vampire boyfriend's rival

Chapter 89

The headquarters of the secret circus is a castle of Romanesque architecture. The semicircular barrel vault is a representative of the architecture of the 11th and 12th centuries. They are cross-applied on the pilasters and closed arcades. artistry.There are also circular towers, and the inner skeleton structure of the castle is naked with vertical lines and sharp pointed volumes, making its interior wide, tall and bright.Use narrow windows, semicircular arches, low cupolas, and tiered door frames for decoration.Due to the extensive use of columns and vaults of various shapes, the whole building achieves a solid, heavy, balanced, stable, and saturated aesthetic effect. The narrow windows form a strong contrast with the vast interior space, making the interior of the castle dim and deep. Extremely deep, giving people a sense of mystery and darkness.And the mysterious darkness happens to be the characteristics of vampires, the impression they left on the world.

Although no one would have thought that the owner of such a building was actually a vampire who was older than this house, but the castle as a whole gave off a feeling of rising upwards.It was the first time for Stefan to see such a whole building with almost no walls, and a tall and big window between the main faces of the skeleton. She was very surprised, jumped up and down happily, and flew into the castle like visiting a museum in.The sense of ascension to the Gothic style can make people feel a strange feeling of reverence psychologically, and it will also create a sense of shock and piety in the soul.Stefan looked at the glass inlaid windows and sculptures in amazement and couldn't put them down.When a ray of sunlight shines through the inlaid window, the colorful light creates a strange beauty on the mottled and bizarre walls.

"Changing into a tutu skirt and wearing a pie-style headdress, I feel like a princess, living in a beautiful castle, waiting for my prince to pick me up on a white horse to go to the ball." Stefan leaned against the window Side, talking to himself.

Outside the window is a vast grassland. Occasionally there are one or two towering ancient trees, either in strange shapes, or directly into the sky. There are also many ruins and historical sites scattered around the castle, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are few people here, not far away. Just behind the castle is a vast ocean. Standing on the silent castle and staring at it with bated breath, you will also hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks, one after another.If you fall asleep here, it's like falling asleep with your pillow on the waves. Stefan thinks this is a paradise.It was rare for Zuo Meng to see such a small woman as Stefan, and his heart was filled with joy, and he stared at her frowning brows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, which was so beautiful.

At that time, Zuo Meng took him around all the rooms in the castle, the ancient and valuable study rooms, the bulky bamboo slips, the scroll-bound silk books, and the whirlwind-bound "Tang Yun" in an orderly compilation, and the introverted Four Treasures of the Study are amazing in quantity and high in quality , the category is complete.Pens, from the raw materials of pens, include rabbit hair, sheep whiskers, horse hair, deer hair, mouse tail, tiger hair, wolf tail, fox hair, fetal hair, human whiskers, thatch, etc. In terms of performance, there are hard Cents, soft cents, and cents, from the texture of the pen tube, there are water bamboo, mottled bamboo, palm bamboo, Zishan wood, sandalwood, nanmu, carved lacquer, ivory, rhinoceros horn, ox horn, jade, crystal, glass, gold , silver, porcelain, etc., are mostly precious materials; ink, rare natural ink or semi-natural ink, is now also a decoration; paper, Baqiao paper, Xuanquan paper, Maquanwan paper, Juyan paper, Juyan Paper, dry beach slope paper from the late Western Han Dynasty, this kind of study is like a museum; as for the inkstones, they are of different shapes, shapes and sizes, all placed on the large desk, it is like an exhibition.

Luxurious and exquisite restaurants, white ivory chopsticks, sterling silver knives and forks, handmade woven rattan baskets are well arranged, exquisitely hand-painted tea sets, exquisitely carved embossed vases, and bright crystal fruit bowls are rare and rare ;In the spacious and simple living room, the murals on the entire wall mysteriously record the transition of the times, and the noble chandelier holds its head high, disdain to narrate with outsiders; what is worth mentioning is the washroom, so many rooms have their own uniqueness. Bathrooms, and all of them are unique.The elegant pool, the crispy petals inherit the traditional bathing customs of the ancients, the closeness to nature of mud bath and salt bath, the exotic style of sand bath and sun bath, the big wooden barrel and hot spring bay, Stefan finished it in one go, and then Just dumbfounded.

However, it is a pity that the only thing that does not fit in the bedroom with a related style corresponding to the bathroom is the bed. Many bedrooms do not have a bed, and the vacant space is basically used for placing bookshelves. On the shelves are different diaries and There are items that can record their journey and leave souvenirs.Stefan knew that vampires didn't need to sleep at all, they sometimes needed to rest, so she wondered: Where did their special bed—the coffin?Of course Zuo Meng would not let her down, he took Stefan to the basement, on the first floor of the basement, there are countless collections of red wine, mellow and pleasant.The second floor of the basement is the answer to the question. Coffins of different lengths are neatly arranged, and Stefan wants to guess which one belongs to Zuo Meng.

Looking over row after row, he suddenly saw a very narrow coffin, less than one meter in length. Stefan thought it was cute, so he couldn't help but said: "This coffin is so small, how small is this child!"

"Jim is indeed the youngest in our family. He's only seven years old."

"He's..." Stefan didn't know if it was appropriate to ask, "How did he become a vampire?"

Zuo Meng shook his head, and he explained: "Our Vampire League accepts all vampires, organized and disciplined, so that we are not afraid of them causing harm to the world. As for why they become our kind, we generally don't ask, but if they Because of the master-servant relationship, oh, 200 years ago, the person who was transformed was usually considered the servant of the transformed person, but this relationship has also changed with the changes of the times, not to mention, in the past hundred years, There are almost no more like-minded people. Therefore, if there is a dispute or hatred between them because of the relationship between master and servant, the prince will let them fight a duel according to the usual practice, and then execute the loser."

"Ah?!" In modern civilized society, even Stefan, who kills ghosts and demons, still feels bloody and unbearable when faced with a higher creature like a vampire.

But this cute little coffin made Stefan and Little Jim hit it off when they first came to the Secret Circus. Little Jim is naughty by nature. Except for his sophisticated language and mature expression, Little Jim is almost the same as ordinary children, active and greedy. , full of freshness and curiosity about the outside world, not competitive, happy to be stable.Of course, in addition to his special function-conduction.But Stefan and Zuo Meng never expected that the second time they reunited here again, in front of such a cute little coffin, their hearts were extremely heavy, because in that little coffin, lying A familiar body—Jim's.
