Fort Partonham Railway Station.

The train station was crowded with large numbers of refugees, and compared to the hungry homeless people outside the station, they were in decent condition, at least they could afford a train ticket.

Wars and famines in the north have caused large numbers of refugees to move south.

They had been in the area north of the Ott Mountains for several months, but there was a lack of jobs and a lack of friendly treatment from the locals – Guinea Podi and Saint-Nouvé had yet to recover from the rebellion of a few years earlier.

I heard that Genoa was rich and stable, and because Genoa had recruited a large number of northern laborers in the past few years, these people had the expectation of trying their luck in the south.

Teenager Jim Carreyll is undoubtedly the furthest of the group.

Although he is only 13 years old, he is not small, and he is no longer the radish head of the year. He had a beautiful face, short hair, and was very cleanly groomed, and his thin coat was very neat.

He didn't know if Sean, who had become an aristocrat, would accept him, and if he would treat him differently as before.

At this moment, his mood is complicated, and his anxiety is mixed with excitement and excitement. The air was warm and humid, and the accent of the southerners made him aware of the differences between this place and the north.

A new municipality has been established at Fort Partenham, and because of the economic development and the booming population, it is only natural to separate it from the other.

As a bridgehead to the north of Genoa, the situation here is somewhat tense, and the influx of refugees from the north has worsened the security here.

Fights and clashes between outsiders and locals are constant.

The police are on standby, and the city government has even transferred personnel from the internal security team of the mining area to make up for the lack of police force, maintain law and order, and prevent possible emergencies.

The makeshift prison is already overcrowded.

Kim Carreyll has been searched by the police five times since he set foot on Fort Parttenham soil.

He had his own legal identification documents, as well as a certificate of sponsorship written by Colonel Horns in the name of the military, which was enough to put him in the face of official trouble.

Every policeman who checked looked at him with disbelief because he had come so far at such a young age.

People are warm and cold, the world is good and evil, and Kyriel's psychological age is far more mature than his appearance, and it is not easy to deceive him, especially on the way south, he has to beware of the danger of being beaten by people.

"You're a guest of Earl Connery?"

The railway police returned the identification documents and the certificate of sponsorship to Kerryll.

As it is written in the supporting documents. I'm from Als City, Mr. Policeman, have you heard?" said Kerryll, "and in fact, I don't know if the Count will take me in. ”

"I've heard of Ars City, it's a far away place, well, it should have fallen into the hands of the damned barbarians now. The count had been a soldier there, and the Genoese knew about it. The policeman said with a pleasant face, "By the way, what kind of carriage seat did you buy?" ”

"Third class, sir. Kerrell flipped out his ticket.

It was the cheapest seat ticket, and it was only a silver coin, and even so, many people from the north still couldn't afford it.

"You're in luck, there's a first class seat vacant and you can go there. There are large, soft sofas and complimentary tea and refreshments. The policeman said, seeing that Kerryl looked embarrassed, he smiled, "Don't worry about the ticket, I'll take you there, I'll greet the conductor, no one will drive you away." ”

"Will this affect your work?" the kindness of the police overwhelmed Kerrel, and if all the cops were like that, it would seriously affect Kerrel's view of the world.

"It's okay, I'm interested in your story, I'll come and talk to you when I have time. The police led Kyrell to the train.

The so-called first-class seat is actually a slightly separated space in a first-class carriage, which is a special place for railway police officers to rest on the train, and the wide sofa can even make people lie down.

Kyrell sat quietly, watching the hurried passengers on the platform.

There wasn't much time, and the train started.

This behemoth shocked all those who saw it for the first time.

As a teenager who loves to read, Kyrell has long known about the existence of trains, and has tried to figure out the principle of such a machine from some of the materials he can find.

When the train left the station and came into the wilderness, many people along the railway line followed the train, and when the train slowed down at every bend, some people jumped on the train and took a ride outside.

This is quite a dangerous thing, especially this year.

The kind policeman only came over occasionally to take a look and bring refreshments.

On the journey to Bern, someone came to Kerrill and asked him about his origins.

With Carryll's eyes that see the world clearly, he can see that this person is serving Sean, and if his identity is fake, I am afraid that his death will be ugly.

Then he met Rose. Rose deliberately dressed in the same costume as she did in Als City, scaring Kyrell half to death.

"Don't be nervous, boy. Rose pinched his cheek, "It seems that you have been doing well for the past few years, and you have not become a dwarf." ”

"Do you work for the Earl?" asked Kerrell tentatively.

"Of course. Rose nodded, "The Earl received your letter ten days ago, so let me take care of it, he doesn't want to hear about your accident in his territory, the security is not good now, and a beautiful boy like you is the most popular." ”

Kyrell was visibly relieved.

Rose smiled, "But looking at you like this, it's obvious that the Count is too worried." I'm guessing you have a dagger hidden in your boot on your right foot. ”

"How do you know?" said Kerrelch.

"For as soon as I entered, your body was visibly tilted to the right, and your right hand was ready to pull something out at any moment. I wonder what made you give up the urge to pull out a dagger?" Rose asked.

"Because I still think it's better to pretend I didn't recognize you, I'm a big change from 6 years ago, and you can't recognize me under normal circumstances. In comparison, pulling out the dagger is too risky. Kerrell said.

"That's right. Rose nodded, "By the way, have you ever killed anyone with your dagger?"

Kerrell hesitated, holding out two fingers.

"They're villains. "When I was in the Holy City, I was remembered for doing all I could to help those poor people. ”

"Are you interested in doing it with me? Rose asked.

"No, I want to be civilized. Kyrell refused, and in the face of Rose's strange eyes, Kyrel said:

"If the Earl agrees, I will continue my studies in Poitou, with the aim of becoming a university first. ”

Carryll suddenly thought of Old White.

Normally, he shouldn't sympathize with the bloodthirsty man, but he would always think of Old White's longing and reluctance for ordinary life.
