[Zongmeiying] Soul Mate

Chapter 40 Cattleya

There were very few people in the airport today, but anyone who noticed them couldn't help but look at them covertly. Caius put his arms around Elizabeth's waist and ignored them without squinting, but Elizabeth couldn't help but want to move around. have a look.

In front of the information desk, a young mother took a cute little girl by the hand. She stared blankly at them while chewing her fingers. Elizabeth made a face at her, and she smiled shyly, hiding her round face until she was asking What's behind the mother.

They stopped almost in the middle of the hall, and two staff members in uniform greeted them with exaggerated smiles. Although they tried their best to cover up, Elizabeth could still see traces of excitement and tension on their faces. The leader The tall man in a suit and leather shoes didn't say anything, but nodded respectfully and carefully, and didn't try to shake Caius' hand.

"Everything has been arranged, my lord, your guards have boarded the plane and can take off immediately." Another man wearing a flight attendant uniform, a little shorter, said softly.

Caius nodded at him indifferently, then turned his face and asked Elizabeth, "Is there anything else to do before leaving, Lisa?"

"No more." Elizabeth looked up at Caius in confusion, suspecting that these two apparently human men also knew the identity of the Volturi.

"How many human employees do you have?" Elizabeth couldn't help asking in a low voice as they walked down the aisle holding hands.

Hearing her ask, Caius smiled slightly, "Much more than you can imagine, my dear."

"There are many people in this city who are our employees, and their knowledge of the existence of vampires is hereditary, and the intertwined relationships of generations can guarantee their loyalty."

At this time, Elizabeth remembered the scene she saw when she came to Volterra. The gray-haired gatekeeper was guarding an entrance into the Volterra underground palace.

"Won't other vampire families have any objections?" she asked curiously.

"Which vampire family dares to say that they don't have one or two human friends?" Caius replied indifferently, "No one dares to question us, let alone we have the ability of Aro and Marcus to guarantee them loyalty."

So the constant pressure on Bella to switch is simply because Karen and the others are not pleasing to the eye?Elizabeth felt a little funny, but didn't show it.

They didn't go through the security check, and went directly to the apron through the VIP passage. There was no plane on the long runway. They were all waiting for Volturi's private plane to take off first. Caius and Elizabeth had originally set off at sunset. The door, but now it is completely dark outside, only the lights of the ground staff and the sentry tower, like a huge stage, spread under their feet.

This plane is very beautiful. Elizabeth quickly walked up the gangway and looked around. Unlike ordinary private planes, the interior of this plane is more empty, the ground is covered with beautiful snow-white thick carpets, and a long pure white table with gold edges is placed on it. In the middle, there are a lot of her favorite things on the table, on both sides are benches against the inner wall of the plane, and there is a cabin in front, which is decorated like a traditional first-class cabin.

"We'll be there soon, about three hours." Caius held Elizabeth back into his arms, "Do you want to take a rest first?"

Elizabeth shook her head excitedly. This was her first time flying on a Volturi plane. The pilot was a guard she didn't know, and she was already waiting in the cockpit.

The doors of all the cabins have not been closed, which means that she can run around the entire cabin. Of course Elizabeth will not do this, but it is really interesting to watch other people fly, so she went to the cockpit first. , the guard sitting on the captain's chair nodded respectfully to her, and Caius waited connivingly at the long table for Elizabeth to explore the territory.

"Morgana and her father Jay learned to hang glider," Elizabeth said enthusiastically when she ran back, "I want to learn together, but grandpa thinks it's too dangerous."

"Do you want to learn?" Caius asked gently after hugging her lightly and straightening her messy hair.

"I like the feeling of flying," Elizabeth smiled. "I like roller coasters, pirate ships...anything that makes me feel free."

Caius was not in a hurry to answer, he first put Elizabeth on the table and let her sit down, then nodded solemnly, "Then learn, as long as you want." As long as he is by his side, Elizabeth can play these dangerous things sex toys.

While they were talking, the cabin door of the cockpit was closed, and the plane took off smoothly. Elizabeth hardly felt any vibration, but the sudden sense of rising reminded her. The lights are on, so the window glass is like a mirror, just reflecting the scene inside the cabin.

It’s not that she has never been on a plane at night. Elizabeth felt that there was nothing to see outside the window. She opened the luggage that Jaina had packed up on the plane last night, and found that there were all kinds of electronic products she used. Just no clothes or shoes.

"I don't bring daily necessities?" Elizabeth asked suspiciously.

"It's already been prepared," Caius picked up the mouse that fell on the ground for her, "I picked some new ones for you."

Okay, another new dress in the room, Elizabeth raised her eyebrows, and suddenly hoped that Morgana would not be an ordinary person at all. She was always willing to share the wardrobe with Morgana, and she didn't have friends with similar vision and taste. Give advice, it's too boring to try and pick clothes by yourself.

Now Elizabeth has nothing to do. She sat down honestly and picked an apple from the long table and gnawed for a while. She suddenly remembered that when Caius talked about herself before, she just thought about playing, and didn't ask the destination. Nowhere, so he looked up at Caius curiously.

"Where are we going?"

"Catelea." Now Caius was sitting on the long table, facing each other, and he answered her with a smile.

"Catelea?" Elizabeth repeated suspiciously. She had never heard of the reputation of this small island. Originally, Elizabeth thought they would go to an island like Ponsa, where Chia di Luna Beach has been famous since Roman times. Famous, or the Amalfi coast in southern Italy, I heard that there is pure limoncello there.

"Catelea is my private island, which once belonged to my mother," Caius said mysteriously as he bent down and approached Elizabeth. "After I was transformed, I spent a long time there, long enough for I discovered a secret."

"Secret?" She was curious.

"You will be amazed when you see it with your own eyes." Caius smiled slightly.

Elizabeth became more curious, but she tried not to show it. Maybe Caius wanted her to pester her, but she didn't.

It was pitch black outside the porthole. Although she boasted about the sea before, the excitement faded after a while, and Elizabeth felt a little sleepy from boredom. She fell asleep in Caius' arms unconsciously.

As soon as she fell asleep, the cabin was quiet, and Caius counted the steady beating of Elizabeth's heart. Her hair was in gentle curls that fell over his arms, Caius was sure most people would call it black, but if those Mediocre people can have his eyesight, then they will know that it is much more than that, in this beautiful black he can pick out some brown, chestnut or even golden hair, as complex as their owner himself.

He slowly combed her hair with his fingers, starting from the side of Elizabeth's face, following the shape of her skull, and gently sliding across her neck, he was intoxicated by the fresh beauty that could be felt with just one touch .

Elizabeth smiled slightly in her sleep, and leaned closer to Caius' chest. Her sleeping appearance was very good, and her sleep quality was also good. Usually, she could sleep until dawn. He knew that Elizabeth should not have supper tonight.

Sure enough, she was still half asleep until the plane landed, and she easily picked up the package that Jaina had packed. Caius carried Elizabeth with one hand and got off the plane. The bright moonlight was shining on the tarmac, and there were no lights on here. The guards who came would leave in another plane soon, and only Caius and Elizabeth would be left on the island.

The sea breeze is familiar and warm and humid, and the smell of the unique plants and animals on the island is clear and clear. Caius took a deep breath and couldn't help but recall the time he had spent here.

Caius did not tell Elizabeth why he had chosen the island.

This is not a beautiful story. More than 3000 years ago, he was exiled here by the most trusted minister during the transformation. After the painful rebirth, the eternal anger and hunger/thirst of vampires destroyed the civilization on this island. Since then Caius regarded the island as a private territory since the beginning, and anyone who dared to set foot on it without permission was dealt with mercilessly.

His actions even brought some notoriety to the island, but at least the daring colonists and greedy capitalists never approached here, keeping the island pristine.

In consideration of Elizabeth, Caius didn't spend any more time recalling the past, nor did he take the road he had repaired before. He took a shortcut and quickly swept through the jungle in the night until he reached the westernmost edge of the island, crossing the towering rocky mountain, an open flat land came into view.

If Elizabeth is awake at this time, she will be very surprised. A white Mycenaean building complex rises on this flat land, just like the ancient city of Pompeii frozen forever by the volcano, independent of the torrent of time, here is The projection of Caius' memories will also be their residence for the next period of time.

Without lingering here, he went straight to the palace in the center. This palace is the most spacious and magnificent, with epic poems carved on the triangular lintel, and the white marble columns have no trace of weather erosion. The shape is very similar to the later ancient Greek temples. Majestic and majestic in the night—this was once his own chamber.

Putting Elizabeth on the big bed specially prepared for her, Caius didn't turn on the light, and he didn't expect that he, who least wanted to change this place, would one day be willing to install modern equipment such as water and electricity here.

The night is as short as a little poem and as long as a love song.

Early the next morning, Elizabeth was woken up by the morning sun and the wonderful music. When she opened her eyes in a daze, she felt the gentle wind blowing across her cheeks, making her feel comfortable and relaxed.

"Good morning." A familiar and pleasant voice sounded, which stood out against the beautiful background sound.

It was Caius.

Elizabeth looked up happily to find his figure, oh, on the other side of the bed, he was holding a harp in his arms, dressed in white, like an archangel with his wings folded in the morning light, his slender fingers were on the harp Jumping between the strings, Elizabeth now knew where the beautiful music she had heard before was coming from.

She sat up and found herself still wearing yesterday's dress lying on a huge bed, Elizabeth was a little surprised. Putting it together like this, it is not even made of ordinary materials, but marble, snow-white marble, and it must be covered with a thick mattress to make her feel so soft.

The ceiling seemed very high, and everything was translucent white. Thick fabrics hung from above to separate the room. Elizabeth rubbed against the bed while watching. Caius realized that she had decided to get up, so he lightly pushed his arms away The harp in the palace came over and stretched out her gentlemanly hand and said, "Please allow me to introduce you, Cattleya Palace."

Elizabeth happily handed his hand into his palm, she was very glad that she didn't like makeup very much, and she didn't wear makeup last night.Haikou, who boasted that she would not fall asleep yesterday, fell asleep not long after. Even if she knew that Caius would not mind, as a girl, Elizabeth did not want her soul mate to remove her makeup by herself at all!

Caius didn't notice her mental activity. He smiled and led Elizabeth through the aisle, and first showed her the bathroom and wardrobe that belonged to her. This period of time was arranged for her arrival.

Her wardrobe is actually a room, where all their clothes are placed, and Caius introduces to Elizabeth one by one where to put what.

"What are these?" Elizabeth's eyes were attracted by a row of special clothes. When the sliding door was opened, there were long skirts of various colors inside, but their styles were very similar.

"This is what queens wore in my time." Caius answered her with a smile.

Elizabeth also smiled, she stretched out her hand and gently stroked these beautiful fabrics, leaving the delicate feel on her fingertips, she stopped on a white skirt, um, this is what I will wear today.

Her bathroom is also very spacious. In order to avoid embarrassment, her personal clothing is placed in a cleverly hidden compartment here.

The bathtub and washstand are made of snow-white marble, and the tentacles are cold and cool, dispelling the heat of summer. She didn't want Caius to wait too long, so she took a quick shower and didn't touch the beautiful big bathtub and Beautiful glass bottles - bath oil or fragrance - resting on a row of small tables next to the tub.

After everything was over, Elizabeth looked in the mirror and was satisfied to see her refreshed appearance.Her most frequently used skin care products and a huge shell were placed on the sink. This shell caught her attention. Although it was full of small shiny particles, she could still see some colorful things wrapped in it.

Elizabeth stretched her hand in and fished it out. After the small particles slipped away from her fingers, what remained were some simple earrings, all of which were fixed into a pair with small silver rings. She couldn't help laughing, Knowing that this playful approach was Caius' design to please her.

After satisfying her curiosity, she cast her eyes on the white dress hanging on the hanger. Although the style is not common, Elizabeth knows how to wear it after a little research. She has worn dresses many times. The design looked complicated, but it was, not to mention that Caius had prepared the clothes especially for her, and they must have been redesigned to make them easier for her to wear.

In the end, she combed her hair casually. It didn't take much effort for Elizabeth to pick out a pair of pure white earrings from the shells and put them on. The floor was covered with a snow-white plush carpet. She walked around carefully, not wanting to get rid of them on the first day. wet.

Caius has been waiting patiently outside the door for Elizabeth to freshen up.

"How do I look?" Elizabeth was not at all anxious, and rushed into his arms as soon as she walked out the door. She knew how Caius would answer, but she just wanted to hear what he said.

Caius hugged her firmly, left a soft kiss on the top of her hair, and then replied helplessly, "If I say you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen in this world, you are going to accuse me of flattering you?" you."

Hearing this Elizabeth giggled, she raised her head and kissed Caius on the chin, and said slyly, "But you must be the most beautiful person I have ever seen in this world."

"Lisa, this is not fair." Unable to resist her vivid expression, Caius held Elizabeth's face in his hands and gently kissed her on the lips, "as evidenced by Aphrodite's sweet breath... ...you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen in this world."

Of course, a perfect morning cannot be without a hearty breakfast. Caius led Elizabeth up to the second floor,

Her restaurant is here, it is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually more like a large balcony on the second floor, with marble stone pillars lined up on both sides, and light-colored gauze hanging one person's width away from the stone pillars, weakening the sunlight.

Elizabeth lifted the veil, and was surprised to find that outside the palace was a group of buildings with a uniform style, all made of snow-white marble. nor.

As early as the moment Caius met Elizabeth, he wanted to bring her here, where his history was buried, a projection of his short human life.

Although compared with the long time as a vampire, the short twenty years of human life are almost negligible, but his character and essence were formed during this period, so this is what he wanted Elizabeth to understand.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, this city is just like a dream, which made Elizabeth hold her breath unconsciously. Her eyes caressed every detail that could be seen clearly. It was amazing. She never thought that Kai Urs would give her such a surprise.

"It's my favorite part of my former kingdom and my mother's kingdom," Caius told Elizabeth, "with some Greek architectural elements mixed in, and I started building the city from the 3rd century BC."

After being surprised for a while before recovering her voice, Elizabeth repeated "3rd century BC?" uncertainly.

"Yes," Caius replied, "3rd century BC." Even if it wasn't genuine, the city would be a real place of interest outside.

"The king of Mycenae has reborn Mycenae here," Elizabeth marveled, caressing the marble column.

"And you, you are her mistress," Caius hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear.

Elizabeth couldn't help laughing, she turned around and looked up at Caius, today he was wearing a snow-white vintage robe, without any decorations or patterns, just snow-white silk, outlining his perfect body outline - if there is no His face and figure are definitely a disaster among ordinary people.

Caius didn't hide at all, his skin shone like a diamond under the sun, and his light golden long hair hung down the side of his face, setting off that perfect face almost sacred and solemn, the passage of time did not change his appearance, On the contrary, it made him more attractive, just like this city exudes endless charm for anyone.

Unable to look away or stop smiling, Elizabeth took Caius' hand, completely accustomed to the cold temperature and hard touch, she did not flinch in the slightest.

Cherishing Caius's pale and hard joints, Elizabeth said softly, "...I wish I could meet you earlier, 3000 years ago, the third century BC, whatever time is good, I wish I could meet you earlier. "

Her words were like Cupid's golden arrow piercing the heart, and a familiar tremor pierced through the body. Caius felt a strong longing in the depths of his throat. He suppressed himself fiercely and stared at Elizabeth's beautiful irises.

"I have countless hours to wait," he replied hoarsely, "Even if the earth is destroyed in 50 billion years as scheduled, as long as I can meet you one second before it is destroyed, as long as you finally show up, it will never be too late. "

Kissing Elizabeth on the forehead, Caius took her a few steps forward, let her sit on the steps, facing the beautiful scenery below, and quickly fetched a gold tray, There were some food and drinks on it, and Elizabeth discovered that there was a modern semi-open kitchen hidden in the corner under the stairs.

Caius placed the tray one step higher than the one she was sitting on, explaining, "This is how I ate when I was human, and it wasn't until a few centuries later that I ate in a seated position using tables and chairs. .”

Elizabeth nodded, first picked up the most conspicuous gold cup on the tray, and tasted the dark red liquid inside. It was a kind of fruit wine that she couldn't name. The taste of alcohol was very light, more like a drink, sweet and mellow .The blowing wind is warm and humid, wrapped in a fresh aroma, and the crisp sound of seabirds can be heard endlessly. This morning is really relaxing and pleasant.

"Are we the only ones here?" Elizabeth asked suddenly.

"Yes, only us," Caius explained patiently, "Our food will be sent to the airport on the island by the Volturi guards, but they are not allowed to come here casually."

"There are no aborigines on this island?"

"Of course, it's a private island, Lisa."

Hearing what he said, Elizabeth couldn't help being curious, "Then how do you protect these buildings from wind and frost? They look as if they were just completed, but no one cleans and maintains them? I thought there were special buildings here too." What about human employees'?"

"Aro once made some wizard friends," Caius smiled, and began to process cheese and bread for her, "It was a very long time ago, and they carved some simple but useful runes into the decoration of buildings To keep it clean, marble is the most suitable material... There are some in the underground palace, but you didn't notice it."

So there's no one else in this place, no rules, no constraints.

"That's great." Elizabeth sighed softly.

This is Caius and her eternal city.

Although there are many things to play on the island, Elizabeth has always kept in mind the secret mentioned by Caius earlier, and was told that the secret was hidden under the water.

She can't swim well, let alone learn to dive professionally, but it's okay, she knows Caius won't let her drown, the only thing that makes her unhappy is, "Do I have to change this suit? Wear it Not convenient for swimming."

"Of course not," Caius said in a tone that seemed completely unexpected that she would ask this question, "You don't need to swim by yourself, you have me."

Elizabeth was holding the diving goggle excitedly, she was carried horizontally, and Caius led her quickly across the hillside with dense jungle, all the way to the center of the island, which made her feel a little strange, if she wanted to dive, why? Why don't you go to the beach?

They walked until they were almost in the middle of the entire island. Caius jumped off a rocky crevasse with ease. When she regained her footing, Elizabeth knew why they didn't go to the beach. She was surprised to find that this The center of the island is not land, there is a calm sea hidden under the rocks.

There are no traces of any other creatures in this cave. The huge gap is surrounded by white sand and stones. The sea water is a strange color, changing from malachite green to sapphire blue from the periphery to the center, like a blue hole.

"Why is it so bright?" Elizabeth asked suspiciously. She was clearly in the cave, but she could see everything clearly with her human eyesight.

"Because of these sandstones, the inner wall of this cave is also full." Caius grabbed a handful from the ground and handed it to her.

Elizabeth took a closer look, and found that the sand and stones really glowed softly, and they were all white in various shades. There were also some small completely transparent crystals mixed in them. Elizabeth had never seen anything like this before. mineral.

Caius waited patiently for her to finish looking, and then said softly, "What I want to show you is below sea level."

Elizabeth curiously put on her diving goggles, Caius led her slowly into the slightly cool water, the seabed sloped slightly downwards, but after a short distance, she stepped on nothing.

When they were completely floating in the water, Elizabeth clasped Caius's shoulders facing each other. His arms firmly around her waist did provide a lot of security, but Elizabeth was still a little panicked, which was the same as when she was in the swimming pool before. Or the experience of playing on the beach is different. She is not used to not being able to step on the ground in the water.

"Are you ready?" Caius gave her time to get used to being in the water.

Elizabeth held her breath, she nodded, feeling a familiar excitement running down her spine, what's below the sea level?

After the loud sound of entering the water, Elizabeth's world was suddenly quiet. The only thing she could feel was that Caius' hard and powerful arms were holding her tightly, and everything was a faint blue.

The huge black shadow was under their feet, Elizabeth couldn't see clearly, she could only see Caius' long light golden hair floating in the water like a cloud, his sharp beauty softened in the water waves, Caius Si took her downstream quickly, like a mermaid in a fairy tale, catching her beloved prey and trying to hide her in the deepest and unreachable seabed.

But there is something wrong with the sea water here, Elizabeth thought silently, there was no sense of squeeze, she couldn't judge how deep she dived in the water, could it be that the water here is so light?How did they float?

When they got close enough, she finally saw what the black shadow under her feet was. It was a triangular pyramid-shaped building, the whole body was black, and some thin golden rune-like patterns were engraved on the surface. Only Elizabeth can see it clearly at the top corner - this is clearly a submarine pyramid.

If this pyramid was on the ground, it must be magnificent.Elizabeth looked back at Caius, he didn't stop her, and she couldn't help getting closer, but soon found that she was blocked, and a gentle but irresistible force pushed away her outstretched hand , to prevent her from actually touching the surface of the pyramid, which made her more curious, and she couldn't help but try it from various angles, until Caius came to hold her face, and realized that she was a little lacking Oxygen.

In her somewhat blurred vision, Caius' face looked like a perfect god.

Without paying attention to the ridiculous diving goggle on Elizabeth's face, Caius kissed her tenderly. Feeling slightly suffocated, Elizabeth instinctively wrapped his neck around his neck, drawing oxygen from his mouth.

Caius indulged her impetuous behavior and carefully kept his teeth so that they would not hurt her delicate tongue. He gently clasped the back of Elizabeth's neck and gently comforted her side face. The sea water surrounded them, Like a blue and magnificent dream.

Without thinking about why she suffered from lack of oxygen while playing below, Elizabeth couldn't wait to ask, "When was this built?"

She was sitting on the seabed, her wet skirt was wrapped around her calves and she couldn't move. The sea water was just up to her waist, Caius was still floating in the water, his arms circled a safe range for Elizabeth.

"I'm not sure either," Caius replied easily, "The only thing I can be sure of is that it is older than my human life. According to some written records on the island, it may be the remains of Atlantis. "

"Atlantis?" Elizabeth covered her mouth in surprise, so does this lost civilization really exist?

"Only some very old script, Linear A as you call it now, has a few words left here, if you want to know I can read it to you, this script has been lost in 1450 BC, we It took a long time to find them again." Caius smiled proudly at the corner of his bright red mouth.

Even the text that was older than Caius and the others made Elizabeth speechless. Whether this submarine pyramid is the remains of Atlantis or not, it must come from an ancient and mysterious civilization.

Elizabeth looked up, her gaze passed over Caius's shoulder, and fell on the water in the middle, suddenly she felt something faintly glowing golden under the blue water, but it disappeared before she looked closely, maybe life It's so strange, at a moment when one doesn't know what it means, fate has already planted the foreshadowing. .

"Not only can I not touch the pyramid, I can't feel the pressure in the water, and I haven't seen any animals. Why?" She reluctantly looked back and asked doubtfully.

Caius was a little surprised that Elizabeth could notice the lack of pressure in the sea water here, and he explained seriously, "It's because a powerful spell is engraved on this pyramid, which protects it from being opened and also makes the water here lose pressure. Even ordinary people, as long as they can hold their breath long enough, can dive all the way to the bottom of the sea, which is the bottom of this pyramid."

"Then is it connected to the open sea? Is the water here still sea water?" Elizabeth licked her lips, and the familiar astringent and bitter salty taste of sea water remained on it.

"Yes, but the part where the blue hole connects to the open sea is very deep, we can't see it for your safety." Caius replied gently.

He didn't tell Elizabeth that Aro was full of curiosity about the pyramid, so he invited many wizard friends to try to break the spell, but even Merlin, their former ally, couldn't break the spell. Years later he finally gave up, and it has remained a secret until now.

It has been lying quietly under the water surface of the cave for thousands of years. Caius himself did not have much obsession with this pyramid, but in the decades when pirates were most rampant in the Age of Discovery, he once took They had conducted experiments here, and Caius would never have brought Elizabeth here today if he hadn't been completely sure of his safety at that time.

"It's amazing," Elizabeth exclaimed, "...it's a pity that we can't see what's inside." Maybe there is the origin of all supernatural life hidden in it, and sometimes she wonders what the essence of this world is, especially in the After meeting Caius, everything is so beautiful that it is not true.

"One day we will find a way to open this pyramid," Caius gently pinned Elizabeth's wet sideburns behind his ears.

Without thinking about it any further, Elizabeth laughed. She mischievously kissed a drop of water hanging on Caius's eyelashes, and said cheerfully, "Yeah... After all, we still have 50 billion years to live."
