Sleepy Hollow Town Church!
It's called a church, but it's actually a large wooden house filled with benches, crosses hung on the walls, and painted white.
Oh, there is also a white fence around it, as well as unkempt weeds that, according to the mayor, are naturally growing green belts.
The mayor's face was wrapped in gauze to cover his bruises and swelling. He was dressed in a solemn black priest's robe and pretended to read the Bible. Because there was no post-dubbing and the mouth shape couldn't be matched, no one knew what he was saying.
Yes, the mayor is also the priest of the town of Sleepy Hollow. He has almost all the titles in the town.
The purpose is self-evident, but the result... considering that the townspeople regard him as a disaster, you know that he is already a successful man.
In front of the church, the Headless Horseman was tied up in shackles, with large chains around his wrists wrapped around his body. He was thrown into a newly dug pit by a werewolf warrior and sealed physically.
There is no market for the Headless Horseman anymore. With his excellent martial arts skills and immortality, he just hangs around in the countryside. This was still in the 18th century, but in the 21st century, he could only be studied.
The final analysis is that the equipment is backward. Looking at the weapons of several generations of Ghost Riders, it is not difficult to find that only by advancing with the times will they not be eliminated.
"Father, can this suppress the Headless Horseman?"
The mayor felt that it was a bit unreliable, but he was a fake priest. When faced with the real priest Russell, he did not dare to question too much for fear of revealing too much.
"Of course, the church is the yang energy of the small town... Ahem, I mean the place closest to the Lord. Putting a cross on the headless horseman's grave and finding someone to recite the Bible every day can suppress him for hundreds of years at least. "
When Russell said this, he sighed deeply: "But this is only a temporary solution, not a root cause. Without the headless horseman, there might be another handless horseman."
The mayor's face changed slightly and he asked in a low voice: "Father, is there any way to completely cut off the source of evil?"
No wonder the mayor was so troubled, because with the appearance of the Headless Horseman, his revenue declined year by year, and his greed became less and less every year, so much so that he tossed and turned and was so worried that he couldn't sleep.
"To tell you the truth, I suspect there is a wizard in the town, and the Headless Horseman is his puppet who kills people for profit."
"Wizard! A puppet who kills people for profit!"
The mayor's eyes lit up when he heard this. He suddenly saw Russell's playful eyes and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat: "It's not me, I'm not that wizard."
Russell said disgustedly: "I know it wasn't you. If you had the Headless Horseman as your puppet, you would have become the mayor long ago."
The mayor nodded awkwardly, but he didn't think so. If the Headless Horseman had been a thug, he would have started out as a prime minister.
"Father, can you help get rid of the wizard?"
After the mayor finished speaking, he saw Russell wandering around and cursed the hypocrisy secretly. He took out a bag of gold coins from his sleeve and handed it over.
Russell accepted the gold coin, bumped it and hid it in his sleeve. In fact, he put the space ring away and continued to wander around the world.
"Father?"
"..."
The mayor pulled Russell's sleeve, slightly annoyed: "How can you be so shameless in front of the Lord?"
"In front of the Lord, do not use malicious words to hurt others. I heard that whoever can catch the Headless Horseman will get a reward, so I deserve the gold coin just now."
Russell's words made sense. The mayor thought for a while and reluctantly took out a stack of banknotes with a statue of the goddess Britannia printed on them. He said bluntly: "No more, that's all. If you still don't think it's enough, I'd rather Not catching wizards.”
"Mayor, I am not a greedy person. I receive money because of my labor, and I will never take the opportunity to extort money." After finishing speaking, he was still in a daze.
The mayor was completely angry: "What else do you want?"
"Horses, maps, and...do you know anything about vampires?"
…
The next day, Russell and his party mounted their horses and headed to a nearby city.
It would be a waste of time to find a wizard without magic power. Russell didn't want to be a detective, so he gave the mayor an idea. There are two guards posted in the church, one light and one dark. Whoever hangs out on the tomb in the middle of the night, or wants to dig out the Headless Horseman for sunbathing, is a wizard.
Even if not, according to this routine, the magic weapon can make the wizard dare not act rashly, ensuring the safety of the town for at least fifty years.
As for fifty years from now...
To be honest, it would be better for the Headless Horseman to continue lying down. He already has a revolver, so what is he doing out here?
…
Paris!
The city is deathly silent at night, and gloomy Gothic buildings can be seen everywhere in this city. They complement the dark background of the world and make people feel that this is the center of the world.
"My lord, why are we in Paris?"
Lucian looked like he was constipated. Less than two days after leaving the town of Sleepy Hollow, the group arrived in Paris. It was obviously not marked that way on the map.
"Don't think too much, just get used to it. This world is far more absurd than you think."
Russell said that the problem is not big, it is just like playing a game. You save a girl and think that she will only belong to you from now on. As a result, 8 million warriors come in and out of her room...
Ahem, you said it wrong!
Just like playing a game, I walked out of the girl's room and entered the dark forest without taking two steps. No one found anything inappropriate.
A large world view with strong dark elements, mixed with various fairy tales, myths, and folk tales. It would be nice if such a world did not explode. Lucian actually thought that it was illogical. If he really followed logic, human beings would have been eaten up long ago. .
Only novices will care about the details, while veteran players are thinking about what plot will be triggered.
"Father, will we encounter the Ripper?" Michael asked excitedly.
"Although the time difference is a hundred years, it is not impossible..." After all, the moral integrity of the world of Hodgepodge is worrying. Russell thought this and murmured in his heart, whether it was possible that he would bump into the Death God primary school student.
If you encounter one, should you kill him immediately, or wait and see first, then kill him later?
Russell lowered his head and thought about it, not minding the suspicious looks of passers-by at all. They were mainly Amelia and Serena, two goddesses in black leather clothes. Practitioners of a technical type of work.
Russell and others seemed to be walking aimlessly, but in fact they were fishing for law enforcement, using them as bait to lure the dark creatures in the city to appear.
The effect was outstanding. After turning into a dark alley, several people noticed a follower behind them and confirmed that it was not a human being.
"Wait a moment!"
Russell glanced at the wall out of the corner of his eye and found a wanted poster in the dim light. There is a portrait of a wanted criminal painted on it. He has a black hat, a black windbreaker, and his face is covered. He doesn't look like a good person at first glance!
Russell tore off the wanted poster and read it in a low voice: "VAN HELSING, 2,000 francs..."
