In a huge "Colosseum" -
Liu Yin trembled and handed the small piece of paper to Mai Qi, and this calm woman, who had always been calm, was slightly alarmed when she saw the English letters on the small piece of paper......
Tang Sen saw that the two of them looked so strange, so he curiously approached Mai Qi's side, wanting to see what it was that could have such magic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mai Qi didn't shy away from it, nor did she hide it, she directly handed the small piece of paper to Tang Sen.
He took the piece of paper, which was just a few letters of English, and he said curiously, "Vlad-tepes-dracula, huh!?" Isn't it just an English name? Could it be that some special person makes you so frightened? Wait a minute, the name sounds familiar......"
"Dracula is Dracula, transliterated from Chinese! Haven't you heard of Count Dracula!? Liuyin said a little excited and a little scared.
"So it's him? Isn't he a character in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula the Vampire? You all believe the novel, it's so naïve, haha......" Townsend laughed heartily, he thought how could there be vampires in this world.
Liu Yin glared at Tang Sen, this laughter of his would be very disgusting!
Seeing Liuyin's angry expression, Tang Sen immediately stopped laughing, and said seriously: "Okay, in fact, I know the prototype of this character, in European history, there is indeed a person named Dracula, his name is Vlad."
"Looks like you still have a little common sense." Liuyin looked at Tang Sen and said.
"Of course, that guy named Vlad has a reputation for being cruel. Prisoners of war were often inserted from their buttocks into a long wooden stick that passed through their entire body and out of their mouths, and then the sticks were raised high to torture the prisoners to death! As he spoke, Tang Sen felt a little uncomfortable for Chrysanthemum......
His full name is pronounced Vlad-Tepes-Dracula in Romanian, which is the name on the paper! And Dracula is just one of his nicknames. Liuyin said worriedly, she stared at the piece of paper in Tang Sen's hand, thinking that the ghost man must have something to do with this!
Dracula originally meant "son of the dragon", and later the Romanians associated the word with demons, which was influenced by the language of the Saxons in southern Germany who were in Romania at the time, and these Saxons went to Romania to escape famine, behaved in disorder, and were punished by Dracula with very severe punishments, so they were privately called so. Mai Qi told Dracula the origin of his name in detail.
"I know he's a real person, but the name of a vampire is also taken by outsiders, and it's not really a vampire. Then the name doesn't really mean much. "Townsend is a man who is a very firm believer in science, and he will only believe what science can explain through it.
"Do you know the battle in which Vlad participated in 1462?" Liuyin asked, believing that the question should stump a science man like Town.
"Piece of cake, it was a truly terrifying battle for the Turks, in which Vlad was betrayed by his allies and fled to the capital, and when the Turkish army pursued the city, they were surprised to see more than 20,000 soldiers captured at the beginning of the battle, stripped naked and displayed in public, and interspersed alive on a kilometer-long wooden stake around the city, with sticks pierced from the mouth or hip everywhere." Speaking of this, Townsend paused, feeling that the taste was very strong and not suitable for children.
"Go on." Mai Qi said appreciatively, because an excellent scientist who studies science should also have knowledge reserves of history, otherwise he will lose his reference, and the science imagined out of thin air can only be a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
Townsend swallowed his saliva, and continued: "At that time, crows and vultures were constantly pecking at these dead corpses, which filled the surroundings with a strong rancid smell. ”
"Anything else?" Liuyin doesn't believe that a science man can understand so many things!
"And, of course! To the Turkish envoy, who was unwilling to take off his hat in the presence of Duke Vlad, he ordered: since he does not want to take off his hat, let him never take it off. So the messenger was driven into the top of his head with an iron nail. When Townsend said this, his scalp couldn't help but feel a tingle, thinking that Vlad's methods were really cruel......
"That's right! Stories like these—the mighty Turkish army was held back, the Christian nations were saved from invasion by other nations, and Dracula's name of madness spread throughout Europe. Liuyin felt both admiration and horror for Vlad's cruelty.
"If it's just a descendant of Vlad, then it may not be directly related to vampires." Townsend once again emphasized the "fact" that there will be no vampires in the world.
"Oh?" Liu Yin sneered at Tang Sen playfully, as if he was laughing at the feeling of a schoolboy......
Tang Sen was very dissatisfied with such a contemptuous expression, and he pouted and said in disbelief, "Can you have any evidence to prove that he is a vampire, and the descendants are still related to this!?" ”
"Do you know the Mayans? Do you believe in the formulas of their calendar calculations? Liuyin asked aggressively.
"Of course I believe it, the pyramid is there." Townsend casually pointed in one direction, after all, he didn't even know where he was now.
"Do you believe the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, as well as your own theory of the movement of Ghost Island, and the Penrose Staircase as a passage!?" Liu Yin asked Tang Sen with an innocent expression.
"Definitely believe it! These are real, right!? It's just that I don't have a chance to verify it, and I don't want to form an expedition team to ......" As soon as Tang Sen heard the ghost island that he couldn't let go of in his heart, he became excited!
Liuyin made a "stop" gesture, and Townsend shut up......
"If I told you that we have research reports on the blood of Dracula's descendants, and studies on their bodies, do you think you'd believe them?" Liuyin's expression and eyes didn't look like a joke at all.
Tang Sen was stunned for a moment, he turned his head to look at Mai Qi, it stands to reason that Mai Qi should not follow Liuyin's topic nonsense, that is to say, as long as she agrees, then this matter must be true.
And Mai Qi, who is mature and charming, she really nodded, confirming that what Liuyin said was true!
"You...... What do you mean...... Are there really vampires in this world!? When Townsend said this, he was ecstatic, but also frightened and worried.
When each unsolved mystery is revealed, it can sometimes be like Pandora's box, and at the same time bring great disaster...... (To be continued.) )
