Chapter 8: The Search for Van Hersin

Zhang Yang looked at the boulder blocked at the door, circled around, and found that from this angle it was easy to push the boulder away, Zhang Yang tried it, and the stone was pushed open the gap that could accommodate one person to enter, and a foul smell came from the gap, but it was not strong.

After waiting for about ten minutes, after the wind blowing from the mountain pass diluted the stench, Zhang Yang cautiously walked into the cave.

"Whimper~"

The wind blew through the mouth of the cave with a creepy sound.

The cave is not dark, the sunlight shines through the cracks in the stones, and you can clearly see the environment inside, about a cave of more than 20 square meters, the ground is covered with a thick layer of hay, and some things are thrown messily on the side.

"This is where the pig-headed man sleeps."

Zhang Yang glanced at the situation in the cave, faint scratches could be seen on the surrounding walls, which seemed to be scratched by the pig-headed man's fingernails, and at this moment the pig-headed man was dead, and this nest had become a place that no one occupied.

Looking at the pile of debris next to him, Zhang Yang picked up a branch and fiddled with the contents inside.

Broken porcelain, tattered linen clothes, half a cowhide boot, a deformed flask, and a broken dagger.

When these broken copper and iron were opened, a small bag appeared in front of Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang's heart moved, opened the bag, and what appeared in front of him was a small bag of gold coins.

"One, two...... Eleven. ”

There were eleven gold coins with a statue of a certain king carved on the back, and Zhang Yang remembered that gold coins had begun to be phased out at this time, but there were still many places where gold coins were still in circulation.

The prompt is:

"These coins were struck in 1817 during the reign of George III. At present, it has begun to be gradually abolished, but it has a high collection value, and you can go to the relevant location in the world (money bank and other institutions) to exchange for the corresponding price of pounds, 1 piece = 100 pounds, the system provides a huàn function, but you need to deduct the fee: 1 piece = 90 pounds, or sell it to the system according to 1 piece/50 universal points. ”

Obviously, these eleven gold coins are an extra reward prepared by the system, anyone who finds this cave. can get this reward, if Zhang Yang rides away directly and goes straight to London, he will naturally have no chance with him.

As one of the most stable currencies in circulation, the value of gold coins was still very high at this time. According to the current market price, it can be exchanged for a lot of money, and Zhang Yang is quite satisfied. Put away the money bag. Preparing to find a water source to wash away the stench, he continued to fiddle with the debris, and then found another thing, which was a gold coin, lying quietly in the dirt.

"Huh? And another one? ”

Zhang Yang picked up this gold coin curiously, and it looked slightly smaller than the gold coin he had obtained before. The reverse is not a king, but a shape with a six-pointed star and intricate lines, nothing else looks different, with a small line of fine English printed on the other side of the coin.

"Lust makes people sin."

"Gold: ???。 The age is unknown, it seems to be an ancient gold coin of a certain dynasty, temporarily unrecognizable, with high collectible value, the price of this world to huàn: 100 pounds, the system can exchange huàn for an additional 150 pounds, or sell to the system for 100 universal points. ”

Zhang Yang pinched the gold coin silently, feeling the faint coolness coming from his fingertips, and silently considered it in his heart.

Twelve gold coins can be exchanged for a total of 650 universal points, compared with this universal point, the current pounds are more useful, and the last gold coin, Zhang Yang vaguely felt that it was not so simple.

Just when Zhang Yang was thinking, a faint black aura emanated from the six-pointed star gold coin, the gold coin was instantly cold and piercing, Zhang Yang couldn't help but throw the gold coin out, and then felt a faint heat behind him, and took off the package to see that the one-handed big sword obtained from the old Adam's hand was emitting a faint heat.

"Zizi Zi ......"

The black qi on the gold coin is like spirituality, and when it encounters a one-handed big sword, he immediately wants to dodge, but as a result, Zhang Yang feels that the one-handed big sword in his hand emits more and more hot heat, and even the naked eye can see that the sword body emits a layer of faint white light, destroying the wisp of black qi like a withering and decaying one.

"Congratulations, you've unlocked the seal of the Knight's one-handed greatsword."

"You've got a special item: Sword in the Stone (Pseudo)."

After the black qi was destroyed by the white light of the sword body, the gold coin returned to normal, and lay on the ground honestly, no matter how much Zhang Yang trumpeted, there was no situation just now, and the one-handed big sword appeared in Zhang Yang's eyes.

"Sword in the Stone (Pseudo), No. 01045."

"Forger: Merlin."

"Origin: Merlin was a legendary mage, a close friend and teacher of King Arthur, who whimsically tried to recreate a sword in stone after teaching King Arthur to draw a sword in stone, but failed to build it hundreds of times, so he had to give up. And these successive remnants, although not as good as the sword in the stone, but with a hint of Merlin and King Arthur's breath, gradually scattered in the world. ”

"Special Effect: Merlin's Breath Blessing: Holding this sword, you can double the physical damage of a qiē dark creature, and there is a 7% chance to ignore the opponent's defense."

"Please note that Merlin's aura has become weaker and weaker over time, and the stronger the dark creatures, the worse the damage effect."

"Remaining Durability: 73/100 (Special Item, Unrepairable)"

On the central axis of the hilt, six English letters are carved around the hilt, hidden in a complex pattern, and it is difficult to discover the secret without looking closely. When he saw this sword that night, Zhang Yang happened to see the letter M, and after reading it carefully, he found several other letters, which together were Merlin (Merlin).

Zhang Yang showed a hint of a smile.

"Sure enough, it's Merlin! This legendary mage! ”

The name Merlin, I believe many people are familiar with, and it has been passed down through the ages like the famous King Arthur, so Zhang Yang thought it was a rename and a surname, and then heard that the sword and armor were auctioned, so he moved his mind to get it.

Old Adam and his ancestors probably didn't look at this sword carefully, so they gave it to Zhang Yang happily, but there seemed to be a seal before, because the name of the big sword was called the knight's one-handed big sword, until the scene just now, it seemed to break the seal above.

"Maybe that gold coin has something to do with dark creatures?"

This gold coin is lying quietly in Zhang Yang's hand at the moment, and there is no difference between the information shown and the previous one, and it is still a series of question marks.

Zhang Yang thought about it for a while, but still didn't choose to sell it, but kept the gold coin, and after seeing that the sword in the stone had no other reaction, he used a branch to pull the rest of the things, and when there was nothing useful, Zhang Yang was ready to leave.

"Rest in peace."

Zhang Yang drew a cross in front of him.

The cave was covered with thick hay, and the air was very dry, so after Zhang Yang left, he directly set a fire to light the cave, and burned the inside cleanly, and then led the horse away.

"If you can know the way you came, go back by yourself, the place I went to is far away, and I can't take you with me."

Looking at the billowing smoke coming through the hole, Zhang Yang patted the old dog on the head and motioned for it to go back to the town by itself.

"Wang!"

The old dog barked a few times, and then took a sausage that Zhang Yang gave him, and walked slowly towards the town, obviously he was a little resistant to the life of the town, but his body was too old to follow Zhang Yang out of the house, and he couldn't keep up with the speed of the horses.

Watching the figure of the old dog disappear into the depths of the woods, Zhang Yang turned over and galloped along the southern intersection of the three-way intersection.

The scenery of the day is very different from the night, with the scorching of the sun, and the dark breath is suppressed by the greatest dù, huddled in the shadows of the woods, or in the corners of the stones, until night falls, and then envelops the land again.

Zhang Yang rode a group of maroon horses, galloping quickly along the official road, and soon came to the last town on the edge of the black forest, Zhang Yang's costume did not attract the attention of others, and then Zhang Yang casually removed a piece of paper from the wall.

"Wanted."

Underneath the three large characters of the wanted warrant, there is a portrait wearing a mask and a cowboy hat.

"The government has ordered a wanted murderer: Van Hersing, who is involved in several murders, and those who know about it should report it to the local authorities, and those who capture them can get a reward of £500 and those who kill them can get a reward of £200."

Zhang Yang looked at the rough lines on the portrait and sneered, covering a cowboy hat like this, wearing a mask, only revealing a pair of eyes, relying on such a portrait, let alone a year, a hundred years can't catch Van Hesin.

However, Zhang Yang also knew that Van Hesin deliberately hid his lineup, and the so-called murderers were just that after destroying the monsters, those monsters returned to the appearance of normal humans, and those ordinary people who didn't know why thought Van Hesin was a murderer, so they stepped on a big wanted warrant.

"A demon hunter is a demon hunter, what is there to hide? If others knew that you killed a monster, would it still cause the current situation? ”

Zhang Yang did not hide his identity, but publicly admitted his identity as a demon hunter and used it as a job to make a living, this is because he is a free man, and Van Hesin is a Catholic cardinal, according to the canon, Van Hesin can only walk in the dark and destroy monsters, so he will be wronged.

Zhang Yang bought two meatloaf in front of a pie shop, and asked the boss by the way, the boss's face changed after hearing the name Van Hexin, but under the 1 pound bill in Zhang Yang's hand, he still let go of his scruples, lowered his voice and said a few words.

I have a terrible headache today, so I'm sorry. (To be continued......)
