Mystic Dominator

Finally, Naxos was dragged up by Ronald.

But wait for someone to pull it up.

One of them was almost dead from exhaustion, and the other was exhausted from running too hard.

clap - clap -

With almost one movement, they collapsed side by side on the train door.

You hit me, and the two began to breathe rhythmically there.

"call......"

"I'm exhausted."

After straightening his collar with trembling hands, Ronald asked intermittently:

"Nai... Naxos."

"Didn't you just say you were safe?"

Glancing at Ronald with his head tilted, Naxos instantly made an excuse for himself:

"It's not really my problem."

"Didn't my shoes break in Montenegro?"

"As a result, the soles of the shoes I found in the villa in Montenegro were different from what I usually wear, which directly caused my feet to slip."

"Otherwise, I would never have such a problem."

"..."

Seeing Naxos' expression of "I believe it anyway, you can believe it or not", Ronald could only shake his head helplessly:

"Fine."

"Anyway, it's time to get in the car."

————

On both sides of the train, the scenery flies by.

The position of the stars above the head has not changed, and the woods on both sides of the railway track have begun to become scarce.

Stay away from the direction approaching the big forest, although the surrounding area is still deserted.

But it is also gradually breaking away from the silence of no man's land.

Based on observations of the sky over the past few days, Ronald was pretty sure the train was headed southwest.

If I remember correctly...

That is the direction to the sea.

Slowly, Ronald asked:

"Nessos, is this train going to the sea?"

Naxos nodded:

"That's right."

"Before arriving at Brunwich, the Dongfeng also passed through two towns along the coast..."

Ronald noticed a word:

"Dongfeng?"

Sensing the doubtful tone of his companion, Naxos continued to explain:

"That's right, it's the Dongfeng."

"Because it started from Springs, the capital of Grid, all the way east to the easternmost border of the empire, and back and forth, so Her Majesty the Queen gave this train such a name."

"That's it..."

The two chatted with one question and one answer, and the time passed by every minute.

In about a quarter of an hour.

Naxos stood up with the carriage behind him, and patted the dust on his clothes:

"According to this time."

"I'll get off at the next town after dawn tomorrow morning."

Ronald looked up, his companion.

In other words, the first man who can be called a friend after time travel is staring at him with steel blue pupils, which is the color of separation.

Immediately, Naxos stretched out his hand to Ronald who was still sitting on the ground:

"Come on, Ronald."

"Um."

Holding the extended palm of the opponent, Ronald stood up.

They rested for more than a quarter of an hour, and now it's time to move around.

"Nessus, we..."

"Listen to me, Ronald."

Just as he was about to speak, Ronald was interrupted by Naxos.

Mr. Hang Shang climbed up to the roof of the car while holding the handle of the car, and said to him at the same time:

"You are different from me."

"There's no need to stay in that boring seaside town."

"Or Burenwich two stops later, or the end of this train, Springs, the capital of the country.

"

"That kind of place is the place where people like you should display their abilities."

While keeping up with the other party, Ronald immediately explained:

"I......"

"I know."

This time, it was Naxos who interrupted Ronald again.

Standing on the roof of the car and dragging up Ronald who was also climbing up, Mr. Hong Shang said in a very complicated tone:

"You have difficult questions, I can see that."

"So don't worry, I can prepare for you both your identity and your place of residence."

"Even if it's a personal investment of mine."

"is that OK?"

"..."

Ronald was silent.

With the eyesight of my companion, it is only natural to see that he has problems along the way.

So, he is a little uncertain now.

Is this 'investment' the 'personal investment' that Naxos said, or is there some deeper 'thing'?

Insufficient conditions——

Can't judge.

Standing firmly on the top of the train, let the cold wind blow the corners of his coat.

Ronald can find an excuse to evade directly.

Such reasons are nothing but brains, and he can find a lot of them.

But after all, he is not the kind of rational machine that maintains a detached posture at all times. After the two of them have experienced life and death like this, he cannot simply reject Naxos.

"..."

Naxos took Ronald's silence into his eyes.

Then, the merchant laughed.

"Ha ha."

"Smart guy like you just likes to think too much."

"Let's go first, let's go to the front compartment."

Going up to Naxos who led the way, Ronald asked:

"The carriage in front?"

"Have you prepared in advance?"

"That's right." Regarding Ronald's question, Naxos simply admitted, "When this train departs, I reserved an exclusive compartment, as long as we don't disturb others and rush over."

"..."

Interesting.

When the train departed, Naxos was obviously still playing wilderness survival with himself.

How is it possible to go to the station to buy a ticket!

Taking a step back, even if this is a reserved ticket.

Naxos had also been active in the merchant team for a long time before, so he didn't have the opportunity to buy tickets at all.

There is only one explanation -

Naxos and other companions bought tickets for him before the train departed.

That's why this guy is so eager to board this train!

But in this way, new problems emerged.

If there is no Montenegro incident, they should rush to that seaside town as planned.

With the speed of the merchant convoy, it was too late for Naxos.

Why?

"..."

Ronald was meditating in the back, and Naxos in front led the way without noticing anything.

After passing three cars on top of the train.

He looked around and counted the number of carriages, and then said:

"That's it."

"The third compartment below the front of the car is our destination."

"good."

The roof was turned down, and the door of the compartment was locked due to night driving.

Putting his ear close to the car door and confirming that the night watchman in the car was not here, Naxos began to fiddle with the iron lock on the door.

Click——

Just like in Montenegro, even though the train's door lock was much more advanced, Naxos quickly picked it open.

Quietly opening the compartment door, the two of them slipped in under the cover of night.

The interior of the car is very nice.

Waxed wooden interiors are placed in every corner of the carriage, among which there are some shiny metal ornaments, and red and yellow carpets are laid on the aisle on the right side of the train as the passage.

Refer to the times the world is in.

This is definitely one of the best cars on the train!

Leading Ronald forward to the door of the third compartment of the car, Naxos swiped lightly on the door with his finger, then opened the door and walked into it.

Inside the carriage, the two sat opposite each other.

Feel the upholstered benches and watch the night scene speeding by outside the car window.

Both understand—

Tonight, I can finally rest.
