A foreigner's journey

Step, step, step...

The leather boots made a crisp sound on the wooden floor.

Heather wore a dark blue windbreaker and walked toward the bar door while adjusting her cuffs.

"Senior brother?"

Tifa's voice came from behind. She walked out of the lounge inside and asked doubtfully: "Are you... going out?"

Heather nodded and put on a pair of black leather gloves: "Well, I need to go out for something, and I'll probably be back in the early morning."

"I understand, leave the bar to me."

Tifa is not a weak woman who only relies on Heather, she has always been strong.

With the sound of tiny electric currents, the five-meter-long Thunder Wolf Dragon cub appeared out of thin air next to Heather. As soon as it saw Tifa, it lolled its tongue, shook its head, and walked up to Tifa, begging to be touched. Touching expression.

"I left Golden Oga with you in case there is an attack by the Shinra army. If the situation is urgent, let Golden Oga cancel the summons on its own, and it will tell me what happened."

"Well, I understand, senior brother. Hehehe, Jin Oga, did you miss me? So good, so good~~"

Heather glanced at the old wolf who was lying on the ground comfortably while Tifa stroked his mane, with a look of disgust on his face. Look at you, a pet dog with narrowed eyes and purring contentedly. How can you still have the majestic and kingly temperament you had when you fought against the Lanlong on the top of Lingfeng Peak?

"I'm leaving."

"Well, be careful on the road."

"So, what exactly is this place?"

Claude held the hilt of the Destroyer Sword in his hand and looked around with a wary expression. Alice stood beside him holding a long metal staff, standing on tiptoes and looking into the distance.

The two of them were in an abandoned site that no one cared about. There were abandoned train carriages everywhere, and there were criss-crossing tracks on the ground. Further away is a very huge old vehicle storage warehouse. The surface of the warehouse is all nailed with iron sheets, which looks a bit strange.

Alice touched the surface of the old train carriage closest to her, and dark red rust chips continued to fall down as she moved.

"It seems like this is the train cemetery." She nodded affirmatively and wiped her hands on Claude's clothes.

"Train graveyard?"

"A long time ago, when Midgar was first established, it was an important transportation hub, with many trains coming and going. But with the establishment of the Steel Disk, all important Shinra Company facilities and upper-class residents were relocated to the circle. On the board, the lower area was completely abandoned, and this train transfer station became a wasteland.”

Alice talked about it:

"I also heard a rumor that every time night falls, the train cemetery will be haunted!"

"How old are you to still believe this?" Claude looked helpless.

"There are many urban legends in Midgar, but the rumor about this train cemetery is very widespread!"

Seeing that Claude didn't believe it, Alice suddenly puffed up her cheeks angrily: "People say that if you are swallowed by the black whirlwind in the train cemetery, you will wander in the train cemetery forever."

Claude shrugged his shoulders: "I didn't see the ghost, but I killed a lot of monsters along the way. I asked you, did you confuse some weird-looking monster with the rumored ghost?"

"No way! I've seen no less monsters than you!" Alice wanted to hit Claude's hedgehog on the head with the long metal staff in her hand.

He is clearly holding the same sword of destruction as [that person], but his words are so irritating!

Although Claude had a bit of a venomous tongue, he had no objection to Alice's words. After the two teamed up to defeat Raynor and Shinra soldiers in the abandoned church, they moved forward along the path pointed by Alice, encountering many monsters along the way.

Originally, Claude thought that as a bodyguard, he would have to work extra hard to protect Alice, but he didn't expect that the long metal staff in Alice's hand would dance like a tiger, and his combat effectiveness was no worse than his own.

Moreover, he keenly discovered that Alice would occasionally use her long staff to condense substantial magical energy to attack monsters from a distance during battles. A set of far and near tactics seemed to be smooth and smooth, and she was obviously taught by a famous teacher. Thinking about how she called Heather 'teacher' before, does Heather still have this ability?

Claude misunderstood Heather in this regard. Condensing magical energy out of thin air is Alice's unique skill. This is her ability as an ancient Settra.

In ancient times, those powerful Settras could perform powerful magic with their bare hands without resorting to the power of magic crystals. This was because they could communicate with the flow of life and convert the energy contained in the flow of life into magical energy. From this perspective, the ancient Settras are actually walking humanoid omnipotent magic crystals.

When Heather was thinking about Alice, she accidentally awakened the ability of the ancient Settra people. Needless to say, Heather knew that Alice must not let Shinra Company know about the fact that she had awakened her abilities.

Originally, she had been hiding it from Shinra Company, but today she suddenly felt inspired and felt that something big was about to happen. This kind of inspiration had saved her life many times, and it was also one of the abilities of the ancient Settras.

When she saw Claude falling from the sky, Alice thought the trouble was from him. But inspiration did not respond to Claude, and the familiar destroying sword also reminded Alice of her first love, a man named Zack Fair, who was once the 1st powerful warrior of the Shinra Company.

Immediately afterwards, Renault appeared in the church with the Shinra soldiers, which made Alice's heart sink. The slight expression on Renault's face even more hinted to Alice - Shinra Company is going to take action against you, run away!

So Alice decided to escape here with Claude and find Heather!

She knew that as long as she was not caught, her adoptive mother Emina would be safe, so when she and Claude passed through the Wufan Street slums, they did not even go home to find Emina, but asked the familiar Greenleaf House Orphanage The child brought a note to Emina, saying that he was safe and asking her to rest assured.

The two walked through the underground tunnel near the Wufan Street slums all the way to the junction of Liufan Street and Qifan Street, but were overtaken by Shinra Company soldiers here, and the two sides started fighting.

Due to too many enemy troops, Alice and Claude were defeated and had to flee into the walled commercial street located in the Sixth Street slum.

Unexpectedly, the boss of the walled shopping street, Kuruneo, had already taken refuge in the Shinra Company. He and the Shinra Company teamed up to force Alice and Claude into a desperate situation. In the mansion of Kuruneo, he confided the truth when he was carried away - "You guys will soon end up like those poor people on Shichiban Street! When the disk falls from the sky, everything will disappear, even the sea That annoying guy will also turn into meat! Woohee! Woohee!"

Only then did the two understand that Shinra Company had long planned to destroy the Qifan Street slums and blame everything on Xue Beng and Wu Tai. In this way, not only can the Avalanche organization be completely eliminated, blaming Wutai to cause hostility and gather public opinion in Midgar, but also the poor people in the Qifan Street slums can be cleared out openly. After all, these poor people are nothing in the eyes of the Shinra Company. A sewer rat of any value is not even qualified as a backdrop for urban decoration.

Claude and Alice were extremely angry and attacked Kuruneo angrily, but Kuruneo opened the door of the room and threw it into the sewer, where he raised a huge and powerful magical beast called "Abzu".

He expected to experience a brutal battle, but what Claude didn't expect was that during the battle, he discovered that Alice seemed to be using an unprecedented [power].

With that weird and powerful ability, Abzu was killed by two people.

When escaping from the sewer area, Claude asked Alice more than once what kind of ability she was using at that time, but she was always put off by Alice. Finally, when asked in a hurry, he said, "Ms. Heather won't let me." Say, go and ask him yourself'.

After finally leaving the sewer, the two found that the sewer exit was located among an abandoned train, which led to the opening scene.

The two were just about to move forward when a strange sound of children crying suddenly came to their ears.

Claude and Alice looked at each other, their expressions a little ugly.

The ghost legend of the train graveyard...is true! ?

PS: If I were to write about Claude and Alice’s experiences in detail, I wouldn’t be able to finish ten or twenty chapters, so let’s briefly summarize them.
