Artificer Adventure Guide

Although there was some unpleasantness because of the phantom spirit before, Carl and Hope were not harassed again in the following days.

Soon, the time came to the day when the Lightning Train was about to depart.

Carl and Hope canceled the room at the front desk, and took the elevator directly to the station of the Lightning Train under the guidance of the hotel waiter.

The ticket inspector will strictly check the ticket and the ticket holder's information. If the identity information does not match, they will not let people enter the compartment.

After showing the ticket, the two were verified by the ticket inspector and then taken to their compartment.

"Huh~, I'm finally going to Eruden, but this way I will be separated from you for a while."

Sitting on the train, Hope looked out the window and suddenly felt an unreal feeling in her heart.

She even felt that all this might be the trick of the Mind Flayer. Carl was fake, and the upcoming trip to Eruden was also fake.

The real her was still trapped in the life support cabin of the Mind Flayer base at this time. Under the bombardment of psychic energy, her mind was distorted and she became a slave of the Mind Flayer.

Everything now is just the last beautiful dream woven by her free will.

"Ha! You only have time to think about these things now. The training of druid apprentices is very busy. Why do you think I didn't choose druid as my first ideal career?"

Thinking of the piles of work for druid apprentices in his hometown, Carl was worried about Hope.

Although the farms in the Eruden Wilderness have introduced various equipment of the strange machine master to assist in farming, the work of taming animals still exists.

You know, the animals tamed by druids are not just ordinary oxen or other docile animals, but also giant eagles, brown bears and other animals.

Hearing Carl's words, Hope woke up from her negative fantasy.

Shaking her head, she looked at Carl with some dissatisfaction.

"Whose daughter do you think I am? In order to survive, I used to fight with wild dogs for food. Don't worry! I can definitely do it!"

With a perfunctory smile, Carl was ready to sit and watch Hope being hit by the boomerang.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Just then, the door of the compartment was knocked. Carl got up and opened the door, and found a big sister about 20 years old outside the door.

She had silver-white hair and pale skin, and her irises were almost colorless. The whole person looked like the color of her body was absorbed by some kind of magic.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

The other party's special appearance made Carl think that the other party was suffering from some special disease. His good upbringing made him take the initiative to ask the other party's purpose.

"Please, please keep this thing for me."

The next second, a train police chased after him. He grabbed the white-haired woman without saying anything and threw her out through the door.

"Sorry, sir, did the person just give you this bag? Can you open it and have a look?"

Watching his other colleagues drive the white-haired woman out of the waiting platform, the train police turned around and asked Carl politely.

But his movements were not polite at all. He directly unzipped the bloated canvas bag.

After opening the bag, a pile of metal parts and artificial fibers stained with alchemical solution appeared in front of the conductor and Carl.

As a mechanic, Carl couldn't tell what it was at the first time.

After checking inside and out, and after confirming that there was nothing dangerous in the bag, the conductor apologized and helped to pack the bag.

"Do you want to keep it?"

"Keep it for now."

The conductor bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

After fiddling with the parts in the bag, Carl, who had no idea, put the bag at the door, then sat back in his seat and talked to Hope about his future plans.

...

"I'm sorry! Red! I hurt you!"

Looking at the lightning train in the distance, tears kept falling from the face of the changeling Cass.

Now this white look is her true appearance as a changeling, and the bag of parts is her war terracotta companion.

A few days ago, she made a last attempt to get rid of the undercover in the police station.

The result was obvious. Her fellow warriors were reduced to pieces, and she herself was like a lost dog, being hunted by the enemy everywhere.

Walking in the waiting hall, Cass looked at the people around her, with a dazed look.

The enemy undercover's men were guarding outside the station.

She didn't know what she should do, nor did she know what she could do.

Revenge for her fellow warrior "Red"?

She wanted to, but the undercover in the police station was now the new leader of the anti-gang team, and she had no evidence to bring him down.

And she herself was only a level 4 wanderer, and it was not realistic to kill him by force.

'Dear traveler, where should I go? Saen, is there still a place for me? '

Walking in the station with a numb expression, Cass walked out of the station with lifeless eyes, and secretly prayed to the god she believed in in her heart.

All changelings are basically followers of the Traveler, because according to legend, the changelings were born from a lone traveler who covered a group of dying children with his cloak.

The traveler is considered to be the incarnation of the traveler, and the changelings are indeed more likely to gain the favor of the power in the traveler's realm.

The gods of Eberron have never really shown their miracles. Most of their deeds appear in the form of legends, just like the Taishang Laojun or other gods in Carl's previous life.

However, like all believers, Cass did not receive any oracle from the gods.

She walked out of the station in despair, ready to face her fate of being arrested.

'At least Hong doesn't have to be buried in this dirty place. '

She comforted herself in this way. At this moment, a woman dressed up in fancy clothes hurried past Cass, and a ticket slipped out of her pocket.

She looked very anxious, as if she was going to deal with something.

The dazed Cass subconsciously took the ticket.

Looking down, the departure time on the ticket was not long after, and the train was the same as Carl's.

When Cass raised her head, the owner of the ticket just turned a corner.

Her profile was clearly displayed in Cass's eyes, and then disappeared around the corner.

Changelings can only change into the appearances they have seen, they cannot imagine what they want to become.

Subconsciously walking into the shadows, Cass used stealth and then changed into the appearance of the woman.

Stepping out of the shadows again, she clenched the ticket, turned around, and ran towards the lightning train that was about to start.

‘This ticket must be a blessing from the traveler! ’

With this thought, Cass returned to the carriage and entered the compartment after the ticket inspector checked it.

To her surprise, this compartment was actually a luxury compartment.

Recalling the clothes of the person who left just now, Cass frowned and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

‘That person is obviously full of fakes, how can he afford a ticket for a luxury compartment? ’

Unlike those of her kind who don’t care about their original gender, as a changeling raised by humans, Cass has a high degree of recognition of her female gender.

Although she needs to change into various appearances for a long time, especially male appearances to complete tasks, she still retains some female hobbies, such as clothes.

In order to be able to match her changing appearance at any time, she is familiar with the trendy brands and popular clothing in Sarn and other regions.

With just a glance, she has already seen that the person who lost the ticket was wearing counterfeit clothes.

And how did a person wearing counterfeit clothes get a ticket for a luxury compartment?
