To Chen Le, working together is no different than fighting alone.
In less than three seconds, six people rolled to the ground, wailing in pain.
Chen Le ignored these people and walked straight forward.
Not long after, an old man in a tuxedo came forward. He was gentle and elegant, with a smile on his face, just like a kind old grandfather.
Chen Le had seen this person in the information. He was not old William, but the steward of the castle in front of him, Tom.
"A distinguished guest is here. The Baron invites you."
Tom was very polite, but he stood in the middle of the road and made no move to politely invite him in. But this old Mr. Tom spoke in very authentic Chinese dialect.
Chen Le looked at Tom thoughtfully, asking but not inviting him. What does this mean?
It seems that this castle is really a strange place.
Chen Le naturally didn't think that the other party would have any tricks. The other party was already fighting first and then paying homage, so he naturally wanted to follow suit. Besides, no matter what, he wanted to enter the castle today.
Because he has the feeling that Xiao Bei is inside.
After Chen Le walked in, and he could almost count the wrinkles on Old Tom's face, Old Tom bowed slightly and made an invitation gesture to Chen Le.
There is still a long way to go, it will take about five or six minutes.
Old Tom led the way, and Chen Le followed behind.
The two of them were not familiar with each other, so naturally they had nothing to say.
Not long after, there was a row of iron fences in front of them, which were more than three meters high. From the faint electric light emitted from above, it could be seen that the iron fences were electrified. A spider climbed up unintentionally, and suddenly turned into a spider with a puff.
ash.
The castle is a very ancient castle in the West. Its style is similar to those in TV series and movies, with tall spires, round stone pillars, etc.
Chen Le was not interested in seeing these, but he still took a few more glances.
There is no doubt that this is a good place. If you get old and tired and can't move anymore, this kind of place is really good as a place to retire and return to the fields.
The door is an electronic door, and Old Tom opens it with his fingerprint.
After entering, there is another door. This place is more strict and guarded by dedicated personnel armed with thermal weapons.
Chen Le had Old Tom leading the way, so it was easy to get in. Chen Le was also thinking about a question. According to the way he came in, the owner of the castle would not consider him a friend, so how could he let himself in so easily?
Could it be that you are despising yourself and thinking that you are not capable of doing anything extraordinary?
Maybe that's true.
If that is true.
Climb the stone stairs and turn to the second floor. On the corridor, famous paintings are hung at regular intervals on the walls. Chen Le can't name them, but he sees a few works worth tens of millions or more that are circulating outside.
Westerners are rich!
The floor is carpet, and it's soft when you step on it, like stepping on the beach.
Westerners just know how to enjoy it!
There is a buttery smell in the air. However, Chen Le has always disliked this smell, so when he went on missions abroad, he rarely ate the things that these countries considered essential every day.
After turning several turns and turning several corridors, I finally came to a place similar to a study.
The castle is very ancient, and even now it retains the ancient style. This is not only the exterior of the castle, but the decoration of the study has probably not changed much. Even the firewood display windows are used here, but there is no fire.
That’s all.
Entering this room, Chen Le saw the old man sitting in the study.
The old man's appearance seems a little rickety, and there are not many hairs left on the top of his head, which is very sparse. There is a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. If you don't look carefully, you will think that he is the reincarnation of Einstein. Apart from his hair, there is nothing
More than Einstein.
He is old William, and Tom does not need to introduce him. Only old William can sit here.
When Chen Le saw old William, his first feeling was that vampires shouldn't be so old, or that vampires never age at all. Does this mean that old William is not a vampire?
Chen Le was not sure.
After Tom brought him into the room, he returned to William's side without introducing anything. Old William was holding a magnifying glass and hunched over as if looking at something on the table.
Chen Le took a glance and saw that this was an ancient map. Because a large area on this map belonged to China. At that time, the territory of West China almost extended to the Middle East. It was indeed an ancient map.
Chen Le was very unhappy when he invited himself in and was pushed aside.
Old William raised his head at this time and glanced at Chen Le. Then he glanced at Chen Le again, then put down the magnifying glass in his hand and motioned to Tom to put away the ancient map.
"Looking at your temperament, you shouldn't be a Japanese." Old William didn't look very good physically, but his walking was not bad. He walked out with a cane, looked at Chen Le up and down, and said.
Like Sam, old William also speaks Chinese, and it is very standard. If it weren't for his appearance, you would think that the person who spoke this was an authentic Chinese capital person.
"Of course I'm not a Japanese, I'm Chinese." Chen Le replied with a smile.
Old William nodded and said: "That's right, only Chinese people can be so majestic and domineering."
Chen Le didn't know why Old William would evaluate himself in this way.
"There is an old saying in China: Those who are not kind will not come. Tell me young man, what are you doing in this old man's castle?" Before Chen Le could say anything, old William returned to the other side with his cane.
He sat down on a chair, as if he couldn't stand for too long and would be very tired.
Chen Le didn't waste any time and said directly: "A friend of mine has disappeared. According to my investigation, I suspect that she is in your castle."
Old William looked back at Sam and asked: "Sam, my old friend, are there new guests in our castle?"
Tom glanced at Chen Le, then bowed in front of old William and said: "Some time ago, a guest came to the house, but I don't know if he is a friend of this gentleman."
Old William nodded and asked: "Is this guest still in the castle?"
"Maybe, maybe not," Tom answered.
As the master and servant asked and answered questions, Chen Le was a little confused about what kind of medicine these two people were selling in the gourd.
What does maybe be or maybe not mean?
"Actually, I'm here to find little William." Chen Le interrupted at the right time. He didn't want the master and servant to forget his existence due to their drama.
Old William raised his eyelids and said, "Is that guy back?"
Chen Le knew that this old guy was not talking to him.
Sam nodded and said, "Yes, I've been back for a few days."
"Then why doesn't he come to see me?" Old William was a little unhappy and moved his fingers holding the crutch.
Sam did not answer the question, but said: "Lord Baron, if this gentleman's friend is the guest in the castle, then this gentleman's friend should be brought back by little William."
Chen Le didn't believe that old William didn't know that little William had returned. Although the castle was very big, was there anything in the castle that could be hidden from its owner?
Obviously, this old guy is pretending to be stunned!
You keep pretending!
In fact, Chen Le was also sizing up the old man. What he was looking at was not his appearance, but sensing whether there was anything special about this old man.
But the result that Chen Le got was that old William was indeed an ordinary person, he was on the verge of death, and he had no more than two years to live.
How could such a person be a vampire?
impossible.
At this time, old William said: "More than fifty years ago, I went to China once and met a Taoist priest named Gu. You should be Taoist priests there, but here we should call them fortune tellers. He said that in fifty years he will
An Eastern man found me."
When Chen Le heard this, he trembled all over and looked directly at old William.
Old William turned a blind eye to Chen Le's sharp gaze and continued: "He said that I have children in my old age. I only had little William when I was forty-eight years old. This proved to be true. He said that in fifty-eight years an Eastern man will come to find him."
It also worked for me. Young man, do you believe there is a God in this world? No, according to you Chinese people, it should be that you believe there are so-called gods in this world?"
Chen Le didn't know how to proceed. Because the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectation. In fact, he never thought that he would talk to old William so quietly.
"Actually, I don't believe it, even if someone once said that my ancestors were descended from a vampire family." Old William continued to throw out the fierce information, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am also thinking about why my ancestors are vampires and I am not a vampire. I
My father is also dead, so why is he not a vampire? My grandfather is also dead, so he is not a vampire. Aren’t vampires immortal?”
Old William seemed to be talking to himself, and after a while he said: "I am not a vampire, but there is indeed a vampire in my family."
Chen Le's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Old man, what exactly do you want to say?"
Old William laughed again, very bitterly and helplessly. He took a serious look at Chen Le and said slowly: "Five years ago, my son, also known as Little William as you call me, had a quarrel with me. At that time
I was very angry, so I beat him and had him locked in a secret room in the castle. Who knew, this would become the beginning of a nightmare."
"What nightmare?" For some reason, Chen Le became interested in Old William's story and even asked.
Old William's eyes suddenly became clear and he said coldly: "My son found a passage in the secret room, which is a basement. In the basement is a coffin, and inside the coffin is a sleeping vampire!"
This is a story.
Chen Le felt a chill on his back. Is what old William said true?
really?
"Don't be surprised, what I said is the truth." Old William saw that Chen Le looked wrong and said: "In addition to the coffin and the vampire, there was also a book in the secret room, which recorded the history of the William family. At that time
I just discovered that I am not a member of the William family, nor are my ancestors. We were just replaced by a random family after being purged by the Holy See. The former William family was indeed a vampire family.
Destroyed by the Holy See."
"If what you said is true, then why are there vampires in this castle?" Chen Le didn't know why, but he actually believed it.
Old William shook his head and said: "I don't know, but my son awakened this vampire. My son also became a vampire. The story is like this, very simple."
"This is not like a story, but more like a joke." Chen Le said with a frown.
Old William was silent for a few seconds and sighed: "I hope you are really the person he said, the person who can save this castle."
"He? Who?" Chen Le was puzzled.
Old William replied: "As I said just now, he is the person with the ancient surname that I met in China fifty years ago."
antiquity!
It’s ancient again!
Chen Le hadn't reacted before. When he heard Old William's words again, he felt as if there were thousands of ants crawling in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable all over. Why did everything seem to be related to the Gu family? What was going on with the Gu family?
!
Chen Le suppressed the irritability in his heart and asked, "What did that person say?"
