American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

So when a new face appears in a small town, it is quite eye-catching.

Especially considering this person's attire, which suggested wealth and status, and his exceptionally handsome appearance, it would be strange if the patrol officers couldn't tell he was from out of town.

"Officer, I'm just a tourist. Is it necessary to check my ID?" The man asked with a slight smile when confronted by the patrol officer.

"Tourists? Heh, the entire Shiwango area is now closed off. No one is allowed to enter without an invitation. You're telling me you're a tourist? Heh, come with me to the police station!" Upon hearing that the other person said he was a tourist, the patrol officer laughed. This was practically a gift delivered to his doorstep.

He immediately took out handcuffs and was about to cuff the other person.

"Officer, look, I have an invitation!" Despite being handcuffed, the man calmly produced an invitation and handed it to the police officer.

“Your Highness Vlad Dracula, I’m sorry, I didn’t know. Welcome to Schwango, have a good time!” The patrolman looked at the invitation and said in a daze.

It turns out that this uninvited guest was none other than the famous vampire duke, Dracula.

It was actually him who had been spying on Josie in Trieste earlier—the vampire duke, traveling hundreds of kilometers, was faster than a jet plane, which was simply unbelievable.

More importantly, the sun was blazing hot at that moment!

Moreover, if someone were to look at this from a third-person perspective, they would realize that what Dracula handed to the patrolman was not an invitation at all, but merely a withered leaf.

Deceiving a human is incredibly easy for the progenitor of vampires.

Chapter 182 The Vampire's Night Visit

After dismissing the patrolman, Dracula, with a smile on his face, prepared to find a place to have a drink.

I must say, Josie Kahn really knows how to pick a location. Neuschwanstein Castle and the surrounding mountain town are indeed beautiful, much more so than his cursed castle.

It's just a pity that he had been asleep for a hundred years and missed the completion of this castle; otherwise, he would have definitely taken it for himself.

But now...

Dracula looked at the suddenly changed environment around him and scratched his head in distress.

"Long time no see, Your Majesty!" Dracula sighed, then turned around and greeted the bald woman dressed as an ascetic who appeared behind him with a smile.

At this moment, the scenery around him began to change, and the whole world began to flip like a mirror.

This is Mirror Space, one of the exclusive abilities of the Kamar-Taj sorcerer.

In this world, there is only one Kamar-Taj sorceress who could make Dracula, a progenitor-level being, unknowingly fall into the mirror space, and that is the Ancient One.

"Have you forgotten our agreement, Your Highness Vlad?" Ancient One asked Dracula leisurely.

“Of course not, Your Majesty. I have always kept our agreement. For this, I even punished that boy Nosferatu, making him sleep for a hundred years, didn’t I?” Dracula replied with a smile.

“But I don’t think that’s a reason for you to be here, Your Highness Vlad!” Gu Dao

"Reason? Your Excellency, I don't understand what reason I need to be here... Have I hurt anyone?" Faced with the Ancient One's question, Dracula shrugged and pretended to be puzzled.

In the 16th century, a great war took place between vampires and humans.

Although vampires possess abilities beyond those of ordinary humans, there are also many guardians among humans, and Kamar-Taj is one of them.

Therefore, the result of the war was that both sides suffered heavy losses and the war ended in a draw.

To avoid unnecessary sacrifices, Dracula and the Ancient One, who had recently become the Sorcerer Supreme, eventually signed an extremely complex coexistence agreement.

Although it contains a lot of information, it clearly does not include a clause restricting Dracula's freedom.

“There’s no need for these verbal tricks, Your Highness Vlad. We both know why you’re here!” But the Ancient One wasn’t buying Dracula’s words. If Dracula remained obstinate, she wouldn’t mind tearing up the agreement and forcing him to sign a new one.

Five hundred years ago, she had not been the Sorcerer Supreme for very long and her strength was limited, so she was still somewhat wary of Dracula, a progenitor-level vampire.

But five hundred years later... hehe.

"Alright, Your Excellency, you don't need to be so nervous. I'm just here to get to know this Josie Kahn, attend the wedding, and give a gift. Speaking of which, he's friends with my offspring in America, remember? Although that guy probably won't acknowledge me!" Dracula was also greatly annoyed by the Ancient One's tough stance and could only try to gloss over the situation again.

The offspring he was referring to was, of course, Hugh Jones.

However, as he said, although Hugh Jones's bloodline comes from him, without the use of force, Hugh Jones, who became a high-ranking vampire through forbidden means and gradually gained control of the entire American vampire force, would probably not recognize Dracula as his progenitor.

The so-called forbidden method is to devour higher-ranking vampires as a lower-ranking vampire in order to gain greater power. From devouring Allen Nosferatu a few years ago to regain his sanity, to later gathering vampire forces in the Americas with the help of Josie, Hugh Jones has devoured countless vampires who were unwilling to submit to him.

As a result, even though Hugh Jones has only been a vampire for a few years, his strength is already almost on par with Nosferatu, a veteran vampire who has lived for nearly two hundred years.

Hugh Jones's behavior, if committed by a traditional European vampire tribe, would be punishable by sunburn.

Fortunately, Dracula himself didn't really care about Hugh Jones's behavior, because he had actually become the true progenitor of vampires on Earth in the same way.

Moreover, due to certain special reasons, no matter how much Hugh Jones devours other high-ranking vampires, he can never threaten Dracula.

Even though the vampire descendants in Europe had many complaints about the situation in America, Dracula simply turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

If you're so capable, you bastards can go to America and clean up your own mess.

Why? It's because Dracula doesn't want to see the woman in front of him.

The United States is one of the strongholds of Kamar-Taj. Some low-level vampires go there to make a living, and a big shot like the Ancient One probably wouldn't care too much.

But if Dracula went there, he would be confronted by the other side in no time—just like the current situation.

Unless absolutely necessary, Dracula would never want to deal with the Ancient One.

There was nothing he could do; he simply couldn't beat this woman. He didn't know what she had been eating for the past few hundred years, but not only did she not age or die, she also seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

The contract that he once signed casually simply because he didn't want his offspring to suffer too much loss has now become his shield. Who can he complain to about this?

That's why he waited until Josie came to Europe before approaching her, instead of going directly to the United States—which would have been a piece of cake for him to go there.

What Dracula didn't expect was that even in Europe, as soon as he expressed his intention to get closer to Josie, the Ancient One immediately came knocking on his door.

It seems that there are secrets about Josie Kahn that he doesn't know, otherwise the Ancient One wouldn't be so nervous.

Dracula thought to himself.

"Oh? Is that so? So Your Highness is here to witness the ceremony. In that case, I suppose you wouldn't mind having another companion? I'd also like to witness this wedding of the century, why don't we go together?" However, upon hearing Dracula's words, the Ancient One made a suggestion that surprised Dracula immensely.

"...Um, is that really necessary?" Dracula suddenly felt a bit sweaty on his forehead—but vampires shouldn't sweat.

“It seems His Highness Vlad has other ideas. No matter, then farewell. But if His Highness changes his mind, he can call me at any time. I will stay in this town for the time being and wait for the wedding!” Gu Yi suddenly smiled and said after staring at Dracula for a while.

Before Dracula could react, the surrounding environment changed instantly, and he was back in the real world.

The surrounding environment was still as beautiful as ever, but Dracula's mood was far from pleasant.

Although she didn't actually do anything, the meaning behind the Ancient One's final words was very clear—don't try anything funny, I'll be watching you.

So angry...

In the end, Dracula could only sigh, turn into a wisp of black mist, and disappear from the spot.

Of course, he didn't leave. He came here because he had something important to discuss with Josie. If all went well, it wouldn't be long before he wouldn't have to put up with the Ancient One's wrath anymore.

At this moment, Josie was unaware that such a distinguished guest was coming. He had already arrived at the castle and was showing Margot, Carter, and Marwell around the castle’s interior.

Margot, in particular, as the future mistress of the castle, was entering the castle for the first time. She had only seen various photos before, so she naturally wanted to learn more about it.

However, the real guide for visiting the castle was not Josie.

It wasn't that he didn't want to be the guide, but the origins of the various halls in the castle, as well as the sheer number of historical artifacts, were so vast that even Josie, the owner, didn't know much about them.

Okay, actually, I don't understand it at all.

Although he was a transmigrator, with the help of a cheat code, he had built a huge business empire in the nearly five years since he came to this world.

In my past life, I was just an ordinary person. Although I wanted to indulge in some refined pursuits, all I could do in the end was exclaim "WTF!"

So the real guide was Jia Ying, the head butler who flew to the castle early to prepare for the wedding.

As the future head steward of the family, Jia Ying was exposed to Western culture much later than Qiao Xi, and before that, she could not even be considered cultured.

However, as an extraordinary being with super vitality, her learning ability and intensity are far beyond what ordinary people can achieve.

She may not be a master art appraiser yet, but she already knows every single brick in the castle by heart.

Therefore, every corner of the castle is now described in great detail.

However, the castle was too big. Although we were on a cruise ship and the flight was only half an hour, the whole trip wasn't too tiring, but it was still a bit late.

So after having dinner arranged by Jia Ying, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Of course, Carter and Marwell, being two energetic people, didn't need any special attention from Jia Ying; they could simply wander around the castle on their own.

Josie didn't rush to rest. Instead, she went to the study to have a routine conversation with several of her trading partners.

Just as he closed the study door, he felt a gentle breeze in the room.

When he turned around, a young man dressed in a magnificent 17th-century style formal suit was sitting on the guest chair in the study.

……

Silence is the Cambridge of tonight…

What the hell are you, Yun Zhonghe?

Did you pick the wrong flower?

Hmm, but thinking about Margot upstairs putting the kids to sleep, Josie thought to herself, "You should call me."

"Ah~ An unexpected visitor, may I ask your name?" Josie asked, trying to sound calm.

He didn't call for help because there was no need.

He was certain that the study was empty when he first entered.
