Chapter 40: The Secret of the Mural

There was a faint glow in the cave, and the three of them found a clean place to sit down, listening to Frankenstein opposite him talk about his origins.

"My father is Dr. Victor, and he created me, and I can give Dracula eternal life to future generations, and Dracula has a machine, and I am the key to that machine, the key to life."

Frankenstein pointed to the lightning-like thing in his head: "No one can replace me, so Dracula's reality has been failing, like this one tonight." ”

"You saw it all?"

Zhang Yang asked.

"Yes, because it's too much movement."

"But Dracula's... Descendants, all dead, I think you're safe. ”

Van Hersin looked at Frankenstein across from him and uttered his speculation, then saw Frankenstein shake his head.

"No, what you have eliminated is only one of the brides, born at one time, and there are at least a thousand of these offspring in Dracula's lair, countless more."

The news resounded in Van Hesing's mind like a thunderbolt. He muttered.

"No wonder I've always felt that something is wrong there, Dracula has lived here for more than 400 years, and if you want to have children, you can't have that, there are many more!"

And Anna turned pale: "Countless? How many more? ”

The three of them all understood the meaning behind this number, just the hundreds of little vampires who were temporarily resurrected at night almost caused a catastrophe in the town, not to mention the thousands?

Not to mention feeding these little devils. It will take some time for these guys to grow up, and a Transylvania is clearly not enough for them, and Dracula will be showing his sharp minions to the outside. Continue to expand your dominance! At that time, who will be able to resist!

Even Van Hersin did not dare to pat his chest and say that the Holy See would definitely be able to win. The Holy Knights are indeed very powerful, but this is relative, in the face of thousands of vampires, even the Holy Knights can only destroy the group, not to mention that the vampires' abilities are far more than these?

Speaking of which. Frankenstein suddenly showed a self-deprecating laugh: "Actually, you should kill me, if Dracula finds me, you humans will be wiped out." ”

This time Anna did not speak. He could see that Zhang Yang and Van Hersin were negative about the idea.

"It doesn't have to be to kill you, just so that Dracula can't find you, or can't get you, that's enough."

Van Hesin suddenly slapped his thigh. It seems that something has come up with a solution. Then he spoke.

"I can send you to the Holy See, even Dracula, he won't dare to break there."

The thought lit up Frankenstein's eyes, but it immediately dimmed again, and Zhang Yang shook his head in rejection.

"Van Hersin, I think you know the character of those people in the Holy See better than I do, and do you think it is a wise choice to send him to the Holy See? I think we'll only see his ashes. ”

Zhang Yang directly rejected Van Hersing's approach. In his previous contacts, he learned about the character of the Holy See, which is the hard-line attitude that allows for a little sand in his eyes. He was besieged by the Holy Knights with just a cursed gold coin, and it was hard to imagine what would happen to Frankenstein.

Burned? Bury alive? Crucifixion?

The Holy See has a way to deal with this method of dealing with dark creatures and heretics. As if thinking of his fate, Frankenstein couldn't help but shudder.

"He's right, I don't think it's as safe as my cave."

Van Hesin was reminded by Zhang Yang like this, and also realized that something was wrong, and then said bitterly: "Then what should we do? Sooner or later, this cave will be discovered, and the Holy See is not safe, so where should we go? ”

Several people thought about it for a long time, but they didn't have any good ideas, Zhang Yang knew that in the movie, Frankenstein left here in a small boat, and no one knew where it was secluded.

If Frankenstein is hastily let out, Zhang Yang doesn't know if the system will deliberately arrange for Dracula to capture him, which will be even more tricky.

Everyone thought about it for a long time, but there was no good way, and in the end, it was Anna who said.

"It's better to let him follow me back to my house first, the place at home is very large, it is not a problem to hide him, and where there is a weapon, even if Dracula really comes, it will not be so easy to attack, where we are slowly trying to figure out a way."

"That's the only way to do it now."

Zhang Yang thought about it and found that this was the only safer way at the moment, and Van Hersin and Frankenstein did not deny it, nodding in agreement.

The cave was extremely rudimentary, and there was nothing to carry, and the only tent that Frankenstein used to sleep in was also made of a few rags and wood, and it was impossible to leave at the moment, so the four of them observed the situation outside, and then quietly returned to the castle under the cover of night.

The vampire bride was not seen along the way, and apparently the other party had given up the pursuit for the time being, so Anna led everyone around through the back door and arranged Frankenstein in a hidden basement, which could not only hide people's eyes, but also prevent vampires or werewolves from prying eyes.

"I can only wronged you first, if you are outside, it is likely to be discovered by the servants."

Anna takes Frankenstein to the basement and feels a little embarrassed.

"It's already good, at least it doesn't leak on rainy days, there are comfortable beds, there is food, and I don't have to worry about it every day, I'm satisfied."

Frankenstein didn't look impatient, but rather satisfied, and he was used to living in underground caverns, but he was a little unaccustomed to living in a large room outside.

The ventilation windows in the basement are hidden behind the rockery and trees, so you don't have to worry about being discovered.

"If you can, please give me a lamp and a complete Bible, which is only half a Bible."

Frankenstein made his only request, which was not a problem for the wealthy Anna, who soon sent him a stack of complete Bibles.

These are Catholic Bibles, with a word count of about 3 million words, which is not a small project, and with these, Frankenstein is very satisfied and begins to wave his hands to chase people, for him, the greatest wish is to live, and there is no other entertainment or physical needs, so it is easy to meet.

In the previous conversation, knowing that the other party's greatest wish is to live in peace, Anna also gave up some of her old views and accepted the existence of Frankenstein, as Zhang Yang said, the other party is from a dark background, but not evil, in one sentence can be explained succinctly.

Feet in the darkness, in the light.

When they saw Carl again, they found Carl chatting with a woman, and when she saw them coming, the woman stood up a little embarrassed.

"Carl?"

Van Hesin raised his eyebrows, Karl is a junior monk, just like the lay disciple in Huaxia, similar to the fire dwelling Taoist, and he is not too taboo about marriage.

"Well, Van Hersing, I think I can explain."

Zhang Yang and Anna were completely watching the excitement, but they didn't expect Carl to successfully hook up with a girl after just one night, and it seemed that he was close to hitting the last home run, so he couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up.

Now that she had arrived, Anna asked the servant to arrange a room for her to rest for a while, while Karl mysteriously dragged the three of them to the tower, as if he had discovered some great secret.

"Van Hesing, I've just discovered something amazing."

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the half-human-high mountain of books on the table next to them, and it was obvious that Carl had been busy looking up information for most of the night.

Carl came to a wall with a slot for a torch, and when he pushed it with his hand, the slot suddenly fell, and then a small piece of the wall turned around three hundred and sixty degrees, revealing a mural.

Looking at the two of them who were a little surprised, Carl was obviously very proud, while Anna looked at the mural and wondered.

"I've been playing here a lot since I was a kid, but I've never heard my father say anything like this."

Van Hesin quietly gave a thumbs up, and it is conceivable that what can be carefully hidden by Anna's father must have some special meaning.

The three of them looked at the mural, which depicted a black castle, apparently Frankenstein's Castle, and two soldiers in old-fashioned Roman robes, each holding a shield and a sword, fighting with a bright moon overhead, and large sections of Latin written around the fresco.

Karl pointed to the Latin texts and said, "These Latin words mean that even a person with a pure heart and who prays every night can become a werewolf, and when the aconite grass blooms, the moon shines brightly, or when he goes to suck the blood, they will eventually be destroyed." ”

When several people stared at the mural, they vaguely felt that the two soldiers on the picture moved, which looked a little frightening, and the three of them looked at each other and sensed that something was wrong in the painting.

"You feel it too?"

"The characters in that painting seem to be moving?"

Several people turned their eyes back to the mural, and after staring at it for a moment, they saw that the two people above moved again, and began to fight like real people, with a faint flash of thunder and lightning in the background, and even a bell ringing in their ears.

"This is?!"

Anna suddenly shouted, and the others also saw this scene, two soldiers who did not distinguish between victory and defeat, the next moment their clothes turned into pieces, and the two of them began to grow larger, and one of them even grew a pair of wings!

These two people turned into werewolves and vampires respectively!

――――

Recently, my train of thought has been a little confused, and after thinking about it, I will try my best to end this episode of Van Hersing. (To be continued......)
