In the mist-shrouded mountain forest, the muddy dirt road is covered with dead branches and leaves, and in the center of the road are the tracks of ruts and horseshoes.
Desolate! secluded! Isolated from the world!
A carriage drove slowly from a distance. The driver saw ten weird people in strange clothes on the roadside and couldn't help but take a second look. A priest, two handsome boys, two beauties, and five strong men were all unfamiliar faces that they had never seen before.
"Lucian, you said the air here smells very pleasant?"
"Yes, this world makes me feel like I'm back home." Lucian began to like it here. His revenge was avenged. He had no nostalgia for the other world and began to consider staying and settling down.
"What about you, how do you feel?"
Russell asked other people and got similar answers. Compared with the smoky London, breathing the air here is enjoyable.
"I see……"
Russell nodded secretly, and the magic power came to his eyes. Black lines floated in the air, a world blessed by darkness. In other words, the dark creatures are too active, causing the world to become demonized. It is easy to breed dark monsters, and then it starts over and over again, falling into an endless cycle.
For ordinary people, the world is a terrible place, with monsters and ghosts running rampant, pushing them off the top of the food chain.
The advantage is that because there is too much free energy, the human body will become stronger, and the mysterious power can be mastered with a little exercise. Even ordinary people without magic power in their bodies can still skillfully use some witchcraft...
Well, it seems that survival is even more difficult. After all, compared to the devil, the terrifying upright ape is the most terrifying creature!
Walking along the dirt road for two kilometers, there is a large-scale village in front of you. It is very old and has a familiar feeling of a medieval European town.
Seeing this, Amelia and the others were shocked. Except for Michael, a modern man, the youngest of the group had lived for four hundred years and was very familiar with the style in front of them.
It was precisely because of the familiarity that they were deeply surprised by it. They had little experience in traveling through time for the first time, and mistakenly thought they had traveled back to the past across a long river of time.
On the contrary, it was Michael, a young man who had lived in a modern city since childhood, who was the first to accept the reality of time travel. It's not because of the bombardment of the information age, but with Serena by his side, it doesn't matter where he goes.
Russell looked at the wooden plank nailed to the tree, his brows condensing into the Chinese character Sichuan, with the name of the town written on it, a very familiar name.
Sleepy Hollow!
"Sir, is there anything wrong here?" Seeing Russell standing under the tree for a long time, Amelia couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing. Let's go to the front to find out about the vampires. By the way, I'll ask if Alexander and his son have appeared before."
Alexander and William entered the world first, but seemed to disappear out of thin air. Even the werewolf's nose could not smell their whereabouts.
A group of ten people walked into the town. The modern clothes made the townspeople feel a little uneasy. They regarded them as aliens and closed the doors and windows of their homes tightly, hiding behind to peek.
It is normal to survive in this dangerous world and when seeing a strange person appear, the first reaction is not to be curious, but to hide as far away as possible.
A few people found a hotel in a small town. The business on the first floor of the tavern was sluggish. The middle-aged owner was drinking alone. Hearing the door open, he hurriedly greeted people with a smile. But when he saw the strange costumes of Russell and others, his expression suddenly changed.
The eyes are mixed with fear and uneasiness!
Russell smiled softly, raised his hand to take off the necklace from Amelia's neck, and slapped it on the bar: "Hello sir, don't be nervous, we are exorcists passing by, not bad people, and we want to ask you for some information. .”
The shining jewelry made the middle-aged boss dizzy for a while. When he heard Russell calling himself an exorcist, his eyes suddenly lit up. He spoke more politely and asked the clerk to entertain Lucien and the others.
The boss smiled and stretched out his hand, but Russell held down the necklace and asked with a sneer: "With all due respect, you are a priest, right?"
"Fake, I need it for work!"
"Then you are here...for the Headless Horseman's bounty?"
"No, I'm not interested in the Headless Horseman. I want to find out about vampires."
"vampire?"
"That's right!"
As he talked with the middle-aged boss, Russell gradually got some information. It was the late eighteenth century, and Sleepy Hollow was located in a small country in Europe. The name of the country was not important. He had never heard of it. Later, he asked Ah Miliya, I have never heard of it either.
However, from his middle-aged boss, he had a general understanding of the background of the world. The fictional history added a dark and magical worldview. The Grimm's fairy tales and the One Thousand and One Nights stories can be traced here and actually existed.
For example, in the story of Snow White, Sleepy Hollow belonged to the kingdom hundreds of years ago. The Witch Queen once ruled here. After her death, the kingdom split into several small countries.
"Sir, is there anything else I can do for you?" The middle-aged boss rubbed his hands, looked at the jewelry necklace in Russell's hand, and smiled very flatteringly.
Not hearing any news about the vampire, Russell shook his head, put the necklace in his arms, and snapped his fingers to greet his younger brother to leave.
"Wait a minute, sir, you haven't given me the necklace yet."
"Why should I give you the necklace?" Russell looked depressed. Just because the boss chatted with him for a while?
"You just said..." The middle-aged boss was dumbfounded. Russell just put the necklace on the table and never said that he wanted to give it to him.
Well, even if I haven’t said it before, you have to pay for food!
The middle-aged boss was angry and pointed at the table where Lucian and others were sitting. He was dumbfounded again. The food he served was not touched. It looked the same as it was served.
Werewolves and vampires live on blood, even if they are mixed blood. No matter how delicious human food is, they cannot enjoy it, let alone a few pieces of hard bread and low-quality beer.
"Damn it, it's obviously already on the table." Under the gaze of the middle-aged boss with gritted teeth, Russell and his party walked away.
"Sir, where are you going next?"
"Buy some horses and a map, and let's go to the nearest big city..." Russell held the cross necklace on his chest: "Maybe the church has information about vampires."
Just as he was talking, a warning bell suddenly rang over the town, a dark wind blew, and the sound of heavy horse hooves came from the entrance of the town.
In an instant, the already bleak town became even more deserted. People showed fear on their faces and quickly returned home to lock their doors and windows, close their eyes and read the Bible and pray.
clatter! clatter! clatter----
The sound of horse hooves was approaching, and the black horse carried the knight and rushed out of the fog. When one man and one horse charged, there was an unstoppable momentum.
Apart from missing a head, this black knight has nothing to complain about!
As the murderous intent grew stronger, Lucian stood in front of Russell, raised his hand and pulled out his pistol. The werewolves were on guard and tightened their grip on the ultraviolet weapon.
Russell put his hand on his shoulder, shook his head slightly, and signaled to everyone: "Don't meddle in other people's business. The Headless Horseman kills designated targets and has nothing to do with us."
Lucian nodded, still protecting Russell with several werewolf warriors behind him, his muscles tensed up, and he did not withdraw his weapon until the Headless Horseman rode away.
"Let me tell you, the Headless Horseman will not attack casually..."
"叏lvlv~~~"
The tall horse raised its front hooves and turned around under the control of the knight. A sharp long sword was pointed directly at several people.
Russell: (一`??一)
"grown ups!?"
"Stop talking nonsense and kill him!"
