That night, Gu Xiang spent his first night in this world with the Duke.

Well, in a big, extravagant coffin.

Such adventures are not enjoyed by any living creature.

The castle at night is very dangerous. This island is the stronghold of the Bruch family, and there may be members of the Bruch family sleeping in places that are inaccessible.

They slept in their rooms, some willingly, some forced.But whoever disturbs their sleep will pay with their lives.

Gu Xiang obediently nestled on the Duke's chest, watched him fold his hands on his lower abdomen and then slowly closed his eyes.The serene posture is like the Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale.

"Meow~" He hummed softly, the other party opened his eyes slightly and snapped his fingers before turning off the light on the candlestick.

In the misty darkness, the black cat didn't even bother to move its tail.

He climbed the mountain for a day, went through a thrilling trip to the ancient castle, and even had an indescribable hot spring play with Zhao Jie. Now he feels that he has been squeezed dry, and the whole cat is limp.

In his drowsy sleepiness, he felt that he had overlooked a big problem.what is it then?The sleepy man dragged his soul into the deep valley slowly, and he didn't think about it until he died of sleep.

"..." Mr. System, who was waiting wholeheartedly to be asked about Zhao Jie, "He obviously talked about it all day, and then he just left it behind after doing it? He really ignored the ruthlessness of human beings. .”

Early the next morning, the entire castle came alive.

Gu Xiang opened his eyes, and what he saw was a room in darkness, which was densely covered by thick curtains, with no light shining through.

"Good morning, Lord Duke." The old butler knocked on the door three times, then entered the door with a candlestick in his hand, walked around the room, and lit all the lamps in the corner.

The servant who entered the door behind him was already standing beside the coffin with a tray.Inside are the Duke's clothes for today.

Louis lifted the little black cat, which was looking around in a daze, from his chest, sat up and stepped out of the coffin with long legs.

The butler held a black ribbon with his own hands, tied his waist-length light-colored long hair loosely, and then stood aside to take off Louis' nightgown.

Gu Xiang watched this scene without blinking, feeling that he could hardly move his eyes.With wide shoulders, narrow waist, hips and long legs, the Duke is still so perfect from the back.His back is smooth and elegant, strong but not thick, and the butterfly bones seem to have magical powers, waiting for him to wave his hands, and a pair of huge wings will grow out.

To be honest, before meeting the Duke, Gu Xiang had some prejudice against the so-called blood race.Legend has it that they are dark and handsome, bloody and cruel, but Louis overturned all his previous ideas, letting him know that the most extreme beauty that humans can achieve in this world, even angels, is nothing more than that.

While watching, Gu Xiang subconsciously licked his nose. Zhao Jie needs to avoid it when the time is right.

"My lord, the ball will be held in the nearby province of Will, where there is the family's former palace, do you think it's okay?" The old butler stepped forward to help arrange the lace on the lord's clothes, and then stood aside and took out the lace from his bosom. A notebook, and asked while flipping through it.

"Hmm..." Louis looked up and thought for a while, "Okay, I remember that Locke has been in charge over there, is he awake now?"

"Um, Master Locke is still sleeping." The old butler replied seriously.

"Then don't wake him up. Discuss with the housekeeper over there to organize this dance well. I have been sleeping for so many years, and I guess those old friends don't remember me."

"You needn't belittle yourself, my lord."

"Don't mention that stupid woman, she's not my friend." His Excellency the Duke interrupted the butler's words in a rare irritability, and stuffed his next words back into his stomach.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke." The old butler lowered his head in shame with a loyal face.

"I'm going out after the ball." Louis put on his clothes, waved his hand to let the servants leave, turned around and hugged the silly little black cat with big eyes in his arms from the cushion in the coffin, and walked out with the butler Said on the side.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke." The butler looked at the animal in the Duke's arms, felt that the touch must be soft and soft, and rubbed his fingertips covetously.

"In the past two days, you have used the ball to communicate with a few good families. The last time I fell into a deep sleep was after that woman's ball. I suspect that there are some hands and feet in it. It's just that it's been many years. If you find out, you must first muddy this pool of blood."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke. Before you fell asleep, the Baroness did enter and leave your bedroom, but the servants arrived in time, so they didn't find anything unusual."

The old butler's face was obviously angry. He followed Louis into the dining room, took two quick steps and pulled the seat away so that His Excellency the Duke could sit down. Then he snapped his fingers and asked the servants to bring the breakfast.

Today's meal is much richer than yesterday's.

There is no uncomfortable on-site blood drawing, and the blood in the glass bottle almost makes you think it is real wine.The main dish is fresh and tender lamb chops. Gu Xiang squatted on the table and had his own breakfast. The pork chops soaked in the fragrant sauce were cut into bite-sized pieces, which can be said to be very considerate.

The Duke raised his wine glass and took a sip, his light pink lips were immediately stained with blood.He closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, then turned his head and gave the butler a satisfied look. It seems that today's blood is more palatable than yesterday's.

"That's right." He took another sip and spit out two words softly, "I can taste it from the bottom flavor of this cup of blood. Its owner has a rare, pure soul. This fragrant gardenia The taste is sweet and rich, just like the rare girl I met more than 500 years ago."

The butler immediately stood upright when he heard this: "My duty, Your Excellency the Duke."

He took a step forward to fill up the goblet, and then brought up the topic just now: "In the past two days, I have received letters from several housekeeper friends. This person has fallen into a deep sleep, which is an extremely rare and dangerous signal in the Xueshou family, and several adults already want to invite you to have a detailed talk after the ball."

Louis listened to his words quietly, held the goblet with one hand and looked at the blood-red liquid inside without answering.

Xue Su is the third generation of vampires, the most powerful generation in the blood clan, and also the main leader of the blood clan.The vampires have established independent families, the legendary "Thirteen Clans". Each third generation of vampires is the ancestor of their respective families, maintaining the family's power inheritance.

It had never happened before that five blood dwellers fell asleep at the same time. It could be seen that someone was manipulating the whole incident behind it.

"I'll talk to them about this again." Lu Yi touched the black cat who was eating happily, wiped off the sauce from the corner of his mouth with a napkin, nodded to his forehead, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, " The events of hundreds of years cannot be investigated, and it is hard to guarantee that those people felt something and chose to sleep. I remember the appearance of the hunter before he fell asleep, maybe he knows something unknown."

"Hunters?!" The butler yelled in surprise, "Oh, my God. Your Excellency, you know, those hunters are a pack of mad dogs, how dangerous it would be if you went to their territory. "

"Old Nick, you just promised me. Also, pay attention to your demeanor." His Excellency looked at the black cat beside him who was so frightened that his eyes were wide open, and knew that he was probably the real face that the old housekeeper rarely revealed. I was startled.

"Oh, my lord duke, you really shouldn't go there. If you want to go, you can take old Nick with you." The butler turned into a different person in an instant, his brows and eyes were wrinkled, pitifully It looks like an old tree root that is about to die.

"No, I've already selected the servants to follow, and you need to take charge of the overall situation in the castle." When Louis said this, he raised his glass and drank it, lowering his head and carefully cutting the lamb chops on the plate.

The butler knew that this was a sign of refusal to speak, so he curled his lips and returned to his usual expressionless face.

Gu Xiang, who seemed to be watching a big drama, was stunned: Meow?

The Duke’s daily life was leisurely and boring. After eating, he took his cat for a walk in the dark castle. Fortunately, both of them had night vision capabilities, and the journey was relaxed and happy.

In the evening, the butler came to report that the dance time had been set for the evening of the day after tomorrow.From sunset to early morning of the next day, the arrangements are very rich.It also allowed enough time for the communication between the Duke and the guests.

Although the blood race can also go out in the daytime with sufficient preparation, it is uncomfortable after all.So that night, the Duke took a group of servants and set off for the province of Will with the little black cat in his arms.

The province of Vere is located in the south of Saint-Michel, with plains on three sides and the sea on one side. The sea transportation is extremely developed. Both inland and foreign freight need to be assembled here. It is a very prosperous city-state.

"Da da da da" the carriage was walking on the stone road at night, the surroundings were silent, even the door of the tavern was tightly closed, it seemed that the whole city had fallen asleep.

His Excellency the Duke was leaning on the carriage and caressing the cat. The little black cat raised its head and looked comfortable smoking a big cigarette. It was very harmonious.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a manor. Louis got out of the car with the cat in his arms, stood at the gate and sniffed it privately, then took out a handkerchief and gently covered his mouth and nose.Frowning slightly, he entered the manor.

As soon as this side sat down in the living room, the butler walked in quickly, approached and bowed and said: "My lord, I just went to check, this small town is already empty."

"Empty?" Gu Xiang stopped with his hand on his back, and then continued to stroke, "Since it is empty, where does such a strong fishy smell come from? Could it be that some fish here have grown into giant beasts?" ?”

"It has not been found so far."

"Forget it, the matter of the dance party is important, let the human beings solve it first." Louis saw that the little thing in his arms had opened his pink mouth and yawned, so he got up and walked to the bedroom, " You should investigate things in the city secretly, and don’t make any publicity when you find out. If anyone plots against me, then our Bruch family will let him recognize the glory of blood and sword again.”
