Chapter 181 Dracula's Return
It was late December when the Margot departed from New York, so it was early 1948 when it arrived in Europe.
The story between Peggy Carter and Mywell is an episode in a relatively long journey.
In fact, during the nearly 20-day journey, these two energetic women fought no less than ten times. Fortunately, except for the first fight, which was a little more intense, the rest of the fight was more restrained. Broken too many things.
However, no one was bothered by the behavior of the two.
After all, the journey on the cruise ship may feel good at the beginning, but it will actually feel a little boring after a long time. The interaction between the two people adds some color to the journey.
In contrast, Josie, one of the protagonists of this journey, was basically missing except for showing her face on the day the two first fought.
Only when the cruise ship passed through Gibraltar, I met Franco, the dictator of Spain.
The reason for this, of course, was not because Josie was drained. He was bullied by Margot all night that day, and the next day he filled N more springs.
The real reason for his disappearance was actually just practicing the Five Elements Technique while hiding in the cabin.
In his last life, he was a native of Xia, and with the help of the official translation system, and drinking a lot of immortal spring water with a small amount of mana, Qiao Xi entered the door before arriving in Austria - mastered water and gold.
No way, on the giant wheel of the vast ocean, these two are the easiest to cultivate.
Of course, the so-called mastery is actually only barely able to control a small amount of water or an iron nail.
And the actual control is not as efficient as the direct hand.
There is still a long way to go if you want to be as easy as the Dragon Emperor.
But it's a good start.
beep! ! ! !
With a long whistle, the Margot slowly entered the port of Trieste.
The Port of Trieste was once the largest port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but after World War I, it was occupied by Italy, and the future in the original time and space also belongs to Italy.
During World War II, it was first occupied by the Allies and then divided between Italy and the Southern Commonwealth.
But in this world, due to the rise of Austria, it was occupied by the Allied US forces in Austria after returning to the Eagle's Nest operation.
Although Italy has complaints, as a "defeated country", it is not qualified to negotiate conditions with the US military.
Afterwards, after Austria supported the Yugoslav Empire and occupied the Slovenian region, it was right to jointly control this excellent harbor with the US military in the name of the Yugoslav Empire.
Then there was the war with the Southern Federation. After showing amazing strength, Italy did not dare to say anything more.
As a result, amid the cheers of the Austrian people, Trieste, once the first port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, officially returned to Austria after nearly 30 years of absence.
"Huh, I finally landed. Although it feels good to ride on the cruise ship and the facilities on it are very comfortable, but I have been away from the land for too long, I always feel that there is something wrong!" Peggy Carter, who was dressed in a dark blue dress, sighed after getting off the ship. .
Her appearance also attracted the attention of the people around her.
After all, such a tall and big woman is quite rare in Europe.
"It's really nothing, I'll take you to space for a few laps back and you'll know that compared to the endless cosmic ocean, your so-called Atlantic Ocean is actually no different from a small lake!" Dressed in a neutral suit Mywell put his hand on Carter's shoulder and said proudly.
As she said, the mere twenty-day ocean voyage really didn't feel much to her.
To know her longest voyage record, she flew alone in the universe for half a year.
"...Okay, I know how powerful you are, but please pay attention to the occasion." Facing Marvel's show, Carter rolled his eyes helplessly and said, but his heart was caused by a wave of waves... Interstellar Are you traveling? It's really tempting.
"Peggy, why don't you just go back to Hala with me. Although you are an earthling, Kerry is not an exclusive place. With your strength, Supreme Wisdom will definitely be willing to accept you!" Seeing Carter's face Seemingly moving, Maiwell rolled his eyes and whispered in her ear.
Whether it is Kerry, or most of the cosmic civilizations such as Shia and Nova, they are actually not a single race, but are composed of one or two core races, plus countless subsidiary races.
Even the powerful special existence of Asgard is divided into the Asa Protoss and the Vanir Protoss - the Queen Frigga is the Vanir Protoss.
In contrast, the empire of the Skrulls, which is completely composed of a single ethnic group, is an extremely rare existence.
Therefore, although Carter is a backward "indigenous of the earth", as a super soldier with a physique that is not weaker than the elite warriors of the Kerry, Maiwell believes that she has the opportunity to be recognized by the supreme wisdom and become a citizen of the Kerry Empire.
"Sorry, the earth is my hometown, I have no idea of leaving here, and there are still many crises on the earth, I have the responsibility to protect my hometown, not go to a strange civilization, a country I don't understand Fight." But in the face of Marvel's invitation, Carter chose to refuse without hesitation.
As an Englishman himself, he has been working for the United States since the war. In the eyes of many people, Carter is already an anomaly.
However, the United Kingdom and the United States have always been allies. The former Strategic Science Corps and the current CIA do not care about nationality issues, and her behavior is barely reasonable.
But abandon the earth that has been cultivating itself and run to become a warrior of an alien civilization to fight for the aliens?
Carter says he hasn't gotten to that level yet.
Seeing Carter's refusal so neatly, Mywell could only express regret.
"What are you two doing? Get in the car!" Just as the two were talking, Josie, who was ready to get in the car in the distance, shouted to the two of them. He didn't know that he had just been dug into the corner.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
First of all, with Carter's character, it is very difficult to be poached, and secondly, super soldiers are not a rarity for him now, one less is not much, and one more is not much.
"Okay, let's go, it's better not to talk about these topics casually outside, otherwise it will be more troublesome if someone who is interested will hear it!" Carter nodded at Josh, and then said to Miwell, and then did not wait for the other party. When he answered, he went straight into a car behind Josh and the others.
Josh and the others had a lot of people, so the Austrian side also prepared a team early.
They will arrive at the nearest airport first, and then fly directly to Schwangau, where Neuschwanstein Castle is located.
And Josh and his family got into a car, so Carter couldn't just humiliate himself and huddle with their family.
Mywell, who was told by Carter, shrugged and followed Carter into a car.
What no one noticed was that just after the convoy started, a dark shadow flashed past in the shadow of a tall tower overlooking most of the port area in the distance.
"Josie, what's wrong?" In the car, Margot asked strangely, looking at Josie's frowning expression.
"I don't know why, it seemed like I was being stared at just now!" Josie said.
"Really? Why don't you ask Vito them?" Hearing Josie's words, Margot couldn't help but say.
"I've already asked, Vito and the security staff have also checked, and they didn't feel anything unusual, and it seems that Carter and Mywell didn't feel anything unusual either. Maybe I'm overthinking!" Josh shook said shaking his head.
Josie is still very clear about her own level. Although, like Margot, she has already drank the Fountain of Eternal Life, but in addition to prolonging life, the improvement of physique and senses is extremely limited. Get the super soldier potion.
So if even he can feel being followed, there is no reason why Vito and Carter can't feel it.
What Qiao Xi didn't know was that the five-element spells he practiced were only alchemy spells, not immortal cultivation techniques, but after practice, they would actually strengthen his perception of the outside world.
At this time, he may still not be strong enough for Vito, Carter and other super soldiers to fight with one hand.
But if it's just intuition, he is actually stronger than Vito and the others.
So his intuition was actually correct.
Someone was indeed watching him just now.
It's just that the distance of the other party is very far away, even far beyond the sight of ordinary human beings, so Josie can't find the other party at all except for a vague sense of peeping.
And all the way until boarding the plane, Josie never felt that feeling again, so he completely regarded this feeling as an illusion.
Trieste is only more than 500 kilometers away from Schwangau, which is half an hour for Josh and the others on the plane.
The plane that Josh is on now is not a DC-3 or a C-69.
Those are all planes produced by other airlines. Now, as the controller of Boeing Group, Josie takes another plane. Wouldn't that make him laugh out loud?
And as the second-generation fighters such as Mirage 3 and Mi-21 were taken out by Josie in advance and became popularized, aircraft technology all over the world has also been improved by leaps and bounds.
While many airlines continue to develop more advanced jet engines, they are also trying to apply jet technology to the civil aerospace industry.
And Boeing, with the big boss of Josie, is undoubtedly at the forefront of the world in this regard.
As early as a few months ago, the prototype of Boeing's first jetliner, the Boeing 707, had been successfully tested.
What Josie and the others are riding now is a specially modified Boeing 707 whose official model is named Boeing VC137.
This plane is very famous no matter in Josie's original time and space or in the Red Alert world.
And the reason for its great fame is also related to Melody, who has such a personal grudge with Josie.
Because it is Melody, the shape of this aircraft has become synonymous with the US presidential plane "Air Force One".
Since Melody, "Air Force One" has actually changed a lot of models, but its appearance and painting are all imitated VC137 without exception.
But in this world, this plane was brought out by Josie ahead of time.
And not only did Josie have one for himself, but he also gave Truman one—not directly, of course, which is called a bribe.
But donate to the White House in Boeing's name, then there's no problem.
"We're here, look, that's Neuschwanstein Castle!" As the plane slowly landed, Josh pointed to a dreamy-looking castle standing on the mountain below.
"It's so beautiful, it's much more beautiful than the photo!" Looking in the direction Josie pointed, Margot's eyes flashed with a hint of ecstasy.
Not to mention Margot, even Carter and Mywell couldn't help but feel a little jealous of her at this time.
They are women after all.
"It's not very clear from this distance. There is a helicopter in the castle. When we take a helicopter to overlook it, it will be more beautiful!" Josie introduced Margot's shoulder with a smile.
Because Neuschwanstein Castle is hidden in the dense forest among the mountains, the only way to fully capture the beauty of the outside of Neuschwanstein Castle is to overlook it from the air.
And jet airliners are obviously not suitable for getting too close to the castle because of their speed.
But with a helicopter, it's totally fine.
In order to facilitate travel and to be able to better visit the nearby scenery, Josie built an apron in the castle.
At the same time, a figure in rather gorgeous clothes appeared on the street of Shiwangao Town, watching the landing of "Air Force One" from a distance.
"Hey! Stop, please show your ID!" The patrolman on the street quickly spotted the uninvited guest and immediately stepped forward and asked.
Although Josie has not been in Austria for the past two years, with the continuous development of Ouroboros, his control over Austria has also deepened.
In order to facilitate and maintain privacy, the entire area of tens of kilometers around the town of Schwangau has been designated as private territory by Josie.
However, the population in the town was not large in this era, and Josie also needed some people to serve him, and the people in the castle also needed a place to go in their spare time.
So the people in the town were not driven away.
It's just that the security of the entire town has already been taken over by Josie's people.
This patrolman is very familiar with the people in the town, and although Josie's wedding date is approaching, it is still more than a month away, and the guests will not come so early.
So when a new face appeared in the town, it was still very eye-catching.
In particular, this person's clothes are either rich or expensive, and his appearance is extremely good. If the patrolman can't see that he is from outside, it would be a strange thing.
"Mr. Police, I'm just a tourist, is it necessary to check the documents?" Facing the patrolman's block, the visitor asked with a slight smile.
"Tourist? Hehe, the whole Shiwangao has been closed now. You are not allowed to enter without an invitation letter. Tell me you are a tourist? Hehe, come with me to the police station!" It's a tourist, and the patrolman is happy. This is simply a credit for being delivered to the door.
Immediately take out the handcuffs and put them on the other side.
"Look, Mr. Police, I have an invitation letter!" Facing the handcuffs, this person took out an invitation letter without haste and handed it to the police.
"His Royal Highness Vlad Dracula, I'm sorry, I didn't know, welcome to Schwangau, I wish you a good day!" The patrolman looked at the invitation letter and said in a trance.
It turned out that this uninvited guest was none other than the famous vampire Archduke Dracula.
It was actually him who peeped at Josh in Trieste before—a distance of hundreds of kilometers, this Vampire Archduke is actually faster than a jet plane, which is incredible.
More importantly, the sun in the sky is burning at this time!
And if someone looks at it from the perspective of a third party at this time, they will find that what Dracula handed to the patrolman is not an invitation at all, just a withered leaf.
It's just to confuse a human being. For the first ancestor of vampires, it couldn't be easier.
