Mysterious Catastrophe

"This is the most difficult part of the ceremony...the key point is that I can't run yet!"

……

Pulmouth.

The steam train slowly entered the platform, and the flow of people poured down like a gray-black tide.

"Finally here, the capital of all capitals——Pulmouth!"

Aaron was wearing a top hat and a straight black tweed suit, pretending to be carrying an empty suitcase in his hand, and walked out of the train station with Bruce.

After walking out of the train station, you can see a huge square. Countless people are passing through the square, which is enough to make any countryman be at a loss for a long time watching this scene.

Not far away, there are tall reinforced concrete buildings, most of which are built with four or five floors. There are many tall buildings, spreading far away, and there is no end in sight.

"Is this Pulmouth?"

It was also the first time for Bruce to come to Pulmouth. Looking at the endless square and crowds, he moved his lips a few times, but couldn't think of any good words, so he could only say: "It's really...so big!"

"After all, with a permanent population of about 500 million, it is currently the largest city on the mainland..."

Aaron added in his mind: "It was only after the industrial revolution that we could see this scale." '

"what should we do?"

Bruce felt a little overwhelmed for the first time.

"Go to Mercury Street in Green George District first, and finish your teacher's entrustment. Let's go!"

Aaron pushed Bruce, and the two began to move, mingled with the bustling crowd, checked the ticket stubs at the station gate, and then officially walked out of the train station gate.

Aaron clearly felt a few scrutinizing gazes at the door, and immediately realized that it might be someone from the Investigation Bureau or the local police station, but he didn't care.

At this moment, his face has not been disguised yet, what he wants is to send a message to the mysterious world, that the pawn of the 'Eternal Life' has arrived in Pulmouth!

This means that the other party's attention is likely to be diverted!

At that time, more pursuit and investigation will follow and come to this city!

"I hope that the General Bureau of Investigation will be large enough, strong enough, and able to suppress it, so as not to cause some large-scale chaos... probably..."

The two walked out of the train station and got into a taxi.

Originally there was a subway, but Bruce felt dizzy when he saw the spider web-like route map, and insisted on taking the taxi that made him feel at ease.

After Aaron rolled his eyes, he let him go.

When the carriage slowly ran down the street, Bruce opened the window excitedly and looked at the scenery outside: "Haha... Aaron, let me tell you, I don't take the subway because I'm afraid of the dark or getting lost, I just don't want to miss the scenery on the ground... We will pass by the Parliament Building and the Mithra Palace where the king lives..."

Bruce's voice suddenly dropped.

Aaron looked through the car window and suddenly saw a huge square paved with white marble.

In the center of the square, there is also a huge platform surrounded by black iron railings. The platform seems to be built with Yuhua stone, and there are two guards standing beside it.

——That is the 'Marshal's Podium', the place where the famous Invensys commander and ever-victorious general - 'Eisen Napoleon' delivered his great speech.

At the same time, it is also the place that Clark has mentioned emphatically when he introduced "Historical Retrospect".

'Bruce should be touched by the scene, thinking of his teacher. '

Aaron glanced across the square and found that there were white pigeons rising and falling by the fountain, and there was a person feeding the pigeons with bread crumbs sitting on the bench next to it. It was indeed a good place for leisure.

'It's just two guards and a fence, which spoils the atmosphere... Are there too many crazy speakers?Hmm... Not only the Beyonders of 'Secret', many orators, as well as lunatics trying to incite the people, are proud to speak on this podium... Probably the city hall is unbearably disturbed...'

There was a sudden silence in the carriage.

After nearly an hour, the carriage stopped at the side of a block. The coachman jumped out of the carriage and took off his hat in greeting: "Gentlemen, we are here on Mercury Street in Green George District."

"Thank you."

Aaron settled the carriage fare and followed Bruce into the street.

This should be a commercial department store, full of formal clothing stores, bakeries, watch repair shops, mid-range restaurants... It doesn't have the chaos of a flea market, nor the elegance of a high-end place. It seems that the target customers should be mainly middle class .

"No. 7 Mercury Street?"

It didn't take long for Aaron and Bruce to arrive at the address given by Clark, and what appeared in front of them was a watch repair shop.

Through the window glass, you can see a table clock, a pocket watch, a hanging clock... Each has a unique shape and makes a different pendulum sound.

When the two of them entered the shop, it was just on the hour, and all the clocks were striking the hour.

On the top of one of the huge mahogany clocks, two small doors opened, and a metal bird was pushed out by a spring, making a high-pitched chirp.

After finally waiting for the hustle and bustle to pass, Bruce rubbed his ears, looked behind the counter, a young man who was busy on a work table, wearing a blue suspenders, and there were many greasy and filthy people on the surface, and asked softly: "May I come?" Mr. Cornelius, is he here?"

The busy young man raised his head, revealing his messy curly hair and confused eyes: "You came to see my teacher? What's the matter? The price of the clock is on the label..."

"It's like this. I'm a student of Mr. Clark Dass, and my teacher asked me to come to Mr. Erce."

Bruce replied.

"Then you wait a moment."

The young man scratched his greasy hair and ran into the small door at the back of the shop.

After a while, he came out and waved: "The teacher let you in!"

Aaron tossed a coin, nodded to Bruce, and the two followed the apprentice into the shop.

After walking down for a while, they found themselves in an even bigger studio. A shirtless, 40-year-old man with a bald head and half of his face covered with strange blue and black tattoos turned around. Showing a gentle smile, he raised a prosthetic hand that was half metal and half flesh to say hello: "Hi, I'm Cornelius Erth. As you can see, I'm a 'Druid'!"

Chapter 221 Mother Nature

"Very surprised?"

Looking at the two people who seemed to be full of stomachs and didn't know how to vomit, Cornelius smiled irresponsibly: "It doesn't matter... We have a lot of time, so we can chat slowly."

"Little Simon, go get three cups of coffee, and then go to the store."

He asked Aaron and Bruce to sit down in front of a metal table, and looked at Bruce: "You must be Bruce Field, right? Clark mentioned you many times in my letters... He is most worried about you, by the way , your teacher, is he okay?"

"My teacher..." Bruce said in a heavy voice, "he has passed away."

"Life will eventually return to nature, may the existence he believes in accept his soul..."

Cornelius made a ceremonial gesture.

"Mr. Erce, are you a 'Druid'? In the Eye of Gumen school, there is a 'Druid' inheritance?"

After Cornelius ended, Aaron asked curiously.

"You are...Aaron, right? Sure enough, you have a pair of beautiful purple eyes."

Cornelius smiled and shook his head: "No, I belong to a druid sect—the Ring of Oak! I didn't join Clark's sect!"

"Then why did my teacher ask me to come to you? And this!" Bruce took out the silver necklace of 'Eye of Gumon' from under his neck.

"I think..." Cornely took a sip of his coffee, and pondered: "Your teacher probably wants me to take you to the Holy Land of Druids, complete a 'retrospection of history' ceremony, and then introduce you into the 'Great Mongolian Land'." Eye' school... You know, the power contained in each hidden history has a limit, so the number of people in the ceremony must be strictly controlled. The secret history imprint in the Druid Holy Land belongs to your teacher's department. Now you His teacher passed away, so a spot was vacated, and he wants you to inherit this inheritance as soon as possible..."

'That is to say, if you don't inherit it as soon as possible, is there a possibility of being taken away?It seems that the struggle within the Clark school is quite fierce...'

Aaron was thinking: "As for the village of the lotus eaters, firstly, it is too dangerous, and secondly, only a few of us know about it, so we are not in a hurry... In fact, Clark probably doesn't want Bruce to follow his path again." , the essence of ghouls is too high, unless one's own "secret" path reaches the point where the fourth essence is opened, otherwise, I am afraid that there is a high possibility that it will be gradually affected...'

"I understand, I will work hard to complete the ceremony as soon as possible."

Bruce gripped the necklace tightly.

"Mr. Urs, you say you are a druid?"

Aaron looked at Cornelli's half-metal palm, and slandered in his heart: "It's not the 'Machine Mentor'? '

"Yes, but it's not very accurate, because 'Druid' is the name of the fourth essence of my school, and I am only the third essence now..."

Cornelius said with a smile: "In your impression, Druids should live in the woods, wear furs, and live like natives or even savages in South Indonesia?"

"It's me who is narrow-minded."

Aaron apologized.

"No, in fact, within our Druid sect, there is indeed such a group of fundamentalists. They are quite stubborn. They live in deep mountains and old forests, and even attack farmers who reclaim wasteland... But our 'ring of oaks' belongs to innovation. School, existence is nature, this huge city, countless reinforced concrete buildings, is also a jungle of steel! Metal and steam, gunpowder, electricity... and everything that exists in the world is a part of nature. Those primitive schools Their vision is too narrow, they cannot understand the true meaning of nature! The true meaning of nature lies in flesh and steel... Although we cannot create magical items, we are good at transforming ourselves, perfectly combining flesh and steel with gunpowder!"

Cornely showed his metal palm.

At this time, bloodshots spread on the palm of this hand, forming tools such as tweezers, scissors, hammer, file, etc., which brought Bruce and Aaron a feeling of wonder.

'Well, this is different from the 'Machine Mentor'. It doesn't completely transform the body into a machine, but the fusion of metal and flesh... Activated metal, liquid metal? '

Aaron's eyes lit up: "Steel druid?"It's full of steampunk style... Could it be transformed into a howitzer? '

"Of course, this difference does not mean that our two factions are mortal enemies. On the contrary, we believe in the same great existence. Although He is not Si Sui, he has a mighty power comparable to Si Sui! Tolerant of the elements of 'red' and 'chrysalis' ... It's just that this being has two faces, so sometimes he will issue contradictory oracles... This is also considered to be the root of the 'Druids' split."

Cornelius did not shy away from this. Instead, he generously introduced the two of them, making Aaron seem to see the bishops who were responsible for preaching and attracting people in the Church of the Holy Spirit.

"Bruce, of course you believe in the Keeper, what about Aaron? Do you have any faith?"

Cornely seemed to be in a frenzy.

This made Aaron have to wonder whether the crazy influence he gained after being promoted to the original quality could be—missionary fanaticism!

"I proclaim to the outside world that I believe in the Holy Spirit. Actually... because of my own path, I may choose those who have the nature of 'Yao' in the future..."

Aaron pretended to be very conflicted: "But I haven't had time to make a decision yet."

"Then please allow me to introduce you to the great existence I believe in - Mother Nature!"

The expression on Cornelli's face became even more fanatical: "He is the master of vitality, the protector of forests and animals, and the ruler of the steel jungle!"

"Well, it really is the hidden existence of 'red' and 'chrysalis'..."

To be honest, Aaron was still very curious about the hidden existence of this kind of bisexuality, so he didn't interrupt aloud, letting Cornelli continue.

'This is a brand-new content in the development of mysticism for thousands of years. What can be obtained and avoided by cultivating different sexuality? '

'And this road, can you really go through it and become Si Sui? '

'Mother of Nature is a hidden existence beyond the age of twelve... Is she one of the identities of my old friends, or is it something else? '

With many doubts, Aaron saw an awkward yet polite smile on Bruce's face, pretending to listen carefully to Cornely's teachings about 'Mother Nature'.

"Hmm... Sorry, I have always insisted on preaching, but I can't tell ordinary guests. Little Simon's head only has gears and bearings, which are not much worse than oak stakes... It took a long time for the two of you to be serious. He who listens to my preaching."

After half an hour of eloquent speeches, Cornelius seemed to recover a little bit of sobriety and apologized first.

"It's nothing, I also benefited a lot."

Aaron responded with a smile, and the sincerity in his tone moved Cornelius greatly: "Just preaching is not intuitive enough. I have a portrait of our Lord here. You can admire the greatness of our Lord..."

Cornelli took out an ancient secret biography from a drawer next to it, and the title was written in the spiritual language on the cover - "Secret Words of Nature".

He directly opened the secret biography and turned to the first page: "Don't worry, my lord is the god of tolerance and love, and this secret biography only records some Druid's introductory knowledge, and there is no particularly strong pollution. "

Aaron glanced over.

In the next moment, his pupils constricted, and it was difficult to control his expression. What was on it was...

Chapter 222

On the title page of "Secret Words of Nature" shown by Cornelius Erth, there is an illustration of a hidden existence.

Of course, the body of the hidden existence represents mystery, knowledge, and the authority and path it possesses. Any book that records the honorable name and specific image of the hidden existence must be the highest level of secret transmission, and it is also the highest level. Pollutants!

If a Extraordinary watched rashly, it would be similar to looking directly at the 'Child of Doom' in the small town of Yanan.

Knowing how powerful it was, Bruce turned his head directly, not daring to look at it.

That is to say, Aaron took a look because he was not afraid of this, and [Danger Prediction] did not warn in advance.

On the illustration on the title page, a goddess with plump and soft lines, surrounded by countless vines and iron thorns, with four arms and a human image is impressively depicted.

In the darkness of the forest around the goddess, there are also countless things that look like compound eyes of insects.

Although the portrait is full of mystery, the pollution and stimulation are indeed not too strong.

It seems that the author of the secret biography was unable to accurately describe the mystical image of the 'Mother of Nature', and could only personify the other party, thereby creating this work.

Even so, this portrait full of feminine beauty is enough to reveal a small part of the 'mother of nature', and it is a very good guide for druid apprentices who have just started.

But when Aaron glanced at the face of the 'Mother of Nature', he couldn't hide his shock.

Because this beautiful goddess with complex and gorgeous clothes, decorated with countless flowers and vines, has two faces!

Among them, the face on the left is innocent, somewhat similar to Lin!
