When I woke up, the night enveloped Polnia again. The weather has turned cold recently, and fog filled the air at night, making the whole street look hazy.
Remembering that he had a party to attend, Jiang Chenchuan turned over and sat up, rubbed his hair that was flattened by sleep, stood up, washed and changed clothes.
The whistle of the steam tram was heard in the distance, which made Jiang Chenchuan react. The Dawn Church seemed to have its own express train, which could directly reach the Dawn Cathedral. Gatherings among nobles were always so convenient. With privileges, it seemed like the world was surrounding them. spinning them.
Of course, there is also an express train that will depart from Bridget Manor tonight and go to the factory at the end of the supply chain, passing through Brad Street on the way.
A thin figure, wearing the clothes of an ordinary worker, carrying medium-sized luggage, sneaked up under the cover of night.
The man stood in front of the window, watching the steam rising from the train, and sighed softly.
"The lady is already in the car."
In the shadow behind him, there was an inconspicuous middle-aged man standing, dressed formally and neatly, with slightly white hair. He looked like the housekeeper of the manor.
"Are you sure you don't want to stop Miss? Your Excellency, Duke."
The man who was called the Duke raised his eyes and looked into the distance. The lights near the World Tree were always so bright, as if the bright beauty would continue forever.
"I've been thinking about it these days. My child has grown up and always has all kinds of whimsical ideas. It's not a good thing to keep her at home. Just let her go out and have a try. If she hits a wall, she will naturally return."
Obviously, after a brief moment of anger about Lena's innocent dream, the father also understood that restraint was not a good thing.
"Your Excellency, I have already arranged someone to protect the young lady."
The butler understood the Duke's worries and had already made appropriate arrangements. He had been working at Bridget Manor for more than forty years. He had watched Lena grow up, so he naturally felt a sense of love between family members.
"I hope it won't be long before Reina can come back and take classes, learning how to be a noble lady."
…
Thick white mist slowly rises through the underground pipes. When passing by the tavern, you can still hear the joyful singing inside. The aroma of wine is always intoxicating. The prosperity of the night exists in each small house and has just begun.
The long cry that only belongs to the express train sounded at the end of the thick fog, and the warm air flowed through the streets like wandering souls.
The cold wind was blowing. Jiang Chenchuan held on to his cane and wrapped his windbreaker tightly around him unconsciously. He watched the train slowly stop at the platform in front of him. It was all silver and white, with the license plate of "Dawn" hanging on it.
When the car door opened, he saw a priest in a white robe. He nodded to Jiang Chenchuan. Jiang Chenchuan handed over the invitation letter in his hand. After the priest checked it, he was allowed to board the train.
The door closed, the train started again, and so quietly, it got into the thick fog.
Different from the cold outside, the interior of the carriage is warm and bright. The floor is covered with soft velvet carpets. There is no sound when walking. You can open a separate compartment without anyone at will. It is clean and tidy inside, and the coffee that has been prepared is still steaming. .
Everything is so comfortable.
Jiang Chenchuan was not used to it.
The carriage swayed slightly, and the compartments were probably made of special soundproofing materials. Apart from the howling wind, nothing could be heard. It would still be some time before we could reach Dawn Church. Instead of waiting here endlessly, we might as well go and inquire. some news.
The notebook said he could get clues about "extraordinary things."
When he arrived at the public carriage, there were people in different costumes sitting here in twos and threes. It was more deserted than he imagined. They were eating free refreshments in the carriage and talking quietly.
Jiang Chenchuan found a small corner where no one was paying attention and sat down, observing silently. The high collar of his windbreaker was raised, hiding his expression under the clothes.
"...Alona..."
"The release of "The Book of Dawn"...should require the support...sponsorship of the Knowledge Society..."
"Ride...yes, the cake is delicious..."
"...the Silver Hook Club's competition...the time has been determined...it will probably be held next month...many nobles will be present..."
After listening for a while, most of the conversation was about trivial matters, which made people feel sleepy.
Just when Jiang Chenchuan's mind was empty, someone appeared on the seat opposite him and sat down without saying hello.
"Good evening, sir, you look like you need a chat partner."
The man looked younger than Jiang Chenchuan, probably in his early twenties. He was wearing the most common clothes in Poland. He also had the appearance of a standard British and Northerner. His temperament was nothing outstanding, as if he was thrown into the crowd. , it will disappear.
"public"
This was Jiang Chenchuan’s first impression of Ethan Manstein.
"Yes, waiting for a destined person."
Jiang Chenchuan replied casually.
Ethan smiled heartily and took the exquisite meal from the passing flight attendant's plate. While eating, he looked at Jiang Chenchuan curiously:
"I have some impressions of you. If I remember correctly, it seems... you work in some museum there. The church hasn't called everyone together for a while, and there are many new faces you don't know. Alas, this incident is probably over. , so that you can hold a party with peace of mind.”
"event?"
Jiang Chenchuan captured the new information immediately.
"Haven't you heard? Then you should also know that there are four mainstream churches in England and Northern Ireland. The four major churches manage the beliefs in their own areas without interfering with each other. Not long ago, there was a church in the west that worshiped Alona. There was a riot in the small town, and in the most violent place, even the church was smashed to pieces, and people were killed..."
Facing Jiang Chenchuan's doubts, Ethan was happy to answer them. At a certain point, he came closer and said mysteriously:
"I just learned that in order to solve the riot, the Church of Dawn dispatched the Knights to solve the problem. I heard that the blood of the rioters dyed the white knight's armor red."
"Knights of the Dawn..."
It is the strongest armed force besides the Royal Pure Palace Knights. Therefore, the Dawn Church has unimaginable resources. Even the nobles have to show courtesy to them, let alone those who believe in Alona.
"What happened?"
Generally speaking, it is difficult for riots against churches to occur, especially in areas governed by churches, where the probability of riots is extremely slim.
Ethan shrugged, shook his head and said:
"I don't know. In other words, except for the White Knight, everyone who knows the truth is dead."
"Yeah……"
All dead...
The conversation gradually weakened, and suddenly, the train made a long whistle. Jiang Chenchuan looked out the window. It was pitch dark outside and he couldn't see anything.
"We've arrived."
Ethan suddenly spoke.
As the speed of the train slowed down, Jiang Chenchuan saw a huge silver-white building dotted with lights, protruding from the fog.
Solemn and solemn.
