Chapter 9: Lonely... Lady of London

As the name mentioned, something dirty and frightening, the pie shop owner lowered his voice and said, "That person is a murderer, I'd better not have contact with him." ”

"Have you seen him?"

Zhang Yang asked.

"No, but I've heard from those businessmen who travel from south to north that all European countries have wanted warrants for him, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, etc., this guy is murderous, and his methods are very cruel."

The owner of the pie shop hung the pumpkin pie in his hand to the side and wrote a few letters on the board with flour, and put together Van Hesing.

Zhang Yang watched his movements, and felt more deeply about Van Hersing's name, obviously in this world, Van Hesing's murderous name is more terrifying than in the movie.

This is originally a collapsed world, the power of darkness swept the sky, monsters similar to pig-headed people, vampires and other monsters emerged in an endless stream, and because of the industrial revolution, the collision of old and new concepts is easy to cause confusion and disconnection to people, not only in terms of technology and culture, but also in people's understanding of the world.

"Have you ever heard of where Van Hesin has been seen lately? Sue me and I'll add you another £1. ”

Zhang Yang pulled out another £1 and dangled it in front of the pie shop owner.

At the moment, the exchange rate of the coin is 1 pound = 20 shillings = 200 pence, and a large meat pie is only 2 shillings, and 1 pound is definitely a lot of income.

"What are you asking him for?"

Although the boss was greedy, he still aroused a trace of alarm.

Zhang Yang looked at the sparse crowd around him, and said in a low voice: "I am a bounty hunter who specializes in catching criminals, and I saw Van Hesin's bounty, so I want to try it." ”

"Bounty hunters?"

The owner of the pie shop glanced at Zhang Yang suspiciously, and he was carrying a one-handed sword on Zhang Yang's quilt. I believed it a little in my heart, anyway, as long as the other party was not Van Hesin, he nodded.

"MiG just got back to town yesterday and he said that a week ago, there had been several homicides in North Yorkshire, 3 men, a woman were brutally murdered, some people said it was a monster, but when the police arrived, they saw a masked man near the scene. They say that's Van Hersing. ”

The boss's voice was full of jealousy: "This guy is really too ruthless, the local police station ran away before he could catch him, and MiG said that there have been some rumors recently that Van Hersin has come to London." So now the police are on their alert and ready to catch that guy. I guess you rush over now. Maybe you'll be able to run into him again. ”

I got the information I wanted. Zhang Yang paid 2 pounds to the boss happily, and the boss waved goodbye before leaving.

"May God bless you, lad, and good luck."

After bidding farewell to this town, Zhang Yang no longer hesitated and rode the horse in the direction of London. There is a distance between the two, and if it is a horseback, it will probably be there tomorrow morning.

With a map of England obtained from George, Zhang Yang only needed to reach a few villages. After asking if he could deviate from the course and proceed, he rode his horse to London overnight.

After a casual overnight stay in a hotel in a small town, Zhang Yang continued to set off towards London, and finally stepped into this prosperous land at ten o'clock in the morning.

At the moment, London is not as modern as it is, due to the Industrial Revolution, the air pollution in London is relatively strict, but the air in recent days is not bad, but there are no dark clouds.

The majestic towering city walls surrounded the city, and the soldiers in red and white soldier uniforms guarded the exits, and before entering the city, Zhang Yang was stopped by the soldiers with guns to check it, staring at Zhang Yang suspiciously.

"All young men entering London are to be checked to prevent Van Hesin from getting in, please dismount."

Zhang Yang is dressed almost the same as Van Hexin at the moment, and it is also the mainstream dress at this time, in addition to not having a mask, there are many people who have been stopped like Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang didn't say much, and jumped off the horse.

"What's your name?"

"Stan. Plum. Zhang Yang hugged his name, and then said, "This sir, I am a bounty hunter from the Far East, I am not the Van Hersing, he is the target I want to capture." ”

Zhang Yang simply showed the one-handed big sword behind his back, startling the soldiers at the door, it has been rare to see anyone wearing such weapons in recent years, most of them are worn with a portable scimitar, and it is easy to carry.

"This is your weapon? Why is it so heavy! ”

The soldier at the door looked at this huge one-handed greatsword in disbelief, and his hand suddenly sank, and he could only hold it with both hands, since the musket was invented, this kind of greatsword commonly used by knights has been gradually eliminated.

At this time, London did not prohibit the wearing of cold weapons, and even the thermal weapons such as muskets were not completely banned, so Zhang Yang's one-handed sword was not ordered to be put away, and compared with cold weapons, these British soldiers believed in the muskets in their hands more.

"Of course, I'm a gentleman who believes in orthodox chivalry."

Seeing Zhang Yang cooperate so much, the most important thing is that the seemingly heavy one-handed sword, dancing lightly in Zhang Yang's hand, the guard soldiers were ready to let go, and Zhang Yang had a very good eye to stuff a pound bill over, and the guard soldiers suddenly smiled.

"Such a noble knight gentleman, of course, cannot be a wanted criminal Van Hersing, let go!"

"Thank you."

Zhang Yang took off his top hat and bowed gracefully, once again winning the favor of these British soldiers.

Some women near the city gate, their eyes couldn't help but turn on Zhang Yang's body, although the clothes on Zhang Yang's body didn't look expensive, but men should be pretty, and the reason for wearing soap was universal everywhere, a black one-piece windbreaker made Zhang Yang look full of vicissitudes, and the rare oriental face made some noble ladies with small fans shine.

Walking into the city, Zhang Yang looked at the horse-drawn carriages galloping on the streets, and the people in retro costumes, and he was not in a hurry, he knew that Van Hersin usually chose to do it at night, as long as he had not left London, then he would have a chance.

"Sir, my master would like to invite you to dinner."

At this moment, a middle-aged butler dressed in European clothes blocked his way. Not far away, in a carriage pulled by two horses, a woman in her early thirties was smiling and signaling to Zhang Yang.

“……”

Zhang Yang was speechless, and when he looked at himself, there seemed to be nothing special about him, and he didn't understand what the woman had taken a fancy to him.

"Can you refuse?" Zhang Yang asked tentatively.

The old butler's face showed a hint of displeasure: "Sir, my master, Lady Heather, but a friend of Viscount Victor, if you want to live in peace in London, I think you should not refuse." ”

“…… I am honored to be favored by Ms. Heather, please lead the way. ”

"Please follow me."

The smiling middle-aged housekeeper nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this young man was still good, and the previous few handsome guys didn't know how to observe words and looks, and they deserved to be put into a sack and beaten violently.

"Poor young man, I'm going to be ruined by that woman again!"

The people around looked sympathetic, obviously Zhang Yang's encounter was not the first time, but Zhang Yang did not show anything unusual, but was very "honored" to ride a horse next to the carriage, and walked together to a huge manor located somewhere in London, this Heather Lady has a good family background, looking at this age, nine times out of ten is a widow.

"The widows of this era are a group of lonely women."

Zhang Yang said silently in his heart, looking at Ms. Heather who was looking at him with a happy and satisfied face, a standardized smile appeared on her face, although her muscles were stiff, but she did not show a trace of impatience.

"This oriental man looks a lot more flavorful than the guys before him."

Zhang Yang didn't know that the woman was silently comparing herself with the young men before her, and he didn't expect that the first problem he had after coming to London was not how to find Van Hersin, but how to escape from a wolf-like noblewoman.

But no matter what Zhang Yang is, he can't get rid of the current situation, Zhang Yang noticed that the butler's eyes flashed with fierceness, and guessed in his heart that if he refused to go, this woman really dared to use a little means for herself, although Zhang Yang was not afraid, but wouldn't this delay his time in disguise?

Suddenly, a strange look appeared on Zhang Yang's face: "Van Hexin is so handsome, shouldn't he hide in some noble lady's house to sleep now?" ”

……

"A bunch of."

On a street corner, a man covered in a black trench coat and cowboy hat muttered at the sight of the noble ladies, revealing a face with resolute lines.

If Zhang Yang can turn around and walk into this corner, he can see that this person holding a delicate wine jug is exactly what he is looking for.

However, this person's identity is obviously a little embarrassing, because the wine jug in his hand is a delicate aluminum jug, with intricate patterns carved on it, a lion's coat of arms engraved on the back, and a line of English.

"VictorViscount (Viscount Victor......)"

An angry roar could be heard in the distance.

"Damn it! It is simply too arrogant to dare to steal Viscount Victor's things, and that thief must be caught! ”

"That's right, grab him and whip him, you're hanging him!"

"Hurry up, get checked!"

Listening to the faint noise in the distance, it seemed that a group of soldiers were arresting some thief, and this man's face flashed with embarrassment, and he skillfully drank the wine in one gulp, then threw the flask into a gutter, lowered the brim of his hat, and hurried away.
