Chapter 13 The Habsburgs
Today, September 2th.

The earth is called Valentine's Day, while the other world has entered the end of winter.

On the streets in the early morning, as the morning sun rises, the icicles on the eaves have shown signs of melting, and the homeless people under the eaves or under the bridge will soon be able to celebrate that they have survived another difficult winter.

According to the owner of the workshop, Truman put on his best coat, which he ordered at a cost of 2.8 gold pounds. It is a mixture of high-quality wool and woolen fabric, cut by a master craftsman.

Rich people in this world never bother to patronize clothing stores. In their opinion, the ready-made clothes in clothing stores are cheap and inappropriate. Only the poor will buy those rubbish.

Truman ordered two suits as the Romans did, which helped distinguish him from the bums on the street.

Wearing such decent attire allowed him to rent that decent apartment, and the sheriff wouldn't stare at him when he walked into the downtown area.

Of course, if he still wants to have more status, he can also buy a carriage, so that when the sheriffs see him, they will open the way for him and fend off the tramps.

The carriage of the owner of the workshop is very luxurious, and the interior is very spacious, but only Truman, Lilith, and the owner of the workshop are seated.

Lilith also changed into a new dress, and she looked much more fresh and her complexion was better.

The owner of the workshop is dressed in a purple robe, small red leather boots, and a wide-brimmed hat with irises, dignified, mysterious and beautiful.

After Truman got on the carriage at the gate of the workshop, the carriage started immediately.

This surprised Truman a little.

"Why are we the only ones, teacher?" Truman asked quickly.

They were supposed to complete the 20-character super 'continuous word', although Truman didn't understand why they were dressed formally, but was it just him and Lilith?What about the other apprentices, Anton?

"Anton will meet us at the target location. As for the others... Anton doesn't need team members, and no one wants to be with you anymore." The workshop owner said to Truman.

Oh... Truman nodded and nodded again, then looked at Lilith, who also nodded to him, and Truman's thoughts went back to a day ago.

……

"Although I can't lend you money, if you still need me, I decided to challenge that 20-character 'continuous word' together with you." Lilith said to Truman.

why?Truman stared at his only friend in another world, could they be considered friends?

"It's very simple, I just want to know more about the secrets of the spiritual text. One day I will lose the ability to translate the spiritual text, the 'share' will be emptied, and I will become a lunatic, or even a monster. Before that, I hope to know more knowledge ..."

"After I rejected you, my desire for knowledge has been tormenting me. I finally admitted that I was eager to know what a 20-character 'continuous word' looks like. This desire surpassed everything else, surpassing my own safety concerns."

You might be a scientist on Earth... Truman thought so.

"If you are so eager to gain knowledge, why not lend me 25 gold pounds to upgrade me based on the principle of safety first?" Truman said.

"Ideals are as important as money. I hope that when I bury me and my ideals, I will be buried with gold pounds equal to my body weight, so I cannot lend you." Lilith said.

In fact, Truman was also joking, he never thought of being promoted to Extraordinary in order to complete that job.

The first is that it is too late to digest the extraordinary power, and the second is that even if one is promoted to the first level of extraordinary, according to the owner of the workshop, the "share" can be doubled at most, which is also not enough to complete the 20-character "continuous word".

His hope is always on the other side of the earth.

……

The carriage drove out of the DC area where the potion workshop was located, and entered the core area of ​​the city.

Under the wheels, the rough road made of muddy wet soil turned into a flat road made of ash and gravel, and the carriage gradually drove steadily.

Truman closed his eyes slightly, feeling his unusually vibrant body.

Before crossing last night, he injected the injection that boosted his body's excitement.

The injections work by speeding up breathing, increasing the rate of heartbeat and blood flow, and providing more energy to the body.

When he first got the injection, on the other side of the earth, Truman felt that his whole body had entered a very, very tense state, his voice trembled, and his writing was crooked. Before he could experience it more carefully, he had already crossed over.

This is the first time Truman experienced the feeling of traveling to this extraordinary world with a body carrying the earth's biotechnology. The excitement that should have faded within 20 to 30 minutes was preserved.

From 1:7 am to [-]:[-] am, Truman couldn't sleep all night, his brain seemed to be equipped with an accelerator, and all kinds of weird thoughts kept popping up.

At the same time, his senses and senses became more acute, and he could even feel the bumps of the wooden wheels of the carriage on the road paved with gravel and lime slag.

The effect of the injection is obviously stronger, but it seems to only affect Truman's body. He wants to run, jump, and fly high now, but he'd better sit here quietly and let himself adapt to the accelerating self.

If this was a game, Truman felt that he would probably be able to see prompts like 'Agility +1' and 'Perception +1'.

Too bad it doesn't seem to grow 'share'.

Stimulant injections only work on the body.

……

The carriage bumped 4821 times. The reason for this bump was that there was a bump on the right wheel, which needed to be repaired.

Based on the 15-inch diameter of each wheel, it takes about 1.57 meters to turn around, so the total journey of the carriage is about 7500 meters, which is less than 8 kilometers.

Now they have reached their destination.

Truman finally calmed down his overly keen 'perception' and 'feeling' by calculating the distance they traveled.

That stimulant shot went a little too far.

A second injection cannot be given within a short period of time.

Otherwise, it would turn Truman into a lunatic who was overexcited for 24 hours.

"what……"

Truman heard Lilith beside him sighing and admiring softly, and he opened his eyes, and saw a magnificent palace-like building.

On Earth, Truman has seen a documentary of Buckingham Palace in England, which covers an area of ​​18000 square meters, consisting of wide lawns and flower beds, and the iconic huge palace.

In the eyes of Truman at this moment, the palace in front of him may not be inferior to Buckingham Palace. The carriage enters the solemn gate, passes through the carefully tended flower garden, and then you can face the magnificent six-story palace-style building.

Comparing how many low-level homeless people in the city were frozen to death on the streets, and then looking at this magnificent palace, we can better understand the unevenness of this extraordinary world.

"Today we are here to meet the little Baron Habs, and we will translate the 20-character Chang Lingwen here." The workshop owner said.

"Teacher, why don't you finish this work at the workshop?" Truman asked.

Is it because the complete Changling script carrier, that is, the pottery screen is too precious to get to the workshop?
"The preciousness of Changlingwen is also one of the reasons. The main reason is to show you the wealth and affluence of our customers, so that you are more motivated to complete the work~" the owner of the workshop said with a smile.

It seems to be lying... Truman's enhanced 'perception' is keenly aware of the workshop owner's insincere words.
