711.A gloomy afternoon in Genoa (page 2/2)
As he put away his brushes and drawing board, he said to the serious-looking Professor Malcolm next to him.：
“You also noticed the warning from the Earth Mother to the Brass Dwarves in the battle report, as well as the dusk threat that appeared below the position at Black Flame Pass. All of this directly points to the possible, or even already occurring, corruption of the Brass Dwarves..
And the Ratman threat highlighted by Governor Murphy.
This means that the ending of the Brass Fortress may have been doomed in the eyes of the gods. I dare not guess what will happen next, but I guess that the situation in the Brass Fortress will undergo major changes..
Be sure to convey my warning to the halflings, and ask those stubborn isolationists to prepare defenses immediately. And ask the elves and Songhai fleets to take action immediately. If they do not come to support the Genoa Peninsula, then once the situation here deteriorates, the situation would be catastrophic.
I'll come back as soon as possible before things change.”
“Lord, Transia needs support.！”
Professor Malcolm said loudly：
“This battle report has explained the situation. The fact that the Knights of the Blood Alliance did not enter the Brass Fortress is the best news. This means that your clan can become the support Transia needs most..”
“But if we abandon our position, it means that the Gnolls can occupy terrain more favorable to the Brass Fortress attack.”
The Lord is quite embarrassed at this moment.
he said：
“You want me to choose between two battlefields, Professor, I can understand your mood, but there is still some time in Transia. I will discuss this matter with Grand Duke Tris and Governor Murphy. I must see it with my own eyes. I can only make a decision after seeing your defense work..
But I will give you a promise. When you need time in Transia, the knights of the Blood Alliance will never be absent..
I have to leave now.”
“You can take the Perfect Voyage Company's airship there.”
Professor Malcolm suggested：
“Captain Paula has bought four new airships here. They will leave the port in two hours and send a batch of military aid to Transia. It only takes two days to go straight there, which is faster than taking a steam train. much more.”
“I have a horse that can definitely fly faster than your airship, and I can actually teleport.”
The Lord took one look at the professor's strange expression and realized that this batch of "aid" to be sent to Transia might contain some contraband that was not so "convenient to reveal"..
The professor hopes to use Lord Paying's "face fruit" to make the airship's departure from the port smoother..
“All right.”
Lord Paying nodded and said：
“I will take the airship to leave Port Chardeau, but I don’t have that much time to fly there slowly. If you still have things that are inconvenient to transport, send them up quickly. I will only escort your airship through the halflings. customs inspection.”
“This has been a great help. Thank you for your assistance, Your Majesty..”
The professor immediately left and ran to deal with these important matters..
During this period of time, through the huge connections of Old Flywheel's mistress, Mrs. Taylor, in the black market, they collected a lot of contraband, including a batch of semi-scrapped walking machines, but how to transport them out of Port Chardeau was a big problem..
Now with the help of Lord Paying, at least this batch of goods will be fine..
With Lord Paying's character, he would not have been involved in such a thing, but this time the situation at the Black Flame Pass relied entirely on Transian manpower to turn the tide. With so much paid, even Lord Paying The Lord also had to bear some "famous debt".
He took one last look at the still calm Port Chardeau on the balcony and then looked at his unfinished oil painting. Lord Paying shook his head and casually added the last few strokes to the painting, letting the smoke clouds shroud the city. Completely transformed into a claw-seeking demon..
This represents his state of mind at this time.
He left the painting here, turned around and left the balcony to go to his room to pack his things, only to see little Sharon standing at the door of his room holding a strange mechanical squirrel..
Seeing Pa Ying coming over, Xiao Sharon shrank her neck in fear, but she still spoke.：
“My lord, things are bad in Transia, aren't they? Can I go back with you? I can't stay here and continue to waste time. The people of Xico Territory are threatened by war. As a lord, I must.”
“you should stay here！”
Lord Paying looked down at the little vampire in front of him.
He is not very good at dealing with children, but at this moment, the Lord patiently explained：
“Not only because your uncle, who knows how to adapt, has become the core figure for the Transians to raise supplies in Port Chardeau, but also because you have not even discovered that your work here is more complicated than you imagined. important.
Let me ask you, Sharon.
In the past few days, have you still encountered that strange spirit when making engineering items?？”
“Well, I will encounter it, but it is unwilling to communicate with me.”
Sharon said a little embarrassed：
“If I actively look for it, it disappears and only appears suddenly when I'm not paying attention. I feel like it's watching me, but there are so many mechanics in the city, and I don't quite understand why it's so interested in me..”
Lord Paying did not answer.
He knelt down, looked into little Sharon's eyes, and said：
“I probably shouldn't tell you this. This is not a burden you should bear, but since you have been paid attention to by it, it means that you have certain qualifications.’.
That's not an evil god, Sharon.
That is a special existence that is difficult for me to describe to you in words..
I have forgotten everything about it, but I am still very familiar with it. It was one of the protective forces of this world a long time ago..
it's not evil.
I don’t know who awakened it and guided it to Port Chardeau. I guess this should be related to the greatest mechanic who has ever been born among halflings, Mr. Bach..
It is a pity that Bach did not make this secret public until his death..
But you have to remember that it is an honor to be noticed by it, especially for vampires like us who bear the original sin, it may mean the possibility of some kind of 'atonement'.
You still can't understand it all.
But you have to believe me, the use of your stay here is much more important than following you back to Transia..”
“ah？”
Hearing the Lord's words, Sharon was a little confused for a moment. She glanced at the mechanical squirrel she made in her hand as a leisure toy, then raised her head and asked：
“Does it have a name?？”
“have.”
At this moment, the Lord reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, searching for the name from the ancient memory fragments, he said softly：
“There should be, I just remember I called it 'Eden'.”
“What a strange name.”
Sharon shrugged, she said a little discouraged：
“But I still can't understand why it chose me? Do I have any special talents that I haven't discovered yet? My mechanical manufacturing skills are not even average in Port Chardeau. I am at most a capable apprentice..”
“This has nothing to do with your skills, Sharon. The power it represents is definitely beyond what these current half-body ergonomics can explain..”
Lord Pa Ying stood up, stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Sharon's head..
he said：
“This may have something to do with your bloodline. You are a descendant of Murphy..”
“But I drank the source blood.”
“But to Eden, you are Murphy's spokesperson in Port Chardeau. Remember, use this status well..”
