Chapter 12: Travel
Although I don't know how other trains are arranged, the positions on the trains that the professionals take are separated from each other, and each car has about 8 such compartments, which are distributed on both sides, and each compartment has two opposite seats, and a bench with a fixed square table is placed in the middle.

The canned fish was naturally for the dumplings, and after ordering the snacks, Watson immediately took it out of his windbreaker and put it beside him, and the dumplings returned to their normal appearance as soon as they got outside------ a big blue and gray cat.
The ordered things were quickly delivered to the table in front of him one after another, dumplings with their claws skillfully pried open a can of fish, sat in the arms of the owner, and slowly fished out the pickled small fish with his paws, and Watson took his two long knives from his waist and put them in the vacant place of his chair, then took a cup of milk tea with ice cubes, and slowly tasted it while rubbing the soft belly of the dumplings.
The trip would probably take most of the day and not reach Verdas until the evening, which meant that Watson would need to spend about 6 hours in the car, so he would naturally need something to pass the time, so he had brought the Bestiary that his dad had given him before he came, as well as a rather shabby-looking book with little content.
The book was found on his bedside table when Watson got up this morning, it was supposed to be the book left by his father last night, and on top of the book there was a set of utensils inserted in a large piece of leather and a note with only a few words written on it, because he was in a hurry to eat breakfast, so Watson only glanced at the note and the cover of the book at the time.
The note only reads, "Study hard, improve your knife skills", and the content of the book is probably about carving skills and the like, and the set of utensils should also be used for carving.
Now there is enough free time, so Watson once again took out the book and wanted to study it, and after opening the cover, just a few pages later, Watson found that this did not seem to be a book of pure engraving techniques, but a book of rune bullets!
There are some special bullet production methods recorded on it, for example, an explosive bullet recorded in it needs to carve a strange rune on the bullet body, and then put it in the fire to bake for a period of time, and after completion, it can apply an explosive effect to the enemy hit, which greatly enhances the shooting power and can be regarded as a disguised increase in the attack power of the gun.
The first thing that came to Watson's mind when he saw these contents was the huge business opportunity contained in it, this rune bullet he had heard his father talk about, this is a very precious bullet, and the way to make it is quite difficult, so it can be sold at a high price in any gun shop, and it is definitely in short supply.
After reading it for a while, Watson also understood why his father would give this book to himself, the reason is in the way this bullet is made, this bullet requires people to open the bow left and right with both hands, and has quite high requirements for the flexibility and synchronization of the two hands, but most people are left-handed or right-handed, and it is very difficult to reach this point, but Watson's talent in this area is naturally needless to say, making rune bullets can not only make him extra money, but also improve the skills of his hands, and it can be regarded as constantly improving his combat skills without going through battleγ
Thinking of this, Watson's mood was inevitably a little excited, and his interest in the production of rune bullets also grew, so he sat the dumpling next to him and then put the book on his lap, Watson lowered his head and began to slowly study the rune depictions of the different types of bullets on it.
BEEP!!TOOT!!TOOT!!
Three train whistles sounded to indicate that the car was about to start, Watson couldn't help but move his ass back, and put his eyes on the empty position opposite him, before Rex said that he couldn't buy an adjacent position, so he thought that there should be someone on the other side, and he didn't come until now, because he didn't catch up?
To be honest, Watson was quite happy if no one was sitting across from him, because it was still a little difficult to focus on the book while working as a professional he didn't know on the other side, after all, it meant that Watson had to devote some of his energy to keeping an eye on his movements to ensure his own safety.
However, things don't always go in the direction one might expect, and just a few minutes before the train departs, a slender, fair-skinned "man" in a neat casual outfit and sunglasses sits across from Watson.
In fact, Watson confirmed that this was a woman at the first glance when he saw her, and it would be too embarrassing to not even have this eyesight when he was out and about, but there was no need to debunk others, after all, everyone had secrets, and Rex's previous advice not to meddle in his mind he still remembered very well.
But Watson was still involved, because not long after a person sat down across from him, another person walked into the cubicle and stood in front of Watson.
"Your Excellency, I hope to be able to buy the ticket in your hand, I am willing to ......"
It was a tall young man in a black waiter's uniform who spoke, and it seemed that he should know the person opposite, so he wanted to buy Watson's position, but he was interrupted by Watson before he finished speaking.
"I refuse. I don't sell my place. β
Watson asked himself if he would not give up his position because he needed to meet Rex at the finish line, so he didn't even want to listen to the other party's offer.
"Sir, the train is about to start, if you don't have a ticket, please get off immediately or I will inform the station immediately. β
The waiter, who had been walking between the carriages, also noticed the situation here, probably thinking that someone was going to force someone to get on the train, so he immediately came over and said.
"Your Excellency, I really want to buy your place, you can make an offer, I am ......"
The young man didn't seem to want to give up, and he wanted to introduce himself, and at the same time, a professional momentum began to emerge on his body, obviously trying to use his strength and status to force Watson to give way.
It's a pity that Watson doesn't eat this, the momentum on the young man's body doesn't make him feel how strong, by the way, he doesn't care which force the man in front of him is, because he doesn't know any force at all, he has only learned to talk with Morry in the past two years, so he simply interrupted the man's words again: "Listen, I don't care who you are, I just know that if you stay here any longer, I don't guarantee that I won't break your leg and throw it out of the car!"
After speaking, Watson's whole body burst out with an aura far stronger than that of a man, as a demon hunter who can kill a copper-toothed werewolf, his strength is even close to the level of a demon hunter, which is definitely not something that a professional with this strength can doubt and offend!
Maybe he didn't expect Watson to be so strong and his attitude was so tough, the young man opened his mouth for a while but couldn't say a word, cold sweat began to ooze from his forehead, the world of professionals is so simple, strength determines everything, and those who don't have strength can only swallow their anger.
The young man knew very well that even if the professional on the other side, who looked younger than himself, really broke his leg, it would not be strange, because it was he who provoked first, and if the weak provoked the strong and was disabled, no one would feel that it was inappropriate, and even some people would think that the strong man was too merciful, and generally it was solved directly on the spot.
"I'm sorry, I offended...... This is a little bit of my heart, please take it, I'll leave immediately!"
The atmosphere froze for a while, the young man still lowered his head, quickly took out the money bag on his body, and held it in front of Watson with both hands, meaning to take the money to eliminate the disaster, if Watson accepted his money bag, then he could leave.
Watson really didn't want to do anything here, he was now more focused on the book he had just read a few pages of, and he didn't intend to waste time, so he picked up the money bag and threw it on the table and sat back.
The young man didn't say a word after giving the money bag, and while retreating, he glanced at the disguised woman opposite Watson, and finally wanted to go up and pull her, but she broke free, and wanted to speak but looked at Watson and the two long knives beside him with fear, so he could only leave the carriage silently.
The train finally started, and Watson didn't say anything after looking at the woman opposite, but continued to drink cold milk tea and read his book.
"Wow......"
The train drove for about half an hour, the canned fish in the dumpling hand was eaten, jumped on the table, raised its paws, and opened another can by itself, and its neat movement also attracted the attention of the woman opposite, and she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Watson was also a little tired of reading the book, and it took a lot of brain power to figure out the content of the book, so he didn't rush for a while, folded a corner in the lower right corner of the book, and then closed the book, intending to rest first.
"Hello, my name is Yi ...... Eamon. β
The woman opposite seemed to be trying to hide her identity, so she casually reported a man's name.
"Watson!"
Watson wasn't much interested in chatting, but basic etiquette was observed, and after a brief announcement of his name, he began to eat the pastries on the table.
"What breed is your cat, it's so smart. β
Aemon stretched out his left hand to touch the dumplings but was avoided by him, and the alien cat was wary of everyone but its owner.
"I don't know, picked it up on the side of the road. β
Watson prevaricated casually, and most people could understand the meaning of wanting to stop chatting, but Aemon didn't notice it......
"Have you ever encountered any powerful monsters? I heard...... Ahem, I mean I've killed a few monsters before, what about you?"
Aemon was busy asking strange questions, and Watson thought that this was a girl who had been poisoned by knightly novels, and thought that all professionals were heroes who fought monsters, so they would get mixed up with this professional train.
"You, an ordinary girl, are not afraid of being trafficked when you get into this train that professionals ride?"
Watson didn't want to hide it either, so he asked dryly.
"You...... Do you see that?"
The corners of Eamon's mouth twitched and said embarrassedly, and his voice was no longer the male voice that was not like before, but a crisp female voice.
