Transcendent Dawn Chapter 823: Train
Latest website: Stormwind Mountain Villa.
In the middle of the night, Mary woke up.
Kang Dang! Cang Dang!
In the silence, only the long pendant of the mahogany grandfather clock was still shaking from side to side, and there was a small sound.
She has grown up in this manor since she was a child and knows that her parents love clocks and other mechanical objects.
In the hall of the manor, in the corridors, and in the owner's collection room, what is displayed is not precious antiques, but pieces of machinery.
And all kinds of mechanical clocks are the couple's favorite.
Dangdang!
The bell rang at 12 o'clock.
"Grandma! Grandma!"
Mary called several times, but no one answered.
She got up, in her pajamas, rubbing her eyes.
Outside the door, the orange candle light shined through.
The little girl hugged the teddy bear and sneaked out of the bedroom, perhaps just for a novel adventure, or perhaps just a subconscious stroll.
"The maids, maids, butlers, butlers in the manor... I always feel a little strange recently..."
Mary thought to herself, and walked to a corner.
She saw Bob the housekeeper sitting there, expressionless and wide-eyed, like a puppet.
The little girl was shocked instantly.
After a long time, she gritted her teeth and pushed forward and pushed Bob's shoulder.
Crack!
With this, Bob's head fell off, and gear bearings and spring parts popped out from the joint of his neck.
"Ah!"
Mary was frightened and ran across the long corridor quickly, trying to find her parents.
"Miss..."
On the way, she saw a maid.
The opponent's movement is abnormally mechanical. It seems to be just a clockwork doll, with a crunching sound in the movement of the joints: "Nightwalking is not a behavior that a lady should do."
She reached out her hand, as if trying to catch Mary.
"No!"
Mary dexterously walked around her and rushed up the stairs.
"Go to Mom and Dad..."
The corners of her eyes were full of tears, and she ran out of her parents' bedroom.
The door was not locked, it opened immediately.
Mary stared blankly at the scene inside, and the teddy bear in her hand fell to the ground.
Her father, holding a wrench in his hand, is repairing a huge mechanical doll.
The doll is entirely composed of metal bars and gear nuts, the proportions of an adult, and there is an old woman's head on the table next to it.
"Oh? Mary, are you coming to see your mother? Sorry... she will fix it soon."
Mary's father turned his head and greeted stiffly.
His expression was dull, and the expression on his face seemed to freeze, making a mechanical sound.
"No!!!"
The little girl's sharp voice echoed in the manor.
……
Cang Cang...Cang Cang...
The steam train skimmed over the rails, making a unique clash of steel, occasionally accompanied by a few long whistle sounds.
Jenny trembled all over, as if she had just woke up from a nightmare.
The dim lights, the dim night outside the window, and the drowsy passengers around all indicate exactly that this is a steam train that runs at night—a new thing that has just emerged in recent years.
Storm Mountain Villa is located in a rural area, six or seven hours' train journey from Sealand City.
When you get to the place, you must transfer to a carriage.
Jenny is on the way to get there.
‘I’m falling asleep... Am I too tired lately? ’
She laughed mockingly, and rubbed her eyebrows again, her expression calming down: ‘I’m already a fourth-order saint...Is the sudden awakening just now a spiritual warning? ’
‘I got a lot of ancient documents through adventures, coupled with my own understanding and experience, and deduced the fifth-level integration plan...Why do I still feel uneasy? ’
Originally, according to the orthodox thinking of the Free City Federation, after perfecting the spider stigmata, the bloodline of the Eight-Eyed Demon Spider should continue to be promoted and become a more powerful ancient monster.
But Jenny, who is already mixed with weird blood, couldn't take this path.
Along with the passage of time, she felt more and more the influence of that eye on her.
It is growing madness and chaos, and it also carries the danger of split personality.
Only constant promotion can be slightly suppressed. Even so, there has been a rumor in academia that the inventor of the Jenny steam engine is a quirky and moody woman.
‘This time...it must be successful to get the right monster blood! ’
Jenny made up her mind.
What she didn't know was that just now, two white men in their thirties in trench coats passed by her and came to another carriage.
"Forest Kingdom, a lot has changed... However, the most advanced steam train is our Kingdom of Tallinn, as well as the railway!"
Fitch said proudly.
"These have no meaning..."
Valen said disapprovingly: "Don't forget our purpose this time."
Different from Fitch, who was originally a foreigner, he was considered a ‘traitor’ and acted very low-key: "This time...there is rare news about mechanical wonders, I can’t let it go!"
"Unfortunately, it is not in our country, otherwise it would be much more convenient for manpower transfer...Even in the Free City-State Alliance, you don’t need a great scientist to venture out."
Fitch promised: "But when you get there, there will be a small team of'combat scholars' coming to support you."
"This is what I actively requested. After all... the material is precious and worth studying."
Valen said indifferently: "Besides...I am not weak either."
On his chest, an owl spreads its wings and is about to fly, obviously complete.
"But...you have to assure me that you have given up that crazy idea!"
Fitch suddenly said solemnly: "After completing the stigmata, is it not good to take the orthodox route? The bloodline of the ancient monsters is already very crazy. Don't think about evil things!"
"But... the power of some evil things is indeed very attractive, um... well, I assure you, I have given up on that idea..."
Warren raised his hands helplessly.
……
When the early morning fog gradually dissipated~IndoMTL.com~The steam train also greeted the rising sun and stopped on a platform in a small town.
"Welcome to Stormwind Town!"
A huge slogan was posted above the platform.
Small passengers got off the train.
Jenny was carrying the suitcase, ready to leave the train station, called a public carriage, and suddenly glanced at Warren.
Although the other party disguised a little, she was recognized by her. After all, the person the teacher had specially reminded was the inventor of the steam train, and he was naturally impressed.
‘Why is he here? ’
Jenny diverts her eyes naturally.
At this time, Warren also looked over, but of course he didn't find Jenny wearing the "Pretender" and followed Fitch into the carriage.
