Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Lifting His Coffin

  There is a strait between Great Britain and Belgium called the Strait of Dover.

  The strait is 40 kilometers wide and 55 meters deep. It is one of the main sea transportation routes of Great Britain and is also known as one of the busiest sea routes in the world.

  Unfortunately, strict waterway and navigation systems have been implemented since 1977.

  Fortunately, it was 1911, and the ship "Sea Goddess" had a smooth journey through the strait. After 5 hours, it finally docked at a port in Belgium.

  As it was daytime and the morning when the sun was the brightest, Su Qing and Selena, no, it should be said that they were vampires, had to continue hiding on the ship for the sake of their own lives.

  Fortunately, after the two climbed onto the ship in the early morning, they did not just hang out together, but at least they figured out the ship's sailing itinerary.

  Fortunately, today's 'Sea Goddess' will only return to Great Britain after filling up its cargo hold in Belgium.

  Due to the times, loading is done manually, so the speed is very slow and it is estimated that it will take at least ten hours to fill up.

  In other words, the ship would not set sail until at least nine o'clock in the evening, which was just convenient for the two of them to move around.

  In a remote room on the ship, Su Qing carefully closed the curtains to ensure that no sunlight could get in, then turned around and sat back in his chair.

  "By the way, who is the ruling elder of this century?"

  Selina, who was wiping her dog-leg knife with an oilcloth, said without even looking up, "It's Elder Amelia."

  "原来是她."苏青想了想,回忆电影对比一下时间,发现这個时间点,还真是这位三大长老中唯一的女性吸血鬼执政.

  In the 2003 Dark Night plot, there was a scene where Amelia, one of the three elders, arrived in Budapest by train.

  This time she actually came to wake up the sleeping Marcus, hand over the power to him and then go back to sleep.

  Speaking of Amelia, she can be regarded as the most useless vampire elder in history. She had the title of elder and had lived for thousands of years, but she was knocked down and drained of blood by a werewolf within five minutes of her appearance. Her death was very hasty.

  And Marcus is a picture of misery.

  Although he is the ancestor of vampires, he is suppressed by the vampire Victor he transformed into. He dares not speak loudly and only dares to be arrogant after Victor falls asleep. His behavior is like a coward opening the door for a coward. He is extremely cowardly.

  But, that's just on the surface.

  How could Marcus, as the ancestor of vampires, be so simple? He can be said to be the most powerful person in the blood clan.

  Of course, individual combat capability is the strongest.

  The reason why he surrendered to Victor's pants can be traced back to the 13th century.

  In 1202 AD, Marcus, Victor and Amelia, the three elders, joined forces to attack in a forest and captured William, the ancestor of the werewolves, with crossbows and chains.

  At that time, Victor wanted to kill William and put an end to it.

  But how could Marcus, who was concerned about his brother, agree to this? He started arguing with Victor on the spot.

  But by then, after years of development, Victor had a strong army and powerful forces, and he no longer took Marcus, the ancestor, seriously.

  After Marcus realized that his words were useless, he had no choice but to make up a lie, saying that after he and William were killed, the vampires and werewolves would be wiped out because of their deaths.

  Then, he decisively knelt down on one knee and surrendered to Victor's pants, thus saving William's life.

  What happened next was that Victor asked craftsmen to build a prison to imprison William, the ancestor of the werewolf, a prison that only Victor himself knew about.

  Of course, Serena must be added.

  The reason why Victor didn't kill Selina was not only because she looked like his daughter, but also because Selina was a living map.

  Serena had played in a prison as a child and subconsciously knew where it was.

  In order to prevent the location of the prison from being lost due to changes in the mountains and rivers, Victor kept Selena by his side. At the critical moment, he could just bite Selena and know the location of the prison through her blood, which was convenient and quick.

  "Is there any problem?" Selena asked curiously when she saw Su Qing's expression changing, sometimes raising his eyebrows and sometimes frowning.

  "Nothing, I just thought of something." Su Qing waved his hand and changed the subject, asking, "Where does Amelia usually stay?"

  Selina thought for a moment and introduced: "The blood clan is divided into the Western Council and the Eastern Council. The Western Council is in Budapest, and the Eastern Council is in Northern Europe. Elder Amelia is personally responsible to the Eastern Council."

  "So, she still needs to sit in the Eastern Council. She won't stay in one place for a long time. Every ten years, she will change her seat. Now, she happens to be in the Big House (Western Council) for the past ten years."

  Su Qing shook her head and said, "With her here, we have to be careful."

  "I haven't seen her take action, but there's news within the Blood Clan that she's the weakest of the three elders. If she finds us, perhaps we can subdue her."

  Selena frowned and told all the information she knew, and also put forward a seemingly feasible suggestion.

  But as soon as this suggestion was uttered, Su Qing shook his head and rejected it.

  Although Amelia's performance was mediocre and her death was very hasty, she was an elder who had lived for nearly a thousand years and had sucked more blood than the two of them had walked. How could it be that simple?

  Su Qing would not be so arrogant as to think that he and Selena could subdue Amelia alone.

  "Then what do you say we should do?" Selena asked helplessly.

  Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let's go see Tyris first. This guy is a historian who has followed Victor for hundreds of years and knows a lot of secrets. Maybe we can learn some information from him that will help us deal with Victor."

  Serena nodded. This guy was indeed a rare elder among the vampires and knew many secrets. But thinking of his character, she frowned and said, "This guy is very cunning. I'm afraid he won't cooperate honestly."

  Su Qing clenched his fist, making a clicking sound, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if he doesn't behave, just beat him up. If he still doesn't behave, beat him again until he surrenders."

  Selina rolled her eyes but didn't say anything. After all, he was a vampire and he wouldn't die if he was beaten up.

  Then she seemed to remember something and said, "The corpse-dissolving water was made by Tharis."

  "That's a coincidence." Su Qing nodded in surprise. He had to admit that despite his poor shooting skills, Tyreese was a very creative person.

  He stroked his chin and said, "We can ask him for some corpse-dissolving water to make it easier to deal with the body and traces later."

  Su Qing stood up and stretched.

  Selina suddenly became a little depressed, "Do you think we can succeed?"

  Su Qing turned around, looked into Serena's eyes, and said with confidence:

  "Of course we can. The old guy is sleeping like a mummy now. He will hardly wake up without blood. When the time comes, we can open his coffin and pull him out directly..."
