The next morning, Klein Moretti was woken up by a knock on the door, he got up from his bed, touched the pocket watch on the table and looked at the time, it was exactly 7 o'clock.

Melissa was preparing breakfast for the family, and Benson was washing up in the bathroom, so he had to rub his swollen eyes to open the door.

Standing at the door of 2 Daffodil Street was his colleague, Angel Granger, a newcomer to the Nightwatch.

The beautiful blonde woman said to him apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't make it to the appointment on Saturday." ”

Crane, who was not fully awake, took several seconds to understand the meaning of this sentence, and asked in a daze, "What?" ”

Only then did he notice that Angel had a leather suitcase beside him, and instead of the trench coat he usually wore, he wore a long cape with a cape, and under the cloak was a light casual outfit.

"After you left yesterday morning, the captain informed me that there was an urgent mission for me to attend." Angel smiled wryly and pointed to the east side of Daffodil Street, "He told me to pack my weapons and belongings overnight and take the steam train to Port Enmat early this morning." ”

Klein glanced in the direction she was pointing, where the rising sun shone softly across the street, in the direction of the port of Enmat, about a four-hour drive from the city of Tingen.

"Did he tell me what was going on?" Retracting his gaze and looking at Angel in front of him, Klein asked, "How long will it take?" ”

The woman in front of her looked down in thought, as if she was hesitating whether to tell him the details of the mission. Crane stood inside the door, the difference in height of the stairs in front of him making it impossible for him to read the other man's expression.

But Angel quickly looked up, deep purple eyes looking at him.

"He didn't say anything about the specific mission, only said that it was a big operation, and there were a lot of night watchmen in Stonen City, Prydze Harbor and even Beckland, and the team from Tingen City also had to send people over, but now there are not enough people here, so only let me go over to participate."

"If it goes well, I'll be back in a week or so."

The night watch squads in so many places have been mobilized?

Hearing a few place names, Klein secretly drew a map of the Kingdom of Rune in his mind, and found that several large cities east of the Tasok River were among them.

But I'm afraid this will be very inefficient...... Each city draws a few night watchers to form a temporary team, does it really have any combat effectiveness?

After complaining in his heart about the organizational skills of the night watchman, Klein saw that Angel had already lifted the suitcase, and hurriedly said:

"Then I wish you a smooth journey, and when you come back, we will make another appointment."

Angel was visibly stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

"Okay."

As if remembering something, Crane turned around and ran home, stepping up the stairs to the second-floor bedroom, grabbing the things on the desk, and rushing down the stairs again.

"Benson? Klein? What's going on? ”

The sound of stomping on the wooden stairs echoed throughout the house, and her sister Melissa in the kitchen asked suspiciously. Without answering, Klein ran out into the street and found Angel having put his suitcase in the carriage and was talking to the coachman.

"Steam train station, please get there as soon as possible, I can pay twice as much."

Angel has been delayed in saying goodbye to Klein for a long time, and it is possible that she will not be able to catch the first train to Port Enmat, and if you miss the time, the next train will leave in the afternoon and arrive at your destination in the evening.

In order to arrive in time, she promised to double the fare, which made the coachman smile and nodded again and again to indicate that he was familiar with all the shortcuts in Tingen, and that the horses pulling the carts were also notoriously fast, and that he could get people to the station in time.

"Wait, wait a minute."

Crane's voice came from behind him, and Angel looked back in confusion.

"Take this, I just made it."

Crane reached out and handed over a silver pendant.

At the end of the slender silver chain hangs a thumb-length maple leaf-shaped pendant, carved with intricate characters and patterns, all written in Hermesian.

"It's ...... Amulet? ”

Angel raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, she took the pendant, opened the vision, and found that the ornament in her hand emitted a clear spiritual light.

This means that it is a spiritually rich object.

"Yes, I hope it will bless you on a safe journey."

"Thank you!" Angel thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

She knew the intricacies of making amulets, and she had been trying the "Sleep Charm" and "Dream Charm" that Old Neil had taught her all this time, but unfortunately there were few successes and many failures. Even though she has a lot of experience in making special bullets, she has a lot of headaches for the delicate work of carving runes on thin silver sheets.

What's more, the words and patterns on this amulet are far more complicated than the individual charms, and it obviously took a lot of effort from the maker.

Unable to bear to sneer at Klein's kindness, she unbuttoned the slippery button at the end of the silver chain, wrapped her hands around her neck, brushed away the long hair behind her back, closed the button, and then tucked the maple leaf-shaped pendant into the front of her dress.

The silver chain was just the right length, and she tidied it up a bit to put the pendant in the center, and when she looked up and saw Klein's slightly red face, she realized that her actions were not very elegant.

Putting on her hood and tightening her cloak in disguise, Angel thanked her again: "...... Thank you for the amulet, I will take it with me. ”

————————

"Whew-"

A long, high-pitched whistle sounded, and the giant monster-like train made of steel spit out puffs of gray smoke and slowly started heading east, propelled by the steam from the boiler.

Angel arrived at the platform in the last five minutes, showed his ticket and boarded the train to the port of Enmat, if he missed this trip, he would have to wait until the afternoon to get the next train to the same destination, which would miss the agreed arrival time with the night watch team at the port of Enmat.

But even the first train left Angel very little time, and there is no direct rail link from Tingen to the port of Enmat, which will detour to the northeast of the city of Stoun, where it will stop for a while before heading to the port of Enmat, a journey of almost four hours.

Arriving at Port Enmat is expected to be at 11 a.m., leaving her with less than an hour to get to the Port of Enmat's Nightwatch Team Station.

Looking out the window at the low-rise housing that was slowly moving backwards, and feeling the vibration of the wheels passing through the gap between the railroad tracks, Angel found his own seat and sat down, put the suitcase at his feet, and exhaled slowly with a breath that he was in a hurry all the way.

Originally, according to the plan, she had plenty of time to catch the train, but when she went out, she suddenly thought of telling Klein that she would not be able to attend dinner tomorrow evening, so she knocked on the door of No. 2 Daffodil Street, delaying a lot of time.

But even if she misses the train and delays her arrival at the port of Enmat, she will not regret her impulsive actions.

After all, I still received a gift......

Touching the pendant on her chest through her clothes, she made an excuse for the time she had wasted, pulled the leather suitcase at her feet to the table, unbuckled it, and ajar the box to reconfirm its contents.

The trunk was small, with the main space in it for two sets of clothing, followed by a spare revolver and most of the ammunition that was inconvenient to carry around, and she had only the main weapon in the armpit holster and the dagger behind her waist, as well as twelve spare rounds.

In addition to the temporary receipt of 50 pounds, she also carried all the cash with her, not only because she was worried about leaving the money at home after going out for a long time, but also to find an opportunity to buy some potion materials for the promotion of "instigator" in the port of Enmat.

And she remembered the address of one of the craftsmen that the "Hanged Man" had provided, and if she had the opportunity to make this trip to the port of Enmat, she planned to ask about the price of extraordinary weapons.

In the corner of the trunk is a metal box containing a revolver that Cole Granger used before Angel crosses over, as well as a strange item she retrieved from the basement, most likely with the extraordinary properties of the "witch".

It was supposed to be like this......

As she was packing up her belongings last night, she remembered this long-forgotten extraordinary property and was ready to take it with her, to ask someone in the port of Enmat, or to use it to make an extraordinary weapon for the "artisan".

But when she took out the tin box from the dark compartment of the study and opened it, she found that the purple-red gelatinous object shaped like jelly was gone, and the revolver that was placed with it, which had been damaged and could not be used, had undergone a strange change.

Taking the tin box out of the trunk and placing it on his lap, Angel carefully opened the lid.

As soon as a crack was opened, a rich, blood-soaked fluctuation spilled out of the box, and through the crack, the original revolver made of brass was completely black, and even the missing piece of the hammer had been replaced by an unknown substance and became complete again.

She didn't even need to use psionic vision, and she felt a slight sting in her eyes when she looked at the weapon with the naked eye.

This carriage is second-class, and there are not many people at this time, and there are only less than ten people seated in the seats that can seat forty passengers, but the bloody smell that instantly permeates the carriage has attracted a lot of attention.

Seeing that there were already passengers in the carriage frowning and standing up to find the source of the fishy smell, Angel hurriedly re-closed the iron box, and the box with the function of insulating spirituality re-closed the source of the fishy smell, and the fluctuations that spread to the entire carriage disappeared in an instant.

There is no doubt that the extraordinary characteristics of that piece have become one with this revolver......

Remembering the mysterious murmur in his ears and the bloody smell in his nose when he first discovered the extraordinary properties, Angel made this judgment.

According to Old Neil, the revolver is supposed to be a magical item, and it should have some of the abilities of the extraordinary traits, as well as the side effects that come with it.

However, due to her lack of relevant knowledge, she is now unable to use this weapon for the time being, its function is unknown, its negative effects are unknown, and even as soon as she takes it out, it will make people nearby frown and look for the location of the bloody breath......

Perhaps only the "craftsmen" of the port of Enmat can answer these questions and even find a way to use this revolver safely.

Looking out the window at the suburban houses gradually turning into country fields, Angel suddenly looked forward to this trip.
