City’s Best Divine Doctor
Chapter 2296 - 2256: Returning to the Windsor Castle BasementLouise and Ma Wenwen had only heard about Windsor Castle of the British Queen, but they truly hadn’t heard of the Windsor Castle of vampires.
"Went inside."
"How was it?" Louise hurriedly asked.
"Completely different from what I imagined."
This vampire organization, in Ye Qiu’s view, might not exceed a thousand people in total, and they are scattered across Europe and other places.
Less than a thousand people, if completely dispersed, are very hard to find.
However, in the basement of Windsor Castle, Ye Qiu felt there were at least a couple of hundred vampires there.
Furthermore, these vampires should be the main members.
As for Emma and the rest, they are likely vampires dispersed throughout other parts of Europe.
"So did you meet them?"
"Met their Queen."
Queen?
Louise was very surprised.
Obviously, according to the hierarchy of these vampires, below there are Duke, Earl, Marquis, Viscount, Baron, but whether this Adeline is the supreme leader among them, Ye Qiu hasn’t determined yet.
Moreover, not all vampires like Emma enjoy sucking fresh human blood.
"Can they have children?"
Ma Wenwen asked.
She was really too surprised.
"No."
But not being able to have children doesn’t mean they can’t do other things.
"Then how are they reproduced?"
This is what surprised Ma Wenwen the most.
No descendants, yet so many vampires exist; that’s the scariest part.
"Most should have emerged during the Middle Ages plague, the Black Death."
Many have knowledge about the Middle Ages plague; like Louise, who’s studied medicine, is even more familiar.
The Black Death is the plague; it still exists in modern society, let alone that backward society in ancient times.
"So how do you plan to handle this?" Louise asked again.
In fact, these vampires have nothing to do with Ye Qiu, so naturally he wouldn’t kill them for no reason, unlike when encountering those undead in his home country.
The undead are controlled or retain memories from when they were alive.
However, these vampires are also a form of life, appearing very similar to humans; the biggest difference is probably having immortality and living by sucking blood.
But wanting to become immortal like them is probably very difficult.
The probability is one in ten thousand.
Out of ten thousand people, maybe only one will turn into a vampire after being bitten; the rest either turn into mummies or die painfully from corpse poison.
Now that Ye Qiu knows about the existence of this group, he feels he can do some business with them.
After all, they’ve survived for thousands of years, and who knows how much wealth they’ve accumulated?
So, when Ye Qiu arrived there, just to drink a beer, he needed a gold coin.
He really didn’t know how big one gold coin there is.
But he knows that in ancient Rome, they used gold coins.
Ye Qiu returned just to tell the two women that he plans to visit again tonight.
"I’ll go check it out again tonight."
"And us?"
"You better not go; it’s very messy down there, much like those bars. You can imagine how chaotic bars can be."
Ma Wenwen and Louise glanced at each other, seemingly having guessed.
These vampires can’t reproduce, but in some ways, they are just like humans; how can it not be chaotic in such a setting?
They didn’t follow Ye Qiu and stayed at the hotel instead.
With a clear understanding of the vampire situation here, Ye Qiu was ready to return home.
He knew that the New Year was approaching, so he couldn’t stay here for long.
It’s still so cold outside; he’s not going out now.
The three stayed at the hotel.
Until past seven in the evening, Ye Qiu hadn’t eaten here. He borrowed a small car from the hotel and drove over.
Arriving again at that Windsor Castle.
This evening, the exterior of Windsor Castle was illuminated, but looked eerie and terrifying, with no one else living for several kilometers around.
Ye Qiu parked there, waited for a while, and a big door opened. He drove in directly.
Getting out of the car, Ye Qiu saw the old man.
It was the old man he saw when he came out from underground in the afternoon.
The old man was puzzled, wondering why this human came again.
"Are you really human?"
"And are you human?"
Ye Qiu asked, looking at the old man.
The old man hoped he could become one of those vampires too, but the probability was too low. He feared being bitten and not gaining immortality, instead dying quickly.
He is the master of this castle, and actually, his ancestors have been since then, taking in those vampires.
These vampires have been dwelling below for years.
His ancestors were normal people, experiencing natural births, aging, sickness, and death.
However, after his generation, there would be no next generation, as he had no descendants.
So, by then, either this place would be sold to others or become ownerless.
Of course, they’d continue to harbor those vampires.
"I am an old man, with not many years left," the old man said.
"Birth, aging, sickness, death—it’s the natural law of life."
Ye Qiu re-entered through the basement entrance and found the basement even livelier when he got inside.
Down there, people were drinking, playing cards, dancing, singing—everything.
Ye Qiu’s presence immediately attracted the attention of many young men and women.
These young men and women wondered why this young Chinese was here.
However, Ye Qiu ignored them and went to the bar to order a large glass of Scottish beer.
The bartender thought Ye Qiu had no money, but was surprised when Ye Qiu took out a gold coin.
The coin bore the image of the British Queen, which he exchanged from the hotel.
The bartender looked at Ye Qiu strangely.
As Ye Qiu sat down with the beer, he noticed the mixed strange odors in the air, and realized that the ventilation down here wasn’t very good.
While Ye Qiu was drinking there alone, a provocatively dressed young Caucasian woman came over, licked her lips, and looked at Ye Qiu, asking, "Handsome, wanna dance?"
"Handsome? Haha, if you’re not afraid of Adeline, go right ahead and drag me away."
Adeline?
Upon hearing that, the young Caucasian woman’s face changed, and she hurried off.
No one dared to approach Ye Qiu anymore.
Ye Qiu sat there for about half an hour. During this time, other staff came to ask if he needed any services, and Ye Qiu confirmed these staff members were actually vampires, likely lower-ranked ones.
