is projected from?
I have always been a person who does not suffer from insomnia, but I feel that I will definitely suffer from insomnia tonight.
After thinking about it on the bed, he still couldn't fall asleep, so he got up, wrapped himself in a thin blanket, and climbed down from the attic.At this time, there was only Aiwen alone in front of the fireplace in the house. He sat directly on the animal fur hanging on the ground, holding an unknown book in his hand, and I knew that his thoughts were definitely not on that book. , because I stood at the stairs, looked at it for a while, and found that the book was upside down.
"Why can't you sleep?" Ivan said suddenly, but he didn't turn his face to look at me.
"I..." I took off the blanket on my body and walked over, saying, "If you can't sleep, I'll bring you a blanket." I covered him with the blanket.
Aiwen pulled the blanket obediently, smiled at me and said, "Do you recognize the bed? Can't sleep?"
"No." I shook my head, sat down beside him, stretched out my hand and turned back the book in his hand. By the way, I read it. The title of the book was "Big Child", "The book took you upside down."
"Oh." Ivan smiled, closed the book, and put it on his lap, "Forget it, I don't read it anyway."
"Where did Aemon and Xander go?" I looked around. After we finished talking about some things just now, the two of them went out, and they haven't come back yet.
"Oh, I'll let them go out to do something." He turned around and smiled at me, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to him."
Hell, I didn't ask because I was worried, I couldn't help giving Ai Wen a blank look in my heart.Sometimes I feel that Aiwen seems to understand me very well, but sometimes I actually feel that Aiwen is far away from me.Seeing Aiwen's smiling face, I hesitated to speak. To be honest, I always feel that the relationship between him and Aemon is very unusual, and it cannot be explained by the definition of a friend. Maybe it can be described as a life and death friendship. Neither is impossible.And that Zeander is by no means a simple master-servant relationship, otherwise how could he be able to guard his master for 200 years?
Everyone has their own past, maybe there will be another person in this past, and his existence makes your past very unforgettable.We can't change the past that has become a reality. In the long river of history, once it happens, we can't go back and change any link.All we can do now is to put that period of the past in the deepest part of the memory palace, until one day, we will open them again and review them again.
I don't want to force anyone to say what I want to know. For me, making friends is the most important point between hearts and hearts.It's like a contract that closely connects you and his heart. It's also like a pair of twins. Even if you don't say it, the two can clearly know what the other is thinking.
This kind of bat is really not the kind of bat I know, they are bigger and look very fleshy (I don't know why I have such an idea), and their wings are bigger than the largest bat wings It is more than twice as wide, and there are sharp claws on the wings, and their heads don't look like pig faces like ordinary bats, but look more like cat faces-this is the one that I recognize. Knowing the subversive reality.
Standing there quietly, I saw the three of Aiwen approaching the crevice quietly. They walked carefully along the edge of the rock and moved towards the crevice.When I saw that they entered the rock crevice smoothly, my heart was at a loss, because after a while, they didn't come out again after entering, and I wondered if they would just put me here?

It seems that there should be a bedroom above, which should be the room where the small window seen from the outside is located.What to say about the kitchen and bathroom, it seems that there is not much use here, there is only a dilapidated iron pan hanging in the fireplace, and there are some bottles and cans on the fireplace, so it is already a kitchen.

The intact hand wiped his cheek casually, and then suddenly felt that he had lost his composure in front of the master, so he turned around to clean up his emotions.
"Then who is leading the anti-vatar team now?" Sassimon asked when he saw that he had put away his tears.
"Master Mellon." Tuo Lao said simply.
"Melon?!" Hearing this name, Ivan and Sass Imon couldn't help being astonished. Their expressions could be said to be as if they saw something extraordinary.On the other hand, Zeander was in a daze, as if he didn't know this person named Mellon.
"Who?" When I heard this name, my first reaction was that it sounded familiar.
The astonished expressions of the two people turned into confusion and surprise in an instant.Ai Wen seemed to be forcing himself to recover from the astonishment, and said to me: "Xiao, do you still remember that I mentioned to you my aunt Esmeron Ide Lai at Ed's place before?" Deng?"
"Well, I remember." Now that I think about it, it turned out to be this name, but it seems to have been heard somewhere.
"This Mellon, the full name is 'Casiyazi Mellon Lyden'." Ai Wen said, "He is my aunt's son. When my aunt died, she begged my father to take out the meat in her stomach. My child, that is Mellon. But this child does not possess any of my blood's own abilities except for longevity, so my father thinks that he cannot stay in the outside world. His long life is bound to attract the attention of the outside world, so my father sent him Sent to live in the sanctuary, and Mellon has been living in the sanctuary since then, never coming out."
"So," Sass Imon said following Aiwen's words, "we are curious, how did Mellon come back from here? As far as I know, only Aiwen's father and Aiwen know the way to open the sanctuary. Even Mellon himself doesn't know how to open the gate of the sanctuary, let alone get out of it."
"Sanctuary? What is that place?" I then asked.
"I'll tell you this later." Aiwen seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic of the sanctuary, and immediately changed the subject, "Tuo Lao, can I contact Mellon?"
"It should be possible." Tuo Lao replied, "The little ones can find their contacts."
"Okay," Ai Wen stood up and said, "Old Tuo, I'm going to trouble you again, be careful, I want to see Mellon."
"Yes, young master." Tuo Lao was about to stand up after speaking.
"Also," after Seth Imon said the 'other', he was quiet for a long time before he said, "Tell the contact person, just say—Elder Salth is back."
It’s not hard to imagine why Aiwen wants to see Mellon. The first one is how Imon came back from the sanctuary. I think Ivan and Sassimon both want to know this question. Answer.Second, I think he still loves this younger brother. I think of the gentle expression of Aiwen when he looked at his aunt's photo when he was at Ed's house. It can be seen that Aiwen likes this aunt very much. Maybe Aiwen Wen wanted to see Mellon to make sure he was safe.And thirdly, Sasimon's explanation to Tuo Lao must be to announce to the outside world, let Anwar know that Aiwen has returned, this is probably the 36 plan to knock the mountain and shake the tiger.
The only attic bedroom in Tuo's old house was reserved for me, an ordinary human being, but I was lying on the bed, looking at the wooden roof. The kind of reddish light, on the contrary, it is a kind of faint green light. I tried to look out of the window, but I couldn't find anything like the moon hanging in the sky, which made me very happy. I am very curious where this faint green light is projected from?
I have always been a person who does not suffer from insomnia, but I feel that I will definitely suffer from insomnia tonight.
After thinking about it on the bed, he still couldn't fall asleep, so he got up, wrapped himself in a thin blanket, and climbed down from the attic.At this time, there was only Aiwen alone in front of the fireplace in the house. He sat directly on the animal fur hanging on the ground, holding an unknown book in his hand, and I knew that his thoughts were definitely not on that book. , because I stood at the stairs, looked at it for a while, and found that the book was upside down.
"Why can't you sleep?" Ivan said suddenly, but he didn't turn his face to look at me.
"I..." I took off the blanket on my body and walked over, saying, "If you can't sleep, I'll bring you a blanket." I covered him with the blanket.
Aiwen pulled the blanket obediently, smiled at me and said, "Do you recognize the bed? Can't sleep?"
"No." I shook my head, sat down beside him, stretched out my hand and turned back the book in his hand. By the way, I read it. The title of the book was "Big Child", "The book took you upside down."
"Oh." Ivan smiled, closed the book, and put it on his lap, "Forget it, I don't read it anyway."
"Where did Aemon and Xander go?" I looked around. After we finished talking about some things just now, the two of them went out, and they haven't come back yet.
"Oh, I'll let them go out to do something." He turned around and smiled at me, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to him."
Hell, I didn't ask because I was worried, I couldn't help giving Ai Wen a blank look in my heart.Sometimes I feel that Aiwen seems to understand me very well, but sometimes I actually feel that Aiwen is far away from me.Seeing Aiwen's smiling face, I hesitated to speak. To be honest, I always feel that the relationship between him and Aemon is very unusual, and it cannot be explained by the definition of a friend. Maybe it can be described as a life and death friendship. Neither is impossible.And that Zeander is by no means a simple master-servant relationship, otherwise how could he be able to guard his master for 200 years?
Everyone has their own past, maybe there will be another person in this past, and his existence makes your past very unforgettable.We can't change the past that has become a reality. In the long river of history, once it happens, we can't go back and change any link.All we can do now is to put that period of the past in the deepest part of the memory palace, until one day, we will open them again and review them again.
I don't want to force anyone to say what I want to know. For me, making friends is the most important point between hearts and hearts.It's like a contract that closely connects you and his heart. It's also like a pair of twins. Even if you don't say it, the two can clearly know what the other is thinking.
