Ethan insisted on going to see Serena, of course, for his own reasons: he wanted to determine whether this Serena was the one he knew.

It's not just about judging if it's the vampire Selena from the legend of the night, it's about whether it's the one on your own ship.

If it weren't better, it turned out that this Tower of Babel was just a trial for him personally.

If it's the case you know, it's more troublesome – it means that not only are you 'trapped' here, but even your fellow shipmates, or people you have a relationship with, may be involved.

Now he was desperate to reach Transylvania, but unfortunately he could not fly or teleport as an ordinary person, and could only rely on his legs to get there, but fortunately Van Helsing did not throw him off with a horse, so he also had a guide to guide him, so that he could not even find the place.

Until sunset, Van Helsing stopped hurrying and decided to camp and rest.

Take some hard bread and jerky out of the package and roast them over the fire for dinner.

Ethan also brought a small amount of jerky with him, all of which were dry food brought from the 'last world', and the campfire raised by Van Helsing was also briefly warmed up, and the two men sat next to the campfire and quietly ate this not very delicious dinner.

After nibbling on the jerky in his hand, Van Helsing asked Ethan why he wanted to go to Transylvania.

"Didn't I say that?"

"Do you really know Serena?"

Ethan's clothes are a little torn, and the whole person looks a little 'down', but it can still be seen from the subtleties that Ethan was born in a well-off family, and although the clothes on his body are tattered and old, it can be seen that they are made of good materials, which are not clothes that ordinary people can afford to wear - if they are picked up, the first reaction of ordinary civilians is to sell them for money.

So it seems very likely that Ethan said that he knew Count Serena.

"I don't know if this is the Serena I know......"

Ethan meant not sure that this Serena was the Serena he was familiar with, while Van Helsing understood it to mean something else: "After receiving the information about Serena, the Holy See entrusted me to check the situation...... I've seen the information that the Holy See has gathered, and it's likely that Count Serena has fallen...... A person who has completely fallen is tantamount to becoming a completely strange being, and you better not expect anything. ”

“......”

Ethan smiled bitterly, Van Helsing misunderstood his words, and he couldn't explain the matter, so he could only nod helplessly to deal with it.

After eating, Van Helsing told Ethan to rest first and keep watch for the middle of the night.

However, after Ethan got up in the middle of the night, Van Helsing did not rest, but sat by the fire to rest - alone, Van Helsing always maintained enough vigilance, with a person like Ethan who did not know the real details, he could not rest at ease.

Ethan didn't really rest, he seemed to have slept a lot, but in fact he just rested with his eyes closed, and he didn't dare to let himself really fall asleep.

Van Helsing is not a villain in the evil camp, as a vampire hunter, he can be said to be a member of the righteous camp, but after all, the two sides have just met, and they are still strangers who are not familiar with each other, who knows if Van Helsing will think he is too suspicious and suddenly make a move on him?

It shouldn't be enough to kill him, but tying him up while he's asleep is enough for Ethan to be depressed.

Now sit up, although Van Helsing did not let him keep vigil, Ethan did not lie back, but sat by the campfire like Van Helsing, quietly waiting for the dawn.

When the sun came up and the sky brightened, the two of them began to hit the road again.

This time, instead of riding, Van Helsing led the horse, and the two men continued to talk little along the way, which lasted until they arrived in Transylvania a few days later.

"Here we are, it's Transylvania......"

The place was more of a town than a village, where the commoners of the region lived, and the ruler, Count Serena, lived in a castle not far away.

Ethan looked at the shabby, squalid village, but thought about Van Helsing's plot.

He knew that this encounter could not completely harden the 'original' plot, and the appearance of Count Serena meant that the plot had already been chaotic, but he would still wonder if there would be a woman named Anna living in this village, and then he would have a crush on Van Helsing.

Once in the town, Ethan quickly determined that there was no such thing as the woman from the original story.

After going around the circle, Ethan found Van Helsing at the entrance of the town.

"It's good that you're out so I don't have to go into town to look for you anymore. ”

"There's a problem here?"

"Didn't you notice it already?"

The whole town was filled with a strange depression, and with the dark clouds of black pressure, even though it was close to noon, which should have been the brightest time of the day, the area was dark.

In addition, although the residents here still maintain their normal routine, their faces and emotions are very wrong, and if no one accostes them, these people will not take the initiative to communicate with people, but just mechanically do the work they do every day.

"It's so weird here, it's not a good choice to stay in town. ”

Van Helsing had already hung all kinds of weapons on his body, and one of the important functions of his heavy leather coat was to carry all kinds of weapons.

"So I think it's better for you to leave as soon as possible. ”

"It's too late to leave. ”

Ethan looked at it, and finally stopped at the long sword hanging on the horse's back, then threw aside the wooden stick that had been with him for a long time, picked it up easily, and hung it unceremoniously on his waist.

“......”

Van Helsing looked at Ethan's movements, and did not express dissatisfaction or anything, but asked Ethan: "In addition to the weird atmosphere, have you noticed anything?"

"There wasn't a single young girl in town. ”

Van Helsing nodded, "This matches the information I've read, and it means that we are about to face a terrifying monster that has fallen into darkness." ”

"You don't have to stress that over and over again. ”

"I'm just trying to make sure, you're really not leaving?"

"As I said, it's too late. Ethan tilted his head and nodded at a shop not far away, "Didn't you notice that there was no one there?"

Van Helsing glanced in that direction, and of course he noticed it, but Ethan could also notice, proving once again that Ethan was not an ordinary person at all.

But now he didn't have time to dwell on this matter, Van Helsing accepted the Holy See's commission to investigate the situation, and now he can basically confirm that the information received by the Holy See is basically true, in this case all he has to do is to find out the strength of the countess.

If the strength is not very strong, he will easily get rid of this depraved countess and add another touch to his prestige.

If the strength is strong...... Then it depends on whether he can survive; if he can survive, explain the situation to the Holy See, and what the Holy See will do next is none of her business; if he can't survive...... So what else is there to say?

"What are you going to do?"

Ethan drew his sword and swung it a few times.

With just these few simple movements, Van Helsing could see that Ethan had a good foundation in swordsmanship: he was testing the weight of the sword, the center of gravity, etc., and only a swordsman who had reached a certain level would pay attention to these details.

"The hosts knew we were coming, and it would be rude for us not to visit. ”

"That's a good point...... But what do you mean, it seems to be a bright past?"

Although Van Helsing is a member of the 'righteous camp', he is not so particular about eliminating vampires, and his original plan was to infiltrate the Count's castle and then wait for the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the countess.

"Of course. ”

The town is not close to the Count's castle, but it is not far either, anyway, passing through this town, you can see the Count's castle in the distance from the exit on the other side.

At such a distance, the two of them were delayed in the town for a short time, and the messenger was enough to tell the countess all kinds of information about the two of them, believing that the countess was ready.

Therefore, it is impossible to sneak up on anything, and the two of them even have to beware of the countess sending someone to raid the two of them.

"You got here?"

Van Helsing was ready to kill all the way, and the road to the castle was unimpeded, and it was very easy to get to the outside of the castle.

What surprised him even more was that the countess Serena actually sent someone to meet the two of them at the door, this person was the person who had opened a shop at the entrance of the town before, that is, the one who was found missing by Ethan, and was sent to greet them after reporting to the countess, and the countess was deliberately provoking the two.

Both Van Helsing and Ethan glanced at the man a few times, and found that his eyes were blank and glazed, obviously controlled.

Ethan guessed which way Serena was using it, and Van Helsing was watching the man's neck.

No signs of being bitten, not a vampire?

Following the walking corpse, Van Helsing and Ethan's hands were on their weapons, but the road was still uneventful, and the two of them made their way to the castle and were led to a large wooden door.

When the two of them came to this corridor, the strong smell of blood constantly stimulated their sense of smell, and Van Helsing's brow furrowed from that moment on: even as a vampire hunter, he had never encountered such a strong smell of blood, this situation was not normal.

And the 'well-informed' Ethan immediately judged that it was a very large amount of blood exposed to the air.

Pushing open the door in front of them and entering the room, both of them were stunned by what they saw in front of them, and Ethan made a judgment for the first time.

"This is definitely not my Serena!"
