Fang Qingyan brought the old duke's corpse back to Castellan Castle.
Looking at the ancient castle with a long history in front of her, Fang Qingyan sighed in her heart.
Many, many stories had happened in this castle. Old butler Albert, the tax collection squad, Count Castin…many people had left their footprints here.
But there was no doubt that they would all come to an end today.
……
"Ka-"
The door opened.
Fang Qingyan placed Castin's body into the coffin.
Just as he was about to close the coffin lid, he hesitated for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he moved the old duke's body out.
"A person dies like a lamp going out…I'll give you a new coat so that you can leave in a more dignified manner.”
Fang Qingyan walked to Castin's wardrobe. After opening it, she chose a dark purple robe that the old count liked to wear most.
Then, he laid Castin's body flat and unbuttoned his gown.
Pa da---
Suddenly, something fell out of the sleeve of the gown and landed on the ground, making a strange sound.
Fang Qingyan was stunned and looked towards the voice. It was actually a yellow envelope.
"Why does the old duke have an unmailed letter with him…Who is it for?”
He picked up the envelope with a puzzled expression.
When he saw the signature, his eyes widened. Edward Dracula!
"For me?" He was a little surprised.
Moreover, judging from the ink on it, this letter had been written a few months ago, but it had been hidden by the old duke.
Rip!
Fang Qingyan opened the envelope and took out a piece of parchment from inside...
The new content was:
"Edward, when you read this letter, it means that I've already arrived at Ancestor Lilith's divine kingdom. I know you won't be sad. At most, you'll feel a little disappointed. After all, we've only been together for a few short years. I didn't do you much favors.”
"Actually, I know that Marquis Bruch didn't give me that drop of blood essence. The moment I consumed the blood essence, I realized that my butler was actually a terrifying Marquis!”
……
The corner of Fang Qingyan's mouth twitched. He flipped to the next page and continued reading.
"Hahaha, are you surprised? I don't know how I saw through it. Actually, it's not that strange. Five hundred years ago, I once consumed a drop of Marquis Brouch's blood essence, which allowed me to advance from Viscount to Earl…Marquis Brouch was a six-winged marquis at the peak of the realm.”
"I'm really grateful that you're willing to save my life. People whose lifeblood had been corroded by the poison of the Medusa clan lived in extreme pain. Every minute and every second was torture, and they were better off dead than alive.”
"But I really want to see Elizabeth again…I've let them down my entire life. I couldn't give Camilla and Elizabeth a happy life. However, this was reality. Everyone would face difficult choices and the test of fate when they lived.”
"Finally, regardless of whether this wish can be fulfilled or not, I will repay you with a shocking secret.”
A shocking secret?
Fang Qingyan raised his eyebrows. What other secret could shock a Two-Winged Marquis like him?
He continued reading.
"You should have heard of the legends of the nine Vampire Princes and the secrets of the Twelve-winged Bloodlord. But you definitely don't know why the Nine Great Princes, who were known to be immortal and indestructible, died? And the reason why we Blood Breeds haven't had a new Prince for hundreds of thousands of years.”
"I can show you the way. The answer you want should be there.”
……
"Two hundred years ago, in a war with the orcs in the Draenor Mountains, the army I was in was crippled, and I fled to a deep mountain. "I discovered an underground palace there. After exploring it, I was shocked to discover that this was actually the tomb of a Prince Blood Ancestor from hundreds of thousands of years ago.”
"There is an indestructible stone door outside the palace. The entrance door is closed, but there is a key inserted on it. It seems to be deliberately left behind for people to open and enter.”
" But I couldn't turn the key even after I used all my strength. The door seemed to be laughing at me. The earl was not fit to enter at all…"
"I couldn't accept it. I tried again and again…and finally gave up.”
"But I brought the key out, thinking that I would come back and try it when I become a Marquis. Now it seems that I won't be able to wait until that day. Hahaha, life is unpredictable.”
" This is the second biggest secret in my heart. I've never revealed it to anyone in all these years…When Camilla bid farewell to me, I gave the key to her. It should be with Elizabeth now.”
"This tomb of the prince is my gift to you, but please promise me one thing. When you retrieve the key, don't hurt Elizabeth…she's a good child.”
" Finally, I wish you good luck, Edward. I hope you won't turn into a pile of dust like me…and die a sad death.”
After reading the letter.
Fang Qingyan was filled with emotions.
In fact, with the system, he did not lack the so-called cultivation resources at all. However, the old duke had also put in a lot of effort to use such a big secret as a thank you to Fang Qingyan.
"The tomb of a prince is worth a visit. Who knows, there might be unexpected discoveries.”
Fang Qingyan thought to himself.
However, he felt a little speechless. He had just separated from Elizabeth, and now he had to go to her to get the key again?
Looking down at the old duke's body, Fang Qingyan shook his head and threw away his distracting thoughts.
She squatted down and continued changing his "shroud".
……
Fifteen minutes later.
In the garden behind the castle, there was an additional grave where Count Castern would rest.
"Should I engrave an epitaph?”
Fang Qingyan looked at the tombstone and thought for a moment. Then, she raised her hand and gestured with her slender index finger.
With a sizzling sound, a line of words appeared on the tombstone:
His life had been rough, but he had a daughter he was proud of, Elizabeth.
……
Whoosh--
The sound of air being torn apart rang out.
Patasha flew to Fang Qingyan's shoulder and rubbed her head against her master's hair affectionately.""Chirp chirp…"
Fang Qingyan reached out to touch its gorgeous feathers and smiled."Don't worry. No matter where I go next, I'll bring you along. Let me pack my things and we'll leave this place.”
"Chirp chirp!"
Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on his face. He sighed helplessly."But before we leave, we should get rid of this annoying fly first.”
Fang Qingyan's spiritual power had already sensed that someone was approaching with malicious intent.
The target was obviously him.
