Chapter 20 Snow Train

"So here we go. ”

Packing their bags, Rogelline and the others bid farewell to Jonah. As they walked out of the villa, they noticed that the whole town had been painted in a different color.

"So, it's white again...... Oh, the season of pure whiteness. ”

Yes, in the second half of the night, when everyone was resting, the weather in Yingguo finally showed its changeable side that Antoun had heard of. The accumulation of fine snowflakes from the sky since midnight on trees, rooftops and the ground is a nuisance for road sweepers, but there is no denying the beauty it brings.

"Antun, what were you talking about?"

To Rogerindy's question, pretending to be observing the birds that were feeding from the feeding bins by the roadside, Antoun replied without looking back.

"Gee, it's nothing, I just think these birds are cute. ”

"Yes, every year people have to pay a lot of money to feed these birds. ”

"It always feels like it's suddenly becoming a reality. Haven't you asked yet, how are we going to get to London?"

Hearing Antoun's words, Rogellinty opened her umbrella and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"Needless to say, of course, it's by rail. Antun, you haven't woken up yet. ”

"Probably. So we're going to town now?"

"No, the station we're going to is outside of town. ”

Is there such a place here, I don't think I saw it from here-I always felt that saying this would repeat the scene just now, so he closed his mouth sensibly.

At this time, a very familiar car drove over the mountain road that had been cleared of snow. When the driver parked the car and stepped out of the car to open the door for the others, Antoon recognized that this was the car that had carried several of them in the "Forest of Thorns", including the driver who drove it, and nothing had changed.

Thinking that there was indeed a world set of magic, the ordinary drivers of the Nexus Society seemed to be experienced and incredible, and Antun silently followed Rogellindy and stepped forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please. ”

I don't know if it was intentional or not, this time Altina sat in the front row first, and Antoun had to sit in the back row with her and Mister under the wordless questioning of his lord with his expression, "What are you doing", and he sat between the two.

As a result, the atmosphere in the car was very awkward within a few minutes after the car was started.

Fortunately, Rogelline, who was sitting next to him as if nothing had happened, finally spoke in order to tell him.

"Before you board the train later, Antun you need to be ready for battle. ”

"Well, why, could someone attack us on the train without regard for the safety of ordinary people?"

Luo Jielinti's brainless instructions naturally made him feel suspicious. In response to his question, Rogellian also replied as if it were a matter of course.

"If you were to ask if there was such a person, my answer would be yes. Remember last night when an intruder appeared in the 'Hypocritical Courtyard'? In addition to the old man in the 'Forest of Thorns' who is entangled with you, there are several groups of mercenary magicians he hired to cause trouble.

In fact, in addition to magician-related business, those people were also mercenaries who took on various ordinary businesses. If any of them alters our information and circulates it in their own market, then we will be offended.

So in order to avoid a bad influence on ordinary human society, and also to correct your erroneous view, I would like to say that the next thing we are going to take is a special train for magicians. ”

Rogelline's words without an obvious pause left Antoun speechless. While they avoided a dangerous situation, they had to face a more dangerous situation in a sense. Now he could understand why Rogelli and the others had to prepare for cross-dressing before they arrived in London, and why they couldn't see the location of the destination train station outside the town - most of the time it was a magical barrier to hide the station's existence, something he had learned from his reading last night.

By the way, last night he also learned about magic engraving through reading a book - the name of a person in the magic family who makes a product that can be passed on to others by studying a certain magic trick all his life. Usually it will be inherited by the eldest son of the next generation in the lineage, but due to adaptability problems, other children will also choose to inherit the relevant information from other children, and in extreme cases, outsiders will be selected.

In view of the terrible words that Rogellinty said, Antoun also restrained his relaxed mood a little. In the face of an unknown enemy, no matter what, we must not lose our vigilance, and this is a judgment that can never be wrong at any time.

Thanks to this, when the sedan finally came to a halt in a seemingly empty suburban area except for a few old snow-covered trees, Antoun confirmed that he was physically and mentally fit for battle.

"Then Miss, I wish you peace. ”

After saying this sentence and bowing slightly, the middle-aged driver drove away alone. At the same time, Rogellian pulled out a sheet of paper that looked like it was printed with barcodes from the suitcase she was dragging, tore one off and pasted it on her hand, then ripped off another one and handed it to Antoun.

"Stick this on the back of your hand, any hand you want, it's a 'one-way ticket' that allows the barrier to identify you as having access to a crowd. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What's going on with this inexplicable sense of technology. ”

Saying that, considering that the dimensional crystal on his left hand might interfere with the "ticket", Antoun attached it to the back of his right hand. In the next moment, the white part of the barcode melted into his skin like sugar meeting water, and only the black part was clearly imprinted on the surface of the skin.

And when he looked up, an old railway station that seemed to boast of the country's most powerful period, and the whole building showed the famous Victorian style, suddenly appeared in front of him.

Antoun didn't know much about architecture, either in the past or now, but even he knew it was one of the most important historical symbols in the history of the Ying Kingdom.

When he secretly sighed at the brilliance of human civilization, Luo Jielindi and the others had already walked to the entrance of the station through the stone stairs. He hurriedly walked over, and then saw Rogie Lindy, who was standing alone on the platform for some reason, talking and laughing with a middle-aged man in gentleman's clothes who seemed to enjoy a fixed docking time.

Seeing Antun walking towards them, the middle-aged gentleman said goodbye to Rogellinti, took off his hat and greeted Antoun, and then returned to the train with grace.

"How do I feel that Miss, you don't feel nervous at all. ”

Hearing the irony in Anthun's words, Rogie Lynte pulled her right hand from the pocket of her windbreaker and pressed the brim of her cap slightlyβ€”she was now dressed in tomboy style for cross-dressing.

"It doesn't matter, the other party is a friend of my uncle, we have met quite a lot, and he used to give me gifts on my birthday, he is a kind person. Not to mention whether the other party knows about us, if they do, they probably won't have any ideas. ”

"Well, since you said so, Miss, then I don't have a problem. What about Miss Altina and Miss Mister?"

"Because it would be a bit noticeable for a group of people like us to act together, I asked them to get in the car first and find a suitable room. ”

Although Rogellian was supposed to be talking about the magician's habits, Antoun had to admit that his master was right in another way after carefully examining her disguised appearanceβ€”the combination of three beautiful girls would be eye-catching even on an ordinary train.

"Alright, it's almost time to leave, Antun, let's go. Also, help me with my luggage. ”

"Good. ”

While taking the suitcase from Rogerinti's hand, Antoun took a slight look at the vehicle he was about to take. Although the station is Victorian-style, it is fortunate that it is not the old locomotives of the Industrial Revolution that exist as a means of transportation, but rather the product of human history as we advance into the 21st century.

However, it is estimated that the year of its birth will not exceed the first decade of the 21st century at the latest, and there is still a gap of more than a few decades between the year when Antoun originally lived on Earth. Therefore, in Antoun's eyes, compared with the former, it is just "an old antique that can barely be used" and "an old antique that cannot be used at all".

I just don't know if the magicians have added any strange devices to this train.

As a result, when he actually got on the train, Antoun immediately realized that his previous imagination was a little wrong.

Although the train looks old from the outside, the interior is a bit exaggerated. Except for the outermost connected passageway, each carriage of the train is like a separate hotel room, with all kinds of daily necessities. Of course, there is no kitchen in the management office, but there must be a restaurant in one of the train's cars that specializes in delicious food. If there is any magician who can live on a train all the time, it is not surprising that Antoun is not surprised.

Putting away Rogelline's luggage and subconsciously pressing her temples, Antoun sighed.

"So you magicians are so rich?"

And Rogelline, who was already lying on the soft bed in her room, confirmed his words.

"Of course. If you weren't rich enough, how could anyone have the heart to study magic, and it's hard to just think about how to survive. ”

It turns out that having money is really free to do whatever you want.

"So, let me share a room with you, is it really okay?"

"What do you mean, Antoun, you're a servant, I'm your master, isn't that the most suitable configuration?"

Once again, the overly correct theory left Antoun speechless. And just as the two had a brief exchange, the train finally started.

"Huh...... The body is still very tired. Antoun, I'm going to sleep a little more and wake me up in half an hour. By the way, if you want to have breakfast, go to the dining car yourself, I don't think anyone will recognize you. ”

Probably really tired, not long after saying this, Rogie Lindy quickly fell asleep.

Antoun walked over to the bed and covered her, and then, on the other side, he went to the other side of the car window and lifted the curtains.

Through the car window, he saw a pure white landscape, with flat snowfields spreading to the horizon, leaving behind silver lines that divided the view into two halves.

The snow has stopped for a while, and the sun seems to be about to show its might.

If this augurs for something good, then it is worth thanking. Although it was only for a moment, he couldn't help but have such unrealistic thoughts.
