kiss the night

The off-road vehicle parked at the border of West La River, and what greeted the eyes was the sky full of yellow sand, sparse shrubs, and a barbed wire fence that was erected not far away as high as two people.The sentinel was holding the checkpoint. Within a kilometer radius, there were only stationed troops. Not far away, there was a vulture hovering on the dead wood. The dead wood was split from the middle, and there were burnt marks on the edge.

"My God." Yan Zhao couldn't help sighing, his deer-like eyes blinked, "How could this be the case, this is the territory of Prince Austin?"

Laurentine also had a rare seriousness on his face, and his eyes were fixed on the soldiers who were walking towards the car in front.

"Certificate." The soldier pointed his gun at the glass window and said.

"This is the Duke of Laurentine. We should have made a report." The driver was the ambassador sent by the local area. He looked a little haggard. It is obviously not an easy task to be an ambassador in such a war-torn country. , he took out a document from the handbag he was carrying, "here."

Yan Zhao stared at the black hole-like muzzle. Although he knew that ordinary guns would not do much harm to vampires, it still made him feel a habitual nervousness.

"I never thought I'd come to this point." He said, hooking Laurentine's fingers, "What does Lorraine mean by 'the omen has not appeared in that prince's territory for a long time'?"

"Austin Rodger." The prince next to him said the name, and with the sound of the car starting up again, he sighed, "We haven't heard of him for a long time, the former Rapp Lever is a mighty country. I mean, a long time ago, I was in this place where flowers bloomed, and his palace was on the banks of the Mother River, and you could even hear the pelicans there."

"The prince...but why?"

"This is a multifaceted factor, and it is difficult to explain clearly in one or two sentences." Laurentine touched his chin, "But, if you have to say it, this matter has something to do with your uncle, and he also Still young, oh no, it should be said too young."

"Mr. Duo?" Yan Zhao asked doubtfully.

"Yes." Laurentine glanced out the window, the car was driving on the broken road, the rear wheels kicked up dust, even though the car didn't open any windows, the smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with hay still permeated the air.

The story begins with a young heir to a lord. All signs indicate that this heir is not a stable character. He rejects all traditional etiquette and likes all deviant things. He neither believes in God nor Satan. Similarly, he also Do not believe his ancestor Cain or any prophecies.

He had publicly stated that before his father handed over power, he was going to do a big thing: go to the East, that mysterious land.

"Humans can't reach it because they're weak, but I'm different from them." The young vampire had brown-red hair like a lion, and he never pulled back his fangs when he laughed. Raise the most colorful flag, command the sailboat to sail to the east.

"And then?" Yan Zhao asked, "Does this have anything to do with Mr. Duo?"

Laurentine shook his head: "Zhao, you know that before the second industrial revolution, the world was not as closely connected as it is now. Humans were still like this, let alone vampires... Oh, as you said, vampires are A group of serious and old-fashioned creatures, of course I am the same, although Austin and I are on the same continent, we rarely communicate with each other."

"Hey." Yan Zhao was dissatisfied with him bringing up old things, "Those were all angry words I said together, and I haven't..."

"You don't think I'm that annoying anymore?" Laurentine teased.

"Of course." Yan Zhao paused, and turned his face away, not looking at Laurentine, "You've done better than most people." He whispered, "You know, I'm just now I know how difficult it is.”

Although the process in the middle is not clear for the time being, Yan Zhao has already understood the general situation here after entering East Rapleville - the split of imperial power has divided the whole country into east and west. In order to annex each other, here often There were wars and conflicts, and now, the place was affected by some kind of plague.

"This plague is spread through the exchange of bodily fluids. Therefore, the Duke and Mr. had better reduce the chance of contact with the locals. The tableware used for dinner will be sent to the room separately. All the things used by the embassy are sterilized You can rest assured about this." The ambassador in the front row stepped out of the car, his eyelids drooping, full of worries.

"Thank you for reminding me." Laurentine opened the door and got out of the car, watching Yan Zhao get out of the car, "Zhao, we need to rest here tonight, some of the local railways are interrupted, we will start tomorrow."

Yan Zhao looked at the embassy beside him. Among the dilapidated khaki houses, such a clean white western-style building looked very eye-catching—the neighborhoods around here are considered to be in good condition, probably because the embassy district is here. Because of this, it has not been affected by the flames of war for the time being.

However, the plague still spread.

Just as they were standing at the door for a while, they suddenly saw several children surrounding them. The children didn't know what this group of neatly dressed adults were doing, and they looked over with their dark eyes open.

Seeing this, the ambassador quickly greeted the distinguished guests in the embassy: "Let's go, gentlemen."

However, a bold child still took action, he ran over and grabbed Yan Zhao's clothes.

"Sir, sir, I want some food." Obviously he was a child less than ten years old, but his voice sounded quite hoarse due to lack of strength, "Sir, please."

"Let go!" The ambassador pulled the child away in a panic, but the child pulled Yan Zhao's clothes so hard that Yan Zhao couldn't help shaking it. The ambassador looked over nervously, "I'm sorry sir, please forgive these things Children, they don't understand anything yet, let's go in quickly!"

After being stunned for a moment, Yan Zhao looked up at the child who had been dragged away, but before he could speak, the surrounding guards had already stepped forward and dispersed the group of children.

Laurentine didn't show any expression on his face. He nodded slightly to the panic-stricken master, and smiled: "It's okay, Mr. Ambassador, let's go."

Yanzhao's hand was held in the palm of Laurentine, and he could only walk away step by step.

In such an economic environment, even the embassy's conditions can only be described as "average". Yan Zhao knows that they have tried their best. At least the courtyard has been cleaned, there are no mosquitoes around, and the rooms have been put According to the introduction of the ambassador, this is a local specialty that has a calming effect.
