The train roared towards us, passing over the pale land.
The cold wind brought down sharp snowflakes. Seleu wrapped his clothes tightly and looked at the witcher beside him with complicated eyes.
Lorenzo took a final look at the time and found that there was still time.
Breathing slightly, the secret blood was growing in his body, healing the wounds.
Perhaps the violence just now was too cruel, Seleu could still recall that horrible scene. She ignored Lorenzo and Lorenzo ignored her. In the cold wind, the two of them just remained silent.
Looking into the distance, it was snowing heavily and the vast white snow covered everything like a white ocean.
It is now the coldest time in the north of Inglvig. The low-temperature wind is blowing violently, rolling up snowflakes and covering the surface of the train with ice crystals.
According to the time calculation, the train has already traveled dozens of kilometers away from Jiudunling. The tall trees are covered with snow. It is a sparsely populated place, and the only living things that can move here are predators in nature.
"Come on, Seleu."
Lorenzo said, he seemed to signal Selyu to come closer to him, but before Selyu could react, Lorenzo directly picked her up. The blood on her body had frozen and had a faint fishy smell.
“It’s coming.”
The sound rang in my ears, and then a longer whistle sound came from behind the snow curtain, like the roar of a giant whale.
Train? Another train
Seleu thought so in his heart, and then the surging snow curtain turned dark gray.
boom!
The pitch-black steel broke through the thick snow curtain, the heavy machinery bit and turned, the scattered steam merged into the surrounding snow curtain, and seemed to bring up a thin white line, like a monster in the story, breaking out of the imprisoned book.
The road it was traveling along was covered with snow, stirring up snow waves several people high.
It was a pitch-black train. Different from ordinary trains, it was a bit bigger and completely covered with pitch-black metal, like a python wandering on the earth.
This reminded Lorenzo of the Glory, the armed train that had been converted after the purification mechanism was removed. The train that suddenly appeared in front of him was similar to it, except that it was mainly responsible for transporting cargo.
"The line beneath our feet is just a cover."
Lorenzo explained to Seleu.
"It won't reach the real 'North', it will stop at a newly built town dozens of kilometres away, and that train will take us to the real North."
This is the real transport route.
"Pastor Lawrence has joined forces with the survivors. The best way to avoid their pursuit is to have no plan. Obviously, they failed to keep up with my ideas, otherwise, what was waiting for me just now would not be those trash."
"So your hijacking was also a spur-of-the-moment decision?"
"… at least it did disrupt their plans."
Lorenzo did not directly answer Seleucus's question.
Of course, the most important point that Lorenzo did not mention is that Priest Lawrence's strange [Gap] movement will have the greatest effect in the crowd.
This is also the reason why Lorenzo suddenly wanted to take Seleu away and get rid of everyone. He had to stay away from crowded places.
At that time, Archbishop Lawrence could not use others as a springboard to invade. When there were only Lorenzo and Seleuco within a radius of several kilometers, he had only two choices: either directly invade Seleuco, or find a way to kill himself first.
