As soon as this thought came into mind, it began to spread wildly in Legolas' mind.
The original idea of retreating first gradually disappeared...
After a little hesitation, Legolas's face hardened and he decided to stay here and participate in the plot.
Anna, sitting across the table, quietly studied Legolas's expression.
Seeing his expression change, I thought he was like those lone bounty hunters who didn't care about nobles.
Anna coughed lightly and said with a self-deprecating smile, "He is called a lord, but he is actually the mayor of a small border town. The once famous Villeris family has long been ruined, and only my brother and I are left..."
“Anna!”
Viken frowned and called out softly, seeming a little embarrassed by her initiative to expose his secrets.
Legolas came back to his senses, looked at the two and said softly, "Don't belittle yourselves. I have also heard of the great name of the Valerius family. Although I dare not agree with the oaths and deeds of your ancestors, I also admire them very much..."
Hearing Legolas' compliment, Viken showed a proud smile on his face.
In the world of Van Helsing, Count Dracula is not the infatuated tragic character in the origin story, but a true evil villain who has been trying every means to make his offspring with his three vampire brides come to life so that he can command an army of millions of vampires to sweep the world.
In order to destroy Dracula, a Transphenician knight named Valerius promised God that as long as Dracula was not destroyed, the souls of their family would never rest in peace and would never ascend to heaven.
For a devout Christian, there is no oath more serious than this.
Since then, the Villeris family has been staying in this ancient border town that has suffered from the ravages of Count Dracula. As the family guarding this territory, they have been hunting down vampires and have taken it as their mission to kill Count Dracula from generation to generation.
But unfortunately, vows are just vows after all, and this world still has to be ruled by strength.
Facing the powerful vampire Count Dracula, the Villeris family was aware of the situation but was powerless.
More than four hundred and fifty years have passed, and the Villeris family not only failed to eliminate Dracula, but was instead made miserable by the vampire, and their population has shrunk to the point where only Viken and Anna are left today.
If Legolas had not helped today, one of the remaining two Valerius might have died.
Because of this, both Viken and Anna were very grateful to Legolas.
Viken smiled and said, "Mr. Legolas, you saved Anna and me from the werewolf today, so you are the most distinguished guest of Transphenia. Although the Valerius family has fallen, they still remember the etiquette of the nobility and the oath of the knight. Please stay in Transphenia for a few days so that we brothers and sisters can show our hospitality and repay your life-saving grace..."
Anna nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, just live in this castle, you can choose any room, it doesn't matter if you choose mine!"
Viken frowned and glared at his sister helplessly, then looked at Legolas apologetically, as if he was sorry for his sister's rudeness.
However, Legolas had long been accustomed to this, and immediately said calmly: "Since Prince Viken has invited me so kindly, I will shamelessly stay..."
A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Although the Villeris family has declined, it still has a vast fiefdom and is known as the King of Gypsies.
In a way, Viken and Anna are a real prince and princess.
"As it should be!" Viken nodded with a smile, and then asked curiously, "Mr. Legolas, although this question is a bit presumptuous, I still want to know why you came to Dransfenia?"
As we all know, Transylvania is a town that has been plagued by vampires for many years.
Ordinary people would avoid it as much as possible, but Legolas did the opposite.
Legolas glanced at Viken and said softly, "As I said just now, I am a lone bounty hunter. I came to Dransfenia to hunt down a wanted criminal..."
Viken asked curiously, "What wanted criminal?"
Legolas said slowly: "Van Helsing... have you heard of him?"
Van Helsing?!
Viken and Anna looked at each other in surprise, then nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of it."
Legolas said calmly, "From what I have heard, he is heading in the direction of Dransphenia."
"Oh?" Viken raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "How long ago was this information obtained?"
How do I know...
Legolas twitched his lips. He just made it up casually and was not clear about the current timeline of this world.
Hearing Viken's question, Legolas hesitated, then fell silent and did not answer.
Seeing this, Viken thought Legolas didn't want to reveal the source of the information, so he smiled and said, "Well, I am being presumptuous... How about this, you stay in the Castle of Villeris first, and I will keep an eye on Van Helsing's whereabouts for you. Once I find him, I will send someone to inform you immediately, how about that?"
Legolas nodded: "Then thank you both for your help!"
…
…
The next morning, Transylvania was covered with dark clouds as usual, and there was no clear sky.
Poor mountains and bad waters often produce unruly people, and in poor mountains and bad waters that have been neighbors with vampires for generations, they produce not just unruly people, it can be said to be a mob.
The snow-covered town is filled with wooden houses with white roofs and muddy fields left by melted snow.
Heads crowded on the road. Almost all the young and middle-aged townspeople appeared here, holding sickles, axes and hoes, staring at the two uninvited guests with indifference and hostility.
"…Do you always encounter situations like this?"
the hooded man asked quietly beside Van Helsing.
"That's about right."
Van Helsing responded calmly, his eyes swept over the crowd of townspeople in front of him, his right hand gently resting on the gun handle at his waist.
At this moment, a pale man walked out from the crowd. He was wearing a black windbreaker and a black tall hat. He was tall and had a gloomy face. His eyes swept over Van Helsing and the hooded man behind him like a cunning fox.
"Welcome to Transphenia!"
A sinister voice came, and the man in the black windbreaker narrowed his eyes and slowly approached, holding a wooden ruler in his hand and chuckled, saying: "Outsiders, raise your heads and show me your faces."
Van Helsing frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Because we don't trust strangers." The man in the black windbreaker measured the height of the hooded man with a wooden ruler and said calmly, "According to the laws made by Prince Viken and Princess Anna, now, disarm yourselves..."
"Oh?" Van Helsing narrowed his eyes and scanned the crowd in front of him coldly. "What if I say no?"
The man in the black windbreaker paused and said in a cold tone, "Then I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here for long!"
The hooded man shuddered when he heard the sinister words, and quickly dodged the wooden ruler in the black windbreaker's hand and hid behind Van Helsing.
Seeing this, the man in the black windbreaker sneered and waved his hand, saying, "Kill them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the townspeople holding sickles, axes and hoes gathered around him, with murderous gleams in their eyes.
"Bang!"
Before the rioting townspeople could rush forward, two gunshots that rang out almost simultaneously stopped their actions.
The townspeople held up all kinds of weapons in their hands, standing there like statues, their eyes wide open, staring at Van Helsing, who was holding a large-caliber silver revolver in each hand.
There was smoke filling the muzzle of the gun, emitting a pungent smell that made people feel scared.
"thump!"
There was a muffled sound, and the townspeople quickly turned their heads to look, and were immediately horrified to find that the man in the black windbreaker who had just spoken had his head and heart shattered by bullets.
The headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud, and blood gushed out from the broken neck and the huge bloody hole in the chest, mixing with the snow water in the muddy ground to form a pool of gray and red blood.
Seeing this, the hooded man hiding behind Van Helsing swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but whispered: "Van Helsing, you shouldn't have killed him..."
"If I don't kill him, he will kill me!"
Van Helsing sneered, then tightened his grip on the silver revolver in his hand, looked around at the townspeople, and said coldly: "If anyone else wants to kill me, just come out and try!"
As soon as the words fell, the townspeople who had gathered together stepped back, looking at Van Helsing with vigilance and fear.
Just then, a cold voice came from behind the townspeople.
"Are you Van Helsing?"
As soon as the words fell, the townspeople gathered around immediately made way for a path, revealing three figures at the end of the path.
Van Helsing turned his head, raised his eyebrows, lifted the brim of his hat with the cooled barrel of the gun in his hand, and said calmly: "Yes, I am Van Helsing!"
...That's not right!
Looking at the burly man in black clothes and a black hat, holding two large-caliber revolvers, Legolas's expression gradually became strange.
If he remembered correctly, Van Helsing in the movie would not shoot ordinary people casually, right?
At least it won't be like it is now, where people pull out guns and shoot at the slightest disagreement.
At least you have to fire two empty shots first to show deterrence, right?
Could it be that... Van Helsing is a time traveler? !
Legolas' eyes lit up and he immediately walked towards Van Helsing.
Anna and Viken followed closely behind, and the three of them walked through the path made clear by the townspeople and came in front of Van Helsing.
Looking at Legolas, the tall and handsome man in front of him with strange eyes, constantly looking at and examining him, Van Helsing could not help but frown.
Just as he was about to speak, Legolas in front of him suddenly asked, "Do you know what happened in 1991?"
Van Helsing was puzzled and could not help frowning. He said in a cold voice, "How should I know what happened in 1991? If you want to know the future, why not find a gypsy witch? Coincidentally, there is a gypsy princess behind you. Why don't you try her?"
