"Indeed! Personal items could indeed reflect a lot of useful information.”A strong reflection flashed across Qian's lens, and the smile on his face looked like the newest dry sauce that was about to be drunk. Everyone from Qing Xue shuddered.
"You want to find out the identity of the vampire from these things?”Burg asked.
"Of course, why else would I steal it from him?”I looked at the things on the table and said awkwardly,"But I don't know much about European things. You're the children of big families, so you should have come into contact with some European jewelry, art, and so on! Can you see anything?"
Ninja picked up the pocket watch and fountain pen with interest and looked at them. Then, his eyes widened in surprise."This is…"
"What's wrong? What did you see?" Everyone gathered around nervously, except for Atobe, who sat there with a frown and did not say a word.
"This is the work of a famous German watchmaker in the middle of the 17th century! Now, almost none of them have been passed down. Look, there's even the creator's signature here.”Ninjitsu pointed at a few letters on the side of the pocket watch.
"I couldn't tell that this vampire has such good taste!”I rubbed my chin.
"Then isn't this worth a lot of money?" Kikumaru and Momoshi began to automatically convert the pocket watch into various foods in their minds, Mukuri and Shiro into cakes, and various candies appeared in Marui Bunta's mind.
"I'm afraid the value of this watch can't be measured with money. Perhaps only an immortal creature like a vampire could preserve such an ancient thing so well.”Ninja carefully looked at the pocket watch through the flat mirror on the bridge of his nose.
"Atobe, do you know that vampire?"”
Atobe's expression turned ugly. After a long time, he nodded. It was obvious that he didn't want to remember that memory. He took a sip of red wine and sorted out his thoughts before slowly speaking.
It turned out that Atobe had lived in Germany before he was five years old. It was there that he met Asakura, who had gone to Germany with his family. At that time, the Asakura family wanted to expand their influence and needed to cooperate with a large financial group. Therefore, the two families discussed and decided on the marriage between Atobe and Asakura. One day, when Dusk Atoshi and Asakura went to the park with the butler, they happened to meet the vampire prince Apples who was out foraging for food. It was the first time the two children had seen such a terrifying person flying in the sky. They were shocked. At that time, Asakura was carrying a cross given by the high priest of the Roman Church, so Apples couldn't touch her. Moreover, she was born in a Yin-Yang family, so she came back to her senses before Atobe. Apples couldn't do anything to her, so he could only turn around and grab Atobe. Asakura, who had already regained his senses, left Atobe behind and ran away without looking back. In the end, it was the butler who called for help in time, and the Atobe family asked the nearby Churches to save Atobe from Apples. After that incident, Atobe fell seriously ill and couldn't speak for a long time. Atobe's parents had also sent him from Germany to England because of this incident.
"I didn't expect you to have such a bizarre experience! He's really not simple!" I laughed as I looked at Atobe. It was as if I had just heard a funny story, completely ignoring the feelings of the person involved.
Atobe glared at me. I rubbed my nose in embarrassment. It was human nature to build my happiness on others and pain! Besides, I've experienced even stranger things than this.
Burg and Yukimura looked at me meaningfully. Qian's glasses suddenly reflected light. He looked at Murong's smile and decisively added a star to Murong Ziyun's personal information.
"Then why did he say that he was here for revenge this time? According to what you said, you were the one who was arrested back then. It's not his turn to seek revenge, right?”Feeling uncomfortable under Atobe's sharp gaze, he quickly changed the topic.
"I only found out about this later. Not long after this incident, the Asakura family joined forces with the Roman church and attacked Apples 'lair, killing everyone in his family.”
I sucked in a breath of cold air. The Asakura family is indeed ruthless!"
"Why would a Christian collaborate with the Asakura family so easily?" Oshitari asked in confusion. I remember that those people from the Christian Church don't like to interact with Onmyoji.”
Atobe frowned." I'm not too sure about that. I only know that the Asakura family's trip to Germany seemed to be related to the Church." It seemed like he was going to sign some kind of contract with the Church. At that time, the Church also felt that Upfield was too arrogant, so they took this opportunity to eliminate him.”
"In other words, the attack on you and Ma Cang was just an excuse!”It was a trick that had been used in the history books. "But isn't it a little too cruel to have their entire family destroyed? No wonder they came all the way here.”I raised my eyebrows and said nonchalantly as I spun the fountain pen I stole from the vampire in my hand.
" It's said that Apples was also seriously injured at that time. Both the Roman Church and the Asakura family thought that he would not live for long. I didn't expect..."
"This is called letting the tiger return to the mountain. There will be endless trouble in the future! They could only blame the two groups of people from the Christian and Asakura families for not being professional enough.”If Spring Rain Brothel's professional killers were to do it, they would definitely not leave a single one alive.
Suddenly, I felt that everyone was looking at me strangely.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" I put down my pen and asked.
"Hey Murong, aren't you afraid at all?”Kikumaru asked curiously.
"What are you afraid of?" I looked back blankly.
"What Atobe said just now, most people would find it hard to accept!" Murong wasn't surprised at all when he heard that such a big grudge had been involved in such a matter!”
"This development is very normal! The Vatican and the vampires were sworn enemies. The Asakura family wanted to use the attack on Atobe and Asakura to promote their cooperative relationship with the Church and consolidate their power in Europe. The church could use this opportunity to get rid of dissidents and get some benefits from the Asakura family. Even if Apples had not attacked Atobe and Asakura, the Roman Church and the Asakura family would have found other excuses to destroy him to establish their authority. All they wanted was a reason.”
Atobe listened to Murong's analysis and was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. She had thought about it for a long time before figuring it out, but she could actually tell it so clearly after hearing it from someone else. This woman…
Ninja and Atobe looked at each other and asked,"You can deduce so much just by listening to what Atobe said? How do you know so much about the ways of these big families? Most people wouldn't think so deeply!”
I looked at Ninja as if he was an idiot and lazily said,""Nintoshi-kun, don't you read the history books? Anyone who had read the art of war would know about this! During the period of feudal vassals contending for hegemony in history, this kind of little trick was simply not presentable.”
Tao Cheng scratched his head and asked in confusion,""Dukedom? Was there such an era in Japanese history? I've only heard of the Warring States Period."
"I've never heard of dukedom!”Yukimura smiled at me, and Ji Xiang, who was beside me, also looked puzzled.
"I'm talking about the history of China…the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period…"
"Does this happen often in the history of China?”Kikumaru continued to act like a curious baby.
"I guess so! In fact, as long as there was a struggle for interests, there would be infighting. The history of China was no exception. It could even be said that it had developed into a culture.”I carefully explained to everyone.
"I don't like to scheme against each other." Xiang Ri said with disgust.
"Yes!" I nodded seriously." I don't like it either. People who scheme against each other are usually unhappy. However, there were many times when fate was not in one's hands!”
After hearing my serious words, everyone raised their heads and looked at me. Some of them were puzzled, some were puzzled, and most of them were complicated.
I looked at the time and said," Alright, it's getting late. We still have classes tomorrow. Everyone, go back and rest early!”As he spoke, he waved his hand and wiped everything on the table away.
Atobe stood up and said," It's already so late. It might not be safe to go back now. Let's stay here tonight!"”As he spoke, he called the butler to arrange the room.
Since Atobe had already said so, it was just a waste of time to say that he wanted to go back to sleep. He would never consider other people's opinions when he had made a decision. I yawned and said,"I'll stay in the original room!" Then I'll go to bed first. Good night, everyone.”With that, he waved his hand and walked upstairs.
All the boys present knew that I had once lived in the Atobe family. Only Ji Xiang timidly tugged at her brother and said,"Senior Murong seems to be very familiar with Atobe-kun's house!”Fortunately, the village beauty smiled and did not answer.
Ninja watched Murong walk into the room with a puzzled look, then looked at Atobe meaningfully. His innocent partner asked loudly with a puzzled look,"Atobe, why did Murong go to your room?”
The hall fell silent again because of Xiang Ri's words. Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Atobe. Atobe coughed awkwardly and said in a very elegant tone with a smile,""It's getting late. Everyone, rest early!”After instructing the butler to entertain him, he walked into the guest room with a big bed as if nothing had happened.
