I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

The next morning, at Vis City Station.

"There are so many people..."

Looking at the lively scene in front of her, Iveliya couldn't help but sigh.

Even though the station had been blocked off specifically for Lucius's trip and the line that stopped at Weiss was temporarily closed, the platform was still almost full of the nobles and their servants who were about to board the train with Lucius.

"Yes, more people means more variables. I'm afraid this journey won't be peaceful."

Lucius looked a little tired.

He had just finished greeting the nobles. It was really tiring to have something to talk about with everyone.

Although he had been mentally prepared for the number of people on board, he was still shocked when he received the passenger list last night.

There were fourteen legitimate sons and daughters of the noble families, and seven families sent their close relatives, nephews and nieces. Including the servants they brought with them in their carriages, there were more than two hundred people in total.

Damn, I feel like it would be unfair to have so many people if a few didn't die.

"Sanita's carriage was arranged next to mine. I didn't arrange a separate carriage for you because I thought it would be safer for you to stay with me. Is that okay?"

"No problem, no problem. I think this is a very wise decision!"

Iveliya nodded repeatedly.

Oh my, isn't Lu's arrangement amazing? We're almost in a room and going to sleep.

But why is the trip only seven days? It would be better if it could be longer.

Today, Iveliya has forgiven her former best friend Sylvie for her betrayal.

It’s not that the sisters are not human, it’s that Lucius is too charming.

This man is like wine, the older he gets, the mellower he becomes. Sixteen-year-old Lucius was already hard to resist, so how seductive would he be twelve years later when he was twenty-eight, had been baptized by blood and fire, and was in power?

Since Sylvie could hold on for so long, Iveliya admitted that she was a bitch.

Alas, if only I had been the one to go to Splenda at that time.

At this moment, Ivilia actually felt a little jealous of Sylvie.

In this case, someone will ask, Iveliya, Iveliya, since you have already forgiven Sylvie, why do you still call her your former best friend?

Haha, even if I forgive her, isn't she still my enemy?

The persimmon dispute has always been like this.

"I suddenly remembered something. Brother Lu, would you like to send someone to my home country to investigate 'me'?"

I come from twelve years in the future. So, will my existence affect my current self who is only four years old?

Iveliya was very curious.

"Oh, Lao Deng has already arranged for someone to go there, but we haven't received any news yet."

"After all, you know that your place is a bit too remote compared to the Empire."

It can be said that such a remote and desolate place can give birth to a genius like Iveliya, which is somewhat a blessing from heaven.

"By the way, I'm quite curious about your little sister, so I specifically asked Raven to use the photo stone to record her appearance when he gets there and bring it back to me."

As a virgin, it is normal for Xiao Chu'nan to be interested in his close comrade-in-arms, with whom he will fight a hundred rounds in the future.

"?"

Ivylia stomped her feet in anger:

"Don't be curious! She's not as pretty as me! Absolutely! Not at all!"

That slut Sylvie is completely incomparable except that Nana is a billion years older than her!

Lucius: ...

That's a bit of an overreaction, Ai.

I'm just curious about what she looks like, and she is only seven years old now. Do you have to be on guard against a child?

"The atmosphere between the young lord and Miss Iveliya is truly enviable."

While Lucius and Iveliya were playing, Sanita appeared in front of them on time.

Today she was wearing an oatmeal-colored long trench coat with an off-white sweater underneath. She wore large sunglasses on her head and carried an exquisite leather suitcase in her right hand. Her long flaxen hair was braided into a loose fishbone braid, and she looked quite casual.

To be honest, of all the people Lucius knew, this woman had the most diverse dressing style.

Alas, maybe this is what a mature twenty-five-year-old woman is like.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Lucius seemed to see some shadows of old friends in Sanita.

Hair and eye colors are quite common in the Empire, but...

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Miss Sanita."

Lucius smiled and looked at the suitcase in her hand:

"Is this all we need to take with us?"

"My dear young lord, don't underestimate this box. All my wealth is in it."

Sanita lifted the box and shook it slightly. "After I leave this time, I probably won't come back."

"Oh?"

Lucius was a little surprised. "Are you planning to stay in Splenda for a long time? There's no news of your resignation from the theater yet."

Sanita chuckled and gave him a charming look:

"My young lord, I'm on the run. How can I follow all the procedures?"

"And even if I wanted to quit, those guys in the theater would probably keep pestering me and be annoying."

"Or......"

She put down the box and raised her hand to straighten Lucius's collar:

"As a shareholder of the theater, Young Lord intends to demand liquidated damages from me?"

"Oh, what shall I do? I am penniless now. Will the young lord allow me to repay you with something else?"

Pulling her arm back, she gently licked her bright red lips with the tip of her tongue again.

Iveliya: ???

Burnt goods!

What are you stirring up again?

Damn it, Sanita is like a flood and a beast, harming the young people in the East!

"Ahem, there's no need to do that."

Lucius coughed twice, looking a little embarrassed, and began to change the subject awkwardly:

"I remember you said before that you originally planned to go to the imperial capital to seek shelter from your relatives."

"But since I said I'd give you shelter, I shouldn't bother your relatives, right?"

"You can just stay at the official residence when the time comes. My house is quite big."

Since Sanita could seek refuge with them, her relatives must be quite powerful. But no matter how powerful they are, they can't compare to the Clovis family, right?

As for whether this behavior will cause dissatisfaction among Xiao Ai and Nora?

Don’t say such nonsense. Brother Lu has always been the one who has the final say in this family!

"The young lord's proposal is indeed very tempting, but unfortunately my father probably won't agree."

"I'm afraid I can only disappoint the young lord's kindness."

Sanita looked helpless.

"Your father? Isn't your hometown in the province of Korsica?"

This time Lucius was really surprised.

“People move and live, trees move and die. You can’t be stuck in one place your whole life.”

"Besides, I was only born in Korsica. I never said I was from Korsica, right?"

Lucius: “…”

That seems to be the case.

"Well, in that case, I won't disturb your father-daughter reunion then."

Alas, I wonder what Sanita’s father would think when he knew that she was so bewitched by him.

Maybe he wants to break Lu Ge's legs.

But unfortunately, Lu Ge was a great nobleman, and only Emperor Lao Deng in the entire empire could suppress Lu Ge.

He looked at the time on his wrist and saw that the train was about to depart. Lucius was about to ask everyone to get on the train when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the station manager running towards him in a hurry.

"Young Lord, there's an emergency."

The manager took a deep breath and spoke anxiously.

"What happened?"

Lucius's expression froze.

Didn't expect the Chaos Cult's actions to begin so soon?

Come on, let me see what tricks you have up your sleeve this time!

"A section of the track is damaged!"

Lucius:? ? ?

No, it’s that simple and crude?

PS: I recommend this book by a friend of mine who is an author in the same group.

54-Departure (3K)

Before setting off, Lucius had anticipated many possible actions that the Chaos Cult might take, perhaps launching a direct attack, or perhaps replacing a passenger and sneaking onto the train to stir up chaos at some point.

But he never expected that the Chaos Cult would actually adopt the simplest and crudest, yet most effective method—

Destroy the railroad tracks.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Lucius spoke in a deep voice:

"How long is the damaged track?"

"It's not very long, only about a hundred yards, and it can be repaved within three hours."

The manager answered immediately.

"?"

Lucius was stunned. He had thought that a long section of track would be damaged, but he didn't expect that only a hundred yards would be damaged.

It seems that rather than hindering his progress, the Chaos Cult's move is more like sending him a letter of challenge.

"Did the patrol team give any explanation?"

Lucius asked.

The Empire's railways are patrolled and maintained by patrol teams on a daily basis.

A patrol team consists of twenty people, managed by two first-level extraordinary people. The remaining members are basically ordinary people who are strong and equipped with special weapons and warning emblems.
