Van Helsing was angry at what the maid said.

But what he was angry about was not the difference in treatment, but that he was powerless to refute.

Indeed, Legolas was dressed in exquisite silver armor, with a handsome appearance and a cold temperament, and at first glance he was a knight of justice.

On the other hand, there are two of them, one is a wanted criminal in Europe, and the other is a raunchy scientist.

Neither of them is the kind of person who likes to clean up and dress themselves, wearing black leather armor and a hooded cloak on their bodies, no matter how they look at it, they look like two secretive, sneaky evil villains, no wonder people dare not approach them.

Looking at Carl, who was smiling at the corners of his mouth and even drinking tea with a hint of obscene temperament, Van Helsing couldn't help but sigh softly.

At this moment, Viken and Anna walked in from outside and waved all the maids out.

"How's the conversation?" Anna asked with a chuckle.

Van Helsing's face turned straight and said, "A consensus has been reached, Legolas will join us in the crusade against Count Dracula......"

The corners of Viken's mouth twitched, and he said with black lines on his head: "Van Helsing, you said the opposite, you are the later!" ”

"It's all the same." Van Helsing waved his hand indifferently, and then said in a serious tone, "Anyway, we've killed three vampire brides now, and there's no way Count Dracula will let us go." ”

"Instead of staying here and waiting for the attack, let's take the initiative, I don't want to sit still anyway, what about you?"

Viken and Anna looked at each other, and Anna sighed softly, "Of course we don't want to sit still, but we don't know where Dracula is, and no one has been able to find his lair for more than four hundred years." ”

Van Helsing frowned and said, "There really are no clues at all?" ”

Anna shook her head, but Viken hesitated, as if something unspeakable.

Legolas knew the plot and kept an eye on Viken's expression.

Seeing his hesitation, Legolas finally spoke lightly: "Prince Viken, whether it is me or Van Helsing, we all sincerely want to help you kill Count Dracula, if you know any clues, it is best to tell them all, otherwise, even if we have the heart, we will not be able to help." ”

“……”

The look on Viken's face became even more hesitant.

Seeing this, Anna frowned, and couldn't help but say, "You really have something to hide from me?" ”

Viken sighed and said with a wry smile: "Anna, my father did tell me some things alone, but these things are just old things, and even if you say them, they won't help you substantially. ”

Van Helsing retorted: "But if you don't say it, how do we know if it's helpful or not?" ”

Legolas said calmly, "Say it, maybe we can find some clues." ”

Anna also persuaded her: "Yes, brother, I am also curious about what secret my father told you......

Seeing that everyone insisted on telling the secret, Viken sighed lightly and smiled bitterly to tell everyone about the relationship between Count Dracula and the Valelis family.

It turns out that the story of the year is not as simple as it is circulated in the outside world, and there are still some hidden secrets in it, and the biggest secret is the relationship between Count Dracula and the knight of Villeres.

"What, Count Dracula is actually the eldest son of that knight of Villeres?!"

Van Helsing's eyes widened, and Anna looked at Viken in disbelief.

She never thought that the biggest enemy in her life was actually her ancestor more than 400 years ago!

No wonder Viken looked entangled and unwilling to tell the truth, it turns out that there are such ugliness......

Viken nodded with a wry smile and continued with a sigh: "When Count Dracula betrayed God's faith and signed a pact with the devil to become an undead demon who sucked human blood, our ancestors heard about this and went to Rome in person, and vowed to kill Dracula in exchange for God's forgiveness. ”

"But tiger poison still doesn't eat children, as a father, how can he bear to kill his own son with his own hands."

"Of course, our ancestor, the mighty Knight of Villeres, has relented."

"He didn't kill Dracula, but through a magical gate that he couldn't return to, he banished him to the Frozen Castle, and left a family motto until one day in the future, when the family members had the consciousness of killing their relatives, and then went to the Frozen Castle to kill Dracula completely."

"Wait!" Van Helsing frowned, "If Dracula was really banished to a prison where he couldn't return, then how did he get out?" ”

"Of course it flew out!" Viken sighed and said, "The devil who tempted Dracula to sign the contract gave him a pair of wings, and Dracula relied on these wings to escape from the high altitude of the frozen castle and return to Drasphenia to take revenge on the Villeris family......"

“……”

Anna looked at Viken in a daze, her body was weak, she collapsed on the seat, and said in a daze: "So, Dracula's lair, that frozen castle, is actually the prison where our ancestors exiled Dracula?" ”

Vikenku smiled bitterly and nodded, "That's right. ”

Anna laughed to herself, "But now, he can come and go in and out of the frozen castle at will, and we, the descendants of Villeres, can't find even a door." ”

Viken shook his head, "I know where the door is, but I can't open it." ”

Anna was stunned, "You know? ”

Viken whispered, "My father told me. ”

"So what are you waiting for?" Van Helsing immediately got up and said with a smile, "Take us to see, maybe, we have a way to open that door?" ”

Legolas did not speak, but just stood up in the same way and expressed his attitude with action.

Viken sighed and said, "It's not that I look down on you, the Villellis family hasn't been able to open that door for more than four hundred years, and you want to open it in a short time, and your hope is very slim......"

"However, since the showdown has reached this point, if I don't take you to see it, you won't give up if you think about it."

With that, Viken got up, looked at Legolas and Van Helsing with complicated eyes, and said, "Come with me." ”

Legolas and Van Helsing looked at each other and followed.

Karl was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly caught up: "Wait for me!" ”

Led by Viken, a group of five people walked through the corridors to the castle's arsenal.

It is home to a large collection of silver equipment used to hunt vampires, as well as knives, guns, clubs, and full-body armor left behind by Villelis.

Anna frowned: "Brother, what are you bringing us here for?" ”

Hearing Anna's inquiry, Viken let out a long sigh and didn't speak, just staring at the wall in front of him.

On this wall, a large parchment map is pasted on which the terrain around Deransphenia is delicately drawn.

All mountains, forests, rivers, lakes, and even towns and docks are marked on the map as they are.

Following Viken's gaze, Anna couldn't help but frown: "I remember this map, my father would often spend hours studying this map, trying to find the way to the frozen castle......"

"He's not looking for a way to the frozen castle." Viken shook his head and said, "This wall is the road!" ”

“…… What? Anna couldn't help but look stunned.

Viken sighed and said, "As I just said, this wall is the magic gate that cannot be turned back from in the beginning, but we have lost the spell and method to open it, so we have been unable to enter it for a long time. ”

"That's ...... so"

Anna finally understood everything.

Legolas patted Van Helsing, who was eating melons with relish, and then reached out to the bottom left corner of the map.

Van Helsing was slightly stunned, and followed Legolas's finger to see the Latin script on the left side of the map, and the triangle in the lower left corner.

"Huh?" Van Helsing wondered, "Why is this map missing?" ”

Van Helsing said as he crouched down, curiously looking at the mutilation in the lower left corner of the map, and then the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

Suddenly, Van Helsing's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up, took out a cylinder from his arms, and when it unfolded, it was a triangular broken scroll.

Van Helsing tore off the broken scroll and pasted it to the broken part of the map in the lower left corner.

Viken was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "How did you have that broken map?" ”

Van Helsing stood up and said with a smile: "This is what the cardinal gave me before I left the Holy See, saying that it was left in Rome by the mighty knight of Villelis four hundred years ago. ”

"I didn't know what this thing was for, but now, I know."

“……”

Viken and Anna looked at each other, and they couldn't help but be excited.

Van Helsing turned his head and called Karl: "Karl, don't you know Latin, come and read it!" ”

Karl hurriedly stepped forward, but before he could start chanting, Legolas next to him suddenly spoke slowly: "In the name of God, open this door......"

As the words fell, a faint white light suddenly lit up on the mural map, and all the parchment depicting the topography of the mountains and rivers quickly dissolved, turning into a silver mirror in just a few breaths.

Van Helsing and the Viken siblings looked at each other with a smile of surprise on their faces.

The corners of Legolas's mouth curled, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that the smiles on the faces of Van Helsing and the Wiken siblings froze there.

No, not only the smiles, but also their movements, their demeanor, and even the dust floating in the air around them, and the sunlight shining in through the windows, were frozen here like solidified amber.

Everything remains in the same motion as it was the last moment, as if the whole world has been paused and no one can escape this freeze.

Except for Legolas, who glowed with silver all over his body.

Wait, the silver glow?

Legolas looked down in a daze, only to see that the psychic protection on his chest and the silver bracelet on his wrist were shining with silver light.

The layers of reinforced psychic protection appeared at the same time as the spatial barrier around the body, and then silently shattered in the tremor.

"What?!"

Legolas's pupils shook, and then he seemed to sense something, and couldn't help but turn his head to look out the window.

In the sky outside the window, infinite golden light converged from all directions, condensing into a divine staircase of golden light, all the way from the infinite and high cloud dome to the castle of Villelis.

Then he walked through the window in front of Legolas, stopping a step away from him.

Legolas raised his head in a daze, looked down the golden staircase, and even when he saw the divine golden light shining from behind the clouds, he could vaguely see the tip of the iceberg of the sacred white palace.

"That's ...... Heaven?! ”
