Chapter 26: On the Train (Xie Meng)
The portal opened in the compartment, and Julian stepped out of it.
With the gradual development of firearms, metal armor is no longer the mainstream attire in this world. The warriors stripped off the heavy armor that made them targets for musketeers, changed into regular clothes that did not interfere with their movements, and focused on training their physical skills, leaving no stone unturned to build up their speed and agility.
Although the people wearing heavy armor are not extinct, for example, some countries still retain heavy cavalry and hoplites in their armies. But the heavy armor that is worn every day must be enchanted with high-level alchemy to strengthen the defense of guns and bullets, and reduce the weight as much as possible. Even so, a person who wears heavy armor in public is bound to be an extremely powerful warrior and has a special penchant for heavy armor.
As a Rank 15 Divine Angel, the weight of the metal armor would not have any effect on Julian. But Da Liang's code of conduct for this trip to Saroyan City is to keep a low profile, and if the gorgeous angel armor exuding divine energy is worn out, it is estimated that it will attract all the powerful people of the entire world.
This time, he accompanied Da Liang to study at the Salo Yang Academy of Magic, and Julian put away all the divine energy that was released. She took off her angel armor and put on a regular dress that was easy to fight. Julian's costume was made by Sophia based on what she had seen and heard on the train last time she was scouting.
White fabric, gold trim, crisp blouse and trousers, and a pair of white wide-heeled leather shoes on the feet. The overall style is more neutral, similar to men's formal wear, and on this basis, changes such as waist cinch are made to reflect the beauty of women.
With long golden wavy hair draped over his shoulders and a long sword hanging around his waist, Julian, who was upright, was imposing and dazzling even if he hid his strength.
When Julian stepped out of the portal, he first blocked in front of the door, scanning the aisle outside through the glass window on the door.
Coming out after Julian was Da Liang.
The first time he took a steam train, Da Liang was full of great curiosity.
The train made a regular noise on the tracks, and the carriages were constantly shaking, making Da Liang who had just come out a little unsteady. But before Da Liang could finish scanning the room, Black Pearl rushed through the portal, and she hit Da Liang's back.
"Oops! I'm sorry Captain...... Thank you, Your Royal Highness Princess......" When Black Pearl and Da Liang were about to fall down when they hugged each other, a force helped them stabilize their bodies.
Taking off her blue and white magic robes, Princess Purple Spirit, dressed as a noblewoman, stood in front of the portal. With a casual wave of her lace gloves, the originally somewhat cramped train compartment expanded out of thin air. This space spell is just a small trick for Princess Purple Spirit. Then she bounced a magic ball of light onto the glass...... It was a mirror spell with a mental hypnotic effect, and people passing by here would automatically ignore the compartment, which could be said to have disappeared from the train in a sense.
Following Princess Ziling is Juliet, her costume is relatively close to this era, as long as she puts away the black flame released outside, and is quieter, she will look like the girl next door. She killed a group of low-level undead before breakfast, and after the murderous intent that rose was calmed down, Juliet was still able to settle down for a while with Julian in her care. After she entered the compartment, she only looked at the four walls for a moment, then found a place near the window and sat down, then patted the position next to her, and said to Da Liang with a playful smile: "Master...... Sit here if you want to ...... You can ...... on my lap."
Brown and Hannah then walked in, and finally the portal closed after the butler Mike entered the compartment as well.
At this time...... The captain and his superiors, disguised as a couple, walked forward through a carriage, and after no one was paying attention before or after observing, quickly opened the door of a compartment and entered.
There was only one young man in the room. He was wearing a beige jacket and had beautiful dirty blonde hair, and he was handsome, with a sense of decadence in the sunlight outside the window.
At this time, the young man was reclining on the seat, with Erlang's legs crossed, with French fries in his hand, and a plate of tomato sauce on the table.
The captain was furious to see that the young man was so unalert...... He stepped forward and snatched the book from the young man's hand, even more furious when he saw the title. He slammed the book on the table and couldn't help but yell, "Jeffrey Robin...... We're not here for a vacation. If I were an enemy just now, you'd be dead!
I don't know why Miss Anne asked you to go with us to the city of Salloyan, but if you don't even have a spare safe house, we'll be killed by you. ”
"Miss Annie, Mondo Eric, why did you come here...... Robin didn't expect to be caught being lazy on a mission, he quickly threw away half of the french fries in his hand and stood up in an orderly manner. However, his eyes couldn't help but skim the book on the table, his face was full of reluctance to suddenly interrupt the plot, and he didn't forget to defend himself: "Eric, don't frame me in front of Miss...... I'm dutifully playing the role of a traveler who goes out alone.
Is there anything wrong with a lone traveler reading a book on a long journey? Are you asking me to stand behind the door with a gun and keep an eye on the pedestrians outside? ”
Eric didn't expect Robin to dare to defend himself despite his dereliction of duty, so he turned to Miss Anne, who was already sitting by the window, and said, "Miss, don't believe Robin's nonsense...... When at headquarters, this guy would only be lazy to read the whimsical, books.
We went to Saroyan this time to face extreme independence elements and foreign infiltrators, not the relatively safe environment of the headquarters. Having Robin follow us will seriously affect our productivity......"
"Yes, yes......" Robin was very much in agreement with Eric's complaint against himself at this point, and he also said to Miss Anne: "Miss...... Eric is our best agent, and I'm ...... Just a civilian who didn't even dare to shoot a gun.
You need to take over the reorganization of the Special Security Service in Marcellus Province, and you need to be an elite, humanoid weapon among agents like Eric, I ...... This kind of small staff who messes around still stays at the headquarters so that you don't have to worry about it.
Or...... Next stop, I'll take the return train back ......."
"Yes, Miss...... Let him fuck off......" Eric identified with Robin for the first time.
