96. Chapter 96 The Redemption of the Mysterious Island


Chapter 96 The Redemption of the Mysterious Island
In the dim stairwell, Dracula held a flickering oil lamp and slowly led the way ahead.

Behind him, Rango and Teddy's eyes met, full of confusion and confusion.

In fact, before deciding to come to the mysterious island, Lange had already done enough psychological construction.

No matter what monster he encounters on this island, he will not be surprised and will face it with a calm mind.

It is no exaggeration to say that before landing on the island, he had even prepared for the island to be home to a handsome guy who was hundreds of stories tall and loved to beat his chest whenever he had nothing to do.

But what he never expected was that he would meet the legendary Count Dracula, the ancestor of vampires!

And he is also a Dracula who is a slave to his daughter!
When he first saw Mavis, Lange couldn't react yet, but when this Dracula with a unique look and his aunt's smile appeared in front of him when he saw his daughter.

He recalled it thoroughly.

"Hotel Transylvania".
There is no doubt that this is a very warm and good movie, but the problem is that it is for the audience. If you experience it yourself
The scene is not warm but warm. Weird!
Just when the ancestor of the vampire appeared on the stage, Lango's palms, hiding under the bed, were so hot that they were about to burn.

This guy's strength is definitely on the same level as Mrs. Adams, or even stronger!
For this reason, he did not take any action to escape or cause him displeasure.

After all, judging from the exchange just now and his previous movie viewing experience, although Count Dracula doesn't like humans, he has a good personality and can even be called kind.

squeak--

After an unknown amount of time, the group finally stopped in front of a closed door.

Then the closed door opened to them automatically without any wind.

This is a cellar-like place with many rooms around it, but each one has its door closed.

Dracula, who had been silent all the way, suddenly turned around, looking at them with blazing eyes, his face uncertain.

Lango maintained a smile on the surface, but in fact he was secretly on guard, and his fingers quietly closed the Holy Cross Tiger in his pocket.

As expected, he just glared at Lango fiercely, and then snorted coldly: "I really don't know what kind of luck you have. Not to mention that you were able to float to the mysterious island after the ship sank, but in the end you were still able to be captured by Mevey. Get the silk back!"

Lange shrugged and said with the same emotion: "My luck has always been strange, and uh, Mr. Earl."

He politely said to Dracula, who had a face in front of him: "Actually, if you don't like it, we can leave now. We don't have to attend your daughter's birthday party."

"oh?"

When Dracula heard this, he first flashed a hint of joy, and then frowned, as if he was worried about something: "Do you hate Mavis?"

"Hate? No, no, no."

Both Rango, Teddy and Toothless shook their heads immediately. Although the girl's dark food was hard to stomach, judging from their previous interactions.

Mavis is definitely a kind and good girl, how could they hate her?
"You misunderstood Mr. Earl." Lango quickly clarified, "I can see that you don't like humans appearing in the castle, so for the sake of your mood, I think we should leave."

Hearing this, Dracula nodded slightly in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so enlightened as a human being, but there is one thing I said wrong. I hope you leave not for me, but for Mavis."

After saying that, he waved gently to Lango and his party and continued to lead them forward.

After a while, Dracula led them to a tunnel. He pointed to the half-human-high tunnel in front of him and said: "This is the tunnel that Mavis dug with her own hands in order to secretly go out to play. Now it is just right." Send you away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dracula's whole body flashed with red light and turned into a small and exquisite bat. He flapped his wings and signaled: "Follow me quickly and remember not to talk."

After saying that, he went in directly. At this time, Lange couldn't help scratching his head. Ever since he came to this castle, he always felt that the style of painting was a bit strange.

Ten minutes later.

Outside the hole, Lange and Dracula worked together, each holding Toothless's slightly bulky front paw tightly, and after pulling hard several times, they finally pulled the guy out of the narrow hole!

"Damn it, what do you usually eat, Fat Dragon!"

Dracula wiped the non-existent sweat stains on his forehead, then clapped his hands and said with satisfaction: "Okay, you go quickly, remember to fly low, in case Mavis sees it at the window, I'm going to be in trouble."

"Okay, then goodbye, Mr. Earl."

Lango waved his hand gratefully to the ancestor of vampires, then sat on Toothless and prepared to fly away.

However, the scene repeated itself again. Before they could take off, a bat with pink ears and charming Kazlan eyes had quietly landed on Toothless' head.

Dracula tensed up nervously when he saw it.

"I knew it!" Mavis' voice came through the bat's mouth, with a hint of dissatisfaction and grievance.

"You're always like this! Whenever I want to experience new things and meet new people, you stop me."

"Thirty years ago, you vowed to let me out of the castle on my birthday and let me contact humans. But every time I ask you, you always find various reasons to shirk."

"Each of you has been to the outside world and experienced different scenery. But I can only stay in this corner of the castle, day after day, year after year, facing the scenery that I have long been tired of seeing."

"I'm 118 years old! But dad, you still treat me like a child and lock me in this cold castle."

At this point, tears welled up in the corners of Mavis's eyes, and her look was so endearing. "oh"

Dracula's heart seemed to have been hit hard. He circled around his daughter helplessly, trying to gently wipe away her tears, but obviously this could not ease Mavis' sadness.

However, this did not reduce Mavis' sadness at all, and more tears fell down along with the sobs.

Just when Dracula was heartbroken and had no idea, Lange, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Hey, Mavis, you misunderstood Mr. Count."

He put his arm around Dracula's shoulders and smiled at Mavis: "The count is just taking us out to get some air. He has no intention of driving us away."

"Breathable?" Mavis' little face was full of doubts, "Then it can't be breathable through the window?"

"Of course!" Lange had an idea and explained: "In addition, Mr. Count also wants to take us out to collect music. He hopes that I can sing at your birthday party as a special surprise for you."

"A very special surprise?!"

Mavis's eyes lit up instantly, and her sadness was swept away. She rubbed her little bat face against Dracula excitedly, "Dad, you are so awesome!"

Dracula happily touched Mavis' little head and said, "I will do anything for your daddy, baby."

As he spoke, he raised his hand hidden behind his back and gave Lango a thumbs up.

Soon after.

In Mavis's boudoir in the castle, she has returned to her girlish form, holding various cosmetics and smearing them on Lango's face.

"I said...is this necessary? I'm a grown man and you put so much powder on me." Lange said helplessly.

"Of course it's necessary." Mavis held a crayon in her mouth and carefully painted on his face while explaining seriously: "Every time it's my birthday, the whole island except the dark forest side, all other places... Monsters will come."

"And they are usually most afraid of humans, so you'd better dress up before going out, otherwise you will scare them."

Lange raised his eyebrows speechlessly when he heard this. This was the first time he heard that monsters were afraid of humans.

"By the way." He had just captured the keyword and asked curiously: "What do you mean by the dark forest just now? Also, can you tell me about the mysterious island? Nothing has happened since I first landed on the island. Find out."

"OK."

Mavis thought for a moment and spoke slowly: "The Mysterious Island is divided into three major areas. The Kingdom of Giants and the Kingdom of Lilliput each occupy one area, while our hotel occupies another area. And blocking the middle, separates the island. It’s the dark forest. Unfortunately, I’ve never been there, but dad said there are dangerous things there, and there are even monsters that will turn to stone at a glance, so I’m not interested in it.”

Hearing this, Lange nodded thoughtfully.

In this way, this place is not only Verne's novel "The Mysterious Island" but also incorporates many other mysterious elements.

"So, if you want to go to the Land of Lilliput or the Land of Giants, you have to go through that forest?"

"yes."

Lange couldn't help but look out the window at the dark forest, secretly praying to the curator not to stray into it.

"The painting is done!"

Just when he was worried, Mavis clapped her hands excitedly, put down her brush, and handed him a mirror.

Lango in the mirror, his face painted a mysterious blue, looks funny and weird.

"Does it look good?" Mavis looked at Lango expectantly. In order to apply this makeup, she consulted a lot of monster information.

Lange smiled bitterly, but he couldn't bear to brush off her kindness, so he had to say against his will: "It looks good, I am very satisfied."

"hey-hey."

Mavis smiled sheepishly, then pulled the chair closer and got closer to Rango.

"Well, can you tell me about what's going on outside?"

She didn't wait for Lango to answer and continued: "Dad always told me that there are all bad people outside, so he forbids me to step outside the castle, so I have never seen the outside world, what is it like where you live? ?”

Lange pondered for a moment, looked into those expectant eyes, and said seriously: "It's difficult to describe the outside world to you. But I can tell you that it is either light or dark, it all depends on your own heart. "

"There is the majesty of a clear sky, and there is also the darkness of dark clouds. You need to see it all for yourself."

A trace of yearning rose in Mavis's eyes, and then she shook her head in despair, "Dad won't let me go out."

Lango smiled, stared at the sermon and said, "You know, there is a kind of bat in this world that can't be locked up no matter what."

"And this kind of bat? Why?"

"Because the light of freedom shines on his wings."
