Chapter 129 The Temptation of Immortality
Beep, beep...
The long honking of the car woke Eric up from his sleep. He looked around in astonishment. The soft leather seat cover, the small enclosed space, Lin Jue who was resting with his eyes closed beside him, the serious driver and an old man in a velvet coat.
"Where am I?"
He looked to the side, his memory still stayed on the way of the two people's escape. He seemed to have consumed too much energy because of resisting the bullets from behind, and he fainted. When he woke up again, he appeared in this strange car.
"Haha, Jewish boy, you sleep so well?"
The old man in front of him changed his expression, and his tone had some special meaning.
Eric's heart suddenly tugged. Being a Jew on the territory of Germany was not a good thing. He looked at the driver beside him with vigilance, staring at his special scarlet pupils. Eric subconsciously looked at Lin Jue who slowly opened his eyes.
"Mr. Lin Jue, we are about to leave German territory."
The old man did not dare to look directly into Lin Jue's eyes, and his tone was mixed with respect.
"Ha, say hello to Colonel Schmidt. This time, thanks to him. As for what he wants, I will send someone to give it to him."
"Okay, sir."
Soon, as the car bumped, they came to a checkpoint with dozens of German soldiers. Eric, who saw the scene outside through the gap in the curtains, couldn't help but stand up from his seat, but was pulled by Lin Jue.
"Boy, don't move rashly. Although I can take you out, it will be a lot of trouble. I hate trouble!"
Eric struggled for a moment, and he was horrified to find that the palm of the man next to him was like an iron clamp, making it impossible for him to break free.
"Check!"
The window next to the driver opened, and a German soldier with a serious look quickly looked inside the car. However, before he could observe carefully, the old man took out a special book from his arms and handed it over.
"Sir, this is my special pass!"
The old man smiled and looked directly at the soldier who frowned and looked a little unfriendly.
You're trying to get a relationship with me?
The soldier narrowed his eyes and looked at the book casually. The next moment, his pupils shrank sharply. He saw a series of guarantee handprints on the book. Above the handprints were many names he had heard of or some he had not heard of, and a variety of seals covering the whole step. He compared them carefully and found that they seemed to be true!
Putting aside other names, the names he was more familiar with were all senior generals stationed here by the German army. The highest position even reached the rank of major general.
The impatience and arrogance on the soldier's face faded instantly. His face was a little pale, and he handed the book to the old man with a smile on his face and narrowed his eyes with trembling hands.
He bowed hard to the old man in front of him and handed the book over with both hands. His heart was beating wildly. He tried to recall whether he had said anything inappropriate just now. Looking at the rolled-up car window, several companions beside him walked forward to scold him in a strange way, but he was stopped by him in a panic.
"Let him go!"
At this time, the soldiers at the checkpoint didn't understand that the person sitting in the old car in front of them was someone their captain dared not offend. The group of soldiers hurriedly pushed the wooden fence blocking the checkpoint aside and raised the sky with one arm under the leadership of the captain.
The black jeep swayed and drove out of the last checkpoint of the current moral army, in the admiring eyes of the soldiers.
The old man put away his documents and looked calmly at a deserted road in the distance. The corner of his eye quietly looked at Lin Jue, who had closed his eyes again through the rearview mirror.
He hoped that the person sitting behind him saw his contribution, but Lin Jue didn't seem to care.
The car fell into silence, only Eric, who was a little impatient, struggled, making the cushion make a sound of fabric rubbing.
As the old man could no longer see the group of soldiers from the rear window of the car, Lin Jue took his hand away from Eric's shoulder.
"Who are you? Why did you save me?"
Eric's eyes were mixed with doubt and vigilance. He looked at the extremely young man beside him, Lin Jue, who was not much older than him.
"Me? Haha, maybe you can call me the Grand Duke of Eternal Night. It will probably not be long before I get this title!"
Lin Jue opened his eyes and looked at the old man with a smile.
That's right, Lin Jue, who has been in this world for three months, has come into contact with a real top figure, and even obtained the extremely precious and rare Grand Duke title of that country under some kind of interest link.
At first, he went to Auschwitz, but found that he went too early. After that, he went all the way through the battlefields of Europe and came to Great Britain. On this way, he met officials and wealthy people at all levels, of course, he did not go through normal means.
Now there is a secret of immortality circulating in the upper class of Europe, and he is the owner who holds the key to immortality!
Under the lure of eternal life, many senior generals of the German Empire became his loyal customers, and thus, they arrived in Great Britain safely.
Some people in the German Empire had certain relationships with some upper-class figures of the British Empire. Under their introduction, Lin Jue naturally came into contact with some nobles.
With immortality leading the way, no one could resist such temptation, let alone those who had no concept of wealth.
The key to immortality was the pills made from Lin Jue's blood. He did not release too many blood descendants. Except for the group of soldiers who were transformed into vampires and lost their minds under the control of his ancestor's will, most people would maintain their mutual interests with the special "pills" he specially made.
As the vehicle stopped, Eric quietly looked at the scene he had never seen before. On the blue and endless ocean, tall ships were parked on the seashore, and old fishing boats were piled up randomly on one side. The tall German warships whistled, and one aircraft carrier after another sailed into the distance.
Apparently, they arrived at a coastal place.
"Sir, everything is arranged!"
A man standing on a high place and looking around at the passers-by quickly ran down the freighter and came to Lin Jue and others, saying respectfully.
Nodding, Lin Jue took out a capsule that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and handed it to the man. The man looked solemn, took out a brocade box from his arms, and carefully put the capsule in it.
He handed another capsule to the old man, who immediately showed an excited look and thanked him profusely.
Eric looked at the picture with some strangeness. He couldn't understand what it was now. He guessed that Lin Jue seemed to rely on this thing to allow their group of Jews to successfully come here.
Under the respectful greeting of a group of soldiers, Lin Jue took Eric and declined the old man, and quickly boarded the freighter heading to Great Britain.
Lin Jue came to the deck of the ship and saw the captain of the freighter. The man ran to him respectfully and looked around quickly. No one noticed this side, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sir, in the next voyage, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, please stay in the cabin for the time being. We may have to avoid higher-level aircraft carrier inspections!"
It is of course impossible to go to Britain with artillery fire. Lin Jue plans to take Eric to settle in Britain!
That's right, this is a luxury passenger ship that has secret dealings with Great Britain. It can be said that there are many German tycoons who want to go to Britain secretly, and some former French officials. It can be said that it is a mixed bag.
This ship is named after a German general. It is for the purpose of foreign trade and reconnaissance of the enemy. In fact, it has become a smuggling ship under the influence of a group of wealthy officials who want to rebel against the German Empire.
Soon, Lin Jue and Eric were arranged to a secret and luxurious cruise cabin.
