Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 96 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 exchanged glances, full of confusion and puzzlement.

In fact, before deciding to come to the mysterious island, Rango had done enough psychological preparation.

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

It is no exaggeration to say that before landing on the island, he had even prepared himself for the existence of 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 the person he met would be the legendary vampire ancestor Count Dracula!

And he is a Dracula who is a daughter slave!
When Rango first saw Mavis, he was unable to react, but when Dracula, who had a unique appearance and smiled like an auntie when he saw his daughter, appeared in front of him.

He recalled it thoroughly.

Hotel Transylvania.
Undoubtedly, this is a very warm and good movie, but the problem is that it is for the audience. If you experience it yourself,
That scene was not warm but weird!
Just when the vampire ancestor appeared, Rango, who was hiding under the bed, felt his palms burning so hot that they were about to burn.

This guy's strength is definitely on the same level as Mrs. Adams, or even stronger!
That was why he did not take any action that might escape or cause his displeasure.

After all, judging from the conversation just now and his previous movie-watching experience, although Count Dracula does not like humans, he has a good personality and can even be described as kind.

squeak--

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

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

This is a cellar-like place with many rooms around it, but every door is closed.

Dracula, who had been silent all the way, suddenly turned around, looked at them with sharp eyes, and his expression changed from gloomy to bright.

Rango maintained a smile on the surface, but he was actually on guard, and his fingers quietly clasped the Holy Cross Brass Knuckles in his pocket.

As expected, he just glared at Rango fiercely, then snorted coldly: "I don't know how lucky you are. Not only did your ship sink and drift to the mysterious island, but in the end you were even picked up by Mavis!"

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

He politely said to Dracula who was standing 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?"

Dracula was delighted when he heard this, but then he frowned, as if he was worried about something: "Do you hate Mavis?"

"Hate it? No no no."

Whether it was Rango, Teddy or Toothless, they all shook their heads immediately. Although the girl's dark food was hard to swallow, based on their previous interactions.

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

Dracula nodded slightly in surprise after hearing this. "I didn't expect that you have such a high level of awareness as a human being. However, I am wrong about one thing. I hope you leave not for me, but for Mavis."

After saying this, he waved gently to Rango and his group and continued to lead them forward.

After a while, Dracula led them to a tunnel. He pointed at the half-man-high tunnel in front of him and said, "This is the tunnel that Mavis dug with her own hands so that she could secretly go out to play. Now is the perfect time to send you away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dracula's body flashed red and he turned into a small and exquisite bat. He flapped his wings and signaled, "Hurry up and follow me. Remember not to talk."

After saying that, he went in first.
At this moment, Rango couldn't help scratching his head. Ever since he came to this castle, he always felt that the style of painting was a little strange.

Ten minutes later.

Outside the cave, Rango and Dracula worked together, each holding one of Toothless's slightly bulky front paws, and after pulling hard several times, they finally pulled this guy out of the narrow cave!

"Damn, what do you usually eat, Fatty!"

Dracula wiped the non-existent sweat stains on his forehead, then clapped his hands and said with satisfaction: "Okay, you guys hurry up and remember to fly low. If Mavis sees me from the window, I'll be in trouble."

"Well, goodbye, Count."

Rango waved gratefully to the vampire ancestor, then got on Toothless and prepared to fly away.

However, the scene was repeated again, and before they could take off, a bat with pink ears and charming big eyes had quietly landed on Toothless's head.

Dracula tensed up instantly when he saw it.

"I knew it!" Mavis' voice came through the bat's mouth, with a bit 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 promised solemnly that you would let me out of the castle on my birthday and let me come into contact with humans. But every time I asked you, you always found various excuses to shirk your responsibility."

"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 already 118 years old! But dad, you still lock me up in this cold castle like a child."

When she said this, tears welled up in Mavis's eyes, and her look made people feel pity for her.

Dracula's heart seemed to be hit hard. He was at a loss as he circled around his daughter, trying to gently wipe away her tears, but this obviously did not ease Mavis's sadness.

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

Just when Dracula was heartbroken and at a loss, Rango, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Hey, Mavis, you misunderstood Mr. Count."

He put his arm around Dracula's shoulder and smiled at Mavis, "The Count wanted to bring us out to get some fresh air. He had no intention of kicking us out."

"Breathable?" Mavis's face was full of confusion. "Then there's no ventilation through the window?"

"Of course!" Rango suddenly had an idea and explained, "Besides that, the Earl also wants to take us out to collect some folk songs. He hopes that I can sing at your birthday party as a special surprise for you."

"A special surprise?!"

Mavis' eyes lit up instantly, and her sadness disappeared. She excitedly rubbed her bat face against Dracula, "Dad, you're awesome!"

Dracula touched Mavis's little head happily, "I am willing to do anything for your daddy, my dear."

As he said this, he raised his hand hidden behind his back and gave Rango a thumbs up.

Shortly after.

In Mavis's boudoir in the castle, she has returned to her young girl's form and is applying various cosmetics on Rango's face.

"I say, is it necessary to do this? I'm a grown man and you put so much powder on me." Rango said helplessly.

"Of course it's necessary." Mavis held a crayon in her mouth and carefully drew on his face while explaining seriously: "Every time it's my birthday, all the monsters on the island except the one in the dark forest will come over."

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

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

"Oh, right." He had just caught the key words and asked curiously, "What do you mean by the dark forest you just mentioned? Also, can you help me tell you about the mysterious island? I just arrived on the island and I haven't figured out everything yet."

"Okay."

Mavis thought for a moment and then slowly said, "The mysterious island is divided into three major areas. The giant country and the dwarf country each occupy one area, and our hotel occupies another area. In the middle, the dark forest is what separates the island. Unfortunately, I have never been there, but my dad said that there are all kinds of dangerous things there, and there are even monsters that will petrify you if you look at them, so I have no interest in that place."

Hearing this, Rango nodded thoughtfully.

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

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

"Yes."

Rango couldn't help but look at the dark forest outside the window, praying in his heart that the curator would not accidentally enter it.

“It’s done!”

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

Rango in the mirror had his face painted a mysterious blue, looking both funny and weird.

"Does it look good?" Mavis looked at Rango expectantly. In order to do this makeup, she referred to a lot of monster information.

Rango smiled bitterly, but he couldn't bear to reject her kindness, so he said against his will: "It looks good. I am very satisfied."

"hey-hey."

Mavis smiled sheepishly, then pulled her chair closer to get closer to Rango.

"Um. Can you tell me what's going on outside?"

Without waiting for Rango to answer, she continued, "Daddy always told me that there were only bad people outside, so he forbade me to step out of the castle, so I have never seen the outside world. What is the place where you live like?"

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

“There are grandeur of clear skies and darkness of dark clouds. You need to see it all with your own eyes.”

Mavis' eyes showed a hint of longing, and then she shook her head in disappointment, "Dad won't let me go out."

Rango smiled and said, "You know, there is a kind of bat in this world that can't be caged no matter what."

"There are still such bats? Why?"

"Because freedom shines on his wings."
