Chapter 449 Four Hundred Years of Surprise
The playboy is very innocent - Chapter 449: Four Hundred Years of Shock
"You're not allowed to go!"
Madame Bovary stared at Van Helsing without giving in.
Van Helsing looked at her for a long time, and then he laughed: "So you still care about me."
Hearing these words, Madame Bovary's expression became complicated again, but this expression disappeared in the blink of an eye. She turned her face coldly. Without hesitation, she flew away: "If you don't want to die, just follow me. You should know how many people in Naples want to take your life."
Watching Madam Bovary's figure gradually disappear into the night, Shen Mo came back to his senses and looked at Van Helsing with a smile: "It seems your story is quite complicated."
Van Helsing was in a daze, and it took him a long time to wake up. He shrugged and returned to his true self: "Complicated stories are usually not comedies. Let's go. Today's work is done. Should you treat me to a drink?"
"If it's too dangerous, don't go." Shen Mo looked serious. Listening to Madame Bovary's words, it seems that Van Helsing has many people in the vampire clan who have deep hatred for him. Although the holy water is precious, it is not worth the risk for Van Helsing. .
"Even if you don't invite me, I will go by myself. Some things need to be resolved. We can't say who will help whom." Van Helsing said calmly, and walked down the mountain first.

"puff!"
A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and the surrounding candlelight flickered and almost went out.
This is a cave in an uninhabited mountain on the outskirts of Ancona. Deep in the cave, Jiang Qiushui, or rather an old witch, is sitting cross-legged on the ground, her face pale and her divine light dim.
"Damn kid, you actually hurt me. Sooner or later I will torture you to death!" The old witch raised her head and gritted her teeth.
Around her, there were five discs, each containing an inheritance seed. At this time, the inheritance seed was releasing a stream of curse power, pouring into the old witch's body.
A large amount of curse power entered the body. The old witch felt much more comfortable this time. She took a long breath and frowned: "This thing is still too little. I must collect thirty-six of them before I can arrange the Ningsha." Great formation, help me restore my cultivation!"
With a flick of her sleeves, the old witch poured a demonic power into the stone wall in front of her, and the scene after her death appeared on the stone wall.
Hearing what Shen Mo and others said, the old witch's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "If you want to ruin my good deeds, I will kill you! Very good, then I will go to Naples and see what you can do." stop me!"
After sitting cross-legged and meditating for a long time, the old witch suppressed the injuries in her body. The reason why she was injured so easily by Fan Helsing this time was indeed as Fan Hexin said to Shen Mo before. She had been injured a long time ago, and now she was injured. If she didn't dare to delay, she must collect the inheritance seeds as soon as possible, treat her internal injuries, and restore her cultivation.
Standing up, the old witch walked to the entrance of the cave. In a sunken place at the entrance of the cave, there was a huge iron cage, where she held four or five evil spirits. These were all found by the old witch to be used as clones.
As an ancient demon, the old witch has many tricks, so it is easy for her to sacrifice and refine clones.
But now that the clone has been destroyed once, the old witch knows that this clone is of little use to Shen Mo. If he kills her once, she will be bitten by him, so it's not worth the risk.
With a palm shot from the air, a stream of demonic fire spurted into the iron cage, and the evil spirit inside suddenly howled miserably. In the blink of an eye, all the ashes were burnt.
"Useless things!"
With a cold snort, the old witch walked out of the cave, disappeared in a flash, and entered the vast night.
…………
Naples, also known as Naples, is the largest city in southern Italy, the capital of the Campania region and the province of Naples, and the third largest metropolitan area in Italy after Milan and Rome.
Of course, this is also the headquarters of the Dark Council.
Italy is the intersection of light and darkness. Here there is not only the Holy See, which represents light, but also the two major forces in the dark world, the Dark Parliament and the Alliance Guild.
The three are located in the Vatican, Naples and Florence, which are close to Rome. They stand at an angle and have existed together for thousands of years.
On the third day after the battle with the old witch, Shen Mo came to this famous city.
"We also have a long history, but China's history exists more in history books." Looking at this city that showed its long history everywhere, Shen Mo couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, not only Naples, Shen Mo has traveled to so many places in Italy. Many cities have well preserved treasures left to them by their ancestors. Such a small country has the most world heritage sites.
Thinking of the cities in China, they are also famous historical cities, but not many of them have been completely preserved.
Yanjing, Nanjing, Chang'an, etc. were all used as imperial capitals many times in history. However, now they have been submerged by the process of modernization, with tall buildings everywhere and no cultural atmosphere left.
"The Dark Parliament has found a good place for itself." Shen Mo said with a smile while walking on the streets of Naples.
Fan Helsing held the wine bottle in his hand and glanced at Shen Mo: "It's best not to mention the words Dark Parliament frequently here. This is the base camp of the Blood Clan. If you can feel the breath of the Blood Clan, you will find that this place There are so many vampires in the city, especially at night, this is a paradise for vampires."
Shen Mo shrugged indifferently. He was not here to trouble the vampires. He didn't care if others didn't provoke him.
Along the way, Fan Hexin explained many things about the Blood Clan to Shen Mo. He knew much more than what Shen Mo got in the archives of the Holy See. As a dark force that can coexist with the Alliance Guild, the Blood Clan also has many things. A powerful presence.
The hierarchy of the Vampire Clan is based on titles. This is because when the dark forces were at their most rampant in the Middle Ages, countless nobles defected and joined the Vampire Clan. These people refused to give up their titles, which gradually affected the Vampire Clan. Make it a division of blood clan levels.
The lowest level in the Vampire Clan are blood servants. Most of them are vampires who have just been embraced for the first time. As servants of the Vampire Clan who have been embraced for the first time, they have to go out hunting and provide the fresh blood they get to their masters to meet all the master's needs.
Above the blood servants are the ordinary clansmen of the thirteen clans of the blood clan. These are all absorbed by the thirteen clans or are the inheritors of the thirteen clans themselves. Above the ordinary clansmen are, in order, the barons, viscounts, earls, marquises, and princes. Duke, prince.
The division of titles is generally based on strength. In the Vampire Clan, the factor related to strength is not only related to the years of practice, but also related to the purity of each Vampire's bloodline.
Although humans who are first embraced become vampires, their bloodline is not pure and it is difficult to advance. Only those noble descendants of vampires can have the opportunity to continue to advance.
Above the princes, the Vampire Clan also has Dharma-level longevity men. These are generally powerful men who have lived for more than a thousand years, and are mostly members of the elder group or the heads of the thirteen clans.
As for those who live longer, no one knows whether those vampires from previous generations still exist.
Based on the battle with Madame Bovary, Shen Mo has a certain understanding of his own strength. His current strength should be able to fight with the prince, but when he encounters a long-lived person of the Dharma level, he is not sure at all.
If there is a Dharma-level longevity person at the headquarters of the Dark Parliament who is unfavorable to him this time, Shen Mo will have no choice but to escape.
"I hope they can cooperate with me." Shen Mo thought in his mind.
"The headquarters of the Dark Parliament is located on Tubbs Island in the Bay of Naples. It is almost the darkest place in the world and is said to be connected to hell." Van Helsing pointed his hand in the direction of the harbor, but there was no trace of worry on his face.
He is going to the Dark Palace. In addition to helping Shen Mo, the most important thing is to find Madame Bovary, his Sophie.
Regarding the story of Van Helsing and Sophie, Shen Mo got a general idea from him when he was drinking last time. When Shen Mo just heard the story, he was also extremely surprised.
He didn't expect that Van Helsing was a man who lived for more than four hundred years!
He is a bounty hunter from the Middle Ages. He has lived from the 16th century to the present, but he still looks like a middle-aged man in his thirties.
The longevity of the vampires is because they can continuously absorb human blood essence, allowing them to ensure sufficient energy, just like monks practicing. Didn't Mrs. Jiang live for more than a thousand years?
It's just that Shen Mo has never seen anything special about Fan Helsing. Could it be that he is also a monk? Western monks don't seem to be ordinary.
However, under Fan Haixin's explanation, Shen Mo slowly felt relieved. The Western world of spiritual practice opened its door to Shen Mo little by little.
Just like the Chinese monks, there is also a world of spiritual practice in the West, such as vampires, werewolves, and the Holy See, all of which are Western practitioners.
Besides these, there is another kind of existence, and that is the magician.
"I am a great magician. I have inherited the inheritance of Merlin. It is the magic in my body that has allowed me to exist for so long." Van Helsing drank wine and smiled at Shen Mo as he talked about his life experience.
Merlin, the great magician of the West, once helped King Arthur ascend to the pinnacle of the throne. Although Shen Mo is Chinese, he has seen this legendary figure in many movies and books, but he never expected that he actually existed.
And the man in front of him turned out to be Merlin's disciple.
When Van Helsing went to England to complete a mission, he accidentally fell into a trap of dark creatures and almost died. It was Merlin who rescued him, took a fancy to his qualifications, and accepted him as his disciple.
It is precisely because of this that Van Helsing became a great magician. A great magician who should have become famous in four hundred years.
But all of this changed because of one woman, and this woman was Sophie.
