72 The tragic history of the countess

"These two ...... Your parents? ”

Excluding the two guys who knew they were maids by looking at their clothes, Zhang Luo stood in front of the two coffins in the middle and stared at the two "corpses" trapped inside.

Lying in the coffin on the left is a mild-mannered middle-aged man.

The man had two slightly upturned mustaches on his face, and his countenance showed the air of a scholar, and he was dressed in a brown padded gown common among the nobility of medieval Europe, with a sword hanging from his waist.

In the coffin on the right is a beautiful woman.

Like Bloody Mary, she has long silver hair. Wearing a gorgeous dark purple dress, lying quietly in the coffin with her eyes closed, she exuded a holy and solemn atmosphere.

Based on their actions alone, Zhang Luo naturally couldn't confirm that they were vampires. The problem is their skin color, which is just too abnormal.

-- The skin of the four people in the coffin has reached a level of near transparency, and even the blood vessels under the skin can be clearly seen.

Although their eyes were not open, there was still a faint trace of scarlet blood under their eyelids.

There is no doubt that the state of these two is exactly the same as the vampires that Zhang Luo saw in the arena of the "Halloween Killing Contest". But despite this......

"It can't be...... How did my parents become vampires? Am I having a nightmare? The silver-haired girl who didn't believe what she saw at all began to tremble slightly.

"Yes, this is indeed your nightmare." Zhang Luo took a step forward as he said and patted the shoulder of the girl next to him: "However, in this nightmare, there are also things you don't know. ”

By this time, he was completely sure of his assumptions: this nightmare space did not come from the memories of Bloody Mary, but was a complete recreation of what happened at that time. Among them, there is even a "hidden plot" that even the creator of the dream does not know!

"But how could they ......" Bloody Mary shook her head.

Even if the evidence is conclusive, she still can't accept the "facts" in front of her. However, Zhang Luo can fully understand her feelings: as the eldest lady of an aristocratic family, she suddenly found that her parents who had always loved her had become vampires, which was difficult for everyone to accept.

But if that's the way things are......

"The reason why those soldiers were sent here is not to capture the 'countess bathed in human blood', but the real purpose is to exterminate the vampires?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo immediately understood why the massacre occurred in the castle.

- It is likely that the soldiers killed all the people here in order to exterminate the vampires. But judging by their weaponry, as well as their combat experience, it is likely that they do not know that they are facing vampires. So......

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo asked the silver-haired girl beside him who was still in a daze: "Do you remember who the commander of the army that attacked the castle was?" ”

Bloody Mary nodded gloomily: "Gad, the leader of the Kingdom Warrior Corps, I will never forget the appearance of that bastard. ”

"It's time to meet this Gad." Zhang Luo smiled.

……

By the time the second group arrived at the castle, it was nearly dusk.

After using various horror traps to kill the first batch of soldiers, if Zhang Luo was willing, he would have been able to leave the castle to complete the mission.

But he didn't do that, but walked around the castle, visited the ornate building where Bloody Mary lived, and learned about her former life from the mouth of the silver-haired girl:

- The daughter of a famous Hungarian aristocratic family, named Mary. The eldest lady of Bathory was supposed to inherit the castle at the age of eighteen, as well as part of the land in the name of her father, Baron Bathory.

However, after a mysterious stranger visited, her parents began to shut down and passed the ownership of the castle directly to her at the age of thirteen.

Although she was not interested in inheriting land at all, she began to learn how to manage her own land and people efficiently under the guidance of the steward.

But at this moment, an unexpected horror suddenly happened.

In a village that was supposed to be in her charge, all the villagers were killed overnight, all the men had their throats cut, and the women were drained of their blood and laid flat on their beds, as if they were sleeping peacefully.

When the villagers of the nearby village stumbled upon the tragic situation, they immediately reported the matter to the guards at the nearby outpost. The Hungarian Kingdom Warrior Regiment, which learned of this tragedy, sent soldiers to investigate, and found an even more terrifying situation:

Over the years, many of the girls who had mysteriously disappeared in nearby towns had appeared in a terrifying torture chamber beneath the village.

After seeing the tragic situation inside the secret torture cell, even the veterans who had been on the battlefield and had rich experience in killing people were so frightened that their legs trembled!

Then, they immediately realized that the only force that could build a torture chamber in such a place and torture innocent girls to death without being discovered was the Bathory family, who ruled the land.

For such a brutal incident, the kingdom was quick to give an official response. Immediately send a large number of soldiers to begin a thorough siege of the castle run by the new "countess" of the Bathory family.

At this time, the little girl who became the notorious evil spirit "Bloody Mary" in later generations had just turned fourteen years old......

"Hmm...... I kind of understand what's going on. ”

Still thinking about the story he had heard from the silver-haired girl before, the heavy footsteps sounding downstairs again interrupted Zhang Luo's thoughts.

He had already returned to the third floor, cautiously poked his head out, looked downstairs into the garden, and saw dozens of soldiers entering the courtyard, and bright red battle flags stood in the crowd.

This time, it was not the light infantry from last time, but a strong man in heavy armor.

These big men in black heavy armor don't look like local troops, but more like rude Viking warriors. In each of them, they held a huge gavel with a handle thicker than an ordinary person's arm. Even the shortest guy is at least two meters tall.

"What's the matter with these guys?" Zhang Luo asked.

"It's a mercenary from Northern Europe." Seeing the familiar nightmare, the silver-haired girl's body trembled.

"It looks quite powerful, and it's even more interesting to kill such an opponent."

After squinting his eyes and making a dangerous statement, Zhang Luo asked again: "Is the leader of the Kingdom Warrior Regiment named Gad here?" ”

"He's out there, commanding ......" Bloody Mary seemed reluctant to bring up this memory, and her voice became much lowered: "I was escorted to him by these mercenaries, and then he cut off my head with a big axe......"

"Isn't it brought back for trial, but executed on the spot?" Zhang Luo stared thoughtfully at the crowd of black pressure below.

- There's probably something wrong with that guy named Gad. But now, as long as he leaves the castle, he will complete the task of "breaking through the dream", and he will not be able to talk to Gad.

In this case, if you want to confront Gad head-on, you must find a way to bring him into the castle.
