Chapter 571 [Forbidden Land]

More than half an hour later, Chen Xiaolian was holding Xiuxiu's hand on the street, and Xiuxiu had already put on an exaggerated hat on her head and a cloak used by vampires in the movie. The little girl's mood seems to be quite excited www.biquge.info she walks with the wind, jumping in two steps, three steps and one jump.

It seems that at this time, she has only regained a little bit of the innocence of a ten-year-old girl.

In a souvenir shop, Xiuxiu casually points to the shelf, and then the boss picks off a scary toy, which is a pair of vampire braces, and when put on, two sharp long teeth are exposed.

After Chen Xiaolian took it, he sighed.

Such a small thing actually costs ten euros -- this thing is in China, in the Yiwu small commodity wholesale market, two yuan a casual take.

Sure enough, Chen Xiaolian looked at the box, and it was printed on a certain corner: made-in-China.

But since Xiuxiu likes it, Chen Xiaolian doesn't care.

A moment later, Xiuxiu bought another bag of strange candies, and when she was late to her mouth, even her tongue and teeth immediately turned red like blood.

...... Meanwhile, on the other side of town.

A young Asian in a gray sweatshirt with his hands in his trouser pockets is walking up a ramp where a group of tourists are standing next to a stone monument in the shape of a cross to take pictures.

The young man looked around for a moment before picking up his phone.

"Boss, I've seen the surrounding terrain, I've done a mapping survey, and I'll send you a 3D terrain map in a moment. ”

"Good. A voice came from the phone: "You go around the castle first and find out the terrain of the castle." ”

"Hmm. The young man said slowly: "There is still more than a day before the time comes." ”

"Be careful, don't expose yourself, there must be other people going at this time, don't expose your peers, I don't want to have a fight outside before I start. ”

"Understood. The young man hung up the phone and put it away.

The whole time they talked, they spoke Chinese.

The young man turned and walked up the ramp towards the huge castle on the hillside.

On the back of his sweatshirt, there is a tiger head pattern on the clothes.

......

In a vampire restaurant in town.

"Teacher!!" the girl's sharp voice carried a little dissatisfaction: "Are you still wasting time?"

"Oh, there's still a day to go, so let me have a good taste of the food here. An old man sat at the dining table, took out his phone, took a picture of the local Romanian food in front of him, and sent it to Twitter.

"I think we should hurry up and get ready, you can't take this kind of thing for a long time, teacher!" the girl sat across from the old man, her fork clenched in her hand.

"Be still, be still. The old man smiled lazily: "When you live to my age, you will understand that enjoying the process, rather than pursuing the result, is the mystery of life." ”

The girl had a straight face, and she could see that she didn't buy the teacher's teachings at all, but just used patience to suppress her temper, so she didn't make a move to flip the table.

......

Brown Castle.

Chen Xiaolian led Xiuxiu to follow the crowd up the ramp and came to the gate of this castle.

Brown Castle is the town's largest and most famous attraction.

According to legend, as the prototype of the vampire, the famous historical figure of ancient Romania in history, Vlad III, was the owner of this castle.

Of course...... This is.

Chen Xiaolian knew it.

He is a writer who has read many miscellaneous books, and because of his writing, he has read a lot about vampire legends.

He was well aware that in real history, this Brown Castle was not built by Vlad III.

The castle was built in 1377, before Vlad III's father was born.

Originally, this castle was built as a military castle to resist the invasion of the Turks.

Originally, the castle was not even owned by the Romanians, but in 1406, the Hungarian king gave the castle to the then Grand Duke of Romania.

Vlad III, the prototype of the famous vampire, was one of the Grand Dukes of the Duchy of Romania.

But to be precise, the archduke of the vampire prototype actually lived in Brown Castle for a while.

But not for long.

Moreover, the archetypal character of this vampire, Vlad III, hung up at the age of only 31.

Killed on the battlefield.

Historically, he had never ingested human blood – let alone human blood, nor had he ever drunk animal blood.

This Vlad III is a very bullish figure. First of all, he has a fiery personality and is a warmonger. Second, he was very brutal to his enemies and extremely cruel in his methods.

His nickname is "Piercing".

Because he invented a very cruel torture specifically to kill the enemy: with a wooden stake, cut the keys, and then poke it from the person's **, and then out of the mouth!

It's like wearing meat skewers, skewering people on stakes and nailing them to both sides of the road!

Legend has it that when he was fighting against the Turks, he once lost a battle and had to retreat back to the castle, but he took thousands of prisoners, all of whom were tortured and tortured, and then sent people to erect the wooden stakes with the corpses on both sides of the road where the Turkish army marched!

As a result, the Turkish army pursued all the way, and saw thousands of wooden stakes strung with corpses along the way, such a cruel and cruel method made the soldiers of the Turkish army kneel directly, their morale collapsed, and they did not dare to continue the pursuit at all, and collapsed and fled.

This is the most famous record of the Duke Vlad III.

At the same time, he also used this cruel method on all enemies, both externally and internally, and he used this cruel punishment to all those who dared to oppose him.

Because his methods were extremely cruel, the more terrible they became, the more evil they became, and in the end, in the legend, somehow, he was shaped into a monster who ate human flesh and drank human blood.

This Brown Castle was the stronghold where he lived for a while, and as a result, it became a famous attraction in the birthplace of vampires.

......

When Chen Xiaolian walked into the gate of Brown Castle with Xiuxiu, he passed by a young Asian man in a sweatshirt, and the two sides passed by, but neither noticed each other.

Chen Xiaolian took Xiuxiu's hand and entered this famous castle.

Of course, the castle is not small, but it is not as big as expected, and the four corner towers plus the main building are once used as a military stronghold for military purposes, and the appearance looks very strong and rugged.

Walking in the castle, it is also quite eerie.

This eerie feeling seems to invisibly contribute to the atmosphere of "vampire legends".

In fact, Chen Xiaolian thinks this is nonsense - after all, it is a centuries-old building, where it has been exposed to the wind and rain, and has been baptized by war many times in history. The castle is a tattered antique.

A house is built and thrown here for decades will have an old and eerie feeling.

What's more, how many hundred years has it been placed?

The explanations and various signs inside seem to be very happy to induce this military castle to deliberately induce the legend of vampires.

Chen Xiaolian also thinks it is not surprising that the local government relies on tourism for its food, and how can it make money if it does not do this.

During this visit, Chen Xiaolian took Xiuxiu to watch the flowers, and did not pay attention to the tourists next to him, but just took Xiuxiu around the castle quickly.

The main thing is to look at the terrain.

Nothing special was found.

......

When it gets dark, the streets are getting less crowded.

Unlike in the West, there is very little nightlife at night, and even in this kind of tourist attraction, there are not many people on the streets at night.

Chen Xiaolian took Xiuxiu back to the hotel, came directly to the third floor, and knocked on the door of Phoenix.

The phoenix seems to have just woken up and is barefoot in her pajamas when she opens the door.

The girl had apparently just taken a shower, and her pretty face was flushed, steamed, and her hair was half-dry. Walking barefoot in the room, inside the loose pajamas, you don't have to think that it must be a vacuum.

Chen Xiaolian seemed to be a little cramped, but the phoenix himself didn't seem to be embarrassed, and after letting Chen Xiaolian and Xiuxiu enter the door, he shrank directly on the bed, grabbed the quilt and hugged it in his arms, and said sleepily: "It's over? ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed to Xiuxiu, who was still wearing various commemorative costumes.

Chen Xiaolian sat on the sofa in the room and muttered: "After walking around the town, I didn't find anything, it seems that I have to wait until tomorrow when the time comes." ”

After a pause, Chen Xiaolian asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Nope. Phoenix frowned: "Call room service, I'm too lazy to go out." ”

As she spoke, she yawned again.

Chen Xiaolian nodded, called the hotel to deliver food, and then the room suddenly became eerily quiet.

Chen Xiaolian felt more and more cramped, as if he didn't know what to talk to Phoenix, the two were relatively speechless, as if they couldn't find any topic.

In fact, it's very simple, the two have also experienced two copies together, and if you want to talk about the past, you are not afraid of not saying it.

But the problem is that the two dungeon encounters involved Phoenix's team members - and now Phoenix's team is obviously wiped out, leaving her as a bare-pole commander.

If you talk about the things in the old copy, it will inevitably mention her old department, which will make people sad, so Chen Xiaolian is embarrassed to mention it.

Finally, the phoenix broke the silence first.

"Chen Xiaolian, let me make an agreement with you. ”

"Huh? uh...... You said. Chen Xiaolian's expression was very solemn.

Phoenix sat on the bed, hugged the quilt, and said lightly: "You came to me, let me accompany you to such a place, although I have doubts in my heart, I also followed you." I'll do you a favor, and you'll do me a favor -- after it's over. ”

"What do I do for you, you say. ”

"I'm going to kill someone. Phoenix said lightly: "You have to help me." ”

"Kill someone?" Chen Xiaolian hesitated: "Who?"

"I can't tell you now, you just have to remember that you have a favor with me before, and in the future I will seek revenge on that person, and I will kill him, you ...... You have to help me. ”

"Is it the Awakened?" asked Chen Xiaolian.

"Hmm. ”

"It's not my team, is it?" Chen Xiaolian pretended to smile easily.

"It's not. ”

Chen Xiaolian hesitated: "Okay, you can tell me when the time comes." ”

Phoenix sat up straight and stared at Chen Xiaolian: "Remember your promise today!"

......

The next morning, at ten o'clock, an SUV drove into the town.

The car stopped next to a vampire-themed hotel on the side of the road, the door opened, and a bald-headed man jumped out of the driver's seat, stretched, and patted the window: "It's here, get out of the car." ”

Nicole didn't say anything when she got out of the car, but looked up at the hotel in front of her, and the street full of souvenir shops, and frowned, "What are you looking for here?"

Tianlie grinned: "Guess. ”

After Tom Huggins and Jenny got out of the car, Tom Huggins' face was very ugly.

He clenched his fists, looked at Tianlie coldly, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "You...... How do you know?"

Tianlie raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said deliberately, "Oh?"

"How do you know here!" Tom Huggins whispered, "You...... You're here for that guy, aren't you! How did you know he was here?"

Tianlie smiled, he looked at Tom Hudgens seriously: "I'm curious, how do you know? It stands to reason that with your level in the Thorn Flower team, it is impossible to know this secret! This secret, in the entire Thorn Flower team, only me and Chen, two people know." ”

Tom Huggins took a deep breath, and his face changed wildly: "Really, really that person? You really came to find that mysterious person!!"

He suddenly took two steps back, pulled his wife Jenny hard, and said quickly, "No! we want to get out of here!"

Tianlie squinted: "Knight Ivan, what do you know?"

Jenny also looked at her husband suspiciously: "Tom, what's wrong?"

"It's dangerous here!" Tom Huggins gritted his teeth, "This is forbidden land!"

"Forbidden place?" Even Nicole was curious, "What forbidden place?" she looked at the guy strangely.

Nicole is also a veteran awakener, but she's never heard anything special about Brown - isn't it a tourist destination with a vampire legend.

"What does the forbidden land mean, forbidden?" Nicole asked.

Tianlie didn't speak, but squinted his eyes and smiled at Tom Hudgens: "You can explain." I'm also curious, how did you know this secret. ”

Being stared at by Nicole's sharp eyes, Tom Hudgens sighed: "The forbidden place means that this place is forbidden for certain people to approach, and once some people dare to come here, they will be ...... Disappear. ”

"Someone?" Nicole thought for a moment, "Is it the Awakened? means that the Awakened are not allowed here? Could it be that some legendary old guy in the circle of the Awakened lives here?

"No, not the Awakened. Tianlie finally spoke: "The forbidden land is not for the awakened. ”

"Who is forbidden to approach......" Nicole's face suddenly changed, "You mean?"

"Yes. Tianlie nodded: "Not many people know this secret in the world of the Awoken, but in the player world, all high-level players know this legend." This place is forbidden place...... Forbidden, any player approached!"
