Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 2: Duke Poison

Fifteenth century, Renaissance Rome.

When I set foot on this land belonging to Cesare, Duke of Valentine, I couldn't help being overwhelmed by her prosperity.

It was also the Middle Ages, and Rome, which was at the center of European culture, was obviously not at the same level as Hungary, where the blood-sucking countess was. The surrounding buildings are full of gorgeous and extravagant Renaissance style, with Greek columns and Roman vaults, exquisite marble sculptures standing symmetrically on both sides of the building, beautiful reliefs of the Virgin and Angels adorning the columns and walls, both sides of the street The flowers are in full bloom and the greenery is abundant.

But at this time, I am not in the mood to appreciate all this in front of me. All I want to know is where the bird is.

For the current plan, I can only summon the nearby spirits first, and let them help me find the whereabouts of the birds.

I looked around, there are too many people here, I plan to find a remote place to summon spirits. Just two steps away, I suddenly heard an extremely familiar voice behind me: "Xiao Yin!"

I trembled all over, this voice, can't it just be such a coincidence? I turned my head slowly, and there was a four-wheeled ebony carriage parked behind me. I opened my eyes wide and looked at the person getting out of the carriage in disbelief. Although this man is wearing Purpoan, a men's clothing unique to this period, that face is what I want to see most now.

"Fly, bird!" I cried out in surprise, and rushed over to plunge into his arms.

"Scared me to death, Asuka. Master and I thought something happened to you, and it scared me to death. It turns out that you are fine, great, great!" I said incoherently, feeling a long sigh of relief Take a breath.

Asuka gently stroked my hair and said, "Fool, what happened to me."

I looked up at him, his smile was still the same, I wonder if I was sensitive, his eyes seemed much deeper than before.

"Why don't you go back? Have you completed your mission?" I asked hastily.

He let me go, nodded, and said: "It's done, but I still have some things to do. Now I'm going to Duke Valentine's palace, so you can come with me."

"What!" I was taken aback, and then I saw the pattern on the carriage. On the gorgeous gold and scarlet background, there was a bull ready to fight. The crest of the famous Poulkins family.

My heart sank suddenly.

I grabbed his hand and said hurriedly: "Asuka, are you confused? Master has repeatedly told you not to have anything to do with people from the Polkin family. Why did you just get involved with this Duke Valentine?" Something to do with it? It's not that we don't know his character, you can't afford to mess with this kind of person, you go back with me right away!"

Suddenly something flashed in his eyes, and an inexplicable strange feeling suddenly surged in my heart. Asuka seemed a little different from usual.

"Xiaoyin, I know the delay has been a bit long this time, and it has worried you and Master, but I will go back with you right away. Duke Valentine has helped me a lot this time. I will at least sue him. Individually."

"It's better to have less contact with him, his family is famous for its poison."

He smiled and patted my head, "Don't worry, when have you ever seen me fall into someone else's trick? Besides, he is not as bad as the legend says, everyone has helpless times, don't you want to see Do you want to see this legendary character?"

As soon as he said it, my curiosity was also a little bit ready to move. What kind of poison man is this cruel and ruthless man with unparalleled talent in the eyes of historians? And most importantly, this man is from Asuka's previous life.

When he was hesitating, he laughed again, and said: "I really didn't expect that Master would worry about me, but let you come here, even if something happens to me, it seems that you are useless , haha."

"You!" I glared at him, thinking too little of people, "How come, Master even gave me the yin and yang mirror, how could you not be able to beat others, I thought you were killed by that witch Du Lian Defeated."

Surprise flashed across his face: "Do you know Du Lian?"

I nodded and said: "Master has said that Du Lian's witchcraft is very powerful, but how could we Asuka fall for the trick of a little witch, right?" I smiled and glanced at him glance.

"Of course, hehe." He smiled, and for some reason, I saw that look in his eyes that I couldn't see clearly, which seemed to have a hint of sarcasm.

"Get in the carriage, what are you still doing?" He said as he pulled me into the carriage.

"Are you really going back with me right away?"

"Idiot, when did I lie to you?"

"You seem to lie to me often."

"Hehe."

"Asuka, you look handsome in this dress," I tugged at his sleeves to play, "It's so fun, it's like a prince's costume in a fairy tale."

"Xiaoyin?"

"Huh?"

"Did Master really give you the yin and yang mirror?"

"Yes, this power is even more powerful than your Soul Crossing Lotus."

"Is——?" He responded without speaking.

Unknowingly, the carriage slowly drove into the palace of Duke Valentine. After getting off the carriage, Asuka pulled me directly into the palace. The gilded roof beams in the palace are shining, the fine tapestries are gorgeous and luxurious, the marble floor is smooth and shiny, and there is actually a pool in the spacious hall, with clear water gurgling from the mouth of the bottle held by the white goddess. Below, the sunlight coming in from the tall colonnades and the Roman dome reflects on the water waves, shining a little bit of golden light.

When passing by the pool, there was a splash, and something fell from Asuka's body into the pool.

"Asuka, your things have fallen." I hurriedly called him to stop.

He stood there without moving, "Just drop it."

"How can I do that, you are so lazy, let me pick it up for you." I bent down, and there was a copper-colored ring lying in the clear pool water. There was a cold war.

It is a ring engraved with a nine-headed goddess, the pattern of the Polkin family, but, in my memory, Asuka never likes to wear these jewelry.

"Here you are." I handed it to him.

"Thank you." He reached out to take it and put it on his middle finger.

"Where's Cesare?" I asked.

Asuka smiled and said: "The Duke is probably busy, let's wait in the next room."

I followed Asuka into the room. For some reason, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.

Asuka doesn't seem to be disgusted with César at all, maybe it's because César is his past life. Well, it should make sense to explain it this way. But what exactly is Master worried about? Was it because he was afraid that César would be unfavorable to Asuka? But that doesn't seem to be the case.

"You are thirsty, drink a glass of grape juice." He suddenly said, I looked up, and a court lady came in with two crystal cups, which contained grape juice that glowed like red agate .

I suddenly felt nauseous.

"Drink it." He picked up his own cup and drank it, "It tastes very good."

The feeling of something wrong came up again in my heart, Asuka, did he forget? Ever since I came back from the Vampire Countess, I felt like throwing up when I saw the red drink, so after that time, they never bought red drinks home again.

But looking at Asuka's expression, it doesn't look like he is playing tricks on me.

"Asuka, this is a red drink." I said.

"Yes, of course grape juice is red, what's so strange, drink it." He said disapprovingly.

Something is wrong, something is really wrong.

I slowly raised the cup, and when I got it in front of my eyes, I stopped. On the surface of the crystal cup, the eyes of Asuka staring at me were clearly reflected, with a hint of eagerness in waiting. Yes, I think I'm not mistaken, it's the waiting eyes.

Wait for me to drink this glass of grape juice.

Suddenly, I was taken aback by my own thoughts, I was actually doubting Asuka, I was actually doubting Asuka who grew up with me, who loved me like a younger sister. I quickly shook my head, I was thinking about something, I misread it, I must have misread it.

However, it seems better not to drink this glass of grape juice.

"Drink it." He smiled slightly.

I thought about it, put down the cup, and said with a smile: "I don't want to drink anymore, I'm not thirsty at all."

He looked at me, put down the cup, stood up, walked to my side, put his hand on my shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "I really underestimated you, there is nothing I can do about it." Let you drink it."

I was stunned and looked up at him, a very strange smile appeared on his face.

"Asuka, what are you talking about?" I was a little puzzled, and felt an inexplicable fear in my heart because of that weird smile. He suddenly smiled brightly, and after laughing for a while, he suppressed his smile, stared into my eyes without saying a word, but his eyes, which were as clear as sea water, shone with a strange luster.

Asuka, he never looked at me with such strange eyes.

Everything that happened just now suddenly played back in my mind like a movie, why did I meet Asuka so coincidentally? Why is Asuka not surprised to see me at all, as if he has been waiting for me to appear? Why did he forget that I'm afraid of red drinks? Why would he wear such a ring? Why does he have such strange eyes?

I felt trembling all over, and the answer seemed to be coming out, I quickly grabbed his hand, pulled up the puffy puff sleeve, and immediately stayed there. A crystal bracelet, he doesn't have a crystal bracelet!

I immediately took a few steps back, the horror and shock made me unable to speak coherently, "You, you... no, it's not a bird! You, who are you?"

He looked at me firmly, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and a clear and gentle female voice came out of his mouth: "I didn't say that I was a bird."

This shocked me a lot, and I saw Asuka slowly shrinking in front of my eyes, getting shorter, and transformed into a girl who was only seven or eight years old in an unbelievable way.

I looked at the scene in front of me in disbelief, and squeezed out a few words from my mouth: "Transformation-shape-shu!"

The little girl has a cute appearance, innocent and innocent, but her eyes are so deep that she doesn't match her age. She suddenly clapped her hands with a smile: "It's amazing, my sister even knows this."

I gradually recovered, stepped forward and twisted her wrist, and said angrily: "Asuka, what did you do to him, if you dare to touch him, even if you are a little girl, I will not Let you go!"

She still looked at me with a smile on her face, and said, "How could I do anything to brother Feiniao? He treats me very well."

I was anxious and angry. Listening to her, I knew the whereabouts of Asuka. Who is this little girl with an angel-like face? She can use Transfiguration at such a young age! Asuka won't really have an accident.

I let her go, took out the talisman, and said viciously: "If you don't say it again, don't blame me for being rude."

She showed an innocent smile and said, "Sister, why are you so rude?"

"You!" I was trembling with anger from her, "I sealed you first!" I formed a seal with both hands and began to chant the mantra, and the mantra gradually emitted a green light, covering her whole, and the green light became stronger and stronger ,stronger. Halfway through the recitation, I suddenly felt a chill in my lower abdomen, and a sharp pain in my heart. A sharp pain ran through my whole body. In an instant, the green light disappeared, and the spell was turned into ashes. I couldn't move at all.

"Hehe, sister," she looked at me with a very funny look, "You have already been poisoned by me."

"Poison?" I looked at her in surprise, "Impossible, you poisoned that glass of wine, but I didn't even touch it."

"Well, I downloaded it there, but just in case, I downloaded it elsewhere." She looked at me with a smile. "Anywhere else?" I was taken aback.

She raised her hand, looked at her ring, and a strange smile flashed across her lips, "Thank you for picking up the ring for me." Picked up the ring? My scalp was numb, "Could it be pool water?"

"Wow, my sister is so smart, I guessed it right, but the poison in the pool water is still much worse, it took so long for me to be sealed by my sister, I'm so scared. But it's a pity, now my sister Sealed by my poison."

"You..."

"But sister, don't worry, this poison is just a spell that seals you, and you won't die for a while."

Won't you die in a while? The corners of my mouth began to twitch, what about the future?

She bent down, took out the yin and yang mirror from my arms, and said with a happy smile: "Great, there is another baby." Another one? My heart tightened, and I blurted out: "Crossing Spirit Lotus?"

She looked at me with a smile and said, "My sister also knows?"

As soon as I heard her answer, my heart sank again. If the Duling Lotus is also in her hands, then it means Asuka... how is it possible, Asuka is calmer and smarter than me, how could he? May be easily recruited?

However, in order to manipulate these two instruments, one must be able to read incantations.

"It's useless for you to hold it." I said coldly.

"So I have to trouble my sister to teach me."

I couldn't say anything, I just stared at her with the most vicious eyes. Who is this devilish little girl! Poisoning, she is good at poisoning, could it be that she is...

There was a sound of steady footsteps outside the door, and her voice once again interrupted my thinking, "Your Excellency, everything is settled, what do you plan to do with it?"

My lord duke...isn't my lord duke here just...

I took a deep breath, raised my head, and looked at the man who walked in.

Under the long black slightly curly hair is Zhang Junmei's cold face. The moment he saw me looking up, the look of surprise in his long and narrow light green eyes was fleeting. What kind of green is that, like the new green that blooms on the willow branches in early spring, and like the first melted snow water in the blue lake, such a transparent green has a cold and gloomy luster, floating a kind of The breath of death exudes a suffocating sense of oppression.

Césaire Polkin, the most feared ambitious, powerful and consummate plotter in all of Italy. In the European history of the 15th century, there is no second ruler who bears so many notorieties like him, but is sympathized and praised by his contemporaries without hesitation. Is this the man in front of me?
