628.Travelers in Port Chardeau (page 2/2)
Of course, the steam lords must deny this statement, but the halflings believe it. Ah, you look so ugly, are you about to vomit?？
Wait！”
Little Sharon flew out in a swish, and relied on the vampire's super mobility to fly back with a small basin, so that the colorful Mrs. Sunny would not vomit on herself..
But Mrs. Sunny’s situation is indeed abnormal..
This female mountaineer who was so strong that she could strangle a swamp tiger with her arms became "frail and sickly" as soon as she arrived at Port Chardeau, the "City of Machines", even though everything was fine in Transia..
“This city is killing me.”
Mrs. Sunny wiped her mouth while complaining:：
“I shouldn't stay here, no! I must go back to Transia, to the ancestral forest. Staying in my hometown will help my children grow up healthier..
This is not a request, Sharon！
i have to do it！
I suspect that the dreams I had about the wailing forces of nature were not dreams, but warnings given to me by the spirits of the trees..
This city is not suitable for me and my children.”
“That”
Sharon also has some numb claws.
She could feel that Mrs. Sunny was indeed getting weaker day by day after arriving in Port Chardeau. She was a vampire and was very sensitive to life force..
But Mrs. Sunny is an important member of the mission, and she must get Professor Malcolm's permission to go home..
The professor has been running outside basically every day since he returned here. He is responsible for the machinery purchase contract in Transia and obtaining material support from the steam lords. He is so busy every day that it is difficult for Sharon to see him..
We can only temporarily appease the somewhat irritable Mrs. Sunny and use vampire spells to put her into a deep sleep to make her feel more comfortable..
After confirming that Mrs. Sunny was asleep, little Sharon sighed and left the manor, just as the children were being picked up from the affiliated college of Chardoux Artisan University..
Tomorrow is the weekend, these children can move around freely.
The children who were sent back were wearing the school uniforms of the college and greeted Sister Sharon enthusiastically. Little Sharon also had to check their academic performance. This part made people unhappy..
Especially those guys who couldn't keep up with their studies, looked bitter..
But overall, these kids are very sensible.
They knew the Lord's intention of sending them to Port Chardeau. Everyone tried their best to study, and the affiliated college of Chardeau Artisan University was not just for teaching. The children needed to go to the college one day a week. Factory internship to ensure their practical ability.
Just as Xiao Sharon was scolding the children who were struggling with their studies and was preparing to give them extra lessons tonight, a black carriage drove into the manor, escorted by several winged cavalry on shadow-maned war horses..
This looks like Professor Malcolm is back.
Speaking of which, because the local halflings and dwarves have never seen the combination of Shadowmane War Horse and Mountain Knight, Professor Malcolm's every trip is like a peep show, attracting many halflings and dwarves to watch..
Their pitiful sizes are not even as high as the legs of the Shadowmane warhorse. Plus, when the burly mountain knights are fully armed to ride the horses, it feels as funny as a terrifying giant entering a human city, and the mountain people Overly rough style also exacerbates the problem.
In the first week after the Transian mission arrived here, every time they went out, some timid halflings would be scared to the point of sitting on the ground crying. After sending many halflings and cowards who were fainted to the hospital for several days in a row, Marco Professor Mu also had to reduce the twelve guards he had with him to four, which slightly avoided some trouble..
“Sharon, come here.”
Professor Malcolm, who had also been running all day today, got off the carriage with a cane..
In the city, he restored the elegant dress of a former scholar, and wore an ambassadorial ribbon and badge to represent his identity. With a tired look on his face, he was followed by his deputy minister and his wife, Ms. Funa..
The latter was carrying a briefcase, but the expression on his face was anything but relaxed..
Obviously, today's exchange with a certain Steam Lord was not pleasant, and tonight there will be a banquet at the Embassy Manor to entertain some influential people in Port Chardeau, in order to obtain more war support for Transia..
Professor Malcolm has been doing similar things since arriving in Port Chardeau, and so far, the results are pretty good..
Through some previous contacts in the academic world, at least in terms of public opinion in the city, Professor Malcolm has obtained quite good "sympathy points" for Transia. Next, it is time to turn this sympathy into practical help..
For example, calling on the residents of the city to donate money to the Transians who fought against the Black Disaster Army on their own, and then purchasing various military supplies from local factories, etc..
The professor is a literary guy. He doesn't really like doing this, but now he is the only one who can do this kind of thing in this city..
With the hope from a place that was about to be ravaged by war carried on his shoulders, Professor Malcolm did not dare to slack off at all..
“A halfling transportation company called 'Perfect Shipping' sent an envoy to find me today. He conveyed Captain Paula's personal letter, which said that this company has accepted Governor Murphy's call and will soon use three airships to transport us to our current location. The purchased machinery is shipped back to Transia.
This is an unexpected surprise.”
Professor Malcolm untied his tie and walked towards the manor, while saying to little Sharon who was following him.：
“I plan to ask Funa to escort this batch of goods back to Transia first. You can collect the letters from the children and the mountain knights and let Funa take them back together. Also, the processing equipment that you specially purchased for your apprentices. You can also transport them together.
And the various gifts you prepared for everyone.”
“Good！”
Hearing that the gifts she had prepared could be sent back to her hometown, little Sharon suddenly became happy. It seemed that even the smog that always shrouded Port Chardeau was no longer so annoying..
But Sharon quickly thought of Mrs. Sunny. She told Professor Malcolm about Mrs. Sunny's situation. After hearing that Mrs. Sunny's health problems had worsened, the professor was stunned for a long time..
Finally, after personally asking Mrs. Sunny, he decided to change people and let Mrs. Sunny escort this batch of goods back home. At the same time, he replaced a hussar commander to command the embassy guard..
“You must give this letter to Mr. Murphy! I have clarified what happened to us in Port Chardeau. There are several issues that require the Governor's permission. You can ask Captain Paula to send back the Governor's reply..
It is said that the 'Perfect Shipping' company will open a new direct route to Transia in the future, with a round trip once a week. Now the children can also take advantage of the weekend to return home to see their families..”
Professor Malcolm handed a long folded letter to Mrs. Sunny. The latter immediately became happy when she heard that she would be able to return to Transia tomorrow, and even her sickly posture had recovered a lot..
This made Xiao Sharon feel suspicious that Mrs. Sunny was actually pretending to be sick..
This powerful mountain knight simply couldn't let go of his husband, and he didn't want to miss the next war, so he pretended to be weak..
Wow, even the simple and honest mountain people have learned to use their brains.！
Really
Sharon was about to scold him righteously when she suddenly saw the mechanical squirrel she had made yesterday on the table behind Mrs. Sunny suddenly turned its head and then returned to its original state..
Sharon felt that she might have seen it wrong..
After all, the mechanical squirrel was not wound up, but she swore that for a second, she did see a strange light shining in the mechanical squirrel's ruby eyes..
It's the legendary evil god！
it appears again！
Zhuo, why are there so many weird things in Port Chardeau?？
Ps: There will be an update tomorrow！
