Chapter 295: Chapter 246, Discordant Evil Words_1
Hearing Wu Heng say that the whole city is his.
Joy erupts on the faces of both women.
Mini jumps up cheering, “Yay, from now on, I’ll be the maidservant of the City Lord.”
Andre Willow, on the other hand, was calmer, remarking, “Congratulations, master, on becoming a City Lord.”
“Hmm, Lundham City is now our shield. Even if things do not go well outside, we can always come back to be a City Lord,” Wu Heng said with a smile.
The possession of such a city gives them more confidence in the outer world.
“Next, are we heading straight to Gold and Silver Island?” Andre Willow asked.
Wu Heng responded promptly, “Hmm, Wei’er, Mini, you two must vacate your rooms and wait for me at the door.”
“Oh, alright master.” The two women nodded and walked out.
While no one was watching, Wu Heng opened the boundary door and transported two skeleton attendants to another world.
Upon descending the stairs, the two women waited for him at the door.
Wu Heng beckoned them and together, they headed towards the city outskirts.
…
Having left the city, Wu Heng put on the ‘Train Captain’s Hat’.
Immediately afterward, a resounding whistle echoed in the air.
To the astonishment of both women, a military green train came to a halt before them.
“Phantom Train!” Mini exclaimed in surprise.
Andre Willow also echoed, “So, it truly exists.”
In Lundham City, there have always been rumors about the Phantom Train.
Both of them had obviously heard of them.
“See if you can get on,” Wu Heng suggested.
Upon further inspection of the interior through the opened train door, Mini raised her foot to climb in only to be repelled by an invisible force.
“I can’t get on. It’s as if there’s a wall blocking the entrance,” Mini said, looking back at him.
Wu Heng nodded, “Don’t panic, wait for a moment.”
He climbed onto the train and found the location for the passenger count on the back of the itinerary, writing ‘2.’
Inside the train, Wu Heng gestured at them.
After Mini’s attempt to climb the train, she stepped onto it effortlessly.
“I’ve made it.”, she hollered.
Andre Willow then followed and stepped on as well.
The ‘Train Captain’s Hat’ description allowed for a maximum of two appointed accompanying passengers.
So, this was how it would be operated.
Wu Heng held the itinerary and instructed, “Once the train starts, we will lose our senses. Don’t be scared. Just sit on the side until we reach our destination.”
The two women nodded in understanding.
Without wasting time, Wu Heng noted that if too much time elapsed, the train would return directly to the starting station.
He promptly wrote ‘Gold and Silver Island’ on the itinerary.
However, upon writing, the original ink blurred instantly and reformed into the name ‘Netalee City.’
Wu Heng was taken aback but understood the reason almost immediately.
The train could not reach a city that was not recorded on the itinerary; it would arrive at the nearest station after the name was written.
Therefore, they could not reach Gold and Silver Island directly and would stop at ‘Netalee City’ instead.
Ka-la~!
The train door closed and slowly began to move.
The next second, it whizzed into the void. Nothing was visible out the window, and the three of them lost all their senses except their eyesight.
Mini gaped in awe, her mouth moving non-stop, while Andre Willow was somewhat nervous.
Wu Heng took both of their hands, guided them to the carriage, and sat down on one side.
Both women flanked him, clutching his arm tightly.
……
Unknown amounts of time passed.
Daylight came back to the world outside the window, and the train slowed down.
With a Kala sound, the door opened.
The three of them were startled. Was it already?
Immediately afterward, a golden-haired man with green eyes, who had a short tapering hair, walked in.
He wore a blue robe adorned with golden patterns and costly ornaments.
Upon boarding the train and noticing the trio at a distance, he faltered.
Clearly he hadn’t expected anyone else, let alone three of them.
The train began to move as the view outside the window shifted back into the void.
The man glanced at the hat on Wu Heng’s head and introduced himself with a noble gesture and a smile.
Wu Heng considered him and in return unholstered his gun.
Without the skeleton attendants and a sudden stranger coming on board, he felt a bit nervous.
However, seeing the man’s friendly behavior, he modestly nodded in return.
The blond-haired man sat down near them, maintaining a perfect posture without looking sideways.
Wu Heng and his companions remained seated, calm, yet vigilant.
Time ticked on.
The train halted again, and the old dial on the door read ‘Chelou.’
The capital of the Yeko Kingdom.
The blond man stood up, smiled at them once more, and then disembarked.
No doubt, he was no ordinary man, and his identity was even more peculiar than they had originally anticipated.
The train started moving once again.
As it glided into space.
……
When they reappeared.
The train had reached ‘Netalee City.’
The three of them disembarked and instantly felt the discomfort of hunger. Fortunately, they were professionals; otherwise, they would have fainted from hunger on the spot.
Wu Heng took out some food from his ring, sat beneath a tree, and ate a bit.
The journey from Lundham City had taken about four days. Next time, they would have to take care not to starve on their journey due to the loss of the senses of time and hunger.
After their stomachs were somewhat full.
A carriage drove by, and the three of them hitched a ride into ‘Netalee City.’
“Wow~! This place is incredible!” Mini exclaimed like a provincial maiden entering the city for the first time.
The roads were broad and smooth, and the buildings were grand and uniquely designed.
It was incomparable to a place like Lundham City.
The bustling crowd filled the streets. Horse-drawn carriages carried goods to shops or headed out of the city.
Among the passing crowd, they spotted ‘dwarves,’ ‘short ones,’ and tall slender persons with pointed ears who might be from the elf race.
