The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

Chapter 170 The Crazy Castle

When it comes to Romania, many people will think of the famous Count Dracula. This image comes from "Dracula" published by Irish writer Bram Stoker in 1897, and the prototype is the "Count Dracula" of the Principality of Wallachia. The Impaler" Vlad III.

The place where the Polish writer disappeared was not Vlad III's castle, but a medieval military fortress that was more remote than that place. Compared with the well-maintained Dracula's Castle, there were only ruins left. The road into the mountain is difficult and requires the guidance of local villagers.

Andre felt that the village at the foot of the mountain was a bit weird, and the villagers were more or less stupid, as if they were uncivilized. The guides and translators sent by the Romanian government told the elites of the Ministry of People's Federation that the abandoned castle they were going to was rarely visited before the 20th century, and the local villagers refused to visit outsiders.

But now the world is full of travelers looking for secrets, and there are tourists in the closed mountain villages. The missing Pole is said to have gone to the castle alone. The official search and rescue team did not find any clues in the mountains. The villagers said that this person may have been taken away by a vampire.

Andre was dissatisfied and afraid of receiving such a bad job. He couldn't go home on Christmas and had to go to the mountains to find the missing tourists. He felt that this should have been a very simple case of disappearance. It was nothing more than hearing rumors of vampires from country bumpkins, so he had to send him, a demon hunter.

In addition to the special operations team sent by the People's Federation, there are also a few tourists who are planning to spend the winter here.

Andre knew one of the chatty Englishmen, a little man with spectacles who called himself Elder Walpole. There is also a friend who is inseparable from him, named Xue Ni, a man with abnormally pale skin and heavy dark circles under his eyes.

Hearing that they were going into the mountains to find the missing Polish writer, Elder volunteered to lead the way for the members of the Human Federation.

"I'm still friends with Andrzej Sapkowski (Missing Person). We're both writers."

Andre was distraught, and the loss of a writer was already a headache, and it would be a real headache if something happened to the carefree Mr. Walpole. What's more, Andre himself didn't want to enter the castle, so how could he bring others with him?

Elder smiled, he was not surprised by Andre's rejection, he said: "Hey, Andre, you are a witcher, you must know a lot of things, right? Can you tell me which opponents you usually deal with? ?"

Andre casually made up nonsense such as water ghosts, swamp spirits, and daytime demons. Many of them are variants of folklore in Central and Eastern Europe.

"Hey, what you said, the missing Pole also said."

"Really? Maybe he's also a witcher." Andre became interested. As a fan of fantasy stories, he still has great respect for this type of writer.

Then they had a big chat. This Mr. Walpole was very eloquent, he could tell stories from all over the world, and revealed many details of the magical world from his mouth, which made Andre fascinated.

In the end, André was somehow persuaded, against objections, to take Elder and his companion Senni, who knew the mountain roads well, as guides for the native villagers.

Taking advantage of the time when the snow stopped, the group arrived at the ancient castle in the mountains before dark.

The thick and tall gates of the castle are closed. Interestingly speaking, the stone walls of the entire fortress are ragged, but the wooden doors still look decent.

The door was locked from the inside, and I don't know how the missing Pole got in, but his belongings were still scattered outside the castle.

The members of the special operations team were all smart and capable soldiers. They easily climbed over the wall and entered the castle with the help of a hook cable, and opened a crack in the door, enough for people to pass through.

At this time, Elder suddenly said: "Andre, listen to me, can you stay here next?"

"Why?"

The sickly Xue Ni said, "Muggles are not allowed to enter here."

Andre was very curious, "Why? And you said Muggles, could this castle be the residence of wizards?"

Elder's face was serious, "No, it's not wizards who live here, but a clan of vampires. Every fifty years, they will gather here. The residents of the village at the foot of the mountain are either servants of vampires, or vampires in disguise."

"Then what would they do if we broke in?"

"Of course I treat you as a sumptuous dinner."

Andre was terrified by what this new friend said. He was a fake master, and he immediately showed timidity, "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier! The information is wrong. It seems that this mission can't be done." Proceed, I plan to contact the headquarters first and wait for the next instruction."

The commander of the special operations team obviously did not intend to follow Andre's decision. He ordered the soldiers to tie up Elder and Bloody with ropes, and then forcibly led the demon hunter into the castle.

This fortress is the same as Dracula's Fortress, because it is built on a narrow hilltop, so it is small in scale, and it takes less than an hour to go through it completely. There are not many rooms, and dust is everywhere.

They searched according to the tactic of rescuing the hostages, not to mention finding a vampire, not even a mouse.

Andre was disappointed and dissatisfied with Elder's lie.

The british man in glasses didn't make excuses, but stared at his companion. Xue Ni looked up at the sky. Today is the second day of the lunar calendar, there is no moon, and the sun is about to set. Crow-black clouds are piled up in the middle of the sky, and the edge is dyed by the setting sun. bloody.

In the courtyard of the castle is an ancient well that leads to a cistern. After the sun had completely set, a cold light shot out from the mouth of the well, and then a large number of bats flew out of it.

They circled above the castle, making unsettling calls like a drumming cloud.

The vampires appeared, dropped from the swarm of bats, and came into the courtyard.

Andre regretted it very much, and the vampires surrounded these Muggles. The soldiers raised their guns and tried to fight back, but they were all pierced through their lower bodies by the long and narrow ice cones protruding from the snow on the ground. The pain made these battle-tested war machines howl, and they couldn't die for a while.

"Bloody hell!" The group of vampires seemed to know Elder's friends, "I haven't seen you for fifty years, how are you doing?"

These people greet each other warmly and politely. If it weren't for the screams of a group of poor people who were pierced, the scene would be as normal as a meeting of distant relatives.

Andre got away with not being hostile, but things were still bad.

Elder asked, "Guys, do you remember me?"

"You're a student of Elder Slughorn, well, you're quite famous among us."

"Look, you have harvested so much food, can you let some of them go? My friend doesn't want to die here yet."

"What if I say no?"

Elder somehow broke free from the rope, and he had a stick in his hand. Andre's eyes widened, this man is a wizard!

"Listen, the Statute of Secrecy is dead, if you don't want to be mobbed by Muggles. Hey, my friend is a professional witcher, and he knows how to deal with you. Don't make him angry, and now, He was actually very angry."

Andre was in a panic, but he still put on a vicious look, probably like the fat boy Cong who pretended to be an ax to help his elder brother in the pig cage walled city.

"Witcher? It's these bastards who smoked our noses with garlic!" The vampires looked unhappy.

"WTF!" Andre went numb, "Actually, I'm pretending, do you believe it?"

Then they were besieged.

"Run, run, run!" Elder was very loyal, and asked Xue Ni to take Andre, and the three of them rushed out of the castle.

They panicked on the hillside and were chased by bats to the edge of the cliff. Suddenly, they saw a cozy tavern standing in the snow for some reason, and there were bursts of melodious music coming from it.

"Do you want to go in and hide?" Andre was out of breath.

Elder saw something strange in the tavern, "Come on, let's go in."
