This pot, I won't take responsibility for.
Fan Haixin flicked his mouth and turned his head to ask Zheng Zha: "Edward, aren't you saying that you used to live in Romania? Is there anyone you know here?"
"Oh, well... That was a long time ago. The people I knew are all dead by now, and I'm afraid I can't be of much help."
Zheng Zha awkwardly smiled and managed to wrap up the lie in the end.
"So it is..."
Fan Haixin showed an understanding expression. He was pondering how to explain their purpose to the townsfolk when Zhan Lán, standing beside Wu Xian, stepped a few steps forward. With a smile, an invisible spiritual energy wave spread out, quickly sweeping past the townsfolk surrounding them.
A moment later, the townsfolk who had previously shown faces of indifference all showed a slight daze in their expressions.
After regaining their composure, they looked at Fan Haixin and the members of the Central Region team with warmth and hospitality, as if seeing family members who had been on a long journey. Some even warmly greeted them.
An eerie scene made Fan Haixin feel a chill run down his spine, and his gaze towards Zhan Lán was also suspicious. He thought to himself, "Could this woman have used the same trick on me as well?"
"The lord of this place is not here."
Zhan Lán retracted her ability of mental communication and looked at Wu Xian, saying: "I... Anna princess and her brother Prince Will, are trying to capture the werewolf. I have already known their approximate location. Should we go and have a look?"
Upon hearing this, everyone on the Central Region team realized that this was a plot from the movie.
If they went to help now, maybe they could avoid Prince Will from being infected by the werewolf virus, which would at least be worth a C-level side quest.
"Of course, we should go and help!"
Fan Haixin's eyes lit up. On the way, Edward (Zheng Zha) had already informed him of Dracula's weakness, which was his fear of the werewolf virus. Once bitten in a vital spot and infected with its poison, he would die immediately.
Of course, this is the setting of the movie. Considering that the Main God frequently modifies settings, the members of the Central Region team do not have high hopes for Dracula's weakness. They can only say that they will try first and then see if it works. If not, they will try something else.
As for how to kill Dracula, Wu Xian was not worried at all. After all, humans die when they are killed, and so do gods. Vampires are no exception.
If they can't kill him, it just means that their strength isn't enough. There are no other reasons.
……
Several kilometers away, in a forest covered with snow, a thick round log stood in the earth, and above it was tied a rather handsome curly-haired youth.
Only to see him raise his hands, bound in reverse to the round log, as if he had been kidnapped.
But if carefully observed, it would be discovered that the rope binding his wrists was quite loose, far from a tight knot. It could easily be loosened with just a slight movement, clearly an act of pretense rather than genuine constraint. It was as if he was fishing in disguise.
The youth's name is Willen, the first in line for inheritance of this territory, the only son of the current generation of the Vilersis family, and is also known as Prince Willen. He has a sister named Anna, who is the female protagonist in the movie "Dracula".
As we mentioned earlier, it is necessary to introduce the background setting of the lord of this place, which is the family of the female protagonist.
The story began 450 years ago. In Transylvania, there was a knight named Vilersis who swore to God that he would destroy the vampire king Dracula. If he failed, his family would never enter heaven, and their souls would not rest in peace.
Without a doubt, he failed. Four hundred and more years have passed, and Dracula is still alive and well, thriving as ever, while their family is on the brink of extinction.
In the beginning of the movie "Dracula", the descendant of that knight, who is now the Gypsy King Boris Vilersis, mysteriously disappeared. It's highly likely that most of them have gone missing.
Therefore, the entire Vilersis family is left with only Prince Willen and his sister Princess Anna.
Before they can destroy Dracula, if either of these two are killed, then including them, all the previous nine ancestors will also be unable to enter paradise and gain redemption.
Therefore, for their own safety or to let their ancestors rest in peace, this brother and sister don't want to wait around for death. They have determined to destroy Dracula, even if they still die after that, they will try every way possible to make the other side bleed.
For example now, besides Prince Willen acting as a bait, his sister Princess Anna and several servants are hiding in the tall grass, ready to spring traps at any moment. Their aim is to capture and kill Dracula's minion, a werewolf.
"Woof————"
At that moment, in the snow-covered forest, a distant and faint wolf howl echoed out. Willen instinctively tensed up his entire body, trying to alleviate his stress with self-talk.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow burst out of the dense forest with a roar, directly pouncing in front of Willen.
Seeing the black shadow approaching, Willen's mind went blank, but his body instinctively moved, as if it had practiced countless times. He grabbed the rope tightly and leaped onto the round log, narrowly avoiding the sudden attack.
His eyes focused on the true appearance of the black shadow, clearly reflected in his pupils, and it was revealed to be a grey werewolf with a height exceeding two meters.
"Hroarrrr————！！！"
Realizing he had been tricked, the werewolf immediately became enraged. It was about to leap up and grab Willen, but saw him jumping onto the log and catching hold of the rope hanging down.
At the same time, people in the grass began turning the pulley to lift Willen high up in the air, allowing him to once again evade the werewolf's claws. As long as no further mishaps occur, they can use the traps to capture the werewolf and then surround and attack it to kill it.
But as expected, an unexpected event occurred!
As things were developing according to the plan, the pulley controlling Willken's lifting suddenly jammed, leaving him dangling in the air and far from a safe distance.
Just as everyone was panicking, the werewolf roared and climbed onto the log, its massive body jumping up and down with each swipe of its claws drawing closer and closer to Willken. Scared to death, he shrieked in terror and shouted repeatedly "Pull me up!"
"Willen!!"
As she saw her brother's life hanging in the balance, Princess Anna, who had been hiding among the grasses, didn't hesitate and pushed aside the obstacles blocking her. She drew out the ancestral knight's sword and charged towards the werewolf.
Perhaps because both siblings were targets for the hunt, upon seeing Anna, the werewolf immediately abandoned Willen who was in full evasion mode, roared and jumped off the log. Then it charged towards… and fell into the pit.
Seeing this, the servants who had been waiting eagerly immediately cut the ropes of the trap. The next second, a huge iron cage rose from the deep pit, and the foolhardy werewolf was caught inside it.
Soon, more people ran out from the grasses, each one holding a gun and shooting towards the werewolf. They hit him with bullets, making him covered in blood and roaring loudly, but he still didn't die!
Indeed, although it was known in advance that only silver weapons could cause damage to werewolves, during the execution of the plan, only Willen's gun had silver bullets in it, highlighting a plot requirement.
However, an unexpected event occurred once again. When Willen reached for his handgun, it was accidentally knocked out of his hand by the rising cage, and as a result, it landed on the ground. Apart from Anna, everyone else seemed to have gone blind and subconsciously ignored it.
In this way, a bunch of big men shot guns for half a day, but the werewolf was unaffected. Anna was in a hurry and was about to go and pick up the revolver with silver bullets.
Just as she was about to reach out, a master of outline artistry happened to break the hanging rope in mid-air, causing the large iron cage to plummet from above.
Anna's mind was cursing, she rolled dangerously to avoid the falling cage, but the iron cage was also shattered into a broken fracture, allowing the werewolf to break free.
Looking at the pretty lady……no, it's the target for hunting! The cruel wolf face, a lascivious smile appeared.
Anna: (...)
Bang————！！！
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, a spray of blood erupted from the werewolf's shoulder, almost breaking his entire shoulder. The whole wolf then fell backward and rolled twice before finally whimpering to a halt.
The werewolves in this world possess powerful healing abilities, so long as they are not injured by silver weapons, they can recover to their original state within a short period of time.
The sharp pain aroused the werewolf's beastly instincts. It roared and looked towards the source of the gunshot, wanting to see who had dared to ambush it.
However, just as he lifted his head, a fist the size of a sandbag seemed to infinitely expand in his field of vision, and then...
Bang————！！！
