"What are you waiting for?"
"Let's get in the car and get ready to go!"
After Ivilia and Sanita got on the train, Lucius stood on the steps of the train and looked back at his hometown. The sunlight outlined his tall figure, and a rare look of reluctance and melancholy emerged in his eyes.
I'm leaving Dongdu temporarily this time, and I don't know when I can come back to settle the Splenda issue.
Of course, Lucius was more looking forward to it—
Plotina and Nora, Lu Ge is coming in~
The whistle blew long, and the Orient Express slowly started and headed towards Etherion.
An unknown and dangerous journey begins here.
............
The wheels of the Orient Express rolled over the rails, making a rhythmic "click-click" sound, like a lullaby to lull people into sleep.
The city of Vis was left behind. The train sped across the sunny fields, and the occasional towns and villages passed by flashed by the window.
Lucius leaned back in the soft chair of the private carriage, his golden eyes reflecting the pastoral scenery outside the window.
The Orient Express is currently running according to the original plan and is expected to arrive in Ethelion in the early hours of the morning if nothing goes wrong.
"Why are you all so quiet? Come and chat."
Lucius withdrew his gaze from the window and fell on the other two people in the carriage. He tapped the table lightly and said with a smile:
"What do you think the Chaos Cult will do next?"
Opposite Lucius, Iveliya was half leaning on the seat, chewing a green apple and flipping through the passenger list casually.
He seemed to be doing serious work, but his sneaky eyes would glance towards the bedroom in the carriage from time to time.
Although she had expected this, Xiao Ai was still inevitably disappointed after seeing the two beds in the bedroom.
This is the episode where I least hope Lucius is a gentleman!
Damn it, can’t you show the same courage as when you subdued Sylvie and make a little mistake towards me?
It seems that the moral standard is still a bit too high. We have to find a way to make Brother Lu even worse.
Iveliya shook her head and continued Lucius's words:
"I don't know, maybe a surprise attack?"
Please, please, please raid so that my bed can be destroyed "just in time" during the raid.
Sanita, who had been elegantly and quietly admiring the scenery outside the window, was actually observing Lucius through the reflection of the car window. After hearing his words, she took off the pendant around her neck.
At the center of the pendant is a tempered and cut void stone. The black gemstone has a swirling texture like stardust, and the outer frame is made entirely of moon marrow silver. These two precious magical materials are priceless even on the black market, and even a gram is hard to come by.
Sanita placed the pendant flat on the table and flicked it twice with her fingers. The Void Stone activated and projected a complete dynamic star map into the air:
"How about I help the young lord with divination?"
"But the results will definitely not be too accurate. Destiny is always full of variables as it races towards the finish line."
"...Hmm, there will indeed be a turmoil in Ethelion. The stars foretell a 'rabble'."
"I'm curious, is astrology really that magical?"
Ivilia took a bite of the apple, and the sweet and sour juice overflowed from the corners of her mouth.
She picked up a tissue and wiped it casually, then looked at Sanita expectantly:
“Auntie Sanita, can you please calculate mine?”
To be honest, when Iveliya was young, she was very interested in mysterious methods such as astrology and divination.
Unfortunately, truly gifted astrologers are so rare that even the royal court astrologer is only a half-baked one who is recognized as E-level by the spiritual eyes.
Moreover, if this thing does not have a high-level teacher to guide you, it is easy to go astray and be seduced by evil spirits. Gradually, Iveliya gave up the idea in this regard.
It's rare to have an expert in astronomy nowadays, and it's just the right time to satisfy my curiosity.
As for the title of "Auntie"...
Haha, Aijie was born in 5510. Isn’t it reasonable for me to call you, an old woman born in 5489, auntie?
"..."
The corners of Sanita's mouth twitched slightly, and her usually perfect smile showed a flaw.
Alas, our saintly lady is too young and has completely released her hostility towards the wrong target.
Poor Iveliya didn't know that compared to the terrifying beings in Splenda who were ready to devour her, Sanita's threat was not worth mentioning at all.
"That might be a little difficult."
Taking a deep breath, Sanita suppressed the slight dissatisfaction in her heart and said with a smile:
"Actually, as early as the first time I met Miss Ivilia, I couldn't help but observe your destiny star out of curiosity."
"But the result is surprising. This is the first time I've seen a person have three life stars at the same time."
"Even if we don't explore why this happens, the presence of three stars will make the observations extremely inaccurate, so it's impossible to answer the question you want to know."
"But at least there is one thing I can be sure of."
Sanita paused, a hint of amusement in her smile:
"No matter which star it is, it will always stay with the young master's star and will never deviate."
What Sanita didn't say was that there was not only Iveliya's life star around Lucius's life star, or rather, there were too many of them.
The cooperation and confrontation between the destiny stars looked even more exciting and interesting than a drama, and Sanita could watch it with relish all day long.
But Sanita did not reveal this information to Iveliya, which was her little revenge on Iveliya.
After all, Sanita herself is a bad woman with a bad personality.
Ivylia: (∠?ω<)⌒☆
Wow, this Sanita is quite human-like. She only says things that Aijie likes to hear.
Since you are so sensible, I will not target your roast chicken for the time being.
"Oh? There's actually such a thing?"
Lucius sighed at the right moment, "It seems that Xiao Ai and I have been tied together for a long time. Not bad."
"Brother Lu, what's not bad?"
Iveliya's eyebrows and eyes are curved, sweeter than honey, and the corners of her mouth are almost curled up to the sky.
“It’s not bad at all!”
Lucius nodded vigorously and gave Iveliya a determined look in return.
But in Iveliya's filter, the look is so soft and affectionate.
Just like that, Iveliya's life was completely ruined.
"In short, no matter what, we need to be prepared to deal with various situations."
"Xiao Ai, please inform the noble children in each carriage in my name later to make sure they have been warned and do not disperse after arriving at Ethelion in the early morning."
Seeing that Iveliya's smile began to develop in the direction of Tanghua again, Lucius quickly arranged some serious matters for her to prevent her from always fantasizing about strange things.
"oh oh!"
"Yes, Brother Lu!"
Iveliya nodded and raised her hand in a crooked military salute, which made Lucius burst out laughing.
"Boom, boom, boom"
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the carriage door, followed by the respectful voice of the guard:
"Young Lord, Master Reinhardt requests an audience."
"Oh, please ask him in."
The door opened and a tall young man walked in. He had flaming red hair, a well-defined face, and an unconcealable heroic demeanor.
Reinhard Astraea Lv.36
Boon: Black Sun (Gold)
Status: normal
Additional Attributes: Strategist (A++), Chosen One (A+), Calm and Cool (A+), Sword Heart (A), Strong (A), Lu Guard (?)
Casting axis: None
Risk Assessment: Low
Even though Iveliya has seen Lucius's incredible panel that he never turns off, Reinhardt's panel is still considered top-notch. But is this "Guardian Lu" entry serious?
Wow, Brother Lu, are you really the Succubus of the East?
Killing both men and women is a case of this.
Wait, I don’t think there will be an extra entry like this?
The sudden discovery reminded Iveliya, and she decided to open her spiritual eyes and observe herself when she looked in the mirror later.
Reinhardt walked into the carriage and immediately stood straight when he saw Lucius. He lowered his head, touched his chest, and spoke loudly:
"Reinhard Astraea sends his greetings, Master Lucius."
"In accordance with your instructions, the private guards of the fourteen families have been reorganized and are ready to be dispatched at any time."
"Thank you for your hard work, Reinhardt. Sit down and take a rest."
Lucius pointed to the seat on his left and motioned Reinhardt to sit down.
Before awakening his memories of his past life, Lucius was already a core member of a standard group with extensive social connections and considerable prestige.
Many of the noble children who took the Orient Express this time were his old acquaintances, otherwise these guys would not have obeyed Lucius's command so easily.
Among these old acquaintances, Reinhardt, who has often been by Lucius' side since childhood, is undoubtedly one of the people who has the closest relationship with him.
Therefore, as soon as Lucius got on the car, he confidently handed over the task of reorganizing the guard to Reinhardt. He knew that Reinhardt would not let him down.
"Is the reorganization process going smoothly? Is anyone resistant to it?"
"No." Reinhardt shook his head. "Faced with the Chaos Cult's threat, everyone understands the necessity of integrated coordination and has expressed their understanding and support."
"That's good."
Lucius nodded slightly and ordered:
"The reorganized guard team will be under your command. Please be sure to strengthen vigilance and prevent any accidents from happening to anyone."
"As ordered."
Reinhardt took on the task without hesitation.
"By the way, Master, there is one more thing."
Reinhardt's face showed some hesitation:
"Well, Victoria, Ferdinand, and the others are planning to organize a banquet at the dining car tonight, and we'd appreciate your approval."
"Their argument is that since this journey could be dangerous, they might as well enjoy the peace and quiet they have now."
"banquet?"
Lucius raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Yes, that's a reasonable request. It's a good opportunity to get closer to my new friends and get to know them better."
To be honest, in this situation where the enemy is hidden and we are in the light, such risky social activities should not be held.
But risks always coexist with opportunities, and causing panic among the people was inconsistent with Lucius's original intention, so he simply agreed to the proposal.
"But Reinhardt, you must remind Victoria that she can only take a moderate amount of the drinks and meals in the storage compartment. We must retain enough supplies to deal with emergencies."
Victoria Gordon, the jewel in the crown of the Marquis Gordon, the Gordon family's territory is located in a large mining area and the family is extremely wealthy.
Extravagance and spending lavishly are simply words tailor-made for this young lady.
Lucius was worried that she would bring this style of behavior onto the train, so he asked Reinhardt to keep an eye on her.
