Ronald had never ridden on a steam locomotive from the Industrial Revolution.
But I can guarantee that this trip, which is very new to young people in the 21st century, is definitely not a good outing experience.
Slow speed, boring time, and long supply time after the train arrives at the station.
Everything is seriously slowing down the travel process.
Not to mention the unexpected events that Ronald encountered after the sky began to darken.
——The train actually stopped on a section of track in the wild!
"..."
Ronald, who was sitting on a chair with his arms crossed, raised his eyebrows.
Something's not quite right——
According to the train timetable I inquired about before, the Dongfeng will arrive at Burrenwich in about two hours. This is absolutely unmistakable information.
So why did it stop at this time?
If the railway is congested, the train will stop too early.
If the front end of the car breaks down, there will be no warning signs before.
——So these two assumptions can be eliminated.
But apart from these two situations, is there any reason for a moving train to stop on the railway two hours away from the platform?
This is a steam train.
This is not a children’s bicycle that can be started and stopped at any time!
Even if there is someone lying on the track in front, the train driver will most likely not be able to detect it and drive directly over without stopping.
So the current situation can only be...
"hurry up--"
"You guys stay safe, we're going back!"
"Don't let anything go!"
His meditation was suddenly interrupted by a sound coming from outside.
Turning sideways and looking through the car window next to him, Ronald could see several figures starting to stand still along the railway, obviously wary of something.
"Hey, why did you stop?"
"Young man, come here!"
Someone in the carriage next to him immediately opened the window, and then called out to the alert people.
It's a pity that no one responded.
The dedicated security personnel did not even look at these passengers who spoke in a bad tone.
In the third compartment of this carriage, Ronald quietly watched the scene outside the car. He did not open the window out of curiosity to observe anything.
I just sat on the chair, quietly feeling the uneasiness spreading.
Soon, some uneasy voices began to appear from the next seat:
"Komui?"
"Why did the train stop!"
"My dear, just wait a minute, I'll go out and take a look."
"OMG!"
"Why did you stop suddenly!"
"The train has started so late, how dare they continue to delay it?"
"I'm going to Burrenwich to negotiate a big deal!"
"Does the train conductor dare to take responsibility?"
"..."
A complex sound came from my ears, and there were sounds of opening and closing doors.
Obviously, the train's stagnation made all the passengers on the train unhappy.
After all, these are voices of anger or panic.
It cannot be faked.
However, sitting calmly in the car, Ronald always felt that something was not right.
It's not about the scene I saw in front of me.
He may have forgotten something very important!
"..."
"Why do I suddenly feel like I'm going to be shot?"
Muttering under his breath, Ronald began to sort out the various experiences he encountered after boarding the train in his mind.
In fact, there aren't many things going on.
Escape the fare and get on the bus - see off Nassos - eat in the dining car.
Although there are details in the process, the activity route is basically clear at a glance.
There is very little social interaction with people on the train. The guards checking tickets and the old gentlemen chatting up during meals will not cause any trouble to me.
Now that he was alone, there was no way Nessus could...
etc!
Sitting on the chair in the carriage, Ronald's stiff eyes gradually began to move downward.
Finally, lock it firmly at 35°.
Right at the end of the line of sight, under the chair directly opposite Ronald.
At this moment, a wooden suitcase was lying quietly, and even his towel was taken out of it.
"..."
"Oh, it's over."
In an instant, indescribable emotions welled up from my chest.
Ronald has reason to believe that this suitcase will become his biggest trouble today.
He even had the urge to throw the box right out of the window.
But even if he did this, there were already people standing guard outside.
Moreover, while riding in a carriage, it was impossible for him to distance himself from Nessos.
so......
What did this guy do after he fell asleep last night?
When he woke up this morning, he noticed that Nessos's sleeping position was different from last night, not to mention that his hands had regained all their mobility!
Ronald wished Nessos had done nothing.
But this guy has shown the ability along the way and has a strong desire to get on this train.
They all seem to be hinting at themselves.
There is a high probability that this trouble will happen to you!
"..."
"This is no time for hesitation."
Must take action!
After confirming that there was still no movement on the other side of the carriage door, Ronald bent down and pulled out the suitcase.
Snapped--
Push open the wooden cover, and the contents inside can be seen at a glance.
"..."
"Very...very good."
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Ronald's expression almost twisted into a ball.
If he could, he would very much like to punch Nessus in the face.
There aren't many things in the box.
After excluding the things I took out in the morning, the rest is almost clear now.
Four unused metal capsules, a dagger in a custom-made scabbard, a few used bloody bandages, and a piece of hardened bread.
Finally, it is also eye-catching.
On the right side of the suitcase, there is a very well protected compartment.
There was a blue lady's dress inside.
The texture is soft yet elastic, and the smooth surface can be seen reflecting the luster without treatment. On some exposed open back parts, simple yet luxurious textures decorate the corners of the dress.
Ronald can guarantee that judging by his eyesight, this is the most valuable piece of clothing he has seen since time travel.
Not to mention the passengers in the high-sounding luxury carriages outside now.
Even if we take the dress from Ronald's ancestral home, I'm afraid it can only hold up a skirt.
"You guy..."
Bang bang bang——
"Open the door!"
"examine!"
Don't wait until Ronald continues to accuse Nessus of leaving him in big trouble.
There was a rapid knock on the door and a man's order with a bad tone.
Immediately, another man shouted in panic:
"What are you doing? I'm a legal resident of Burrenwich!"
A majestic and calm male voice appeared outside:
"Routine inspection."
"..."
"Please...please..."
The inspection of this carriage has begun.
But luckily among misfortunes.
The compartment where Ronald is located is the third one in the carriage, so it will take some time for the inspector to arrive.
Now, prepare yourself for trouble!
call--
Suddenly, a sourceless wind blew through the closed compartment.
On Ronald's wrist inside his sleeve, the funnel-shaped mark representing the Divine Comedy faintly flashed.
