Ring

Chapter 69

Several people have moved indoors.

The slender Japanese koto is placed on the glass coffee table, and the black cloth is spread under the body of the koto.But seeing that the body of the zither is slender, the lines are smooth and beautiful.I don't know what kind of wood the body of the piano is made of, but it faintly exudes an indescribable but refreshing fragrance.

There are complex and exquisite patterns carved on the tail of the piano, but at this moment, it has been burnt black, making it almost impossible to distinguish.The zither has thirteen strings, but at this moment, all the strings are broken and blackened by the fire.

Della's five fingers spread out, hanging in the air on the piano, from the beginning to the end of the piano, gradually swipe across.Wisps of pure but weak spiritual power seeped into her fingertips.

After a while, Della lowered her arms with a dignified expression.

Wei Shenzhi was a little nervous: "Miss Fanmilion, what's wrong?"

Della smiled: "You don't have to worry, this violin can be repaired, but you just need the assistance of the Earl."

Edgar, who was sitting on one side of the sofa, nodded: "Tell me what to do."

"Go back to the Kachitis Castle of the Bathory family, and go to the basement of the castle, where there is the spell amplification array left by the founder of the Bathory family, Countess Elizabeth Bathory. The violin that will be destroyed by the dark force Putting it there, redrawing the magic circle with the blood of Bathory's blood, can neutralize all the forces from the darkness."

Della paused, and looked at the Zizheng with thoughtful eyes, "The spiritual power lingering in this zither is very weak, but it is pure and powerful. Once the shackles of the dark magic are canceled, then... Well, maybe this conjecture is a bit strange, but I think the piano may be repaired automatically in the future."

"He'll probably recover on his own."

"'he'?!"

Della raised her head in astonishment, and Rice was also a little strange.

"Yes. What you are seeing now is the ancient master Qin in the Japanese mythology... which was also cut off by Ms. Fanmilion with a long black knife... the original body of the Tsukizu kite."

…………

Rice is gone.

Edgar wants to rest.

Wei Shenzhi wanted to go out for a walk.

——Finally came to Hungary, finally came to Budapest, he really wanted to go out for a stroll, see the Fisherman's Bastion and so on.

But Budapest is very close to Bathory's Kachitis Castle, so there is no chance of any spy from the chief executive around, so Wei Shenzhi thinks it's better for him to stay in the room.

But Edgar actually encouraged him to go out and play.In his words: "Take Della out, it's good to attract attention, let the gang of stubborn people in the clan know that I brought back an oriental magician with strong spiritual power to be their 'Countess'."

The two words "Countess" successfully made Della's expressionless face break for a moment.Wei Shenzhi walked forward with a smile, and under Edgar's gaze, a talisman knocked him down on the bed, and then waved to Della.

"Ah... yes, ma'am... ah, no, Mr. Wei!"

Wei Shenzhi looked at her seriously, and that expression made Della break out in a cold sweat, because Wei Shenzhi seemed to be thinking about taking her out to find a grove to bury her alive.

Wei Shenzhi looked at her thoughtfully, and hooked his hands at her: "Miss Fanmilion, let's go shopping."

"Ah? Good, good!"

And Edgar over there jumped out of the quilt, tore off the bright yellow thing on his face, and shouted resentfully to the two who had already walked to the door: "Della! Remember to protect the safety of Madam!"

…………

So, the two walked down the street.

The oriental man walking in front was handsome, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that were distinct in black and white, like a landscape painting with a touch of freehand style, almost sucking people in.A white windbreaker perfectly outlined his tall figure, as if he had stepped out of an oriental ink painting.

The western woman walking next to him put on just the right amount of makeup, her facial features were exquisite and three-dimensional, and she seemed to be more beautiful than the flat models in those magazines.The long snow-white legs were exposed to the air, not to mention the men passing by, even the women couldn't help but glance at her.This is such a beautiful woman, standing with that man... Ahahaha, is she really a beautiful woman?

But if you look closely, the oriental man seems to be thinking about very serious issues, touching his chin with his hands from time to time.But the Western woman had lingering fear on her face, and whispered next to him: "Mr. Wei, please don't care about the Earl..."

However, Wei Shenzhi interrupted him before he finished speaking.He turned his head, looked at Della seriously, and said, "Is Edgar the head of the Bathory family?"

"Well, yes, the Earl is a descendant of Lord Victoria, so he is the head of the Bathory family."

"You must listen to the Patriarch's order?"

Della thought that Wei Shenzhi was testing her loyalty, so she immediately swore: "I swear to Lucifer, the Lord of Satan, that I have no second thoughts about Earl Bathory."

"..."

Hearing a lot of swearing to God, Jesus, and the Virgin Mary, Wei Shenzhi was the first to hear someone swearing to Satan.So, should there be a matching "Thank you Satan for blessing" or something? !

Sweated silently by his own brain, Wei Shenzhi said: "I understand what you mean when you call me 'Madam', so you don't have to swear in front of me."

They are obviously embarrassing, but they still faithfully carry out Edgar's bad taste. These people are also quite pitiful.

"...So, you agree with me calling you Madam?"

Della originally thought that Wei Shenzhi would be furious, but she didn't expect someone to be very calm: "If you can't disobey the Patriarch's order, then you can scream if you like. If you want to fight me with such childish means, then I will follow him." alright."

Before Della could say anything in the future, Wei Shenzhi sneered and said, "It's fine for him to play around in private. I'll play with him when I get back. If he dares to call me that in public when he returns to the blood clan , I want to prove in public who is the 'Countess'!"

"But..." Della's voice was a little confused, "My lord Earl is not so easy to settle..."

"Oh? You think I can be easily settled?"

"That's not true. Speaking of which..." Della's voice brought a smile, "I felt it when I met you just now. Your spiritual power... is much stronger than it was two years ago. It's because you practiced spells Is it?"

"Yes, otherwise there is no other way." Wei Shenzhi said with a smile, "If I am just an ordinary human being, how can I help Edgar avenge Victoria."

"..."

Della didn't speak, she lowered her head as if she was in deep thought, but Wei Shenzhi saw through her thoughts immediately, and asked her, "Do you think Edgar betrayed Victoria?"

"..." Della sighed softly, "Actually, the matter between Lord Victoria and the Earl is very complicated... Maybe it is much more complicated than you think. You probably don't know, the female head of the Bathory family, the representative An extremely important mission has been passed down from generation to generation, but the male patriarch has no need to perform this duty."

"mission?"

"En." Della nodded, and walked forward with Wei Shenzhi, crossed the crosswalk, and entered the Xingguang Pedestrian Square.This is a large shopping world, passing here is the Hungarian National Opera House, which can be regarded as a scenic spot.So the two walked in that direction.

"This is the curse of Countess Elizabeth. You must have heard the legend about Countess Elizabeth Bathory."

Naturally, Wei Shenzhi had heard of it—it was rumored that he killed virgins in Kachtis, studied black magic, and with the help of witches, aunts, and maids, he bathed his body in the blood of young girls, so as to ensure that he would be young and beautiful forever.Legend has it that she was once the wealthiest nobleman in Hungary, but was imprisoned in a castle room for her horrific acts and was finally burned alive.

"Maybe this sounds unexpected to you, but Lady Elizabeth is not a vampire."

Wei Shenzhi frowned—if she wasn't a vampire, why would her descendants be...

"It's actually a long story. After her husband died, Minister Turzo coveted her property and her beauty, and tried to get her again and again. And the so-called 'bath in the blood of a maiden' is also One of Turzo's rumors."

"Oh?"

"She was indeed obsessed with black magic. The herb that the witch Velvado prescribed for her to bathe her body was blood red."

Wei Shenzhi stopped.There was not much surprise on his face: "'People are more willing to believe legends than facts'."

"That's right." Della showed some approval on her face, "Minister Turzo also said the same. In addition, the Countess's family is also suffering from mental disorders and loves to abuse because of the marriage of close relatives." People, especially women's mental eccentricities. She has executed maids at will, but definitely not by the cruel means in the legends—those are all invented by Turzo himself."

"If she's not a vampire, why are you, Rice, Edgar... why are her descendants blood race?"

"Because the countess saw Satan in her dying fire. She swore that she would renounce the faith of Christ, and Satan carried her on his fiery horse to the gates of hell. At the same time, to fulfill her vow, he would The curse named Bathory was imprinted on her blood left in the world. From then on, they will not age or die, and they must pass through human blood to survive in this world. At the same time, this curse for the female patriarchs of the past generations, There's another layer of meaning."

…………

As Della spoke, she followed Wei Shenzhi's footsteps.Probably because the conversation was too self-forgetful, and when Wei Shenzhi found himself leading Della into a deserted alley, he had to admit that he was lost.

But Della didn't care about it, and just continued to say to him: "The female heads of the past generations have to dedicate their lives and souls to Satan and become Satan's mistress, and Victoria is also like this. It is rumored that the day of Satan's second coming , he will take away the countess of the Bathory family again. Will she... eh? Mr. Wei?"

Wei Shenzhi made a "shut up" gesture and looked around in a defensive posture.
