Chapter 2 Demon Suppression? I'm good at it!
I went out yesterday in a hurry, and I came back in the evening, so I didn't have time to update, sorry.
――――
"Welcome to the world of Van Hesing......"
"The power of darkness shrouded the sky above the human world, gradually eroding the realm of mankind, dark creatures haunted all parts of the world, until a kind of people appeared, they silently eliminated these monsters, protecting the safety of mankind, they are demon hunters."
"This mission is to assume the identity of the original inhabitants of this world, your name: Stan. Li, Identity: Demon Hunter from Huaxia, Current Status: Penniless, because after you finished drinking, you encountered a gang of robbers in the black forest, and they robbed you of your property. ”
"The main task at present: find the male protagonist Van Hesin and increase his friendship to the friend level (60/100) before triggering the follow-up main quest."
"Side quests are currently available: Old Adam's Invitation to Exorcism; The old patriarch of the Adam family, whose house has been invaded by monsters, orders his nephew George to find a reliable demon hunter and finally chooses you. ”
"Please destroy the monster before 12 o'clock tomorrow night, the task reward: 1000 universal points, punishment: 400 universal points will be deducted."
"Do you accept it?"
Seeing this, Zhang Yang also understood what happened to him, obviously the owner of the body he crossed was a demon hunter, but Stan. The name Lee seems familiar.
At present, the main task is to find Van Hesin and improve the relationship with the other party to the rookie level, but Zhang Yang knows nothing about his surroundings at the moment, where can he find Van Hesing?
Zhang Yang remembered that the first place where Van Helsing appeared in the movie was Paris, France, but what he didn't know was whether the time he was in was the same as in the plot.
And that old Adam invited himself to a side quest to slay demons. At this moment, you can choose to accept or give up, obviously to familiarize yourself with the world, if you give up, 1000 general points are not too concerned, you can set off to find Van Hesing, but the next is not bad, old Adam, as the patriarch of a family, naturally cannot be too poor, and he can also take the opportunity to find out some of the surrounding situation, and then decide the next plan.
I thought about it. Zhang Yang chose to accept, and the taskbar quickly turned gray with an unchangeable status, and the system had already tacitly started the task.
After Zhang Yang chose to accept the task, George's attitude was obviously much closer, although old Adam still felt that Zhang Yang was a little unreliable. But his face also looked a lot better, and he didn't say a word to Zhang Yang.
"George. How long do we have to get to our destination? ”
Zhang Yang looked at the black forest that was speeding by outside the glass window. It looked a little scary in the cold moonlight.
"It's almost there, you see, the castle at the end is where our town of Viken is."
George pointed to a view of the castle in the distance, looked at it and nodded, and waited until he felt that he was almost drunk. George handed Zhang Yang a clean set of clothes, which he had left in the carriage for backup, although he had been looked at by the two of them, Zhang Yang was still not used to letting the other party look at him. The two of them turned around before she quickly changed into her clothes.
After changing clothes, Zhang Yang began to talk to George, consciously or unconsciously, this young man was obviously very talkative, and some of the original embarrassment was quickly swept away, because he found that Zhang Yang always listened attentively to his questions, rather than being impatient like his uncle, so he quickly got closer to Zhang Yang.
"This is England, our town belongs to Yorkshire, there are three towns near the Black Forest, our town of Wickken, and the town in the direction of the time, after passing through the Black Forest to the south, and then walking a little further, you will come across a large town, where the mayor rules us."
"Do you have a map of the United Kingdom? Or a map of Europe? ”
"I remember there was a map of Europe, and I'll help you find it."
Under the side knock of Zhang Yang, he soon obtained the information he wanted to know, that he was in England, a place called Yorkshire, and Paris in France, tens of thousands of miles away, and wanted to set off for France, and there was still a long way to go.
Thankfully, the map of the world was almost complete by this period, and the outlines of the main continents had been drawn, but George only had a map of Europe, and a huge hand-drawn map of the world in the castle, in the old Adam's study.
By the light of an oil lamp, Zhang Yang quickly found his location on the map, a county in the east-central part of England, about a two-day drive from London, and to cross the ocean to reach France, he had to cross the English Channel in between.
Nowadays, there are steamboats, but Britain, as the supremacy of the sea, still has quite a lot of wooden sailing ships among the people, and it is no stranger to the Zhang Yang who has experienced the world of pirates in the Caribbean, so it is not a problem to go to sea.
The maps of the present moment are far less accurate than the maps of the future, only simple maps are drawn on them, and the mountains and rivers are marked with special symbols, and only in the hands of governments and aristocratic merchants can they draw accurate maps with contour lines, which are regarded as treasures and refuse to be shown lightly.
"Gentlemen, we are home."
The carriage drove into a small town in the night, and after leaving the black woods, the view suddenly opened up, with ancient European buildings scattered throughout the town, and on the other side of the town, in a low hill, where the Adam family's castle was located.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the castle, the coachman got out of the carriage and called a few times, and several adult men with muskets on alert faces, led by a middle-aged man, came out from behind the iron gate, and only then did they relax their vigilance when they saw the old Adam in the carriage.
"My master, welcome back."
"Thomas, good job, did that monster come to our house today to wreak havoc?"
"Not yet, but it's been three days since the last time, and I think the goats he captured are almost late, and maybe they'll come back tonight to plunder the food."
The middle-aged man named Thomas is the steward of the castle, and has been managing the affairs of Adam's castle since his father, and has won the trust of the old Adam, and George also has great respect for this middle-aged man, and it is more of a sense of closeness.
"This is ......"
Thomas saw Zhang Yang getting off the carriage and said with a puzzled expression.
"This is the Demon Hunter I found, from that magical country of the East, Stan. Lee, Lee, this is the steward of our castle, Uncle Thomas. ”
"Hello."
Thomas showed excellent self-cultivation, took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Yang, since he was his own person, there was no need to be so nervous, waved his hand to let the person behind him put down the gun, and then entered the castle with Zhang Yang and others.
People in European countries seem to be very ignorant of the castle as a kind of security fortress, not only can it shelter from the wind and rain, it is safe and durable, and when the enemy attacks, it can be directly used as a fortress to defend, so during this period, basically nobles and merchants lived in such castles.
After walking in, Zhang Yang knew how huge the castle was, and it was not obvious through the door, but after walking inside, the wide space inside made Zhang Yang, a person who is used to living in modern buildings, feel very luxurious.
The living room was about 200 square meters in size, with a long red carpet on the floor, which stretched to the end of the offering table, on which was a statue of Jesus crucified, and it was obvious that the old Adam was a devout Christian, and when they turned the corner, they came to a smaller living room, and then they were officially seated.
When passing through the corridor before, Zhang Yang noticed that there was a stone statue of a bronze knight not far from the door, wearing a battle armor that was obviously some years old, holding a one-handed sword in his hand, and the horse under the seat jumped high with its front hooves, which made Zhang Yang couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"Well, this sculpture is good, isn't it? It was left by my grandfather, the armor and weapons were bought at auction, and the sculpture was carved by a famous master carver and placed at the door, and I used to run to it when I was a kid and rode a horse, only to be beaten by my father. ”
George walked over after seeing Zhang Yang, introduced the sculpture, and laughed embarrassedly when he talked about his embarrassment.
"Yes, very nice artwork."
Zhang Yang just praised a few words, and did not mean to reach out and touch, he knew very well that there were many complicated etiquette rules in ancient Europe, and he didn't know anything about it, so it would be bad if he caused any trouble.
"Let's go, Thomas has prepared some snacks for us, and I'll take you there."
George walked to the restaurant with Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang glanced back at the sculpture, what George didn't know was that Zhang Yang was not looking at the sculpture, but the suit of armor and the one-handed sword.
After a busy time, several maids took the initiative to retreat after bringing tea and snacks, and closed the surrounding doors, leaving only Thomas and the four to discuss things.
Everyone present has introduced it, and understands that the core of this conversation is to exorcise demons, and this task falls on Zhang Yang's shoulders, Zhang Yang glanced at the three of them, swallowed the mung bean cake in his mouth, patted the cake residue in his hand, and then said solemnly:
"Although I received Mr. George's invitation, Mr. George didn't say what kind of monster it was at the time, you also know my rules, do things first and then collect money, I need to find out some information about this monster before this, not only for my safety, but also for the safety of you employers."
After running all the way for so long, Zhang Yang was already hungry, was stripped naked and thrown into the muddy water, and was rescued and drank some wine, consuming a huge amount of body and calories, that is, Zhang Yang's body was strong and domineering, if it was the original owner, let alone destroying the monster, it was a question whether he could stand firm at the moment.
It is precisely because of this that the old Adam's understanding of Zhang Yang has changed for the better.
The other three glanced at each other, and Old Adam nodded without a trace, obviously these words of Zhang Yang mean that he is not a stunned young man with hot blood, if that is the case, Old Adam will definitely not hesitate to give Zhang Yang a compensation, let him go as far as he wants overnight.
They need to get rid of demons, not to waste their lives here. (To be continued......)
