Vol 6 Chapter 14: Small town chance encounter (recommended monthly ticket on Monday)

A Mercedes-Benz steam train bound for the city of Conston in the Middle Sea.

Klein, dressed as a wandering magician, looked at the young man and his parents across from a narrow table with objects:

"My magic has two types. One is to make your wishes come true. The other is to use a mirror to answer your questions. Of course, the first type of magic requires payment and the second type must answer the questions raised by the mirror. You want to What kind of performance are you watching? "

The young man, who had dark brown hair and brown eyes, seemed to have been better educated. He looked at his parents sitting next to him and said with a smile:

"My wish is too difficult to trouble you.

"I'm relatively curious about mirrors that can answer questions."

Klein shook his head with a sigh and turned his left hand to reveal a silver mirror with black stones on each side that could fit into the sleeve.

"It seems to be antiques," said the young man across the road with an interesting comment, and then said, "My question is, what is the purpose of my trip to Conston this time?"

Klein's face showed the kind of smile common to street magicians, stretched his right hand and stroked the surface of the mirror, whispering quite seriously:

"The magic mirror and the magic mirror tell me what the answer is."

Three times in a row, he released his right hand and showed the surface of the mirror to the three passengers on the opposite side.

There are already a few silver words on it:

"Go get married."

"... Magic." The young man and his parents glanced at each other with an incredible expression.

When they boarded the train, they never mentioned wedding-related topics, nor did they show objects that were reminiscent of people.

This is the first time they have seen this kind of magic without relying on props and fake audiences.

"Well, it's time for the mirror to ask a question." Klein smiled and covered his right hand on the surface of the mirror.

"OK." The young man responded curiously.

"Next, let's see what the magic mirror will ask." Klein let out his right hand slightly exaggeratedly as if he were doing a formal magic show.

The silver word on the mirror surface has changed, and stretched into a complete sentence:

"You want your bride to be a lady over forty, right?"

The expression of the young man was frozen for a while, then became pale, and then completely reddened.

"How is it possible!" He immediately retorted, and couldn't help looking at his parents, hurriedly complaining, "What a strange question!"

"... It's a joke." Klein smiled sorry, and quickly pressed his right hand to the mirror surface, a way he didn't know beforehand.

Immediately after, he released his right hand again.

Sure enough, the text on the mirror surface changed again:

"How old are you?"

"25 years old ..." the young man replied cautiously, seemingly afraid of falling into a trap.

He felt that his parents and the passengers around him had seen some changes in their eyes.

"Well, this magic show ends here." Klein smiled and put away the mirror. "You can try another magic."

As soon as his voice fell, the steam train made a whistle, which was a sign that it was about to enter the station.

"Sorry, it's time I got off the bus." Klein pulled out his gold-shell pocket watch and glanced at it.

Immediately, he brought his luggage, followed the crowd of some passengers, left the steam train, and arrived at the platform where the gas street lights were not yet on.

This is the town of Beldan in Miankai-gun, a city that was stricken by the rise and decline of coal mines.

For Klein, the biggest significance here is that it was an important node of the Fassac invasion route in the previous World War.

-There are three invasion routes in Fossack, one is the Amanda Mountains attacking the border, trying to break through the land defense line there, the other is starting from the island of Sunia, attacking coastal ports and trying to land, and one is between Starting from the sea, he invaded Bakerland along the main railway.

Among them, due to the existence of the Church of the Storm and the power of the iron armored ship to cooperate with the high "arbiter", the naval forces of Fassac and Feneport have failed to achieve the predetermined results, and even failed to control the sea power, and the Amanda Mountains battlefield, The headquarters of the Church of the Night blocked waves of offenses, and they remained intact until the end of the war, leaving the places like Winter and East Chester not directly baptized by the flames of war.

Among the three routes, the only success was the Mine Sea Forces. They combined land and water and captured Ruen's second largest city, Conston City, the capital of Mianhai County, and then advanced all the way to the southeast. The Ties meet.

Klein acts as a wandering magician. On the one hand, he wants to accumulate wishes, show miracles, digest potions, and improve his strength. On the other hand, he intends to go back to the war and truly see with his eyes, his ears, and his heart. Trauma from previous wars.

Knowing the secrets of the stars and the ground, he can understand the plan of "Night Goddess" and accept it to some extent, but this does not mean that he is indifferent to those sacrifices.

At the same time, he also determined that even if he failed to prevent George III from becoming the "Black Emperor", World War would still break out, but Ruhn would have the advantage and the "Night Goddess" and his allies would be oppressed The "God of War" forced him to seek the help of the "God Mother" step by step.

At that time, the number, intensity and scale of divine warfare will surpass the current.

For this reason, Klein wandered from station to station along the Fassac invasion route.

Out of the platform with traces of cannon fodder, he carried his worn suitcase for changing clothes, identified the direction, and walked to the place where the hotel might be.

At night, he will stroll the streets of the city, performing magic of wishes for people.

After walking a few steps, Klein's inspiration was touched, and he set his eyes on the end of the street.

There was a female figure wearing a simple linen robe, a bark belt, long black hair, and no shoes or socks.

Arianna!

The leader of the ascetic monk in the night church, the earth angel Ariana!

How did he get to Beldan? At this time, shouldn't He have returned to the Black Monastery of the Quiet Church? Or was sent to St. Milon, the capital of Versack, to preside over the reception of the "God of War heritage"? The appearance of an angel walking on the ground in such a small city is definitely not easy ... Klein frowned a moment of doubt.

He hesitated, and finally decided to ask one or two.

This wasn't his nosy business, but that everyone was in the same city, and something really happened, and no one could escape.

But at this time, Arianna has disappeared into the crowd, and as a "hidden servant", he has no way to make Klein want to follow. Similarly, in the matter of "hidden", "Magic Mirror" Rhodes was also a little helpless.

Klein took a slow breath and turned thoughtfully into the hotel, opened a room, and put his luggage away.

Then, he kept the appearance of a wandering magician, with Arodes the "Magic Mirror", following the spiritual intuition of the "Fortune-teller", all the way to the municipal square of Beltan city.

Here near the city hall, there is a notice board with many notices on it.

Klein saw that many people were watching, and it seemed that a new document had been released, so he leaned forward and stood outside the crowd, looking at the log-colored sign.

In the center of the notice board, a piece of white paper that was slightly yellow covered the other notices, and the surface was written in black ink and Runnwen:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your new governor.

"Now I have issued three new decrees:

"First, no being can leave this place without my permission.

"Second, life before the law, etc. Even angels can be killed by ordinary people.

"Article 3, those who commit the following crimes will be severely punished with the maximum death penalty:

"1. Murder;

"2. Theft;

"3. Completely recite the honorable name of the deity;

"4. Sacrifice to evil gods;

"5. Fraud;

"6. Leaks;

"..."

Such an announcement ... Klein raised his eyebrows, and didn't need spiritual intuition to be able to detect problems with those contents.

He instinctively turned his thoughts and tried to get the spirit body back to "source castle".

However, an invisible force blocked his "leave", allowing him to only touch the gray mist but not to pass.

This ... Klein's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a few steps back to distance himself from the crowd.

In his opinion, this level of anomaly has reached a point where it is almost divine.

He has not been able to return to "Yuanbao" before, but the main reason is that he has no time to go back four steps, recite mantras, or be disturbed and blocked by himself.

In the true sense, he was unable to escape from the real world with external forces, only once:

It's in the misty town-there is a hidden world, a powerful seal created by the "night goddess".

Except for this time, even the "God blasphemer" Amon did not do a similar thing. Of course, at that time, Amon's main purpose was to force Klein to motivate the "source castle", and then seize the opportunity to use loopholes to replace He became "the great master over the spirit world", otherwise the "time angel" could prevent Klein from returning by stealing thoughts.

Who is the new "conservator" in Beldan City ... this is why Ms. Arianna came to Beldan City? Suddenly, Klein let the "Magic Mirror" slide from his wide sleeve to his left hand.

"What happened?" Klein whispered.

On the surface of the silver mirror, the water shook, and the slightly white silver words appeared:

"The rules here have been replaced by a few, who did not know, the great master, you can try to find the" hidden servant "Arianna, and learn the truth from him.

"Are you satisfied with my answer?"

Rules replaced ... "lawyer"? "arbitrator"? Or is there a "Bug"? Klein raised his head thoughtfully, looking around, and found that the citizens in the square were a little puzzled. He did not quite understand why the new notice would mention angels, and why he needed to apply for permission to leave.

The war is over!
