Transatlantic.

It's not a portal.

Zhang Huaisheng's face showed surprise, portals may have been used indiscriminately in novels, but in this world, they are quite rare.

A reserved smile appeared on Lucia's face: "Only this kind of power is a truly otherworldly miracle." It is a great power that is hard to reach with steam and machinery. ”

Lucia placed her fair, slender palm on the wooden box on the table.

"But do you really want to take this kitten of yours with you, it's dangerous there."

Zhang Huaisheng glanced back at Xiao Hei, as a black cat with very rich spiritual perception, it could feel the terrifying aura coming from Lucia's body.

The claws dug deep into the clothes on his shoulders, digging through two rows of holes.

To say that this cat is also the master of the nest, Zhang Huaisheng wanted to touch it twice more at home, but when he went out, he immediately coaxed him like a quail, and honestly let Zhang Huaisheng hold it.

"I thought it was going to be a long trip," he explains. ”

From Boston to Scandinavia in Northern Europe, even by airship, it will take at least a month to return.

If you leave Blackie to Mr. McCarney, it's no different from free-range.

He only decided yesterday that he wanted to really adopt Xiao Hei, and he had only been together for less than two days, so it was really inappropriate to leave it alone.

Lucia nodded, "I see, but you're right, it's a long trip, but it's on the way back, so bring it with you." ”

Listening to this meaning, this "portal" is still a one-way street.

"Now that you've decided to join us, we'll be our own people from now on."

She took out her wallet, took out a wad of bills, and placed it on the table: "Two thousand pounds in advance promised to you, but your membership in the club is not a reward, but an allowance." ”

"So formal?"

Lucia's tone was a little playful: "Of course, the club may sound loose, but we are very tightly organized internally. ”

Zhang Huaisheng asked casually: "Do you still have documents?" ”

"Of course, there are still black and white photos, even uniforms, but generally no one wants to wear them, at most give a corpse puppet a set."

Lucia's tone paused slightly, and she added, "In the whole club, no one except me knows the true face of the others. ”

"Should I wear a face shield too?"

"It's useless, your body shape and aura, as long as we have seen it, we will not forget that you are from the demon path, and you have no ability to cover up your aura."

After Lucia finished speaking, she said: "Since we have already talked about the treatment before, then it is time to talk about the obligations." ”

Zhang Huaisheng said in a deep voice: "If you don't mention this, I won't be at ease, please speak." ”

From now on, Lucia will be his leader.

As for why not just accept commissions and not join the Controller's Club.

Just think about it, if it is not her own person, how can Lucia be relieved to take it with you?

"First of all, this trip is extremely dangerous, even I may die in that ruins, according to the archaeologists we sent to explore, there, there is even a remnant of the breath of the high sequence."

Seeing that Zhang Huaisheng's face changed slightly, she hurriedly added: "Don't worry, it's just a residual breath, and it's old, according to some traces, it can be judged that the high sequence has left." ”

"Alright, let's get ready to go after dinner."

When we set off, the hall was full of more than a dozen people.

But Lucia only introduced two people, that is, in addition to her and Zhang Huaisheng, only two of these dozen "people" were alive.

One of them was the man named "Laura", corresponding to two men, two women and four corpses, and she was the archaeologist who had been sent to Northern Europe.

The other also corresponds to four female corpse puppets, named Jennifer, who is also an archaeologist.

Zhang Huaisheng has the lowest sequence in this, but if he really fights, Zhang Huaisheng feels that he should be worthy of no one except Lucia.

Lucia opened the wooden box on the table, and on the box, a majestic castle was depicted—it had been detached from the military realm and had some artistic value.

The next moment, Zhang Huaisheng only felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and on his shoulder, Xiao Hei let out a low cry, and he felt a slight tingling pain when he grabbed his claws.

The world is spinning.

Zhang Huaisheng took a deep breath, but was immediately choked by the dust rushing in his face.

They were no longer in the club, but in a dusty room.

Lucia's voice rang out: "This is Ioannisberg, the residence of the Lady of Burgundy in the Low Countries, which belongs to the territory of Brabant, very close to Belgium. ”

"It sounds like a Greek name."

With the suffix Bandis, nine out of ten must be Greeks.

"It's normal, after all, at that time, Greece was still the light of civilization, unlike now, when it had just become independent from the Ottoman Empire."

Lucia explains: "The Lady of Burgundy was not only a Burgundian but also a lord of Walloon in France, Brabant in the Low Countries, Flanders and the Netherlands. ”

"The Lady of Burgundy fell from her horse and lost the title to her husband, Maximilian von Habsburg, then Holy Roman Emperor and Archduke of Austria, which led to a war between France and Austria, which was the beginning of the Franco-Austrian rivalry."

"Now it seems that if the Burgundian lady is a high-order powerhouse, even if it is only the lowest sequence 3 in the high-rank, it will never be as simple as falling from a horse and dying."

"But it's been a long time, and I haven't continued to pursue these dusty truths."

"After all, the main branch of the Habsburg family is extinct, and now the upper branch is the Lorraine branch, and even the big chin that has been passed down from generation to generation in Habsburg is gone."

Zhang Huaisheng was a little puzzled and said, "Madam, how do you know so much?" ”

Lucia curled the corners of her mouth slightly: "Because strictly speaking, I am the descendant of that baroness and Emperor Maximilian." Fortunately, at that time, the Habsburgs did not yet have that iconic big chin. ”

The big chin is the product of consanguineous marriage, and there are more or less genetic diseases between the royal families of continental Europe.

The Burgundian lady Zhang Huaisheng also heard a little about it in her previous life, after all, the Habsburg family began to take off from the marriage to the white rich beauty of Princess Mary.

Because compared to the barren Archduchy of Austria.

Princess Mary's domain, which included the rich Lowlands, was the cornerstone of the rise of the Habsburgs.
