Chapter 356: Two Cups
At that moment, Tesla sped up sharply and pulled Dane through the porch quickly, and the guards around him reacted, but at this time Tesla had already run out of the door with Dane.
But their reaction speed is also very fast, and they directly surround them, and it takes time for the airship to take off, so Tesla and Dane at this moment can almost be said to be inescapable.
But the next moment, he suddenly took out a cane-like thing from his body, which seemed to be hidden under his coat all along.
He twisted the head of his cane away, but instead of a slender cane sword, it resembled a Tesla coil.
He calmly raised the cane in his hand, and at that moment, a bolt of lightning erupted from the tip of the cane, and with the sound of the air being torn, the thunder and lightning split into trees and spread in the air.
The soldiers were struck by lightning and let out howls of pain, and some even froze in place and passed out.
The tip of the cane was black and smoking, and seeing this, Tesla directly pulled Dane onto the empty boat.
Under the effect of that powerful propulsion, the airship quickly lifted into the air.
They flew straight into the clouds, quickly moving away from the summer palace, and when they were safe, Dane breathed a sigh of relief.
"The extent to which Tsarist Russia was infiltrated by Germany was much higher than I thought." Tesla said with a solemn face, "This Nicholas II is another Peter III, a traitor!"
"Do you see something?" Dane said.
"The automaton was made by the Germans." Tesla said, "There must be German people behind us watching us, and if we go a little slower, I guess we won't be able to walk now." ”
Dane's face was solemn, "So what should we do now?" ”
"I can only go find the rest of my allies." Tesla said with a solemn face, "Let's go to the Great Egyptian Empire." ”
"The Great Egyptian Empire?" Dane was a little puzzled, "Can a resource exporter make a difference?" ”
"But that's also the country closest to Serbia and capable of playing a role in this war, although Beichen and Britannia are strong, they are far from quenching their thirst, and"
Tesla's voice was low, "Don't underestimate this country, when this country was established, no one thought it would last long, but I didn't expect that it has existed for more than a hundred years."
No one knows who the pharaoh of the current Great Egyptian Empire is, and no one has ever seen him.
Legend has it that the current Great Egyptian Empire is still the pharaonic ruler named Ramses II. ”
Dane's eyes widened slightly, "Isn't he already over a hundred years old?" ”
"It's a mysterious, ancient land." Tesla said calmly, "It's very closed, no one knows the real situation inside, and there should be some unknown secrets inside." ”
Dane didn't speak, but soon, a familiar hum from the side caused his complexion to change slightly.
The goggles he put on poked out of the porthole, and in the distant clouds, several gyroplanes flew towards them, even firing at them.
A bullet grazed his scalp and nearly shot him in the head. After walking before the ghost gate closed, Dane panicked and retracted his head.
Tesla also saw the planes, and the radio communication of the control panel in front of him also made a sizzling sound, and soon, a sound came from inside.
"Unknown type of airship, you have violated the airspace of the Russian Empire, please identify yourself immediately and dock the airboat, otherwise we will attack."
Didn't you already fire, Dane complained.
Tesla didn't answer, but directly turned off the radio and pushed the lever to the end, and the thrusters of the airboat suddenly lit up with a blue macro light, and the airboat accelerated forward sharply for a distance. They all felt a sense of pushing back.
The cold wind blowing through the airship was mixed with an unfamiliar sound. It was a distinctive roar, like the sound of an engine, but soon he saw in the distance a winged thing approaching, almost as fast as the airship.
There were roaring engines on each wing, two thick clouds of black smoke were withdrawn, and the machine guns at the front of the plane were pouring tongues of fire frantically, and some bullets even penetrated the capsule.
Tesla was very calm and pulled the putter directly, and Dane heard the power engine change tone, and the whole world seemed to start tilting.
A powerful push back sensation pushed him backwards for some distance, slamming into the cabin as they quickly fell into the clouds and shook off the planes.
Still, the engines inside the airboat are getting louder and louder, and finally.
"Boom!"
Dane heard a popping sound, black smoke coming out of the tail end of the empty boat.
But fortunately, the structure of the airship itself has a gliding function, and it is not like an airplane that will only crash after losing its engine, and Tesla controlled the airship to slowly land in the forest on the edge of the city.
As the airship made contact with the ground, Dane felt a heavy impact that made him dizzy.
The airship slid forward for some distance, but was successfully stopped by Tesla.
He quickly pulled Dane off the airboat, and then took a lot of branches with many leaves from all around to cover the airboat, and Dane reacted and quickly helped cover the airboat.
Then, they followed Tesla to the side of the city, and they moved quickly.
"What do we do now?" Dane asked.
"We don't have a shortage of diesel, but the engine is broken, we just need some materials and tools." He replied.
They are still Moscow in Tsarist Russia, the second largest city outside of St. Petersburg, where Tesla deliberately landed during a forced landing.
Because he's been here in the past and knows where to buy what they want.
They entered the big market of the city.
It was a labyrinth of gaslamps, with high ceilings lined with shops. Vendors shouted lamps, bed sheets, large liebas, sweets, and mechanical parts, and spoke a wide variety of languages, but they were all familiar.
Mechanical creations weave through the crowd, steaming engines roasting chestnuts and meat skewers – what appears to be a mobile food truck.
The mechanical parts shop is located at the end of the market, and the room is cool, quiet and gloomy when you look through the wide open door.
"What's the matter?"
A voice in the shadows asked, eyes adjusting to the light in the room, and Dane saw a workbench full of gears and springs, and saw a man staring at them.
The bigger machines were piled up against the walls—axles and pistons everywhere, and a full engine in the shadows.
"Buy some accessories." Tesla said.
The man looked them up and down, "The things I have here are not cheap. ”
"That's enough." Tesla drops a money bag on the workbench. The money bag smashed against the wood with a muffled thud, and it was stuffed with gold coins.
The man raised an eyebrow and nodded.
Tesla Card began to list the gears, spark plugs, and electrical accessories needed. The shopkeeper asked a few questions from time to time, but his eyes never took his eyes off the purse.
Dane listened to their conversation and noticed that his father had changed his accent. He usually spoke quickly, but his pronunciation was clear, and now he looked like a Tsarist Russian.
At this time, Dane noticed some people in military uniforms running through the street, and they were going from house to house holding a photo and asking for something.
From this angle, it can be clearly seen that it is his father Tesla in the photo.
He glanced at the shopkeeper and saw that he was also looking at the soldier across the street with that gaze, and seemed to have noticed the picture as well.
The store fell silent, and the pins could be heard.
Tesla stepped forward and dropped a gold coin on the table.
"You haven't seen us."
Then he pulled Dane out through the side door.
The alley is like a miniature version of the big market, the street is lined with stalls the size of wardrobes and small tables piled high with candy, big meat, and big columns, and the two people are speeding through the alley to attract passers-by to look back.
Dain heard the clashing of guns and belts as they ran, and behind them, a soldier ran out, followed by a burst of gunfire and a few sparks flying from the nearby stone wall.
The crowd around them stirred, and another bullet grazed Dane's side, and there was no doubt that the group was coming for their lives.
Tesla led Dane into a fork in the road between the two buildings, the alley was narrow, but there were no people. The pair's boots made a splash in the puddle in the middle of the alley.
The alley led neither to the big market nor to the street—it was like a ring of pipes and wiring pipes everywhere, and it was getting darker and darker, and in a moment they were lost.
But they could still hear the footsteps of the people around them.
The footsteps were getting closer, and it seemed like they were about to meet them.
Despair gradually loomed over them.
However, while walking around an alley corner, they were surprised to find a shop.
A tavern, to be exact.
On the doorknob of the main gate hangs: [OPEN]
Through the glass of the door, it seems that there is no one inside, and the door above reads:
The words "Merlin Tavern".
Who would open a tavern in such a place where no one is around?
Dane turned his head to look at his father, who was standing in a daze, looking at the tavern in distraction.
He had some difficulty describing the emotion in his father's eyes.
Afraid?
It seems to be a little, but not to the point of fear, but the surprise seems to be a little more.
But even so, Tesla pulled him open the door of the tavern.
"Jingle Bell~"
"Welcome."
Hearing the familiar voice, Tesla's heart rippled slightly.
Not only the sounds, but even the premise of entering this tavern is the same, and it is also the same to be chased into the alleyway.
But the difference is that at that time, I was in Croatia, and now, I am thousands of miles away in Moscow.
However, both the gate and the layout of this tavern were exactly the same as the tavern he had entered in Croatia at that time.
Mr. Merlin, whom he had met decades ago, stood behind the bar, flicking the shaker jug and making a cocktail with graceful movements, with two glasses in front of him.
Like, it's for them. (End of chapter)
