Chapter 46: Platform
As a villain who used to be good at cheating, stealing something is a little trick for Mike, the elf butler. On the train, he knew that the currency used in this world was very low-level, and it was not reinforced with alchemy technology at all to reduce wear and tear during circulation, let alone burn the space magic array for space storage.
In contrast, the 2,000-year-old gold coins in the Great Tomb are too high-end to be used to buy things today...... It's a bit of a loss.
As the steward of the Great Tomb, Mike is very good at calculating, insisting that every gold coin should be of its proper value. In a word...... Mike, who used to be poor and afraid, was unwilling to suffer a loss in money.
Mike, who was fully loaded on the train, caught up with Da Liang's team, and when he arrived on the platform, he did not forget to wave goodbye to the lady he had just met, and send a kind and charming smile.
Then Mike felt for the coins in his pocket and asked Da Liang, "Master, where should we go now?" But...... I suggested we go for a bite to eat, the food on the train was really terrible.
As your butler, I will arrange a sumptuous dinner for you. ”
"Captain, I'm hungry......" Black Pearl said aggrievedly.
Mike reached out and conjured out a bag of melon seeds and handed it to Black Pearl: "Miss Black Pearl, I will arrange dinner as soon as possible." ”
Black Pearl took the paper bag from Mike's hand, and Juliet was already crouching beside her, seducting Black Pearl, "Do you want to know what it's like to kill a skeleton on a train?" ”
……
Da Liang did not answer Mike immediately, but first observed the train station in the city of Saloyan.
They are now standing in the middle of the semi-enclosed platform of the station. There are many printed advertisements and small notices on the red brick walls and columns, and the cement pavement is very clean. The floors and walls are painted with markings and signage to guide passengers on and off the train, as well as in and out of the station.
At this time, the train has reached the terminal station, and all the passengers are getting off, making the whole platform very crowded. However, the station has already arranged enough staff to guide passengers in neat uniforms to leave quickly. Because after the train changes its locomotive, it will return to the mainland of the Flominque Empire, and the waiting room is already full of passengers heading west.
Only by letting the arriving passengers leave the station as soon as possible can the waiting passengers get on the train.
In addition, in order to maintain order and respond to emergencies, there are also soldiers in imperial uniforms in the station, who wear steel helmets and carry rifles on their backs, and patrol in small teams of four or five people.
In addition to the soldiers, Da Liang also saw several people wearing black formal suits and armbands. The armband has a "Y" pattern on it, and a pistol and a staff are attached to the forks on it. The men held magic wands in their hands to show their identity as magicians, and watched the travelers vigilantly, stopping some of them from time to time to ask them for ID and ask questions.
The passengers seemed to be afraid of them, and all of them obediently cooperated with the interrogation.
"They're agents of the Special Security Service, and the Marcellians call them 'cockroaches'......" Brown also notices these special magicians. He rubbed his head, which was still a little drowsy, knowing that this was the sequelae of psychic magic, and his sleep on the train must have something to do with psychic magic. But...... What if you know? I couldn't fight and couldn't fight, so I could only find a chance to escape. "We'd better get out of here as soon as possible," Brown reminded, "because none of you have identification, you don't even have train tickets, if you're being cross-examined...... It's sure to cause unnecessary trouble. ”
Just say what to say...... Da Liang and the heroes of the Great Tomb are really too conspicuous, and their temperament is incompatible with the people on the entire platform, especially Princess Purple Spirit, Sophia, Julian, and Hannah standing in the middle of the four directions, surrounding Da Liang as if they were facing a great enemy, and all the passengers around him were far away.
It's hard not to get noticed, and two Security Service agents have already walked here......
At this time...... Annie, Eric, and Robin were standing not far away, and they recognized Sophia, and naturally knew which group of people had robbed their compartment.
Robin said proudly, "See? With so many people, how can a compartment fit under the ...... They must have used space magic to turn the narrow room into a villa, and maybe there is a swimming pool inside......"
Eric was also suspicious of his own insistence. As a good agent, he must have a very keen sense of observation and memory, and he said to Anne: "This kind of travel is ...... There were maids, stewards, and guards...... As well as their clothing and mannerisms, they all indicate that they came from a large aristocratic family.
But I can't see your family crest, and I can't remember in my memory that there were these people among the great nobles of the empire, especially the child who was protected.
Miss Anne, you are the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Whitehead, and know the nobles of the Empire better than I do...... Do you know them? ”
Anne said, "I don't know...... From the time I was sensible, my father taught me to know the family coats of arms of all the nobles of the empire and their members. Whoever dies in any noble family and joins in, he will let me write it down.
I didn't know the kid and I didn't know any of them...... Wrong......
How did Baron Jennings' eldest son, Brown Jennings, stay with him? Brown Jennings is a professor in the junior magic department of the Salo Young School of Magic, and since he has come into contact with these people, he should know some of their secrets.
Let Brown continue to talk to his line, you don't have direct contact with him, I'll find time to talk to Brown personally.
Agents of the Special Security Service have taken an eye on them, and it's time for you to step in...... I can go to the headquarters by myself, if there is nothing important, don't go directly to the headquarters to find me.
You two are doing this for me nicely. ”
"Yes, miss." Robin replied with Eric.
Anne put down the veil from her lady's hat, propped up her parasol, read the book in one hand, and walked away.
As the Security Service agents got closer and closer to their target, Eric said to Robin, "You'd better tell me what your plans are, once they're cross-examined by our new colleagues, it's not something the two of us can easily solve." ”
Robin straightened his clothes and said to Eric in a leader's style, "Of course it's our little brother's plan...... This little brother refers to me, I have seen so many cases, and I have enough experience as a little brother. And you...... Say less and do more, and reluctantly be my little brother's little brother. ”
"You ......" Eric held back his anger, Miss Anne's order was very clear, before confirming the identities of these people...... Listen to Robin.
By this time, Robin had already walked forward and said, "Hey, don't stand stupid...... You go get rid of the cockroaches, and I'm going to start making contact with my future boss. ”
"Your boss will always be Miss Anne...... And cockroaches are not a good nickname, we are also members of the Special Security Service now" Suppressing his anger, Eric walked quickly over to the two agents of the Security Service who were about to interrogate Da Liang and his party.
