Chapter 47 It’s a Mule
The limitations of the era make people of this era seem very...ordinary in their views on some things.
They thought that there would be no headless horseman in this remote place. Zheng Yichen was bragging. In fact, there was one. Zheng Yichen thought about how difficult that thing was. If not, Too many words involving the supernatural.
When you encounter the Headless Horseman, you are basically dead. He is immortal while riding a horse, and an enchanted sword in his hand can emit green fire. Who can survive it?
However, in modern times, it is basically a...that's it?
Can a horse's four legs outrun four wheels? As long as the two wheels burn oil, they may not be able to run.
So whether it is powerful or not depends on the development of the times. In this era when carriages and horses are still used for travel, the headless horseman... is quite fierce. If this thing comes to Long City, it must be The best research material in a certain research institute.
The kind where guests are welcome.
Zheng Yichen wandered outside the town twice and even visited the cemetery, but found nothing unusual. After the headless horseman appeared once, he seemed to have no intention of looking for him. , but he wants to find that guy.
He wants new equipment!
night.
"You can attend the banquet." Katrina, wearing an evening dress, found Zheng Yichen and wanted to invite Zheng Yichen again: "And during the day, what my father said..."
"I don't care about that. Once the evidence is obtained, he will have nothing to say." Zheng Yichen said in a relaxed tone. Based on the limitations of the times, there is nothing wrong with the other party thinking that way.
Of course he is unhappy and unhappy.
"Good idea, just find the Headless Horseman and make everyone believe it." Katrina said immediately. Her father didn't believe in the Headless Horseman, and she couldn't convince him that Zheng Yichen had something in his hand. Did a prop record relevant things?
Katrina didn't tell her father about that kind of thing. There was a reason why she was able to quickly come into contact with that kind of thing, but it was different for others.
"That's my business. What you're going to do next is quite dangerous. Don't have too many ideas."
Hearing what Zheng Yichen said, the girl was a little disappointed. Zheng Yichen acted together.
"Go back to your banquet. That place has nothing to do with me."
Judging from the attitude of Katrina's father, he went there just to make trouble for himself. , Zheng Yichen didn't want to take the initiative to go to that kind of place when he had nothing to do. Even if Katrina's father didn't say anything in the past, there might be someone else looking for trouble.
After all, the girl in front of her is already a top-notch beauty in this small town, and she is even more attractive in an evening dress.
"I have attended such banquets many times. The town is so big." Katrina sat down and had no intention of going back: "Can you tell me some stories about witchers?"
"Strictly speaking, I have only been in the hunter profession for less than two months." Zheng Yichen said truthfully. Katrina blinked her eyes and nodded in confusion. It turned out that she was a very kind person. A new witcher? No wonder Zheng Yichen didn't look like the demon hunter they imagined.
"But there are some stories to tell." Seeing that the girl beside him was not planning to leave, Zheng Yichen was not a boring person, so he casually talked about some of his previous experiences. Although the world is different, but The experience of fighting those abnormal creatures was not a problem.
Just don’t talk about the background. His best achievement was naturally the one-horned mule he killed.
“Is this the horn of a unicorn?” Katrina looked at the unicorn that Zheng Yichen took out in surprise. This unicorn was only nearly half a meter. In her eyes, this thing was compared to the Headless Horseman. All are rare.
Unicorns, that is a more legendary existence. At least existences such as the Headless Horseman have witnesses, but things like unicorns are really only found in records. species.
Zheng Yichen actually hunted a unicorn, which even the girl found unbelievable.
“It’s not a unicorn, it’s just a mule.” Zheng Yichen corrected the girl’s wrong view: “The thing with a horn is not necessarily a unicorn, it could be something else. That guy eats meat very much. It is fierce, can kill, and is very cunning. I have suffered losses from it.”
"...You really should be a knight, not a demon hunter." Katrina said this with some regret. To be honest, after knowing Zheng Yichen's story, she didn't think Zheng Yichen said that he hunted a unicorn. There is something wrong with the beast.
The sharp horn in his hand can also be regarded as proof that such a unicorn does not exist in normal creatures, but Zheng Yichen directly denied that it was a unicorn. He was humble and honest. This is not what a knight must do. Is it a good virtue?
"That's not free." Forget it about knights, especially knights from the old era. As for the knights from the new era, he doesn't mind. After all, riding a motorcycle is not a rare thing. A driver's license He has.
"Then we encountered some troublesome things, some evil spirits." Zheng Yichen recalled his previous experience in dealing with evil spirits. It was very dangerous to deal with one-horned mules, but it was not easy to deal with those evil spirits. There were quite a few of those things flying around, ignoring obstacles.
In a sense, it is more dangerous than the one-horned mule. If he did not have a weapon that can cause harm to evil spirits, he may not be able to escape from the southern forest.
"Evil spirits, the kind of wandering dead are very scary." Katrina nodded. Things like zombies and ghouls are okay. Eliminating their bodies will solve the problem. But the evil spirits Things don't have bodies. When fighting, they are in a state where they can attack people but people can't fight back. Some of them can possess people and instigate trust between people.
"You know that kind of thing very well?"
"...I learned about it from the collection of books at home." Katrina said in a panic.
"Oh~ Do you want to watch a movie?"
The girl nodded sheepishly: "Yes."
The movies played on Zheng Yichen's mobile phone were very attractive to her. After watching the movies, performances such as stage plays were much less attractive to her. The performances in the stage plays were considered classics, but the movies were The plot is presented more completely.
Both the scenes and the interactions between people are direct and the same as what really happened.
She loved watching those movies so much, but unfortunately her time was limited, so she only watched a little bit before.
“Do you also think that witches are evil?” Katrina asked Zheng Yichen with concern after watching a fantasy movie.
This movie is about the love-hate entanglement between a witch who has lived for a long time and a person. The witch fell in love with a mortal, but the mortal did not like the witch. The witch hated her because of her love. Mortals have cast spells to turn them into immortal beings. They can only watch the people around them gradually grow old and die without being able to do anything...
