In addition, I will announce that I will go out to play tomorrow, and I will update it when I have time to come back, and I will have to make up for it the day after tomorrow if I am too late
The three of them chatted casually, but in fact Vidal was talking alone, Gehr only occasionally interjected to direct the conversation to where he wanted to hear, and Camerita simply listened and didn't speak.
Gehr could see that this dark-skinned hairy guy just wanted to show off in front of Camerita, just like a male peacock opening the screen for a female peacock, mostly out of the instinct of a man of this age, and a sense of superiority over his local identity, but there was no malice.
Time passed quickly in small talk, and it wasn't long before it was time for the train to depart, and the conductor outside shouted loudly to greet those passengers who had not yet boarded the train.
Some of the passengers who were chatting on the platform with people who were presumably friends and family immediately said goodbye to them and rushed to the train.
The interior of the train is a traditional way of setting up seats, divided into left and right sides, the middle is the aisle, each side is two two-seaters opposite each other, Gehr's side, he and Carmelita are a double seat, the double seat opposite is originally Vidal alone, but now there is a gray-haired old man among the passengers who rushed up to the point There happened to be one of them in this position, and came to Vidal to sit down.
Realizing that there was an extra stranger beside him, and it was also an old man, Vidal did not seem accustomed to continuing to speak in such a situation, so he stopped talking and stopped speaking for the time being.
Seeing that Vidal stopped, Geer had no intention of stirring up the topic again. His gaze turned, and naturally fell on the old man in front of him, who looked to be in his sixties.
Maybe I'm a little tired. As soon as he sat down, the old man leaned back in his chair and began to close his eyes, sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and conspicuous age spots. The old man's body was filled with an unconcealable twilight.
In the past, Gehr had not seen the old man, but after witnessing the mysterious and interesting part of this world, seeing the scene in front of him, Gehr's heart suddenly floated with an inexplicable emotion.
Will I be like this in the future?
Lost the motivation to move forward, no pursuit and no hope, just got by every day, lost all the vitality that dared to fight and dare to break through, not only the body was old and decaying. Even the mind has grown old and weak.
Just thinking about this kind of scene made Geer uncontrollable and oozed some cold sweat.
"Gehr, what's wrong with you?" Carmerita, who was also quite keen, immediately noticed Gehr's abnormality, and gently held Gehr's left wrist with her right hand, with a look of concern.
"It's fine. Gerhoran woke up, turned his head to look at the goddess official beside him, and shook his head with a smile.
Camerita looked at Geer's face for a moment, and after a while, she didn't say anything more, and sat down again.
"Are you feeling unwell? I brought some medicine. If you have a cold, a stomach problem, or a motion sickness, would you like to have some?" asked Vidal with some concern.
"No need. It's just a little uncomfortable, and it'll be fine in a while. Gehr smiled and rejected his kindness.
"Well, you can count it yourself. If you are still uncomfortable, you can just say it, and I will bring a little bit of all kinds of medicine. The body is the most important thing, don't push yourself. My grandma said ......"
In Vidal's fragmented thoughts, Gehr lazily leaned against the side of the window, looking through the square window at the fantastical scene on the platform outside, and seemed to lose interest in everything for a moment.
At this time, Gehr suddenly remembered Bellive, the man who suddenly turned to him. Although the establishment of the faith channel cannot be faked, this incident happened so suddenly that Gehr has never been able to believe in the other party. But now, Gell has a real understanding of Bellive's behavior.
It all stems from the fear of aging.
Now Belif looks about fifty years old, but his physical skills are no worse than those of a man of the golden age of about thirty, but according to himself, he is already seventy years old, and he is completely using the secret method of the Holy Spirit Sect on the use of faith feedback power to maintain his current physical condition, it is said that there are predecessors in their church who used this secret method to live to nearly two hundred years old before dying of illness, and the heyday of the body has also been maintained for a long time.
Originally, Belif had been able to maintain the appearance and physical condition of his twenties, but due to the end of the Thirty Years' War, Pope Proptus was successfully assassinated by the assassin group formed by various countries, and he could only rely on the soul dagger to barely maintain the soul and body connection, but the faith channel has been almost broken, making it difficult for Belif to get feedback from the Pope's pure faith power, and it is difficult to continue the maintenance of the secret method, his face has been aging over the years, and his body has begun to weaken, which is also the fundamental reason why he is eager to resurrect the Pope and later does not hesitate to convert to Gehr。
The root of it all is fear, especially the sense of loss that was originally held in your hand but suddenly lost one day, which is even more unbearable.
Now Gehr was able to understand Bellive's thoughts.
The platform outside the window began to retreat silently, except for the slight vibration and metal grinding sound at the beginning of the start, the special train was silent.
Gehr opened the window and looked down, revealing a silvery substance that looked like glue underneath the carriage.
"This is the body fluid secreted by the glitter snail that minimizes frictional resistance. The old man sitting across from Gehr opened his eyes, looked at Gehr's behavior, and suddenly opened his mouth.
"I see, Xie Luxie. Gehr withdrew his head from the window and nodded to the old man with a smile.
"Nothing. The old man smiled, and then continued to close his eyes.
The carriage is very quiet, and it seems that not many people have the desire to chat in the underground environment, and it is easy to feel a little sleepy when looking out the window at the regressing but uniform black passage walls.
After squinting against the window for a while, I spent three hours in a daze, and the train was about to arrive at the station.
"Coming to Ponumo Town Station, please be ready to get off the train. The conductor walked through the passage and said out loud the caution that was about to arrive at the station.
It didn't take long. There was a slight tremor in the body, and Gehr could clearly feel the speed of the car slowing down.
Continue to slow forward for a while. Gehr saw the station again, and the train slowly stopped.
It's a bit different from the station in Aimenas. The station here is significantly smaller and less crowded, making it a bit deserted.
When the train comes to a standstill, the conductor opens the door and pushes the steel plate out of the canopy to fill the gap between the train and the platform.
The passengers got up and walked out of the train down the aisle, towards the diagonal staircase that led to the ground.
Outside the Red Tower, which was identical to Emmenas, the two of them said goodbye to Vidal in the square in front of the tower.
Originally, Vidal wanted to continue to invite Gel and Carmelita to act together. However, after Carmelita deliberately put her hand on Gehr's hand and leaned her head sideways on Gehr's shoulder, he left in silence.
"Hopefully it won't affect the exams he was taking. Gehr looked at the goddess next to him who had returned to her original state after Vidal left, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"If he can't bear this, then he'd better forget it as soon as possible. In this regard, the goddess official seemed very indifferent.
"He's just a kid under twenty years old...... Gell smiled a little bitterly.
"Do you think you're qualified to say that?" asked Carmelita rhetorically, chuckling.
Gehr was stunned, he remembered that his actual physical age was still half a year old before he turned eighteen, and it was impossible to calculate that he was even older than Dahl.
Looking at the goddess official, Gehr shook his head slightly: "Carmelita." You've changed a lot. ”
"Haven't you changed a lot since I first saw you?"
The two looked at each other for a while, smiled at the same time, and tacitly agreed not to continue the topic. Walk towards the ticket gate.
After exiting the ticket gate, the two saw a lot of people waiting outside, some of whom were picking up people. But it's more about solicitors.
All of them are like beasts foraging for food, with keen and accurate eyes staring at every passenger who leaves the station but has no pick-up staff.
Gel and Carmerita had just stepped out of the rut. Several middle-aged men and women rushed up.
"Do you need a car, gentleman?"
"Beautiful young lady. Do you have a place to stay? Our Alice Inn is one of the most famous hotels in Bonomo. ”
"Come on, come on, take a look at our bills, there may be what you need. ”
......
Gell stopped in front of Carmelita, pushed the crowd away, and walked quickly through the group's barrier.
"Where are we going next?" Outside the station was a vast meadow, and the green in her eyes suddenly made the fatigue of the journey disappear without a trace, and Carmerita looked around with interest, and then looked at Gehr, waiting for his decision.
"Let's get a guide first. Gehr thought about it and made a decision.
"Well, let's go there, then. ”
The goddess pointed to the left front, and Gehr looked over there, where there was a large open space, on which many white ox carts were parked, and behind them were large bodies dragged like a piece of fluffy white bread.
The bullock carts are neatly arranged and look very formal, not to mention the large wooden sign on the edge of the open space with two long wooden poles, on which are written a few large characters of the General Tourism Management Office of the town of Bonumo, which gives the clearest instructions to the tourists who come here.
Walking forward, the two followed behind the fenced line.
The procession was fast enough to be met with Gil and Carmelita, who, after paying a total of three silver coins, were led by a young girl in a red and white uniform to one of the ox carts, each of whom was given a free route map.
"Hello Sir, Miss, I am Emma, the tour guide of the No. 142 tour bus, and I am honored to serve you. Please get on the bus and wait, the bus will leave shortly......"
The uniformed girl led the two to an ox cart, and a brown-haired, eyed girl greeted them, with a standardized smile on her freckled face. (To be continued......)
