Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 201 Reliability is Zero

October 1, Wednesday.

When Ember arrived at the platform of Conston Station, he found that the track in front of the platform was empty and the special train that was supposed to be parked on the platform was nowhere to be seen.

Ikanser, who was also waiting on the platform, stepped forward and greeted with a smile:

"Good morning. The special train is still being prepared. You may have to wait for a while."

Yu Jin nodded slightly to show his understanding, and glanced at the "large army" behind Ikanser, and said pointedly:

"I remember there weren't so many people when you came?"

When they set out from Backlund, there were only two Mechanical Heart teams, including Ikanser, totaling eight people. But now the entire platform is almost full, with at least a hundred people. And from their uniforms, it is not difficult to see that they are all members of Mechanical Heart, led by Bruce who came to greet Ikanser yesterday.

Ikanser was not surprised by his question and simply explained:

"They are all members of the Mechanical Heart from various churches across the country. They gathered in Constantin in advance just to take our special train to Trier. After all, this opportunity is rare, and it is impossible for only a few of us to go."

After a pause of one second, Ikanser said half-jokingly:
"You may not believe this, but even though I'm a believer in the Church of Steam, I've never been to Trier, or even to the Republic of Intis. I heard that place is quite open, and I think it would be a good fit for me."

Audrey looked at Ikanser in surprise. Although Trier's scandals were far more than Backlund's, and the "enthusiasm" and "openness" of the Intis people were well known to everyone in the Northern Continent, in Audrey's impression, Ikanser was not that kind of person. This was not because Audrey had a deep understanding of Ikanser, but only a conclusion drawn through a simple comparison.

For example, it was not strange that the members of the Mechanical Heart behind Ikanser would occasionally glance at Audrey. Audrey was used to this kind of thing. There were many such people every time she appeared in public.

But Ikanser was the exact opposite. His eyes hardly ever fell on Audrey. Even when he occasionally glanced at her, his eyes were calm and neither enthusiastic nor eager. Audrey even felt that Ikanser looked at Yu Jin more often than she did...

And the look he gave Yu Jin always gave Audrey an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Audrey was a little suspicious and was about to ask Yu Jin secretly, but Yu Jin suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the crowd. Audrey was a little strange, but she did not resist, but obediently let him pull her away.

Anne, the personal maid, seemed to be hesitant to speak when she saw this scene, but in the end she chose to ignore it and pretended she saw nothing.

At the same time, Audrey also noticed the various gazes coming from behind her——

Most of them were envious and jealous, coming from the ordinary young members of the Mechanical Heart. In addition, there was a slightly bitter and helpless look, which came from the leader of the Mechanical Heart, Ikanser Bernard.

When they were far away from Ikanser and the others, Yu Jin let go of the girl's soft little hand and suddenly said:
"He's Nantone, be careful."

"Eh?"

Audrey blinked. This was not the first time that Yu Jin emphasized this point, proving that he really felt that Deacon Ikanser was worthy of vigilance and caution.

And Audrey also knew that the word 'Nan Ketone' was invented by Emperor Roselle.

But the problem is, if Deacon Ikanser is Nandon, then you should be the one who should be careful!

Audrey complained quietly in her heart.

"Woo!"

Just then, a melodious whistle sounded from afar, echoing in every corner of the platform.

At the end of the sight, a huge steam train locomotive like a monster, dragging more than twenty carriages, slowly stopped at the platform.

This was a normal scene, but Audrey noticed something was wrong almost instantly -

They were in the direction where the special train was coming from, and they could see the whole train, from the front to the back.

At the rear of the train, there were three carriages that were completely different from the twenty or so carriages in front. The walls of the other carriages had many windows, but these three carriages had no windows on their outer walls. The entire carriage seemed to be a whole, tightly wrapped in thick metal armor, airtight, and Audrey could not even see any trace of a "door" on the carriage.

Audrey was sure that these three carriages were not there when they set out from Backlund, because the special train only had 24 carriages at that time, but now there are 27 carriages in total. There was no stop along the way, so these three carriages could only have been connected during the "preparation" after arriving in Constanton.

The special features of these three carriages can be seen at a glance. These three carriages must contain something very important...

"Sealed item!"

Audrey guessed the answer immediately. Only a sealed object was worthy of the Steam Church's attention. And this was at least a Level 1 sealed object. It was very powerful, but also very dangerous, so a special carriage was needed.

"coming!"

Ikanser's eyes became serious, and he whispered, "Bruce, you lead..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

I turned around subconsciously, only to find that Bruce, who was standing next to me, had disappeared!

Ikanser suddenly turned his head to the left, only to find that Bruce had appeared more than ten meters away and was waving at him awkwardly.

Ikanser was frowning, he knew exactly what the other party was worried about!
It's true that he is Nandun, but he is not blind. How could he fall for a jerk like you, Bruce? !

At the same time, Yu Jin and Audrey had boarded the special train and returned to their compartment.

Audrey lowered her voice and asked:
"Ember, did you find it?"

"Ah."

Yu Jin nodded slightly and said slowly, "Don't worry about what's inside. It has nothing to do with us."

Audrey nodded silently. Since the Steam Church dared to use a special train to transport those "sealed objects", they must have made proper arrangements. As long as there were no accidents along the way, these sealed objects should not affect them.

As for the reason why the Steam Church transported Conston's seal to the Republic of Intis, that was an internal matter of the Steam Church and had nothing to do with them.

Woo~!

As the whistle sounded again, the train started slowly, dragging one carriage after another towards the distance.

The next stop is the city of Dilis in the Republic of Intis! Like the city of Constantin, the city of Dilis is also located on the coast of the Sea of ​​​​Intermediate.

This is because the Jianhai, as the sea area where the Republic of Intis, the Feysac Empire, and the Kingdom of Loen meet, has a very important geographical location. Whether it is the commercial trade between the three countries or the need to defend against the enemy's attack from the Jianhai, the three countries have actively or passively built large cities along the coast of the Jianhai.

For example, Constant City is the second largest city in the Kingdom of Loen after the capital Backlund, and it is also the largest industrial city. The status of Dilis City in the Republic of Intis is equivalent to Constant City, and it is the second largest city after Trier. And Saint Miron, the capital of the Feysac Empire, is built directly on the coast of the Sea of ​​​​Interval.

These three metropolises are already large in scale, and with the large number of medium-sized cities around them, the coast of Jianhai has become the most economically developed and populous region in the northern continent. The reason for this is that Jianhai has a unique geographical advantage. On the other hand, it is also due to the contrast of its peers.

The border between the Republic of Intis, Feynetroth Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Loen is exactly in the center of the northern continent. This is a vast central plateau, most of which belongs to the Kingdom of Feynetroth, the west belongs to the Republic of Intis, and the east is occupied by the Kingdom of Loen.

To the north of the Central Plateau, the Honachis Mountains extend, completely separating the Republic of Intis from the Kingdom of Loen, extending from the Central Plateau to the coast of the Inter-Sea. The Honachis Mountains are not only the dividing line between the two countries, but also a mountainous area that stretches for thousands of miles, making it difficult for ordinary people to pass through.

Therefore, if you want to go to the Republic of Intis from the Kingdom of Loen, there is only one route - starting from the city of Conston, along the coastal plain of the Inter-Sea, to the city of Dilis.

Of course, in addition to this, you can also choose to go south, bypass the central plateau, and then head north to the Republic of Intis.

But in this case, you have to go through the Kingdom of Feynet and then through Segar or Lenburg to enter the Republic of Intis. Not only is the journey long, but because it passes through several countries, you may encounter various troubles along the way. For example, if it is a business transaction, passing through the Kingdom of Feynet means that the Kingdom of Feynet will charge an extra layer of tariffs for no reason.

This was unacceptable to both the Intis Republic and the Loen Kingdom. Compared to being exploited by the Feynetport Kingdom, traveling through the sea and coastal plains was undoubtedly faster and more cost-effective.

And now, the path they chose is the former, along the coast of the sea.

In the 24th carriage of the special train, Ikanser looked at the closed door behind him and the fully enclosed carriage connected to the back, and asked with some concern:

“Will it really not go wrong?”

Bruce glanced at Ikanser and said calmly:
"You have asked this question many times, but I have already told you the answer: it will not go wrong!"

Ikanser did not comment on this, still looking a little sad:
"Honestly, I really don't know why you insist on catching it? And you have to use these two special trains to transport it to Trier. Aren't you afraid that it will suddenly get out of control? If this thing gets out of control in the city, God knows how many people will die."

"You don't have to worry about that at all."

Bruce pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said confidently:

"Our plan worked perfectly. It has been very quiet for the past ten days without any unusual movements. I would even say that it is more obedient than your pet or cat at home!"

“I don’t have pets!”

Ikanser denied it flatly, and then asked again:

"And I'm talking about what if something happens? Even if it's a pet cat, it may scratch its owner."

Bruce shrugged and said nonchalantly:

"Even if something unexpected happens, someone will be there to handle it. You and I don't need to worry about it."

After a pause of one second, Bruce slowly spoke again:

"After all, we just happened to be on the same road with it, and everything about it is not within our consideration. Besides, don't you have that mirror? If you are really worried about accidents, wouldn't it be better to just ask directly?"

"That mirror can't predict the future. You are just trying to make fun of me, right?"

Ikanser retorted unhappily, and rejected the other party's attempt to make him use Arrodes without hesitation.

Bruce smiled unkindly at this.

This made Ikanser's face turn black, and he had already made up his mind that he would never use this mirror even once again unless it was absolutely necessary!
If you want to use it, let others use it!
-
At 6:15 in the evening, the sky was dark, the clouds were rolling, and the deep blue waves were rising and falling.

The White Agate rose and fell in the scene of the approaching storm, like a toy in the palm of a giant. But fortunately, it finally entered the port smoothly and arrived at the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, the "City of Generosity" Bayam.

With the help of the wind, the speed was stabilized at 15 knots, which allowed them to complete the journey half a day earlier than originally planned. But this also meant that the White Agate would not move forward, and this was the end of the journey.

Because all voyages eastward from Bayam will no longer be safe!
If the Sonia Sea is divided into three parts, then the West Sonia Sea is the actual control area of ​​the kingdom. There are very few pirates cruising around here. It can be said to be a very safe route. Passenger ships like the White Agate will only operate in this sea area.

The area with the Rorsted Islands as its core is the Central Sonia Sea. The Rorsted Islands and Bayam are the fulcrums of the Loen Kingdom's colonial rule in the Central Sonia Sea, with a large naval base. This is also a key parish of the Storm Church, and a senior deacon who can participate in the cardinal meeting has been stationed here for a long time.

But even so, the kingdom's influence could not cover the entire Sonia Sea, and pirates would occasionally plunder the area.

If you go further east from the Rosted Islands, more than three days' sail away from the Rosted Islands, you will find the vast East Sonia Sea, which is a paradise for pirates and a place of complete disorder!
But Klein's destination happened to be deep in the East Sonia Sea, which meant he had to keep moving forward and find a suitable means of transportation in the Rorsted Islands.

Of course, Klein could contact The Hanged Man, but for now, Klein would only consider this as a backup option.

Because he had another choice, that was Danitz, and Vice Admiral Iceberg behind him.

Although Danitz was reluctant, he had no choice but to lead him to the contact point set up by the Golden Dream in the Rorsted Archipelago, as Klein still had to deliver a message to the captain.

Danitz came to a row of houses near the dock warehouse and knocked on the door, three long knocks followed by three short knocks in a very rhythmic manner.

Soon, the door creaked open, and Danitz immediately greeted him with a smile:
“Old Lin, you didn’t drink today?”

Old Lin, who was standing in the shadows, coughed twice, did not answer, but just made way.

Danitz didn't care and took a step forward to enter the room.

But the next second, a big hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder.

Before Danitz could react, his body was thrown out of the room by a huge force and fell heavily to the ground!
boom!
"What do you do..."

Danitz asked subconsciously with some anger, and then he saw a holy light descending from the sky and landing in the house.

With the help of the holy light, he could clearly see the appearance of old Lin En in the shadow. His face was extremely pale and his eyes were extremely empty.

Zombies! Danitz's face slightly changed color, but then he saw another figure in the room—tall, dark-skinned, muscular, and with hair that curled like marbles.

"Iron" McVitie?!
Danitz's pupils contracted sharply.

He immediately realized that the contact point had been exposed, and instinctively wanted to alert German Sparrow, but this crazy adventurer had already rushed into the house!
