Tang You lifted the thin quilt full of strange smells, got up and picked up the silver coins on the bedside table, and put them in front of him to examine them carefully.

It is printed with the head of a certain man, surrounded by the words "Ludwig 1, V. Bayern. 35" meaning "Ludwig II, King of Bavaria.

Soon, golden system fonts appeared in Tang's vision:

"In 1889 AD, a village in the Bavarian kingdom of the Continental Hans Federation.

1889? Tang You didn't expect the time to be so close this time, but a corresponding memory quickly emerged in his mind.

At this point in time, it is actually in the middle of two important events in the continental chapter of the middle school history textbook.

One is that in 1871, the Prussian prime minister Bismarck successfully unified the North Hans Federation and the Kingdom of Bavaria; the two were the first world war more than 20 years later.

Tang You examined other coins, which included two standard one-mark silver coins and an earlier Union thaler silver coin, now worth three marks.

The rest consisted of smaller copper coins—a coin of the Hans Empire—fennis, a mark for a hundred fennis.

Tang You gathered it together, grabbed it into his jacket pocket, opened the first floor of the bedside table, and brought the broken glass mirror in front of him.

An unfamiliar rough face appeared in it.

Leonard Nicklaus, the name of the original owner of the shell, a typical Hans man's name.

This time, Tang You just split a ray of thought back into time and space, the environment and strength were not enough for him to squeeze out a spiritual power clone, so he could only choose to lean over others.

He took off the coat with a little blood stains, and saw a long and narrow wound on his abdomen. At this moment, the scab healed as time accelerated. Soon, the hard blood scab peeled off, revealing smooth and clean skin.

When Tang You497's mind just arrived in this world, he saw that Leonard was stabbed with a pitchfork because he helped a village woman, but he just used gunpowder to burn the blood to stop the bleeding.

He watched as he lay down and fell asleep, his physical signs gradually weakened in a daze, and he decided to get up.

This can not only save a good person, but also get a body that is in short supply.

With Tang You's deliberate reservation, Leonard's thinking did not disappear, but was suppressed in a corner to sleep. When he left, it was like waking up from a big dream for him.

Out of necessity, Tang You also read Leonard's shallow memory, knowing that because he offended the minor nobles in his hometown, he could only hide his gun and go to Mooney to work hard.

The capital of the Kingdom of Bavaria is benefiting from the rapid development of the Hans Empire.

It was the wealthiest city in the entire Hans Empire, except for Boleyn in Prussia.

Although the so-called "100,000 mark" and "500,000 mark" seem a bit ridiculous to the people of the Yan Kingdom, after all, in the post-Jin Dynasty of the same period, a city with a population of 500,000 was not as simple as one or two.

But for Europa, which has always been a small country and few people, this is indeed a remarkable scale.

Tang You is also going to Mooney. One is because the monsters that fell on the timeline are concentrated, and the other is to open a channel for future generations to "cheating" in the black world.

.

He picked up the revolver, which was meticulously wiped with oil, and hid it in a cloth fanny bag beside the pillow. In addition to some old clothes and trousers, there was a smelly hat, an old pocket watch, and five or six bright yellow bullets.

Leonard is not qualified to carry a gun, and it is best not to openly walk with a gun.

Hanging up the waist bag, Tang You got up and walked to the door by the window. The soles of his shoes stepped on the old wooden boards and made a regular (ccdf) "squeak" sound.

After opening the door, the stench of horse dung and some kind of choking strange smell hit the nostrils as the light poured in.

There was a small platform outside, where a man in a hat was chewing tobacco, and when he saw a rough-faced man approaching, he silently turned around and walked to the other side.

It was already early in the morning, but the sky was not bright, but was shrouded in gray fog with a strong sense of stagnation.

This hotel is just on the left side of the "T" junction, opposite a muddy train station, just a long shed with yawning staff.

Tang You rubbed his nose rather uncomfortable.

A ray of his soul is transforming this body. Under the calm surface, the cells are undergoing earth-shaking changes, and spiritual power is also slowly growing in it.

At such a time, the enhanced sense of smell is not a good thing, because the odor in the air is more obvious.

Tang You knew very well that apart from human and animal feces, the most irritating ingredient in the odor was actually the pollution from burning coal.

For example, at this moment, his sight crossed the muddy road on the right, and he could see behind several wooden houses, black smoke billowing from the chimney of a small workshop.

In this era, although electricity has been born, the most mainstream power is still the steam engine.

In the eighteenth century, Britain ushered in the steam industrial revolution, an unprecedented development that made it an empire on which the sun never sets, but the horrific fumes from the massive burning of coal.

It was fine on weekdays, but when a sudden anticyclone descended, causing the smoke that should have been blown away to gather in Renton, and after a long time of being unable to dissipate, the first large-scale smog injury in human history was born.

In that smog incident, more than 4,000 people were killed, and a large number of people suffered from severe respiratory diseases.

As a rising star in the first industrial revolution, Hans Country, which has completed its integration soon, is undoubtedly repeating the path that Britain has taken.

Using the spiritual power that has gradually grown to form an invisible shield, Tang You can see the gathering place at a glance.

This is a very typical "train village", that is, because the train stops here, the village developed with the help of convenient passenger transportation and freight transportation is dominated by large freight teams and small traders turned from farmers.

Tang You unconsciously pinched the wooden railing to test the strength, and the weathered and sun-dried preservative wood soon showed clear handprints.

When he first turned on the system, he became a level 3 extraordinary. To be honest, this weak state is an unprecedented novel experience for him.

Until now, Tang You didn't understand why the arrangement of Silence Supreme on the timeline was very restrictive.

Because the deity is located in the present world, the power that can be used against the river of time is really very limited, not to mention the limitations of the extraordinary historical environment.

According to his estimation, even if this ray of divine soul reaches its limit, it can only temporarily strengthen Leonard to around level 2.

The monsters this time are really not strong, they are probably all low-level supernatural beings who have fallen into the timeline at a loss.

"A..."

With the air filtered by the comfortable suction, Tang You turned around and returned to the room that Leonard rented, engraving the bullets in his pocket with spiritual patterns one by one.

In the weak stage of gradual strengthening, this is undoubtedly a powerful weapon. Although it is possible to directly bombard the enemy with the over-limited spirit in case of danger, it is not cost-effective.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the morning local time that Tang You went down to the lobby on the first floor to leave.

"Oh, wait! Outlander."

The bartender suddenly stopped him: "You stumbled back with blood last night and broke several bottles of wine on the table of the guests. You have to pay us."

Tang You pondered for a moment, and there was indeed such a thing: "Okay, how much?"

The bartender and the boss at the counter looked at each other and put the sackcloth over his shoulder: "It's a high-quality brandy from the Netherlands, there are two bottles of it, you have to pay six marks.

Tang You couldn't help laughing: "As far as I know, imported brandy is only five marks a bottle, shouldn't I pay ten marks? It happens to be a gold coin with a face value of 10."

The bartender was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again in surprise: "Yes, yes, that's it."

Shaking his head, Tang You took a step, waited for the two to get closer, and then said word by word: "But I only pay two marks, because what I broke was only two bottles of wine.

In this filthy, shabby place, full of a mixture of horse shit and silt, someone could afford imported brandy.

The situation at that time, as a "third party" Tang You can see clearly.

"You!" The bartender felt that he was being teased, his eyes widened, and he was about to come to push someone, but he was only halfway up his hand when he was trapped by something like a hoop.

He looked down, and it turned out that this foreigner was holding him, and no matter how much he struggled, his hand would not move at all, and his strength was simply terrifying.

The next second, Tang You just pushed at random, and the bartender staggered back and fell on the table behind.

The boss is also a person with very poisonous eyes. He saw that something was wrong, but he just kept silent in the counter.

Tang You did vow to protect human beings, but that doesn't mean he is a pedantic person. This can be seen from the fact that he let the students use the vest of "Dark Watch" to hunt the scum of society to train soldiers.

He took out the three-mark alliance silver thaler from his pocket and slapped it on the table, and he stepped out of the tavern very calmly.

Tang You has always been very clear to others that two marks pay for Leonard's broken wine, and the remaining one mark is a sign of interfering with the tavern's business last night.

Just stepping into the sticky mud, a carriage passed by, the copper bells around its neck rang crisply, and one of the horses pulled as they walked.

"Woooo..."

A distant whistle was heard in the distance, and a black smoke that was bending backward was getting closer and closer, and soon, a steam train with a "cylindrical head" came with a "click" sound.

The travelers waiting by the station rushed over immediately, the workers waiting to unload the goods also stood up, and the staff cursed loudly, not to squeeze themselves inside.

After quietly peeling off the stain with spiritual power, Tang You put the hat on his head:

"This is the real nineteenth century, this is the real age of steam."

"It does have revolvers, smoky trains, and carriages of all kinds. But it's not as beautiful as the Victorians imagined by later literary workers."35

"Pungent smoke, ubiquitous horse manure, people who are still restless in the rapid development... This is the most real picture.

He walked towards the train station step by step, but before he set foot on the platform, he heard a loud greeting from the ticket salesman:

"Buy a ticket! Buy a ticket! It's only four marks to go to Mooney, eh eh eh, hurry up that little bastard over there! Don't try to escape my eyes and get into the car."5

Tang You stood there and touched his pocket.

After losing money, he now only has two marks and a dozen copper coins, and he can't ride in the car...

PS: Influenced by "Mystery", I have always wanted to write a small story in the age of steam.
