Chapter IV: Exclusion
After walking for about an hour, Shen Yi finally saw the small town of Transylvania.
The Blood Emblem indicates that as soon as the main quest is completed, 200 Blood Points will be rewarded.
Transylvania is said to be a small town, but it is actually a small village. Even though it's the 19th century, you'll feel like you're in the Middle Ages in Europe. Wooden houses are the main buildings here, the roofs are mostly paved with haystacks, and most of the houses are small compound buildings, with a simple peasant style, and there is hardly any product related to the term industrialization.
Not far away, some townspeople stopped what they were doing when they saw Anna returning.
"Sister Anna!" cried a little girl.
"Hey, Lily, you're so beautiful today. Anna waved in response.
"Oh, it's our Princess Anna who has returned, I'm glad you're still alive, and how many man-wolves have been killed this time?" an uncle shouted to Anna as he came out of the hut and brandished his hoe.
"Not a single one, those guys are getting more cunning now, more cunning than you, Uncle Todd. ”
"Anna, you're a girl, it's better to go out less to do this kind of thing in the future. "That's the aunt who was fetching water.
"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Julie, you look good today. ”
As a descendant of the Villaris family, Anna is quite famous in the town and is considered the leader of the town. Along the way, many local villagers greeted Anna.
A young, strong, handsome young man blocked Anna's way: "Anna, I told you not to do those dangerous things again. If you must do it, at least call me. ”
"There's no need for that, Gasken. Anna looked at the young man in front of her, she noticed a scar on the other party's head, and frowned: "You are fighting again." ”
The young man spread his hands: "There are two drunks who refuse to pay, it is not a fight, it is just to teach them a lesson...... I said, "Who's the guy around you?" ”
The young man pointed at Shen Yi and asked Anna.
"It's none of your business. To Shen Yi's surprise, Anna was reluctant to introduce Shen Yi's identity.
The young man Gasken looked at Shen Yi's eyes full of vigilance: "Stranger, what are you doing here?"
Shen Yi smiled slightly: "She said it had nothing to do with you." ”
Gasken's face changed, and he was about to step forward to grab Shen Yi, but Anna grabbed Gasken's wrist and said sharply: "Gasken, I warn you not to treat my friend like this!"
"Your friend?" Gasken snorted and glanced at Shen Yi, then looked back at Anna: "I see that you haven't known him for more than two hours!"
"That's my business! I warn you better not ask me what I'm doing, and go back to being your tavern buddy!" exclaimed Anna.
Perhaps seeing Anna's tough attitude, Gasken glared at Shen Yi fiercely, and then left stupidly.
Anna said to Shen Yi with some embarrassment: "Don't mind, Gasken is not a bad person, he just has a straight temper." ”
"You missed a sentence: and at the same time there is a little bit of affection for you. I saw jealousy in his eyes. You know that only when a man is madly in love with a woman will he be hostile to any man around her, even the man he meets. ”
"I don't need you to remind me of this question. Anna replied angrily, and then walked forward alone.
The most luxurious castle-like building in town is Anna's home.
took Shen Yi into the house, and Anna looked for medicine for Shen Yi.
Walking into the spacious hall, Shen Yi looked around.
It is a medieval-style castle with antique chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and large paintings on the walls, mostly portraits of the ancestors of the Villares family. They wore knightly armor and armed with spears, and were imposing.
The floor is covered with a carpet of delicate patterns, and in the center of the hall is a fireplace carved with 13th-century ornaments, where wood burns and crackles, bringing warmth to the cold winter weather.
In the corners of the hall, there are also weapons racks, spears, bayonet swords, hand axes, scimitars, which fill the shelves.
"The house is huge. He said.
"The legacy of my great-great-great-grandfather is the only testimony to the Villaris family's rise and fall. Anna came over with the medicine.
She instructed Shen Yi to lie down on the sofa, and then carefully medicated his chest.
She seems to do this kind of thing a lot, and she is very skillful.
"You live alone?" asked Shen Yi.
"I used to live with my brother, but now I'm alone. But somebody comes over every week to clean up, and you know I don't have time for that. ”
"Of course, you'll have to be busy hunting killer wolves. Shen Yi said with a smile.
"Or they may be chased by wolves. Anna laughed too.
The gentle hand caressed Shen Yi's wound, bringing a slight cool feeling. Although these are ordinary drugs and cannot directly restore life, they still need to improve the speed of self-recovery.
"Don't you feel tired?"
"Sometimes there are, but that's fate. Fate is destined to fight vampires for the rest of our lives, and we have no choice but to face them bravely. ”
"You're a brave girl. Shen Yi said sincerely.
"Thank you. Anna smeared the last bit of ointment on Shen Yi's chest, and then patted him: "Okay, take a good rest for two days, you will recover soon." ”
Shen Yi looked at himself in the mirror, except for his face was a little pale, he didn't seem to be in any serious trouble.
"For the sake of you saving me, you can live here, there are enough rooms here anyway. There's the bathroom over there, and upstairs is my room. You can choose one of your own rooms downstairs. The restaurant is on the other side, but there's not much to eat. You know I don't have time to cook, you have to go to town and buy it yourself. Oh, by the way, there's money in the drawer over there, and you can use it yourself. ”
With that, Anna went upstairs by herself.
She was so tired today that she soon fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
She walked downstairs in a bit of a daze, but she smelled a familiar scent.
This made her a little curious.
Walking downstairs, I saw that the restaurant was already full of delicious food.
"Avocado squid, grilled cod, chives veal steak, cheese bacon, tuna corn grains, asparagus salad, fruit bowls, oh my God, where did you get that? Anna screamed in complete shock, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"I did. Shen Yi walked into the kitchen with wine: "The soup has been heated once, if you don't come down again, I'm going to go up and knock on the door." ”
Coming to the end of the table and sitting down, Anna looked at Shen Yi blankly.
"Try it, I hope you like it. Shen Yi said with a smile.
Anna forked a small piece of cod with a fork and put it in her mouth to savor it, and then she nodded desperately and praised: "It tastes amazing!"
"It's good to like it. Shen Yi raised his glass to Anna.
Before coming to this world, Shen Yi often traveled abroad. When you are alone, you have to learn to take care of yourself a lot of the time.
For Shen Yi, even if he is left in the desert, he will first make delicacies such as roasted sand scorpions, stewed rattlesnakes, and steamed humps, and then think about survival.
This gave Anna another little more admiration for this man.
It is often said that to capture a man's heart, you must first grasp his stomach.
In turn, to understand that grabbing a woman's stomach can also capture her heart.
Although Shen Yi didn't plan to have any super friendship with Anna, it didn't prevent him from patting the landlord's ass when necessary.
In particular, he recognizes that Anna's presence could have a significant impact on his later missions.
"The last time I had a meal like this was on my twelfth birthday. Anna unceremoniously sent a large spoonful of tuna corn grains into her mouth.
"It's really hard for a woman to be destined to spend her whole life fighting vampires from birth. Shen Yi said lightly.
"My ancestors made a vow to God that as long as Dracula was not destroyed for a day, he and his descendants would never be able to enter heaven. In order to free our ancestors from this suffering, we have never stopped fighting, but unfortunately...... I don't think I'll ever be able to send my ancestors to heaven by my strength alone. Anna's voice was slightly low and sad.
"Honestly, that's exactly what I'm unhappy about. I'd rather go to hell than let my descendants suffer like this...... If I had descendants. ”
Anna smiled: "You are the existence of destroying evil, and you will not go to hell." ”
"I don't think so. Maybe I should really do something to prove my evil to you. Shen Yi winked at Anna.
Anna shook her head again and again: "No, I don't believe it, you are a good person, and good people will not go to hell." ”
"I'm sorry, I thought I was in hell. Shen Yi muttered softly.
Who's to say that a bloody city isn't hell?
Although he hadn't officially been there yet, Shen Yi had already smelled the faint smell of blood in that terrifying city.
After thinking about it, he put down his knife and fork and said to Anna:
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Say it. "Anna is eagerly savoring the food, and her movements are gentle and elegant.
"Why don't you tell the people here who I am?"
Anna was about to answer when there was a sudden cacophony of voices outside.
Shen Yi quickly took out his gun from the coat of arms and walked to the window, only to see a large group of townspeople holding torches high and walking towards this side with a fierce attitude.
The first one is a middle-aged man wearing a high top hat, dressed as a gentleman, and holding a staff of civilization in his hand.
The rest of the townsfolk were armed with scythes, hoes, and axes......
"Oh,!" cried Anna.
Shen Yi looked back at Anna: "They don't seem to be good, can you tell me what's wrong?"
"You'll find out right away. Anna put her knife and fork away, ran out of the dining room as fast as she could, took a cross sword from the hall, and ran to the door.
She opened the gates, and a large number of townspeople had surrounded the castle.
"Northhon!" shouted Anna, raising her sword, "what are you bringing them for?"
The gentleman-like man exclaimed, "The townsfolk just found the body of the silver wolf on the other side of the riverbank. Tell me, Anna, who killed the silver wolf?"
"It's me!" replied Anna exclaimed.
"Come on, Anna, if you could have done it, you would have done it a long time ago. The man named Northon sneered, "It's the stranger you brought back, right? I want you to hand him over!"
"Don't even think about it, Northam. As long as the Villaris family remains the leader of this land, I will defend the dignity of the family to the death. You can refuse to fight the vampires, but don't think I'll hand over the warriors who fought the vampires! If you want to capture him, you'll have to step on my corpse first!"
Anna said this with great firmness, and she looked at the townspeople, and the townsfolk looked at her.
For this girl who has been fighting vampires all year round, the townspeople still have a lot of respect.
Perhaps sensing Anna's courage and determination, the man called Northon said in a deep voice, "I wish you knew what you were doing. The Silver Wolf is no ordinary human wolf, it is one of Dracula's two most important men. Its death would have angered Count Dracula. Transylvania could not withstand the wrath of the vampires. ”
"But as long as there is one person alive in the Villaris family, they don't want to do whatever they want. Anna replied proudly.
Nuo Sen glanced at Shen Yi behind the door: "That foreigner, he had better not leave the town." ”
With that, he turned and left with a large group of townspeople.
Anna let out a long sigh as she watched the townsfolk leave.
She leaned against the door with some weakness and said:
"Now you know why I didn't tell them who you are...... Not all oppressed peoples aspire to be saved. ”
"A flock of lost lambs. Shen Yi replied with a smile: "Thankfully, my hometown has sufficient historical experience in dealing with this kind of people. ”
