Volume 1 The Investigator Chapter 39 The Evan Lyn Neighborhood
The crisp doorbell rang ten times in a row, and only then did the quiet room ring.
"Who? What's the fun in the early morning? It's not open yet! ”
Leon is well aware that this is Guico. Serge's voice.
Sure enough, it was Ji Ke who opened the door of the store. Serge, with his trademark dark brown messy hair, yawned in a linen nightgown, and 7374 obediently followed behind and looked at Leon.
"Good morning, Captain Gico." Leon took off his top hat and said hello first, not forgetting to rub 7374's head, "You're early, little thing." ”
Seeing that the person who came was Leon, Gico. Serge instantly came to his senses, "Mr. Leon, it turned out to be you, I thought it was some guy who didn't have a brain to come early in the morning to have fun." ”
Seeing 7374 enjoying the rubbing, Leon smiled softly and continued, "I'm sorry to bother you so early, this is your shop?" ”
"Yes, going to sea is a hobby, and taverns are the main business." Ji Ke. Searle leaned against the door and said indifferently.
"Very good main business, but can you not ......" Glancing at his surroundings, Leon held back the rest of his words.
Ji Ke. Serre didn't notice Leon's words, and yawned and said: "Open a tavern when you're idle and bored, come in, but it's a bit messy inside, there were a few ignorant imps who made trouble with me yesterday, and I haven't cleaned it up yet." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." In Gico. At Serge's beckoning, Leon walked into the low building.
What caught my eye was a mess, the tables and chairs were almost all damaged to varying degrees, lying crookedly on the floor full of turbid liquid and broken glass slag, the wine cabinet at the bar in the corner was empty, several wine barrels were broken in two, and the kerosene wall lamps on the wall were missing many handles, and I don't know where they went.
I'm afraid it's a world war, right?
In such an environment, Leon only felt speechless.
"There's a guest resting upstairs, then, find a place to sit down." Ji Ke. Serge casually set up a broken stool and pointed to the barrel behind Leon.
"Captain Gico, you're joking, do you think there's still a place to sit here?" Leon glanced at him and smiled helplessly: "I'll get down to business, can you take me to see the Transcendent Association you mentioned last time?" ”
"You figured it out so quickly?" After that, Ji Ke. Serge picked up a slightly fuller bottle on the floor and poured some into his mouth.
"You've heard about what happened in the town of Horin these days, right?" Leon replied.
"I've heard that it's different from what happened on the landlubber, and you want to be transcendent because you're afraid of Pandya. Jones revenge? "Gico. Serge put down the bottle and said.
"Becoming a transcendent can help me get to the bottom of this matter sooner, and no more innocent people can be victimized." Lyon is the right way.
Ji Ke. Serge looked Leon in the eye, paused and said, "He is worthy of the man I fancie." ”
Since the landlubber incident, Gico. Serge had a new understanding of Leon, vaguely remembering that he was just a weak scholar and not good at words when he first went to sea, and he didn't know if he was deliberately hiding or what had happened, and since he woke up in the morgue, he seemed to have changed as a different person, and he had become extremely decisive in his actions, sharp in his words, and had a strong reasoning ability.
Although Gico. Serge was complimenting himself, but Leon always thought it was strange.
Big brother, appreciate and appreciate, let's say yes, it's not good if someone misunderstands it.
Without waiting for Leon to reply, Gico. Searle stood up and motioned for 7374 to climb up his shoulder, then turned and walked up the stairs to the side, saying as he went, "When I change into a decent outfit, I still need to wear something more formal to the Transcendental Society." ”
"Okay." Leon nodded in response, putting the top hat on his hand back on top of his head.
After a while, Ji Ke, dressed in a brown suit, with messy hair and a short stick. Serge led Lyon towards the East End, and 7374 was killed by Gico. Searle stayed at home and didn't take it with him.
The eastern part of the town of Holin is the Evan Lin neighborhood, which is dominated by churches, and the branches of several sects that the citizens of the Shavant Kingdom believe in are in this area, such as the Sect of Knowledge and Life, and the Sect of the Blue Sea......
Of course, the Clockwork Society is also in this neighborhood.
This is a square-style block, the center of the block is a square of about 440,000 square meters, the floor of the square is laid by white jade floor tiles, the center is a statue of a goddess, the statue of the goddess is dozens of meters high, the face is carved extremely exquisitely, lifelike, she is gentle like water, she tilts her head and holds her slender hands, between the hands is a transparent object in the shape of a water droplet, and a young fetus can be vaguely seen in the water droplet.
This is the statue of the Mother Goddess of Life, the Mother Goddess worshiped by the Life Sect.
The Cult of Life is the state religion of the Shavat Kingdom, and even the king is a believer in the Mother Goddess of Life, so it is not surprising that there is such a statue of the Mother Goddess standing in the center of the square.
In fact, the Sect of Knowledge and Life in the Kingdom of Shavant is two sects of different faiths, the relationship between the two sects is close, and the bishops of the two sects are brothers and sisters, so they are often called the Sect of Knowledge.
The Life Fusion is a new species developed by these two sects together.
Leon looked at the statue of the Mother Goddess in the center of the square, and suddenly a strange feeling filled his body, and a voice called to him in his ear, and this voice was as beautiful as a trickle of water. I even felt that the little fetus in the water droplet in the mother goddess's hand was glowing with blue light, shining slightly.
Unconsciously, Leon was accidentally bumped by a passerby, and when he came back to his senses, the strange feeling and blue light dissipated in an instant.
Passers-by apologized repeatedly, and Leon responded with two words and looked at the statue of the mother goddess, this time the strange situation did not appear.
Hallucinations from not sleeping well last night?
After making sure that there was no recurrence of the anomaly, Leon retracted his attention and quickly followed Gico. Serge's footsteps.
Walk through the square to the north side of the square, where the streets are as neat as Wall Quarter, but there aren't many horse-drawn carriages coming and going, and people mostly walk and almost all dress in church attire.
The ecclesiastical architecture here varies in style, Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, ...... Of course, there are also factory buildings made of gears and mud and stone that are incompatible with these ecclesiastical buildings.
At the entrance of these buildings stands statues of the main gods of their respective churches.
Along the way, Leon sees a number of clockwork spirits, dressed in different costumes, following behind their master.
"Do you know why I didn't bring 7374 to this block?" Ji Ke. Serge suddenly spoke.
Leon pointed to the clockwork spirits passing by, "Because of them?" ”
"Yes! I don't know what Rooney III thinks, but he actually passed the proposed bill of the Anti-Life Fusion Association, supported the mass production of demons, and suspended the development and production of life fusions. "Gico. Searle glanced at the clockwork spirit who had already walked away, and said disdainfully.
"This is a political issue in the kingdom, and it is not something we can figure out." Leon disagreed, he was a neutral person, and he was not interested in the contradictions between the two associations.
"Hey, I hope the Marquis of Flinnan will step down as soon as possible, otherwise there will only be more and more clockwork toys on this street." Ji Ke. Serge shook the short stick in his hand and sighed.
Leon didn't reply, just followed closely after Gico. Behind Searle, compared to the Clockwork Spirit, he was more interested in Gico. Serre's baguette was more interested, and he didn't know what kind of 'legacy' it was.
