Chapter 90: Abu Hatak

"The Dragon King Cave on this island is a typical blue hole landform."

Li Wu explained to Hoshikawa Aoi in front of him, "In scientific theory, this is just a geological structure created by the seepage and dissolution of surface water into the ground, and because of the relationship between depth and refraction, it looks like a dark blue hole in the ocean. ”

"So what's the point of us going down?"

"But in the occult sense, the ancient Romans believed that the Blue Hole was a place for witches to practice magic, and the Indians believed that the Blue Hole was the lair of the demon Lusca, in other words, there was a common hypothesis behind the existence of the Blue Hole."

"That's what Arisa means when she says 'jump into the hole'...... Is it for us to jump into the blue hole? ”

After all, Hoshikawa Aoi is also a serious magic journeyman, and he figured out what Li Wu meant as soon as he thought about it.

"It's just speculation, but I think that's the meaning of the message given by Airisa."

She also participated in the communication with Miyashiro Ryu in the car and knew about the rumors of the island's so-called treasures.

Neither a shipwreck in the sea, nor a treasure sunken at the bottom of Lake Kamo, but an emphasis on the cave, the object of which it points to is self-evident.

If you're wrong, you'll have to look for her in a more stupid way.

Hoshikawa Aoi took a deep breath and dived down towards the surface.

The icy waters drowned the two outsiders, calmly swallowing everything in their tracks, leaving only faint ripples.

Like Alice walking down the rabbit hole, after crossing the dividing line on the water's surface, the feeling of darkness and coldness lasted only for a moment.

As they dived underneath the Dragon King's Cave, they leaped out of another uncharted sea.

The grey waters are as calm as a mirror, and the only land nearby is a reef-shaped island on which black stone towers rise to the sky.

"It did."

Hoshikawa Aoi was a little stunned.

"Let's go to the island."

The magical girl drives her wand and falls from the air onto the rough ground of the isolated island.

In front of the stone tower, two people were facing each other.

Arisa stood at the edge of the island, looking up at the sound of the wind.

She saw her friends descend from the sky.

"Li Wu!"

She greeted them excitedly: "I know you'll find this place!" ”

"And me? Why did you ignore me so naturally?! ”

Hoshikawa Aoi was noisy next to him.

They gathered together, making the opposite being feel that they were suddenly cold, so they coughed impatiently.

"Sorry to disturb your touching reunion, but we still have something to say, do we?"

Li Wu looked over.

Outwardly, it looked like a gnome with pale skin.

He had thin features, long canine teeth protruding from between his lips, and the inscription "Abu Hatak" was written on the top of his head.

"By the way, let me go in and see Dad, why the hell did he do this!"

Arisa calmed down from her joy, and Li Wu's arrival seemed to give her the courage to speak to the gnomes in front of her.

"Your father is in that tower?"

Li Wu asked.

"Yes." Arisa lowered her shoulders, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave without permission. However, Dad suddenly appeared in front of me, and his state was ...... Obviously not normal. ”

She clenched her fists unconsciously.

"That's probably influenced by something in this tower."

Abkhatak chuckled, "But I don't care about Tsepesh's family affairs, and I only offer a little help." ”

He looked at Li Wu: "What I'm really waiting for is you, Li Wu." ”

The gnome stretched out his finger and drew a four-colored pattern in the air.

It is a square arrangement, with four rings connected from end to end with intricate patterns, and an inverted triangle passes through the center, extending from its top upwards in a straight line, and the end depicts the pattern of a crown.

"You probably haven't seen our organization's logo yet?"

Abkhatak bowed, and Li Wu suddenly realized that his contrived tone was the tone that Jack Pumpkin had shown before.

"The Unity Society belongs, Abkhatak."

Just like the puppeteer at that time, the text on his head became [Guiyihui Abu Hatak].

"You're the 'king'? What, came to avenge Yuichi Uehara? ”

Li Wu didn't expect that the name of the organization that he thought he would never run into again would pop up here again.

"Yuichi Uehara? No, he died when he died. Abkhatak took a fanatical step forward, "The real value is that he met you." We are not your enemies. As a sign of sincerity, I can tell you what happened to the Tepeš family. ”

"Is he really credible?"

Hoshikawa Aoi asked, holding up the magic wand in his hand.

"It's okay to hear it, I already know who he is—I'm afraid he still has some connection to the Arisa family."

When it comes to Vlad III Dracula Tepes, I am afraid that the Count Dracula written by the Irish writer Bram Stoker, who is based on him, is a more recognizable image.

However, there are Celtic historians and folklorists who believe that the real prototype of Dracula actually comes from another legend.

In contrast to Romania, a fifth-century folklore that took place in Ireland, where the author was born, depicts an Irish warlord named Abu Hatak who ruled the people by intimidation and bloodletting.

He was killed by disgruntled subjects, buried standing according to the funeral standards of a Celtic chieftain at the time, and eventually resurrected as a vampire, until he was once again nailed into the heart with a purple sword and buried upside down, where his grave still remains in County Derry, Ireland.

"Am I right? The true source of the image of Count Dracula, the earliest vampire in the Celtic worldview? ”

"These texts that have been handed down are basically the result of the distortion of the memories of mortals after witnessing something beyond comprehension."

Abu Hatak waved his hand disdainfully, "It's like I'm just short and recorded as the king of the dwarven kingdom by some legends, it's really terrible!" ”

He continued: "Dracula is just a fictional figure, Vlad III was originally a vampire of my kind, who inherited the dragon's blood of his father, Vlad II. ”

"Dragon's blood, you say?"

Li Wu noticed the words in his mouth.

"That's right." The dwarf vampire did have a posture of knowing everything at the moment, "You've heard rumors of some treasure on this island, right?" That's exactly what old Tsepeš entrusted me with. ”

"Since the Industrial Revolution, the forces that represent the daily life of human beings, which are now called worldviews, have become more and more numerous. My friends and I came to this island from our hometown. ”

He stomped his foot, and a rectangular coffin with intricate patterns rose upright from the ground, the lid of which opened automatically, revealing the soil inside.

"Take my home and my homeland."

The rectangular "boat" that Zashiki boy spoke of originally referred to his coffin.

"Our relocation makes sense for the island, especially when it's located on the largest outlying island in the western part of the country."

Abkhatak paced in place as if reveling in his own story, "It is also the largest island in the western part of the mainland, and inhabited by leprechauns, giants, werewolves, and me, the most ancient of all, and it will establish a certain connection with my homeland in a ceremonial way. ”

Similar geographic locations can also be mapped.

The idolatry theories that Hoshikawa Aoi had spoken about in the aquarium flashed through his mind.

"On this basis, I heard the prophecy that announced that you and your father would awaken the power of the ancestors, and I originally wanted to capture you for experimentation, but it seems to have failed."

"You sent the werewolves of Ossori?"

Li Wu interrupted him.

"Ah, that's right, but the purpose of my later dispatch is only to invite the little girl from the Cepes family."

No wonder it has been downgraded from a bomb attack to a family-like style.

"But what does this have to do with my dad?"

Arisa couldn't help but ask.

"Use your brain, little girl, of course it was during this time that I got in touch with old Tsepes. He dreamed of restoring his former glory or something, and I promised him to help and observe from the sidelines. ”

The vampire curled his index finger and tapped on the door of his head: "I brought a precious treasure from my hometown, it was once part of a powerful creature, you should have guessed what it was, Li Wu?" ”

The answer is imminent.

The treasure that can help the descendants of the Tepes, who have passed on the dragon's blood, awaken their powers, comes from the British Isles, one of the birthplaces of Celtic mythology.

As if to announce the answer, the island's stone towers spread from the bottom upwards in layers of cobweb-like cracks.

The stone tower trembled and collapsed as if some uncontained giant was about to break free from it, and even the strange space they were in seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure of something about to be born, and became chaotic like an overturned paint tray, and finally there was a sound like glass shattering.

The feeling of passing through the Blue Hole came back to them, and by the time the spatial changes returned to normal again, they were already standing on a beach on Longdu Island.

"Damn, I didn't expect that."

Abkhatak groaned.

It was afternoon when Li Wu and Hoshikawa Aoi jumped into the blue hole, and now the moon was already hanging in the sky.

It was the last night of Inawa High School's school trip.

The fireworks display has not been suspended due to the absence of several students, and a bunch of fireworks has already exploded in the sky.

It illuminates the posture of the giant beast flying in the sky.

【Vampire Father: White Dragon】

The dragon covered in white scales stretched out its wings as if it could cover the sky and the sun, resurrecting from the past.
