Chapter 1312 I really don't treat me as an outsider
The old housekeeper led Lin Tian underground. It was so dark that even the kerosene lamp could not lighten it.
Lin Tian frowned slightly, but still followed.
Opening the cellar door, you are greeted by a damp, salty smell.
Lin Tian wanted to see how the old butler wanted to play.
At the end of the stairs, there was a door. The old housekeeper stopped, took out the key from his pocket, and opened the door.
Dust rose in the air, smelling of moths.
Lin Tian saw that this was a study room, with many books on the shelves and on the table.
These books look very old, and some of them are even made of parchment.
The old butler with difficulty pulled out an ancient box from under the table.
Open the box and there are books inside.
The old housekeeper took out a few books, dusted them off, and handed them to Lin Tian.
"Mr. Charles, these are the notepads of the previous owners of this castle. You can take a look and maybe you can find some clues in them."
Lin Tian glanced at the old butler several times and felt that this old butler was not simple.
In his concept, these servants trained under the traditional system are very loyal to their masters and will not reveal their master's secrets to outsiders casually.
Maybe this old housekeeper cherishes his life, fearing that Lin Tian will kill him.
Lin Tian doesn't want to care about the thoughts of so many old butlers now. He needs to find out where Lewis's lair is and seize the time to read what these diaries say.
He sat on the table and started reading with the flashlight of his cell phone.
The old housekeeper sat on the stairs, with the kerosene lamp beside him, his head propped up on his elbows, and he began to doze off.
Lin Tian couldn't laugh or cry.
If you let your guard down so much, you really don't treat me as an outsider.
He was not afraid of the old butler's tricks and asked Xiao Qi to pay attention to his actions and concentrate on flipping through the notepad.
The handwriting on it is easy to read. In the past, people wrote in a precise manner, especially this kind of educated aristocrat.
With Lin Tian's level of English, he could understand it. It took him half an hour to read it, and he summarized some key points.
It turns out that this castle has a history of more than 200 years and has experienced four owners. Each owner's name was Robert.
Because this is the ancestral precept that they must abide by, and these masters are all related by blood.
They are all false vampires, that is, patients with blood porphyria.
This disease is hereditary, and people who have this disease are monsters if they live outside.
The first owner of the castle made a will and selected the descendants of his family suffering from porphyria and left the castle to them.
Firstly, it is to allow them to live peacefully in the castle, and secondly, it is to allow them to enjoy the respected status of vampires.
The purpose of using the same name is to create the illusion that this vampire named Robert has lived for a long time, adding to the legend.
The portraits Lin Tian saw in the corridor were indeed named Robert, but they were not of the same person, but photos of four generations of owners at different times.
They will find a professional retoucher to slightly modify their appearance to look similar to the current Robert.
Everyone who entered the castle immediately saw the dazzling antique car, and then were shocked by the portraits in the corridor, which made them convinced of Robert's identity as a vampire.
"This can be faked, I really believe it."
However, the car was genuine. The first Robert used to be a pirate, robbed a lot of gold and silver treasures, turned over part of it, and was knighted.
The car is used by him to pick up customers. Needless to say, most of the customers are beautiful virgins.
Every few days, they will find suitable candidates in the surrounding villages, give them some benefits, and use the mysterious color of vampires to confuse them, so that a large number of people flock to them.
When people arrived, Robert would make them drink beetroot juice, add some medicine in it, and make them hallucinate and obey his orders.
Blood-sucking rituals are held at twelve o'clock at night.

Blood-sucking rituals are held at twelve o'clock at night.
This is the rule, at this point in time, to accept the sacrifice of virgin blood.
These secrets must be kept, as once they are leaked, Robert will be disqualified from inheriting the castle.
When he saw this sentence, Lin Tian looked at the old housekeeper in surprise.
Didn't the notepads the old butler showed him reveal Robert's secrets?
The old housekeeper ignored him and took a nap against the door frame, just like a sleepy old man.
Lin Tian searched for a long time, but couldn't find anything about real vampires.
He discovered something in one of Robert's notebooks. Robert would faint and fall unconscious on the night of the sacrifice. When he woke up in the morning, Robert found the marks of teeth on the wrists of the girls.
On a whim, he tried on the dentures he was wearing and found that the marks were different in size from the spacing of his dentures.
He had suspected that someone had sneaked in during the time he fainted.
However, he had no memory of the night.
That Robert was unable to solve this mystery until his death.
Now to Lin Tian, the answer is self-evident, just like what he saw tonight, there is a real vampire oriole behind him.
The teeth marks left on the girls' hands were left by real vampires.
Lin Tian also found a note from Robert that mentioned that he had seen bats many times at the sacrifice site.
However, in the mountain forest where the castle is located, bats often fly by, but he doesn't take it seriously.
The appearance of bats made those who offered sacrifices more convinced of their identities.
After looking over and over again, Lin Tian couldn't find any other useful information.
