Chapter 120: Van Helsing
This time the stairs were no longer endless with no end in sight, and Ethan saw the location of the exit as soon as he stepped on the stairs, so he just brought dry food and water with him, as well as a wooden stick for the seat weapon, and did not bring much with him.
After stepping on the stairs, the original vague memory became clear again, and at this time, he looked back at the seemingly boundless sea, and suddenly felt a little frightened: if he couldn't find the right way in time, would he have to survive in this world forever?
"My current body is an ordinary person, although there is no sign of getting old, but if the lifespan is suppressed to the ordinary level, it means that I may die here......"
It's terrible to think about that kind of ending!
Die alone in a place where no one knows...... It would be great if Abraham didn't make it through and hung up.
"I shouldn't be the same as his test, right?"
This kind of world full of oceans, no matter how you look at it, is related to your own experience, and Abraham should have encountered a different environment.
At this time, Ethan's test of the Tower of Babel can be guessed somewhat, and the next test is most likely to 'regain' his strength.
"I just don't know if it will make me 'amnesia' again. β
He wished he hadn't, it was so unpleasant! Because of this concern, when he came to the end of the stairs and faced this light door, he didn't immediately step in.
"Maybe something should be done?"
Although he feels his power now, he is still an ordinary person in essence, and he has no means to protect his memory, so it seems that there is nothing he can do in this situation?
Every now and then, he wants to kill that old guy!
With a sigh, Ethan stepped into the light door.
There was no dizziness or emptiness under his feet, as if he had passed through a membrane, and Ethan immediately saw his surroundings clearly.
β......β
Following the last time in the ocean, this time in the wilderness?
It should be a plain, and there is no trace of people nearby: that is, there are no obvious roads, and there are no man-made buildings or anything like that.
Seeing this situation, Ethan could only see if there was any high ground and then go up to see if there was any high ground.
Not far away was a hill, and the place he was in at this time was also considered high, and he only had to continue to walk a few more steps to stand on a higher place.
The sight was good, Ethan looked around, still not recognizable what it was, but he saw a man on horseback in the distance, moving gracefully.
"It's like seeing a living person. β
I don't know how many years have passed in that sea, and Ethan now misses the living - it is not necessary to talk to each other, even if it is a happy thing to watch.
But now the important thing is to hurry down from the mountain, otherwise you can only watch this person walk away.
Turning and walking briskly down the hill, Ethan calculated the distance between the two sides well, controlling his speed. He didn't run recklessly, so he would be tired and unable to move before he reached his destination.
He has to distribute his stamina well to 'intercept' the opponent in the right position.
Ethan calculated accurately, arrived at the location he had determined ahead of time, and then waited there for the appearance of that person, and recovered his strength by the way.
He wasn't sure of the man's identity and character, so he needed some caution, and he had a wooden stick at hand, the only weapon he could use.
With his excellent physical fitness, rich combat experience, and skillful skills, he is confident that he can defeat the opponent as long as he is not a non-human.
However, when he saw the face of the comer, he was still stunned for a moment.
"Uh...... Logan?"
The man on horseback wore a black shirt and trousers, a heavy leather coat and a black hat, a long sword stuck at his waist, and other weapons in his bag.
Of course, what worries Ethan the most is that this man is exactly the same as Logan, but the beard is not so thick.
"You've mistaken someone. β
The man glanced at Ethan very indifferently, without the intention of stopping, ready to go around Ethan and continue to move forward, and when he found that Ethan continued to stop in front, he immediately pulled out a crossbow from the bag behind him, aiming at the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Raising his hand and spreading it out, he showed that he had no ill intentions, Ethan already knew who this thing was.
"Don't be nervous, I just wanted to ask you something. β
"I don't know anything, you go ask someone. β
Ethan didn't mean to get out of the way, and smiled and showed himself: "You should see that I'm in some trouble, I just want to ask where I am now? β
The man who looked like Logan continued to look at Ethan vigilantly, and the crossbow arrow in his hand did not retract, but continued to point at Ethan.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better not go with me. β
"Will there be any danger?" Ethan waved the wooden stick in his hand casually: "I still have some ability to protect myself, otherwise I would not have survived until now." β
He knew why the other party was so vigilant about himself, and a person suddenly appeared in the wilderness, and anyone would suspect the identity of the other party.
What's more, if this person is really the guy Ethan knows, I'm afraid he will still wonder if Ethan is a spy sent by the enemy?
"If you really want to find the town, just go all the way in that direction. β
Ethan noticed that the other party was pointing in the direction he was coming from, he twisted slightly and asked in the direction that the person was facing him, "It's too dangerous to go on the road alone, can't I walk with you?"
"It's not a good idea to come with me, it won't do you any good. β
"At least it's not too stuffy. β
Putting away the crossbow arrow in his hand, the man who looked exactly like Logan shook his head helplessly, no longer opened his mouth to persuade, but urged his horse to move on, as if he was too lazy to continue to take care of Ethan, ready to continue to hurry.
Ethan can't let him leave like this, he doesn't have much choice in this world at the moment, although it will be dangerous to follow this person, but he can also get in touch with the plot, he has to figure out what the 'clearance' requirement is this time, he doesn't think it's a coincidence that this person appears in front of him.
"My name is Ethan. β
β......β
"You're dressed a lot like a legendary person. β
β......β
"Are you that guy?"
"It's not!"
"I didn't even say who it was, so I simply denied it, if you really want to deceive the other party, it's better to put a little thought into it. β
β......β
"Van Helsing, who are you going to deal with this time?"
β......β
Van Helsing suddenly reined in his horse, held the crossbow arrow in his hand again and pointed it at Ethan: "Who are you, who sent you?"
This time he did not continue to sit on the horse, but jumped straight down, and in addition to the crossbow arrow in his hand, he could draw the long sword at his waist at any time.
"Nobody sent me, I just happened to hear of you. β
Van Helsing ignored Ethan's explanation, staring at him with his fingers already on the trigger, and the special crossbow arrow in his hand could shoot Ethan in front of him into a hedgehog at any time.
He found that Ethan was not scared at all, which strengthened his judgment: this guy is not an ordinary person!
"Did Serena send you?"
"No...... Wait a minute, who are you talking about?" Ethan habitually prepared to deny, and when he realized who Van Helsing was talking about, he asked the other party in surprise: "Serena?"
Could it be the same name? But it's strange enough to hear the name from Van Helsing's mouth.
Van Helsing was really puzzled when he found out that Ethan, could he have guessed wrong? This guy wasn't a spy sent by Serena?
"Who the hell are you?"
"As I said, I'm just a normal guy who gets lost. β
"Ordinary people don't react like you, and you react like this...... You seem to know Serena, but you don't seem to know who she is?"
"I know a woman named Serena, but it's probably not the one you mentioned?"
Van Helsing carefully observed Ethan's appearance and put away the crossbow arrow after thinking that he was not lying, but his hand was still on the handle of the dagger, so that he could draw it out at any time to deal with emergencies.
"You don't have to be so wary of me!"
"Since I can see that I'm watching out for you, it proves that my vigilance is necessary. β
"Okay......"
Ethan shrugged his shoulders, eager to continue asking about Serena.
"Who the hell is that Serena you just mentioned?"
"You really don't know?"
Van Helsing shook his head when he saw Ethan, and explained it to him briefly.
"Count Serena is the ruler of Transylvania, and there is nothing to worry about...... But lately the Holy See has been receiving information about the countess, who has been described as having fallen completely, turned into a bloodthirsty monster, and has ruled Transylvania with darkness and terror ......"
Listening to Van Helsing's description, Ethan always felt weirdβthe story itself was not strange, but it was difficult for him not to think it was strange to put Serena in it.
Brutal, bloodthirsty, dark?
Except for the last point, the other adjectives didn't match the Serena he remembered, but why was it called that?
Coincidence? Ethan would never have thought so.
"What's wrong with you?"
Van Helsing had been carefully observing Ethan's reaction, and as a result, he noticed that Ethan's face became more and more strange as he told the story.
"I have decided to meet this Count Serena. β
Van Helsing's brows furrowed together, he had already made it clear about his destination, Transylvania, that it was not a good place. I thought it would scare this person away, but I didn't expect him to say that he had to go there.
"Is there any reason?"
"I'm going to see if the countess is the Serena I know. β
