Chapter 1080: Beast Graveyard (1)
The identity of this young woman seemed to be unusual. Even though the man was panicked because of fear, he instantly woke up a lot in the face of the threat from the woman. He habitually shrank his neck, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes. He walked to the side like a defeated rooster and stayed quietly.¥f.¥f
"Thank you, you saved us just now." The young woman's mental spirit far exceeded that of others. After a while, her emotions had barely returned to normal. After teaching her companions a lesson, she thanked Yakov very sincerely and introduced herself: "My name is Vera. They are my classmates and guides. This is Anna, this is Jerkov..."
Yakov did not hold any good face to the woman and said coldly: "No need to thank me, it was my master who asked me to save you."
"Master?" Vera was stunned for a moment, surprised by Yakov's name. She found it difficult to believe that there would be someone in the Soviet Union now calling the word Master. Years of education made her a little disgusted with this name and frowned, but the good education made her hide the displeasure that had just appeared. At this time, she noticed the Victor and the other two lying on the ground and Xu Changqing sitting in the chair. Especially when she saw Xu Changqing, she was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but exclaim: "Chinese?"
At this time, the few people who had recovered their emotions, except for the two young people with dark spots and insanity, noticed Xu Changqing, a very eye-catching Chinese. They instinctively showed a hint of disdain and hostility, and felt even more suspicious of a Chinese appearing in the heart of the Soviet Union.
Based on the current situation in China and the Soviet Union, coupled with the current situation in China, it is understandable that these Soviets made such obvious reactions. However, their expressions made Yakov, who had already regarded Xu Changqing as a god-like existence. He frowned and said, "Pay attention to your tone and attitude. Although my master does not mind your rudeness, as a servant, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen. If I see any rude expression on your face, I will throw you out and let you chat with this monster outside."
"Master? He is your master?" Although Yakov had warned, after hearing Yakov's introduction to Xu Changqing, those people were still unable to hide their inner emotions, and a surprised expression appeared on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Yakov frowned and looked angry. He was about to teach these people a lesson, but Xu Changqing raised his hand to stop his movements. Then he looked at the people calmly. His eyes finally fell on the two guides and hunters, saying, "There are often people tidying up this hut. Are you?"
"Yes, sir." Although Xu Changqing's identity and race made these Soviets feel disdainful, perhaps it was Yakov's attitude just now, or perhaps it was the invisible temperament emitted by Xu Changqing himself, which made them respond involuntarily after hearing Xu Changqing's inquiry, and their attitude was also low.
Xu Changqing asked again: "You often hunt in this forest. Have you ever encountered such things before?"
"No, of course not!" The two hunters shook their heads repeatedly, and then seemed to be answering Xu Changqing's question. They also seemed to be explaining to their employer, saying: "If we knew there was this thing in advance, we would never have brought people here to hunt. And if we had encountered it before, we would have died at that time and would not have lived until now."
Xu Changqing pondered for a moment and ordered, "Tell me what happened to you in the forest to hunt," and then pointed at the Soviet woman who called Vera and said, "Tell me."
Several Russian men and women were stunned and did not react for a while.
"Don't worry. You are safe now, and the thing outside cannot come in." Xu Changqing signaled the few people to sit down, then took out a few bottles of wine, and asked Yakov to find a few cups in the room. He poured it into it, and said, "Drink some wine, suppress your shock, relax yourself, recall it carefully, remember every detail and make it clear."
Although the men and women have recovered a lot after the rest of the past period, the fear in their hearts still exists. For them, a glass of high-concentration vodka is definitely more effective than any stimulant. When Xu Changqing took out the bottles of high-end vodka specially supplied to the military's top leaders, their sight and attention fell on the bottles of wine and the cups filled with wine afterwards. He did not notice that Xu Changqing took out several bottles of wine directly from his small sleeve.
The few people couldn't wait to pick up a cup, find a place to sit down, and pour a large mouthful of vodka into their mouths. The two women seemed to have never drunk such a high concentration of vodka. After pouring it into their mouths, they frowned and swallowed it forcibly. They coughed violently a few times, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and their pale face became much rosy.
"My two classmates..." At this time, Vera, who was regaining her spirits under the stimulation of alcohol, realized that there were two classmates lying on the ground, and her body was covered with some creepy dark spots, and a feeling of worry began to spread in her heart.
"It doesn't matter, they won't die for a while." Xu Changqing looked at the two unconscious Soviets indifferently, responded casually, and then urged: "Tell me! I recall slowly and carefully, the night is still long anyway, and the thing outside obviously doesn't want to give up its offerings like this, and will it go away in a short time."
"You, do you know what that is outside?" Vera calmed down and returned to her normal wisdom. She heard a clue from Xu Changqing's words and said.
"Isn't it Belsteko? You said." Xu Changqing looked at the woman in front of him with interest and said, "Are you not a Soviet?"
Because of the overall political environment of the Soviet Union, everyone has a special temperament. This temperament makes people feel that every Soviet person is made from the same mold. However, this woman named Vera does not have this temperament, but instead has an ancient aristocratic atmosphere.
"Italian," Vera replied.
Xu Changqing looked at the special embroidery of the woman's broken hunting suit, thought of some things from the past in her mind, and said, "Are you from the Oliver family?"
Vera hesitated and said in a sceptical voice: "Do you know my family?"
The name Oliver is very common in Italy. Just like the name Andre in the Soviet Union, there are at least a dozen ancient families named Oliver, but no one who hears Xu Changqing mention the Oliver family will think that this Oliver family is among the dozen families.
Vera's classmates just knew that her identity was extraordinary, because the people who picked her up and dropped her off every day were government personnel, and there were several bodyguards around her all year round. This time they went out to hunt and avoided the protectors and secretly ran to Tungus. Now, when they heard the conversation between Xu Changqing and Vera, they all had a feeling that Vera's identity was more noble than they thought.
At this moment, Yakov, who had traveled in Europe, thought of something vaguely, looked at the embroidery representing family heraldic emblems on Vera's clothes in surprise, and asked, "The Oliver family of Pisa."
"If Pisa has a second Oliver family." Vera raised her head proudly.
Vera's arrogance did not make Yakov disgusted. Instead, he agreed with Vera's pride towards his family, and even Xu Changqing on the side agreed with it.
When Xu Changqing learned Western knowledge with missionary teachers, he also had contact with the history of Western aristocrats. However, most of the ancient Western aristocrats were only digested in his eyes, and only a few families could be remembered by him. The Oliver family was one of them. According to the information Xu Changqing knew, the Oliver family was extremely ancient, with Greek ancestors. The family was so ancient that it could be traced back to the Greek city-state period. It rose during the period of Alexander the Great, moved to Italy during the latter three giants, and then developed in Italy. The Oliver family was definitely not a prominent family in Italy, and most people in Italy did not know that there was such an ancient family. When it comes to the top families in Italy, the Oliver family was definitely among the top three.
Now, Xu Changqing will care about this family mainly because since ancient times, this family has claimed to be descendants of gods. Even when Western churches were prevalent and they were hunting heresy everywhere, they did not change their identity as descendants of gods.
"Ancient Gods Meeting." At this time, Yakov suddenly put his head close to Xu Changqing's ear and said in a low voice.
Xu Changqing quickly understood what Yakov meant. The surprise that Yakov just showed was not entirely because of the ancient Oliver family, but more because there were also some members of the Ancient Gods Society in the Oliver family. Judging from the appearance of Yakov, it may even be a member of the very high status.
A woman's intuition made Vera feel that what Yakov said now was related to her, but she did not ask because she had already felt from the conversation just now that Xu Changqing and Yakov were not ordinary people, after all, not everyone knew about the Oliver family in Pisa.
"Let's get back to the point!" Xu Changqing showed no signs of interest in Vera's family identity, but instead turned the topic back on track.
Vera pondered for a moment, perhaps considering whether to reveal the things she encountered, or perhaps to sort out her thoughts and memories. After a while, she slowly revealed the incredible things they had experienced before.
