[Blood] Shura's Castle
Chapter 8? ——Whether everything you have been convinced is a lie in the end.
It's called Lord Duke, I have never had a name.I have status, money, and what they call noble blood and spiritual power, but I have never had an existence that belongs to me, even though I have lived longer than any dynasty, so give me a name. "
"Okay, what kind of name do you want?" Leng Xing replied, feeling inexplicably sour in his heart.
"As long as you started it, it's fine."
"What do you think?"
Unknowingly, Leng Xing stopped.Hearing the Duke's soft voice, she looked up and saw her shining eyes, and the skyscrapers behind the Duke shrouded in night and lights. "
"I just remembered the night you confessed your love."
"It's each other." The person opposite corrected.
"Your name, I've thought about it for a long time..."
"Have you thought about it now?" She, who had never seen her like a child, was eager, her eyes were shining brightly, just like a child seeing candy.
"Ah."
"What is it?"
"Qian Xiyue. Thousands are thousands of thousands, Xi is the tide of a sunset beside the three o'clock water, and the moon is the moon of moonlight."
"Well, Qian... Xi... Yue." She recited slowly, the expression on her face blurred in the darkness.
Near the skyscrapers is a cable-stayed bridge extending to the opposite bank, and under the bridge is a wide river, flowing quietly.And the waves of the river rippling like the sea's undulating thousands of tides, reflecting the deserted light emitted by the silver moon on the zenith. [5]

Regarding the terminology of economics, I heard it from an elective course. Because the research is not deep, I used Baidu's explanation, which is roughly consistent with what the teacher said.
I've been watching Mondaymorning recently, it's so beautiful! ! !can not stop!
It's unbelievable, I just wrote [Contour Nipples/Tips] (with taste buds, you can feel the taste), and the word "Nipples/Tips" is harmonized, mygod! Merlin's beard!
This section of Kawen is very stuck, and it turns out that the transition is the most difficult to write.
Chapter 54 Moonlight (Part [-])
Thousands of tidal waters, reflecting the moonlight.
- Leng Xing
Thousand—tide—moon—
Thousands of tidal waters, reflecting the moonlight.
"Don't you like it?" Looking at the duke's blurred face in the dark, Leng Xing asked in a low voice, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
"No, I like it very much." She shook her head and interrupted, with a gentle and firm tone, "I'm just so happy that I finally have my own existence, and you gave it to me. I like any name, as long as What you gave me is the best."
The two stood under the skyscrapers, overlooking the river of lights in the city.
"When I saw you for the first time, the first thing I thought of was—how could there be such a beautiful person in this world, and the second thing was that you were seriously injured." Leng Xing brushed his wind-torn hair, "It's just... "
"It's just that I'm not a human being." The Duke showed a slight smile, "It's finally confirmed because I told you that I don't have a name."
"But why?"
"My father only said that there is no name in the world worthy of me, but he doesn't know..." The Duke lowered his eyes slightly, "What I need is not a superior status, as if 'nothing is worthy' Fuck me', but—truly me."
She hugged Leng Xing's shoulders.
"However, with so much I have, there seems to be no reason to say that I am unhappy, right? It's like 'sorry for new words', but I am not like that...emotional, and even, for many years, I have not experienced any Emotions. Numb, cold, as I said every day, to be a vital part of the military machine, to be the perfect Duke of Rose in the eyes of the Vanjo people. I am used to it, every day, as long as I can... alive. Although There are so many, but I am fighting for survival every minute and every second. The world of vampires is more cruel than that of humans, there is no such thing as helping the weak, only..."
"Blood is power, and power is power. You said it."
Leng Xing had never heard the Duke speak so much at once. Even when she got into a quarrel, she kept her words as concise as possible, as if words were a resource, and if they were used up early, they would be gone.
"But I never felt that there was anything wrong with it. This is my life, just like you..." She spread her hands, "Go to class, eat, go to class, eat, do homework, work or play, almost classrooms, cafeterias, dormitories Three points and one line... nothing will change, and you won't find anything unreasonable. Yes, that's all."
Without discussing where to go or thinking, the two walked out of the gate of the group and walked slowly along the sparkling river.Although it is winter, the temperature is not very low. You can still see part of the river flowing, reflecting the city at night, even though the river near the river bank is covered with a thin layer of ice.
Leng Xing didn't ask the Duke where he was going, and the Duke seemed to have forgotten the coup and conspiracy that had been bothering her.Just walking by the river, she is carrying the cake, she is holding her arm, there is no racial confrontation between humans and blood races, no conspiracy entanglement, just like ordinary couples, happy and simple.
Leng Xing never saw the Duke being so emotional.Even when the Duke hugged her and said "I love you too", she could feel another soul in the Duke's body pulling away from the sky, looking coldly at them hugging them.It's like - her saying "I love you too" is just a reply to her "I love you", like "You're welcome" is to "Thank you", "It's okay" is to "I'm sorry".
"It wasn't until... you asked that question, your name, that I realized that all along, what I have never had is something that any ordinary human being or blood race has." She glanced down at the cake in her hand , "For example, sincere liking, such as a name, although it is unique, it is very simple."
"Qian Xiyue..."
"Leng Xing, thank you."
She stopped and faced Leng Xing who wanted to comfort her.The flowing river, the stretching bridge, the lights on the other side and the uneven buildings, and the moon above... those extremely ordinary things, those scenery that I have never glanced at in countless working nights, and the roses in front of her eyes Duke Qian Xiyue blended together, unexpectedly looking so beautiful, as if everything was shining.
Leng Xing took out his phone.
The Duke looked at her slightly astonished.
"Take a picture."
She raised her phone and pressed the shutter on the Duke.Even if it was frozen into a picture, she could strongly feel that there was a flowing light in the Duke's eyes, as if there was life.
"Look~ isn't it beautiful~"
The Duke shook his head.
She took out her mobile phone and said lightly, "Together."
Leng Xing took her mobile phone as promised, and took the first photo of the two of them together.
"You never used a camera!"
"It's not necessary." She let go of Leng Xing's hand and changed to holding hands, "The photo is for recording, but for me... there is nothing worth recording. Leng Xing, you know, the time I have experienced So long, so long that nothing makes sense."
"Because of this, shouldn't you write down something? In order not to forget."
"So I recorded you~" She smiled, and took a picture of Leng Xing, the flashlight illuminated the face of the opposite person, "Actually, you don't know, when you asked me for my mobile phone number, I didn't have a mobile phone number at all. It should be said that I don’t have a mobile phone at all.”
"It's also... no name, no ID card, and probably no mobile phone number. I didn't think of it at the time."
"I kind of liked you, right then."
"Because of what?"
"Blood." The Duke answered truthfully.
"It's the same as I guessed. In fact, I liked you a little bit at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have asked for a mobile phone number. It should be because I like you, and I want to be friends or something..." Leng Xing sorted out his thoughts, "But it's not limited to this. In short, Want to have an intersection."
"Because of what?"
"I told you not to be angry."
"Go ahead."
"appearance."
"It's not surprising." The Duke responded after a few seconds, "Remember I told you that even those who hate me cannot resist my charm."
Anyone who dares to say this will surely be considered a narcissist.But... Looking at the Duke's incomparably exquisite face, she must admit that what the Duke said was correct.
"So it's not surprising that your answer is this. Although, honey, you don't seem like me."
"Like you what?"
"Focus on appearance."
"Everyone has the love of beauty. Looking at beautiful women every day is also very pleasing to the eye, and it can also make you feel good, prolong your life, and benefit your health."
Leng Xing smiled playfully.
"However, why did you buy a mobile phone later? Because... me?"
"Well. You're special. I like unique things."
"I'm not a 'thing'! I'm a person!"
Leng Xing emphasized, but suddenly realized that he had scolded himself.
"It makes no difference to me."
"Is it especially because of the blood?" She felt a faint sense of loss in her heart.
"Not all." The Duke took out something, "Leng Xing, the day I was assassinated was not the first time we met."
"what?"
"It's the third time."
She tied a silver ribbon around Leng Xing's wrist, covering the shallow scar left more than ten days ago.
Leng Xing paused, staring at the ribbon in a daze.
"It's my ribbon! Why is it in your place?"
"You ran too fast that night."
"That is to say... everything I saw that night was real! You are flying in the sky!"
"Well, that's right."
"Why didn't you return it to me when you got it?"
"I can't." She stroked Leng Xing's hair, "If I give it back to you, how can I explain all this to me? 'Oh, I was flying in the sky that night, and I saw your things fall~I'm a vampire~' you Do you think it's possible?"
The Duke rolled his eyes and taught in a high-pitched voice.
"And after that? When I already know your identity? It is very important to me!"
"It is very important to you?" the Duke repeated with a half-smile.
"Yes, it was given to me by a very important person! Wait..."
"The day I was assassinated was not the first time we met."
"It's the third time."
In other words, the Duke has met her before, and she actually has...
Is she missing something?
"Who is drawing this time?"
"Guess~~~"
"I don't know." She yawned, "Go to sleep, I'm so sleepy."
"Do not you know?"
The picture is a corner of the park, on a wooden bench——
The sitting girl with long hair is leaning forward, lowering her head to the little girl standing in front of her.
The little girl was very cute, she looked only seven or eight years old, she smiled sweetly, with small dimples at the corners of her mouth.
The long-haired girl is tying something around the wrist of the girl in front of her. If you look carefully, you will find that it is a ribbon embroidered with exquisite patterns, made of expensive materials, and inlaid with precious stones.
The sun hit the girl's face, half of her face was white and almost transparent under the sunlight, while the other half was hidden in the shadows, her deep eyes were fixed on the girl, and the wind whizzed past, blowing the long satin The belt was blown up and fluttered in the air, like a free elf.
In an extremely familiar scene in memory, the Duke in front of her tied a ribbon on her wrist with the same gesture, and even the position was the same.
And that painting... It's a complete reenactment of the scene from ten years ago!
How could she know that person?The person who agreed with her whimsical ideas, agreed with her, and left a token on her wrist... The girl on the bench, sitting in the park, with sapphire-like eyes, the lonely light fell on the void in the distance.
Unless, she is that person!
"Pretty sister, can I be with you?"
The girl looked down at her, smiled lightly, showing her snow-white teeth: "Let's talk about it when you grow up."
"But, then how can I find you?" She stretched out her small hand and tugged at her sleeve, her eyes were brighter than obsidian.
With cold fingers, he gently tied a beautifully patterned ribbon on her wrist.
"That's it, it's fine~ I'll find you."
Under the sun, her face was so white that it was almost transparent, and her lips were bright red like roses in full bloom.Every move is full of aristocratic elegance, too beautiful to be real, so...
Only then will he be attracted, and ask expectantly: "Can I be with you?"
Not being friends, not being in love, not getting married, but being together.
Always, together, with each other.
"Let's talk about it when you grow up."
I will find you.
I will find you and be with you.
I will find you, be with you, never part.
"I remembered! Qian Xiyue, that person was you ten years ago!"
The author has something to say: such a warm and beautiful ten-year agreement, written on such an auspicious day as "520" is really wonderful!
Remember in the opening Chapter 1, the Duke stared at the falling ribbons in a daze?That's because she discovered that the person who saved her might be the person she had an agreement with!
And on the night of her confession, the reason why her tone was low was because... Leng Xing didn't notice it!
In fact, it's not that she didn't see it, but...she didn't look carefully, after all, she would be very sleepy and had to sleep.So this matter is over.Until the topic of "Leng Xing is very special to the Duke" was brought up, she would guide Leng Xing to recall the past again, otherwise, with the Duke's silence, it would be impossible for her to take the initiative to bring it up.
So, you are "special" not only because of your blood, but also because you are the one I made an appointment with.
The reason why Leng Xing was looking for the ribbon so frantically was because she lost the promised token, and she was afraid that the "girl" she agreed with would not be able to find her.
Chapter 55 Moonlight (Medium)
The Duke looked at the river and did not answer.
Her shadow is tall and thin, as lonely as it was on the 72nd floor a few hours ago.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
She hugged her from behind and heard a slight inhalation.
"I thought you forgot."
"How is it possible?" Leng Xing laughed, "I will never forget my promise, my promise! What's more, it's the person I've been waiting for!"
The Duke gently pushed her hand away, held it in his palm, then turned and looked directly at her.
"But, have you ever thought about it, if I'm not that person, wouldn't you have broken that agreement?"
"In my heart, that has always been a very, very important person. You don't know, I once lost it because of..." Leng Xing stroked the ribbon on his wrist, "It's almost crazy to find it! Even if a bullet passes through my When I was on my chest, I never shed a tear, but that time, I cried."
"I don't even know that the person you promised is so important in your heart."
Her other hand brushed Leng Xing's face, as if wiping away tears that didn't exist.
"It's not 'that person', it's you! Qian Xiyue, it's you standing in front of me."
"But you didn't know it before."
There was an oddity in her voice.
"So? Now I know, isn't it great? I finally found it, a ten-year agreement."
"What if I'm not? When she finds you, what will you choose? Is it the one you promised, or..."
Leng Xing couldn't help but laugh.
"A sensible Duke of Rose would also ask such a question?"
This kind of question that only a little woman would be entangled with is really unlikely to be asked by a rational woman. It is the same as when the Duke said "I love you" before, she also felt very uncomfortable. After all... the Duke did not say it.
"Duke Rose is sensible, but Qian Xiyue is not."
"Okay, since Qian Xiyue asked this question, I'll answer it anyway. The answer is - you, because you are the person you promised."
"You're dodging the question."
"You said what if, and if it doesn't exist. If I have to ask such a question, I can ask a lot... Qian Xiyue, if I killed your parents, you will still treat me like you are now okay?"
"It's impossible." The Duke said firmly, "It's ridiculous."
"Impossible, is it the answer to the question, or is it a view of the question itself?"
"Of course it's the problem itself! They live in the Middle Ages, and you are not from the same era at all!"
For some reason, the Duke's mood was particularly obvious tonight, completely unlike his usual depressed appearance.Even... She put an exclamation point in her sentence.
"I said what if."
"This would never exist at all."
"So, you are actually avoiding the question. Since none of us are willing to make such a choice, why do we torture ourselves with these non-existent choices?" Leng Xing stared at her with a serious expression, "You Even the person I made an appointment with, I didn’t kill your parents. There is no if, and there is no question worth thinking about. Qian Xiyue, do you know that when you asked me that question, it reminded me of 'Mother Go into the water with the daughter-in-law at the same time and save that one' is such an inexplicable question. Many women insist on asking men such questions. When the man answers 'mother', the woman starts to make trouble, and when the man answers 'daughter-in-law', what will the mother think if she knows it? ? Because of the emphasis on filial piety, in China, I believe that most men will choose to save their mothers, so the result is that men have a gap in their hearts, and women feel that men do not love themselves enough, and even...men and women broke up!" Leng Xing Spread your hands, "Is it worth it for a scene that may never be staged?"
The duke did not speak.
"I'm really avoiding problems because...it's unnecessary. I don't do futile things, and I don't worry too much about assuming many impossible scenarios to torture myself. Yes, people in love are prone to overthinking, but I If it's like this all the time... When you're not around, I keep imagining... Oh, Qian Xiyue cheated, Qian Xiyue went to find someone else, Qian Xiyue ignored me..." Leng Xing The eyeballs rolled around, and the expression was as playful as the tone.
The Duke tried to hold back a laugh, his shoulders trembling.
"Don't laugh!" Seeing the Duke's uncontrollable expression, she patted her hand, "Do you think it's interesting? Nothing happened at all, but being immersed in it makes me unable to do anything."
"Are you so sure? 'Qian Xiyue cheated, Qian Xiyue went to find someone else, and Qian Xiyue ignored me' won't happen?"
"Are you going to tell me it will happen?!" Leng Xing glared at her.
"No, of course not."
"That's the end of it, another meaningless question. If it weren't for the sake of your birthday, I wouldn't answer such a meaningless question. These questions stop here, where are we going now?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"your home."
"But...it will be very dangerous." The Duke hesitated.
"You still have to deal with Proseus, don't you?"
"Correct."
"Of course I went to your house. Could it be that you want me to continue to wait for your presence, just like a concubine waiting for the emperor's favor?" Before she knew it, her tone became sour, as if she was complaining, " I don't want to wait any longer!"
Her expression was vicious.
"But……"
"Qian Xiyue, if you don't follow me again, I'll push you into the river!" Leng Xing pointed to a step not far away where there were no chains and stone pillars to stop pedestrians from accidentally falling into the river, and threatened. "I know you are not afraid of water, but His Highness the Duke of Rose has always paid attention to appearance, right? Floating out of the river wet, isn't it pretty in winter? Take me there right away."
If someone else dared to threaten the Duke like this, the Duke would push him into the river without hesitation, and let him know what would happen to him if he threatened him, but——
It was Leng Xing who said this to her.
The Duke imagined the scene where he was dripping with water, and couldn't help shivering.
The image of a noble and glamorous goddess... has ceased to exist.
"You win. Let's go."
She stretched out her arms towards Leng Xing.
After all, she couldn't push her lover into the river.
There was no one around, and with a flash of silver light, the two disappeared.
Thousands of miles away, among the lofty mountains of a foreign country, Leng Xing couldn't help but admire the scene in front of him.
In the night, there is a towering castle with a pointed top pointing directly at the sky, and the light of stars shines through the windows, outlining a magnificent outline.In the silence, all Leng Xing could feel was momentum and majesty, as if a giant was standing in front of her.It also seems that this ancient building is silently telling her the past thousand years, which is the vicissitudes and accumulations that cannot be possessed by any sight.
"Here is..."
"My home. Where you want to come."
"It's so spectacular..." She couldn't help admiring, "I think of Hogwarts."
"This is not Hogwarts." She smiled. "Actually, I really want to live in a world full of magic. There are countless delicious foods and drinks with a wave of my wand. Unfortunately, I don't know magic, only spiritual power. , but it can drive the magic circle. I thought you would be afraid."
After all, the castle was surrounded by mountains, and the surroundings were deserted. It seemed that it was not a place that humans could reach at all.
"One thing, after all, it's in the wilderness. But, I'm with you, so there's no need." Leng Xing shrugged, "I guess you didn't take me in directly because you wanted me to see the whole picture."
"Not all. Also, since the nobleman of Le Senbai came to my castle, I set up a spiritual barrier to prohibit instant transfer to my castle."
The Duke doesn't want to be assassinated one day, just because her family can use teleportation at will.If so, how is it different from leaving the door wide open and waiting for a robber to come?
"It's like an anti-apparition spell." Leng Xing couldn't help but think of "Harry Potter".
"It's different," the duke explained. "The anti-apparition spell in the wizarding world is for the individual, but the spiritual barrier is not. It is for the area. No one, without my special permission, can directly to my castle."
"Hogwarts can't apparate directly either. Including yourself?"
"Of course not. After all, it is a barrier I set up. But in essence, a spiritual power barrier is also a kind of magic circle. All advanced forms of spiritual power use are magic circles. My barrier can prevent others from entering, but it is not impossible. It can be cracked. As long as you have enough spiritual power to neutralize my barrier, you can still enter... without my permission. But..."
"However, you will find out. After all, it is your barrier. You are the master, and you make the rules."
"Bingo! Want to see the whole picture?"
"Without a doubt, yes!" Leng Xing looked at her with a smile on his face.
The Duke disappeared instantly, and reappeared a few seconds later with a luxurious snow fox fur cloak in his hand.
"I hope you're not too cold. I can't keep you warm while flying. After all, it's impossible to run two strands of spiritual power at the same time." She said while tying the cloak around Leng Xing's neckline.
Afterwards, she soared into the sky with Leng Xing in her arms!
There is the wind blowing at a high speed by the ear, the towering castle is standing under the feet, and the black sky is above the head. They are really flying!
"It's okay! It's better than riding a broom! At least I'm still in your arms, not the wind's arms!"
Leng Xing yelled in response to her, it was indeed much colder in the sky, but this experience was very novel and unprecedented for her.She was flying freely by the wind, and under her feet was the earth shrouded in night, and there were dots of light from the castle.
"Don't be so loud, I can hear you!"
The Duke replied with the same volume. Although she had keen senses, Leng Xing might not be able to hear her because of the howling wind.
She was afraid that Leng Xing would catch cold.
"Wow - it's so cool!"
Leng Xing hooked the Duke's neck with one hand, and stretched out the other hand, feeling the wind passing by the palm of his hand, bringing infinite pleasure.And the Duke hugged her tightly, his cloak fluttering behind him, making a sound of hunting.
"Don't do such a dangerous move!"
"I trust you won't let me fall!"
As the altitude rose, the thin air gradually made Leng Xing unable to breathe.
"Go down."
"I still want to see it."
"Go on, if you don't want to be an ice cream."
The Duke fell back to the ground and found that Leng Xing's face was flushed with cold, and his teeth were chattering.
"Good... cool..." She trembled.
"It's all frozen into ice cream." She used her spiritual power, and there was an endless flow of heat in her hands, which flowed into Leng Xing's body continuously.While walking with Leng Xing in her arms, she scolded, "Is it cool?"
"It's really... very... fun... ah..."
"You're still talking! Don't catch a cold, I'm not a doctor." She wrapped Leng Xing's snow fox fur cloak tightly again.
"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."
"Snapped."
Bright lights.
It is the gorgeous and magnificent hall of Shura Castle.
The Duke continued to walk in, while Leng Xing lingered on every delicate line inside the castle.Although she didn't know much about architecture, there was no doubt that the typical pointed rib vault was a typical feature of Gothic architecture. [1]
"It's Gothic!"
"That's right, my grandfather built this castle in the 12th century and named it Shura Castle."
"Sura? Why is it... such a trembling name?"
"I don't know either." The Duke put her down gently, "Actually, I've never seen him, he died before I was born. Although the blood race will not age, we are not indestructible, and we will die."
"Like garlic and crosses?"
"You've read too many novels, baby."
The Duke tidied her clothes, and then continued to speak: "Garlic and crosses, not to mention pure blood and nobles, are ineffective against the lowest blood race. We don't need to breathe, so you can't expect to use the smell of garlic. Smother us, though our senses are keen."
Leng Xing couldn't help laughing.
"As for the cross... maybe it was spread because of the so-called 'God's punishment'. It is said that blood races are devils from hell, so they have no resistance to 'sacred things' such as crosses and holy water, and they will even be burned to ashes... ..." She said in a tone of sarcasm and contempt, "Baby, if you don't believe me, I allow you to try it with a cross and see if I will turn into ashes."
She raised her eyebrows and stared at the dangling cross on Leng Xing's neck.
"It's not necessary, I believe you. If it was useful, we hugged so many times, you would have been burned to ashes. But what is that? Sunshine?"
"Sunshine is one of the correct answers, but only for ordinary blood races. Pure blood races are not afraid of the sun at all. As for the nobles, staying in the sun for too long will be affected, such as the decline in the control of spiritual power and so on. I It’s okay to come out often during the day, isn’t it?”
"It's winter now."
"It has nothing to do with the seasons. The sun has no effect on me. My father's name is Apollo. Do you know the meaning of his name?"
"The sun god in Greek mythology!"
"Yes, not only is he not afraid of the sun, he is even stronger in the sun, so he is known as the 'Prince of the Sun'. It's just... I'm not, I don't like the sun very much, it's too dazzling."
"Then what are you afraid of?"
"Baby, is that all you want to know what can kill me?" The Duke looked down at her with a playful smile on his lips.
"No! I'm just curious..." Leng Xing hurriedly explained, "How could I!"
"Just kidding." She whispered in her ear, "The biggest enemy of the same kind, the blood family is yourself."
A cold wind.
"Our teeth and claws can kill the same kind, so can spiritual power, and so can spiritual weapons. And... flames."
"Flame?" She raised half of her eyebrows in surprise.
"Yes, flames. It's just that some blood races have abilities that are not afraid of flames."
"for example?"
"My ancestor was not the founder of the Vanjo family, but a little later than him." The duke signaled Leng Xing to sit in front of the gorgeous long dining table, "He is the first human embraced by the founder, the fourth generation of blood, his alien To be capable is not to be afraid of fire."
The Duke took off the black cloak that was jumping with flames, and a servant immediately stepped forward to take it.She straightened her clothes, and then sat with Leng Xing.
"So that's where the flames on your cloak come from?"
"Well. I didn't have a name before, but I have a surname. Inis is my surname, which means flame." She played with her hair, "The Ines family has been four generations of pure blood for generations. Zhuo's top ruler."[2]
"And Fanzhuo is the leader of the secret party... It is equivalent to your family leading half of the blood world."
"Probably so, but it's not that simple." She snapped her fingers, and a servant immediately came forward to serve steaming dishes, "You haven't eaten, eat quickly."
"Where did all this come from?"
"The chef made it. Although I don't need to eat, enjoying delicious food is also one of my hobbies."
"By the way. I still think of one. Are the vampires afraid of silver?"
The Duke laughed, and she picked up the knife with a leisurely expression: "What do you think this knife is made of?"
"Silver." It's not that she has never used silver tableware.
"Then do you think I'm afraid?"
Her white fingers nimbly turned the table knife, shining brightly under the bright light of the crystal lamp.
"Oh, stop playing." Leng Xing grabbed the knife and began to cut the steak. "I know you're not afraid, but what about other blood races? Not every blood race is pure blood."
"You guessed it right." She shrugged, "The blood race below the nobles are afraid of silver, and silver will make their bodies fester. In fact, even nobles with lower spiritual power levels are afraid of silver, depending on the amount of silver." Bar."
"No wonder you said that blood is power."
"Yeah, if I'm just an ordinary blood, how dare I use a silver table knife? I'm afraid it will become horrible." She stroked Leng Xing's hair, "Hurry up, didn't you have a stomachache before?"
"Cake! I haven't lit the candles for you yet, and I'm singing birthday songs!" Leng Xing said and was about to reach out his hand.
"Don't worry, your stomach is more important."
After Leng Xing dealt with the steak, he refused to eat any more.The Duke had no choice but to obey her and brought the cake.
"I have no candles here."
"Don't you know that the cake shop will send it? Huh? Qian Xiyue?" Leng Xing miraculously took out the candle from the side of the cake box, and put a paper birthday hat on the Duke's head.
"Ah... so naive..." The Duke struggled, trying to restore his original image.
"Don't move! Let me take a picture!"
As soon as the flash light came on, Leng Xing stretched out his hand to the Duke: "Lighter."
The Duke directly took out the lighter with a silver shell from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Wow...I wear a lighter with me..." Leng Xing glanced at her, "What time is it?"
"Okay, what kind of name do you want?" Leng Xing replied, feeling inexplicably sour in his heart.
"As long as you started it, it's fine."
"What do you think?"
Unknowingly, Leng Xing stopped.Hearing the Duke's soft voice, she looked up and saw her shining eyes, and the skyscrapers behind the Duke shrouded in night and lights. "
"I just remembered the night you confessed your love."
"It's each other." The person opposite corrected.
"Your name, I've thought about it for a long time..."
"Have you thought about it now?" She, who had never seen her like a child, was eager, her eyes were shining brightly, just like a child seeing candy.
"Ah."
"What is it?"
"Qian Xiyue. Thousands are thousands of thousands, Xi is the tide of a sunset beside the three o'clock water, and the moon is the moon of moonlight."
"Well, Qian... Xi... Yue." She recited slowly, the expression on her face blurred in the darkness.
Near the skyscrapers is a cable-stayed bridge extending to the opposite bank, and under the bridge is a wide river, flowing quietly.And the waves of the river rippling like the sea's undulating thousands of tides, reflecting the deserted light emitted by the silver moon on the zenith. [5]

Chapter 54 Moonlight (Part [-])
Thousands of tidal waters, reflecting the moonlight.
- Leng Xing
Thousand—tide—moon—
Thousands of tidal waters, reflecting the moonlight.
"Don't you like it?" Looking at the duke's blurred face in the dark, Leng Xing asked in a low voice, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
"No, I like it very much." She shook her head and interrupted, with a gentle and firm tone, "I'm just so happy that I finally have my own existence, and you gave it to me. I like any name, as long as What you gave me is the best."
The two stood under the skyscrapers, overlooking the river of lights in the city.
"When I saw you for the first time, the first thing I thought of was—how could there be such a beautiful person in this world, and the second thing was that you were seriously injured." Leng Xing brushed his wind-torn hair, "It's just... "
"It's just that I'm not a human being." The Duke showed a slight smile, "It's finally confirmed because I told you that I don't have a name."
"But why?"
"My father only said that there is no name in the world worthy of me, but he doesn't know..." The Duke lowered his eyes slightly, "What I need is not a superior status, as if 'nothing is worthy' Fuck me', but—truly me."
She hugged Leng Xing's shoulders.
"However, with so much I have, there seems to be no reason to say that I am unhappy, right? It's like 'sorry for new words', but I am not like that...emotional, and even, for many years, I have not experienced any Emotions. Numb, cold, as I said every day, to be a vital part of the military machine, to be the perfect Duke of Rose in the eyes of the Vanjo people. I am used to it, every day, as long as I can... alive. Although There are so many, but I am fighting for survival every minute and every second. The world of vampires is more cruel than that of humans, there is no such thing as helping the weak, only..."
"Blood is power, and power is power. You said it."
Leng Xing had never heard the Duke speak so much at once. Even when she got into a quarrel, she kept her words as concise as possible, as if words were a resource, and if they were used up early, they would be gone.
"But I never felt that there was anything wrong with it. This is my life, just like you..." She spread her hands, "Go to class, eat, go to class, eat, do homework, work or play, almost classrooms, cafeterias, dormitories Three points and one line... nothing will change, and you won't find anything unreasonable. Yes, that's all."
Without discussing where to go or thinking, the two walked out of the gate of the group and walked slowly along the sparkling river.Although it is winter, the temperature is not very low. You can still see part of the river flowing, reflecting the city at night, even though the river near the river bank is covered with a thin layer of ice.
Leng Xing didn't ask the Duke where he was going, and the Duke seemed to have forgotten the coup and conspiracy that had been bothering her.Just walking by the river, she is carrying the cake, she is holding her arm, there is no racial confrontation between humans and blood races, no conspiracy entanglement, just like ordinary couples, happy and simple.
Leng Xing never saw the Duke being so emotional.Even when the Duke hugged her and said "I love you too", she could feel another soul in the Duke's body pulling away from the sky, looking coldly at them hugging them.It's like - her saying "I love you too" is just a reply to her "I love you", like "You're welcome" is to "Thank you", "It's okay" is to "I'm sorry".
"It wasn't until... you asked that question, your name, that I realized that all along, what I have never had is something that any ordinary human being or blood race has." She glanced down at the cake in her hand , "For example, sincere liking, such as a name, although it is unique, it is very simple."
"Qian Xiyue..."
"Leng Xing, thank you."
She stopped and faced Leng Xing who wanted to comfort her.The flowing river, the stretching bridge, the lights on the other side and the uneven buildings, and the moon above... those extremely ordinary things, those scenery that I have never glanced at in countless working nights, and the roses in front of her eyes Duke Qian Xiyue blended together, unexpectedly looking so beautiful, as if everything was shining.
Leng Xing took out his phone.
The Duke looked at her slightly astonished.
"Take a picture."
She raised her phone and pressed the shutter on the Duke.Even if it was frozen into a picture, she could strongly feel that there was a flowing light in the Duke's eyes, as if there was life.
"Look~ isn't it beautiful~"
The Duke shook his head.
She took out her mobile phone and said lightly, "Together."
Leng Xing took her mobile phone as promised, and took the first photo of the two of them together.
"You never used a camera!"
"It's not necessary." She let go of Leng Xing's hand and changed to holding hands, "The photo is for recording, but for me... there is nothing worth recording. Leng Xing, you know, the time I have experienced So long, so long that nothing makes sense."
"Because of this, shouldn't you write down something? In order not to forget."
"So I recorded you~" She smiled, and took a picture of Leng Xing, the flashlight illuminated the face of the opposite person, "Actually, you don't know, when you asked me for my mobile phone number, I didn't have a mobile phone number at all. It should be said that I don’t have a mobile phone at all.”
"It's also... no name, no ID card, and probably no mobile phone number. I didn't think of it at the time."
"I kind of liked you, right then."
"Because of what?"
"Blood." The Duke answered truthfully.
"It's the same as I guessed. In fact, I liked you a little bit at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have asked for a mobile phone number. It should be because I like you, and I want to be friends or something..." Leng Xing sorted out his thoughts, "But it's not limited to this. In short, Want to have an intersection."
"Because of what?"
"I told you not to be angry."
"Go ahead."
"appearance."
"It's not surprising." The Duke responded after a few seconds, "Remember I told you that even those who hate me cannot resist my charm."
Anyone who dares to say this will surely be considered a narcissist.But... Looking at the Duke's incomparably exquisite face, she must admit that what the Duke said was correct.
"So it's not surprising that your answer is this. Although, honey, you don't seem like me."
"Like you what?"
"Focus on appearance."
"Everyone has the love of beauty. Looking at beautiful women every day is also very pleasing to the eye, and it can also make you feel good, prolong your life, and benefit your health."
Leng Xing smiled playfully.
"However, why did you buy a mobile phone later? Because... me?"
"Well. You're special. I like unique things."
"I'm not a 'thing'! I'm a person!"
Leng Xing emphasized, but suddenly realized that he had scolded himself.
"It makes no difference to me."
"Is it especially because of the blood?" She felt a faint sense of loss in her heart.
"Not all." The Duke took out something, "Leng Xing, the day I was assassinated was not the first time we met."
"what?"
"It's the third time."
She tied a silver ribbon around Leng Xing's wrist, covering the shallow scar left more than ten days ago.
Leng Xing paused, staring at the ribbon in a daze.
"It's my ribbon! Why is it in your place?"
"You ran too fast that night."
"That is to say... everything I saw that night was real! You are flying in the sky!"
"Well, that's right."
"Why didn't you return it to me when you got it?"
"I can't." She stroked Leng Xing's hair, "If I give it back to you, how can I explain all this to me? 'Oh, I was flying in the sky that night, and I saw your things fall~I'm a vampire~' you Do you think it's possible?"
The Duke rolled his eyes and taught in a high-pitched voice.
"And after that? When I already know your identity? It is very important to me!"
"It is very important to you?" the Duke repeated with a half-smile.
"Yes, it was given to me by a very important person! Wait..."
"The day I was assassinated was not the first time we met."
"It's the third time."
In other words, the Duke has met her before, and she actually has...
Is she missing something?
"Who is drawing this time?"
"Guess~~~"
"I don't know." She yawned, "Go to sleep, I'm so sleepy."
"Do not you know?"
The picture is a corner of the park, on a wooden bench——
The sitting girl with long hair is leaning forward, lowering her head to the little girl standing in front of her.
The little girl was very cute, she looked only seven or eight years old, she smiled sweetly, with small dimples at the corners of her mouth.
The long-haired girl is tying something around the wrist of the girl in front of her. If you look carefully, you will find that it is a ribbon embroidered with exquisite patterns, made of expensive materials, and inlaid with precious stones.
The sun hit the girl's face, half of her face was white and almost transparent under the sunlight, while the other half was hidden in the shadows, her deep eyes were fixed on the girl, and the wind whizzed past, blowing the long satin The belt was blown up and fluttered in the air, like a free elf.
In an extremely familiar scene in memory, the Duke in front of her tied a ribbon on her wrist with the same gesture, and even the position was the same.
And that painting... It's a complete reenactment of the scene from ten years ago!
How could she know that person?The person who agreed with her whimsical ideas, agreed with her, and left a token on her wrist... The girl on the bench, sitting in the park, with sapphire-like eyes, the lonely light fell on the void in the distance.
Unless, she is that person!
"Pretty sister, can I be with you?"
The girl looked down at her, smiled lightly, showing her snow-white teeth: "Let's talk about it when you grow up."
"But, then how can I find you?" She stretched out her small hand and tugged at her sleeve, her eyes were brighter than obsidian.
With cold fingers, he gently tied a beautifully patterned ribbon on her wrist.
"That's it, it's fine~ I'll find you."
Under the sun, her face was so white that it was almost transparent, and her lips were bright red like roses in full bloom.Every move is full of aristocratic elegance, too beautiful to be real, so...
Only then will he be attracted, and ask expectantly: "Can I be with you?"
Not being friends, not being in love, not getting married, but being together.
Always, together, with each other.
"Let's talk about it when you grow up."
I will find you.
I will find you and be with you.
I will find you, be with you, never part.
"I remembered! Qian Xiyue, that person was you ten years ago!"
The author has something to say: such a warm and beautiful ten-year agreement, written on such an auspicious day as "520" is really wonderful!
Remember in the opening Chapter 1, the Duke stared at the falling ribbons in a daze?That's because she discovered that the person who saved her might be the person she had an agreement with!
And on the night of her confession, the reason why her tone was low was because... Leng Xing didn't notice it!
In fact, it's not that she didn't see it, but...she didn't look carefully, after all, she would be very sleepy and had to sleep.So this matter is over.Until the topic of "Leng Xing is very special to the Duke" was brought up, she would guide Leng Xing to recall the past again, otherwise, with the Duke's silence, it would be impossible for her to take the initiative to bring it up.
So, you are "special" not only because of your blood, but also because you are the one I made an appointment with.
The reason why Leng Xing was looking for the ribbon so frantically was because she lost the promised token, and she was afraid that the "girl" she agreed with would not be able to find her.
Chapter 55 Moonlight (Medium)
The Duke looked at the river and did not answer.
Her shadow is tall and thin, as lonely as it was on the 72nd floor a few hours ago.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
She hugged her from behind and heard a slight inhalation.
"I thought you forgot."
"How is it possible?" Leng Xing laughed, "I will never forget my promise, my promise! What's more, it's the person I've been waiting for!"
The Duke gently pushed her hand away, held it in his palm, then turned and looked directly at her.
"But, have you ever thought about it, if I'm not that person, wouldn't you have broken that agreement?"
"In my heart, that has always been a very, very important person. You don't know, I once lost it because of..." Leng Xing stroked the ribbon on his wrist, "It's almost crazy to find it! Even if a bullet passes through my When I was on my chest, I never shed a tear, but that time, I cried."
"I don't even know that the person you promised is so important in your heart."
Her other hand brushed Leng Xing's face, as if wiping away tears that didn't exist.
"It's not 'that person', it's you! Qian Xiyue, it's you standing in front of me."
"But you didn't know it before."
There was an oddity in her voice.
"So? Now I know, isn't it great? I finally found it, a ten-year agreement."
"What if I'm not? When she finds you, what will you choose? Is it the one you promised, or..."
Leng Xing couldn't help but laugh.
"A sensible Duke of Rose would also ask such a question?"
This kind of question that only a little woman would be entangled with is really unlikely to be asked by a rational woman. It is the same as when the Duke said "I love you" before, she also felt very uncomfortable. After all... the Duke did not say it.
"Duke Rose is sensible, but Qian Xiyue is not."
"Okay, since Qian Xiyue asked this question, I'll answer it anyway. The answer is - you, because you are the person you promised."
"You're dodging the question."
"You said what if, and if it doesn't exist. If I have to ask such a question, I can ask a lot... Qian Xiyue, if I killed your parents, you will still treat me like you are now okay?"
"It's impossible." The Duke said firmly, "It's ridiculous."
"Impossible, is it the answer to the question, or is it a view of the question itself?"
"Of course it's the problem itself! They live in the Middle Ages, and you are not from the same era at all!"
For some reason, the Duke's mood was particularly obvious tonight, completely unlike his usual depressed appearance.Even... She put an exclamation point in her sentence.
"I said what if."
"This would never exist at all."
"So, you are actually avoiding the question. Since none of us are willing to make such a choice, why do we torture ourselves with these non-existent choices?" Leng Xing stared at her with a serious expression, "You Even the person I made an appointment with, I didn’t kill your parents. There is no if, and there is no question worth thinking about. Qian Xiyue, do you know that when you asked me that question, it reminded me of 'Mother Go into the water with the daughter-in-law at the same time and save that one' is such an inexplicable question. Many women insist on asking men such questions. When the man answers 'mother', the woman starts to make trouble, and when the man answers 'daughter-in-law', what will the mother think if she knows it? ? Because of the emphasis on filial piety, in China, I believe that most men will choose to save their mothers, so the result is that men have a gap in their hearts, and women feel that men do not love themselves enough, and even...men and women broke up!" Leng Xing Spread your hands, "Is it worth it for a scene that may never be staged?"
The duke did not speak.
"I'm really avoiding problems because...it's unnecessary. I don't do futile things, and I don't worry too much about assuming many impossible scenarios to torture myself. Yes, people in love are prone to overthinking, but I If it's like this all the time... When you're not around, I keep imagining... Oh, Qian Xiyue cheated, Qian Xiyue went to find someone else, Qian Xiyue ignored me..." Leng Xing The eyeballs rolled around, and the expression was as playful as the tone.
The Duke tried to hold back a laugh, his shoulders trembling.
"Don't laugh!" Seeing the Duke's uncontrollable expression, she patted her hand, "Do you think it's interesting? Nothing happened at all, but being immersed in it makes me unable to do anything."
"Are you so sure? 'Qian Xiyue cheated, Qian Xiyue went to find someone else, and Qian Xiyue ignored me' won't happen?"
"Are you going to tell me it will happen?!" Leng Xing glared at her.
"No, of course not."
"That's the end of it, another meaningless question. If it weren't for the sake of your birthday, I wouldn't answer such a meaningless question. These questions stop here, where are we going now?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"your home."
"But...it will be very dangerous." The Duke hesitated.
"You still have to deal with Proseus, don't you?"
"Correct."
"Of course I went to your house. Could it be that you want me to continue to wait for your presence, just like a concubine waiting for the emperor's favor?" Before she knew it, her tone became sour, as if she was complaining, " I don't want to wait any longer!"
Her expression was vicious.
"But……"
"Qian Xiyue, if you don't follow me again, I'll push you into the river!" Leng Xing pointed to a step not far away where there were no chains and stone pillars to stop pedestrians from accidentally falling into the river, and threatened. "I know you are not afraid of water, but His Highness the Duke of Rose has always paid attention to appearance, right? Floating out of the river wet, isn't it pretty in winter? Take me there right away."
If someone else dared to threaten the Duke like this, the Duke would push him into the river without hesitation, and let him know what would happen to him if he threatened him, but——
It was Leng Xing who said this to her.
The Duke imagined the scene where he was dripping with water, and couldn't help shivering.
The image of a noble and glamorous goddess... has ceased to exist.
"You win. Let's go."
She stretched out her arms towards Leng Xing.
After all, she couldn't push her lover into the river.
There was no one around, and with a flash of silver light, the two disappeared.
Thousands of miles away, among the lofty mountains of a foreign country, Leng Xing couldn't help but admire the scene in front of him.
In the night, there is a towering castle with a pointed top pointing directly at the sky, and the light of stars shines through the windows, outlining a magnificent outline.In the silence, all Leng Xing could feel was momentum and majesty, as if a giant was standing in front of her.It also seems that this ancient building is silently telling her the past thousand years, which is the vicissitudes and accumulations that cannot be possessed by any sight.
"Here is..."
"My home. Where you want to come."
"It's so spectacular..." She couldn't help admiring, "I think of Hogwarts."
"This is not Hogwarts." She smiled. "Actually, I really want to live in a world full of magic. There are countless delicious foods and drinks with a wave of my wand. Unfortunately, I don't know magic, only spiritual power. , but it can drive the magic circle. I thought you would be afraid."
After all, the castle was surrounded by mountains, and the surroundings were deserted. It seemed that it was not a place that humans could reach at all.
"One thing, after all, it's in the wilderness. But, I'm with you, so there's no need." Leng Xing shrugged, "I guess you didn't take me in directly because you wanted me to see the whole picture."
"Not all. Also, since the nobleman of Le Senbai came to my castle, I set up a spiritual barrier to prohibit instant transfer to my castle."
The Duke doesn't want to be assassinated one day, just because her family can use teleportation at will.If so, how is it different from leaving the door wide open and waiting for a robber to come?
"It's like an anti-apparition spell." Leng Xing couldn't help but think of "Harry Potter".
"It's different," the duke explained. "The anti-apparition spell in the wizarding world is for the individual, but the spiritual barrier is not. It is for the area. No one, without my special permission, can directly to my castle."
"Hogwarts can't apparate directly either. Including yourself?"
"Of course not. After all, it is a barrier I set up. But in essence, a spiritual power barrier is also a kind of magic circle. All advanced forms of spiritual power use are magic circles. My barrier can prevent others from entering, but it is not impossible. It can be cracked. As long as you have enough spiritual power to neutralize my barrier, you can still enter... without my permission. But..."
"However, you will find out. After all, it is your barrier. You are the master, and you make the rules."
"Bingo! Want to see the whole picture?"
"Without a doubt, yes!" Leng Xing looked at her with a smile on his face.
The Duke disappeared instantly, and reappeared a few seconds later with a luxurious snow fox fur cloak in his hand.
"I hope you're not too cold. I can't keep you warm while flying. After all, it's impossible to run two strands of spiritual power at the same time." She said while tying the cloak around Leng Xing's neckline.
Afterwards, she soared into the sky with Leng Xing in her arms!
There is the wind blowing at a high speed by the ear, the towering castle is standing under the feet, and the black sky is above the head. They are really flying!
"It's okay! It's better than riding a broom! At least I'm still in your arms, not the wind's arms!"
Leng Xing yelled in response to her, it was indeed much colder in the sky, but this experience was very novel and unprecedented for her.She was flying freely by the wind, and under her feet was the earth shrouded in night, and there were dots of light from the castle.
"Don't be so loud, I can hear you!"
The Duke replied with the same volume. Although she had keen senses, Leng Xing might not be able to hear her because of the howling wind.
She was afraid that Leng Xing would catch cold.
"Wow - it's so cool!"
Leng Xing hooked the Duke's neck with one hand, and stretched out the other hand, feeling the wind passing by the palm of his hand, bringing infinite pleasure.And the Duke hugged her tightly, his cloak fluttering behind him, making a sound of hunting.
"Don't do such a dangerous move!"
"I trust you won't let me fall!"
As the altitude rose, the thin air gradually made Leng Xing unable to breathe.
"Go down."
"I still want to see it."
"Go on, if you don't want to be an ice cream."
The Duke fell back to the ground and found that Leng Xing's face was flushed with cold, and his teeth were chattering.
"Good... cool..." She trembled.
"It's all frozen into ice cream." She used her spiritual power, and there was an endless flow of heat in her hands, which flowed into Leng Xing's body continuously.While walking with Leng Xing in her arms, she scolded, "Is it cool?"
"It's really... very... fun... ah..."
"You're still talking! Don't catch a cold, I'm not a doctor." She wrapped Leng Xing's snow fox fur cloak tightly again.
"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."
"Snapped."
Bright lights.
It is the gorgeous and magnificent hall of Shura Castle.
The Duke continued to walk in, while Leng Xing lingered on every delicate line inside the castle.Although she didn't know much about architecture, there was no doubt that the typical pointed rib vault was a typical feature of Gothic architecture. [1]
"It's Gothic!"
"That's right, my grandfather built this castle in the 12th century and named it Shura Castle."
"Sura? Why is it... such a trembling name?"
"I don't know either." The Duke put her down gently, "Actually, I've never seen him, he died before I was born. Although the blood race will not age, we are not indestructible, and we will die."
"Like garlic and crosses?"
"You've read too many novels, baby."
The Duke tidied her clothes, and then continued to speak: "Garlic and crosses, not to mention pure blood and nobles, are ineffective against the lowest blood race. We don't need to breathe, so you can't expect to use the smell of garlic. Smother us, though our senses are keen."
Leng Xing couldn't help laughing.
"As for the cross... maybe it was spread because of the so-called 'God's punishment'. It is said that blood races are devils from hell, so they have no resistance to 'sacred things' such as crosses and holy water, and they will even be burned to ashes... ..." She said in a tone of sarcasm and contempt, "Baby, if you don't believe me, I allow you to try it with a cross and see if I will turn into ashes."
She raised her eyebrows and stared at the dangling cross on Leng Xing's neck.
"It's not necessary, I believe you. If it was useful, we hugged so many times, you would have been burned to ashes. But what is that? Sunshine?"
"Sunshine is one of the correct answers, but only for ordinary blood races. Pure blood races are not afraid of the sun at all. As for the nobles, staying in the sun for too long will be affected, such as the decline in the control of spiritual power and so on. I It’s okay to come out often during the day, isn’t it?”
"It's winter now."
"It has nothing to do with the seasons. The sun has no effect on me. My father's name is Apollo. Do you know the meaning of his name?"
"The sun god in Greek mythology!"
"Yes, not only is he not afraid of the sun, he is even stronger in the sun, so he is known as the 'Prince of the Sun'. It's just... I'm not, I don't like the sun very much, it's too dazzling."
"Then what are you afraid of?"
"Baby, is that all you want to know what can kill me?" The Duke looked down at her with a playful smile on his lips.
"No! I'm just curious..." Leng Xing hurriedly explained, "How could I!"
"Just kidding." She whispered in her ear, "The biggest enemy of the same kind, the blood family is yourself."
A cold wind.
"Our teeth and claws can kill the same kind, so can spiritual power, and so can spiritual weapons. And... flames."
"Flame?" She raised half of her eyebrows in surprise.
"Yes, flames. It's just that some blood races have abilities that are not afraid of flames."
"for example?"
"My ancestor was not the founder of the Vanjo family, but a little later than him." The duke signaled Leng Xing to sit in front of the gorgeous long dining table, "He is the first human embraced by the founder, the fourth generation of blood, his alien To be capable is not to be afraid of fire."
The Duke took off the black cloak that was jumping with flames, and a servant immediately stepped forward to take it.She straightened her clothes, and then sat with Leng Xing.
"So that's where the flames on your cloak come from?"
"Well. I didn't have a name before, but I have a surname. Inis is my surname, which means flame." She played with her hair, "The Ines family has been four generations of pure blood for generations. Zhuo's top ruler."[2]
"And Fanzhuo is the leader of the secret party... It is equivalent to your family leading half of the blood world."
"Probably so, but it's not that simple." She snapped her fingers, and a servant immediately came forward to serve steaming dishes, "You haven't eaten, eat quickly."
"Where did all this come from?"
"The chef made it. Although I don't need to eat, enjoying delicious food is also one of my hobbies."
"By the way. I still think of one. Are the vampires afraid of silver?"
The Duke laughed, and she picked up the knife with a leisurely expression: "What do you think this knife is made of?"
"Silver." It's not that she has never used silver tableware.
"Then do you think I'm afraid?"
Her white fingers nimbly turned the table knife, shining brightly under the bright light of the crystal lamp.
"Oh, stop playing." Leng Xing grabbed the knife and began to cut the steak. "I know you're not afraid, but what about other blood races? Not every blood race is pure blood."
"You guessed it right." She shrugged, "The blood race below the nobles are afraid of silver, and silver will make their bodies fester. In fact, even nobles with lower spiritual power levels are afraid of silver, depending on the amount of silver." Bar."
"No wonder you said that blood is power."
"Yeah, if I'm just an ordinary blood, how dare I use a silver table knife? I'm afraid it will become horrible." She stroked Leng Xing's hair, "Hurry up, didn't you have a stomachache before?"
"Cake! I haven't lit the candles for you yet, and I'm singing birthday songs!" Leng Xing said and was about to reach out his hand.
"Don't worry, your stomach is more important."
After Leng Xing dealt with the steak, he refused to eat any more.The Duke had no choice but to obey her and brought the cake.
"I have no candles here."
"Don't you know that the cake shop will send it? Huh? Qian Xiyue?" Leng Xing miraculously took out the candle from the side of the cake box, and put a paper birthday hat on the Duke's head.
"Ah... so naive..." The Duke struggled, trying to restore his original image.
"Don't move! Let me take a picture!"
As soon as the flash light came on, Leng Xing stretched out his hand to the Duke: "Lighter."
The Duke directly took out the lighter with a silver shell from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Wow...I wear a lighter with me..." Leng Xing glanced at her, "What time is it?"
