Chapter 8 Finding Van Helsing
Zhang Yang looked at the huge rock blocking the door, and circled around it, and found that it was easy to push the huge rock from this angle. Zhang Yang tried it out, and the stone was pushed open to the gap that could accommodate a person's entry, and a foul stench came out of the gap, but it was not strong.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhang Yang carefully walked into the cave after the wind from the mountain pass diluted the stench.
"Woo ~"
The wind blew through the hole, with a creepy sound.
The cave is not dark. The sunlight shines in through the cracks of the stones, and you can clearly see the environment inside. In a cave about 20 square meters, there is a thick layer of hay on the ground, throwing some things in a mess.
"This is probably the place where the pigheads sleep."
Zhang Yang glanced at the situation in the hole, and a faint scratch could be seen on the surrounding walls, as if it was scratched by the pighead man's nails. At this moment, the pighead man had died and the nest became an unoccupied place.
Looking at the pile of debris next to him, Zhang Yang picked up a branch and fiddled with the things inside.
Broken porcelain, ragged linen clothes, half cowhide boots, deformed wine pot, and a broken dagger.
When these ragged irons were fiddled open, a small bag appeared in front of Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang's heart moved and opened the bag. What appeared in front of him was a small bag of gold coins.
“One, two…eleven.”
There were eleven gold coins in total, with a statue of a certain king carved on the back. Zhang Yang remembered that at this time, the gold coins had begun to be gradually abolished, but there were still many places where the gold coins were still in circulation.
The system prompts are:
"This batch of gold coins was minted by George III in 1817. It has begun to be gradually abolished, but it has a high collection value. You can go to relevant places in this world (money shops and other institutions) to exchange for the corresponding price of pounds. 1 = 100 pounds. The system provides redemption function, but the fee is deducted: 1 = 90 pounds, or sold to the system at a universal point of 1/50."
Obviously, these eleven gold coins are the extra rewards prepared by the system. Anyone who finds this cave can receive this reward. If Zhang Yang rides his horse and goes straight to London, he will naturally be out of reach.
As one of the most stable circulating currencies, the value of gold coins is still very high at this time, and it can be exchanged for a lot of money according to the current market price. Zhang Yang was quite satisfied, so he put away his wallet and prepared to find a source of water to wash away the odor on it, then continued to fiddle with the pile of debris, and then found another thing, which was a gold coin, lying quietly in the soil.
"Huh? Another one?"
Zhang Yang curiously picked up the gold coin. It looked slightly smaller than the gold coin I had received before. The pattern on the back was not a king, but a shape with hexagrams and complex lines. The others looked no different. There was a small line of fine English printed on the other side of the gold coin.
“Desire makes people sin.”
"Gold coins:???, the times are unknown, and they seem to be ancient gold coins from a certain dynasty, which cannot be recognized for the time being. They have a high collection value. The exchange price in this world is 100 pounds. The system can be exchanged for an additional £150, or sold to the system for 100 universal points."
Zhang Yang held the gold coin and kept silent. He felt the faint chill from his fingertips, and thought silently in his heart.
The twelve gold coins can be exchanged for a total of 650 universal points, compared with these universal points. Now the pounds are more useful, and the last gold coins were vaguely felt that it was not that simple.
Just as Zhang Yang was thinking, a faint black aura emanated from the six-pointed gold coin. The gold coin was instantly cold and harsh. Zhang Yang couldn't help throwing the gold coin out. Then he felt a faint heat behind him. He took the package off and saw that the one-handed sword obtained from the old Adam was emitting a faint heat.
"Sizi..."
The black aura on the gold coins seemed to be spiritual. When he encountered a one-handed sword, he immediately wanted to dodge. As a result, Zhang Yang felt that the one-handed sword in his hand emitted more and more hot heat. Even the sword body could be seen emitting a faint white light, destroying the black aura like a destruction.
"Congratulations, you unsealed the one-handed greatsword of the Knight Round Table."
"You have obtained a special prop: Sword in the Stone (pseudo)."
After the black gas was destroyed by the white light on the sword body, the gold coin returned to normal and lay honestly on the ground. No matter how Zhang Yang urged him, the situation just now did not appear. The one-handed sword appeared in Zhang Yang's eyes.
"Sword in the stone (pseudo), number: 01045."
“Castor: Merlin.”
"Course: Merlin is a legendary wizard, and is also a close friend and teacher of King Arthur. After teaching King Arthur to draw out the Stone Sword, Merlin whimsically tried to rebuild a Stone Sword. But after making it hundreds of times, she still failed and could only give up. And these remnants, although not as good as the Stone Sword, were accompanied by a hint of Merlin and King Arthur's aura, gradually scattered in the world."
"Special effect: Merlin's breath blessing: Holding this sword can double the physical damage to all dark creatures, and there is a 7% chance of ignoring the opponent's defense effect."
"Please note that due to the years, Merlin's aura has become increasingly weaker. The stronger the dark creatures are, the worse the damage effect."
"Remaining durability: 73/100 (Special items, cannot be repaired)"
On the central axis of the sword hilt, six English letters are carved around the sword hilt, hidden in complex patterns. It is difficult to find the secret without looking carefully. When I saw this sword that night, Zhang Yang happened to see the letter m. After carefully reading it, he found several other letters, which together were merlin.
Zhang Yang smiled.
"It's indeed Merlin! This legendary wizard!"
I believe many people are familiar with the name Merlin, and is as famous as the famous King Arthur, so Zhang Yang thought it was a name and surname at that time. Later, he heard that the sword and armor were auctioned, so he wanted to get it.
Neither old Adam nor his ancestors had carefully seen this sword, so he gave it to Zhang Yang happily, but it seemed that there was a seal before, because the name of the great sword was the Knight one-handed Great Sword, until the scene just now seemed to break the seal on it.
"Maybe that gold coin is related to dark creatures?"
The gold coin is lying quietly in Zhang Yang's hand at this moment. The information displayed is no different from the previous ones, and it is still a series of question marks.
Zhang Yang thought about it, but still did not choose to sell it. Instead, he kept the gold coin. After seeing that the sword in Shi Zhongjian had no other reaction, he used the branch to pull the rest of the things. When there was nothing useful, Zhang Yang was about to leave.
"May you rest in peace."
Zhang Yang drew a cross in front of him.
The cave was covered with thick hay and the air was very dry. After leaving, Zhang Yang directly set a fire to ignite the cave, burning everything inside, and then he led the horse to leave.
"If you can know the way you come, go back by yourself. The place I went is very far away and I can't take you with you."
Looking at the rolling smoke coming from the hole, Zhang Yang patted the old dog's head and signaled it to return to the town by itself.
"Wang!"
The old dog barked a few times, then took a piece of sausage that Zhang Yang had stuffed him and walked slowly towards the town. It was obvious that he was a little resistant to life in the town, but his body was old and could not follow Zhang Yang's distance, nor could he keep up with the horse's speed.
Watching the old dog disappear deep in the woods, Zhang Yang turned over and ran along the southern intersection of the three-way intersection.
The scenery during the day is very different from the night. It is scorching from the sun, and the dark atmosphere is suppressed to the greatest extent, shrank in the shadows of the woods or in the corners of the rocks until the night falls and then covers the earth again.
Zhang Yang rode a group of maroon horses, galloping along Guanlu quickly, and soon arrived at the last town on the edge of the black woods. Zhang Yang's outfit did not attract the attention of others, and then Zhang Yang took off a piece of paper from the wall.
"Wanted Order."
Below the three big characters of the wanted order, there is a portrait wearing a mask and a cowboy hat.
"The government ordered the wanted murderer: Van Hessing, who is deeply involved in several murders. If anyone is familiar with the matter, please report it to the local government agency. The arrester can receive a reward of 500 pounds, and the person who kills the other party can receive a reward of 200 pounds."
Zhang Yang looked at the rough lines on the portrait and sneered, covering a cowboy hat and a mask, only revealing his eyes. With this portrait, he could not catch Fanhesin for a hundred years, not to mention a year or a hundred years.
However, Zhang Yang also knew that Van Hesing deliberately hid his lineup. The so-called murderers were nothing more than the monsters that returned to normal human appearance after destroying the monsters. Those ordinary people who were not sure thought that Van Hesing was a murderer, so they stepped on the wanted order.
"The demon hunter is a demon hunter. What's there to hide? If others know that you are killing a monster, will it still cause the current situation?"
Instead of concealing his identity, Zhang Yang publicly admitted his identity as a demon hunter and used it as his job to make a living. This is because he is a free man, while Vanhesing is a Catholic cardinal. According to the canon rules, Vanhesing can only walk in the darkness and eliminate monsters, so he was wronged.
Zhang Yang bought two meat pies in front of a pie shop and asked the boss. The boss's face changed when he heard the name Van Hessin, but under the 1 pound note in Zhang Yang's hand, he still put down his concerns, lowered his voice and said a few words.
