I, Doomsday, Have Spent 100,000 Years in the Core of the Sun - Chapter 343
c343 Chapter 343
“Where’s my money? Do you really treat me like a fool?” Lu Yuan was about to curse, or rather he had finished.
Shet.
Where’s the promised money?
Although he doesn’t care about money, he regrets what he promised. This is not okay. Who are you looking down on?
It really kills you.
Van Helsing slapped his head and quickly turned to the cardinal and said, “By the way, I promised to give that person the previous bounty.”
The cardinal looked at Van Helsing in surprise: “Do you think it’s necessary for me to bring money while I’m sitting here?”
What do you think? Ask him for money? He is sitting in the confessional and forgiving others on behalf of God. How could he bring dirty money?
“Someone will give it to you, okay, go, go,” the cardinal said, chasing the two away like ducks.
Fan Hexin came to Lu Yuan helplessly and tilted his head: “Follow me.”
Lu Yuan snorted. In fact, he had already seen the inside and outside of this place, up and down.
Even when he came here, there was a touch of divine and extraordinary will. What the cardinal didn’t know was that the God he believed in had actually come at that second.
It just disappeared the moment he came into contact with Lu Yuan.
I don’t know if it was taken back or if it simply disappeared into ashes.
It’s not that God is that weak, but that he has a ray of consciousness.
All this was done quietly, not even Van Helsing knew.
Otherwise, I don’t know what he would think. Maybe he would be able to think of his previous life as an angel when he got excited?
Lu Yuan didn’t know and was too lazy to care about this little thing. Following Van Helsing’s lead, the two of them came to the back of the cathedral.
Not all of the huge St. Peter’s Basilica is open to the public, at least not now.
Since there are vampires and various monsters in this world, it means that this is a mysterious world where supernatural phenomena and creatures do exist.
In this case, of course it is very sacred here, and even God exists.
Similarly, behind St. Peter’s Basilica, there is a secret place where the headquarters of the exorcists responsible for the entire Western world is located. It is also the holy place for all fanatics around the world.
Equipment including exorcists can also be crafted here.
There are also people who are specifically responsible for designing those things, such as one of them, a middle-aged man who wears glasses, looks slovenly and neglected, and looks like a tech nerd at first glance.
“Hey, Van Helsing, I knew you would come back safely. How about it? Have you successfully solved the trouble?” The technical geek even took the initiative to greet him. It seemed that he knew Van Helsing.
Van Helsing also said hello to the man: “Hello, Carl. You seem to be tinkering with something again?”
The reason why I say this is because Karl is busy with something, but this is the nineteenth century after all, and many things are too old, outdated and backward.
Lu Yuan stood there and stared for a long time. In the end, he was so stunned that he couldn’t understand.
He was a man who had already flown an alien spacecraft, and suddenly one day he was faced with a repeating crossbow, and anyone else would be confused.
624. Make some weapons and equipment
Karl, he is a technician here, and you can tell by his appearance. Although he has some skills, he is a bit of a homebody.
Then he seemed a bit unpopular here. The reason was that when Lu Yuan and Fan Helsing came in before, they happened to see him flipping something, and they almost got into trouble.
Even now.
“Anyone can do this kind of thing.”
Carl muttered.
A bearded man immediately stood up in front of him, holding an unfinished long sword with a red and hot tip in his hand, staring at Karl.
“Of course not everyone can make swords, right? Father?” Karl immediately rounded up his words.
It turns out that the other person is still a priest, but he looks more like a butcher.
Lu Yuan shook his head in amusement, such a arrogant guy could hardly be beaten to death.
Why do you provoke others when you have nothing to do?
In fact, Carl was deliberately belittling others in order to elevate himself, because the exorcist he was most familiar with was Van Helsing, and only Van Helsing always used his equipment.
If Van Helsing sets his sights on someone else’s stuff, he’ll be completely useless.
“Okay Carl, I’m going to learn something next. By the way, this is my friend, please take care of him.” Van Helsing left Lu Yuan with Carl, and then he continued walking inside alone.
The cardinal just told him the next task, but he didn’t say the exact location of the next task. Van Helsing needed to find out.
Lu Yuan and Karl looked at each other with wide eyes.
“By the way, let me show you something good,” Karl immediately greeted Lu Yuan warmly, took him to his stall, and then pulled out a repeating crossbow and handed it to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan held it in his hand, looking confused.
Do you really want to give him a repeating crossbow?
But he has even seen a sniper rifle. Who in the modern world would play with this?
Following Karl’s instructions, Lu Yuan realized that this repeating crossbow was not simple.
First of all, this repeating crossbow uses a magazine device.
Yes, it is incredible that a repeating crossbow even has a magazine.
Maybe Carl is a genius?
But there is a reason for this. As an exorcist, Van Helsing said that most of the enemies he had to face were monsters, so the crossbow arrows he needed were not ordinary ones, but specially made ones.
For example, the kind made of silver, or the kind sprinkled with holy water, preferably the kind that has been blessed by an archbishop-level priest.
This can’t help but remind Lu Yuan of the arrival of Constantine, that is, Zha Kang.
That guy was obviously a wizard, but he ended up carrying a bag of holy water to exorcise demons every day. He was like no one else.
Lu Yuan fiddled with the repeating crossbow for a while and then returned it to Karl without any interest.
Karl quickly took out more things.
For example, there are silver swords on a shelf not far away from the wall, with dozens of them standing inside.
“Look, there are silver wooden stakes (are silver ones still called wooden stakes?) and crosses. How many do you want?” Carl enthusiastically pushed these to Lu Yuan, while secretly looking around and whispering. Said: “Don’t refuse, it’s okay even if you use this thing to finance and spend it as money.”
After all, it is made of silver, so it is okay to use it to exchange for some money at critical moments.
Lu Yuan felt dumbfounded.
Has he fallen to this point?
What worried Lu Yuan even more was that Karl also showed him a machine gun.
That’s a Gatling gun.
It’s just that the current Gatling is still very bulky and looks like a cannon.
In fact, Gatling was originally called Gatling gun, and because the name of the person who developed it can also be transliterated as Gatling gun, it is also called Gatling gun, Gatling machine gun, etc.
Lu Yuan unexpectedly discovered that this place was actually quite interesting.
Finally, Fan Helsing came back and threw a bag to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan used the hand cushion, which was pretty good. He finally got the money.
As for which is more, the money or Van Helsing’s head, I don’t know.
He was too embarrassed to kill Van Helsing anyway.
“What are your plans next? You also know that I have received a new job. If you have nothing to do, you can come with me,” Fan Hexin invited Lu Yuan.
After all, he had seen Lu Yuan’s strength and knew that he was a powerful helper.
Lu Yuan thought for a while: “I have to pay more, and my opponent is that Bogula.”
“It’s Count Dracula. Well, I can give you all the bounty this time,” Van Helsing said happily.
Lu Yuan was a little surprised: “Then your trip was not in vain?”
Van Helsing shrugged, seemingly unwilling to explain further.
In fact, he was told that his lost memory might be able to find some clues there, so even if there was no money, Van Helsing had to make a trip.
Lu Yuan didn’t know this and didn’t want to care. He thought about committing crimes and had nothing to do. Why don’t he come here for the purpose?
“Well, since you are so generous, it seems that we have to act together again,” Lu Yuan put away his money bag and agreed decisively.
Karl was surprised: “`ˇYou mean Dracula? The legendary vampire count? Oh my God, you actually want to fight against that kind of monster?”
It seems that Dracula’s reputation is really great, and even this technical geek knows how scary he is.
But for Lu Yuan and Fan Hexin, they didn’t care at all.
Then Van Helsing began to choose weapons. He was strongly recommended by Carl that repeating crossbow because it used a magazine device. Not only was it easier to change the magazine, but he could keep shooting as long as he held the trigger.
Who would have thought this was a fully automatic or semi-automatic vehicle?
Van Helsing was quickly put on all his equipment by Karl, and finally looked at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan took out a cross from his collar with his right hand. He pointed at a sword slung around his waist with his left finger. There was actually a silver spike hanging on the belt on the other side, which was the so-called silver stake. .
Why use this thing?
In fact, we have to start with the origin of the prototype of Dracula (good money). As we all know, the prototype of Dracula is Vlad III, the famous Archduke of Impalement.
Because the Archduke of Impaler liked to impale his enemies alive with wooden stakes, he was rumored to be a vampire. In fact, this was of course a slander.
No matter how terrifying the Impaler was to his enemies, he was a genuine Romanian hero. He was also a believer and fought to protect the church.
It’s a pity that he lost in the end, otherwise the Impaler would only leave more horrific legends.
For this reason, it seems that this setting has been added to the vampire story, saying that vampires are most afraid of a wooden stake piercing the heart, and they will die immediately.
As for whether it is true or not, who knows, after all, there are no vampires in the real world.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was also ready, the two said goodbye to Karl and were about to leave for Romania.
The next thing they have to face is the legendary vampire Dracula.
625. Ancient Town in Transylvania
Setting off from St. Peter’s Basilica to their destination, Lu Yuan and Fan Helsing chatted on the roadside.
Through Fan Helsing, Lu Yuan also learned many interesting stories about the Exorcist.
For example, there are indeed many dark creatures in this world, such as gargoyles. During the day, those things are no different from ordinary stone statues, as if they are carved from stone.
But once someone passes by it, its breath will be recorded, and at night it will fly to your house to absorb the essence.
That thing doesn’t need to be eaten, but it can achieve a cultivation-like effect by absorbing a certain kind of human blood.
There are still werewolves in this world, but they are not naturally formed, but monsters developed by wizards.
The most important one is the vampire. Count Dracula is of course the most famous vampire. He became a vampire by betraying God.
This is very serious in the West.
Unlike the legendary vampires who are afraid of garlic, Fan Helsing told Lu Yuan that garlic just makes vampires bored and they don’t like the smell.
Even powerful vampires cannot be killed by wooden stakes and can only be suppressed by silver weapons or crosses blessed by priests above the bishop level.
“What about the holy water?” Lu Yuan showed a thoughtful expression.
Van Helsing on the side shrugged: “Holy water requires a priest above the level of a cardinal to consecrate (make) it.”
This means that holy water can be used to deal with vampires, but the method of making it is more troublesome.
A cardinal is already the highest ranking person below the pope.
There is only one pope, and he still has to sit in St. Peter’s Basilica.
So in other areas, the cardinal is already the local pope.
But this time Van Helsing returned to St. Peter’s Basilica, so a batch of holy water was added to his body.
