Chapter 174: Chance Encounter

13 days later, Middle-earth.

Saya.

It is an ancient city with a history of more than 600 years, located in the northeast of St. Petersburg. It was a military fortress built by the Holy See during its expedition to the east.

Now, hundreds of years have passed, and the memory of the war has long since faded, but this ancient city has survived the years.

At the gate of the city, Xiao Yechen stepped into the city gate and drove for more than 10 days.

Now that I have entered the city, I can't help but feel a feeling of returning to human society again.

There is a big river in the city, named Duolang, the willows on the riverside are still clinging, the green grass is overgrown, the beautiful scenery attracts a lot of pedestrians to walk along the river, the pedestrians on the road are weaving, and the sound of joy is endless.

On a small building by the river, Xiao Yechen sat against the window, chopping large pieces of food on the table.

It's a restaurant, and because of its beautiful environment, there are a lot of people who come here to eat.

After using the food, Xiao Yechen took out the map and put it on the table to watch, thinking about how to get to St. Petersburg. At that moment, a clanging sound sounded from the top of the staircase.

Xiao Yechen glanced at it, but saw a man dressed like a cowboy walking up the stairs with a beer. The man had long dark yellow hair, a face full of vicissitudes, and his body was full of various equipment.

There are swords, guns, crossbows, and some unknown weapons.

This peculiar dress attracted many people to look sideways and stare at him curiously.

Facing the curious eyes around him, the man had a blank expression on his face, sat down at the dining table on the left side of Xiao Yechen, and took a big sip of beer. When the beef is served on the table, it is even more like no one else chewing it, and the mouth "chirp chirp" keeps ringing.

After eating, Xiao Yechen left the restaurant and came to the horse shop, ready to buy a horse for the journey. Xiao Yechen doesn't know about horses, although he learned to ride horses in the hobbit world, he doesn't know anything about picking horses.

Under the recommendation of the owner of the horse dealership, Xiao Yechen chose a horse of Huang Zong, who seemed to be quite handsome, and was about to pay, but an unfamiliar voice sounded from behind him:

"If you're going to be in a hurry, it's better not to pick that horse! Although it looks good, the leg bones are a little deformed, and the horse's hooves are thin, so it is not a good choice for other purposes except as food! ”

"Alas, alas! What nonsense are you talking about! My horse is strong and powerful, and it is a rare good horse. If you don't buy it, don't talk nonsense and disturb my business! The boss of the horse shop had a big belly, and when he saw that this business was about to be completed, he didn't think of killing Cheng Cheng to bite the gold, and immediately roared angrily.

Hearing this, Xiao Yechen frowned and turned around, and the moment he saw the speaker, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "It turned out to be you!" ”

This man was the strangely dressed man he had just met in the restaurant.

"yes, we'll see you again!" The man smiled slightly, and said familiarly: "My name is Van Helsing, and I am an exorcist!" ”

"What, he's Van Helsing?"

Xiao Yechen was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately looked at the other party carefully, and saw that his dress was somewhat similar to the legend, so he said after a long time: "Hello, my name is Xiao Yechen, and I am also an exorcist!" ”

"Oh! It turned out to be a peer! However, as an exorcist, how could you want to buy such a scrap horse? ”

Hearing Xiao Yechen say that he was also an exorcist, Van Helsing was shocked. As a professional exorcist, I am quite familiar with the exorcism industry, and I have never seen an exorcist without any equipment on his body.

Although he had doubts, Van Helsing did not ask directly, but talked about the horses.

"I haven't been an exorcist for a long time, and I've only been out for less than a month. For horses, it's just that they can ride! Xiao Yechen explained, and he didn't hide it, he still had a good impression of Van Helsing.

The boss of Ma Xing watched the two chatting and ignored him, and became more and more familiar with each other, so he spat and left in a dark voice.

"So, do you need my help?" Pointing to the horses in the stable, Van Helsing asked. Xiao Yechen had an inexplicable temperament on his body, which made him feel a little good.

"Of course! If you will! ”

With the help of Van Helsing, he changed to a white horse, although it did not look as handsome as the previous one, but looking at its size and limbs, it was much stronger. Xiao Yechen looked at it and nodded secretly.

With the bridle and saddle, Van Helsing handed the reins to Xiao Yechen and said, "Your horse is ready!" ”

Xiao Yechen took it with a smile and thanked him: "Thank you, I'm going to the Holy City next, if I have the opportunity to see you again, I will definitely invite you to drink!" ”

"What! You're also going to the Holy City?! Haha, that's a coincidence, I didn't expect us to be really lucky. Van Helsing laughed. It seems that there will be a companion along the way.

Xiao Yechen's face was also surprised, and he was still thinking about how to get close to Van Helsing, and investigate the news of the Angel's Heart, but he didn't expect Tiangong to be so beautiful......

An hour later, two horses, one black and one white, crossed the city gate and galloped in the direction of the holy city, and soon disappeared into the wilderness.

The city of Saya was not close to St. Petersburg, and the two men rode for two days on horseback before reaching the boundary of the holy city.

After walking for hundreds of kilometers all the way, the two chatted from time to time, and Xiao Yechen also knew a lot about Van Helsing.

This is a rugged and bold man, with a straightforward temperament and a neat way of doing things. Under Xiao Yechen's deliberate friendship, the two quickly established a good friendship, drinking wine and eating meat, so happy.

It was the middle of the night.

Outside the holy city of St. Petersburg, Xiao Yechen and Van Helsing rode over a hill and finally saw this world-famous city.

"Hiss~, this is-what a powerful breath!" As soon as he saw this brightly lit ancient city standing on the ground, Xiao Yechen's face changed greatly.

Under his perception, the entire city in front of him was shrouded in a sacred and fiery aura, thick and terrifying! Any xenomorphic energy in the city will be ruthlessly suppressed.

It was the second time he had felt such a powerful aura, and the first time it was on the dead 'filthy' beast.

"Demigods~~!"

Xiao Yechen's throat was a little dry, and now he could be sure that there was a demigod-level power in St. Petersburg, "It seems that the matter of the Angel's Heart has to be considered in the long run!" ”

Just as he was thinking about it, Van Helsing greeted Xiao Yechen inexplicably on the side: "Hey, man, what are you thinking?" Aren't you scared by the momentum of the Holy City?! ”

Xiao Yechen came back to his senses and smiled, and said insincerely: "Let you laugh, I have grown so big, it is the first time I have seen the real St. Petersburg!" ”

"Haha, it's okay, many people who come to the Holy City for the first time will have such feelings. However, it's the middle of the night, so let's go first! ”

After saying that, the two raised their horses and whipped their horses and walked towards the city gate.
