Silver plates, small plates, knives and forks, goblets, everything is there, very complete.
On each plate, there was also a bloody piece of raw meat that resembled a steak. ,
There was a man sitting at the front of the long dining table. He was holding a knife and fork and devouring the raw meat on the plate until his mouth was filled with blood.
The man's nose was high, his complexion was pale, and his pupils were a strange crimson color. At first glance, he was not of Chinese ethnicity.
He was wearing a burgundy dress with a vertical collar and his hair was meticulously combed. He looked a bit like an ancient European aristocrat.
"Welcome some guests to my castle."
Seeing us all looking at him dumbfounded, the man immediately put down the knife and fork in his hand and spoke to us in a strange and sharp voice.
"Who are you?"
I clenched the Martial King Whip in my hand and asked with a vigilant look on my face.
"Haha, I am the owner of this underground castle. You can call me Duke William."
The man said with a sneer.
Duke William?
I was stunned for a moment, and soon thought of the murals I saw on the cave wall when I first entered the cave.
A group of knights were defeated in a battle with a monster with a wolf head and body, and fled to the east under the leadership of their leader...
Judging from the Duke's dress, he is so similar to the leader in the mural!
Could it be that Duke William was the leader of those knights?
However, I can tell from the pictures depicted in the murals that the war between knights and monsters was not in modern times, but at least took place hundreds of years ago.
Hundreds of years have passed. Even if the leader fled to the east, he should have died long ago. How could he still be alive, and his appearance has not even changed?
"Xiao Chengzi, this guy is probably not alive."
Just when I was wondering, Lonnie came close to my ear and whispered.
"If it's not a living person, then what is he?"
I asked confused.
"If I guess correctly, this Duke William should be a vampire!"
vampire?
Hearing what Lonnie said, I couldn't help but open my eyes wide, and I couldn't hide the shock in my heart.
Although I have only been to the East once since I started practicing yin and yang, I have heard about vampires in Europe for a long time.
Although the name contains the word ghost, strictly speaking, vampires are not the same concept as the ghosts we often call ghosts.
Vampires are not ghosts, but a kind of monster between humans and ghosts that rely on sucking the blood of living people to survive. They have a history of thousands of years in Europe.
It is said that by sucking blood, vampires can survive forever and possess extremely strong supernatural powers.
Although I had already made some assumptions in my mind before, I was still extremely shocked when Lonnie said that Duke William in front of me was a vampire.
Why did this legendary vampire from Europe appear at the foot of Kunlun Mountain?
"Guests, why are you still standing there? Please take a seat."
Seeing us standing motionless, Duke William once again extended an invitation to us in a sharp voice.
Strangely enough, as soon as Duke William finished speaking, I felt as if there was a force pushing me from behind, making me walk towards the dining table involuntarily.
Looking at Lonnie and the others, they were all confused and were pushed to the seats at the dining table and sat down.
"Everyone, this is fresh raw meat that I have treasured for many years. Please enjoy it."
Seeing us all sitting down, Duke William smiled with satisfaction and pointed to the bloody raw meat on the plate.
I didn't want to move at first, but that force controlled me and made me pick up the knife and fork, cut off a piece of raw meat, and slowly brought it to my mouth.
On the surface, I remained calm, but secretly I kept mobilizing the strength within my body to contend with the unknown force. At the same time, I became increasingly shocked.
This Duke William is too terrifying. He can control our movements with just a trace of thought. So how powerful is he?
"open!"
Just when I was trying my best to contend with that force, Liao Xian'er, who was sitting opposite me, suddenly shouted loudly, broke free from the shackles of that force, and stood up from his seat suddenly.
"Damn vampire, let me ask you, is my senior brother Xuancheng here with you?"
Liao Xianer pointed at Duke William and asked sharply.
"Let me tell you, my senior brother is a member of the Kunlun Mountain Sect. If he is here with you, you'd better let him go!"
"Otherwise, I will definitely report it to Master and lead all the brothers from the mountain gate to level your tomb so that you pests will die without a place to die!"
Faced with Liao Xian'er's cold questioning, Duke William remained unmoved. He just opened his scarlet eyes and sneered again and again.
"Haha, I don't know the Xuancheng you are talking about."
"However, not long ago, a man who claimed to be the Kunlun Mountain Sect came to the Duke's castle and asked to take away the colorful stones."
When Liao Xian'er heard this, he immediately asked eagerly: "Where is he now?"
Duke William sneered: "The colorful stones are treasures that I brought from Europe hundreds of years ago. How can I hand them over to others so easily?"
"When that man saw that the Duke refused, he actually wanted to steal the colorful stones openly. Since he is so disrespectful, I naturally don't need to be polite to him."
Liao Xianer's face turned cold instantly: "Did you kill him?"
"Kill him? Is that possible?"
Duke William opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs: "I discovered during the fight that this person is actually a cultivator, Jie Jie, the blood of you Chinese cultivators is a great tonic for me, just take a sip, and you will be healed." It can restore decades of skill!”
When Liao Xian'er heard this, she was about to explode immediately, but Duke William just waved his hand gently, and Liao Xian'er sat down involuntarily and stopped moving.
Duke William shook his goblet and began to tell his story.
"Five hundred years ago, my Duke's palace was captured by werewolves. I had no choice but to flee to the east with the remaining knights and built an underground tomb here. I fell into a deep sleep because of my serious injuries."
"Before, this Duke always thought that there was no hope of revenge in this life, but since the arrival of that cultivator, this Duke has rekindled his hope."
"A mouthful of cultivator's blood can restore my skills for decades. If I absorb more of the cultivators' blood, I can break through the ranks of duke and become a prince. It's not a bad idea!"
"At that time, I can fight back to the west and take back everything that belongs to me from the werewolves!"
Having said this, Duke William looked around at us, his eyes flashing with a strange red light.
"It's just a pity that one practitioner is not enough to bring me back to the top, but the arrival of the few of you can make this Duke's dream come true!"
