Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dawn
When I woke up, the night was again enveloping Pornia, and the weather had become cold in recent days, and at night it was foggy, and the whole street seemed hazy.
Remembering that he still had a party to go, Jiang Chenchuan turned over and sat up, rubbed his hair that was flattened by sleep, and stood up to wash and change clothes.
The whistle of a steam tram was heard in the distance, which made Jiang Chenchuan react, the Church of Dawn seemed to have its own express train, which could directly reach the Dawn Cathedral, and the gathering between nobles was always so convenient, and it was as if the world was going to revolve around them.
Of course, there's also an express train departing from Bridget Manor tonight to the factory at the end of the supply chain, passing Bullard Street on the way.
A thin figure, dressed in the clothes of an ordinary worker, carrying small luggage, sneaked up in the night.
The man stood in front of the window, looked at the constant steam coming out of the train, and sighed softly.
"Miss has already gotten in the car."
In the shadow behind him, there was also an inconspicuous middle-aged man, dressed formally and neatly, with slightly white hair, who looked like the butler of the manor.
"Are you sure you don't stop Miss? Lord Duke. β
The man who was called the Duke raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and the lights around the World Tree were always bright, as if the bright beauty would continue forever.
"I've been thinking about it for the past few days, the child has grown up, and there are always all kinds of whimsical ideas, and it's not a good thing to lock her up at home, so let her go out by herself, and she will come back naturally if she hits a wall."
Obviously, for Rena's naΓ―ve dreams, the father, after a short period of anger, also understood that bondage is not a good thing.
"Lord Duke, I have already arranged for someone to protect Miss."
The butler understands the Duke's worries and has already made proper arrangements, he has been working in Brittage Manor for more than forty years, and watching Rena grow up, he naturally has a love between relatives.
"I hope it won't be long before Rena will be able to come back to class and learn how to be a noble lady."
β¦β¦
A thick white mist slowly rises through the underground pipes, and when you pass by the tavern, you can still hear the joyful singing inside, the aroma of wine is always intoxicating, and the prosperity of the night is stored in the huts, which has just begun.
The long whistle of the express train sounded at the end of the thick fog, and the warm air flowed through the streets and alleys, like wandering spirits.
The cold wind was blowing, Jiang Chenchuan held his cane, unconsciously wrapped his windbreaker, and looked at the train slowly stopping on the platform in front of him, with a silver and white body, and a "Dawn" license plate.
The car door opened, and at a glance he saw the clergy in a white robe, he nodded to Jiang Chenchuan, Jiang Chenchuan handed over the invitation letter in his hand, and after the clergy checked it, let him get on the train.
The doors closed, the train restarted, and so silently, burrowed into the fog.
Unlike the cold outside, the interior of the carriage was warm and bright, the floor was covered with a soft velvet carpet, there was no sound when walking, and there was a separate compartment with no one to open at will, and the inside was clean and tidy, and the coffee that had been prepared was still steaming.
Everything was so comfortable.
It made Jiang Chenchuan a little unaccustomed.
The carriage swayed slightly, the compartment was probably made of special soundproofing material, nothing could be heard except the howling wind, and there was still some time to reach the Church of Dawn, so it was better to listen to some news than to wait endlessly.
The notebook says he was able to get clues about the "extraordinary."
When he came to the public car, there were people in different costumes sitting in twos and threes, more deserted than he imagined, eating free refreshments in the carriage, and talking quietly.
Jiang Chenchuan found a small corner that no one paid attention to and sat down, observing silently, the high collar of the trench coat was raised, hiding his expression under the clothes.
ββ¦β¦ Alona ......"
"The release of the Book of Dawn...... The support of the Knowledge Society should be needed...... Sponsor ......"
"Ride...... Yes, the cake was delicious......"
ββ¦β¦ Tournament ...... of the Silver Hook Market The time was set...... Probably next month...... Many aristocrats will be there ......"
After listening to it for a while, most of the conversation was about some inconsequential little things, which made people drowsy.
Just when Jiang Chenchuan's thoughts were empty, there was an extra person in the seat opposite at some point, and he sat down without saying hello.
"Good evening, sir, you look like you need a chat partner."
The man looked younger than Jiang Chenchuan, about in his early twenties, wearing the most common costume of Polnia, and he also looked like a standard Yinglan Beier, with a temperament that was not outstanding, as if he would disappear if he was thrown into the crowd.
"Volkswagen"
This was Jiang Chenchuan's first impression of Ethan Manstein.
"Yes, waiting for someone who is destined."
Jiang Chenchuan replied nonchalantly.
Ethan smiled heartily, took the exquisite meal on the plate of the passing flight attendant, and looked at Jiang Chenchuan curiously while eating:
"I have some impressions of you, if I remember correctly, it seems to ...... What kind of museum is it to work in, the church has not gathered everyone for a long time, and there are many new faces that I don't know, alas, it is estimated that the event is over, so that the meeting can be held with peace of mind. β
"Incident?"
Jiang Chenchuan captured new information for the first time.
"Haven't you heard? Then you should also know that there are four mainstream churches in the entire British North ...... the United Kingdom, and the four major churches manage the faith in their own areas without interfering with each other
In the face of Jiang Chenchuan's doubts, Ethan was happy to answer, and when he talked about it, he came up mysteriously and said:
"I also just learned that in order to solve the riot, the Church of Dawn sent the Knights to solve the problem, and I heard that the blood of that group of rioters stained the armor of the white knights red."
"Knights of the Dawn ......"
It was the most powerful armed force outside of the Royal Knights, and the Church of the Dawn had unimaginable resources at its disposal, and even the nobles had to give them three points, let alone those who believed in Alona.
"Did something happen?"
In general, riots against churches are rare, especially in areas ruled by churches, where the probability of riots is negligible.
Ethan shrugged, shook his head and said:
"I don't know, in other words, everyone who knows the truth except the White Knight, everyone else is dead."
"Really......"
All dead......
The sound of conversation gradually weakened, and suddenly, the train made a long whistle, Jiang Chenchuan looked out the window, it was pitch black outside, and he couldn't see anything.
"It's time to stop."
Ethan spoke suddenly.
As the speed of the train weakened, Jiang Chenchuan saw huge silver-white buildings dotted with lights, poking out of the fog.
Solemn and solemn.
