The mist filled the air slightly, and a group of people stood on the platform to say goodbye to each other.
Bundy and Hall took a group of familiar young people to see off Jason and Taniel who were about to leave Lord.
As an 'outsider', Samen stepped aside very wisely.
A considerable distance.
Moreover, he turned his head.
This farewell stage was truly handed over to Bundy and his party.
"Brother Winchester, these two gentlemen have agreed to become consultants to the police station. Lord will be safe. You don't have to worry... Have a good trip."
Bundy said softly as he hugged Jason.
"Um."
Jason nodded.
Bundy let go of Jason and Hall walked up.
"come back earlier."
"We drink...well, Jason, you don't drink."
"Then let's have tea."
Hall said with a smile as he hugged Jason.
"good."
Jason agreed.
Hall slapped Jason on the back hard.
The deputy wanted to say something else, but ultimately couldn't.
Men are not good at words sometimes.
It's not pretentious.
But I really can't say it.
It will only remain buried deep in my heart.
Then, while waiting for someone, he completely exploded.
Even if I cry out loud.
You have to be alone.
This is also a man's romance.
"Everyone, see you later."
Before boarding the train, Jason took off his deerstalker hat and put it on his chest, bowing slightly to say goodbye.
Bundy, Hall, Edge and others returned the favor one after another.
And, watched Jason and his entourage board the train.
Taniel was the last to go.
"give it to me!"
"I will bring Jason back intact!"
Taniel smiled playfully and assured everyone.
The young people believed in this promise and nodded one after another.
Bundy and Hall rolled their eyes at the same time.
"You guy, just pay attention to your own safety and don't cause any trouble to Jason."
Hall stepped forward and punched Taniel hard on the chest.
There was a bang, and Taniel immediately pretended to be in pain, holding his chest and screaming that it hurt.
"It's okay to know that it hurts."
"Be smart. There is no shame in running away when in danger."
"Otherwise, you won't even have a chance to cry out in pain."
Bundy ordered from the side.
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool."
"I promise I won't cause any trouble to Jason."
"I promise that when I encounter danger, I will run away first. If I can't run away, I will pretend to be dead. How about that?"
Taniel smiled and waved goodbye to his two friends.
"not so good!"
Bundy and Hall gave Tanier the middle finger.
Taniel laughed and jumped on the train.
Woo!
The sound of the whistle is particularly loud in Lord's at night.
Tanier waved his hat.
"Wait until we come back!"
The train started slowly with Taniel's final farewell.
Click, click.
After a dozen breaths of acceleration, the train became faster and faster, disappearing into the night with thick steam.
On the platform, Bundy, Hall and a group of young people lowered their waving arms.
Bundy stared blankly at the train in the distance.
"Want a drink?"
Hall came over and bumped Bundy's shoulder.
"Do you think Jason and Taniel will be safe?"
Bundy said in a low voice.
"certainly!"
"That's Jason, the Jason who inherited the 'legacy' of old Jazz and Turcon's bastard."
"He will definitely be safe like this!"
Hall said loudly.
"As for Taniel?"
"He's smarter than we thought, and..."
"shameless!"
"This guy will be fine!"
When mentioning Taniel, Hall's tone became strange.
At the end of the sentence, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Bundy seemed to have thought of something about Taniel, and couldn't help but laugh too.
"Let's go and have a drink."
"Then, continue to rebuild Lorde tomorrow."
"When Jason and Tanier come back, we must surprise them."
Bundy raised his hand and put it on Hall's shoulder.
"Hahaha, of course."
"Let's go to my dormitory. I have wine there."
"If you want cooked meat, go to the food shop and buy some."
Hall laughed.
Although the two of them had quite generous salaries as Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff, as well as the title of Sheriff, they did not have enough extra money to go out for a big meal in a restaurant.
It's not a wanton extravagance.
However, the two of them sent most of their salaries to the families of their former comrades.
Those comrades who are forever buried on the battlefield of East and West Walker.
They support their parents, wives, and children.
This is their promise.
As for regrets?
A man's promise will never be regretted.
Because, if they were the ones who died, their comrades would definitely do the same thing.
"By the way, Taniel said that his teacher would come back to Lorde to help us rebuild Lorde better and protect Lorde."
"The other party will temporarily settle at No. 10 Pea Street."
Hall took two steps and reminded Bundy.
Compared with Bundy, who is mostly serious, Hall and Tanier, who are rough-looking and informal, are more talkative.
“What do we need to offer?”
Bundy asked.
"Food, water, and some sweets."
“The food is on the plain side.”
"If it's water, it's best to add ice."
"Then, don't disturb the other person if you have nothing to do."
Hall said.
"Sounds like a fairly easy-to-get-together person."
Bundy smiled.
"yes."
"It should be pretty good."
Hall nodded in agreement.
Compared to some of the people they had met recently, Taniel, the teacher, behaved quite harmlessly.
Maybe there are some quirks.
But what does that mean?
As long as it doesn't hurt others.
That's harmless.
It's possible to get along.
that's enough.
The group of people left the platform.
On the platform, the lights that had to be temporarily turned on because of the additional trains were turned off one by one.
But it's not dark.
In the distance, at the construction sites in Lord's where people worked overtime all night, the lights were extremely conspicuous in the night.
Just like the stars in the night sky.
The two seem to be echoing each other.
It is both quiet and lively.
The train moving forward in the night broke the silence around it——
A huge steam engine running at full power.
As the famous "Royal" train in West Walker, it is not only fast and safe, but also extremely luxurious inside.
There are six carriages in total.
It includes three accommodation carriages, one office carriage, one banquet carriage and one supplies carriage.
The accommodation compartments are divided into suites, attendant rooms and guard rooms.
The Royal HMS has a total of 24 crew members.
Excluding the train conductor, chef, and waiter, there are only 6 other people.
The remaining 18 are all battle-hardened soldiers with rich combat experience.
And these 18 people are also the most direct security personnel of the "Royal".
“Really good!”
Sitting in the reception area of the suite, Tanier looked at the brass carriage, stepped on the soft carpet, looked at the crystal lamp that was not shaking even at high speed, and then picked it up and put it in front of him.
of drinks.
A drink made of blueberries, lemon and honey - Salmen once asked if he wanted wine, but Jason and Taniel refused.
After picking up two ice cubes from the ice bucket and putting them into the cup, Taniel shook the cup and took a sip before squinting his eyes.
"Comfortable!"
Leaning on the soft sofa that could wrap the whole person, Taniel admired like this.
It's really amazing.
This is not the first time Tanier has taken a train.
However, this is the first time that I feel so comfortable.
In the past, even if you purchased a first-class ticket, more than twenty people would have to squeeze into one carriage.
Even if you buy a special class ticket and have a small box, you still have to face the remaining 3-5 people. Moreover, the box is very crowded, and if someone is smoking, the smell will be even worse.
It is far better to stand in the corridor and enjoy the breeze.
But after standing there for a long time and having to return to the box, the feeling... is really hard to describe.
Therefore, for the train travel that has become popular in recent years.
Taniel has never liked it very much.
However, today's train completely changed his mind.
"As expected of a royal train."
Taniel sighed with emotion and looked at the waiter wearing a white shirt, black vest and red bow tie.
The waiter who brought Jason and Tanier drinks had a polite smile on his face.
"Two distinguished guests, do you need supper?"
"We've prepared steaks and lamb chops."
“The steak is Candel Black Beef Filet.”
"The lamb chops are the Ward Prairie lamb chops."
"Side dishes include salad based on olives and lettuce, mashed potatoes and shrimp."
the waiter asked.
"One... ten copies of the same."
Taniel answered subconsciously, but when he saw Jason frowning slightly, he immediately reacted and spoke quickly.
"Okay, sir."
Although the waiter was very surprised, he was worthy of being a waiter serving the West Walker royal family. He did not show any signs of strangeness on his face. He bowed slightly and saluted, but did not leave immediately.
Instead, a flower was placed on the pillow in the suite bedroom.
The flowers are golden.
There are still water drops on it.
It looks extremely fresh.
It was obviously just prepared.
"Bell flower - the flower of victory, the royal flower of the West Walker royal family, very precious."
Looking at Jason's confused eyes, Tanier explained.
As a 'pharmacist', Taniel has a good understanding of plants.
Jason nodded, and after watching the waiter leave, his eyes fell on Salmen who said nothing.
In fact, just except Taniel.
Throughout the entire carriage, Jason and Salmen remained silent.
Salmon seemed to be thinking.
Jason?
It's observation.
As one of the permanent residents of the 'City that Never Sleeps', it has become almost instinctive to conduct a thorough observation after arriving in a strange place.
This special train appears to be made of brass as a whole.
But that's just an appearance.
There should be steel plates inside, and there should be a certain amount of "mysterious side" blessing.
While making it strong enough, it can also defend against some special situations.
Of course, the most important thing is the security force of those 18 people.
Each one of them is a person with a calm aura and a strong body.
Moreover, each of them should have been 'baptized'. Jason could clearly feel the aura of power belonging to the 'mysterious side' in these 18 people.
There are three of them who seem to be captain-level characters, so they should be ‘professionals’.
I just don’t know what level of ‘professional’ I am.
In addition, there are the conductor, chef and waiter.
When you have the skills of your own profession, you also have a certain fighting foundation.
Just like the waiter just now, when walking, it is silent to ordinary people's ears, and every step is the same size, no more, no less.
It is obvious that the royal family of West Walker is extremely concerned about their own safety.
However, this did not reassure Jason.
On the contrary, Jason became more and more vigilant.
It's very simple. What dangers does this kind of security force resist?
Is it daily?
Or is it a special arrangement?
As for the former, it's easier to say.
If it was the latter, Jason's nerves began to gradually become tense.
Especially when he discovered that Salmen had not said a word since he got in the car, looking like he was thinking.
Boom, boom.
Jason raised his hand and tapped the coffee table in front of him three times.
Immediately, Salmen was awakened.
Looking up at Jason who was staring at him, Salmen immediately showed an apologetic smile.
"Sorry, Sir Jason."
"I just got distracted."
Samon apologized.
"Why are you distracted?"
Jason asked simply.
Such questioning seemed aggressive and extremely impolite, but Salmen did not show any anger. On the contrary, the official showed a wry smile to the person in charge of Lord's 'mysterious side'.
"I'm afraid we're in trouble."
Salmon lowered his voice and said.
Taniel, who was holding a drink and sinking deep into the sofa, showed an expected expression.
"I knew it!"
"It's definitely not good to hang out with guys like you!"
"What happened?"
"You must not tell me that there is a bomb installed on this special train!"
Taniel said angrily.
Taniel has always been very cautious about the official attitude.
Especially after learning about the opposition between the young emperor and Prince Ruitai, this caution has already reached an extreme.
If Jason hadn't insisted, Taniel would have taken his relatives and friends to East Walker.
"That's not true."
"But the security force on this train is more than double that of before."
"Before, the number of security guards on this special train was roughly 6-12 people."
"Most of the time, there are six people."
"There are only 12 people when important royal figures are traveling."
"And now there are 18 people!"
Salmon's voice became lower and lower.
"Does this mean that the little emperor attaches great importance to us?"
Taniel asked rhetorically
"There is no doubt that His Majesty attaches great importance to the two Excellencies, but from the time I applied at noon to now, it has only been 7 hours. In such a short period of time, even if His Majesty wanted to express his grandeur, he could not send such a
Most of them possess 'extraordinary' security forces."
"After all, His Majesty has always had limited control over the 'mysterious side'."
"Even though it has been developing quietly in recent years."
"But it still can't be compared with that Prince Ruitai."
Salmon said it very tactfully.
In fact, in West Walker, the influence of His Majesty the Emperor on the 'mysterious side' is not even one-tenth of that of Prince Ruitai.
after all……
Not everyone has a giant dragon.
"You mean this is the arrangement of Prince Ruitai?"
Taniel looked at his friend Jason and found that his friend still had no intention of speaking, so he immediately asked.
"should be."
Salmen spoke with some difficulty. He apologized to Jason and Tanier again, and said: "I apologize to you two for my previous arrogance. There is a problem in the intelligence network that we are proud of."
Speaking of this, Salmen looked extremely depressed.
It's as if faith has collapsed.
In fact, this is also the case.
The reason why Salmen and his party firmly believe that the little emperor will win is because there are problems in the intelligence agency established by a group of people loyal to the royal family.
Samen was immediately struck.
"I said that the strongest fortress is the easiest to be breached from the inside..."
