Children Raised by Vampires [Western Fantasy]

"Not bad." Lan Yan put down her notebook and patted her head.

Anasta lowered her head and played with the bear doll, then suddenly threw herself on the table, picked up the quill, wrote a few words, and smiled sweetly at Lan Yan.

Lan Yan leaned over curiously, only to see the words, 'When I grow up, I want to marry the master' written on it.

"Uh, it's too early for you to say that, Anastas, you will definitely meet someone better than me when you grow up."

Anasta shook her head earnestly, and wrote 'Master is the best person' again.

"Anatas is the best little girl, the bravest little girl, and the prettiest little girl." Lan Yan said with a smile.He doesn't like children very much, but this little girl likes to be close to him for some reason.Of course, he also discovered that the little girl was not very popular among children, and he often saw her being bullied.

Her older brother, Dolly Boyle, told Lan Yan that she was not like this before. Anatas was lively and cheerful, loved to joke and had many friends, but since she stopped talking, they called her '' Dumb Anatas' and throwing stones at her.

Anasta also smiled, showing her gaped front teeth, and Lan Yan flicked her small forehead lightly. "Let's go, since you did your homework so well, it's time for me to give you some rewards. I remember we brought back some candies today. I can secretly get you a few. Don't tell others."

Anastas nodded and held out her little finger.Lan Yan also stretched out her little finger, hooked her fingers and pulled.

□□Aran’s tunnel is just under the Pope’s Palace. It is intricate, narrow and full of organs. It is said that it can accommodate more than [-] people to live in it. There are also storage rooms with various functions, underground water intakes, and upper and lower floors. And dozens of hidden entrances and exits, leading to many places in the city.Even if vampires enter it, it is difficult to display their skills. It is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Before evening, they prepared food on the ground, counted all supplies, and brought livestock and poultry. Before night fell, all humans disappeared from the ground, leaving only empty houses.

The authentic air is well ventilated, and the lights on the walls flicker gently.

Lan Yan led Anasta through the crowd and returned to her mother. For the convenience of guards, they all slept together in a relatively large hollow. Rest by the wall.

Because it is underground, the temperature here is quite low, and many people wrapped up in thin blankets.

"Go." Lan Yan patted Anasta's shoulder.

Anasta returned to her mother's arms, shook her hand at him, and wrote the words 'see you tomorrow' on the slate with a charcoal pencil.

"Thank you, master." Her mother Rhea saluted Lan Yan.

Lan Yan nodded lightly and said, "See you tomorrow."

Both Lan Yan and Noelle lived in a small room at the east entrance of this hollow, with two beds made of stone bricks inside.There are also simple furniture such as tables and chairs.When he went back, he found that Aphra was wearing Noelle's clothes, and she was still wearing the torn black cotton skirt (it was not so torn in the afternoon), her eyes were blue, her cheeks were red and swollen, The corners of his mouth were also broken, his hands and legs were covered with bloodstains, his hair had been cut, and his scalp was exposed in several places.Sitting on a chair sobbing, weeping.

"This is?" Lan Yan asked in surprise.

"I was beaten." Noelle sat on the stone bed, a man with a strong body, wearing a short shirt even in places where the temperature was low. "We have several people here that you rescued from Hexlett. They all know that she served vampires. Women beat her, men, men..."

After that, even if Noelle didn't say it, Lan Yan understood that Aphra must have been insulted by the men.Many of them sleep together as a family, so men and women are not separated.But most single women don't sleep in places where there are only men.

"She was dragged into the dark passage at the back, and I just brought someone over there to inspect it," Noelle said.

"Is the injury serious?" Lan Yan just wanted to touch her shoulder, but she flinched and made him withdraw his hand.

"We still have to find a way to accommodate her."

After thinking for a moment, Lan Yan said, "Let me arrange it."

"How do you arrange it?" Noelle asked.

"Come with me." Lan Yan said.

Lan Yan led them to the Boyle family sleeping in the Datong shop.

While everyone was awake, Rhea Boyle was playing with her daughter while her son was playing cards with the boys next to him.Seeing them coming, people made way for him to salute.

"Your Majesty, Master." Rhea saw Aphra, and stood up a little at a loss.

"Afra is injured, can you please take care of her?" Lan Yan said.

"This..." Rhea pinched the corner of her clothes in embarrassment.

Aphra started crying again, and everyone looked at her with indifference, contempt, disgust, and hatred...

"I, I didn't hurt anyone, I just because my sister was controlled by them, all I did was help them clean the room and run errands, I, I didn't hurt anyone..." She choked helplessly and defended .

"What difference does that make," one said. "When those vampires hurt us, you stood with them, and you were an accomplice."

"Traitor! Refuse to accept a traitor! Let her go back!" Another person shouted.

"I, I didn't, I didn't hurt anyone..." Aphra cried.

"Let her die, die, biao, bitch..."

"Go back and serve your noble master!"

Everyone's emotions were agitated.

"Get her out, she's not welcome here! Get her out! Get her out!"

One person took off his sock and threw it at Aphra, and the others followed suit, grabbing what was at hand and throwing it at her.Everyone's hatred seemed to eat her alive.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Lan Yan and the others rushed to take Afula away.

"Wait," cried good Rhea Boyle. "We are all people who have been hurt by vampires. We all have family members who have been killed by vampires. My husband, my father, mother, sisters and brothers were all killed by vampires. We should hate vampires, yes, but Afu La, it's human, we shouldn't take out our hatred of vampires on her."

"She has served vampires, she has stood with them, she is not a pure human being!" Someone immediately retorted.

"Traitor! Traitor!" someone shouted.

"She was threatened, and the vampire threatened her with her relatives," Rhea Boyle said. "If one day, our relatives are also arrested..."

"Then I wouldn't work for vampires," some said affirmatively.

The other part is silent, none of them can guarantee that one day they will not fall into the hands of the blood race, and if they fall into the hands of the blood race, how many people want their relatives to give up themselves?

After a while, the anger of the crowd subsided temporarily.

"Let her stay." Rhea held Afra's hand and said to Lan Yan. "I'll take care of her."

Lan Yan glanced at Noelle, seeing that he had no objection, she said, "Okay, if you have any questions, please tell me in time."

"Yes, sir," Rhea said.

It is impossible for them to find someone to protect Aphra. They have already spent all their energy dealing with the blood race, so they can only find someone to take Aphra into this place.

Rhea Boyle is a capable woman. Among all the bomb-makers in the workshop, the bombs she makes have the highest pass rate and the fastest speed.When they searched for supplies, they could always rescue humans imprisoned by vampires. The newcomers assigned to the workshop also learned the steps of making bombs through her teaching.

She is not bad-looking, with thick and thick chestnut hair on the sideburns, and her shabby clothes can't conceal her proud figure. She works neatly, has a generous personality, is careful and gentle with her children, and is rigorous and thoughtful with her work, whether she is a man or a woman. have a good reputation.

With her leading Aphra, Aphra quickly integrated into the collective of the workshop.At least, Lan Yan never saw any wounds on her body.

They have almost searched the villages and towns around the city of Orvieto. Noelle plans to enter the city next, but the houses in the city are dense, the roads are complicated, and most of them are stone houses. People cannot approach the houses at will, so they will A lot of bombs are needed.

Recently, the workshop has also been rushing to work day and night.

"It would be great if we can take the city of Orvieto before winter." They walked out of the workshop, Noelle said. "There must still be a lot of food in the city. Those vampires plundered most of the property and food when you first left and entered the city. There must be a lot of things we need inside."

"Didn't Afra say that they are also digging tunnels? If you want to attack the city, it's best to hurry up before the tunnels are dug. Also, Afra said that they started preparing for the tunnel before she left. Let her draw A map, where the vampires are denser, and the underground palace, where is the underground palace built in the Pergata Palace."

"I'll call her out alone to ask questions later." Lan Yan said. "It's only two months before winter, and we have to search for more supplies as soon as possible to survive this winter. Otherwise, we have to reduce the rationing."

Noelle nodded.

It's just that it has been rainy for the past few days, and they can only stay in the tunnel, and their hearts are becoming more and more anxious.

Little Anasta drew a picture for Lan Yan, in which she was holding Lan Yan's hand, wearing a skirt and a veil.She has just learned to draw, and her drawing skills are very clumsy. At first, Lan Yan thought she was painting her and her mother, because she drew Lan Yan with long hair, and those simple lines put together a person. How can you tell the difference between a man and a woman?

"This is me." She wrote proudly on the slate.

"Oh, draw yourself so beautiful, and draw me so ugly?" Lan Yan said intentionally.

"I'm a bride, of course I have to paint beautifully!"

The child's innocent appearance made Lan Yan laugh out loud.He remembered that when he was a child, he also said that he wanted to marry the nanny who took care of him as his wife.They don't understand the meaning of marriage at all. They probably just feel that the other person treats them well, is not a bad person, or likes his appearance, so they speak pure and sincere words without restraint.

The emptiness in his spare time always reminded him of Winster. He was very grateful to this little girl, and fortunately she liked him so much and liked being by his side so much.

"Shall I draw you a more beautiful picture? Okay?" Lan Yan pinched her soft cheeks, and looked into her big eyes.

"Okay, then wait, I'm going to change into a nice dress and find a nice hat!" The little girl wrote on the slate, and then ran out of the room in a skip.

Lan Yan followed her out of the room.

It's daytime now, it's raining outside, and everyone can't go out, but those who should patrol should go to patrol, and the women in the workshop have also gone to work in the authentic workshop.Even so, in the hollow where everyone gathered, since there are many people chatting and having fun.In the past, when the weather was fine, they would go out with weapons to search for supplies.

There are four entrances to this cavity, and these four entrances can lead to many places, one of which is a passage leading to the top of the head, which is very complicated, and those who are not familiar with it can only turn around here.

When Lan Yan followed Anasta out, she happened to see Afra coming in from an entrance, so she greeted her.

Aphra hurriedly lowered her head and saluted him.

"At this time, shouldn't you be in the workshop?" Lan Yan asked.

"I...I..." Aphra clasped her hands, her eyes dodged, her face was distressed, and her expression was tense.

"Oh, oh." Lan Yan patted herself on the head, everyone was crowded together, it must be that the toilet at the workshop was full, so she came here.Aphra was still a girl, and she would definitely feel embarrassed if he asked this question from a man. "I see, let's go." He waved his hand.

"Master, I just..." Afra said in a panic.

"What's the matter? It's okay, you go, I just asked." Lan Yan looked at her strangely, but her eyes dodged and did not meet his gaze.

Aphra hurriedly saluted and walked away quickly.

Lan Yan looked at her leaving back, her eyes fell on her wet shoes and the hem of her skirt...

Is there a water leak somewhere in the tunnel?Or is this girl so careless when she goes to the toilet?

He has always been kind to people, unless he is deliberate, he doesn't have a heart, so how can he think too much.

It happened that Anasta had changed her skirt, ran to his side, dragged him to his room impatiently.

"Who changed it for you?" Lan Yan asked.

Anasta wrote 'brother' on the slate.

Lan Yan patted her head.
