I really want to die

In his sleep, Su Chen felt as if something was peeping in the dark, a kind of coldness of winter swept over his body, as if his blood was frozen, and his heart stopped beating.

Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

The fire in the fireplace was burning vigorously, and the candles placed on the stone platform were about to burn out, and streaks of white wax oil flowed down on the countertop.Su Chen turned his head to look, and saw that the window that was tightly closed before going to bed opened a crack at some point, and the cold wind came in.

No wonder it felt cold when sleeping, the wind was relatively strong at night, and the lord's room was located high in the castle, so the windows were blown open.

Su Chen got out of bed wearing a thick fur coat, and the floor of the room was also supplemented with blankets, so he didn't feel cold when he stepped on it with bare feet.

The moonlight outside was very bright, hanging in mid-air as if it was only a little higher than the castle, and you could see it when you looked up.The castle looks quiet and beautiful under the moonlight, and it is white, as if winter has come.

Su Chen, who was closing the window, suddenly focused his eyes on the top of the watch towers on both sides of the castle.

On the top of the tower that no one can climb, there are two figures standing. Although they can't see clearly from a distance, Su Chen can be sure that they are indeed two people.Standing on the top of the pointed tower, there is no support around it, but it is as stable as a rock. Only the hair and clothes are blown up by the wind.

One is as white as frost, and the other is as red as fire.

At that moment, Su Chen thought of vampires.Only such a supernatural creature can stand on the top of the tower freely.But, if there were two vampires here, why did they appear in his castle at the same time?

"Augusige, your little prey has woken up, and is standing by the window looking at us now. Is it really okay if he finds out your true face?" Jia Sisili looked in the direction of Su Chen With a glance, he looked back at Augusto jokingly after withdrawing his gaze, and asked with raised eyebrows.

Jiaxisili looks like a young man in his twenties, with a feminine and charming appearance, especially a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, and a red tear mole at the corner of the eye, which can suck the soul away when squinting at people, yes Famous beauty among vampires.Many high-ranking vampires are proud of having a good time with Jia Xisili, of course, there are exceptions.

Augustus frowned, with a hint of impatience and sarcasm in his eyes, "Gassisley, I didn't expect that your taste is getting worse and worse. Any kind of person can turn him into a vampire through First Embrace .It is because of vampires like you who are not taboo about meat and vegetables that the blood race has gradually become bloody and brutal monsters that eat human blood in the eyes of humans."

A trace of anger flashed in Jiaxisili's eyes, "Do you think everyone is as picky as you are?" After shouting, he suddenly calmed down again, with a smile on his face again, "They have already become vampires. Why do you still care so much about human opinion? Why, is the prey this time different from the past? That’s right, I’ve never seen you so nervous before, could it be that this time it’s not just about ‘food’?” He said He laughed to himself, and when he smiled, he pressed his fingers to the corners of his mouth, as if he was afraid that his smile would be too curved and appear inelegant.

August's eyes turned cold, "I don't care what you have done before, in short, don't touch this person this time. If I see you stepping into the castle again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After leaving these words, Augustus disappeared from the top of the tower in a flash.

Jia Sisili stood where he was, his smile cooled down, and he looked towards the window with a sullen face, but only saw the closed wooden window.

"It seems that it is really different from the previous prey."

He whispered coldly.

The next day, Augustus, who was the lord's personal attendant, came to Su Chen's room early in the morning but was completely empty, and then a maid told him that the lord went to the study early in the morning.

When Augusto came to the study, he saw his lord standing on a high ladder, reaching for the top book.However, the bookshelves are too high, and there are too many books, and the young man's figure has not fully grown, and his stature is short, so even if he climbs on the top of the ladder and stretches his arms, he can't reach it. Instead, he will be exhausted after a while. sweating a lot.

"My lord, let me do it." Augusto looked at it for a long time, feeling exhausted for the young man, and seeing that he was still persistently reaching out to get the book, he finally couldn't help but make a sound.

Hearing a voice suddenly, Su Chen was startled, turned his head and looked down, and saw that it was August who came in at some time, so he nodded and prepared to come down.Unexpectedly, he raised his head for too long, and now he suddenly lowered his head, and he couldn't get used to it, so he stepped on the air and fell off the ladder.

Halfway down, the body fell into a somewhat cool embrace.

Auguste caught Su Chen with his body, half-kneeled on the ground, looked down at Su Chen in his arms and asked, "My lord, are you alright?"

Could it be that he not only faints but also suffers from hypoglycemia?Is this body going to work? Don't live half your life, get sick and die, and have to start all over again.

Su Chen frowned and rubbed his forehead. Hearing what August said, he shook his head and didn't speak.

August put Su Chen on the chair gently, and then jumped up without using a ladder, took off the top book, and handed it to Su Chen, "Are you looking for this book, sir?" ?”

The cover of the book reads: Tales of Vampires.

August raised his eyebrows. Seeing Su Chen nodding, he skipped the previous chapters and turned straight to the end. The title of the chapter is: On How to Kill a Vampire.

Augustus raised his eyebrows even higher, pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and asked, "Your Excellency also hates vampires?"

"Dislike? It's impossible to talk about." Su Chen was distracted to answer August's question while flipping through what he was looking for.The last time he read almost all the books about vampires, he remembered that only this book had a more detailed description of how to kill a vampire, although it was probably unreliable.

"Then why, my lord—" Hearing Su Chen's answer, Auguste felt a little relieved for some reason, and at the same time a little puzzled.

The book recorded very little about the vampires killed, so Su Chen glanced at it and read it.He looked away from the book, looked at Auguste, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Probably, 'If people who are not of my race, their hearts must be different'? Creatures that cannot be destroyed must always be a little uneasy. I can’t grasp their weaknesses, and I feel that I can’t sleep well.”

After listening to Su Chen's words, Augusto became more silent. After a while, he spoke softly and said in a low voice: "There is a very effective method. If one day a vampire falls in love with someone, use the blood soaked in his lover's blood. the silver dagger, smash his heart, and he will die completely."

Hearing that he spoke so seriously, Su Chen gave him a strange look, with a doubtful tone, "Seeing you speak so seriously, I would have thought you were a vampire." Of course Su Chen was joking.In almost all records, vampires are unable to operate in the sun. The vampire that recently appeared to kill people and then disappeared inexplicably, every time it committed crimes, it was at night, which also shows the correctness of this conclusion.Apart from his fairer skin and lower body temperature, Augusto has nothing to do with vampires.

Augusto was silent again for a moment, and said: "My ancestors have some relationship with vampires, I have seen such records." And I have seen it with my own eyes.

Su Chen didn't investigate the authenticity of this method. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Then according to what you said, it's best for a vampire not to fall in love with someone, otherwise he will die a miserable death? Because it is possible that his lover will kill him, and those who would kill him have a deadly weapon that can kill him."

"Yes, so since ancient times, vampires have never fallen in love with others easily. If they fall in love, they must either kill their lover with their own hands and not let him fall into the hands of the enemy; Same race."

After Su Chen heard this, he remained silent for a long time, and at the end, he sighed softly, "Listen to you, vampires are also a poor race. Not only will they live in darkness all their lives, but they will not be able to love others openly. The meaning of their existence is What is it?"

Augusto stared at his face intently, then sighed after hearing the words, and said in a low voice: "Yes, what is the meaning of their existence?"

Since the last discussion about the death of vampires in the study room, Su Chen discovered that Auguste always found some books about vampires and put them on his bedside, so that he could read them for a while before going to sleep.

What surprised Su Chen was that he had never seen these books in his family's library, and he didn't know where Augustus got them.However, judging from the words and authors described above, these records appear to be very authentic, at least much more credible than the few books he had read before.

One of the books tells about the real vampires, who will not treat human beings as food on the dinner plate like low-level vampires, and do blood-sucking and murderous things.Even if they suck blood, they carefully select their targets and make a lot of preparations. They rarely use their fangs to directly bite through the blood vessels to suck.Therefore, people who have been sucked blood may not even know that they have lost blood, or that they were sucked away by a vampire.

And the so-called "first embrace" of the vampires, that is, by sucking blood and pouring their own blood into the human body to transform them into vampires, is not something that can be used casually without restrictions.In fact, every first embrace consumes the blood essence of a blood race. If there are too many transformations, his own strength will suffer a great blow.

Therefore, many vampires, especially high-ranking vampires, rarely suck blood, and even fewer transform ordinary humans into their own race.

The author of this book was a pope more than 200 years ago, who once reached an agreement with a high-ranking blood.This blood clan helped him ascend to the Pope's throne, and he returned the blood of the purest and cleanest believers.

After a period of time passed peacefully, a relatively important event happened in the whole kingdom.

Selection of knights.

For the vast majority of commoners, the title of knighthood is too distant and impossible to achieve, but the title of knight can be obtained through hard work.And as long as they get the title of knight, their descendants can also get rid of their status as slaves, receive better education, and even become a jazz nobleman in the future.

There are two ways to obtain the status of a knight. One is to make meritorious service on the battlefield; the other is to pass the assessment of the church and be awarded the honorable title of knight by the church.

The former is in the past of the Dark Ages, and now that the wars have been drastically reduced, the opportunities have been greatly reduced, and it is often accompanied by life-threatening risks. Therefore, the latter is the best way to obtain the title of knight in everyone's mind.

The castle was full of jubilation. Although Su Chen's quota for directly conferring knight titles this year had been exhausted, he still had the right to nominate candidates for knighthood.So these days, all kinds of people are trying their best to get in front of Su Chen. Those who are really not qualified to appear in front of the lord also send messages to Su Chen through various relationships.

Among all the people, there was one person who was closest to the lord and appeared in front of the lord the most, but he didn't say a word in front of the lord.

As a result, people in the castle speculated whether the lord would choose him as one of the knight candidates?
