On the coastline of France's western border, Zhang Yang and Van Hersin quietly disembarked and rode eastward across France.

Along the way, the two of them chose a small path to walk, avoiding crowded places, until they reached Perpignan in the east.

To the east is the Mediterranean Sea, while from Perpignan to the south, Barcelona is a short run.

From here, the two rented a boat and sailed directly to Rome, but there were no other changes in the middle, and the two stood in the center of Rome, in the northwest corner, in the direction of the famous Vatican.

After they left, the Ares quietly followed the original route into the Mediterranean Sea according to the orders of Zhang Yang, and hid in the waters near Rome, if Van Hesin was to go to Romania and destroy the vampire Dracula, he would have to leave by boat.

The Vatican is full of a strong religious atmosphere, at least in Zhang Yang's opinion, as soon as he stepped on the Vatican's apprentice, the core almost knelt down and kowtowed.

"Finally home, Ariki Yuki!"

Borrowing money all the way (the money paid by Zhang Yang) to go home, fart. There was also a creditor collecting debts, and Van Hesin felt that he had never been so hard in his life.

Is this still a shaman-hunting demon of the Holy See?

It's a shame!

Because of this, when Van Hesin arrived at the Vatican, he immediately put on the style of a host: "I will go and report to the cardinal first, you stay in this hotel first, and I will come to you when I come back, rest assured, I will come with money." ”

It seemed that he was afraid that Zhang Yang would sneak up and make trouble, so Van Hersin told Zhang Yang a few words, and then went directly to St. Peter's Cathedral.

St. Peter's Basilica, the largest Catholic church in the world, has a dome of the roof with frescoes painted by Michelangelo and Raphael. There are also Michelangelo's hand-made sculptures, and in the world's largest Catholic church, ordinary people standing on the ground and looking up at the roof can easily feel small and awe-inspiring.

Of course, these did not have any special feelings for Van Hesing, he had been in and out of the church since he was a child, he was very familiar with every corner of the church, and he did not even change his clothes, but walked directly into the main hall wearing a trench coat and leather boots, which caused the angry eyes of a group of priests around him.

"I'm sorry. Father, I'll pay attention next time. ”

Van Hesin grinned, and then, without waiting for the priest to speak, hurried away, turning left and right into a small corner. There is a shrine there that is used for prayer.

Draw a cross in front of yourself. Van Hersin began to pray.

"Bless me. Father, because I ......"

"Because you have soiled the floor of the hall with your boots on, boy, be careful that Father Akaner will punish you to copy the Bible."

A somewhat high-pitched and strange voice rang out, although the thick wooden plank in front of Van Hesin suddenly opened, revealing a figure in a red robe.

"Rest assured. He can't catch me. ”

When Van Hesin saw the cardinal, he felt a sense of home, for whom the priest played the dual role of father and godfather. He is also his guide.

As one of the most prestigious positions in the Catholic Church, the cardinal archbishop smiled at Van Hesing, clearly pleased with Van Hesin's action.

"This time the table was beyond my expectations, I thought you would bring us a dead Dr. Jekyll, this time you did a good job, which is very rare."

"Since you're doing well, what's the reward?"

"Of course there is, and there's a new mission for you."

Hearing Van Hersin's question, the cardinal smiled and pressed the switch next to him, and the stone wall next to it suddenly shrank upward, revealing a passage to the underground, and the wall was lit with torches to illuminate the steps.

In the past, because of Van Hessing's upright personality, he always directly destroyed some dark creatures that could not be seen and brought them back, so he was criticized by the cardinal, and it was rare for him to be praised once, which made Van Hesin a little helpless.

"Good boy, you deserve praise this time, and it is clear that you have begun to know how to think from the perspective of the majority."

As he spoke, the cardinal walked in with Van Hesin in a familiar way, the door behind him was then closed, the passage was not dark, countless torches lit up the place, turning the corner, what appeared in front of the two of them was a huge underground space, a large number of electric lights illuminated here, countless people were busy, newly forged new swords, all kinds of strange props and weapons, and all kinds of machinery, showing that this was a mechanical arsenal.

"You did a good job this time, and you know that without us, the world would be in darkness, and the regime and empire are just a passing moment, only we have protected humanity since ancient times, and we are the last force to defend against evil......"

The cardinal was talking to Van Hesin when he suddenly noticed that Van Hesin had stopped, and then looked at the cardinal strangely: "Father, I have a question for you. ”

"What's the problem?"

Van Hersin thought about it for a moment and said, "You should know, Jekyr was caught by me and a private demon hunter, and I wonder how useful these demon hunters are. ”

The cardinal considered for a moment: "If we use a metaphor, then we are equivalent to a regular army, and these witchers are private detectives, and although they are much less powerful than us, we cannot question the significance of their actions. ”

"As for the demon hunter with you, I always had a strange premonition."

The cardinal frowned slightly for some reason.

"Tell me about this mission, and how Dr. Jekyll is, did you get what you wanted?"

"Jekyr has been sent to the asylum (the old Inquisition), and you know the character of Cardinal Andrei, there should be a way to get what you want."

This is an understatement, but Van Hesin knew very well what the asylum was, and it was based on the original Inquisition, which in ancient times was a rather horrible and bloody place, where countless dark creatures and heretics were burned alive.

Because of the accumulation of resentment over the years, terrible resentment has accumulated in the Inquisition, even to the point where it must be suppressed by relying on the sword in the stone, and it will be creepy to walk in.

André was the current director of the asylum, in charge of punishments and the like, so he was very feared, and at the hearing of André's name, Van Hersin wisely shut his mouth.

"This mission requires you to go to Romania."

The cardinal pointed to the projector in front of him and said, "There is a cursed land, Transylvania, full of many nightmarish creatures, ruled by Count Dracula. ”

"Dracula?"

"That's right, 450 years ago, a knight promised God that the souls of their family would not ascend to heaven until they killed Count Dracula, and his descendant, the king of the gypsies, disappeared a year ago, leaving behind a son and a princess, and if the two of them were killed before Dracula's death, then the souls of their family would go to hell forever."

"This family is important to you?"

Van Hesin raised an eyebrow, then saw the cardinal nod.

"That's right, they've been defending our left wing for hundreds of years, they've made a huge contribution, and we can't afford to watch them go to hell."

"So you're going to let me go to hell to save them."

"Good boy, in a way, it is."

The cardinal patted Van Hesin on the shoulder, then took a scroll from the hand of a Tibetan monk next to him, with a text written in Latin.

"This scroll was left by that knight, and maybe it will come in handy."

On the top of the scroll, there was a serpentine mass with wings, exactly the same pattern as the ring on Van Hesing's right hand, which immediately caught Van Hesin's attention, who knew nothing of his previous memories.

"I think this pattern may be able to help you get back your old memories."

Originally, Van Hersin was somewhat resistant to this task, but when he knew that it was possible to find his own memories, his heart was moved. The cardinal patted Van Hesin on the shoulder.

"Kid, there are some things that have to be faced sooner or later, let Carl go with you, he will help."

Karl is a young monk who is still practicing, he grew up in a monastery freely, he often has some whimsical ideas, and he has come up with a bunch of strange inventions, Van Hesin often buys some gadgets from him, and he is not good at fighting, and he is no different from ordinary people, so Van Hesin is a little puzzled why the Cardinal Church let him bring Karl this time.

Looking at the cardinal who was leaving, Van Hesin suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly stopped the cardinal who was leaving.

"Father, there are some things I want to report to you......"

……

"Well, you wait and go to Father Vasily to get the money, and leave tomorrow, this time it's a long way, you can get some more money."

As if he had received some important news, the cardinal hurried away after dropping a word, and Van Hesin did not care, and through the noisy crowd, Van Hesin found Karl.

Karl was fiddling with something in front of a table with a clear utensil resembling a still, containing an oily, translucent object, and Carl took a drop with his fingers and slammed it to the ground.

"Bang!"

An explosion sounded, and this small transparent object exploded into huge flames and heat in an instant, startling the people around him.

"Carl! Be careful! Your beard almost burned my beard! ”

A bearded man forging a sword roared, causing Karl to shrink his neck in fright.

"I'm sorry, Father, I just made the glycerin (nitroglycerin, explosives) ...... in the new zuò" (to be continued......)
