Chapter 189: Rumors in Herzross
On the fifth day of the reincarnation world, Professor Leonard was ready to leave for the town of Herzross.
Mu Lan has been almost immersed in libraries and museums these days, looking for clues to the town of Herzros from the vast amount of documents, but unfortunately with little success, people are not keen to record such a decayed and unattended remote town, and the government department has also symbolically counted the population and chamber of commerce here several times.
In this age of profit-oriented nuggets, people's enthusiasm is focused on star cities that bring wealth and business opportunities, and even the outlying colonies are more well-known than Herzrostown.
Although it is difficult to collect intelligence, Mu Lan still excavated two interesting points, the fishing industry in Herzross Town has not always been abundant, due to the overfishing brought by industrial forces, the fish school in the coastal waters of Britain has been depleted in the past half century, and the same is true in Herzross Town, but then the fishing industry has miraculously recovered, is the fish school back?
Another point is that the town of Herzross has also produced celebrities, not as unknown as recorded in the county history, to be precise, after the celebrity, the self-proclaimed navigator Captain Leon immigrated to Herzrose Town in 1859, although he himself is not famous, but he has a father who is a privateer captain, the old Captain Leon is a "state pirate" who has been issued a privateer license by Queen Victoria herself, Mu Lan found this name in other documents, keenly noticed his life history, and finally found out their connection with Herzrosstown.
"Let's take the train first, then transfer to the horse-drawn carriage." "It took about two days, and we had to walk there after we got off the carriage," Leonard said. ”
"Isn't there a steam car?" Lin Yiyi asked.
"It's all dirt roads in the countryside, and the steam wagons of this era can kill you, and they're not as fast as horse-drawn carriages." Mu Lan said in the Mind Link.
Although Herzros Town is remote, but fortunately, this copy has barely entered the modern society, so that it is not like the winner who needs to ride a horse all the time, Mu Lan had a layer of skin on her inner thigh at that time, and the pain had a psychological shadow, and she really didn't want to experience it a second time.
After a long day of driving to Leinstershire, Leonard pulled out a horse-drawn carriage and enjoyed the bumpy transformation from a smog city to a country lane.
Ah Feng didn't speak, staring at the information copied by Mu Lan and didn't know what he was thinking, while Mu Lan closed his eyes tightly, thinking about every clue from entering the copy to the present.
"This Ah Feng has so few words!" Lin Yiyi said in the heart link.
"Is it really autistic or pretending to be a master......"
"Hey... None of you speak. ”
"It's boring."
Lin Yiyi kept talking to herself, Mu Lan blocked her mouth with a white pine cone, this was given to them by Julian, and when she heard that Lin Yiyi liked it, she transported a carriage over, and she was all stored in the carry-on space.
Mu Lan was interrupted from her train of thought, and after hearing Lin Yiyi mention Ah Feng, she subconsciously glanced at him.
Ah Feng sat opposite, looking at the information with his head down, and his frowns from time to time showed that he was thinking seriously.
Until now, Mu Lan has not cleared Ah Feng's strengthening direction, and the few of them have not encountered danger, nor have they let him be exposed, Mu Lan secretly thought to herself, when she encounters a threat, let Ah Feng strike first, and she will definitely be able to judge what his strength is.
"What's wrong?" Ah Feng looked at Mu Lan puzzled.
"Nothing." Mu Lan staggered her eyes, and was discovered by peeking again, this person is still so sensitive.
There was no word all the way, and when it was close to noon, the carriage drove into a fairly prosperous town.
"We're here!" The coachman stopped the carriage.
This is the nearest town of Hansen to the destination town of Herzross, which is relatively closed and needs to be walked to next.
The group arrived at a restaurant in the center of town, ready to have lunch and were on their way.
During this period, Mu Lan inquired about the rumors of Herzrose Town at the restaurant, and sure enough, after hearing that their destination was Herzrose Town, the waiter's expression changed.
"That God-cursed place...... How did you end up in such an unholy place? ”
It seems that the locals are disgusted with Herzros, and the waiter and a few people who are heading to Herzros are disappointing, almost treating them as flood beasts, and then turning to leave.
"We are civil servants of the government." Mu Lan casually thought of a pretense, stopped in front of the waiter, and gestured in Leonard's direction, "He is a professor from a big city, and we want to investigate and count some data on this trip." ”
"A dilapidated fishing village with a bunch of weird fishermen with hateful faces, what's there to investigate?" The waiter wondered.
"Seems like everyone is resistant to Herzros?" Mu Lan's expression was slightly dissatisfied, and then she leaned close to the waiter's ear and whispered complainingly: "I was also forced to come, who wants to live in that kind of dilapidated place, I just want to inquire about the news, it seems that there is some danger over there?" In a word...... I just want to hurry up and get back to the comfort of my home in the city. ”
"Poor girl......" the waitress said with regret, "the adults of the city are hopelessly stupid to send such a beautiful girl as you to Herzrostown, you should stay in the office of the big city and be a clerk, instead of being sent to a place like Herzrostown, my dear, you must have offended someone." ”
Mu Lan's image always gets some "preferential treatment" when she inquires about the news, Lin Yiyi complained that everyone loves to look at their faces, and if the captain goes to ask for directions, a serious face with Chinese characters will definitely scare away passers-by.
"Maybe......" Mu Lan had a melancholy face and made an expression that she didn't want to recall.
"Girl, it's better not to stay overnight in Herzrostown." The waiter glanced left and right, and then said cautiously: "There is an outsider who wants to take a shortcut to the city of Sharton, he thinks he is clever and wants to hire a fishing boat from Herzrose Town to go there directly, and then stays in the hotel in the town for one night, and the next day he commits suicide, no one knows what happened that night, the innkeeper was taken away by the police, but the suspicion was quickly cleared, and the case was closed......"
"Suicide?" Mu Lan was surprised.
"Yes!" The waiter said mysteriously: "Herzrose Town is a bit weird, occasionally people there will come to us to buy, everyone dare not look directly at the people of Herzrose Town, they look hateful, it is difficult for me to describe what it looks like at my level of education, in short, it is very gloomy, and can scare the most naughty children into crying." ”
"And ......," the waiter continued, "we have heard that there are always people missing over there, and we have warned many times not to pass through the town of Herzross, but there are still bold fools, who either disappear or go stupid, and come out repeating those strange words as if they were repeating......"
"So serious?" Mu Lan was puzzled: "Don't you care about Lanstershire?" ”
The waiter shook his head, "The police have come before, but they can't find anything, and then they don't know, anyway, there are few people living in such a remote place, I guess I want to wait for them to fend for themselves." ”
"When I was a kid, I went there with my father to buy fish." The waiter's face was gloomy, as if he had thought of some bad memories, and he said slowly: "I feel very evil to everyone over there, every building, even the stones on the side of the road, and I tremble as soon as I enter their realm, and I always feel as if someone is watching us, and that feeling is very ...... Under the weather. ”
"My father told me that the town of Herzros was a cursed evil zone, a fallen land abandoned by God,"
