Children Raised by Vampires [Western Fantasy]

Lan Yan told Sally about his identity and the reason why he couldn't leave now. Since then, he felt that Sally's attitude had changed a little. Although he was still very kind and close to him, he just It feels like he has changed.

Because Sally had been quietly following him before, he did what he said, and he was very content with the status quo, just like when they were young.But one day when he saw Lan Yan reading a book, he even took the initiative to ask to learn to read and count.

Summer is long, and cicadas keep screaming under the camphor tree not far away. This kind of insect has lived in the dark underground for more than ten years, just for a summer carnival, of course it has to scream as much as it wants.

Although their call is very loud to humans, it is indeed an indispensable part of summer.

The daytime supervisor Brian would order the servants to use nets to catch the cicadas from the nearby trees every morning, so as not to affect the rest of the masters, but no matter how they were caught, there would always be one or two fish that slipped through the net.

There was a large basin of ice cubes in the room, which was very cool. The door and windows were open, and the draft was blowing gently. Lan Yan was lying on the desk. Hearing Sally's words, he woke up from his doze.

"Okay." Lan Yan said, he wished that Sally could improve a little bit. "Then have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"Not yet." Sally scratched his hair. He was four years older than Lan Yan. Although his smile was still shy, the body of an adult man represented that he had grown up a long time ago.What's more, the food in Eisenmeath Castle has always been good, he has grown taller, and his chest has become much thicker.

"It's okay, you should read the characters first, learn more and read more, there are everything in the book, and you will find the job you are really interested in." Lan Yan said.

Sally a little bit. "So when do we start?"

"You can start with whatever you want, I will teach you what my literature teacher taught me before." Lan Yan said with a smile.

Ai Lite came in with iced fruit and mead. Hearing their conversation, she couldn't help but look at Sally a few more times.The servants who could work here could read and write, so she was a little surprised.

From then on, every afternoon, Lan Yan would spend two hours teaching Sally until he could read independently. After all, he was an adult. Since he had a heart to learn and someone taught him patiently, Sally still made great progress. Fast.

That effort made Lan Yan wonder if Sally wanted to get rid of him immediately and leave.After all, he was still a servant, and Brian would order him to do other things.

Of course, Lan Yan didn't expect that what happened later would make him feel ashamed of being suspicious of Sally at this moment.

It may be that the various races have temporarily calmed down. Winster often invites Lan Yan to dine with him at night. Sally is puzzled by this, because in his opinion, His Majesty the real king is really too kind to Lan Yan , he can have whatever he wants, and the treatment he enjoys is almost equal to him.

"Dalton said he had found what you called 'rice seeds', which we call 'quack', which is grown as a staple food in only a small part of the entire continent in the Vinmons territory. It The yield is not high, and it is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive, and the soil here is not suitable for planting."

The round table in the dining room was covered with a white tablecloth, with fresh roses in the center, and candles burning on the silver candlesticks. It was dark outside the high window. There were only Winster and Lan Yan dining here. The Dalton he just mentioned Is the steward of Yocana Manor Farm.

Lan Yan concentrated on cutting the lamb chops on the plate, and said, "I'm just asking." His silver eyelashes drooped, and he was eating seriously.

Winston looked at him, his dark eyes were like the night outside the window, gentle and unfathomable. "I met Jyoti when I went to the opera last night. She wants to invite you to her house for dinner and apologize for Dennis bumping into you earlier."

"What?" Lan Yan raised her head. "How long has it been, almost two months? What kind of apology is taking so long. This apology is not sincere at all. I won't go."

"Jodi is good at socializing and flattering. When she invites you, she will definitely invite other people. The banquets held by them will be more interesting than the banquets held here. If you feel bored, you can go and have fun." Winster said.

more fun?Should be more relaxed?Lan Yan asked: "Then why don't you go?"

"I'm not going, but I'll let Adrian follow you."

"Ah? Forget it, I won't go. I'm not the same kind of person as they are, and I can't go together."

"This invitation is just an excuse. You went to represent that you accepted their settlement."

"Why should I accept their settlement? It's not my fault, it's Dennis who provokes me every time."

Winston picked up the goblet and shook it. The bright red liquid inside was swaying inside, but the smell it gave off was not the smell of wine, but a strange smell. It was not pure wine, but could be suppressed. The tools of their thirst for human blood.Normally, ordinary maniacs can calm down for a short time after drinking this medicinal wine.

"Do you know what this is?" Winston asked.

"Molly Medicinal Wine, your father concocted it." Lan Yan said.

"Yes." Winston said. "But this medicinal wine can only suppress our bodies, not our minds."

"What do you mean?" Lan Yan asked puzzled.

"The war between the people of the day and the people of the night officially ended after Molly's medicinal wine came out, but the war among the people of the night broke out," Winster said. "My father was also seriously injured in that war, which is also an important reason why he died less than 300 years after ascending to the throne of the true king."

"At that time, we were divided into two factions. The conservatives agreed that drinking medicinal wine would not indiscriminately kill humans and live in peace with humans. The opposition could not give up the feeling of wanton killing and the right to drink blood."

"Well, what then?" Lan Yan asked.

"Later my father died, and my mother also left, and I hurriedly inherited my father's throne and this mess." Winster took a sip of the medicinal wine, and the bright red liquid dyed his lips more delicately, Coquettish like ghosts.

Lan Yan felt that Winster was a little unhappy when he recalled this place. He guessed that Winster should not be too old at that time, otherwise, with his personality, he would not be so brooding over the departure of his parents.

"I propose that private blood slaves can be kept in captivity, but their lives are not allowed to be harmed, because the church is still staring at us. If the opposition wins, the war will resume again. I have to find a way to quell the civil strife, and I have to find a way to put Fulfill the purpose of my father's peace."

"Ah, then what? They must have agreed, otherwise there would be no Viaken now." Lan Yan asked.

"It's not that simple, but I used some means to force them." Winster said. "It's just repression, after all, it's just repression. If the desire for blood cannot be dissipated, the more you repress, the more unbearable it will be."

"But now, many of them probably have lived too long and want an indulgent carnival too much, like cicadas buried deep in the ground, looking forward to coming to the ground one summer." He said.

"What does that have to do with the David brothers and sisters? I still don't understand what you said so much. I don't want to go, but you seem to want me to go." After Lan Yan finished eating the food on the plate, the servant removed it for him and replaced it with a Summer fruit and vegetable salads.

"Because maybe one day, you will need their help." The ancient vampire said in the tone of an elder.

"What do you mean?"

"You know that there are thirteen top clans in Viaken now, but there were more than that back then. There were many clans, large and small, and there were nearly thirty clans with leading power just because of their names."

"And the David family was also a top clan back then, comparable to my father's family in strength, and this family is also the leading clan of the opposition."

This is the first time for Lan Yan to know this. He always thought that for thousands of years, the top clans of the blood clan are only the present thirteen.

But yes, Dennis called Winster's uncle, and Winster also said that he was a relative of his grandfather's generation, which meant that Winster's grandfather and Dennis' great-grandmother were siblings, or siblings.And how could the powerful Fanzhuo family marry their daughter to a family whose strength is too far from theirs.

"The opposition was suppressed by me and became the vassals of the major conservative clans, and then suppressed by the princes of various clans. Many of them have disappeared, or the entire clan has been exterminated. But now..."

"But now the princes of many clans have changed their positions." Lan Yan continued Winster's words. "You're not sure if a conservative is still a conservative."

"That's right," Winston said. "And as far as I know, the opposition in the deep underground is still headed by the David family, and the David family has only two pure-blood young sons left, and I have eradicated the rest of the forces one by one. Those two young sons are also at my feet. grow up."

When Winster said this, Lan Yan remembered that Dennis had said before that he wanted to taste what his blood tasted like. Compared with her violent younger brother, her elder sister Jyoti was much more stable.
