Volume I: The Golden Pocket Watch Chapter 208: Langxiang Library

After determining the address, Venason plans to go directly to the night watch base camp to go through the formalities before going home, and maybe wait for Erin's dinner.

At this moment, a railroad carriage approached, and the sound of wheels hitting the track came from far and near, and a double-decker carriage stopped in front of the station on North Cross Street.

"Go to the Lang Township Church on the Rhine." Venason said to the coachman.

"No problem, sir, but the train will pass through the town square in the Hill district and then arrive at the Langxiang Church in the East Quarter, and will not get there early, which is the rule for public railcars, and the same is true in other cities, you need to follow the order of the stops, well, you know." The coachman saw the young man waiting from the steam train station in front of him, and he was dressed well, thinking that he was a gentleman from a foreign country, so he explained the route.

"Well, follow the route and remind me on the banks of the Rhine." Venason nodded in agreement.

"Yes sir, it's more than 12 kilometres in total, 14 pence in total." Next to the coachman, a white young man stretched out his hand and showed a healthy smile.

He is the staff member responsible for collecting money.

"Okay." Vinason pulled 14 copper pennies out of his pocket and handed them to the other party.

He stepped into the carriage and found that there were not many passengers, and even the first floor had several empty seats.

"The bus in my memory is different, it's just that I haven't come back for a while, has it changed so much? Normally, this point should be full before ......" Venason pressed his hat and sat down steadily.

"Because of an extraordinary invasion, the rich and middle class have left Farslangka for Huttonmar." On this floor, there was a lady wearing a black gauze skirt and a silk felt hat, and she spoke softly.

"Transcendent events?" Venason asked softly, pretending not to know.

"Outlander? It's best not to know, there's nothing to talk about about that matter, otherwise the curse will spread to you. The lady said lightly, then waved her hand and motioned for the coachman to stop.

She stepped out of the car with a light step, and Venason saw through the window that she was walking straight into the quiet road.

This is the quietest section of the Northern Cross District, where the streets are made up of different gravel, red stone bricks, and white sheathstones, and when evening comes, the crimson moonlight hangs high, and the quiet road shimmers with a cold white silence.

The principle of illuminating darkness without installing street lamps is one of the powers of the god of light.

It didn't take long for her to walk towards the huge square, where the palatial and tranquil church stood tall and radiated pure and peaceful power in the direct sunlight.

"Isn't it a beautiful lady? To be honest, I advise you not to attack her idea, her name is Frieza, and she is the bishop of the Holy See of Light, and it is not something that ordinary people like us can touch. ”

A middle-aged male gentleman sitting upright in a formal suit, leisurely reading a newspaper, opened his mouth to remind.

"Thank you, a very beautiful woman, but I remember the last time I came to Faslanka, the bishop of the Church of Tranquility was a man, right? Now a substitution? ”

"Luan Jace, you're talking about this man, he's the last bishop of the Church of Tranquility, an evil man who was tempted by the Mother Goddess of Desire, and single-handedly caused the Black Goat to descend."

"Because of this scum crucified on the Pillar of Shame, the Night's Watch, the Sun Crusade, the Poseidon Law Enforcement Team, and the Light Crusade...... The official action team of the Church of the Four Gods was completely wiped out. ”

"This is the most serious extraordinary incident in recent years, because the leakage of supernatural power is now a taboo topic in Faslanka, and everyone who talks about it is very likely to be contaminated by supernatural power."

"Ordinary people will be polluted when they talk about it?"

Venason turned his head to look at the gentleman, only to see him slowly remove the newspaper to reveal a pair of eyes that sparkled like emeralds.

Her face was very beautiful and moving, her long golden hair was slightly curly in the wind, and her delicate and three-dimensional facial features were as exquisite as carvings.

Venason looked closely, and under the yellow retro robes, countless tentacles were clustered, each of which was extending outward and squirming.

A golden pocket watch suddenly appeared in his hand, and the woman's eyes were focused on Venathan's face, and she smiled softly:

"All the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked...... The tide of the times will push you forward, and the moment you choose your supernatural powers, the enemies and factions are already clear, this is the first attack against you, and the attack is far from over, giving up is an act of cowardice, if you can go step by step to the zenith, you will gain the power of the gods to smile at you......"

Venason opened his eyes suddenly, dense beads of sweat oozing from his back, was it a dream?

"I dreamed of Naia?"

As a mathematician in sequence 3, dreaming for no reason must be abnormal, what does this portend, is it a precursor, a prophecy, or a reminder?

"Step by step, reach the zenith, and gain the power of the gods to smile on me...... Is this a disguised motivation for me? And the factions, the enemies, what do these represent? ”

Vinason closed his eyes again and meditated, ignoring the comings and goings of the passengers around him.

Stop after stop, and finally, he heard the words "on the Rhine".

After getting out of the public carriage and inquiring along the road, he soon came to the Langxiang Church and saw a cross painted with a crimson color.

Venason stretched out his right hand and pushed hard, and the heavy church door slowly opened, and the smell of sawdust and parchment rushed in.

Seeing the configuration of the interior of the church, Venason was stunned for a long time, although the second floor is indeed a library, and the current collection of books has obviously occupied the position of the church on the first floor.

The Night's Watch stronghold is really ...... I don't know how to complain...... He shook his head and smiled, and went up the stairs, stretched out his right hand, and tapped lightly on the half-hidden familiar wooden door.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A slow, rhythmic knock on the door echoed, but there was no response from the second floor, only the faint sound of a telegraph-like "da-da-da-da".

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Vinason repeated it again, the same result as before.

He simply changed it to push, crunched, and looked in, and saw a wood-colored table, and a brown-haired girl with her head down and sending a telegram behind it.

Haven't seen it before, it's a newcomer to the Night's Watch?

Wait, Mr. Joseph, Beswick's letter says the captain is still alive...... Vinason looked around apprehensively, leaning closer and looking at the girl in front of him.

Very young, probably in his twenties, with slightly curly long brown hair, a face with freckles, amber eyes, and a light green Ghent style light sheep's hoof sleeve long dress, with beautiful lace embroidered on the cuffs, neckline, chest, etc...... Well? Not the Ghents, like the Chabaitines?

Venason walked over to the table, the sunlight was blocked by the broad back, and the shadows fell, and the brown-haired girl sat up straight, her hands jerking off the earpiece from her ears, and she looked at the man in front of her with some confusion.

"Follow-up Investigation Xiangwen" ...... Is it an investigation into a transcendent event...... Venason silently read the words on the telegram, looking up toward his side.

"Hey, who are you? How did you get up? ”

The brown-haired girl asked, stunned, and as she spoke, she quickly put away the message on the table.

"Hello, I'm Vinason van der Rohe, and I'm here at the invitation of Mr. Joseph Paxton." Venason took off his half-height silk top hat, placed it on his chest, and bowed slightly.

"Captain Joseph...... Okay, you wait here, I'll ...... You said your name was Vinason...... Ah, you're Vinason van der Rohe? The girl hurriedly got up, her eyes showing disbelief.
