Chapter 256: Captivity
The vampire baron's movements were still very fast, and by mid-November, Li Han had gotten the address he had sent from. He was dumbfounded when he looked at the address, and it was common sense to speculate that vampires should live away from the crowd if they wanted to hide themselves, such as some unknown castles. Who would have thought that the famous Annick Castle would be inhabited by a group of vampires?
Located in the city of Alnwick in the north of England, Alnwick Castle is known as the "Windsor Castle of the North" and is the main residence of the Duke of Northumberland. Harry? The exterior and some of the scenes from the school in the first episode of Potter were filmed here, especially the exterior scene where the young wizards learn to take flying lessons, which made the castle instantly famous.
Because of this, Li Han didn't expect that there would be vampires living here. is also because of a coincidence, Li Han has never been to Annick Castle, otherwise, even if he doesn't see a vampire, at least he can feel that something is wrong.
From this point of view, the Duke of Northumberland, the owner of the castle, should also be suspicious, but Li Han has never seen this duke, so he doesn't know if he is a vampire or coerced by those vampires.
Anyway, Li Han has to go over and see, if the Duke of Northumberland's family is human and is coerced by vampires, then rescue the people, if they are also vampires, then it will be easy to kill them together.
There is no need to pick a day, anyway, he doesn't have anything important, he gets the address and drives straight to Annick. He didn't drive into Annick Castle directly like a Hollywood blockbuster, and he was usually slapped in the face when he played handsome. He's not going to do such a stupid thing.
He pretended to be a traveler and booked a room in a hotel in Annick, where Westerners have never been very recognizable to Orientals and did not have to worry about attracting attention. And he's not here to do bad things, if it's not for fear of alarming the vampires, there's no need to pretend to be a traveler.
After washing up in the hotel, Li Han went out and went straight to Annick Castle with a camera on his back. Alnwick Castle is open to the public and the ticket price is not expensive, only a few pounds per person.
The castle was originally used to resist the Scots and Normans in the north, and it has a history of more than 900 years now. The outer city wall is more than 9,000 meters long. The appearance is simple and noble. It's a very beautiful castle and majestic, so it's no wonder the Harry Potter crew chose to shoot Hogwarts locations.
When Li Han bought a ticket and went in, there happened to be a group of tour groups from Asia who walked into the castle under the guidance of the tour guide, and Li Han's eyes lit up. Immediately leaned over quietly. I'm about to take a quiet look at the terrain. What better place to hide than on a tour?
The tour guide is explaining the history of the castle to the visitors. Li Han listened for a while and came over anyway, what he wanted to know at this time was the topography of the ancient castle, and the tour guide obviously couldn't help much. Although there is a topographic map at the doorway. But it is very brief, and there is also a part of the place where the Duke of Northumberland's family lived, and it is not open.
And the hiding places of the vampires are obviously not open to tourists, otherwise, either tourists will send them to the door and be used as food, and then the vampire's storage zài will be made public; Either the tourists fled in time, and the vampire's deposit zài was made public. They will not allow that to happen.
After following the tourists through the first floor and visiting the living room, reception room and entertainment room, Li Han decided to slip away, it was too wasteful to follow the tour group. He had already estimated the size of the castle and the blank areas on the map, and sure enough, there were many places hidden. I don't know if I deliberately built a secret passage or secret room when building the castle, or if I used my hands and feet when drawing the map, after all, the castle is so big, it is still easy to hide a few rooms.
Walking upstairs and downstairs, he slipped over to check the closed areas, and he also used the invisibility charm to make contact with the Duke of Northumberland's family. He didn't feel the blood in these people, but from the eyes of his doctor, the family was in very poor health, and seemed to be in a state of fear and malnutrition for a long time.
Frightened Li Han can understand, if this family is not a vampire, it can only mean that they are held hostage by vampires, but there are still malnourished people in Britain now? Anyway, their income from guarding this castle is not low, so they won't be hungry, right?
And except for a few employees who collected tickets and were responsible for the cleaning and security of the open area of the castle, he didn't even find out that the Duke of Northumberland invited no one to even have a cook, and it really didn't look like a count's family. Do they even cook and clean themselves?
However, he didn't care if someone had been hired, and he found traces of vampires in the castle's west tower. The west tower is not open, there are three floors, Li Han is invisible, he did not enter directly through the door with the "Tourist Stop" sign, but slipped in directly through a window on the third floor with a flying sword.
The West Tower occupies a large area, there are five rooms on the third floor, only one has an open door, and the rest are as empty as the room he entered.
Li Han had lunch before leaving London, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when he walked into the castle, and after walking around the castle, it was almost five o'clock. Winter in England is short, it gets dark at four o'clock, and the lights are already on in the house, and a group of men and women are chatting and drinking in twos and threes.
He counted them, and there were 11 vampires in total. There was no movement on the first and second floors, and there should be no one to talk to the vampires, and this tangy smell of blood told Li Han that this group of vampires was not drinking red wine as he thought, but blood, and it was probably human blood.
With one to eleven, if you break in directly, no matter how powerful Li Han is, he will be made dumplings, and even if this room is big enough to have a dance party, after standing 11 vampires, he will not be able to use it at all if he goes in again.
And his purpose is not to maintain justice and eliminate the vampires, but to create panic among the vampires and provoke the Earl of Field. So he couldn't do anything to kill all these vampires...... But it would be nice if he could kill as many as he could, otherwise when he killed Earl Field, who knows if they would come to him for revenge?
Li Han quietly left Annick Castle and dialed the phone of a certain unlucky team leader of a mysterious department: "Are you in charge of the vampire?" I found out that a family was being held hostage by vampires, possibly being kept in captivity by them as a blood bank...... Oh, although I don't have the ability to save people, it's still okay to call the police, don't call you, do you want me to call 999? (To be continued......)
PS: I'm really embarrassed, I was suddenly arrested by the leader on a business trip, and I have no computer and no network...... I'm really sorry
I'm sorry~
