Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Paradise for Poverty
If the explorers wanted to kill Magellan on a steam locomotive, they simply couldn't succeed.
If the explorers wanted to kill the Baron and Professor Granger on the same steam locomotive, they had a lot of options, and they were likely to succeed.
As for the trouble of finding the two in Magellan's presence, there would be far fewer viable options, but they would still exist.
For example, as Magellan saw in front of him, disconnect the connection of the vehicle and launch a trap.
It seems that this group of explorers had prepared for Magellan with a big explosion.
It was supposed to be the latest research, and Magellan could see at a glance that the unique packaging material came from the need to preserve the essence, and the huge size came from the habits of the steam engine makers, an unprecedented composite bomb with the power of essence and steam.
When the car, which had been disconnected from the nose of the steam locomotive, came to the bomb by inertia, a grand pyrotechnic fire would make it impossible for the Baron and Professor Granger to wake up.
The sound that Magellan had just heard was that the explorer had disconnected the two carriages, and he was moving fast, but still one step too late.
Then the Valkyrie rushed out of the carriage with a smile of excitement on her face, and Brunhilde threw her spear at the bomb.
A grand explosion shattered the night, the silence was wiped out by the loud noise, and the multi-colored flames illuminated the darkness, the smoke and dust were scattered, and the fresh natural breath of the evening breeze was swept away.
Magellan sighed helplessly.
The rails did not survive such a violent explosion, and he was sure that the carriage was about to derail after just one glance.
Just when Magellan didn't know what to do, the galloping war horse came to his side with the Valkyrie, and then Brünnhilde reached out and grabbed Magellan's arm and threw him into the carriage in front.
The explorers who were there admiring the desperate expressions of their prey were taken aback.
Pegasus then flapps his wings, turns with incredible dexterity, and then retracts his wings and rushes through the door at the end of the carriage into the derailed carriage.
There, Brunhild stretched out his hands, one on each side, grabbed Professor Granger and the Baron, who had just woken up, and threw them into the carriage in front of him.
The baron got up from the ground, turned to look at the carriage that was slowly moving away in the darkness, and let out a burst of laughter.
"Am I dreaming?"
Before Professor Granger could get up, he reached out to the departing carriage and groaned in pain, "My data ......"
Then a bunch of salutes landed beside the two of them.
Ignoring the screaming Granger, the baron turned and rushed into the carriage.
There, Magellan is confronting a group of well-prepared and skilled explorers.
But the explorers did not face Magellan: they were on the run.
Magellan was helpless to discover that the explorers knew how to escape, and by threatening the junction of the carriages, they delayed Magellan again and again.
Then the explorers cleanly jumped off the steam locomotive and disappeared into the water: the railroad tracks here passed right past the lake.
When the baron rushed to Magellan's side, he could only shout at the calm waters of the lake.
Then the Valkyrie came to the two with Professor Granger.
"Are you sure it wasn't brought by the bounty hunter?"
Valkyries have their own unique way of looking at things, and for Arthur and Brünnhilde they are impressed.
"No ......"
Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that the explorers can now rely on teamwork to do things that Arthur can do.
The power unleashed by the King of the World is growing at a terrifying rate, and no one knows what they will do in the end.
"I guess it's best to ask. ”
Still hesitant to waste precious rest time chasing the explorer, the Valkyrie flew out like a meteor, and then only a moment later, she returned with the explorer drenched in water.
"Hello, Professor Magellan. ”
The explorers had smiles on their faces that surprised Magellan.
"That bomb is dangerous, but it's nothing to you, is it?"
Magellan didn't know what to say.
"Well, if it's on the battlefield, it's a good weapon, right?"
"What the hell are you attacking me for?" Magellan already had the answer in his heart, which made him extremely helpless, "To prove himself?"
"Of course," the explorer looked excited, "to get Professor Magellan in trouble, it's probably one of the hardest things in the world to do, and of course I didn't expect such a powerful ...... among your companions Lady. ”
The explorers eagerly told Magellan everything, the most important of which was the beginning: the explorers were ready to join the war against science.
"Why?"
"A group of explorers has raided the Holy See, and they already know the future that science has in store for mortals. ”
So the explorers fell on the side of science.
......
The next morning, the steam locomotive rushed into a city and came to a slow stop at the station's platform.
The four of Magellan walked out of the car door, Professor Granger yawned, and the baron was in good spirits.
"This is the Valley of the South Wind. ”
As soon as she walked out of the station, the Valkyrie was surprised to find that the valley of the south wind was in front of her.
It is a rolling hill that bends into a horseshoe shape with an opening to the south, and the valley is sheltered from the cold north wind, hence the name.
But the city is not in the valley, but outside the valley.
From afar, the building in the valley appears to be a slum.
This surprised Brunhilde.
Magellan decided to find a place to stay, and the baron, who was in dire need of beer, immediately agreed, and they did not go far to settle down in a small inn on the north side of the city.
"I always thought that if more people came here, there would be a city in the valley. ”
The Valkyrie stood by the window and looked out at the mountains to the north, a valley that was a paradise in the distant days of the Esyadians.
On more than one occasion, Brunhilde had heard her husband tell her the story of his ancestors' discovery of the Valley of the Southwind in a tone of admiration and pride, and the warrior let out a long sigh whenever he told him of his arduous trek through the snow and ice of the mountains and finally seeing the green valley.
But now, it is the poor beggars who have been squeezed out of the city that occupy this paradise.
"Maybe we'll know why we'll be there when we've been there. ”
Magellan already had a rough guess, but most importantly, he had to go to the valley to find clues, and he had no clue about the "battlefield of the frost and fire giants".
