There were still ten days left before homecoming. Alice planned to go on a " honeymoon " with Nadia in the few days before school started.
Nadia's mother, Miss Catherine, naturally wouldn't choose to be a third wheel. The novel she had written these days had already been published in a youth literature magazine. The novel was about vampires, and it was said to be quite popular. Many readers had left comments for her in the online book review section.
This kind of peaceful life was exactly what Catherine yearned for. In the original time and space, she was very jealous of Elena.
Elena had friends, Stefan, and everything that Catherine wanted. She was so happy, but she always looked sad. Catherine couldn't stand it.
Now that she had such a life, she would naturally cherish it.
Alice and Nadia were driving an off-road vehicle, planning to go on a road trip. They didn't have a destination, so they drove wherever there was a road. If they were in the wild at night, they would take out tents from the car to set up some firewood and start a fire.
Nadia, who had lived for 500 years, was very experienced in surviving in the wild. In this aspect, she was better than Alice, and the two of them had a good time together.
Seven days before homecoming, the two of them arrived in the city of Chicago.
Located in the southern part of Lake Michelle in the Midwestern United States, Chicago was one of the world's most famous international financial centers. It was also the largest commercial center and one of the largest futures markets in the United States. The number of new businesses in the urban area had always been the highest in the United States, and it was rated as the most balanced economy in the United States. In addition, there were many world-famous high-rise buildings in the Chicago, and it was known as the " hometown of skyscrapers."
It was already dusk when the two women arrived. After finding a five-star hotel to stay in, they held hands and strolled around the night view of this bustling city.
During the walk, Alice wanted to hear about Nadia's life in the past 500 years, so Nadia told her about it.
They passed by a bar and entered it.
The bar was located in a remote area, so there weren't many people who came here to relax and kill time at night.
The two of them sat at the bar counter and ordered some drinks to continue their conversation.
The bartender at the bar counter was a dark-skinned old woman. She was very thin and tall, and looked to be in her sixties. She was the owner of this bar. Because the bartender had passed away not long ago for some reason, she had not hired a new employee until now, so she could only work part-time.
When she was pouring wine for Alice, she saw Alice's face and felt that she looked familiar, so she asked,"Have we met somewhere before?”
Alice looked at the old woman and recalled for a moment. She soon understood that she and Nadia had coincidentally come to this bar.
In 1920, Nadia's mother, Catherine, came here. At that time, the old woman was still in her prime. Now, more than 90 years had passed, and the old woman was more than 100 years old. But now she looked like she was only in her 60s. Obviously, she used magic to maintain her skin. Yes, she was a witch.
Alice and Catherine looked at least 50% alike, so it was normal for the old witch to find Alice familiar.
Alice thought of something and asked the old witch,""Do you know where Klaus is? He heard that he was in this city recently.”
"The one among the vampire ancestors?”the old witch asked.
"It's him." Alice nodded.
"I can feel that you are also a witch. Klaus is not a kind person. I advise you not to get in touch with him.”The old witch kindly reminded Alice. She did not know why, but she felt very close to Alice, so she said this.
This feeling was naturally due to Alice's other personality's identity as the planet's will, which was reflected in the aura of nature emitted by her main personality. As long as it was a witch, a wizard, or even a traveler, they would unconsciously feel a sense of closeness to her.
"I was just asking casually. By the way, we've never met before.”Alice shrugged.
After the old witch went to entertain the other guests, Nadia asked,""You're going to look for Klaus?"
Alice nodded. She didn't plan to do that, but since she was in Chicago, she had an idea."Klaus has a few coffins with him, and one of them has a soulless woman sealed in it. I happen to know that woman's soul, and I learned my magic from her.”
She was naturally referring to the corpse of the witch Easter, whose heart had been dug out by her own son, Klaus, more than a thousand years ago.
Hearing that it was a woman, Nadia frowned. She was jealous, and Alice felt that it was necessary to explain,""She's a middle-aged witch. I don't like that kind of person. Don't think too much.”
Hearing that it was a middle-aged man, Nadia instantly calmed down.
"What kind of witch would be locked in a coffin by a first-generation vampire like Klaus?”Nadia was interested.
"She's Klaus 'mother and can also be regarded as the ancestor of the witches.”
" No wonder!" Nadia suddenly realized. Sometimes, she felt that Alice's magic was more powerful than the average witch. It seemed that her magic was learned from the ancestors of the witches.
"How do you know that witch?”This story that involved the ancestors of various supernatural creatures obviously piqued Nadia's interest.
Alice casually set up a soundproof barrier that only enveloped the two of them and began to tell Nadia the story from more than a hundred years ago. Of course, the story omitted the part where she became a vampire. Nadia did not know that Alice was a vampire. In fact, in this world, the only person who knew that Alice was a vampire was Easter.
Next, Alice told Nadia a story.
In the story, the Gilbert family had two magic rings that could protect ordinary people from supernatural creatures. The person wearing the ring would be resurrected after being killed by existences such as werewolves, vampires, and witches. However, before they were resurrected, their souls would float to a place called " Supernatural Purgatory." That was where all supernatural creatures would arrive after they died. Alice had met her mother, Easter, there.
Easter was not a vampire, but she had created vampires. She had transformed her husband and children into vampires through the ritual of the Immortality Curse.
Nadia listened to Alice's story with great interest, especially the part about the origin of vampires, which she did not know before.
