Three days later, the heavy snow finally stopped, and the sun that had not been seen for a long time shone not very warm, but as the wind and snow subsided, Allen's mood finally improved. Days of airship life had made him miserable, and seeing that he was about to arrive in the town of Victoria, Alan finally regained his spirits.

Standing on the deck, Alan could see the black tower like a steel flame at a glance, and Fasqi stood behind him and explained, "This is the office of the Inquisition and the place where the mission is issued, the Tower, and your study and life for the next month will also take place here. ”

"The Tower!" Alan read silently, feeling the altitude of the airship slowly decrease, and finally docked on the ground.

Walking down the stairs of the boat, stepping into the thick snow, Alan suddenly turned around, his suitcase was thrown down, he looked at Fasqi who was still standing on the deck, and couldn't help asking, "What, you have to go back?" ”

"I've had enough of being here, I'm going to have nightmares if I stay here for one night." Fasqi smiled and waved his hand, "I'm waiting for you in Luoyin City, don't hang up early, otherwise I'll take over your black scorpion." ”

Alan smiled, and then said loudly: "Anyway, I still have to thank you, and thanks to you, the head of Luoyin City is you, thank you!" ”

"When did you become so numb?" Fasqi glared at Allen, then waved his hand again, the ladder was retracted, and the floating airship slowly rose into the air, and in a moment it had disappeared into the clear sky.

Alan took his suitcase, looked at the snow-soaked path, and walked towards the small town of Victoria, which was not far away. It is located on the plain, and there is no white expanse as far as the eye can see. The size of the town is not large, but the households are scattered and not concentrated. It's not so much a small town as a gathering place without any defenses. Not even a tower.

Perhaps because of the weather, the town was quite deserted now, and Allen's infected eyes swept over, and he was surprised to find that there was no one in this town. And the tower, I don't know what kind of material it was built of, it directly blocked the scanning of Allen's vision.

"It can't be a dead city, right?" Alan stood outside the town, looking at a small bungalow next to him, the quaint building adding some traces of history. The wooden houses are very delicately constructed, especially the ancient patterns carved on the walls, which look like a work of art from the past. Alan couldn't help but stop, he had been brought up by Henry since he was a child, and he had been in the bounty team, and Alan didn't know anything about these works of art. But even so, the carved pattern still gave him a little shock, which is what interests Allen.

"These wooden houses have been around for thousands of years, and they have some spirituality, and they are so attractive."

An old voice sounded beside Allen, and the frightened Allen almost didn't jump, he flashed to the side with an arrow step, looking at the place where he had just stood, and at this moment a gray-haired old man was looking at him with a smile.

This old man is less than 1.7 meters tall, slightly chubby, slightly dark-skinned, and has short hair that is almost snow-white. Most notably, his left arm, right leg, and right eye are all made of machinery.

The left arm has a rounded shoulder, two exhaust holes can be seen towering behind the shoulder, and the arm is made entirely of mechanical parts, with polished gears exposed at the joints. The five mechanical fingers on the palm of his hand nimbly took off a black leather top hat. His right leg was broken at the knee, an egg-thin metal prosthetic leg supported his torso, and the soles of his feet touching the ground were more like the claws of some kind of bird, sharp hooks digging into the snow.

The old man's right eye is made of a copper-colored metal cylinder, and in the middle is a scarlet mechanical eye, which opens and contracts differently with the mechanical pupils as he looks around. A bronze wire protrudes from the outside of the mechanical eye, clinging to the skin, all the way down around his neck, and linking to the mechanical shoulder on the left side.

"I'm Alan, I'm here to report today, who are you?" Allen's infected gaze swept over the old man, but he didn't find any abnormality, even the transformer would show a full green color in Allen's infected gaze, but the color displayed by the old man was extremely weak, no different from ordinary people, he said and took out his right badge.

"I'm the gatekeeper here, you can call me Mr. Slim!" The old man's gaze fell on the badge of power in Allen's hand, the mechanical pupils suddenly dilated, and the red rays fell on it and disappeared, he nodded with satisfaction, and then put his hat on his head, "Victoria has no permanent residents, and the empty houses here are all for the probationary presiding judge." You're a little late, and the rooms are all gone, leaving the farthest one, come with me. ”

Alan hurried to follow, and Mr. Slim led the way to the northernmost part of the town. As he traveled through the town, Alan felt no trace of anger at all, and in the midst of his doubts, Mr. Slim explained, "At this time, everyone is studying in the Tower. Your lead must have told you about these things, right? ”

Thinking about Siqi's unreliable introduction, Alan wisely chose to be silent, and the two chatted without a word, and walked for nearly forty minutes before they came to a wooden bungalow.

Alan looked back, it was already far away from the town, and it was no wonder that no one chose this place, but Alan didn't care much, just no one bothered, and he could be quiet and quiet.

The walls of the wooden bungalow are still carved with ancient patterns, even if he is mentally prepared for the first time, Alan is still deeply attracted by the patterns, as if this ancient house has a special magic.

"Ahem!"

Mr. Slim snapped lightly and pulled Alan back to reality, and he introduced with a smile, "Young man, you have to remember one rule for the first time here. That is, don't stare at the patterns on the wall. These cabins are very old, and most of them possess a form of energy that resembles the form of an electric wave. The properties of this energy are very similar to mental power, and there have been many probationary presiding judges who have been restless by the radio waves of this wooden house, and even have nightmares every night. And these wooden houses are not only your dwelling, but also the place for your spiritual cultivation. ”

Alan couldn't help but nod, no wonder there was always a strange feeling when looking at the cabin.

"Settle your luggage, the Tower of Soless is closed and you've missed the morning class, so you'll have to wait until you've had lunch to continue the afternoon class. I'll pick you up then, and you can walk around the town, but don't go too deep, you don't know what powerful creatures are hiding on this vast snowy field, so be careful. ”

Alan said goodbye to Mr. Slim and walked into the cabin, where he had just placed his suitcase in the corner when he felt a pungent smell of blood hit his face......
