Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mysterious Gold Coins

"Hey, Carl."

Van Hersin and Karl said hello, and the relationship between the two has always been good.

Karl likes to tinker with all sorts of new things, while Van Hessing is happy to play with his hands, and the two have always worked well together.

"Van Hersin? You're back, and I've heard that the cardinal has praised you, it's a rare thing. ”

"Thank you."

The two said hello, and Van Hersin pulled Carl aside and pointed to a table full of things.

"This time, the cardinal asked you to join me on a mission, and we have to go to Romania."

"Romania? It's the home of vampires...... Wait, I'm going with you? Karl's eyes widened.

"That's right."

Van Hersin shrugged.

……

Zhang Yang, who stayed in the hotel, freshened up and waited for Van Hexin's arrival, but it was not until the afternoon that Van Hexin knocked on Zhang Yang's door.

"Sorry, something delayed, I've already brought your money, a total of 1,100 pounds, you can do it."

Van Hesin took out a stack of pounds with a big stab, which was considered to have fulfilled his promise, Zhang Yang nodded and put it away, and then said casually.

"Hey, our relationship is clear, can you introduce me to Rome, is there anything interesting about Rome?" I've got to have some fun before I leave. ”

"You're leaving?"

Van Hersin was a little surprised.

"Of course, why don't you leave and stay here, I'm not like you have a home to go back to, if you don't work, you'll be hungry, and besides, I'm a wanderer, where there are monsters, there is me."

Zhang Yang said it very freely, but Van Hexin seemed to be a little entangled, and after thinking about it, he still spoke.

"Actually. I want to ask you for a favor...... I already have a new quest and the other party is a vampire, so I want to invite you to go with me......"

Before his words fell, a system prompt rang in Zhang Yang's ears.

"Congratulations, your relationship with Van Hersin has reached 65/100, and the next mission is ......"

"Main quest: Join Van Hersing's team and kill the vampire Count Dracula, then leave the world."

"Time: 1 month, task reward: 20,000 universal points. Failure Penalty: 8000 generic points are deducted. ”

"Side quest 1: Protect the safety of the heroine Princess Anna, the death of the character is regarded as a mission failure, 3500 universal points will be rewarded, and 1500 universal points will be punished."

"Side quest 3: Try to kill a werewolf. Reward: 8000 universal points. Penalty: 3000 universal points. ”

"Hidden Mission: Clues to the Gold Coins."

"Ask Van Hersing, maybe you can get a clue about the gold six-pointed star, reward: unknown, punishment: unknown."

"Note: Before activating this task, you can choose to abandon (discard the gold coins or exchange them for huàn), once activated, it cannot be canceled."

See Task Requirements. It was similar to what he guessed, so Zhang Yang was not too surprised, but it was the mysterious gold coin, and there had been no news before. At this moment, it suddenly appeared, and it was obviously triggered after certain conditions were met.

Listening to Van Hesin's invitation, Zhang Yang knew in his heart that he couldn't refuse, but he didn't need to agree too simply, and after thinking about it, Zhang Yang "hesitated".

"It's not impossible to go with you, but you also know that I eat by eating with a bounty, and if I am allowed to go with me, I can't be free."

This seemed to be expected by Van Hersin, and he said with a happy face: "Then you just agreed to go?" We can talk about the remuneration, you and I go to destroy the vampires, pay half of the deposit in advance, and I will pay you the rest of the remuneration after the deed is completed. ”

Zhang Yang pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then agreed.

"Congratulations, you've successfully joined Van Hersing's camp, the main quest has been accepted and cannot be canceled."

After receiving the main quest, all that was left was to negotiate the payment with Van Hersing, Zhang Yang pretended to take out his bag of gold coins, and then accidentally dropped the mysterious gold coins on the ground and put them on the table.

"Then let's talk about the remuneration......

"Wait, can I take a look at that gold coin?"

Van Hesin didn't pay attention to it originally, but after suddenly seeing the six-pointed star pattern of the gold coin, he suddenly thought of something and asked Zhang Yang for it.

"What, you know?"

"I once saw this pattern in a book of the Holy See, where did you get it?"

Van Hersin tossed and turned with the gold coins, asking Zhang Yang.

"I've killed a pig-headed man before, and found it on his body, but I don't know what it is, and I'm going to keep it for money."

"Money?"

Van Hesin was a little distressed and said: "Such a mysterious gold coin, no matter how bad it is, it is a good thing handed down from ancient times, and it is too wasteful to exchange it for money, and I remember that this gold coin was mentioned in that book, as if it was something terrible." ”

"Something terrible?"

Zhang Yang looked puzzled, Van Hesin took the gold coin and thought about it for a long time, and suddenly spoke.

"I need to go back to the Holy See with the gold coins and check it, maybe ask the knowledgeable priests, of course, you can go with me, the cathedral of the Vatican is also a semi-open tourist attraction, you can go there and see the frescoes."

Under such a lure, Zhang Yang followed Van Hersing out of the hotel and went to St. Peter's Cathedral, with Van Hersin as his guarantor, Zhang Yang walked in without any formalities.

"You wait here for a while, I'll go find someone to help you inquire, don't run around."

Van Hersin took Zhang Yang to the inside of the hall, and after a few words, he walked to the back, while Zhang Yang looked up at the strokes of the dome, and his heart was full of shock.

The basilica was originally designed by Michelangelo, and the frescoes on the dome, which are 42 meters in diameter and 138 meters high at the highest point in the center, will leave anyone looking up at such a massive structure with an unparalleled sense of shock.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the so-called gods, this is just the illusion caused by the use of the height difference of the building and the five senses of human beings, in fact, any tall and towering building, will naturally form a pressure, giving people a feeling of "awe", and outside the main hall of St. Peter's Square, after careful design and decorative carving, formed a religious shrine with a strong religious atmosphere.
