Vol 2 Chapter 359: Visit Brown Castle

　　Brown Castle (Dracula’s Castle) can be said to be the most famous attraction in Transylvania and even the whole of Romania.
　　
　　 Because of some literary works and film and television works, coupled with the local vampire legends that have been circulated for hundreds of years; this seemingly mysterious castle is very popular with foreign tourists and can provide a large amount of fiscal revenue to the local government every year...
　　
　　 So it is very common that two foreign tourists suddenly appear near the castle.
　　
　　 In order to prevent being too conspicuous, Jon specially made Sandro a black robes of West Asia to wrap him up and down; this way, although it was a bit strange, his rough appearance would not attract people's attention.
　　
　　Sandrew was quite dissatisfied with this outfit, but he was helpless.
　　
"That Muggle Pistor...Do you really rest assured that he will leave alone!" Sandreu, who was under the black gauze, lowered his head and asked softly, "In case he tells us our news... …"
　　
　　 "No." Jon shook his head confidently: "We are his only hope for revenge, and he will definitely not betray us."
　　
　　Sandrew curled his lips and said nothing more.
　　
　　 Taking advantage of this effort, Jon has bought two tickets to enter Brown Castle.
　　
　　……
　　
　　 Through the communication with the mayor of Pistor, Jon can be sure that there have been almost no records of vampires in Transylvania in the past 50 years.
　　
　　 After all, the media has become more developed since the 1940s and 1950s. There must be a large number of vampire attacks, causing a large number of casualties, and it is definitely impossible to hide it.
　　
　　 And those who have actually experienced attacks by vampires are old people...Although they really believe in the existence of vampires, everyone thinks that the stories of the old people are made up to coax children, or "legends" that have been passed on.
　　
　　 However, many of the core stories of the "legends" were finally focused on Brown Castle, which is also Dracula's Castle...Jon pondered over and over again, and decided to come and investigate. Maybe he could find any clues?
　　
　　 The number of tourists at Brown Castle is more than Jon imagined; he found a tour guide, followed a group of tourists patiently, listening to her explanation
　　
"Many legendary monsters are actually related to common local beasts... For example, in Transylvania, there were a large number of wolves and bats living in the 19th century and before. The locals feared them, so they were used in legends. Anthropomorphic, rumored to be vampires and werewolves and other monsters.
The local guide in Transylvania was introducing in stuttering English:
　　
"This kind of anthropomorphic monster exists all over the world... For example, the tiger man in Indian legend, the leopard man in Peru, and the human face lion in Egyptian legend... They are all related to the large number of tigers that existed in the local area. The jaguar and the African lion are related..."
　　
Jon listened patiently, but felt that she said that there was some truth...Although according to the description in "Historical History", humanoid magical creatures such as werewolves, vampires, and sphinxes were mostly related to failed polymorphs or The curse of the black wizard has something to do...
　　
"Let’s think of the motherland in the previous life. In Chinese legends, there are no more detailed and frequent occurrences of half-beasts and half-human monsters; after all, the environment in the Guannei area, the North China Plain, or the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is relatively stable, with few There are ferocious beasts, so it doesn’t constitute the kind of conditions the tour guide said before...No, it’s not completely absent..."
　　
　　 Jon's mouth suddenly showed a weird smile. Because he suddenly discovered that he was wrong, he thought of a half-human, half-animal monster that frequently appears in traditional Chinese culture.
　　
　　 Fox people!
　　
　　 Or call them "vixies".
　　
　　……
　　
　　 No more divergent thinking, Jon continued to follow the tour guide, mixing in the crowd and patiently observing the surrounding situation.
　　
　　 The tour guide has taken them to the suspension bridge of the castle. Several naughty children are pulling the suspension bridge and dangling, causing the women nearby to scream.
　　
"According to our archaeologists, the real Count Dracula does not actually exist." The girl guide continued: "His prototype comes from the medieval Grand Duke Vlad-Tepes (Vlad III), he ruled the area of ​​Romania from 1456 to 1462... It is said that the grand prince had a blood-seeking disease, and his temperament was extremely cruel. He liked to torture and humiliate the captives with sharp stakes... During the reign of Rad III, there was..."
　　
"Vlad-Tepes is Dracula, the first Count Dracula!" Sandro suddenly fell on the side and whispered, "He used the identity of a secular duchy as a disguise to hide his vampire. His identity; the root cause of his murder of prisoners of war is to share the blood of prisoners with his children and grandchildren..."
　　
　　 "...In the Fourth Crua War, it was this vampire who informed the Ottoman sultans, which led to the defeat of Albania and ultimately the death of the great George Skanderbeg..."
　　
"...George Skanderbeg, our ancestor, finally died in Dracula's Castle, along with the thousand brave Kruja warriors who were captured by him; by that and his descendants... …I’ve sucked my life into a human being!
　　
Sandro wiped his tears ~EbookFREE.me~ while intermittently said: "From then on, we are at odds with these dark bats... even if we are not their opponents, even if we die until the last person... "
　　
　　 Jon patted Sandro on the shoulder and comforted him softly.
　　
At the same time, he heard the director point to the forest on one side and introduce: "The forest ahead was a cemetery hundreds of years ago... According to legend, Vlad III and his descendants killed every prisoner. Later, the corpse will be abandoned in the forest... For hundreds of years, the cemetery has been filled with tens of thousands of corpses...
　　
　　Sandrew wiped away his tears, facing the forest, praying silently.
　　
　　 Jon's eyes scanned the surroundings
　　
　　 When he saw behind him, his brows were frowned, and his right hand was put into his pocket.
　　
　　Because not far behind them, a group of seemingly ferocious travelers are rushing toward this side... the travelers next to them have made way for them.
　　
　　 leads the brutal face, Jon is a little familiar...
