Chapter 161 Capturing Quilon (9)
Chapter 161 Capturing Quilon (9)
When night falls, many vampires in black robes appear in the woods near Croft Castle.
They searched the forest silently and quietly.
There is no moon tonight and visibility is very low, but vampires have good night vision and they can catch traces of creatures active at night.
Sides gave them orders to capture Quillon as soon as they found his whereabouts.
Sidse was also on this search. He was a pure-blooded vampire, and if Quillon fought to the death, his presence would help reduce casualties.
After all, Quillon is also pure-blooded, and he can easily kill mixed-blood vampires.
Inside Croft Castle.
Neve's room was on the second floor. She had a separate bedroom and did not sleep with other maids because sometimes Sidse would come to see her at night.
It is now past eight o'clock in the evening, and Niv is not sleepy yet. She usually goes to bed after ten o'clock.
She sat at the desk, writing in her diary with a quill pen by the light of candlelight.
This was a habit she had developed after arriving at Croft Castle. She had been here for almost a month and had almost gotten used to life here. Although she had made some friends, she still missed her family.
So she wrote all her thoughts in her diary.
Aside from Sidse occasionally getting mad at her, Neve felt this place was pretty good. At least she had enough food and clothing, and the daily work wasn't much.
After finishing her diary, Neve put the notebook into the drawer. She stood up and went to the balcony, overlooking the scene under the dark night sky.
But there's no moon tonight, so there's nothing to see.
Neve felt the gentle evening breeze brushing against her cheeks, leaning her hands on the railing and gazing into the distance, hoping to see some stars or something.
The housekeeper Joey said that from today on, we are not allowed to leave the room at night. He said that there have been more wild boars in the mountains recently and he is afraid of encountering wild boars if we go out at night.
But Neve felt that no matter what, the wild boar would not dig through the thick walls of the castle to get in.
Besides, she was on the second-floor balcony, enjoying the evening breeze, so nothing should happen.
Besides, wild boars can’t climb walls, she comforted herself.
Suddenly, there was a sound of something heavy falling from the trimmed grass not far away. Neve immediately squatted down and looked at the grass vigilantly through the gap between the railings.
Neve moved back while observing, she always had a bad feeling in her heart.
Could it be that the wild boar really dug through the wall and ran in?
Suddenly, a pale, bony hand grabbed the balcony railing. Niffe was startled and quickly stood up and ran into the room.
It's just that the people behind are faster.
As soon as Neve ran into the room, a cold hand grabbed her shoulder. Before she could even shout for help, the person behind her covered her mouth tightly.
Neve struggled desperately, making whimpering sounds, and she kept elbowing the people behind her.
For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate.
Neve stabilized her lower body, spread her legs into a horse stance, then grabbed the wrist of the person behind her, bent down suddenly, and threw him over her shoulder.
It was only when she saw the person lying on the ground with pale skin and sharp fangs that she realized that this person was a vampire.
Quillon never expected that Neve, a human, would be so strong. He quickly got up from the ground, and Neve also screamed at the top of her lungs, "Help! Help! Help! Someone come!!!"
Quillon lunged at Neveu. It had been a long time since he'd sucked human blood, and he comforted himself that it was normal to make mistakes. He hadn't bitten Neveu just now because he thought she looked easy to control, and the strength difference between vampires and humans was huge.
In addition, he wanted to take the person away to eat with the two children, so he looked down on Neve as a human.
Now Neve is calling for help, he has to suck blood before others come, otherwise he will be at a great loss.
Neve had been paying attention to Quilon's movements. She swung the coat rack beside her and hit Quilon directly, temporarily preventing Quilon from approaching her.
Her voice was so penetrating that even Sidse in the mountains could hear it.
Sidse immediately led his men back to Croft Castle. He quickened his pace, hoping in his heart that Neve could hold on a little longer and not be captured by Quillon.
On the other side, Neve was forced to the edge of the balcony by Quilon. She held up the broken coat rack and warned Quilon with a serious face, "Sides and his men will be here soon. I advise you to surrender!"
"Little girl, I also advise you to come with me obediently. Otherwise, if I hurt you, it will be a waste of the blood in your body." Kuilong smiled sinisterly. No matter how strong this human was, he would still be afraid when facing his fangs.
Neve was indeed afraid that Quillon would suck her blood, but that was no reason for her to retreat.
"Go eat your shit." Neve turned her head to look behind her and encouraged herself in her heart.
It's okay, it's okay, it's only the second floor. Just control your body when you jump and try to minimize the force of your fall.
She prepared herself mentally and jumped directly from the balcony railing.
Quillon walked over in shock. He never thought that Neve would dare to jump down. He stood at the balcony railing and looked down, only to find that Sidse had caught Neve as she fell.
He realized that he would have to stay in Croft Castle tonight, so Quillon surrendered directly. There was no point in resisting any further, except that the two children would starve for a while.
Sidse held Neve in his arms, and for the first time he felt fear.
"Sides!" Neve exclaimed in surprise. She thought she would fall to the ground and was prepared to break her arms and legs.
Sids's face was cold and his tone was very bad. "Didn't I tell you not to go out at night?"
Hearing this, Niv's good impression disappeared. She frowned and struggled to get down. "You have two eggs hanging under your eyebrows, which looks good but is useless (this is a Chinese saying). Why don't you check to see if that person is in my room?"
Although Sidse didn't understand what bird language Neve was speaking, he could hear that Neve was scolding him.
"Shut up." Sidse simply put the man down and said coldly. He didn't want to argue with Neve right now.
Quillon, who was on the balcony, had been taken away and would be imprisoned in the dungeon of Croft Castle. The two little monsters had not yet been found, and Quillon still needed to be interrogated.
Neve rolled her eyes silently at Sidse's back, and said to Joey who came hurriedly, "Mr. Joey, the coat rack in my room is broken. Can I get a new one?"
Joey was stunned. He knew about vampires, and he was a little surprised to see Neve was intact. "Okay, I'll have someone send you a new coat rack tomorrow."
"Are you okay?" Joey asked out of concern.
Neve shook her head. "No, luckily I'm strong."
"Okay, okay, go back and rest first. I'll let you have a day off tomorrow. What happened tonight has affected your sleep." Joey felt that Neve was still feeling scared. In order to comfort Neve, Joey decided to let her have a day off tomorrow.
Neve was very happy about this unexpected surprise. She could sleep until noon.
The next morning.
Gu Chang in the palace received the message delivered by the crow.
After he finished reading the note, he patted the crow's head and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Do you want anything to eat?"
Gu Chang is now in the study, designing the venue plan for the wedding.
The crow hopped over to the desk and looked around with its head tilted.
Gu Chang sat back in his chair, folded his hands, and then rested his elbows on the table.
Crow walked to Gu Chang's left and stared at the dazzling sapphire ring on his desk.
"This won't do. This is the ring Cedric gave me. You like shiny things, right?" Gu Chang said softly, opened the drawer under the desk, and took out a small gift box.
It was filled with broken diamonds and various gemstones.
The crow picked up the shiniest diamond and flew away.
Gu Chang put the gift box back to its original place, thinking of the message from Cedric that said Quillon was in Croft Castle.
I guessed that the next plot point should be coming.
