Hey!

The sound of the whistle echoed in every corner of the platform. The huge steamer head of the monster dragged more than 20 cars and slowly stopped.

Dressed in a tuxedo suit and wearing a half-high silk hat, Klein took the exaggerated suitcase that was not quite commensurate with his size, and steadily set foot on the grounds of Beckland, the capital of the Kingdom of Lun.

The city is divided into two parts by the Tasok River, which flows to the southeastern estuary. It is connected by a Beckland Bridge and a ferry. It has a population of more than five million and is the most prosperous city on the North and South.

Klein looked very far, only seeing the yellowish mist everywhere, the visibility was very poor, and the gas lamp hanging on the platform was lit up early, dispelling the darkness and darkness.

"Is it only half past six? Just like at nine o'clock..." Klein shook his head invisibly, and suddenly remembered a joke he saw in the Tasok newspaper:

“A gentleman who had just arrived in Beckland lost his way in the thick fog. He had to ask the gentleman who passed by and was wet. He asked the other person how to get to the Tasok River. The gentleman was very friendly. Answered: 'Go straight, don't stop, I just wandered up from there.' (Note 1)

Every time I look at Beckland's newspapers or magazines, the reporters and editors are scorning the air pollution here, ridiculing more and more foggy days... Previously, the Becklander Daily also made statistics. It is said that similar weather has increased from about 60 days 30 years ago to the current 75 days... To this end, many people of insight have established the "Soot Emission Reduction Association" and the "Fume Emission Reduction Association". Organization... The bill in September is said to have a proposal to form the "Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee"... Kline put down a huge suitcase and squeezed his nose to ease the sudden discomfort.

Then, along the golden bracelet, he took out a gold watch from his vest pocket, slammed it open, and glanced at it to confirm the time.

After truly bidding farewell to his brother and sister, Klein deliberately went to the department store, spent 4 pounds 10 Soul bought a gold pocket watch, and was equipped with a gold chain of 1 pound 5 Sule.

- For him, you can't always grasp the specific and clear time, and it will cause panic.

Originally, Kline planned to buy a silver pocket watch and felt that it was in line with his own temperament. However, considering the true meaning of the "clown", he finally chose to show off more gold watches.

"6:39...not much late..." Klein licked his pocket watch, put on his cane and suitcase, followed the crowd and slowly walked out of the steam train station.

Suddenly, he turned a corner without warning, and let someone who had quietly followed him and stretched his hand to his pocket touched the air.

Klein didn't care about the episode, along the cement-paved boulevard, mixed in crowds and headed for the crossroads ahead.

There are street lawns and gardens, surrounded by pillars that stand like chimneys.

"No, it might be the chimney..." Klein saw the thick smoke from the top of the pillar.

Part of the smoke fluttered to the sky, and some of it turned into small droplets and sprinkled around.

Klein stepped again, dropped the suitcase and unfolded the newspaper and map held by the other hand.

- When riding a steam train, he has already planned where to go next and what to do.

The experience of this time and the mood experience of being a clown in the morning, let Klein finally understand the true meaning of the "clown", that is, "although it can slightly predict the fate, but still feel helpless to the fate, so cover all the sadness with a smile , pain, confusion and frustration."

At that moment, he clearly felt the digest of the "clown" potion, and believe that playing this way, it will take a long time to try to promote.

But the problem is that he still doesn't know what the corresponding sequence 7 potion is called, let alone the specific formula.

“How do I get the formula? The secrets are rare. They seem to be only interested in the items of the Antigonus family... This is why others have little knowledge of them. Um... consider two aspects, one It is to contact the local circle of extraordinary people to see if they can find clues. The second is to take the initiative to use the treasures of the Antignus family as a bait to catch the people of the secret society. After all, I hold the mysterious symbols. The composition is very different."

"But the risk is too big, you must be cautious enough, the bait can't be too 'good', not too 'poor', too 'poor', others will not be interested, too 'good' is easy to catch a giant shark, a bite I can swallow my giant shark... The leader of the close-up church, Charato, is the person who has guided Russell the Great. Maybe he also won the biggest cake of the revolutionary feast of the times... Of course, he may not be able to live. Until now, this is almost two hundred years ago..."

Between the thoughts, Klein felt the coldness of Beckland, could not help but shudder, decided to find a place to live as soon as possible.

Turning the newspaper, he once again browsed the rental version of the house and saw the one that was previously defined:

"No. 15 Minsk Street, Jowood District... Townhouses... 18 Sule per week..."

Klein has repeatedly thought about where he lives. Although Beckland has more than five million people, he still has to be wary of the possibility of encountering a local night-timer, whether it is newly transferred to Dai Li or The Loro Tower, Al-Hassen, and Borgia, who belonged to Beckland before, will definitely recognize him.

Therefore, Klein ruled out the North District where the Church of the Night Goddess Beckland Parish "St. Sayre Church" is located, excluding the best security, the most regulated Queens and West District - these two districts belong to the nobility and top The wealthy businessmen, while the former are more inclined to Queens.

Excluding several factory areas, the dock area, the eastern part of the poor and the Beckland Bridge area, Klein can choose not many, one is the Beckland Stock Exchange, the clearing house, the futures center, seven The headquarters of the big banks, various trust funds, various railway companies, the Hillston area of ​​various bulk cargo trading companies, it is called the economic, commercial and financial center of the Kingdom of Lun, and the second is a small company with many houses. Joewood District.

The traffic in these two districts is very large, and the law and order is relatively good, so it is easy to hide. After careful thinking, Klein chose the Jowood area where the rent was cheaper.

- He did not look for organizations such as the Metropolitan Housing Improvement Association and the Metropolitan Labour Class Housing Improvement Corporation because these require a certain identity certificate, and he is currently unable to get it.

"If you can't rent a house today, look for a small hotel that doesn't need proof of identity to stay temporarily..." Klein closed the things in his hands and put them on the suitcase. According to the map, he looked at the door of a department store. The place went.

That is the entrance to the Beckland subway.

Yes, the subway!

When Klein first saw the term "subway" from newspapers and magazines, he was shocked. He did not expect this kind of transportation to become a reality without entering the electrical age.

It was born twenty-five years ago, first connected to the banks of the Tsock River, and now it has expanded to the main urban areas. Of course, there are not many sites.

Through the gate, Klein followed the people in front and walked to the ticketing point step by step.

After a few minutes of the team, he finally saw a beautiful blonde ticket seller.

The girl did not look up and pointed to the price tag hanging near the window:

"The peak period (7:00 am to 9:00 am, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm), 10 minutes, the remaining 15 minutes, 6 pence in the first class, 4 pence in the second class, 3 pence in the third class, 9 in the round trip, respectively 6, 5 pence, the annual ticket is 8 pounds in the first seat, 5 pounds in the second seat, 10 solers, and the third class has no annual ticket."

It’s cheaper than I thought... There is no limit to the distance... Melissa definitely likes this over the carriage, but this is the crystallization of machinery... Klein thought about it, and suddenly it was a little uncomfortable.

He gave a brilliant smile and took out four copper pennies and handed it to the conductor:

"second class."

Snapped! The ticket seller tore the ticket, stamped a chapter, and handed it to Klein.

I found the line to the Jowood area. After a rigorous inspection, Klein descended down the stairs and quickly came to the platform. According to the sign of the ground, I found the corresponding position of the second seat.

Hey!

After not waiting for a long time, he heard the rolling reverberation, like the thunder of the whistle, saw a huge steam train head with a powerful sense of power broke through the gas lamps on both sides, and the locals stopped.

Its huge shape, sturdy body, black iron color and complex machinery are mixed together for a unique beauty.

The Beckland's subway still uses steam trains. The thin smoke is in a unique design, through the upper pipe, into the chimney and heading for the outside world.

This is the “real use” of street lawns and gardens.

In the sound of metal friction, Klein waited for the passengers in front to go down, then took the cane and the suitcase, walked slowly, and accepted the flight attendant's ticket.

Unlike the third-class seat, the second-class seat is one person. Don't worry about being robbed. Klein just sat down, put his suitcase and leaned on his cane, and heard a rush of footsteps.

He subconsciously looked at the door and saw a thin, face-to-face boy hurried into the carriage.

The boy wore an old age coat, a dome hat, carrying a worn-out satchel and his head buried low.

"Sorry, I got on the wrong car, I am a third-class seat..." He lit the ticket, apologized to the flight attendant, and then walked quickly toward the third-class car.

Klein retracted his view, reconfirmed his destination and waited for the door to close.

Just then, he heard a messy and rushing footsteps, and then saw several men wearing black jackets and half-high hats rushing into the compartment.

Chasing the fifteen-year-old boy? Klein intuitively came up with such an idea.

He shook his head slightly and continued to look at his newspaper and map, no different from other passengers in the car.

Note 1: This joke comes from a former magazine in the UK, "Awkward."
