Lucius became a huge variable here, and it was precisely because of his appearance that he incited the people in the town.
No one is willing to accept a wanted murderer into their town. For the safety of their families, no matter how timid they are, they will come forward.
"Arrest him!" Lucius shouted to everyone: "In the name of the mayor, I announce the arrest of this murderer. His wanted bounty, I promise, will be used to build the town and provide life for orphans and widows. Help!"
The power of this promise is incredible! As soon as they heard this, several men immediately rushed towards Van Helsing, trying to catch him.
How could Van Helsing give in? He was a rebellious person. Even if he was wanted by people who didn't know the truth, he never bothered to explain anything. Moreover, this was not the first time he faced such a situation of being besieged, so he immediately pulled out the gun on his waist and fired at He fired two shots into the sky!
The roaring gunfire shocked the townspeople. All they had in their hands were axes, sickles, dung and forks, but they understood the power of firearms and of course they did not dare to rush forward rashly.
When Fan Hexin was besieged in the past, he used this method to rescue him. He originally thought that this time would be no exception. However, what he didn't expect was that something unexpected happened this time, and the mayor Lucius actually came up with something. The gun is pointed at Van Helsing!
"If you dare to resist, I will beat you to death on the spot!" Lucius said sinisterly.
Van Helsing was immediately confused. Could it be that he really fought with these townspeople and fought his way out? Then he will really be confirmed as the murderer!
He came here under the commission of the Knights of the Holy Order of the Church to eliminate the vampire Dracula. How could he complete his mission if he was being hunted by the entire town?
Friar Carl had no hope. Faced with this situation, Carl had already shrunk into a ball, so after hesitating for a while, Van Helsing finally made a compromise. He put down the gun in his hand, raised his hands and surrendered. The big men rushed towards him, twisting his hands and forcing him to kneel on the ground.
"Tie him up!" Lucius, the mayor, just felt that he was in the limelight today, so he ordered proudly.
However, at this moment, Anna, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Wait a minute, you can't catch him!"
Van Helsing turned to look at Anna in astonishment. He didn't know why this woman would speak out to help him.
Lucius looked gloomy and asked, "Why?"
Anna said: "If his name is really Van Helsing as you said, then he should not be a wanted criminal, but a very famous monster hunter! I have heard of his name. It is said that he was a hundred years ago. I once killed a vampire!"
There was a sudden commotion among the surrounding townspeople. Monster hunter? Vampire hunter?
Lucius didn't care about that much. He remembered Roy's words and said, "Miss Anna, what can you guarantee for him?"
Without waiting for Anna to speak, he rushed to say: "Miss Anna, although I really don't want to say it, I still want to remind you that although I admire your family's oath to God, I also admire your family's past hundreds of years. The crusade against Dracula, but have you ever thought about it? It is precisely because your family is incompetent and has not been able to kill Dracula that the small town of Transylvania has been suffering for hundreds of years. The disaster of vampires. Every household in this town has lost their loved ones at the hands of vampires. All of these are responsibilities that your family cannot escape!"
Language is a great art, and what Lucius said is indeed true. As descendants of the Villeless family, Anna and his brother Viken have always enjoyed many privileges in the town. People admired their family's courage to fight vampires and gave it to them, but in fact, the real cause of this disaster was also their family.
When Lucius followed Roy's instructions and revealed the truth, the eyes of the people present when they looked at Anna suddenly flickered.
Lucius's words brought back people's painful memories of losing their loved ones, but unfortunately, many people are unable to find a channel to vent...
"Bah!" Suddenly, a woman in the crowd couldn't help but spit on the ground!
This spit, like a chain effect, made people start to point fingers at Anna.
"Baron Lucius is right, the disaster of vampires ultimately lies with their family!"
"I don't understand why the souls of their family can enter heaven after they eliminate vampires!?"
"That's right, what about those of us who were harmed by vampires? As for those killed by vampires, their souls will only go to hell..."
"It's not fair! In terms of faith, we are no worse than their family!"
"Why does God give them family privileges?"
The low-pitched discussions gradually became more and more serious. Seeing people's disgusted eyes, Anna couldn't figure out why she just said a word, why did it suddenly become like this? ? ?
When Van Helsing listened, he also felt that the problem was very troublesome.
He actually understood that the church had told him before sending him here that it was precisely because the Villeless family had been defending the church's left wing in Eastern Europe that the church was able to ensure its success in the war for faith. Victory, in order to prevent the symbol of the Villeless family from collapsing, the church must help.
In other words, because the Villeless family is valuable...
And if ordinary people have no merit, does that mean they deserve what they deserve?
Van Helsing didn't know how to answer this question. The reason why some unspoken rules are unspoken rules is because they cannot be allowed to surface...
"So, Miss Anna!" Lucius sneered, holding the gun: "If I were you, I would focus more on how to eliminate Dracula, instead of coming to interfere like now. The law of the town!"
"Tie them up and take them away!" Lucius finished speaking and waved his hand to direct the townspeople to take action.
Van Helsing could not resist and could only let the crowd push him away. Hundreds of townspeople from the Transylvanian town escorted Van Helsing and Carl toward the wilderness outside the town. There are no special prisons for prisoners, so they are usually tied up and placed in the wild.
While Van Helsing was being taken away, he frequently looked back at Anna. He knew Anna's identity and was already thinking about how to escape and then find Anna, a descendant of the Villeless family.
And looking at Van Helsing's leaving figure, Anna knew that from now on, their family might have lost its foundation in this town...
Just when Anna was worrying about gains and losses, a voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Hohoho, dear Anna, you have become a pitiful little person now!"
Anna was startled. The moment she turned back, she had already pulled out the dagger from her waist. However, her movement to raise her hand was stopped. One of Dracula's brides transformed into a human form and stood behind her.
Clamping Anna's hand holding the knife, the vampire bride looked proud. She had been hiding in the crowd and saw the whole thing, so she naturally felt very happy.
"How is it? How does it feel to lose support?" The bride said with a smile: "For hundreds of years, your family has been like heroes in this town, but now, you have become the culprit. This drama, It really makes me happy to watch it!"
"What do you want?" Anna said angrily while trying to break free.
"I came here to tell you a piece of news!" The bride said, "Your brother is not dead yet!"
"Wha...what!?" Anna couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"You heard it right, he is not dead!" The bride let go of her hand and started walking around her. As she walked, she greedily smelled the smell of blood on her body and said, "But his condition is not very good. Well, he was bitten by a werewolf!"
After Anna heard this, she almost lost control of her emotions. However, before she could take action, the bride hugged her from behind, smiled and said in her ear: "But you don't have to worry, as long as it's in the first month Before the end of the circle, get rid of the werewolf's venom, so that he will not become a monster that his relatives will not recognize. And this kind of antidote, Master Dracula happens to have one in his hand. If you want it, then come to the castle and Master, let's make a deal!"
After saying that, without waiting for Anna to reply, the bride let go of her, turned into a vampire with a grin and flew up into the sky. The people who saw this scene were so frightened that they ran away in panic.
"Deal?" Anna bit her lip tightly, struggling in her heart...
