I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 198
I have to say that the British have never been tired of ghost stories, and every Halloween is the time when Hyakki nocturnal in the British Isles. The British did not pay much attention to Halloween in the past, perhaps because of the Halloween carnival scene in the United States. Exciting, as the big cousin of the United States and the birthplace of Halloween, he naturally refuses to lag behind, so he puts more and more energy on Halloween. In fact, Halloween is the third largest retail event this year under the sluggish economy.

Hearing the whistle of the car, Arthur got up from the sofa and came to the floor-to-ceiling windows. He looked down. Eddie and Emilia, dressed in black Harry Potter witch robes, got off the Ferrari and walked towards him laughing. The BMW car that followed, opened the trunk and greeted the waiters and maids to take things.
With a smile, Arthur walked out of the study quickly, stepped down the oak stairs, walked through the magnificent living room, and came to the front entrance, smiling: "You are moving the Halloween counter back home!"
Looking at the rear seats and trunk of a BMW car full of all kinds of items needed for Halloween, including costumes, decorations, spider webs to decorate the room, strange masks, and various horror movie costumes. Have it all.
Hearing Arthur's teasing, Emilia smiled and took out a bag of toffee from the trunk, shook it in front of Arthur, making a noise.
"Trickortreat!" (Trick or treat if you don't give sugar)
Arthur was very cooperative, pretending to be a child's voice and said, causing everyone around to chuckle.
"This is the costume I bought for you, a vampire Count suit!" Eddie handed a handbag to Arthur, then took out a small box from his pocket, raised an eyebrow at Arthur and said, "And this, vampire fangs , See if you like it or not."
Arthur took the box, opened it, took out two white fangs from the inside, and then directly pressed on the teeth, took out the black and red cloak, put it on, and stretched the cloak very modestly.
"Hmm~haha~Earl, I'm back again! Elegant killing, hunger-um, the best seasoning! The more you refuse, the more you want to eat you. The scumbag, always perishes not a vampire, but a human Yourself!
Humph~~~Haha~~~ I’m not picky at all, have you heard my horror stories?I love sucking blood!
There is still greed in human hearts, and I cannot be eliminated.Humph!Going home, I love killing, real nobles, ah-the taste of longevity!"
With a sullen face, Arthur's sullen fangs and laughter, he spoke the lines of Count Dracula from the previous king in a low aria. With this interpretation, Eddie and Emilia could not help but shine. , The drama is full.
"Papa--"
"I really feel like a cold hair..." Emilia clapped her hands and applauded, and stroked her arms exaggeratedly.
"Haha, yes, I just found out that you also have a talent for acting." Eddie also clapped his hands and laughed lightly.
"Ha—I’m not a show, I’m really hungry, now it’s over two o’clock, just to wait for the two of you, I think we can have lunch!" Arthur rolled his eyes and said the same to the side. Paul, the butler who applauded his performance, laughed.
"Okay, Lord, I'll get someone to prepare right away." Butler Paul said with a smile.
"Come here, help us get it..." Eddie put a cardboard box full of masks into Arthur's hands.
"Why did you buy so many masks?"
"Aren't you going to have a big party? It will definitely be available then." Eddie said, and he picked up a cardboard box and walked into the castle together.
Arthur shook his head noncommittal. They still don't know how big this so-called big party has been organized by the butler Paul...
Since Arthur regarded lunch as a formal meal, the Bolling’s lunch has become very rich, and today’s table is filled with pumpkin pie and toffee apples, which are one of the main elements of Halloween. .
Arthur especially likes to eat this toffee apple. The preparation method is quite similar to the candied haws often eaten in previous lives. Put the apple on a bamboo stick, and then rotate the apple in the toffee syrup. Some of them will be covered with fruit. Ren, very delicious.
"What are you going to do this afternoon?" At the dining table, Arthur put down the bamboo stick in his hand and looked at Emilia and Eddie and asked.
"Make a few pumpkin lanterns first, and then go to the farm and make a few scarecrows in the woods and grass slopes, so that at night, it will be more terrifying." Eddie raised an eyebrow.
The corners of Arthur's mouth twitched, well, my cheap sister is very fascinated by these ghosts and weird, otherwise she won't participate in the makeup activities of "Resident Evil" in London.
And when it comes to the origin of pumpkin lanterns, there is a little more funny element.The prototype of this pumpkin lantern was actually a hollowed radish. Later it became popular because the pumpkin was easy to carve.
Speaking of this custom, a drunk man named Jack is inseparable. According to legend, he tricked the devil into a tree with a cross until the devil promised to cast a spell so that he would never sin.After his death, his soul can neither go to heaven nor hell, but can only rely on a candle placed in a carrot to guide it around the world.Over time, it became the pumpkin lantern of today.
"Then I wish you all a good time." As he said, Arthur took the napkin and wiped his mouth, smiled and stood up and said: "I have eaten, you can enjoy it slowly."
Seeing Arthur’s back, Eddie’s beautiful eyes were shining brightly, and he whispered to Emilia: “Actually, he is very courageous and refuses to watch all horror movies. When I was young, I proposed to go to the basement to explore at night. He never Dare, I hate Halloween..."
Hearing Eddie's revelation, Emilia blinked her eyes, and said in disbelief: "No, he is afraid of ghosts?"
"Or, at night we..." Eddie's eyes flashed brightly of danger and expectation, and he whispered.
"That's not good... I'm worried that he is really angry." Emilia also looked forward to it in her heart, but she was afraid that it would really annoy Arthur.
"It's okay, he won't be angry." Eddie smirked, as if leaping towards YU.
"..." Emilia bit the pumpkin pie, her eyes shone as she chose to be silent, but the raised corners of her mouth still betrayed her expectations.
Arthur, who went back to the study to continue writing novels, didn’t know that the two women downstairs wanted to prank him. Unfortunately, what would disappoint Eddie is that Arthur is not afraid of any ghosts, much less. What horror movie to watch.
Therefore, when night fell, Arthur, who was reading the book leisurely with his coffee, heard the knock on the door and stood up and opened the door.
"puff--"
"Ahhh-"
In the dark corridor, a woman with a disheveled hair, wearing a sage horror mask and wearing a white cloak screamed, because the opposite Arthur not only sprayed the coffee in her mouth onto her face, but even the coffee in the coffee cup in her hand. They all spilled on her.
"Oh-it scared me to death, it really scared me!"
With a lingering fear, Arthur patted his heart to calm himself down, watching Eddie screaming, staring at his own Eddie with pitch-black pupils, the coffee dripping from his hair.That look embarrassed.
"Puff--hahaha..."
Arthur couldn't help it, and laughed.
"Asshole!"
Eddie lifted his foot, kicked Arthur, and turned around in anger, while Emilia, who was hiding on the other side of the corridor, covered her mouth and smiled uncomfortably.
