Chapter 562 Train
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Two days later, at noon, a crimson steam train with an ancient style slowly entered the Quicksand Town Railway Station. This is Garden No. 1, a tourist train that travels around the central continent. It adopts a retro style and strives to recreate the classic luxury of the Industrial Revolution more than 2,000 years ago.
However, the central continent didn’t have much scenery to look at. It was either endless wheat fields, sparsely vegetated wastelands, bare stone mountains, or large chimneys in the factory area. Although the rainfall in the central continent was the highest in the world, it was concentrated in the dark jungle to the east, and it was relatively dry to the west, so the vegetation was not dense.
At this moment, on the platform paved with bluestones, between the pillars made of red bricks stood a lonely traveler. He wore grey casual clothes and big sunglasses. When the train stopped, he entered the carriage. The train then began to move, as if it had stopped for him alone.
This traveler was precisely Tie Zha, who had just arrived from Crimson Peak Stronghold to attend the appointment.
Looking around, the interior of the carriage was luxuriously decorated. The floor was covered with a red carpet embroidered with golden threads. Above it were ancient crystal lamps. Under the window on the left were baskets of flowers and various kinds of crafts. On the right were tables with white tablecloths, bright silver candlesticks, and white porcelain plates. Beside the table were four oak chairs with red leather cushions. They were simple and honest, showing luxury. In the middle of the carriage was a passageway. Standing here, it was as if time had flowed back, returning to the era of oil painting.
“Dingling …”
A light bell rang from behind. Looking back, an old woman in a dark blue maid’s dress was pushing the dining cart over slowly. Tie Zha turned to the side and moved aside. The old maid nodded slightly at him as she passed by, expressing her gratitude.
As the bell rang, Tie Zha adjusted his clothes and walked into the passageway.
Not far ahead, a dignified woman in a beige dress was sitting at a table. Her slender hands were wearing gauze gloves, and she was supporting her small chin as she looked out of the car window in a daze.
She was tall, with wide shoulders, a tall neck, and a distinctive collarbone. From the side, the lines on his back were graceful and smooth, and his sitting posture was elegant and capable, giving off an indescribable smell. It was both knowledgeable and powerful, gentle and dignified. These contradictory temperaments were mixed together, but there wasn’t the slightest bit of disharmony, as if she was born like this.
This unique temperament belonged to the White Rose of the Temple-Eva Green.
As soon as Tie Zha approached, Eva turned her head and looked over. The moment their eyes met, the scene seemed to freeze. The two of them did not move, only quietly looking at each other. All the words in his heart turned into silent gazes.
Eva gradually regained her senses, left her seat and stood up.
Seeing that the number of Iranians in front of him had decreased considerably, Tie Zha felt his eyes turn hot. He strode forward and hugged her. The other party’s entire body trembled and was stunned. Then, he opened his arms and hugged his neck tightly.
“I’m sorry.” Tie Zha whispered.
“What’s the matter?” Eva asked softly.
“I don’t know.” However, you didn’t do anything wrong to me … she asked doubtfully.
Tie Zha slowly exhaled and said, “I just … want to say this to you.”
‘”Alright then” Eva gently rubbed his hair. After a while, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly and whispered in his ear, “Little man, I forgive you.”
“Thank you.” Tie Zha loosened his grip and looked at her. Suddenly, he gave a wicked smile and pressed it against his sparkling red lips.
“Oh” The lingering kiss lasted for several minutes until Eva’s face turned red and pushed him away.
Afterwards, the two of them sat down face to face. Eva rang the bell, and an old maid quickly pushed the dining cart over.
Not long after, she delivered a Dr3651-year-old Syris Manor sea demon red wine with oak corks and napkins, and a bottle of St. Augustman Roja brandy soaked in ice buckets. Then, another old maid brought an appetizer with shredded ginger soaked in red vinegar, cucumbers from the Western Continent, and several dishes that Tie Zha could not name.
Then there’s the main course, with deep-sea blue swordfish fins that make soup, fried distant mountain matsutake, oak-roasted snow mountain yak ribs, iced Atlantic shrimp sashimi, white-roasted western lettuce in spring water …
After eating quietly for a while, Tie Zha took out a magazine and pushed it over on the table.
Eva only glanced at him and smiled. “Speak, my little man.”
“Aren’t you going to flip it open?” Tie Zha signaled. This magazine was bought by him at the convenience store at the entrance of Belicarte Hospital in Elk City some time ago. It detailed the advantages, disadvantages, and applicability of the Black Oil Power Armor and the Abyss Devil Power Armor, as well as the viewpoint of Central Heavy Industries, and various advanced theoretical knowledge.
“From the cover of the Central Continent’s military magazine, you can tell what it says.” Eva drank a mouthful of red wine and commented.
“What did you say?” Tie Zha asked.
“The benefits of mass production of black oil power armor, the cost-effectiveness of black oil, and the need for planar warfare …” Eva gave an example. Looking at Tie Zha in a daze, “How do you know?” She sneered and said, “Isn’t it just some ideas that are beneficial to them? Apart from that, what else can they say?”
“But what they said makes sense.” Tie Zha said seriously.
“Is that so?” Eva asked as she picked up the bell beside the table and shook it. An old butler quickly came over. Eva instructed, “Bring me a military magazine from the Western Continent.”
“Dear Marshal Dai, which publisher do you want?” The old butler asked.
“Anything.” Eva said.
A moment later, the old butler returned with a brand-new magazine. Tie Zha picked it up and saw an unseen mecha printed on the cover. There were also some well-crafted and decorated firearms.
“Abyss Devil Concept Mecha, a New Era for Originators–Archimedes Institute of Technology’s Abyss Devil Technology Laboratory’s latest news.”
“Comprehensive Analysis of Black Oil Power Armor–Future Scientific and Technological Analysis and Review Group of Northern Military Academy.”
“Who snatched my cake and kicked me-the mystery of Central Heavy Industries’ plunging stock,” said Justin, an ad hoc commentator.
“Runic Firearms, the Gospel of Psionic Warriors–Technical Report of the Psionic Energy Research Center of the Central Silver City Military Academy.”
Tie Zha flipped through the articles related to the black oil mecha and looked at them roughly. He found that they were all negative analyses. For example, when black oil is burned, the radiation emitted affects the user’s lifespan. For a long period of time, the user will not be able to live for 50 years. It will also bring about the activity of killing sperm/eggs, leading to sterilization. For example, the refining process of black oil will produce three times the radiation pollution of a nuclear power plant, and so on …
The more Tie Zha read, the more awkward it became. He simply closed the magazine and stopped reading.
“Commander, if you have any opinions, you may as well say it directly.” Eva said seriously.
Iron slag looked hesitant, and Eva couldn’t help but giggle. “This … can you … ah …” Tie Zha’s entire body was uncomfortable from her laughter. She narrowed her eyes, only to see a cold light burst out from those pitch-black eyes, revealing a sense of danger.
“Alright, alright, don’t be angry. I won’t laugh anymore.” Eva put away her smile and said seriously, “Do you want me to hint at Central Heavy Industries to let them continue their research and development of black oil powered armor?”
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded.
“Oh, this matter sounds a little …” Eva put on a thoughtful look. “Sell me and ask me to help you count the money.”
“Uh” For a moment, Tie Zha was speechless.
“Although it’s too much, who wants you to be my little man?” Eva changed the topic, and Tie Zha’s face immediately revealed a pleasant surprise. “You agree?”
“First of all …” Eva raised a finger as white as an onion and said, “I must praise you for not making this request in bed.”
Tie Zha rubbed his forehead, looking a little embarrassed.
“Second …” She raised her second finger and said, “We don’t need to do anything to achieve what you want. In fact, as long as Central Heavy Industries exists, they will continue to develop until the day of disintegration, regardless of what they said or did before.”
“What do you mean?” Tie Zha didn’t understand.
“It’s very simple. Businessmen can take any risk in order to make a profit.” Eva explained, “Central Heavy Industries invested tens of millions of gold coins in the development of the black oil power armor.” She paused for a moment and asked, “Dear Commander, do you think they will give up?”
“Are they willing to make enemies with True Gods for profit?” Tie Zha asked.
“Merchants believe in gold coins. As long as the profits are appropriate, they can sell their god of wealth at any time.” Eva explained this in detail.
Over the past few years, with the expansion of the production scale of the Central Heavy Industries, the expansion speed of human beings could not meet their needs, so they needed more wars and more territories.
However, expanding armaments was always a double-edged sword. In order to fight against the new type of weapons, the swarm of insects would likely evolve, and the demons would also be able to unseal some of the forbidden spells. Simply put, war is just a game in which both sides agree on the rules of the game. However, if humans unilaterally changed the rules, unstable factors that were originally hidden deep in the depths of the earth would probably surface. At that time, no one could predict where the war would go.
The demons were forced to unseal the Heaven-destroying Curse, humans were forced to create nuclear bombs to clean up everything, and swarm of insects were forced to destroy the ecological environment recklessly. However, the ultimate goal of war was to fight for resources and living space, not to destroy each other.
Therefore, maintaining a relative balance was the main theme of Silver City’s current world.
“Thank you.” After listening to Eva’s analysis, Tie Zha raised his glass and said. The former collided with him, and then the two of them drank it all in one gulp.
“Then …” Tie Zha put down his wine glass and asked casually, “Have you finished eating yet?” When he asked, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring.
“I … I haven’t finished eating yet …” Eva’s face immediately turned red as she lowered her head and said.
“Then eat.” After Tie Zha finished speaking, he didn’t wait for the other party to reply and added, “Eat more. The time after that will be very long.”
‘”I am a Holy Light Judge” Eva whispered.
“And then?” “I’ve already sworn an oath to the Three Extremes …” “You can’t have sex with anyone.” “Is that so?” Tie Zha asked.
“Yes.” Eva gritted her teeth and said.
“But what does this have to do with me?” Tie Zha grinned and reminded, “In the eyes of your True Gods, I am only a heretic.” It had to be said that in the entire history of mankind, in front of the acting marshal of the Dawn Expeditionary Army, he dared to righteously say that he was a heretic. Perhaps he was the only one.
“No, no …” Eva looked very panicked, her hands tightly tugging at the hem of her skirt. Because of the excessive force, her knuckles turned slightly pale. Half a month ago, in the presence of Pope Saint Augustman Modleton and the Grand Sister, she swore the oath of the Three Extremes and joined the trial.
“Just pretend …” Tie Zha tried to comfort her, “that she was captured by the enemy.”
“You” Facing this hateful heretic, she felt powerless.
“Hurry up and eat.” Tie Zha urged.
Eva picked up a piece of beef and put it into her mouth, chewing it slowly. The only thing she could do now was to extend her lunch time as much as possible, but only if she had a large enough stomach. Coupled with the pagan who was enthusiastic about cutting her steak, she really didn’t have the confidence to last long.
About an hour later, her stomach bulged slightly. She had already eaten several jin of beef and could not hold on any longer.
True God, your followers have done their best …
Eva closed her eyes and muttered in her heart. Her sour hands could no longer hold the fork, and with a “pong” sound, she fell onto the plate. Soon after, it was as if she had fallen into a stormy sea. Her thin dress was instantly torn into pieces. Then, like a helpless boat, she floated up and down in the rainstorm, rolling back and forth, enduring rounds of fierce shocks.
“But … damn heretics … Quickly … let me go … Holy Light will cleanse the world of all evil …” In order to alleviate her guilt, she imagined herself as a devout believer who had fallen into the enemy’s hands and suffered the humiliation of the heretics in the dark prison cell.
“You have committed an unforgivable crime.” Tie Zha said cooperatively, but for some reason, an indescribable hatred rose in his heart. Ever since he was young, he had been avoiding the cleansing of the temple. As long as he could see the iron cross of the temple from afar, he would have to flee into the wilderness.
“Burning … Burning you evil bug mutants is … the will of the Holy Light.” Eva gritted her teeth and said, her eyes filled with provocation. Even though she didn’t hate bugs in the depths of her heart. However, in this situation, perhaps he wanted to enter the play deeper and forget about his troubles, or perhaps he could feel Tie Zha’s hatred towards the Temple, and the God Representative ghost messenger said this sentence to kill his heart.
In an instant, Tie Zha’s eyes turned red. His anger was completely ignited, and the impact grew stronger and stronger, almost causing Eva to faint.
Seeing that he lost control of his emotions, Eva struggled and took out three flames of life from her necklace and stabbed them into her carotid artery.
“Let go of me, evil bug!” Feeling the rich vitality pumping into her heart, Eva straightened her chest, opened her eyes wide, and stared straight at Tie Zha. While enduring the heavy impact, she spoke with contempt and provocation.
Tie Zha remained silent, but the hatred in his eyes deepened.
“Pa!” “Pa!” “Pa!”
Every collision was incomparably fierce and crisp. Eva only felt that it was about to be pierced through.
“Judge heresy in the name of God.”
“Ah … Uh …”
“Insect mutant, I will wield the Eclipse Blade and wipe out your existence.”
“Ah … Ah … Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah!”
“Admit your guilt, or I’ll kill you.” Tie Zha roared.
“Eh … Eh …” She had already lost her ability to shout and could only bear it silently. After sprinting continuously, the first round was finally over.
“I … I admit my guilt …” Eva hurriedly pleaded softly for mercy.
However, this is just an appetizer. There are three side dishes, two main dishes, one fruit salad, one vegetable salad, one dessert, and a few drinks …
