248. Midnight Song
But Alesha's words made Zhou Chu feel that the mountain she said had her kind, and it seemed that there was no inevitable connection between the vampires who attacked the travelers passing by in this mountain, but there was no way to figure it out for a while. He was not interested, just hoped to spend it safely tonight. After all, the primary goal is to rush to London and meet with Gao Ming and others. The others are secondary goals, without affecting the primary goal.
So Zhou Chu didn't think about it carefully, just told Alesha not to sway around, then he began to close his eyes and entered the lowest state of consumption and false sleep.
Several hours passed like this. It was not until the carriage stopped that Zhou Chu opened his eyes and his body instantly returned to normal movement. Then he saw Mart coming outside the carriage with a torch.
"Mr. Lofit, we're going to get off here for the night."
"Yes." Zhou Chu answered Mart's words and got off the carriage.
As soon as I took the first step out of the carriage, I felt the bitter and howling night wind in the mountains, and with the cold that was not part of this season, I subconsciously shivered.
After mobilizing some heat to improve the body's cold resistance, Zhou Chu began to look at the surrounding environment.
As Malte said, this is a halfway up the mountain, and the road over the mountain is formed here, and a large open space is left beside the bend, which is a place for camping and resting. The outermost end of the u-shaped shape is not steep but high enough to see the valleys and river water below. The cool moonlight reflected on the river surface, reflecting the rugged cold light.
And further away from the coachman busy setting up a tent, there was a dark forest inside, but if what Mart said was true, and the vampires had never attacked people on this mountain, then the forest was nothing important, and there was still a long distance from the open space. As long as the reaction was sufficient, ordinary beasts would not come out of the woods to hurt people. And Zhou Chu also saw that the coachman, facing the woods, laid a detachable wooden fence, and one end of the fence was sharpened.
Looking at the half-man-high wooden fence, Zhou Chu didn't say anything. In this way, ordinary wild animals could not attack. As for some special ones, such as flying ones, or those people and wolves that night, they can only say that luck is really bad. Of course, this so-called bad luck is for ordinary business travelers, but tonight. He is here, so this may be the greatest luck of the Mart family.
If something really happens.
After laying out the wooden fence, the tent was quickly built. Zhou Chu chose the outermost tent. After a brief chat with Malte, he entered his tent. However, in this process, the twin Loli was still hiding behind their mother, looking at him curiously and the chain that Alesha became.
What abilities or talents should be possessed by this pair of twin Loli, so you can detect Alesa. You must know that even Father Aaron did not notice the abnormality of his chain.
But I just realized that the twins should not have really seen the existence of Alesa, so Zhou Chu had nothing to worry about. All he needed to do was just to be an ordinary passenger quietly and follow the convoy to Bucharest.
So he just got into his tent and fell asleep again.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhou Chu seemed to hear Alesha calling him, so he opened his eyes in the dark.
Is there any situation? He made the judgment like this at the first time, but while opening his eyes and releasing his perception, he also found that the surroundings were still quiet and there was no abnormality.
But Alesa tilted her head.
‘Someone is singing.’ she said.
Zhou Chu listened again and there was still silence around him, except for the night wind whistling through the woods, the sound of the valleys and cliffs, and the even breathing of the coachman and the Mart family sleeping in the tent.
‘I can’t hear it.’ Zhou Chu shook his head and said to Alesha.
Alesha looked at Zhou Chu with some confusion. It seemed that even if she could speak, she preferred to use expressions to convey her mood. But it seemed that in this world, Alesha's growth and recovery were much faster. However, after looking at Zhou Chu with some confusion for a while, Alesha seemed to understand why Zhou Chu could not hear the sound.
So Alesha stretched out her translucent hand and the slender and transparent fingertips touched Zhou Chu's forehead.
The moment Alesha's fingertips touched Zhou Chu's forehead, in addition to the slightly cold breath, there was also a faint singing voice in Zhou Chu's ears.
This song is different from all the songs Zhou Chu had heard before. It is like a female voice singing softly, and it seems like the soft echo of countless female voices. The voice is ethereal and ethereal, with a faint sorrow and a hint of sadness that seems to be able to convey and penetrate into the soul.
Is the ghost singing? No wonder I couldn't hear it just now. Zhou Chu just listened for a while, then stood up and said to Alesha.
‘Let’s go and have a look.’
Alesha nodded excitedly, and before Zhou Chu could lift the tent, she had already whizzed out of the tent. However, Zhou Chu listened first and confirmed that the coachman and the Mart family were still asleep, then she gently crawled out of the tent.
‘Lead the way.’
Zhou Chu silently 'sayed' to Alesha.
Alesa nodded, and turned her way of walking from a normal girl walking to a half-floating in the air, and the ghosts seen in ordinary movies, and then floated forward.
After taking Zhou Chu into the woods, Zhou Chu looked behind him and nodded.
‘It can be faster.’
So Alesha suddenly "flyed" and her figure turned into a afterimage. She instantly ignored and passed through the high and low trees, stopped on the trunks a hundred meters away, then turned around and looked at Zhou Chu.
‘Is this OK?’ she asked.
Zhou Chu nodded again, and then followed Alesha at the same speed.
In fact, in terms of actual speed alone, the speed used by Zhou Chu is much faster than Alesha, but it is blocked by terrain and obstacles, so he followed her at a speed faster than Alesha. From this point of view, Alesha's spiritual state has an absolute advantage in movement and will not be disturbed by any terrain and obstacles.
One man and one ghost were flying and running quickly in the jungle halfway up the mountainside of Lorenzo. After a while, he came to a valley with lush vegetation.
Alesha stopped at the entrance of the valley, then turned around and looked at Zhou Chu.
Although he didn't speak, Zhou Chu could still understand Alesha's meaning - from here on, you have to be careful to get closer and closer.
So he slowed down and followed Alesa, walking lightly but without any trace towards the valley.
Unlike the lush vegetation at the entrance of the valley, the more we headed into the valley, the more vegetation became more and more sparse, and there were more and more gray rocks exposed on the surface. At the same time, Zhou Chu also saw that some broken stone pillars and stone slabs could be vaguely seen between the lucky rocks and the ground.
Site?
More and more, damaged stone sculptures, stone pillars, and smooth ground confirmed his speculation. Judging from the surrounding ruins and traces, it seemed that this place used to be a palace, and now his and Alesa's location is from the main hall of the palace to the backyard.
Then Alesha stopped her floating, turned around, pointed behind a broken stone wall in the distance, and then turned into a afterimage, wrapped around Zhou Chu's hand, and turned into a chain of water-blue teardrops.
While Alesa transformed into a teardrop bracelet and wrapped around Zhou Chu's arm, Zhou Chu also heard the song. It was more real and ethereal than what she heard in the camp, and the faint sadness was clearer.
Zhou Chu adjusted his breathing and heartbeat to a minimum and difficult to detect, and then followed the singing and quietly walked towards the stone wall.
Then he saw a courtyard, an abandoned one that could still be judged by the surrounding stone carvings, collapsed stone walls and decorations.
In the courtyard covered with weeds, abandoned and damaged, there was a fountain that had long been exhausted without any water inside. More than a dozen translucent, blue women were surrounding the fountain, facing a slightly crooked and half-breaked statue, singing intently.
The sound is more sincere at such a distance. In addition to the ethereal beauty of the human voice, the melody of the song is also clearer, and it sounds like a song expressing some longing and sadness.
The translucent and blue ghosts, each of them, are extremely beautiful, with a pure breath that looks like a goddess, and does not have the gloom and pale feeling that ordinary ghosts have. They look like a group of night elves and fairies in dreams singing here.
Not an ordinary ghost. Zhou Chu, who lost his sensibility and emotions, did not startle and indulge in this strange but extremely dreamy beauty at the first time. Instead, he was thinking directly about the other party's possible attack methods and whether he could defend and hurt them.
He looked up at the statue that had been damaged by half. The head of the statue had been damaged by half. It can only be seen that the statue carved was a tall and very curved woman. She wore a luxurious palace robe and had half of her damaged chin and side contours, but the nobility and perseverance of this woman. However, unlike human women, the contours of the ears on one side of the statue's face were carved into a pointed and upward shape.
Pointed ears...
