The sunset in Santinoa is like the spread wings of an angel. The orange-red fire shines through the clouds in the distance. The dark clouds here cover the sky, but there is still a trace of afterglow where the sun sets.
"God will protect us." The man in black uniform murmured to himself. He looked at the sky and felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
"Rumble" a huge roar came from the distant horizon, and the railway track was like a ladder descending from the sky, with no end. The giant steel dragon made a deafening roar, coming from the sky.
Steam train, is this a steam train? The man was a little excited. The legendary steam train built by the master alchemist Albert and his apprentices was like a miracle from heaven.
The emergence of steam devices even vaguely replaces silver mines. After all, no one knows where silver mines come from, even if it is a truly divine creation. But steam devices are different. They only require water. Water
The boiling drives the machinery to work and is known as a "man-made miracle".
The train passed by the man, and the oncoming gust of wind blew him so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. The braking device started slowly, like a cage imprisoning a dragon made of steel.
"Heretical Tribunal, Luke?" A cold voice came from the train.
"It's me, the receptionist, Luke." The man nodded quickly. There was no room for sloppiness. The level of confidentiality on the other side could kill "anyone who is harmful to things on the train" on the spot!
"Mond is dead. He died three days ago. The other side is very difficult. The higher-ups allow us to mobilize a six-winged armor."
Mond... is dead? Luke's brain suddenly short-circuited, that snake-like man is actually dead?
The rear of the train was slowly opening, and the door was pitch black. People always have varying degrees of fear of the unknown. Luke swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyelids twitching at this moment.
His legs were trembling a little, he took a deep breath and stepped forward in large strides.
"Pfft..." The cold sharp blade pierced his chest. In the invisible darkness, someone had been waiting for him. Hot blood poured out of Luke's chest, like a blooming bloody rose.
"Oh, you have to sacrifice blood every time you come out. What a monster, right, Claire?"
In the darkness, a pale man showed a disgusted expression, and beside him was a petite girl.
Pain and satisfaction were intertwined on the girl's face, and her originally fair and cute face turned out to be as ferocious as a demon.
"Go and drink it yourself, disgusting thing." The man withdrew his dagger, and the girl gently closed her eyes, bit her dry lips, and finally leaned forward, and the bright red blood flowed into her small mouth.
Like a bloodthirsty devil.
…
"Naples, how much money do we have?" Xavier looked at how little the three people's luggage was left due to their escape.
"With the certificate from Zoron's treasury, it's about 140,000 gold long." Naples walked to Xavier, looked around, and said softly.
"First hire a carriage, then hire a coachman. Buy some noble clothing. There should be a black market here. Find a black goldsmith to make some family emblems of the local third-rate nobles in Xuansi."
Xavier pondered for a moment and decided that disguising himself as a local third-rate noble would be a good choice, at least it would be better than being upright now.
"clear……"
Naples took it seriously and quickly understood what Xavier meant. He was also proud of his young master's clear mind.
"Who?" Arthur frowned lightly and put a hand on Xavier's shoulder. The hand was very slow and had a huge diamond on it, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was rich.
Even so, one cannot take it lightly. Arthur raised the hilt of his sword and hit the wrist of that hand accurately. The process only took a moment of silver light, and the man could not react at all.
"Ouch!" A painful howl came from below, causing the poor people passing by to look back. The narrow road suddenly became somewhat congested.
"Tsk, isn't that the slave trader Simbuta trying to trick people from the slums again this time?"
"Eighty percent of them are going to the black market. Look at the boy leading the charge. Although his clothes are not luxurious, doesn't he still have the dirty aura of an aristocrat? You can tell it at a glance."
"I heard that I also know that girl Ye Kalina. Maybe he is another young nobleman who was captured by Ye Kalina. Doesn't that damn girl really like this kind of pretty boy?"
The sound came from the dilapidated shops on both sides. The people in the slums watched this scene curiously. At the same time, they also used dirty words to insult the nobles.
"Two pretty boys and one old man. They must be minor nobles below the fifth rank. Even the knight who follows the young master looks so handsome..."
Arthur's hand holding the hilt of the sword trembled slightly, and his eyes were a little angry. At this time, he was a little envious of those adventurers and other free people. At least they could have a good time at this time.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?" Xavier lowered his head quietly and looked at the short man in a black dress.
The tall top hat is twenty to thirty centimeters long. The single-sided golden glasses and the dress buttons studded with diamonds all declare to outsiders how rich he is.
And he should have a good relationship with the residents of the slum. He is dressed so arrogantly, but no one comes to rob him. Either he has a good relationship, or he has a few bodyguards that the poor people dare not mess with. Xavier narrowed his eyes, the former
It's more likely.
"Hey, hello, young master. My name is Simbuta, and I am a businessman. I think you need my products very much, young master. They have no family, and they are not the type to betray." Simbuta blinked.
Smiling all over his face.
"Arthur."
As soon as he stepped out of the tavern door, someone behind him asked the exact same topic. If this world didn't know how to build an electrical system, Xavier would have doubted whether it was bugged!
"Understood." Arthur sheathed his sword, picked up the dwarf man like a chicken, turned and walked into a narrow alley.
The most indispensable thing in the slums is alleys, so some bards said that the slums are like the underground world of goblins. You never know how many alleys there will be in the next place and where those alleys will lead.
"Put me down, young master, you don't want to mess with me here!" Simbuta waved his arms and screamed.
"They didn't come to help you, right? When you helped them, you also hurt them." Xavier calmly stated his suspicion.
"Hehehe, you are indeed His Highness Xavier, Qiangwei was a genius..."
Simbuta smiled evilly, as if he wanted to say something else.
"Arthur, tell him to shut up." Cold eyes shot out of Xavier's eyes, and his patience had been exhausted.
Yekarena made it very clear that she didn't have much time, but she wasted so much time with an unknown businessman! Even this businessman knew her identity, but unfortunately, he didn't understand her character.
Tell him to shut up? This has two meanings, one is the superficial meaning, and the other is a deeper meaning. Simbuta understood, his eyelids twitched, and he immediately made a flattering look.
"Your Highness...oh no no no, young master," seeing Xavier frown, Simbuta immediately changed his words, "We are honest businessmen. Customers are God, we have everything from demi-humans to monsters. I heard that young master is good at it.
We have everything from alchemy to herbal medicine, and I hope the young master will come and take a look."
After saying that, Simbuta glanced at Xavier secretly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course, if you, Master, want to add a maid, our shop also has various types of slaves, which are guaranteed to meet your needs, Master..."
