August was obviously hesitant about Vivian's suggestion. He was used to living alone, living in isolation, keeping his own secrets, and constantly changing identities one after another - he had been a businessman, a farmer, a hunter,
Prisoner, soldier, even smuggler, and each identity will not last more than twenty or thirty years. Now that he is going to Andre Castle, everything will change. He is not ready to integrate with ordinary people again.
Prepare.
"Mistress, I'm sorry," August stood up and bent down to Vivian slightly uneasily, "I...I'm not ready yet. People in the Andre family may not be able to accept me like this.
I am afraid that most human beings cannot accept the immortality. They can accept that a witch or wizard has lived from the Middle Ages to today, but it is difficult to accept such an ordinary person. I..."
"Oh, I didn't think it through well," Vivian nodded, "Then will you continue to live like this?"
"I'm used to it," August forced a smile. "It's not that difficult to cycle through life and death. Wizards who seek forbidden power can also live well. I will continue to work with An.
The Andre family will keep in touch, or they may move to a new home for a new environment. In any case, that voice has left, and there will be no worse days in the future."
Vivian looked at this human being who had gained immortality, pondered silently, and then suddenly waved her hand to summon a little bat: "Paul, stretch out your hand, I want to take some precautions for the future."
Even though August was confused, he did not hesitate. He stretched out his left hand, and Vivian's little bat quickly flew over and bit out a small scar on his arm. August frowned. He found that there was a scratch on his arm.
A few faint black lines spread, then faded and disappeared.
"It is not necessarily a good thing for a short-lived species to live too long without supervision. Immortality requires special talent and willpower. I will not allow my servants to do things that make me lose face. This blood will protect you.
.If you meet one of my descendants or other blood clans related to me in the future, it will also help you prove your identity and give you the right to talk to them on an equal footing. But it will also monitor you - Paul,
Don't do anything to disappoint me. If one day you can't stand this eternal life, it's best to end it yourself. I don't want to know from the news of blood that you have degenerated into a monster."
August's face changed slightly, but in the end he nodded calmly: "Your foresight is necessary, and I will not let down the blood you gave me."
"Don't worry, Paul," Vivian laughed, "I'm not a voyeur, and I have no interest in monitoring other people's every move: it will only call the police when you are mentally disturbed, which will do you more harm than good. And... it also...
It can cure your 'bleeding' by the way. You can feel more relaxed every time you approach the sixty-year-old mark."
August: "..."
The group said goodbye to August, and when they came outside the wooden house, Hao Ren touched Vivian's arm with a subtle tone: "Speaking of which, you had a very strong aura just now. I have never seen you so elegant.
when."
"Is there any?" Vivian looked confused, then lowered her head and continued to study the exquisitely structured wooden box in her hand. It was the one that contained the "stone" before. "To be honest, I'm quite curious about this..."
"What are you curious about?" Hao Ren had already taken the two rocks and was throwing them around. "Isn't it just an empty box now?"
"Paul said that I deliberately gave this to him back then. He also specifically told me to keep it properly because I would come to pick it up one day." Vivian turned over and over to study the wooden box. "This shows that I valued this thing very much back then.
Important - but now I have no impression at all."
Lily looked at the wooden box and thought: "It must be because of poverty."
Hao Ren looked at her sideways: "Can this be related to poverty?"
"Look at how delicate this box is. This thing might have been worth a lot of money back then. Judging from how poor Bat was back then, it is estimated that this is the most valuable thing she has on hand. She must let the servants keep it safe. It is more valuable than a piece of stone.
It’s much more important.”
"If it is such an important thing, why don't I just keep it with me? Instead, let someone else take care of it?"
"Because you are going to take a nap," Lily glanced at Vivian, "Maybe you are not sleeping well and are afraid of being crushed, or maybe you are afraid that you will completely forget what this box is for when you wake up.
Then you sold it or broke it - so you gave it to your servant and repeatedly emphasized that this is important, so that if you have a chance to find Lekih's descendants in the future, even if you forget that the box is dry
Well, at least someone will remind you that this thing is important, so you won't be so poor that you just take it for money."
Nangong Wuyue looked at Lily blankly: "...Okay, I can't tell that your logical thinking is so rigorous."
Lily put her hands on her hips, and there seemed to be a tail swaying behind her: "How many times have I told you, I'm smart!"
Vivian rarely agreed with Lily this time: "The big dog may be right, this thing must have a special meaning... I asked the servant to help keep it, because I must have foreseen that I would forget the meaning of the box.
I will study it carefully when I get back."
"Before that, we have to study carefully whether these two stones are the 'keys' to open the door to the angry spirits." Hao Ren put the two ancient devices into his pocket, "Terminal, teleportation - I hope Igor is ready."
Had lunch.”
Andrei Castle is celebrating its first peaceful and peaceful day in three hundred years. The servants are happily running up and down cleaning all the corners of the castle. Every window has been wiped sparklingly.
The portraits of Andre's ancestors from successive generations also revealed more brilliant colors after being wiped away from the dust. Even the zombie-faced housekeeper and the gloomy old servant in the yard were doing their own thing with a smile.
Igor stood in the hall and watched the servants prepare today's sumptuous lunch. Standing next to him were his two children. Anna and Akeem were not in very good health, but even Akeem, who was in the worst condition, persisted.
To walk around the castle: the poor young man who had been locked up all year long no longer wanted to be locked up in that little cage.
"Dad, will those masters come back?" Anna looked at her father.
Igor smiled shyly: "Yes, they have magical magic and can travel to and from all over the world instantly - Anna, remember to bow when you see the witch next time. Our entire family is built on..."
Before Igor finished speaking, the space around him suddenly distorted, and then a white light appeared out of thin air, and Vivian's voice came from the white light: "I told you not to be so nervous about the Witch Legend.
It’s not like he can eat people.”
Igor was startled and rushed to greet him. Vivian waved her hand: "I can't stand such troublesome etiquette - the second stone has been obtained, and we will start studying the evil spirit gate.
"
Igor asked cautiously: "May I ask about the Lekihe family..."
"August? He's very good," Vivian nodded, "but he doesn't plan to come to meet you. The curse of the evil spirit has ended, and he plans to start a new life. Your 'two families' will
You don’t have to worry about this.”
"It's just like a dream." Igor sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Lily stared at the sumptuous lunch on the long table, her tongue almost unable to move back. Even though Hao Ren was pulling her collar from behind, she still kept running forward: "Eat, eat, eat... I want to eat!
I want to eat!"
As soon as Hao Ren let go, he watched Lily sweep to the dining table like a whirlwind: These idiots have probably never seen such a grand banquet in their lives. The intellectuals of the Republic of China must still not be able to follow this kind of three-hundred-year-old banquet.
The old wealthy people are richer...
After lunch, Hao Ren didn't waste any time, but took people directly to the underground of the castle to study the crack.
This time Igor, his two children and several old servants followed him to the entrance of the underground palace. The iron door that separated the human world and the otherworld no longer had hoarfrost spreading on it. After the cold atmosphere dissipated, it looked at
Just like an ordinary door. Igor looked at the darkness behind the iron door in awe: "Is there another world below?"
"It's another space, in the gap between the real world," Vivian mouthed towards the dark and deep corridor inside, "Actually, if you plan to go in, it's not impossible. After all, the evil spirit is gone. It's just the best time to go in.
It's best to set up enough lights and rest stops along the way. The vastness inside is beyond your imagination, and it's as cold as the snowfield outside. Once you get lost there, you won't be able to come back alive."
Igor shrank his neck: "Please stop joking, who dares to enter a place like this?"
What he didn't notice was that when he said this, Anna next to him was looking steadily at the darkness, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Anna remembered the things that the angry spirit had whispered in her mind before, and some of the information seemed to be helpful. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
