Book of Gods and Demons

September 27th, night.

To the south of Hyderabad, the imperial capital of the Durham Empire, Ruhr is the capital of the Empire.

This is the most traditional and important coal and metallurgical area of ​​the Durham Empire. Sixty percent of the swords and weapons of the Emperor, seventy percent of the artillery, and almost all the new flintlock rifles are produced in Ruhr City.

The new gas lamp is extremely bright. The mercury glass concave mirror with a diameter of more than ten feet erected behind the gas lamp converges the white light of the gas lamp into a beam of light and sweeps around, like a long sword in the hands of the gods, tearing the night through.

To the east of Ruhr City, in the huge railway station, the platform dedicated to the royal family was illuminated by a dozen beams of light from far away and gas lamps hanging from the beams of the platform.

‘Boom Chi~ Boom Chi~’!

The locomotive with the royal emblem spit out hot white steam and slowly slipped into the platform dedicated to the royal family.

The two huge steam locomotives at the front and the rear opened the valves at the same time. With the dull long whistle, the white gas spread everywhere. The squally wind mixed with the heat stirred up the clothes of the staff on the platform, making them subconsciously reach out and cover it. The big brimmed hat on the head.

The central carriage of the royal train was decorated as a fully functional suite. In the frugal furnishings and heavy-hued suite reception room, Siac was sitting on the sofa with a book on his knees, his head sideways through the glass window, Observing the movement on the platform.

Lilith sat opposite Seak, looking a little anxiously at the large badges of gears, steam hammers, and blazing furnaces hanging on the platform, representing the Ruhr City region.

"I'm in Ruhr City." Lilith's face was a little pale, and she looked at Seak directly: "Your Excellency, in three days, we will return to the imperial capital... We..."

The train had stopped, and the workers on the platform went down to the railroad track, holding a small hammer, and banging the train's wheels and load springs vigorously, and the crisp sound of ‘jingle’ rang intensively.

On the platform, there are mechanics checking the status of the steam locomotive heads, and water supply workers are busy filling the water tanks at the head of the locomotives and replenishing the water tanks of each car with fresh water.

There are even cleaners who are busy. The garbage on the train is cleaned out in bags. Some workers are busy cleaning the dust and mud outside the train with buckets, mops and rags.

A four-wheeled trolley was pushed over, and the chefs and waiters on the dining car greeted them. Semi-finished delicacies of various colors, such as marinated lamb chops, steaks, bread embryos that are only waiting in the oven, various exquisite dessert cakes, and boxes of fine wines, etc., are sent to the special train warehouse like running water.

Seak looked at the busy crowd on the platform in a daze, and when he heard Lilith's nervous question, he suddenly laughed, and then patted his chest lightly.

Near his chest, a void of several feet in diameter was slightly distorted, as if there was a completely transparent wave in front of him. Because of the agitation of his palm, this wave of water caused ripples and whirlpools, which suddenly appeared. Trace.

"Lilith, believe me, the words of an old man who has some experience in the officialdom of the empire." Siacques smiled calmly: "This time, we have no dangers, and we may even get huge awards."

Lilith looked at Seac in disbelief.

She can be regarded as an elite talent of the young generation of the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters, but compared with old fried dough sticks like Seak, there is no doubt that she looks much immature.

Take the royal train from Tulum Port all the way to the north. The closer to the imperial capital, the greater the psychological pressure on Lilith. Since the night before yesterday, she has been unable to sleep with her eyes closed. As long as she closes her eyelids, she seems to have seen Margaret III's gorgeous and extremely stern face.

She worried all the way, but Seak was so calm and calm?

"But..." Lilith looked at the smiling Seak, feeling a little annoyed... The feelings of her anxiety along the way were all in vain?

They have committed such a serious fault!

"Young man, experience more, it will be good for you in the future. I saw your anxiety along the way, I didn't specially remind you." Seak smiled and said with a trace of pride: "As an intelligence officer of the Intelligence Headquarters, occasionally Accepting some psychological stress training will be good for you in the future."

Picking up the coffee cup on the small tea table in front of him, Seak took a sip of a slightly cool espresso.

"We made a mistake. We let His Majesty roar and roar in front of so many important imperial officials. It seems that we are inexcusable and we are dead!" Seak looked up and down Lilith with an inexplicable smile.

"But, I know the temper of our respected Queen, she is a pragmatist through and through, through and through... We made a mistake, yes, we made a mistake; we violated the rules, and yes, we did Did not act in accordance with the formal intelligence transaction process."

"Even this transaction, the ins and outs of the funding, it is difficult to explain clearly...600 million gold marks, the great Mu, this is a terrifying number."

"But so what?" Seak triumphantly touched the few hairs on his scalp: "We brought the Chapter of Wall back to the imperial capital... We brought back the Chapter of Wall, your majesty will only Remember this!"

"As long as it is beneficial to the strategy of the empire, Her Majesty will forgive us for all our sins!"

"It's just a few ordinary citizens who died, there was a little conflict with the church, and a little larger amount of operation funds... and some minor violations that were innocuous."

"But, this is the chapter of Wall!"

Seak lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "The chapter of Wall that has made Her Majesty the Queen chant for nearly sixty years... It is said that the chapter of Wall that hides all the secrets of the highland wolf king Wall... It is said that it can be let The secret of the Great Swamp Shadow Wolf, from the fifth rank to the sixth rank, is also the chapter of Wall!"

With an astonishing cold gleam in his eyes, Seak smiled triumphantly. He even reached out his hand, crossed the small tea table, and lightly patted Lilith’s palm on his knee: "Imagine if you use the Wall's Chapter , We severely damaged the highland wolf king Wall, and the frightening wolf cavalry in the Highland Kingdom has greatly reduced the combat power."

"Imagine again, if we open up the sixth step of this sequence on the fifth step of the Great Swamp Shadow Wolf...Among the emperors, how many generals trapped in the fifth step would be grateful to us? "

"Break through the fifth step, reach the sixth, even the seventh... Chapter of Wall, there is such a power!"

"Extraordinary power, Tier 6, Tier 7... This is not just power. For some big figures in the empire, power is of no use to them. But what comes after that is life. Youth is a beautiful life!"

"Think about it, an old general who is hanging down and has to be assisted by a maid to go to the bathroom. He broke through from the fifth to the sixth. At the age of ten, he suddenly returned to thirty. , Forty-year-old peak physique..."

"To the empire, to himself, how important is this?"

Sijak's old palm covered with age spots was pressed heavily on Lilith's brilliance and fair palm. He smiled and smiled at Lilith who looked dazed: "Your Majesty, only pays attention to results and never cares about the process."

"When we return to the imperial capital, we will have a period of time under house arrest, isolation, and no contact with outsiders. But as long as the empire finds any practical benefits from the Chapter of Wall, we will immediately resume our duties, even Go one step further."

"Our boss, dear Deputy Minister Bruto, he may receive some substantial punishment. After all, the huge sum of 600 million gold marks... It is impossible to explain the source of this huge sum of money in any case."

"But believe me, he may lose his position as the second deputy minister of the Intelligence Headquarters, but his title is likely to be promoted. Then, there will be a relatively easy idle job for him to transition for a period of time, and then he will be placed more important. In the post."

Seak slapped Lilith's palm triumphantly: "Believe me, I have served our Queen for decades. She is such a person, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to how shameful you used, as long as the last The result is good for the empire, she will do whatever it takes!"

Lilith nodded as if suddenly realized, she smiled, holding Seak's old palm with both hands.

"Your Excellency Seak...I..."

The lights on the platform were suddenly extinguished~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Whether it was the gas lamp hung on the pillar beam of the platform or the dozens of light beams from a distance were extinguished at the same time, only in the carriages of the special train, the lights were dimmed. Light.

There was a strange cold air current in the air rising on the ground, and the lights in the carriage suddenly turned into gray-green, and then quickly shrank, and it was suddenly extinguished in just a few breaths.

In the two cars on the left and right, officials of the Supervision Department and military masters sent by Duke Viglar and Duke Ross to ‘escort’ Seac and Lilith all the way yelled at the same time-‘enemy attack’!

On the platform, those four-wheeled carts full of fine food exploded at the same time, and the huge roar shook all the windows of the train at the same time.

In the fire, a large number of special train personnel who got off the train to rest were blown to pieces.

In the air, large swaths of phosphorescence were falling like powder on the wings of moths, and there were pointed and thin piccolo sounds like hooks in the distance.

The piccolo sound was originally a mile or two away from the platform, but it came to the platform in an instant.

A twisted, sticky, stinky breath enveloped the entire platform, and the people on the platform and in the train subconsciously pinched their throats with their hands.

The biting darkness struck, and everyone screamed in horror in unison.

In front of them, the most feared thing in their lives appeared at the same time... After the strange existence that twitched, twisted, and swayed, it was a huge black shadow...

Twisted, rotted, depraved, decayed...with a chilly breath, with a rancid smell...

Endless fear struck, and the muffled sound of ‘bang bang’ continued to be heard in the darkness, which was the sound of heads exploding one after another.

A quarter of an hour later, a line of handwriting flashed with dazzling blood appeared on the head of the fanatical typewriter in the claustrophobia.

"Siac was killed in an attack, and the Wall's Chapter is missing."
