v3 Chapter 1： Author's words: (22/Fri/21)

is mainly to introduce the prototype of Batori and Anis:

(1) Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed is a real person in history. She is the countess of Hungary. She comes from the famous Báthory family. She is also the most murdered female serial killer in history. Countess".

According to legend, she wanted to find a way to keep her youth and beauty forever, so she ordered a large number of young girls to be captured, killed and bleed, and then bathed in the blood.

Later Irish writer Joseph Sheridan LeFanu used her as a prototype to write "Camilla", a vampire novel that is as famous as "Dracula". It can be said that she is the first female vampire to appear in Muggle literature as the protagonist.

(2) Annis Black (Annis) exists in the Harry Potter universe. It comes from the Daily Prophet. She lives in a cave in the Dead Swamp. The Daily Prophet published a letter she wrote to the newspaper. In the letter, the protest newspaper described the **** as a "monster of cannibalism."

Rowling designed this character based on the British folklore Annis (Annis) as the prototype (in fact, the name is reversed). According to folklore, Black Annis is a blue-faced cyclops with long white teeth and iron claws, living in a cave she dug by hand. There is an old oak tree in front of her cave, and she likes to sit on the tree looking for prey in the nearby suburbs. When a child who looked delicious came into her sight, she would suddenly jump out of the tree and pounce on the prey, treating him as a good meal.

Until now, the old house in Leicestershire still retains the tradition of building small windows to prevent her from crawling in in the middle of the night. (Some legends think she can create nightmares, some think she is here to catch children)
