113. Twenty-four years ago street scene

Rescuers coming along the railroad found the stranded Wozturk in the morning.

It is composed of a three-person team from the Inquisition and one Privy Council Advisor.

When they arrived, snow had already covered the ground, and the weather was unlikely to improve in the short term. After meeting Lu Li, they chose to take Lu Li away from the Wozturk and return to the nearest town of Surg.

Other passengers hesitated to follow, but the captain ordered the workers to rush back to the carriage.

Passengers leaving without permission can cause panic due to the avalanche effect and cause problems for the exorcists.

Lu Li and the rescue team walked along the railway track into the wind and snow amid the consoling shouts of the conductor, "The VIP carriage is absolutely safe and carefully carved by Master Proseus."

The Evil Fall retracted his features. With the eyes of the Inquisition Guards present, he could live idle for a few more hours.

The three Tribunal Knights reminded Lu Li of the Night Watchmen, who were silent, quiet, and obeyed orders.

The badges worn on the thickened robes are different. The eye-shaped badge of the knight who wears goggles to observe the surroundings, the head silhouette badge of the knight who talks the most and often gives orders, and the blank badge of the knight's retinue who carries a large backpack like a businessman.

.

The Steam Knight with the fist badge representing fighting is not here.

The equipment of the powerful steam knight is not suitable for participating in quick rescue.

The Privy Council Counselor kept trying to talk to Lu Li, mostly related to him and his superiors, or how worried Mayor Mateus was about Lu Li's safety, or because they came as fast as possible and almost encountered strange things during the process.

However, Lu Li's silence was thought by him to mean that he had no intention of talking, and he soon became quiet.

"Is the scene in the fog real or a weird disguise?"

Psius, troubled by doubts, couldn't help but ask, leaving a line of shallow footprints in the snow with his paws.

Before Lu Li answered, Catalina said to him: "Don't think about the weird things you encounter, it will drive you crazy. You are already a mutant, don't make yourself weird again."

Weirdness is like a whirlpool. The longer you are entangled with it, the deeper you fall into it.

Pusius knew this, but he still couldn't help but recall the sunlight pouring into the carriage.

Brighter than flames, warmer than flames, more real than words, containing strength and vitality...

Pusius raised his face and stared at Lu Li's back, seeming to be thinking about something.

Advancing along the railway track, an hour later, footprints similar to Pusius's footprints, but larger, appeared in the snow ahead.

Maybe it's a wild wolf in the woods, or maybe it's the weird footprints that look like wild wolves.

The footprints crossed the railway and penetrated into the withered woods that blocked the view to the south.

Just in case, they speeded up and passed through this area. The consultant gritted his teeth and followed. He sat in the Privy Council Office all year round. A few days ago, Lu Li ran to Majiao Town to investigate, and now he was forced to walk dozens of miles to rescue Lu Li.

road

He felt as if a stone was poking his footprints in his moccasin boots every time he stepped on it.

This ordeal lasted for two hours, and they returned to the town of Surg before evening without incident.

Leaving the platform, the consultant commandeered one of the most gorgeous buildings in Surg Town.

Facing the big shot from the port of Wiener, the local wealthy man did not hesitate to choose to vacate the best room. The consultant also regained the arrogance caused by the status gap and ordered the owner of the house to prepare clean clothes and food.

Kill a few of the only chickens in the town of Surg, stuff them into the oven with spices, and get at least twenty years of red wine from the mayor's cellar. There is nothing else the advisor can find in Terminas.

The only first-class food in the standard.

Even without Lu Li and the Inquisition Guards, this dinner was very simple for a Privy Council Counselor.

"We practically grew up hearing your stories."

The Privy Councilor, who is no longer young anymore, toasted to Lu Li.

The mayor carefully held up his wine glass, feeling honored to participate in the dinner.

The three knights of the Inquisition and the retinue did not pick up the wine glasses. They seemed like outsiders who did not participate in the dinner, except for the eating itself.

Just as Lu Li thought, they were like night watchmen who abide by their duties.

Only the young knight knight glanced at Lu Li a few times, paying special attention to the conversation at the dinner.

Outside the window, the houses stretched out with lights on, and snowflakes could be seen passing by.

The snow was falling harder and harder, and there was almost finger-width snow on the ground.

This snow has almost cut off the town of Surg from the outside world. In other words, every town connected by the railway has returned to its original isolation.

After dinner, they went back to their adjacent rooms to sleep.

The Knights of the Inquisition did not leave.

Their mission is to protect Lu Li and escort him back to the ice-free port of Weiner.

The heavy snow stopped at dawn the next day and was half a hand thick. It was quickly cleared by the enthusiastic mayor and wealthy people. The snow on the streets and rooftops in the distance proved that they had been there.

The dark clouds showed no sign of abating, and occasionally brief snowflakes fell.

The temperature did not rise again.

The unfortunate Catalina suddenly became lucky. After driving dozens of miles in the snow, her cold was almost cured after a night's rest. Only her nose was still a little blocked and she spoke in a muffled voice.

Only sometimes Catalina would hold her belly in discomfort.

They were forced to stay in the town of Surg for two days.

On the third day, the remaining life of the villain was probably less than 72 hours, and the snow on the roof melted quietly.

The temperature returned to above freezing and the railroad melted.

A nearby steam train arrived at the town as quickly as possible and boarded Lu Li and others.

During this period, the train stopped briefly in Horse Foot Town to allow the steam riders to board the train.

Through the carriage, they saw the powerful, beast-like steel armor.

The armor was as thin as a newspaper in front of it.

The unactivated steam armor lowered its head, as if sleeping. Four workers worked together to put it into the cargo compartment on a cart.

After leaving Majiao Town, the steam train skipped the stations along the way and went directly to the ice-free port of Wiener.

Traveling at great speed, they returned to the ice-free port of Vina the next morning.

The magnificent scene stretching to the bay under the gloomy clouds made them feel like they had returned to civilization.

But there seemed to be more pedestrians on the platform at the Wiener Port than all the people they saw in the towns and villages along the way.

No longer covering up the momentum, the city hall guards were waiting outside the platform. Many citizens were lucky enough to see the exorcist, but they just wondered why he came out of the platform.

Lu Li asked about the Wozteq and got the news that they had returned. Except for the people who were lost in the mist, everyone was alive.

At least that's what city hall officials say.

Upon arriving at the city hall, Mayor Mateus came out to greet him. Lu went straight to the point and asked for information about Anna and Belfast, as well as the repair status of the ship.

"You're leaving again, aren't you..."

Mayor Mateus had a premonition of this and sighed: "All the leaks have been repaired, but they have not been renovated."

"That's enough."

Received by Anna and about the situation in Belfast.

Lu Li and others rushed to the ship repair yard and boarded the ship.

As Mayor Mateus and many citizens watched, the ship carrying the last exorcist rolled up countless whirlpools and gradually moved away with dark clouds on its back.
