249. Night Witch Lilith
Zhou Chu was not surprised that he had seen it countless times in the real world, with the unique and obvious pointed ear characteristics of the elves, which he could recognize at a glance, appeared on this statue that was surrounded and sung by more than a dozen translucent female ghosts.
Could it be that there are so-called elves in this world?
However, in the information obtained in the shelter, there is no race like the elves.
Just as Zhou Chu was thinking about the problem, the water-blue teardrop bracelet suddenly lit up, and a warning without warning suddenly appeared in Zhou Chu's perception. However, before he could react, he heard a cold voice with a hint of temptation.
"It's such a rude thing to not be able to greet you. Please forgive our inconsiderate guests."
There was only a moment to catch a figure in the corner of his eyes, and Zhou Chu's feet had already kicked to the spot. While the ground was instantly cracked, the person shot out like an arrow, and instantly was more than ten meters away from the stone wall.
When his feet landed on the ground again, Zhou Chu raised his head and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in the light of his eyes.
A woman seems to be a ghost at the same time, but compared with the female ghosts I saw before, the woman sitting on the stone wall seemed to have clearer faces and bodies, and could clearly see her delicate and beautiful facial features, as well as the curves that even a loose and luxurious bohemian dress could not conceal. Moreover, her translucent body was not so blue as it was shining with a crystal sapphire blue like a broken diamond.
The woman looked at Zhou Chu jumping back in surprise, and was more than ten meters away from her. Then she was a little confused. Then she seemed to understand something and smiled charmingly.
"Don't be nervous, stranger, I have no malice, I just express our poor hospitality."
The sound was still a strange mixture of coldness and a hint of temptation, and the ethereal sound that seemed to be unique to the ghost's speech, which made her words sound like it was with magic that could make people relax and irresistible.
However, Zhou Chu, who had no sense of emotion, did not relax his vigilance because of this. His muscles were still tense and he was staring at the other party.
"Humans... are really suspicious and cautious."
The woman laughed again, then held her loose sleeves and sat on the stone wall. She owed Zhou Chu slightly. She was considered to have performed etiquette before continuing.
"But I must ask you to believe that I have no malice. In fact, I don't remember much of the years since I haven't seen humans and vampires. It's such a long time... So I just saw humans again after so long, and I was a little happy and disobedient. I just wanted someone to speak."
She said this, then stretched out her finger and pointed at Zhou Chu.
"What's more, you're bringing our kind."
Similar? Zhou Chu followed her finger pointing, and just lowered her head, the tears bracelet on her wrist had turned into a afterimage, landing on the ground beside Zhou Chu, changing into what Alesha originally looked like, and then stood there, looking at the woman curiously.
And the woman also smiled and stared at Alesa.
After a while, Alesa shook her head.
"I'm not your kind."
Well? A question mark just popped up in Zhou Chu's heart, and he heard Alesha's voice in his heart.
‘I don’t know…but I just think that I am not the same as them, she is not a pure ghost.’
Hearing Alesha's statement, Zhou Chu looked at the woman again.
The woman raised her eyebrows, a little surprised that Alesa could see this, but she was not nervous. Instead, she smiled at Zhou Chu's gaze and said the answer.
"Well, if we are to be precise, we are not pure ghosts. How to say it, in the terms of humans and the Holy See, we are banshees, the banshe ghosts bound here by the thousand-year curse."
The banshee ghost?... Zhou Chu asked a question in his heart. Although he seemed to have heard of this kind of thing, he knew nothing about what this kind of thing was, and he could only know that it was one of the spiritual monsters.
But he couldn't ask. Once he asked, the other party would feel something was different, or he would take advantage of his lack of understanding of them, so Zhou Chu just nodded, at least she was right. In a sense, the woman in front of him and Alesha were really the same kind, different types and forms of ghosts.
"Are you the dead souls of the elves?" Zhou Chu still asked his question. Seeing the other party's confused expression, he added: "That statue..."
"That statue, yes, it's an elf," said the woman, "but it's a long-standing existence, so long that when they were extinct, there was no one with us."
Seeing Zhou Chu still waiting for her answer, the woman floated down from the stone wall and owed her slightly.
"Please allow me to introduce myself before telling the history of this statue, I am Lilith."
Lilith? This should have been just an ordinary name, but several conjunctions immediately popped up in Zhou Chu's mind, the demon, the Queen of the Night, and the ancestor of the vampire. Each of them seemed to be able to have a relationship with Lilith, and each word was equated with extreme danger.
So he subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
But such a slight action still fell into Lilith's eyes. Her eyes turned slightly, and she asked in disapproval.
"It sounds like you've heard my name?"
Zhou Chu did not speak, but quickly thought about the many things Lilith said in his mind, in reality, and then chose the last possible one before raising his head.
"You are the wife of the vampire ancestor? Lilith, the witch of the night?"
The woman showed a slightly surprised expression and looked at Zhou Chu thoughtfully.
"It's not surprising that you know the wife of the vampire ancestor, but it's also surprising that you know the title of the Witch of Night. Guest, can you be a fan of ancient history, right?"
Zhou Chu did not answer Lilith's question. Since the other party did not deny it, then combined with the legend in reality, the identity of the woman in front of him was about to emerge.
The ancestor of the vampire, Cain's wife, the witch who controls the night, Lilith.
But why is she here? Why is she in a ghost state again? If it is a ghost state, then it means that the so-called witch of the Night is not the so-called demon? Or is the soul of the demon still transformed and existed?
Or is there another statement about the so-called Witch of the Night?
One question after another, but Zhou Chu had no intention of inquiry, just nodded at Lilith.
"I'm so sorry to disturb you. We'll leave now."
He did not forget that his direct and final purpose was to arrive in Bucharest and meet with Gao Ming at the fastest speed, rather than participate in various sudden events.
So he prepared to leave.
But Lilith made a sound, keeping him.
"Hey, guest, why are you so anxious to leave?"
Zhou Chu stopped and looked at her half-sidedly. Although he had stopped, his body still maintained a state of tight muscles and nerves in his body, and he could burst and leave at any time.
"I have no malice." Lilith smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile, and a little helpless in her tone, "I just want to chat with people, and there is no other meaning. Although I am not very convinced now, I still hope that you can trust me, the guest."
Zhou Chu stared at Lilith's eyes for a moment, then came to the conclusion that the truth could not be judged, so he was about to continue leaving. But at this time, Alesha came out of the bracelet and pulled the corner of Zhou Chu's clothes, as if she wanted to leave.
‘Do you want to stay?’ Zhou Chu asked Alesha in his heart.
Alesa nodded.
After judging the opponent's possible strength, Zhou Chu finally chose to stay. After all, if the opponent had no malice, he could also learn about this ruins and the strangeness of this mountain.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lilith.
"Okay, I'll stay, I'll leave before dawn."
"That's great." Lilith smiled happily, then turned around and made a gesture of inviting Zhou Chu.
Zhou Chu hesitated for a moment, but chose to walk over. When he walked to Lilith, Lilith also took "steps" and walked side by side with Zhou Chu.
"What is the ruins here?" Zhou Chu followed Lilith along the stone road on the ruins and asked his questions.
"Palace of Night." Lilith said, "is probably even older than the oldest White Palace in Great Britain and the Vatican Cathedral of the Roman Cathedral. At that time, Palace of Night was one of the three largest palaces in the world. Unfortunately, it is now full of ruins."
What is the connection between Night Palace? What is the connection between Lilith? Zhou Chu thought of Lilith's name, but did not ask, but followed Lilith, listening to her introducing the names and functions of each place in Night Palace.
From Lilith's description, Zhou Chu was able to restore the appearance of the palace at that time in his mind.
As Lilith said, the Palace of Night may have been one of the three major palaces in the world at that time. Although I don’t know how far the world civilization reached, just take reality as an example. A palace that almost occupies an entire valley, with just its area, can be called one of the largest palaces in the world.
What's more, although the Palace of Night is now in this valley with only some broken bricks and rubble, it is still possible to see the prosperity of the palace from the half-weathered and half-breaked stone walls and carvings. Just the carving of a stone pillar is extremely exquisite and cumbersome, not to mention the broken stone walls and stones buried between ancient trees and rocks that can be seen in structure.
Walking along the vaguely blurred road along the ruins, the two of them unknowingly returned. Looking at the banshees who were still ignoring the two of them, still singing the sad and ethereal songs towards the elf statue, Zhou Chu finally couldn't help asking.
