Mysterious Catastrophe

Jacob had some headaches: "And... the opponent is very likely to burst out with evil spirit level power at any time... It can be regarded as an inhuman combat power or even higher, and it is difficult to be tracked..."

"Moreover, as long as that one exists, we can only track it down, and we cannot take more drastic actions, and it doesn't make much sense..."

Having said that, even the Director of the Investigation Bureau is a little discouraged.

The appearance of the "Eternal Life" is a sign of impending chaos and a huge test for the kingdom and the entire mysterious world!

Chapter 215 On the Train

Woohoo!

The steam-powered black and red locomotive billowed white smoke as it passed on the railway tracks.

This is a special train from Greenwood City to the capital of Invensways—Plmouth.

Inside a compartment.

Aaron and Bruce sat face to face, and Bruce was a little lost in thought as he looked at the rural scenery outside the window.

In name, he went to Pulmouth alone, to inherit another legacy of Clark Dass there.

And after getting on the train, Aaron joined him.

Seeing that Bruce's mood recovered slightly, Aaron also began to talk about other things to divert the other party's attention.

"It's 20 hours from Greenwood to Plmouth, so it looks like...we'll have to spend New Years on the train."

Aaron sighed.

"New Year..."

Bruce recovered from his trance, his expression still a little dazed: "Before you know it, the new year is coming again..."

In the past year, he successfully stepped into the gate 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 that was put aside and glanced at it: "The kingdom has won another brilliant victory in the colony of South Indonesia. It successfully suppressed the three rebellious states and defeated several rebels..."

"Isn't this a normal thing? We, Invensys, are the most powerful country in the mainland."

The corners of Bruce's mouth twitched into a slight smile, with a strong sense of pride.

In today's era, Invensys is the well-deserved number one power in the world!

"Yeah, thanks to the Sun King Arthur, we took the lead in ending darkness and chaos, and ignited the flames of industrial civilization, thus defeating the powerful enemy on the mainland 'Romani Duchy' and the military power 'Iron Sago', and actively Exploring new routes, crossing the dark sea known as the 'Lightless Sea' in the mysterious world, successfully colonizing South Indonesia...and gaining innumerable wealth."

Aaron said emotionally.

Mentioning this, Bruce's expression changed a little. After glancing around, he lowered his voice and said, "According to what my teacher said...'Sun King' Arthur was able to successfully end the domestic chaos because he got the help of a certain old man. Support...and that Si Sui is very likely to have the authority of 'Yao', bestowing the fire of civilization on Arthur, and promoting the development of industrial civilization..."

"Si Sui, who masters 'Yao', is 'Breaking Dawn' or 'Unmelting Ice'? Or both of them support Invensys?"

Aaron said guessing.

"The high probability is 'Dawn', which is my teacher's speculation." Bruce answered in a low voice.

Aaron's expression became slightly solemn.

Among those hidden existences, apart from the former God of Destiny, the one he fears the most is the 'Dawn' born after the fall of the [Scarlet Creator].

'But judging from the relics of that day, the 'Spear of the Sun King' was stained with the blood of Si Sui...I always feel that the relationship between the 'Sun King' and 'Dawn' is a bit subtle. '

He complained silently in his heart.

"Mortals can't harm great beings, so...the birth of that at least 'angel-level' magical item represents Sun King Arthur's betrayal of 'Dawn' in collusion with other Si Sui?" '

The 'Spear of the Sun King', stained with divine blood, is the most terrifying monster Aaron has ever seen, and it can burst out powerful power with just a phantom.

'Of course, if Sistos had not been recognized by the 'Spear of the Sun King', he would not be able to manifest the opponent's phantom even if his spirituality was exhausted! '

'This trip to Invensys, I wonder if there is a chance to play with the 'Spear of the Sun King' carefully? '

Aaron rubbed his fingers, his own "caster" heart was a little ready to move.

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 a regretful face and informed: "Dear passengers, because the road is blocked due to heavy snow ahead, we will temporarily stop at the train station in Yanan Township for a night's rest. Passengers can get off. The train rests, but please board the train before eight o'clock tomorrow morning..."

Bruce squeezed out a smile: "It seems... Even the flight attendants and conductors don't want to spend the New Year on the train... Let's go down for a walk, maybe there will be celebrations in the town."

"Of course!"

Aaron put on his coat and hat, picked up the white crystal 'sword' he made, and walked off the train with Bruce.

As soon as I got down to the platform, I felt a cold wind blowing towards my face.

"It's winter after all."

Bruce sighed, because he saw that the sky was dark, and took another lantern.

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.

"Is it the small town of Yanan? You can hardly find it on the map... It really is a small broken place where you can see the head at a glance..."

Bruce was a little disappointed, but seeing the colorful papers pasted on the glass of every household because of the coming of the New Year, as well as the beautiful celebration trees made of cut fir trees and wrapped with various ribbons, the expression on his face became more smiling: "Go to the bar to drink Have a glass!"

Obviously, there are no high-end restaurants in such a small town, so I can only go to the bar for a drink and dinner.

"Hopefully the local chefs are a little better than the chefs on the train's dining car."

Aaron added with a smile, the two of them mingled with the crowd and walked into the noisy town.

The only bar in the town is brightly lit, and the letters on the signboard have almost faded, and the meaning can be barely read.

"Black Blood Bar?"

Bruce muttered and pushed open the bar door.

A hot current mixed with the smell of alcohol hits the face, and the business in the bar is very good.

Perhaps because of the new year, even the most stingy people will treat themselves to a drink.

In a crowded environment, Bruce covered his wallet and came to the bar with Aaron.

"Happy New Year, what would you two guests like?"

The well-dressed bartender asked with a gentle smile on his face, and recommended: "Why don't you have a glass of 'Golden Mead', a local specialty?"

"Bring me a glass of mead!"

Bruce nodded and looked at Aaron.

"lemonade."

Aaron touched his forehead and replied a little weirdly.

"Hey, my friend, it's the New Year. It's hard enough to travel around... don't you give yourself a little reward?" Bruce asked in surprise.

"No need." Aaron smiled and waved his hands, looking at the bartender with an unnatural expression: "Is there any menu? We want to have dinner here."

"Only 'Haggis', which is also a local specialty, you will definitely like it."

The bartender gave a mysterious smile.

Chapter 216 Ya Nan Town

After a while.

On a small table in the bar, Aaron looked at the 'Haggis' in front of him, and he didn't want to say anything.

This local specialty dish is a dark dish made of minced sheep heart, liver and other internal organs, stuffed into the stomach of the sheep, and finally cooked with vegetables.

As for the taste?

It's hard to say.

'This bartender, is he getting revenge on me for coming to the bar and only drinking lemonade? '

Aaron complained in his heart, put down his knife and fork, and only ate a little bit of mashed potatoes and vegetable salad on the side.

"Hmm...very unique flavor."

Bruce had a good appetite, he ate half of the haggis, and drank half of his glass of 'golden mead' with a grunt. He raised his glass and said, "Happy New Year!"

Fortunately, he still maintained a little rationality, and didn't say anything like he paid for the audience.

Otherwise, Aaron would have to pretend not to know this guy, and let him get drunk and be thrown into the pigsty.

After eating and drinking, Aaron saw that Bruce was a little drunk.

He half-supported each other and found the bartender: "Is there a hotel nearby?"

"We can stay overnight on the second floor of our bar, and we can also call some enthusiastic local girls for you!"

The bartender blinked: "There is another hotel on the left, which is owned by Old Made, and his wife and daughter are also very beautiful..."

"Thank you."

Aaron thanked him and was about to help Bruce out of the bar.

Since entering the bar, with the passage of time, his [danger premonition] has become stronger and stronger.

'But no matter how you look at it, the bartender and the rest of the customers are ordinary people...'

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, grabbed a drunken local man next to him, moved his fingers slightly, and flicked a silver 1 shilling coin: "In this small town... are there any horror legends, or stories about today? Is it a folk taboo?"

"belch……"

The drunk man hiccupped, but quickly put away the shilling, and thought carefully: "Don't go into the forest while singing, or you will meet the fairy in the forest, and she will eat you..."

"Also, don't point the toes of your shoes at the head of the bed at night, it's easy to have nightmares... The rest, I don't know... Hiccup..."

"Also, at the end of the year when the old and the new are changing, it's too late to go out and wander, you will get lost."

Another local next to him added.

"Thank you."

Aaron tosses another shilling and leads Bruce out of the bar.

At this time, night had already fallen, and a round moon with a purple halo hung high in the sky.

"Woo... Aaron... let's continue drinking! Woo... I miss my teacher so much!"

Bruce lay on his side, crying sobbingly.

"Isn't it? A glass of mead is enough to get you drunk? Who gave you the courage to come to the bar?"

Aaron complained, looked around, and found that there was no one outside, grabbed Bruce's back collar with one hand, and lifted it up easily.

"Bruce's drinking capacity doesn't seem to be that bad... Is there a problem here?"

"Go back to the train first."

Holding Bruce in one hand and the lantern in the other, he walked towards the outskirts of the town, where the train station was located.

Although the townspeople say no to wandering around at night, Aaron trusts his instinct of danger even more!

"Staying in the small town seems to be more dangerous? No, if there is danger... so many ordinary people, why haven't they all died yet?"

"Unless... the danger is specifically aimed at extraordinary people? Because extraordinary people have higher inspiration and are more likely to see the truth of the world? Then... rashly opening spirit vision in the small town of Yanan is probably courting death."

It was dark and dense, with only a little light from the horse lantern illuminating the surroundings.

A small voice came from Aaron's ear, as if something gathered from all directions.

The dense fog eroded the light, continuously compressing the light range of the horse lantern, and devouring the light...

He moved his nose and smelled a bit of blood.

The illuminated range of the lantern narrowed again, and a figure appeared indistinctly in front of it.

Aaron took a few steps closer and found that the other party was a male flight attendant, whom he had met once on the train.

"Sir...it's great to see you, I seem to be lost."

The male flight attendant has soft facial features and a high nose. When he saw Aaron, he couldn't help but approached happily: "My light is out, can I borrow a light?"

"what!"

The next moment, he saw Bruce who was being carried by Aaron, his face twisted to the limit, and he let out a broken scream: "Monster..."

The male flight attendant fell to the ground, kicking his legs wildly, and quickly stepped back.

"Ok?"
