Chapter 239: Imperial Visitors

That is one of the current Twelve Knights of the Round Table, the family property of Laide Knight.

Lilaike gestured with his eyes to the driver to go to the watch shop, then explained:

"You know that in the late nineteenth century, our state church underwent a thorough purge from start to finish, right?"

Yu Lin nodded:

"I know."

He is the person involved, so of course he knows.

Only hearing Lilaike continue to say:

"The ancestor of Laide Knight was this Firo de Leon, and the emissary sent by my Lord to settle the church's affairs at that time..... you know what I mean, I won't say more."

"They were good friends, and the later Grand Archbishop invited Feiluo to join the church........."

He slowly recounted the subsequent events, and additionally pointed out:

"Since that emissary also came from the East like you, Feiluo later went to Xia Guo to travel, trying to trace that emissary's whereabouts, but it came to nothing."

"Even during the later World War II."

"Feiluo's son, the grandfather of Laide Knight, personally came to Xia Guo, established a church sanctuary, and converted the Exorcism Office into a watch shop and so on, to earn money to aid refugees."

Lilaike did not hide it, but directly spoke of this matter to gain Yu Lin's favor.

Finally, he gave a slight smile.

"I will personally give you some watches as a souvenir, and please be sure to accept them."

Yu Lin nodded: "Hmm, I know."

"Let's go."

The vehicle stopped in front of the watch shop, and Yu Lin and Lilaike got out.

Behind them were Bai Xiaoxia and others who also got out.

They also seemed to have heard from the accompanying people about this watch shop and Yu Lin's earlier story, each face showing curiosity, and they entered the shop together with Yu Lin.

Most of the shop's decoration still retained the old layout, wooden floor, dark shelves, the air filled with the smell of machine oil and old wood.

Only some furniture that was truly too old and unusable was carefully repaired, preserving its original appearance while extending its life.

The marks of time are everywhere, yet they have been carefully tended.

And the most eye-catching among them is an oil painting hung on the central wall of the shop.

The picture shows three people sitting side by side.

On the left is Feiluo, on the right Van Helsing.

However, the person in the exact center of the picture appears exceptionally special.

His figure is tall and straight, his clothing details clearly discernible.

Yet his face is shrouded in a hazy light and shadow, as if behind a layer of frosted glass; no matter from which angle the observer carefully examines, they cannot make out his specific features.

That feeling is not due to the painter's lack of skill or the painting's aging and deterioration; rather, it is as if... the painter, no matter how they brush, cannot be satisfied, as if some invisible force prevents them from clearly fixing that face on the canvas.

In the end, only such a regrettable yet extraordinarily lifelike treatment could be left.

Just as everyone was immersed in the strange atmosphere brought by this peculiar oil painting,

Bai Xiaoxia stared at the hazy figure in the painting, the more she looked, the more familiar it felt.

He couldn't help but poke Yu Lin's arm, lowered his voice, and spoke with a hint of uncertainty and surprise:

"Yu bro... I don't know why, but the person in the middle of the painting...... the more I look, the more they seem like you."

Yu Lin: "........."

He shrugged: "Maybe because I am also a Saint."

"There's some similarity."

"Alright, let's not talk about this; take whatever you like, Lilaike will cover the whole bill."

"That's also true." After he brushed it off like that, Bai Xiaoxia didn't ask further.

After all, with so many people, it's reasonable to have similar appearances.

When Bai Xiaoxia previously went out to play, she also met someone who looked like Qin Zhao, and went up to give her a big hug.

Finally, the person's boyfriend slapped her away, and seeing the real Qin Zhao making a call not far away, she realized she had mistaken the person.

He was finally slapped away by someone's boyfriend, then seeing the real Qin Zhao making a phone call not far away, only then did he realize he had mistaken the person.

That's his older brother, the older brother who treats him best—could the older brother deceive him?!

So at this moment he readily believed Yu Lin, and under the nature of lies, the further they went on this road, the less chance they had to discover the truth.

So at this moment he very easily believed Yu Lin, and under the nature of lies, on this road he went further and further, completely losing the chance to discover the truth.

The group left Feiluo Watch Shop.

Until they arrived at the accommodation arranged by Lilaide for Yu Lin and them.

He smiled at Yu Lin and the others: "Today it's not early, you all have been traveling all day, so I won't disturb your rest."

"At noon tomorrow, I will come again to pick you up and go to the Cultivation Academy."

"Wishing you a pleasant night and sweet dreams."

Having said that, he took his leave and departed.

Not choosing to stay and disturb Yu Lin's night life, it's better to keep some distance in social interactions.

After settling their luggage.

Yu Lin and Bai Xiaoxia and them walked on the streets of London.

Listening to Qin Zhao, who was holding a phone and browsing something, say:

"There's a shop ahead; I heard the reviews are good, at least they won't make a dish like stargazing."

"There's a shop ahead; I heard the reviews are decent, at least they won't serve a dish like looking up at the Starry Sky."

"Going or not?"

"Okay."

"Yu Lin had no objections; anyway, no matter how bad it tastes, could it be worse than eating raw meat and drinking blood like primitive tribes?"

"Here, just eating steak and baked bread would be fine."

"Having made up his mind, he walked toward the shop ahead."

"But before they could step out, a sedan stopped in front of them, blocking their way."

"As the car door opened."

"First to come into view was a pair of legs wearing exquisite high heels, graceful and slender, slowly stepping onto the sidewalk paved with ancient stone bricks."

"Immediately after, a young woman gracefully stepped out."

"She had an extremely recognizable face, blending classical delicacy with modern sharpness; her light blond hair was neatly tucked behind her head, and her blue eyes were like perfectly cut gemstones, carrying an aloof and scrutinizing air in her gaze."

"Dressed in an impeccably tailored custom suit, she exuded a rich British aristocratic aura and an unspoken arrogance."

"Her gaze, like a precise scanner, swept over the group in an instant, carrying a hint of evaluation."

"Immediately, she parted her lips slightly, her voice clear yet carrying a habitual, condescending tone:"

"\"Nice to meet you, I'm Victoria Windsor. \""

"\"I've heard that Xia Guo sent some people over for exchange, and they're supposedly top-notch geniuses............ \""

"\"She stepped around Yu Lin, pointing with her fingertips at Bai Xiaoxia and the others behind him, the corner of her mouth curling into a slight smile: \""

"\"Well, looking at it now........ \""

"\"You're just average. \""

"\"Bai Xiaoxia pouted and muttered: \""

"\"If you've got the guts, say it to my face; what's the point of going around? \""
