Ethan insisted on going to see Serena, of course he had his own reasons: he wanted to judge whether this Serena was the one he knew.

It’s not just about judging whether this is Serena, the vampire in the Legend of the Night, but the key is whether it is the one on his ship.

If it wasn't better, it proved that this Tower of Babel was just a trial for him personally.

If it is the situation you know, it will be more troublesome. It means that not only are you "trapped" here, but even your companions on the boat, or those who have relationships with you, may be involved.

Now he was eager to reach Transylvania, but unfortunately he became an ordinary person and could not fly or teleport. He could only rely on his legs to rush on his way. Fortunately, Van Helsing did not rely on his horse to throw him away, so he also had a guide to guide the way, so he would not even be able to find a place.

Until sunset, Van Helsing stopped rushing and decided to camp here for a break.

Remove some hard bread and jerky from the package and bake it on fire for supper.

Ethan also brought a small amount of jerky, all of which were dry food brought by the "Up of the World". The bonfire raised by Van Helsing also heated up briefly. Two men sat next to the bonfire and ate this not-so-delicious supper quietly.

After gnawing the jerky in his hand, Van Helsing asked Ethan why he was going to Transylvania.

“Didn’t I say it?”

"You really know Serena?"

Ethan's clothes were a little damaged, and he looked a little "out of the past", but from the details, it can still be seen that Ethan was born in a family with a wealthy life. Although her clothes were torn and old, it could be seen that they were made of good materials. They were not affordable for ordinary people. If they were picked up, the first reaction of ordinary people was to sell them for money.

So it seems that Ethan said that he knew Earl Serena.

"I don't know if this is Serena I know..."

Ethan means that he is not sure that Serena is the familiar Serena, while Van Helsing understood it as another meaning: "After receiving the information about Serena, the Holy See commissioned me to check the situation... I have read the information collected by the Holy See, and Earl Serena may have fallen... The person who fell completely became a completely unfamiliar existence, so you better not have any expectations."

“…”

Ethan smiled bitterly, Van Helsing misunderstood his words. He could not explain this matter yet, so he could only nod helplessly to deal with it.

After eating, Van Helsing asked Ethan to rest first and guard the night himself.

However, after Ethan got up in the middle of the night, Van Helsing did not go to rest, but sat by the fire to rest alone. Van Helsing always kept his vigilance enough. With Ethan who didn't know the true background, he could not rest with confidence.

Ethan didn't really have a rest either. He seemed to have had a sleep, but in fact he just rested with his eyes closed. He didn't dare to let himself fall asleep.

Van Helsing is not a villain from the evil camp. As a vampire hunter, he can be said to be a member of the Justice camp. However, after all, the two sides just met and were still strangers who were unfamiliar with each other. Who knows if Van Helsing thinks he is too suspicious and suddenly attacks him?

Killing him shouldn't be enough, but it's enough to tie him up while he's asleep.

Now sit up, although Van Helsing did not let him watch the night, Ethan did not lie back, but sat next to the campfire like Van Helsing, quietly waiting for dawn.

When the sun rose and the sky became brighter, the two of them started to set off again.

This time, Van Helsing did not ride a horse, but led the horse forward. The two still rarely talked along the way, and this situation continued until they arrived in Transylvania a few days later.

"At this time, Transylvania is here..."

This place is better than a village, a place where civilians live in this area; while the ruler of Earl Serena lives in a castle not far away.

Ethan looked at this simple and dirty village, but he was thinking about the plot of Van Helsing.

He knew that what he encountered this time could not be completely rigidly applied to the "original" plot. The appearance of Count Serena means that the plot had long been chaotic, but he would still be curious whether there would be a woman named Anna living in the village and then develop a favor with Van Helsing.

After entering this town, Ethan quickly confirmed that there was no woman in the original plot here.

After a round trip, Ethan found Van Helsing at the entrance of the town again.

"It's good that you're out, so I don't have to go into town to look for you anymore."

“There is a problem here?”

"Didn't you notice it?"

The whole town was filled with a very strange low pressure, and with dark clouds, even though it was almost noon, it was supposed to be the brightest time of the day, but the area was dark.

In addition, although the residents here still retain their normal routine, their expressions and emotions are very wrong. If no one talks to them, these people will not take the initiative to communicate with others, but are just mechanically doing the work they do every day.

"It's so weird here, and staying in town is not a good choice."

Van Helsing has hung all kinds of weapons on his body. One of the important functions of his heavy leather coat is to carry various weapons.

"So I think it's better for you to leave as soon as possible."

"It's too late to leave now."

Ethan looked at it, and finally stayed at the long sword hanging on the horse's back, then threw the wooden stick that had been with him for a long time aside, took the long sword up, and then hung it on his waist without hesitation.

“…”

Van Helsing looked at Ethan's actions and did not express dissatisfaction or anything else. Instead, he asked Ethan: "Besides the strange atmosphere, have you noticed anything else?"

“There is not a single young girl in the town.”

Van Helsing nodded: "This matches the information I've seen, which means we are about to face a terrifying monster who has fallen into the darkness."

"You don't have to emphasize this point again and again."

"I just want to be sure, you really won't leave?"

"I said, it's too late now." Ethan turned his head and pointed at a shop not far away: "Did you notice that there are fewer people there?"

Van Helsing glanced at that direction, of course he noticed this, but Ethan could also notice it, once again proving that Ethan was not an ordinary person at all.

But now he has no time to worry about this matter. Van Helsing accepted the commission from the Holy See to investigate the situation. Now it is basically confirmed that the information received by the Holy See is basically true. In this case, all he has to do is to explore the strength of the countess.

If he was not very strong, he would get rid of the fallen countess and add another point to his reputation.

If he is very strong... it depends on whether he can survive. If he can survive, explain the situation to the Holy See. What will happen to the Holy See? What else does the Holy See handle the Holy See? If he can't survive... what else can I say?

"What are you going to do?"

Ethan pulled out the sword and waved it a few times.

With just these simple moves, Van Helsing could see that Ethan had a good swordsmanship: he was testing the weight, center of gravity, etc. of the swordsman, only swordsman who reached a certain level would pay attention to these details.

"The master knows that we are here, and if we don't come to visit us, we will be too rude."

"It's very good...but what you mean is like a blatant past?"

Although Van Helsing is from the "Justice Camp", he did not pay so much attention to the vampires. He originally planned to sneak into the Earl's castle and wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Earl's Count.

"certainly."

The town is not close to the Earl's Castle, but it is not far away. Anyway, you can see the Earl's Castle in the distance by standing at the exit on the other side.

With just a little distance, the two of them were delaying a short time in the town. The person who reported the news was enough to tell the countess all the information about the two, and believed that the countess was ready.

So sneak attacks are impossible, and the two of them even had to be wary of the Countess sending people to raid them.

"Here you came here smoothly?"

Van Helsing was ready to fight all the way, but the road to the castle was completely unobstructed, so he came outside the castle very simply.

What surprised him even more was that the Countess Serena actually sent someone to greet them at the door. This person was the one who had opened a shop at the entrance of the town, the one who was found missing by Ethan. After reporting the message to the Countess, the Countess was deliberately provoking the two of them.

Van Helsing and Ethan both looked at the man a few times and found that his eyes were dull and his expression was sluggish, and it was obvious that he was being controlled.

Ethan guessed what method Serena used, while Van Helsing was observing the man's neck.

There are no signs of being bitten, aren't they vampire?

Following the walking zombie man, Van Helsing and Ethan's hands were always on the weapon, but the road was still calm. The two of them walked smoothly into the castle and were taken to a huge wooden door.

When the two of them came to this corridor, the strong smell of blood continued to stimulate their sense of smell. Van Helsing's brows frowned from that moment: Even as a vampire hunter, he had never encountered such a strong smell of blood, and this situation was abnormal.

And Ethan, who was "informed" immediately judged that this was a very large amount of blood exposed to the air.

The man who was leading the way pushed open the door in front of him and walked into the room. Both of them were stunned by the scene in front of him, and Ethan made a judgment immediately.
