I didn't know you were such a vampire

Qiao Ya had never thought of such a situation.

Outside the window is the cloudy sky, even through the window, the sound of the pouring rain washing over the city can still be heard very clearly in her ears, this sound has been heard for a long time, like a hypnotic pocket watch swinging in front of her eyes , making people drowsy.

However, at this moment, a young man who was drenched in water but not at all in a state of distress was sitting not far from her. Water was still dripping from his body, drop by drop, and there seemed to be a slight sound when it landed on the ground. , and dispelled the tiredness that came up from the soles of the feet.

"Don't you want to hear my story?"

The voice is a clear voice between a young man and a young man. The voice is as violent and fierce as when he threatened to kill her, but the ending is a little trembling. It seems that this bad-tempered vampire hunter rarely utters this sentence, even The words are all unfamiliar, and I feel a little harsh.

After he finished speaking, his chin was still slightly raised, and he looked like a slave owner who had given his servant a sumptuous dinner, and was waiting for the other party's gratitude.However, when he glanced at Qiao Ya, the corners of his mouth immediately pulled down.

Qiao Ya sat on the head of the bed, propped her chin with one hand, tilted her head, and was smiling at him.

"What are you laughing at?" Caius frowned.

Qiao Ya pressed the corners of her mouth with both index fingers and pulled down: "Okay, listen to Mr. Volturi, I don't laugh, I wait for you to tell the story with a blank face."

Caius frowned even tighter. He simply stood up from the chair covered in rain, and said viciously, "In order to prevent me from killing you, I decided to leave."

When Qiao Ya heard this, she stood up immediately, and wanted to reach out to hold him, but he seemed to have understood her thoughts in an instant. If he avoided the beast, he immediately put his hand behind him, only he was soaked by the rain. The wet cuffs brushed gently between her fingers.

The friction between the fingertips and the cloth was very light, but it caused the room to suddenly fall into silence, only the sound of the rain hitting the window sill became louder and louder.

Qiao Ya looked down at the water stains on her cuffs stuck by Caius, and before she could speak, she heard Caius whisper above her head: "Don't touch me."

"Have you killed everyone who met you?" Qiao Ya lowered her head and replied in a firm tone.

She didn't look up at Caius, but just lowered her head, took a few steps back, and sat back on her bed.

The bed was very soft, and as soon as she sat down, she felt like she was going to sink into it. The sheets and pillows still had a unique smell after they had just been washed and dried. These smells gradually permeated her entire sense of smell, and she couldn't smell Caius's body. The smell of rain.

After a long time, Caius said, "Ares was not born in rural Athens."

She looked up at Caius, and found that Caius was standing in front of the desk, looking at the misty rain and fog outside the window. He was tall and stronger than a teenager, but not too burly like most young people. His body His body is more well-proportioned and strong. I don't look carefully at ordinary times. I just think that this person has an unusually good temperament. However, when I look at his side profile, I find that his body is extremely straight. The standard is like a young man who has been in the army for many years. officer.

After he said that sentence, he paused for a long time, as if he was organizing the next words.

Also, when did bad-tempered vampire hunters and ancient Roman slave owners tell stories.

Qiao Ya just looked at him like this, and when the sound of rain outside the window gradually subsided, she heard him say again:

"He was born in a famous family in Athens. His grandfather was a hero who made great contributions in the Hippo-Persian War. His father was a commander of the Athenian navy, and his mother was the daughter of a famous democratic politician. His background destined him to enjoy endless glory and wealth. However, unfortunately, when he was born, the Peloponnesian War had already started. All the men in the family joined the army, and his elder brother, who was 17 years older than him, even died in the early Paros sea battle, so Ares’ mother did not She was not happy because there was another boy in the family, she just kept holding Ares who was still young, thinking of her eldest son who had died in battle, and weeping silently."

"When he was ten years old, Alcibiades incited the people of Athens and started an expedition to Sicily. His elderly father was also in the team. Before Alcibiades led the team to set off, the statue of Hermes in the city was destroyed. , Alcibiades was accused of being involved in this case and committed the crime of blasphemy, so he received an order from Athens after the outbreak of the Sicilian War to let him return to his country for trial, but after he boarded the returning ship, he fled to Afterwards, he revealed Athens' military plans to Sparta, and Sparta sent reinforcements to Sicily to support the Syracusans. In the end, Ares' father died at the spears of the Syracusans, and finally Not even the body was found."

Most of his usual tone is as described by Piero, as arrogant as an ancient Roman slave owner, but when he told this story, he was surprisingly calm and without any emotion, like a machine reading the ancient Greek war epic.

After he finished talking about the death of Ares' father in battle, he stopped again, looked at Qiao Ya, and Qiao Ya was also looking at him, and asked, "Then what about his wife, how did he meet his wife?"

"Wife?" There was some sarcasm in his eyes, "He joined the army at the age of 16, and he has never had a good conversation with a woman. How could he have a wife?"

Qiao Ya rubbed her nose and said, "Uh... but a general war hero would be matched with an extremely beautiful wife..."

"Most are young people who fell on the battlefield before they got married." Caius said, "A man's battlefield. It's not as romantic as what you women say." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Qiao Ya, and Qiao Ya always felt that there was a deep contempt in that look.

"For men, the romance of the battlefield lies in the sense of accomplishment brought by victory." Caius said, "The Athenians are not naturally warlike like the Spartans, but they are not afraid of war. Athens is surrounded by the sea on three sides. , became rich by relying on seaborne trade, and every young man in Athens was not afraid of water. When the war came, everyone wanted to go to the sea, go to the sea to repel the Spartans, go to the sea to establish their own military exploits, and become a Amazing people."

When he said this, his eyes became wild: "A man should be covered in sunburns and knife wounds!"

Qiao Ya looked at his pale and delicate skin with suspicion in her eyes.

"When Ares was 16 years old, Lysander succeeded the Admiral of Sparta's navy and formed an alliance with the Persian prince Cyrus the Younger. He even recruited many sailors from the Athenian navy, Athens was in trouble, and despite his mother’s reluctance, Ares resolutely joined the army and became a soldier under Alcibiades.” He paused, Said, "It was the Alcibiades who betrayed Athens in the Sicilian naval battle. He was hated in Sparta because of his sharpness, so he returned to Athens when Ares was 14 years old, and after he returned to Athens , The Athenian army reversed its decline and repelled the Spartan army several times. It even defeated the Spartan navy in the battle of Abydos in the Hellespont Strait, and regained the coastal areas of Thrace and the Black Sea. course."

Qiao Ya knew Alcibiades well. His life was quite legendary. His guardian was the chief general, Pericles, and he could be said to be from a famous family.He was stubborn when he was young, but after joining the army, he showed excellent military talent. He is indeed a great military strategist and politician, but when he runs, his speed is also very remarkable.

He had betrayed Athens, Sparta, and the governor of Persia and Asia Minor.

When Qiao Ya heard Caius mention Alcibiades, she asked, "Alcibiades killed Ares' father, and he later became a soldier under Alcibiades, so he wouldn't be angry. Is it difficult?"

"No." Caius said firmly.

Qiao Ya was a little surprised that he answered so quickly, so she looked up at him, only to see that his pupils were faintly glowing with rubies.

"He had a natural desire for war," he said. "From the first time he touched the armor that his father kept at home as a teenager, he decided to become a soldier."

"Speaking of selfishness, his reason for joining the army has nothing to do with his country or his family. He likes the feeling of taking fear in his hands, whether it's his own or someone else's. When you master a person's fear, you also master that person's fear." People's life and death." He said, turned his head slightly, and looked at Qiao Ya with completely red eyes.

And at the moment when the eyes of those red pupils came into contact, a pair of eyes glowing red in the night suddenly flashed in Qiao Ya's mind. She was forcibly pulled into the endless vortex by these eyes, There is the cold water of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the hot magma of Mount Vesuvius. During that short but long journey, she experienced the boundless fear for the first time.

She couldn't help shivering.

Seeing her shivering, Caius put his arms around his chest and said mockingly, "How can Miss Qiao Ya feel scared just by saying that?"

Qiao Ya shook her head, she stretched out a hand, trying to stand up with something to support, but Caius stretched out his right hand very naturally, and held her hand that stopped in mid-air. Before he could react, he pulled her up from the bed.

When Qiaoya was still in a daze, Caius had already realized something. He shook off Qiaoya's hand, took a step back hastily, and kicked the chair behind him before he could avoid it. It landed on the chair leg and knocked the chair to the ground with a muffled sound.

When Qiaoya came back to her senses, she didn't pay attention to the overturned chair. All she could think of was the cold and hard feeling of Caius holding her palm.

It was probably because it was too cold today, and she couldn't help shivering again.
