“…”
Looking at Van Helsing, whose expression was serious and not fake, Legolas's expression became even weirder.
This guy is obviously not a time traveler, but his words and actions are all in the style of a pure time traveler.
why is that?
Legolas found this very strange.
Van Helsing seemed not to notice Legolas's look, but only persuaded him enthusiastically: "With your skills, why do you want to be a bounty hunter? Come with me to be an exorcist. I can recommend you to the church and even introduce you to the Knights of the Holy Order."
"Oh, by the way, you may not have heard of the Holy Order Knights. It is a mysterious department of the church that specializes in hiding in the dark, hunting down - no, purifying dark creatures like vampires..."
Van Helsing enthusiastically promoted Legolas, and seemed to really want to bring him into the Knights of the Holy Order to become an exorcist.
Legolas' cheek muscles twitched slightly. He listened to Van Helsing's introduction in silence. Suddenly, he pushed it away, drew his bow, condensed an ice-blue arrow, and shot it into the sky behind Van Helsing.
"call out--"
Arrows broke through the air, and two vampire brides broke out of the ice, flapping their pale wings to avoid the attack of the ice arrows. Then they looked at the charred human-shaped marks at the feet of the crowd with sad and sorrowful expressions.
"Winona!!"
The sad roars from the vampire bride echoed over the town.
Legolas was slightly startled, then he remembered that the three vampire brides all had names, namely Winona, Ariella and Marika.
The vampire bride who died at the hands of Legolas and Van Helsing was Winona.
Looking at the sad vampire bride in the sky, Van Helsing couldn't help but frown. He loaded the quiver of the crossbow and reached out to Carl.
“Holy water!”
"immediately!"
Carl quickly handed him the holy water.
Van Helsing took it and poured the holy water directly into the quiver, soaking every crossbow arrow.
"Unlike the heartless Count Dracula, the vampire bride has human-like emotions. We killed one vampire bride, and the remaining two will definitely avenge her, so be careful..."
Van Helsing packed his quiver and spoke seriously.
Viken next to him glanced at him and sneered, "The Villeris family has been hunting vampires for generations. Do they need you to introduce them?"
Anna couldn't help but add: "And shouldn't you be careful? You were the one who killed this vampire bride!"
"Hey, whether you kill them or I kill them, it's all the same." Van Helsing waved his hand and said indifferently, "When facing a powerful enemy, there is no need to distinguish so clearly!"
Anna: “…”
Van Helsing raised his crossbow, pointed it at the sky, and said solemnly, "If what happened just now was the easy mode, then this is the hard mode. You... uh, sorry, what was your name?"
"Legolas."
Legolas said calmly.
Van Helsing nodded and said solemnly: "Legolas, you better be careful!"
Hearing Van Helsing's earnest instructions, Legolas nodded slightly and glanced at him with a slightly complicated look.
Easy mode, hard mode...
Being able to say such words, Van Helsing is even more likely to be a time traveler.
But then again, this guy didn't react after hearing his name, and Van Helsing didn't respond to his previous attempts.
Could it be... that he has lost his memory?
The most likely guess emerged in Legolas' mind.
At this moment, Viken, who was looking at the sky vigilantly, exclaimed.
"Legolas, they're trying to run!"
"Huh?" Van Helsing frowned, "Why, don't they want to avenge Weiya?"
"It's Winona!" Anna retorted unhappily, and then suddenly seemed to understand something, exclaimed in surprise, "I know, they have to go back and report to Count Dracula!"
"Can you go back?"
Legolas sneered, and a golden-red arrow appeared in his hand with a flash of silver light.
Then, he placed the golden-red arrow on the bowstring, aimed at the two vampire brides in the sky, and whispered, "Van Helsing."
"Um?"
"You said only holy water can kill the vampire bride?"
"It's holy water and sunshine!"
Van Helsing emphasized seriously.
Legolas glanced at him and said softly, "Now, I will show you the third way."
"Oh?" Van Helsing's eyes lit up and he became interested. "What method?"
Legolas did not answer, but gently released the bowstring.
In an instant, a golden-red arrow shot out, emitting a red light in the air, and then suddenly exploded.
In less than half a second, the golden-red arrow, which was originally only as thick as a finger, suddenly grew into a thick beam of light with a diameter of more than five meters.
A golden-red beam of light pierced through the sky and caught up with the backs of the two vampire brides.
A rolling heat wave came from behind them. The two vampire brides turned around in horror, and then saw the golden-red light filling their vision.
“Ahhhh!!”
Painful roars came from the golden-red light column, echoing over the town.
The two vampire brides flying in the air were completely covered by the golden-red light column. The terrifying high temperature instantly ignited their pale bodies. The thinnest pale wings were first turned into ashes in the flames, followed by their limbs and torsos...
Soon, the two pale vampire brides turned into two twisted black shadows in the golden-red light.
As the black shadows gradually disappeared, the two vampire brides who claimed to be immortal also disappeared.
However, the golden-red light column continued to rush towards the sky with unabated force, piercing through the clouds in an instant, causing the dark clouds to retreat violently and forming a giant hole that expanded layer by layer in the shape of a ring.
The warm sunlight shone through the holes in the clouds, shining on the land of Transylvania for the first time in a long time.
Anna and Viken stared blankly at the sunlight shining from the sky, their two very similar eyes revealing an emotion called shock.
Van Helsing also opened his eyes wide, staring in amazement at the golden-red beam of light that disappeared into the horizon.
After a long while, Van Helsing suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed Legolas' arm, and said with a piercing look in his eyes, "What was that just now? Sell it to me, you must sell it to me, no matter how much it costs, I can pay you!"
"This thing can't be bought with money..."
Legolas broke free from Van Helsing's grasp and spoke in a calm tone.
This thermal energy arrow is a disposable item that contains a large amount of fire radiation energy, comparable to the power of a blow from a practitioner of radiation techniques. It is sold at the [Gallery of Rare Treasures] for as much as two hundred Gray Mist Coins.
Legolas also bought five of them at the price of 120 Gray Mist Coins each when the [Gallery of Rare Treasures] was having a discount promotion as a means of keeping some in his closet.
Normally he was reluctant to use it, but today he took it out to deal with these two vampire brides.
...It's good enough that I can show you its power. Do you still want to buy it?
Legolas glanced at Van Helsing, thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that it was not impossible.
As long as Van Helsing showed him his trumpet and offered the legendary angel power in exchange, there would be no harm in giving him one.
The only question is, if his guess is true, then is Van Helsing, the time traveler, still Gabriel?
While Legolas frowned in thought, the townspeople hiding in the buildings came out one after another, looking at the people in the center of the square with awe.
Anna frowned, grabbed Legolas' arm, and whispered, "Let's go back to the castle first. The townspeople of Transphenia have adapted to the survival rules of vampires. I'm afraid they will vent their anger on you because they are worried about Count Dracula's revenge..."
"laugh--"
Van Helsing sneered, glanced indifferently at the surrounding townspeople, and chuckled, "Do you think they have the courage?"
Anna shook her head and said, "No matter what, it's better to avoid them first - you guys won't attack these ordinary people, right?"
"I'm really not interested in taking action against them." Van Helsing nodded and carried the crossbow on his shoulder. "Then let's go to your castle."
Prince Viken glared at him and said, "Who invited you, wanted criminal!"
Legolas stopped Viken and said calmly, "Just let him go with me."
Viken asked in surprise, "You're not going to catch him?"
Legolas shook his head, looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and whispered, "I am more interested in Count Dracula than Van Helsing!"
He was just looking for an excuse to contact Van Helsing and had no intention of actually becoming his enemy.
After all, Van Helsing is just a vest and a trumpet, and his real trumpet is the archangel Gabriel from heaven!
That was not an opponent he could handle. He would have to at least ask Lao Bai or even Boss Lin to come...
Van Helsing laughed, patted Legolas on the shoulder and said, "I knew I was right. You are born to be an exorcist. How about coming back to the church with me? I will recommend you to join the Knights of the Holy Order."
Legolas: "..."
Is this ever going to end!
…
A moment later, in the castle of the Villeris family.
Van Helsing and Carl took off their cloaks and luggage, sat at the square dining table, holding a cup of hot tea, and looked at Legolas across from them with envy.
They were also drinking tea, and Legolas was surrounded by beautiful girls.
All the maids in the castle served him diligently. Occasionally, when there was some 'accidental' physical contact when serving tea, he would show joy on his face, take small steps back to the other maids, laughing and whispering with them.
Karl looked at her with envy and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "We are all outsiders, why are the treatments so different..."
"Because Mr. Legolas saved Prince Wicken and Princess Anna."
A maid passing by explained quietly, then paused and glanced at Van Helsing Karl with a meaningful look.
"And he just seems like a nice guy!"
Carl: “…”
Van Helsing: "..."
What I mean is that we two don’t look like good people!
