Chapter 94 The episode on the train
"What's going on with this Weishan man?" Leo couldn't help but wonder.
"The Weishan people are a tribe in the Moissan continent. There are countless tribes like this in the Moissan continent." Sylvia sighed slightly and said: "Back then, the Imperial Railway Company was hired to build a peaceful railway on the Moissan continent.
The railway route for the same continent-wide train on Velen Continent must pass through the sacred land of the Weishan people tribe, and the Weishan people certainly don’t agree.”
Leo guessed: "So you used force to occupy this land?"
"Don't think that we are as barbaric as you," Sylvia glared at Leo coldly, but then she felt a little lack of confidence and said, "But the subsequent methods were not very glorious. In the end, we made trouble.
At the Continental Congress, the Continental Congress voted that the sacred land of the Weishan people was state-owned land of the Kingdom of Mojiaganu, and the royal government had the right to decide the use of the land, so it forcibly passed the decision to build a railway on the sacred land of the Weishan people."
"What happened next?" Leo speculated based on common sense: "The Weishan people stopped it, and the railway company forcibly laid the tracks. The two sides clashed, resulting in heavy casualties."
"Although there was a conflict, there were not many casualties. Only the Weishan people's shaman died." Sylvia looked a little ugly and said: "After the shaman died, the Weishan people disappeared overnight.
No more conflicts with the railway company."
"This is not good news." Leo knew very well that anything abnormal represented the coming of disaster.
"People didn't think that way at the time." Sylvia had a disdainful sneer on her face, obviously very dissatisfied with the railway company responsible for this matter at the time, and said: "But soon they panicked, and the senior officials of the Imperial Railway Company came one after another.
They were killed and cut into pieces. Each corpse had a declaration of war from the Weishan people. They did not stop retaliating until all the senior officials of the railway company and officials of the Mogagannu Kingdom who were involved in the incident were killed.
.”
"It seems that the Weishan people are a very vindictive ethnic group." Leo frowned: "Then why did they appear again this time? The speaker who died this time was the one who pushed the parliament to transfer the Weishan people's holy land to Mogagan
Speaker of the Slave Kingdom?”
Sylvia shook her head and said: "Of course not, that speaker died of illness a few years ago."
Leo analyzed: "It seems that someone is using the Weishan people as an excuse to remove some obstacles."
"Do you still need to tell me?" Sylvia said angrily: "Anyone with a little bit of intelligence can figure out who did this, but there is no evidence to prove it."
Leo ignored the sarcasm in Sylvia's tone and asked curiously, "What does this matter have to do with you? Why did the Sky Tower send extra personnel to protect you?"
Sylvia's face immediately became very ugly, and she hesitated for a moment before saying: "The reason why the railway company chose the sacred land of the Weishan people as the railway route was entirely because they read the novel I wrote and knew that there was a secret valley where they could directly
Through the Moissanite Mountains.”
"Oh! That's it." Leo looked like he suddenly realized it, and looked at Sylvia with a look that said you deserved it, which made Sylvia's eyelids jump, and the anger that had just been suppressed rose again.
"If nothing happens, you can leave!" Sylvia felt that if Leo continued to stay here, it would be difficult for her to calm down, so she directly issued an eviction order.
Leo had no intention of staying here anymore, so he put the document bag into his backpack and walked out of the room.
After Leo left the room, Sylvia gradually recovered from her fluctuating emotions. She looked at the door with complicated eyes, curled her lips, turned to the unconscious Emily, and said, "You think this too?"
Are you a hateful bastard? If you don't say anything, it will be considered as your acquiescence! Your clothes are really terrible. You need to change your clothes, your hair is not good-looking, and you need to put on some makeup..."
Leo didn't know at all how Sylvia played with the unconscious Emily like a doll in the Sky Tower room, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Although it was a bit cold, in his eyes,
All it takes is a living Emily.
After leaving the Sky Tower, Leo went directly to the intercity steam train station located at the junction of the three embassy districts of America, Panier, and Mogagannu.
The previous Miliya intercity train had just left the station five minutes ago, and the next one would arrive in fifteen minutes. Leo sat on the waiting chair on the platform of the station, holding a few coins he had just bought.
I read a newspaper.
The headlines on the front pages of all newspapers are the news that the Speaker of the Continental Congress has been murdered, and the security department of the Continental Congress has intervened in the investigation. The Political Department of the French Empire is also following up, and all Weishan people are wanted in the city.
Although the newspapers reported the Speaker's death extensively, Leo was surprised to find that the ordinary people around him behaved calmly about the incident.
After asking the ordinary passengers sitting next to him who were also waiting for the bus, Leo learned that this was not the first time that the Speaker of the Continental Congress had been assassinated.
In fact, after the establishment of the Mainland Congress, no clues were found. It can only be concluded that seventeen speakers died accidentally, and as many as thirty-five speakers can be confirmed to have been assassinated or murdered. Only seven speakers were finally able to
He passed away, and among the seven speakers, six resigned from the position of speaker midway, so only one person died in the position of speaker, that is, the speaker of the previous term.
It’s no wonder that the people of Miria City took the speaker being killed and dismembered so indifferently, mainly because they had experienced too much. For them, the assassination of the speaker is not news, but the fact that the speaker is still alive is news, like
The previous speaker died of illness while in office. The people of Milia City regarded it as a miracle. Newspapers reported the matter for a whole week.
At this time, a whistle came from the distance of the railway, and then I saw the steam rising into the sky like an eye-catching sign, reminding everyone on the platform. Everyone stood up from the waiting chairs and walked to the isolation area.
Beside the railing.
At this moment, a burst of noisy sounds suddenly came from outside the station. Among these sounds were the shouts of ordinary people, the sound of police whistles, and the sound of more items falling to the ground.
Not long after, I saw a sudden commotion among the crowd at the entrance of the platform not far away. Then a thin figure squeezed out of the crowd and ran quickly towards the platform. Behind him, several policemen were blowing whistles and waving.
Police baton, quick pursuit.
People on the platform didn't know what was going on, but they didn't want to cause trouble, so they all gave way when the thin figure ran over.
And the thin figure was obviously unwilling to let go of such a good road-blocking tool. When running in the crowd, he would pull the women around him who were caught off guard from time to time, causing their bodies to involuntarily block the route he ran towards, blocking his path.
The police were chasing after me.
Soon the thin figure arrived not far from Leo. A pair of calm triangular eyes under the deliberately lowered peaked cap glanced at Leo's eye-catching backpack, and a smile appeared on his dirty face.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that when he passed by Leo, he deliberately bumped into the backpack behind Leo. A small hole was exposed in the backpack, and then he quickly stuffed something in his hand into the backpack. The whole process was
It was completed in an instant, and with the body covering up, no one noticed except the two parties involved.
This thin figure was obviously very confident in his own skills. Without even stopping to check, he sprinted forward, jumped over the barrier, and ran towards the fast approaching train.
When he was some distance away from the front of the train, amidst the exclamations of everyone on the platform, the thin figure jumped off the platform and landed on the rails. Then he turned over, brushed against the edge of the train, and landed on the other side of the train.
Disappeared in the steam emitted by the train, leaving only the policemen on the platform shouting angrily.
For the passengers boarding the train on the platform, this incident can be regarded as a source of gossip during the journey. Many people are guessing whether the thin figure is a man or a woman and why he is being chased by the police.
Waiting for questions.
As the train stopped on the platform, passengers boarded the train one after another. Leo followed the flow of people and got on the train, finding a seat by the window and sitting down.
After that, Leo randomly took out one of the Gamore poetry manuscripts that Old Rembrandt gave him from his backpack and read it. As for the palm-sized object wrapped in cloth in the corner of the backpack, he did not touch it.
.
Soon the train restarted with a whistle and moved forward slowly. The carriage was not full of people yet. The position Leo was sitting in was a bit remote and there was no one around, so he could read the text in his hand with peace of mind.
Gamore poetry.
Although this kind of poetry written in the Gamore language was obscure and difficult to understand, Leo read it with great interest. He discovered that the same poem could become hundreds of poems with completely different meanings after changing the pronunciation of the basic root words.
, causing him to stop at one stop and not even fully read the first poem in the manuscript.
However, it was obvious that someone didn't want Leo to just read a book leisurely and reach the hunting ground on the outskirts of the city smoothly.
When the train passed one station and officially left the city of Milia, and entered the suburban city, two big men wearing ordinary cotton coats and round felt hats walked to where Leo was and sat down.
Next to Leo.
Leo sighed slightly, put down the poem manuscript in his hand, turned to look at the faces of the two people who looked different from the people in Velen Continent, said nothing, and stuffed the item in his backpack.
Take out the items that came and put them on the table, as if you just took them away and didn't want to cause trouble.
However, these two big men were obviously not prepared to let Leo go just like this. One of them said: "We hope you can help us take this thing to a place and give it to a person."
"I don't want to cause trouble." Leo looked at the two of them calmly and said.
"But you are already in trouble," the big man sitting next to Leo threatened with a fierce look: "You'd better agree to help us do this, otherwise..."
Leo sighed again when he heard this. From the two big men's perspective, Leo's helpless expression suggested that the other party should have been forced to accept their request.
However, before they could tell where they were going to take the things and who they were going to hand them over to, they felt a pain in their necks, their vision blurred quickly, and their breathing suddenly stopped.
After breaking the two men's necks, Leo gently supported their bodies, made them lie down on the table, and then covered their faces with hats, making them look like they were asleep.
After doing all this, he picked up the troublesome object again, but did not untie the cloth bag outside to see what the object was. Instead, he put it directly back into the backpack and continued to pick up the Gamore language.
Read poetry manuscripts.
About ten minutes later, the train passed two more stations and finally arrived at Leo's destination, Hunting Station.
Leo put the manuscript back into his backpack, stood up, turned over the dead man beside him, and walked toward the exit of the carriage, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
Many people on the train got off at this station. Because of the rest day, some civil servants and middle-class families in Milia City would take their families on vacation in the suburbs of the city. Among all the surrounding resorts, it is the best
Naturally, it is a hunting ground close to the Dibia Mountains.
Although spring is not a suitable season for hunting, spring is very suitable for outings. It is very pleasant for the whole family to spend a rest day in a mountain villa, so when Leo rented a mountain villa from the hunting hotel alone,
When we arrived at the hut, the person in charge of reception showed a surprised expression on his face.
Although the receptionist at the hunting hotel was puzzled that Leo came to the countryside alone at this time, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he recommended professionally: "If you are alone, I recommend our company to you."
Hot spring hotel…”
"No need! I want to live in a relatively remote mountain hut. I want to be alone and quiet." Leo stated his conditions, and the hotel receptionist who heard the conditions looked at Leo.
Becoming a little weird.
Leo seemed to realize that his words would cause ambiguity, so he added: "Don't worry, I'm not here to commit suicide. If I wanted to commit suicide, I wouldn't rent a mountain hut, but go directly to the mountain. It would be better."
Some."
The hotel receptionist rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "Haha! Sorry, it's mainly because something like that happens here every year, which makes us very nervous."
Later, the hotel receptionist introduced several mountain huts suitable for one person to live in Leo, but Leo rejected them all.
After rejecting another mountain hut, Leo suddenly suggested: "Do you have a map here? I'll pick an area on the map, and you can tell me if there are any vacant mountain huts there."
When the hotel receptionist heard this, he thought this method was good, so he asked someone to find a map and spread it on the table.
Soon Leo found on the map the special piece of land that was constantly rented by the escapees from No. 9 Golden Oak Street, so he drew an area around the land and asked if there were any suitable mountain huts for rent there.
The hotel receptionist checked the information and found that there was no holiday cabin built there, but there was a public hunting house for hunters to rest. Because it was spring, there were no hunters hunting, so the hunting house was vacant.
Chapter completed!
