The steam-powered black and red locomotive emitted billowing white smoke and passed on the railway track.
This is a special train from Green Forest City to Pulmouth City, the capital of Inves.
Inside a certain carriage.
Aaron and Bruce sat face to face, and Bruce looked out the window at the pastoral scenery, slightly lost in thought.
Nominally, he went to Pulmouth alone to inherit another legacy of Clark Das there.
After getting on the train, Aaron joined him.
Seeing that Bruce's mood had recovered slightly, Aaron also started to talk about other things to divert the other person's attention.
"It takes 20 hours to get from Greenwood to Pulmouth. It seems... we have to spend the New Year on the train."
Aaron sighed.
"New Year..."
Bruce recovered from his trance, his expression still a little dazed: "Unconsciously, the new year is coming again..."
In the past year, he successfully stepped into the door of the mysterious world and fulfilled his long-cherished wish, but he also lost his teacher and best friend.
Aaron casually picked up the newspaper placed aside and glanced at it: "The kingdom has won another brilliant victory in the South Indonesian Colony, successfully suppressing the three rebel states and defeating several groups of rebels..."
"Isn't this a normal thing? We, Yingweis, are the most powerful country in the mainland."
There was a slight smile on Bruce's lips, with a strong sense of pride.
In today's era, Inves is well-deserved as the world's most powerful country!
"Yes, thanks to the Sun King Arthur, we took the lead in ending darkness and chaos, igniting the flames of industrial civilization, thus defeating the powerful enemy 'Romani Principality' on the continent, and the military power 'Tiesago', and actively
Explore new routes, cross the dark sea known as the 'Sunless Sea' in the mysterious world, successfully colonize South Indonesia... and gain countless wealth."
Aaron said with emotion.
Mentioning this, Bruce's expression changed slightly. After glancing around, he lowered his voice and said, "According to what my teacher said... The 'Sun King' Arthur was able to successfully end the domestic chaos because he got the help of a certain Si Sui."
Support...and that Si Sui is very likely to have the power of 'Yao', give Arthur the fire of civilization, and promote the development of industrial civilization..."
"The Si Sui who masters the 'Yao' is the 'Dawn' or the 'Unmelting Ice One'? Or do both of them support Ingves?"
Aaron guessed and said.
"It's most likely 'Dawn'. This is my teacher's guess." Bruce answered in a low voice.
Aaron's expression became slightly solemn.
Among those hidden existences, apart from the former Siming Shen, the one that made him most fearful was the 'Breaking Dawn' that was born after the fall of the [Scarlet Creator].
'But judging from the fact that the 'Spear of the Sun King' in the ruins of that day was stained with the blood of Si Sui... I always feel that the relationship between the 'Sun King' and 'Breaking Dawn' is a bit subtle.'
He complained silently in his mind.
'Mortals cannot harm great beings, so... the birth of that magical item that is at least 'angel-level' represents Sun King Arthur's collusion with other Si Sui and the betrayal of 'Dawn'?'
The 'Spear of the Sun King' stained with the blood of the gods is the most terrifying monster Aaron has ever seen. Just a shadow can explode with powerful power.
'Of course, if Sixtos had not been recognized by the 'Spear of the Sun King', he would not have been able to materialize the opponent's shadow even if he was exhausted spiritually!'
‘When I go to Inves this time, I wonder if I will have a chance to play with the ‘Spear of the Sun King’ carefully?’
Aaron rubbed his fingers, his own 'creator' heart was about to stir.
At this moment, the train slowly stopped at a small station ahead and stopped moving forward.
After waiting for a while, a flight attendant came over with regret and informed: "Dear passengers, due to heavy snowfall ahead, we will temporarily stop at the train station in Yanan Town and repair it for one night. Passengers can get off.
The train is resting, but please board the train before eight o'clock tomorrow morning..."
Bruce forced a smile: "It seems...even the conductor and conductor don't want to spend the New Year on the train...Let's go down for a walk, maybe there will be a celebration in the town."
"certainly!"
Aaron put on his coat and hat, picked up the white crystal 'stick sword' he made, and walked off the train with Bruce.
As soon as I got off the platform, I felt a cold wind blowing against my face.
"It's winter after all."
Bruce sighed and took another lantern because he saw that the sky was dark.
When the two walked out of the train station, they saw a small town not far away. Many European-style buildings were piled up in a mess. The most conspicuous ones were a small bar and a messy market square.
"The town of Ya'nan? You can hardly find it on the map... It is indeed a small, broken place that you can see at a glance..."
Bruce was a little disappointed, but when he saw the colorful paper on the glass of every house because of the coming of the New Year, as well as the beautiful celebration trees made of felled fir trees and wrapped with various ribbons, the expression on his face still became more smiley: "Let's go to the bar to drink.
Have a drink!”
There are obviously no high-end restaurants in such a small town, so we can only go to the bar for a drink and dinner.
"I hope the local chefs are more skilled than the chefs in the train dining cars."
Aaron added with a smile, and the two of them mixed in with the crowd and walked into the town with the hustle and bustle of cars and horses.
The only bar in town was brightly lit, and the letters on the sign were almost peeled off, so you could barely make out the meaning.
"Black Blood Bar?"
Bruce muttered and opened the bar door.
A wave of heat mixed with the smell of alcohol hit my face, and the business in the bar was very good.
Perhaps because of the New Year, even the stingiest people will treat themselves to a drink.
In a crowded and crowded environment, Bruce covered his wallet and came to the bar with Aaron.
"Happy New Year, what would you two guests like?"
The dressed-up bartender asked with a gentle smile on his face and recommended: "How about a glass of the local specialty 'golden mead'?"
"Bring me a glass of mead!"
Bruce nodded and looked at Aaron.
"lemonade."
Aaron touched his forehead and answered slightly strangely.
"Hey, my friend, it's the New Year. It's hard enough running around... why don't you give yourself a reward?" Bruce asked in surprise.
"No need." Aaron smiled and waved his hand, looking at the bartender with an unnatural expression: "What's the menu? We want to have dinner here."
"There is only 'Haggis', which is also a local specialty. You will definitely like it."
