A dark legend arose from the ancient land of Romania, where every noble ancestor once guarded the faith. The count had acquired abandoned abbeys and manors, once ruled by ambitious souls who craved eternal power. People absolutely believed the old tales were amazing, yet no one dared to question the terrifying truth hidden in history.
一段黑暗传说出现古老的罗马尼亚大地,这里的每一位祖先都曾守护信仰。伯爵购置了废弃的修道院与庄园,这片土地曾被野心勃勃的灵魂统治,他们渴求永恒的力量。人们全然相信这些古老传说绝妙惊人,却无人敢深究藏在历史里的可怖真相。

When the foreign traveler arrived, he offered sincere apologies for his abrupt visit and opened an atlas to search for the mysterious castle. Sir Arthur, one of Lucy’s suitors, learned that the fragile girl looked anaemic day by day, an astonishing change that shocked everyone around her.
当异乡旅人抵达此地,他为唐突的到访诚恳致歉,摊开地图册寻找这座神秘古堡。露西的追求者之一亚瑟爵士发现,这个柔弱的女孩日渐贫血憔悴,这般令人震惊的变化让所有人错愕不已。

Professor Abraham could easily astound ordinary people with his research on astral spirits and supernatural bodies. In the dim tavern, people drank strong Absinthe and talked about rare aphrodisiac herbs that stirred mortal desire. Sister Agatha kept warning visitors of the castle’s curse.
亚伯拉罕教授凭借星灵与超自然灵体的研究,足以震撼常人。昏暗酒馆中,人们饮着浓烈的苦艾酒,谈论着蛊惑人心的催情秘药。阿加莎修女一直告诫众人古堡的诅咒。

Mina stood quietly, admiring Lucy’s lively temperament. She had never acquainted herself with such dark secrets before. She read her diary attentively, ready to attest to every strange incident that happened lately. Human civilization continued to advance, yet ancient temptation remained alluring and endless.
米娜静静伫立,欣赏着露西鲜活的性情。她从未结识、接触过这般黑暗的秘密。她专注地细读日记,准备证实近期发生的所有诡异事件。人类文明不断发展迭代,可古老的诱惑依旧迷人、生生不息。
