Since Dong Yuejun started practicing martial arts, his temperament has been affected by the blood evil beads, and his emotions are easily aroused.
Li Ruoxin, on the other hand, is much calmer. With her watching over her at home, Ye Fan feels more at ease.
"Okay." Li Ruoxin nodded in response, stood in front of Ye Fan, and arranged his clothes for him, "Brother Ye, have a nice trip."
"rest assured."
Ye Fan smiled, turned around and walked out of the room, went to the front yard to explain a few words to his parents, and then went straight to the international airport.
This time Ye Fan left very full, leaving only half a day for himself to say goodbye.
Li Ruoxin and Dong Yuejun were very reluctant to leave, but they couldn't follow them.
They watched Mark leave, looked at each other, and sighed together.
Ye Fan took a taxi to the international airport, and Annie had been waiting at T1 for a long time.
"Ye, the plane leaves in half an hour, let's hurry up."
Annie carried a large suitcase, pulled Ye Fan forward and ran to the ticket gate.
When she saw that Ye Fan was empty-handed and didn't bring anything, she was suddenly surprised: "Where is your luggage?"
"I don't need those things." Ye Fan laughed.
The two took their tickets, passed the security check, and entered the international flight.
Anne booked first class. The seats were very comfortable and the service was excellent.
More than ten hours passed quickly, and the plane arrived at noon in the morning.
When we walked out of the airport, the sky outside was completely dark, but the streets were quite lively, with an endless stream of taxis and buses taking advantage of the opportunity.
Ye Fan is proficient in several languages. Although Italian is not one of the international languages, he has dabbled in it and basic communication is not a big problem.
He originally planned to show it off in front of Anne, but unexpectedly two Bentleys suddenly heard four strong men in black getting out of the car in front of Anne.
Two of the strong men opened the rear left door of the first Bentley and helped a trembling old man out.
The old man was leaning on a cane and looking at Anne with a smile on his face. When Ye Fan saw this, he was about to step forward and call "uncle". Unexpectedly, the other party actually bowed slightly to Anne and said respectfully: "Miss Anne, you are finally back!"
"Grandpa Norton." Annie stepped forward with a smile to support the old man, turned to Ye Fan and said: "Ye, this is Grandpa Norton, our housekeeper, who has watched me grow up since I was a child."
Norton turned to look at Ye Fan and nodded gently: "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry that the old man is too old to salute you..."
"Where is it! Hello, Mr. Norton!" Ye Fan behaved politely, without any arrogance because he was a master of martial arts.
"Mr. Ye, please get in the car. We are going back now." Norton chuckled and said, "The journey is a bit long. If you feel tired, you can rest in the car."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black opened the door of a Bentley behind him and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Fan.
The host and guest were different, so Ye Fan would not share a car with Norton and Annie.
"Mr. Norton, how far are we from the Gulton family's castle?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
"About one hundred and twenty kilometers, but we did not go to the castle today. Instead, we lived in a small town manor thirty kilometers outside the castle." Norton returned.
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you then." Ye Fan nodded and smiled.
"Mr. Ye, please get in the car. It's getting late."
"good."
"Ye, let's meet at the manor." Annie waved to Ye Fan and got into the first Bentley.
The two cars started in front of each other.
Ye Fan was sitting in the back seat, with a strong man in black sitting next to him.
He was bored, so he found a conversation and asked: "Friend, what's your surname..."
"Huh?" The strong man in black didn't expect Ye Fan to be so fluent in Italian, and was stunned. "In response to Mr. Ye, my name is Arecio."
"Alessio, I have a few questions to ask you." Ye Fan smiled, "About the Gulton family. Don't worry, it's not a very secret thing!"
"Oh, okay." The strong man in black nodded angrily.
"When she came here, Anne said that he was a descendant of the Earl. I would like to know which generation of Earl Gulton is Anne? What is her father's name, and what is her relationship with the current Earl?"
Ye Fan said slowly.
The strong man in black thought for a while and answered one by one.
"Miss Anne is the 32nd generation descendant of Earl Gulton. Her father's name is Noah Gulton. She and the current Earl of Bensey Gulton are uncle and nephew."
"That's it..." Ye Fan understood, "So, Miss Anne wants to call Count Gulton her grandpa?"
"You can say that."
"Is there anyone alive above Count Bensai Gulton?" Ye Fan asked again.
The strong man in black shook his head, "The old Earl passed away three years ago, and Earl Bansay inherited the title. He is now the oldest person in the Gulton family...
Oh, there are also some descendants of the Gulton family scattered in other places, and there may be some who are older than him."
"Those branches don't count." Ye Fan waved his hand with a smile, and then asked: "Alessio, can I ask if the death of the old earl was caused by the enemies of the Gulton family?"
"This..." The strong man in black hesitated, lowered his head and thought for a while, then whispered: "Actually, this is not a secret. As long as Mr. Ye asks about it, he will naturally find out.
In that case, let me tell you...yes!"
"..."
There were several black lines hanging on Ye Fan's forehead.
What the hell are you talking about? How many times do you have to go around to get a one-word answer?
"Mr. Ye, do you have anything else to ask?"
At first, the strong man in black thought that masters like Ye Fan were cold and domineering warriors. Unexpectedly, he had such a good personality. He felt less stressed and his tone became much more relaxed.
"Tell me about what's going on in the castle!"
Ye Fan actually already has a certain understanding of the monsters in Gulton Castle.
Every once in a while, there will be a few people missing from the castle, and there will be no bones left, as if the world has disappeared.
According to the normal movie trend, the monster is definitely not a human being, but should be some kind of mutated creature.
As for alien creatures, such as the four-eyed dragon are unlikely.
After all, the Four-Eyed Dragon said that the demon clan is actually not very interested in human flesh. Even if they want to eat it, it will only absorb the warrior's physical source core or spiritual source core.
And the people who disappeared in Gulton Castle, whether warriors or ordinary people, all met the same end.
It can be seen from this that that thing is not very intelligent, but just longs for flesh and blood.
However, what kind of creature can actually capture a warrior five or six times the limit without anyone noticing? This is a bit scary!
Ye Fan hopes to get some more detailed information from Arecio.
After all, it had been almost a month since Anne went to China, and she was already lagging behind in terms of intelligence.
As soon as Arecio heard Ye Fan talk about the castle, his expression changed. He looked at Ye Fan up and down, and then asked in a low voice after a while: "Mr. Ye, do you really have nine times the ultimate strength?"
"Haha, it doesn't look like it?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"It's not like that." Arecio smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am forty years old this year, and I have been practicing martial arts since I was eight years old, but now I have only reached the triple limit, not even the quadruple limit.
Half a month ago, a friend of Earl Bansay went to the castle to investigate. He is a master of eight times the limit and is already ninety years old..."
"Alessio, I am a genius!" Ye Fan laughed and asked: "Then what? Your friend of the count, did you find anything in the investigation?"
"No...no." Arecio scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "The master of eight times the limit has been missing for a long time, and we haven't found anything."
"Nothing found?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
"Yes, there are only a few pools of blood left in the corridor." Arecio replied angrily.
"Blood stains?" Ye Fan frowned, "Have you checked the blood stains?"
"After checking, it was all the blood of the eight-fold ultimate master. There were no traces of any other person or creature left. There was not even a fight scene."
"So exaggerated?" Ye Fan took a breath of air.
If this is the case, that mysterious creature must have killed this warrior who was eight times the limit with one blow.
"Mr. Ye, I think that monster... probably advanced by devouring flesh and blood." Arecio said in a deep voice: "If it is allowed to grow, I am afraid that even a warrior who is nine times the limit will not be its opponent!"
"Well, it's very possible." Ye Fan agreed with Arecio's idea, and then asked: "How many surveillance systems are there in the castle?"
"There are a total of more than 860 surveillance cameras. Only more than 300 of them are still working. The others have been damaged by high magnetic field interference." Arecio said.
"So, that monster also has the ability to interfere with magnetic fields?" Ye Fan touched his chin, feeling increasingly weird.
"Um."
The two of them didn't stop talking along the way.
Ye Fan not only asked about the castle, but also asked about some information about Annie's family.
Arecio is the guard of the castle, not the bodyguard of Anne's family. There was a reason for this incident, so they were transferred from the castle to protect the safety of Anne's family at Gulton Manor on the outskirts of the town.
Ye Fan finally had a systematic understanding of the Gulton family.
After that, he asked very vaguely about the secret realm of the Gulton family, but Arecio was a little confused, as if he didn't understand.
It didn't look like he was acting, so Ye Fan stopped asking.
The two cars drove for more than an hour and passed through a small town.
It was already very late, and the town was quiet and peaceful. The occasional barking of cats and dogs could break the tranquility of the town.
After passing through the town and driving for another ten minutes, we entered a large manor.
Before Ye Fan came, he had already learned that this manor has nearly 400 acres of land, of which 80 acres are for gardens, villas, and entertainment facilities, which is about the size of seven or eight football fields.
The remaining more than 300 acres are undeveloped mountain forests, which are also within the scope of manor and private territory.
There are more than 160 staff members in the entire estate, including chefs, drivers, cleaners, maids, etc. The total annual expenditure on the estate is approximately 15 million euros...
Ye Fan couldn't help but be speechless.
It only cost over 100 million to renovate the ancestral home of the Ye family into a forest garden.
The Gulton family can build an ancestral house with a year's expenditure on any manor.
