Evetrona's old stories

"I guess this must be a good thing 'Wu' did. They pay so much attention to Iftrona, and they will definitely make trouble whenever they have the opportunity." Si Mixue sighed, "Don't worry about these, go and clean up."

"I'm going to kill them all sooner or later," Harvey said bitterly.

Si Mixue saw that his expression was a bit complicated, and wanted to persuade him, but also felt sad.

The next thing was relatively simple, Harvey launched Yuguang Thunderbolt again, summoning thunderclouds to impact the surface, burning down together with the pile of metal ruins like mountains.

Si Mixue looked at the wreckage that gradually turned into molten iron, and felt a little pity in her heart. If an alchemist came to recycle these materials, I don't know how much Fengluwei metal would be refined.

After a while, two ghost patrol dragons flew into the crack, and they didn't know where to go to play. Simixue also followed Harvein to the under-ice world where the passage was opened.

Si Mixue once heard from Iftrona that under the ice field at the junction of the Boundless Mountain Range and the glacier, there is a frozen ocean, in which there is a mysterious machine from the old world, which can be used to cross the Boundless Mountain Range.

Iftrona spread the bait all the way to the extreme north, without even concealing her intentions, just like this to seduce Harvein and Smixue, and let them go to this area that no human being has ever set foot on.

"You lead the way." Hawein pointed to the wide and straight tunnel in front of him, and said to Smi Xue.

"What kind of road do you take? Can you still get lost on such a straight road?" Si Mixue felt puzzled.

"Stop dawdling." Harvey walked a few steps towards her with a straight face.

"Don't come here, I'll just go down." Si Mixue sighed, walked to the entrance of the cave, and jumped, and Harvey also jumped down after her.

The hole was deep and pitch black. It was difficult for the two of them to freely fall in such an environment to estimate the length of the hole. It might be several thousand meters, or tens of thousands of meters.Harvey had already worked very hard when using Yuguang Thunderbolt to make holes, but now he was still a little worried that the passage was not opened. It would be interesting to be trapped underground like this.

It didn't take long, only about a minute, and Si Mixue had already seen the end of the passage in the dark. She stuck her rapier into the ice wall beside her, and slowly slowed down until she landed smoothly.

Farewell Gift (Part [-])

With a plop, she stepped into the water, and the depth of the water had already covered her waist. The cold feeling made her feel stinging.

Harvey also jumped down, and the water splashed all over Si Mixue again. If so, the girl didn't make a sound.

The bottom of the hole is very wide, like a big house. Harvey used lighting magic to explore the surroundings, and found a door on the left, and the two walked towards it.

The underwater ground is very flat and the walls are smooth, so they can be sure that they have found the right place. Even Simixue was a little surprised. She knew that there was a shelter under the ice, but she didn't expect that the shelter was built in such a deep place.

Harvey didn't even try the door, and just smashed the iron door with his sword. There was a corridor on the other side of the door. There was no water in the corridor, so the water in the room was gushing towards the corridor. Only then did the two realize that the pool was formed by the water flowing down from the ice wall above.

As they walked down the corridor, there was less and less water under their feet, and their shoes still made squeaking noises as they walked because of water seepage.

The shelter is very large, but there are not many fork roads. Harvey walked in the front and walked in a hurry. They walked through each room in a tandem, one after the other, until the last door.

The shelter was almost empty, as if it had just been built and then abandoned.

Harveyn opened the last door and put a few flares in first.

The first thing that catches the eye is the huge machine parked in the middle. The machine is like a bird with open wings, covered with blade-like metal feathers, and it looks like it is clawing.

Harvey drew out his sword almost subconsciously, and wanted to rush up to find out, but was stopped by Si Mixue.

"Don't be crazy, this is the thing, what we're looking for," she said.

Without saying a word, Harvey walked over with his sword in hand, and began to observe the golden machine.

"Is this a flapper?" Harvey knocked on the belly of the machine, and after hearing the echo, he quickly looked up at the lifelike wings and feathers of the machine, and noticed the familiar golden-green color on its surface. Guang Guang, he was inexplicably shocked in his heart, and couldn't help exclaiming: "These are all Feng Luwei!"

When Si Mixue heard these words, she seemed to be intimidated. Instead of rushing forward, she even took a step back, and opened her mouth to look at the Fengluwei flying machine, which was a circle bigger than You Xunlong.

This aircraft is like a work of art, a priceless work of art... She thought to herself.

Harvey had already climbed into the aircraft and sat in the cockpit.

"Wait a minute, do you know how to use this thing?" Seeing Harvein entered the cabin, Si Mixue was a little anxious, because she was afraid that her crampons would leave marks on the fuselage. She also took off her boots, and just jumped onto the plane with bare feet—or bare paws. The paws covered with white and long hair were still wet because they were soaked in water, and they stepped on a series of paw prints on the fuselage. "What can't be done, there is only one button on the front..."

"Okay, you can sit in the front, but don't do anything unnecessary." Si Mixue compromised.

In front of the aircraft was a row of sloping upward tracks with an angle of about 30 degrees. The two sat on their seats and closed the canopy. Harvey pressed the only switch on the aircraft.

Both were ignoring the six-point seat belts they were sitting under at the moment, but it wasn't a big deal for them.

The aircraft moved slowly and rushed up the slope. At this time, both of them were a little nervous, so Si Mixue joked: "After we go out, let's dismantle this aircraft. I'm a little scared when I see such a big piece of Fengluweijin."

"Don't talk too early." Harvey's expression was a little dignified, "This thing is definitely not here to benefit others. Maybe it will disappear out of thin air when it reaches its destination."

"How could it disappear out of thin air?" Si Mixue just asked, and she realized what Harvey meant: Yes, this is Feng Luwei, not just money, but also alchemy materials.

The aircraft was gliding on the slope, and the speed was getting faster and faster. A magic circle appeared at the tail of the aircraft. Hot gas was sprayed backward from the center of the magic circle. The strong acceleration nailed the two of them to the seat, unable to move.And until a certain moment, a slight light appeared in front of the eyes, and when the two of them realized this, the aircraft had already climbed above the clouds.

Across the transparent cover, there was a clicking sound from both sides. The golden-green wings spread out to both sides, which were more than ten meters long. The blade-like metal feathers stretched out, looking cold under the moonlight.

The magic circle continuously provides power, allowing the aircraft to continue to climb upwards. This aircraft does not seem to be an orthopter, but a jet.

The color of the sky gradually changed from dark blue to black, and they were getting closer to the etheric space.

The morning light was twilight on the horizon, and the sun, which had been refusing to show up, could be vaguely seen. As the aircraft rose, the horizon that was in a downward arc suddenly turned back at a certain moment and turned into an upward arc.

"We really live inside an egg." Si Mixue sighed in a daze as she looked at the strange scene in front of her.

"It's as if someone deliberately distorted the reality to trap people in it." Harvey was also staring at this scene in a daze.

False stars, false moon, false sky, everything looks so unreliable, the so-called truth will be overthrown tomorrow, what is a star?What is universal gravitation?The space is distorted, the sight is blinded, everything and all kinds in the world are confusing the world, the Creator plays them around without giving them any hints, they deny themselves in inferences, contradict themselves in arguments, the more they are confused , the more they believe in the wisdom of the ancients, they are no longer keen on scientific research, but only seek to find a piece of the truth in the ruins, and walk the old path that has been destroyed in the past—this is the fourth era, in this era In fact, human beings have never had a sense of pride as human beings. They have no pioneering thoughts at all, and only long for the restoration of the old civilization.

The aircraft flew close to the edge of the ether, and Harvey and Simixue both noticed the abnormality at this time.

The wings of the aircraft are gradually shortening, and the tips of the metal wings are evaporating little by little. The two are no strangers to this phenomenon, and this is exactly the equivalent exchange that is happening in alchemy.

"This thing is sapping Windluvikin for power," Harvein said.

"This is simply suicide...we won't die here, right?" Si Mixue's face turned pale when she said this.

"Wait and see, this thing can be made, not just to send two unlucky people to the sky."

The sky gradually began to brighten, and the long-lost sunlight made the eyes of the two sting. They watched the wings of the aircraft fly shorter and shorter, and their hearts became more and more anxious.

Harvey even wanted to lift the cockpit cover once, and Smixue was so frightened that he hugged his waist and pulled him back.

At an altitude of nearly [-] meters, the two peerless powerhouses were facing a life-and-death crisis, and they finally lost their dignity.

They just sat in their seats anxiously, waiting for the aircraft to rush to the unknown destination.

If the flight direction of the aircraft has not changed once, then they are flying in the direction of true north at this moment, but what is the north of the extreme north?

With the exhaustion of the wings, the altitude of the aircraft is decreasing, and it has dropped below the clouds at this time. Without the cover of the clouds, the scene below is fully revealed.

The two of them stared wide-eyed, and they both lay down in front of the canopy and looked down. The bottom was not an ocean, but a continent. As the aircraft moved, they could see large forests, farmlands and rivers, and majestic mountains. The castle building in the sky, you can see the airship flying in the air, the northern part of the extreme north is not a bitter cold ocean, but a continent bathed in the warm sun.

"Damn it, how could such a thing happen!" Harvey slammed the hatch cover, and he was laughing, but the smile was extremely ugly, "Isn't there only three continents in this world? Where is this place? There is no record of such a place in any era!"

After going crazy, Harvey finally calmed down. He and Smixue sat quietly in their seats. The situation of the two of them was a bit abnormal at this time. Worrying, just thinking about things, waiting for the aircraft to land.

Finally, the wings of the aircraft finally disappeared completely, and the fuselage without power began to fall downward.

The two were ready to jump off the plane at this time, but unexpectedly, the fuselage disintegrated ahead of time and became a pile of fragments. These flamboyant Viking fragments swelled around them and turned into countless pieces of paper, flying around and under them, holding them up.The two grabbed a few pieces of paper and looked at the patterns on them.

"The Avranto banknotes of the third era are all waste paper, not worth a dime," Harvein said.

"It's not completely waste paper, at least we can't say that until we land safely." Si Mixue lay on her back in the pile of flying banknotes, and casually threw a handful of banknotes at Harvein.

"Without these papers, you can't fall to your death."

The two finally landed smoothly on a cliff. Harvey stood on a boulder and looked into the distance. He pointed to a plain below the mountain and said, "It stands to reason that we shouldn't have landed here. This aircraft is carefully designed. The landing point should not be such a place where there is nowhere to go down the mountain. It seems that this aircraft is not perfect..."

Harvey glanced at Simixue when he said this, and immediately shut his mouth, because he saw a golden-green feather hidden under the woman's cloak.

Si Mixue still couldn't hold back at that time, when she boarded the aircraft, she snapped off a small piece of metal feather from the bottom of the wing and hid it on her body.If Harvey hadn't noticed that there was an error in the landing location, her behavior might not have been discovered at all.

"Aren't you afraid that we will die in it because of the lack of this feather?" Harvey looked a little angry.

"Who would have thought that this thing is actually fuel, and the past is gone, don't think about it." Seeing that the matter had been revealed, Si Mixue simply didn't hide the feather, but hung it on a leash around his waist In the meantime, the feather she picked was only a cubit long, so it wouldn't get in the way.

"Yat must have been here before." Harvein said, "We have to find out, and by the way, what exactly is this place?"

"It's time for us to separate. I don't need to look for her. My purpose is to leave the Infinite Mountains." Si Mixue put on her boots again. "If conditions permit, I will find a way to return to Yudi."

"You can go, but there is one thing that must be left behind." Harvey said coldly, "Egran's notes, the "Experience"."

"Her name is not Egran, her name is Iftrona, Iftrona Signaqi!" Si Mixue said through gritted teeth.

"It's my freedom to call it what you want, but things must be kept, don't force me to do it." The black two-handed sword appeared from Harvein's hands, and Simixue could feel that this man really wanted to kill .

"You can't keep me at all." Simi Xue red-eyed and retreated to the edge of the cliff.

"Then try it out, which one do you want to summon? The one called Scarlett, or the one called Scarlett? Let's see if you can successfully revive them this time?" Harvey threatened with a sullen face, "I can do anything."

Si Mixue raised her head and stared at each other with him.

In fact, these two people didn't know each other before, but they met in the Infinity Mountains. When they first met, they had a fight, which was to test each other's details, and the result was that Harvey was stronger.Both of them were searching in the mountains to recover the relics of Evetrona. Now, 28 of the 26 relics have been recovered (including Eve), and [-] of them are in the hands of Harvey. , and among the six relics held by Simixue, there is one thing that he wants most, that is "Experience", Evetrona has traveled around and been to almost all places in the world, and this notebook she She never left her hand, and it can be regarded as one of her most cherished items.

They have been walking together in the Infinity Mountains for nearly half a month. Generally speaking, they get along quite happily. Both of them can be regarded as people who are very close to Evetrona, but they have never met each other before, and they have never even heard of each other's name.

Therefore, the two men and women who were also Evetrona's "close partners" tacitly refrained from mentioning anything related to Evetrona during the journey.

The person they mentioned the most in their conversation was that Yate Signaqi. She was Evetrona's younger sister. I heard that she was not her own sister, but maybe her junior sister.This Yate seems to know a lot of things, and her whereabouts are secretive, and she is extremely indifferent to others, but she is absolutely trustworthy.Yate seems to have known for a long time that the Sun Island compass will fail and be scrapped in the hinterland of the boundless mountains, and will lose the ability to sense the teleportation imprint. The way out—that is, the Fengluwei aircraft in the shelter under the ice.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Si Mixue's eyes gradually softened, she sighed, and finally the expression on her face was only sympathy.

"You will go crazy sooner or later." Simicue said.

"I'm going crazy, but as long as you don't mess with me, I won't bite people." Harvey raised his sword with one hand and pointed at the woman on the edge of the cliff.

Si Mixue smiled. This good-looking, round-faced bunny is bright and cute when it smiles, and it always makes people feel the urge to hold her in their arms.She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and a thick book with a black cover appeared in her hand. The book looked thick and heavy, and she held it with one hand, as if it was about to fall out of her hand in the next second.

Harvey stared at her unkindly, not knowing what she was going to do.

"I'll give this to you." Si Mixue's words made Harvey stunned, and just as he was in a trance, the woman had already walked in front of him, pushed away the sword he raised, and pressed the book In his arms.

"What's your idea?"

"It's not interesting. In fact, our purpose is the same, and it doesn't matter whoever goes." Si Mixue said very calmly: "You are so active, then you must return it to Evetrona, and don't let it fall into the hands of outsiders."

Harvey hugged the book in his arms tightly, he was very surprised by what Si Mixue said, and he asked: "You think so too? How do you know what I want to do?"

"Don't ask, we don't know each other well." Si Mixue waved her hand, turned her head and walked back to the edge of the cliff, and said to Harvey: "So what if you know? You are still a bastard, don't let me see you again You, goodbye."

After she finished speaking, she jumped off the cliff, a whistle echoed among the mountains, and the Serpentine with light blue flying feathers soared into the sky from the bottom of the cliff, and quickly passed over Harvein's head. Thick gray and white feces poured down from the sky, and Harvey only had time to protect the notebook in front of him, then turned around and received the farewell gift that fell from the sky with his back.

Smixue's triumphant laughter came from above, but Hawein didn't look at her anymore, but just lowered his head and silently put the notes into the storage compass.

Sometimes, people would rather become humble in order to protect.

An era has come to an end, and the heroes who were once sung with enthusiasm have now become unwanted vagabonds.

Why can't life be as lively as before?When did you start to become a loner?

The leftovers are cold and burnt, and the mood is waning.

There is no going back, no going back.

Steam Travel (Part [-])

The Fablin Line is a railway line that runs through the north and south of the central part of Klicking. It runs from Yutong City, Sinraig Province in the north to Benlongbao, Ikerin Province in the south. The total length is 930 kilometers. It is the longest of several Klicking railway lines, of which 80 kilometers are pig iron tracks, and the rest are wrought iron tracks. In fact, the railway has been developed in Klicking for more than [-] years. , The development of railways is in line with the general trend of the times, and through archaeological research, people refer to the railway design of the old era, skipping the stage of iron sheet rails and flange rails, and directly adopting the stable and material-saving design of I-shaped rails.

The proposal for the establishment of the Fabre Line has been rejected by the Logos Council and the Senate many times. The reasons are complex, including the instigation of stakeholders, the consistent conservative style of the Senate, and problems with line planning and material supply. In short, this proposal, jointly initiated by a number of private companies, finally received a construction and operation charter issued by Logos and signed by Siheliu seven years ago, and the line was established.A retired elder at the time was very concerned about this matter. In order to make the proposal finally pass, he suggested that the originally planned 780-kilometer line be extended to 930 kilometers, and the southern terminal of the line be extended to Fort Benlong in Eklin Province. A dedicated passenger line was established for the students of the Knight Academy to pick up students along the route to and from the school at fixed times in autumn and winter.This proposal eventually led to a compromise between both parties, allowing this central line to be put on the agenda, and in memory of the retired elder who made a significant contribution in this matter, this line was named after his surname "Fablin".

Eve originally planned to take the train to Benlong Castle with most of the students, but in the end she missed the special train for the students of the School of Philosophy, but it doesn't matter, a week later, the special train for the Knight Training Institute will take another part of the students to leave, Mao Qi went through the boarding formalities for her early, and sent her to Yutong City, west of Bomeng, the day before the train's departure.

Maoqi, Nanfen, Luge, and Maoqi's cousin all came, not only that, but Comino and Ross also came. This farewell scene touched her quite a bit, and she felt that she must not let them down. At least you have to successfully complete your studies.

Eve's two large suitcases of luggage were placed under the seat in the private room by Maoqi, and the two of them cleaned the bed together. After everything was tidied up, Eve watched Maoqi get out of the car. At this time, everyone gathered outside the car window, chattering with her. Only then let go.

The Xiguang steam train that Eve was riding on had a total of twelve carriages, which were driven by fire-tube steam boilers. Except for the tender at the rear of the train, most of the carriages were used for freight, and only the last three carriages were used for passenger transportation. , and almost all passenger cars are box structures, which are relatively comfortable to ride because they are far away from the smoke and roar of the front of the car.

The Yutong City section was the last to be completed. It was opened to traffic three years ago. The terrain here is flat. After the Xiguang started, it smoothly accelerated to the maximum speed and drove out of the boundaries of Yutong City.

The steam engine has one advantage, that is, it can burn anything, coal, wood, and oil can be added to it, and there is another kind of rock that can be burned in this world-the sky ocher, also known as the Apollinite , is a light red or orange-red translucent ore. Its combustion calorific value is much higher than that of coal, but its ignition point is higher. It is usually beaten into granules or powder and mixed into coal or fuel oil as a steam engine. In the improved boiler on the Xiguang, due to the optimized structure of the combustion chamber and the heightened chimney, the boiler has a higher combustion efficiency. When the temperature of the boiler reaches a certain level, the loess, sky ocher Fuel bricks made of powder mixed with water are used as the main fuel. There are many advantages to using this kind of bricks. The most important two points are: stable combustion temperature and less black smoke.But there are also disadvantages, that is expensive.There are only two trains on the Fabling Line that can burn this kind of bricks. They are mainly used by passengers. The main focus is comfort and efficiency. The target group is naturally rich people.Passenger carriages are far away from the front of the car to reduce the impact of boiler noise and black smoke on passengers, and the cushioning of multi-section carriages and the complex linkage device of wheel sets can make passenger carriages run more smoothly and comfortably. Considering all aspects, even if it is mainly for passenger transport, the middle compartment will not be empty, and goods will be loaded along the road, usually cotton or wool, or other things that are convenient for loading and unloading, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

The journey from Yutong City to Runlong Castle is expected to take six days.Because the track needs to avoid passing through private land, or because the terrain is complicated, this line is built to be much more tortuous than the original design draft, and the speed of travel is reduced. In addition, loading and unloading of goods, fuel and supplies along the way The time it takes to stop at the station makes this journey much slower than Eve imagined, but compared to horse-drawn carriages, train travel is the best choice in terms of comfort and efficiency, especially It's such a long distance.

A box can accommodate two passengers, and sitting opposite Eve is a tall girl with brown hair, a high nose bridge, and blue eyes. This person is not bad-looking, but lacks a bit of femininity.The girl sat across from Eve before the train started, quietly watching her bid farewell to the group of people outside the train window. The girl seemed a little envious, but sometimes she showed a trace of imperceptible contempt and disdain. These two completely different psychological activities are undoubtedly contradictory, but under the circumstances at that time, they were understandable at the same time.

"Hello, classmate." Just as Eve was still immersed in parting thoughts, the girl greeted her and asked her uncertainly, "A student from the training center?"

"No, I'm from the School of Philosophy." Eve replied, "Because I fell ill a few days ago, I didn't catch the special train."

"I see." The girl smiled with relief, "I was thinking just now, why did this year's training center recruit such a young female student... By the way, my name is Akanru Latvin, and I train So second grade."

"Eve Harvey, just entered the School of Philosophy this year."

"Judging from your accent, are you a Bomen?"

"Correct."

"It's the first time I've seen a girl as beautiful as you."
