The fat man curled his lips disdainfully and said: "The noodle-sucker is afraid of garlic? That's ridiculous. The human who made up this boring story must have bad breath. As for the cross, I have been to church so many times, how can I be afraid of the cross? Well, the sun,
We do hate the sun, but we can’t say we’re afraid of it.”
"I understand, how long is the average lifespan of a vampire?"
The fat man said: "Except for our ancestors who are immortal, the rest of the royal family can live between 150 and 300 years depending on their strength. As for low-level vampires like me, they can live to be 111 to 20 years old.
I have to thank my ancestors."
"Very good, last question, do you know where Hun Jie is now?"
The fat man shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." As an expected answer, Zhou Jian threw the blood bottle in his hand to the fat man, then turned to look at the Yin Ying man who was seriously injured and fell in the corner, and pointed at him.
, said to the fat man: "I think you can consider going over now to drain that guy's blood, if you don't want what happened just now to happen again..."
He said and left the cell. He temporarily spared Fatty's life. After all, it was not easy to catch such a vampire who knew everything and talked about everything. It would be a pity to kill him. He planned to think of something in the future.
Come over and ask this guy again.
Although he knew the origin and function of the hun ring, Zhou Jian still knew nothing about its whereabouts.
It was obviously impossible for a low-level vampire like the middle-aged fat man to know such high-level information. He was considering whether to capture a royal vampire and come back to ask.
However, the royal vampires are very powerful and they are on the opponent's territory. It is not easy to catch one.
Southeast Texas faces the Gulf of Mexico. During the catastrophes of the last century, Mexico suffered considerable losses, as did most low-latitude countries because they have or are close to tropical rainforests.
Today's Mexico is similar to Brazil, with a weak government and a turbulent society. Bounty hunters in this country are as legendary and romantic as the American western cowboys in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Because of social instability and the government's annual fiscal deficit, sometimes leasing territory is used to obtain sufficient funds. There is such an island in the Gulf of Mexico, covering an area of more than 20 square kilometers. It was used at the beginning of this century.
The Mexican government leased it to the British hereditary noble Earl Nicholas for a period of ninety-nine years.
On this island, there is a group of villas imitating the European medieval architectural style. Among the villa groups, there is a huge gray castle, which is the residence of Count Nicholas.
The castle is built on a mountain. Behind the mountain is a natural harbor where several luxury yachts are moored. On one side of the harbor are several amphibians with small amphibious aircraft and helicopters parked on them.
At dusk, a helicopter roared and landed from the sky. When the helicopter door opened, a lady wearing a white top hat stepped out of the plane. Her luxurious dress was lifted high by the wind caused by the spinning propellers.
.
There were already four men waiting for her on the tarmac. They were wearing neat suits, and when the lady got off the plane, they greeted her and saluted her.
"Madam, the count is already waiting for you in the castle." The man nodded and followed the four of them into the extended Lincoln parked aside. Then the car started and drove slowly towards the villa area.
After the car disappeared behind the scenes, Zhou Jian, who had been hiding behind the helicopter, slowly walked out. He had been hanging on the helicopter's landing gear in an invisible state for a while and took a free flight.
He learned about this gathering place for vampires yesterday from a middle-aged fat man. He was planning to go here when he accidentally spotted this helicopter going to the island at the Houston pier, so Zhou Jian was naturally happy to take it.
Of course, even if he didn't have this helicopter, he could buy a GPS locator and swim over, but it would only take a lot of effort.
According to the middle-aged fat man, Count Nicholas who lives on this small island is a member of the royal family among vampires. He is also a member of the vampire House of Lords. He also has a wife who is also a member of the royal family, and a seventeen-year-old daughter.
.
Zhou Jian guessed that Count Nicholas should know a lot of things, so he thought twice and decided to come here to investigate. If possible, he wanted to kidnap Count Nicholas.
Of course, this is unlikely.
Although the youngest daughter of Earl Nicholas is also from the royal family, her strength is basically negligible. Zhou Jian is more afraid of Mrs. Nicholas. As far as he knows, adult royal vampires usually have A2 level strength, which is what China calls middle-level heaven-level vampires.
position, some of the best may have A3 level or even higher strength.
Since Count Nicholas is a member of the House of Lords, his strength should be good, maybe even higher. It is not easy to deal with him alone, not to mention his wife and a lot of people on the island.
Other vampires.
I am afraid that all the vampires who can live here are not mediocre. Sometimes, some vampires who are not pure in blood but have outstanding talents and practice diligently will be stronger than the royal family, such as the two who went to China to kidnap Wenren Huiyin.
Vampires are not a royal family, but their strength has reached the heaven level.
Zhou Jian has been sneaking, slowly approaching the villa area. He is just going to survey the terrain tonight and will try to take action during the day tomorrow.
The reason for choosing to do it during the day is because the pale skin of vampires cannot stand the sun's exposure, just like albinism among humans, so they like to go out at night. Of course, the dark night has no effect on their vision.
If possible, Zhou Jian would choose to directly hold Count Nicholas or his wife hostage. If that didn't work, he would settle for installing some bugs in the castle to see if he could collect any valuable intelligence.
The sun sets quickly. The isolated island in the sea is rarely polluted by light sources, so the night here is very dark. Under the night, the castle is like a black giant beast, looking gloomy and strange.
Zhou Jian came outside the castle wall. The wall was made of bluestone, and the stones were covered with dense vines. The gate was a European-style garden iron gate decorated with various metal patterns. Zhou Jian jumped lightly and
After climbing over the wall, we came to the gate of the castle.
The gate of the castle was open, and there were two vampires in tuxedos and bow ties standing at the door. Zhou Jian walked directly in. There was a long corridor at the entrance, and at the end of the corridor was another door. Walking into it,
Facing you is the first floor hall of the castle.
The hall covers an area of several hundred square meters. On one side of the hall is a long spiral staircase with exquisite keywork patterns, antique oak floors, and on the other side is a tall fireplace.
The ground is covered with luxurious handmade camel carpets, and around the carpets are mahogany sofas covered with vermilion leather. Sitting on the sofas are groups of richly dressed noble gentlemen, who are holding goblets and smiling.
While chatting, every move was elegant. Of course, they are all vampires.
Zhou Jian just walked in invisible, his aura calmed down, and no one noticed his presence.
These vampires were obviously holding some kind of banquet. Zhou Jian listened for a while and found nothing valuable to say, so he quietly went upstairs to find the owner of the castle, Count Nicholas.
Walking up the spiral staircase to the second floor, you are facing a long corridor, decorated with murals and European columns on both sides. There is a room every four or five meters, and the door is always closed.
Zhou Jian did not dare to use the mental force field. Instead, he concentrated all his energy on his hearing and listened carefully. He walked from room to room without any movement, so Zhou Jian came to the third floor.
This time, as soon as he stepped out of the stairs, he heard a vaguely beautiful female voice. He had the impression that this voice was the voice of the noble lady who was flying in the helicopter.
The voice said: "Count Nicholas, are you satisfied with the conditions given by Mr. Reinhardt?"
"Sorry, I can't answer that."
Then a man's voice came, probably Count Nicholas.
Zhou Jian walked over to the sound and quickly found the room they were in. Although it was only separated by a door, the sound of their conversation was a bit blurry. Obviously the sound insulation effect of this room was very good. You must know that Zhou Jian's hearing bonus is 20.
If other ancient martial arts masters came here, it would be difficult to detect this inaudible sound.
"Mr. Nicholas, if you feel that the conditions are not generous enough, you can propose other conditions."
The man said: "This is not a question of whether the conditions are generous enough. I cannot betray my tribe."
The woman said: "This is not a betrayal, but a new life for your vampire clan. Do you want to give up this great opportunity for a corpse?"
The man said: "Sorry, with all due respect, I don't know you, so I can't trust you."
"Haha" a series of laughs came from the room. "Then what does the earl think can be regarded as "understanding?"
The woman deliberately emphasized the word "understand". After saying this, she gently opened the tie at the back of her dress. As the dress hung down, her beautiful and proud figure was immediately revealed.
.
The woman slowly touched Nicholas's hand and said, "Dear Earl, do you want to try to understand me?"
Nicholas glanced at the woman and said, "Sorry madam, I don't have this interest at the moment."
Following Nicholas' cold voice, the smile on the woman's face suddenly froze. She was a little angry, but she suppressed her anger in the end, put on her clothes angrily, and said coldly: "Mr. Nicholas, do you think that corpse and
What significance does that ring have to you vampires besides being a symbol of totem belief?"
When the woman said this, Zhou Jian, who was eavesdropping outside the door, felt a slight movement in his heart. Ring?!
