Chapter 110 Lotus Eater (Both Ordered 800 Plus More)

Woohoo!

The black-and-red steam train traverses an idyllic landscape, and plumes of snow-white smoke rise from giant chimneys.

Inside the first-class car.

Aaron, Clark, and Bruce occupied a small room, sitting opposite each other, with a small tea table in front of them.

Once the outside box door is closed, the inside becomes its own space with high privacy.

"Even so... the slowness and vibration of this kind of train cannot be avoided."

Aaron looked out the window and sighed inwardly.

After he thought about it, he agreed to Clark's request.

The history professor immediately asked for a vacation, and the three of them took a steam train together, preparing to go to the Tangiera Mountains.

At this time, the train seats are divided into first-class, second-class, and third-class. The first-class ticket is this kind of small box, and the second-class only has seats, which are stacked in rows.

But in general, it's better than the third class seat.

Especially in the car behind the mine furnace, if the windows were not tightly closed, a large amount of coal ash would flow in immediately, and many third-class passengers became black after getting off the train.

Aaron, with his cane set aside and newspaper in his hand, always felt in the aisle outside the window a female flight attendant pushing a cart full of candy would pass by at any moment.

Clark closed the curtains and threw another silver charm.

A layer of spiritual walls emerged, separating the inside and outside of the carriage.

"Okay, now we can talk about the destination."

Clark coughed and stuffed tobacco into his pipe: "The relic we are going to is an abandoned small mountain village in the Tangiera Mountains. According to my investigation, it has a history of more than 300 years. The birthplace of people's organizations."

"Lotus Eater?" Aaron inexplicably thought of the contents of the book "Sleepwalking": "It seems to be a spiritual world creature..."

"Yes, but someone came into contact with them in a dream, so in reality, there is a secret society that worships ghouls and believes in the 'corpse hider'..."

Clark sighed: "It is precisely because of this that those secret organizations and secret religious groups cannot always be wiped out, because the Bureau of Investigation cannot stop people from dreaming... Even ordinary people who don't know the 'Dream Key' spell, there are still people in sleepwalking. May come into contact with the dream world."

"The 'Skull Master' is the god in charge of February... Now it's August, so there should be no problem."

Aaron sighed and spoke, but his heart was secretly vigilant.

A secret organization is involved, a Si Sui is involved, and his divination may be misleading!

"Sure enough, I still can't trust the ability of divination too much..."

"Very good, it seems that your knowledge of the occult has grown again." Clark nodded with satisfaction, and took out the documents and stacks of manuscripts from the briefcase at hand: "I am investigating to find the 'Lotus Eater' It has been a long time since its birthplace, and the first breakthrough was in the notorious case of 'The Butcher in the Rainy Night', obtaining this letterhead!"

He pointed to the old letterhead at the top of the table and motioned Aaron to open it.

Beside him, Bruce was amazed: "The murderer who was active a hundred years ago and liked to kill girls on rainy nights? He caused a lot of sensation and panic back then..."

Aaron opened the letterhead and saw slightly scribbled writing on the yellowed letterhead:

[Respected teacher, I can't wait to share with you, I found a fresh lotus flower, it is so beautiful and swaying...]

【This reminds me of your teachings on the holy mountain, how to choose really fresh lotus flowers, how to peel off their tender petals and find delicious and juicy lotus seeds... 】

[I dream that one day I can return to the Holy Mountain, to Tangiera, to listen to your teachings...]

...

Looking at these words full of metaphors, Aaron, who deeply knew what the believers of "Red" were, couldn't help frowning.

"Cough cough... This is what I found two years ago from the remains of the 'The Butcher of the Rainy Night' after being hanged. It was hidden by a mysterious method... But as a 'secret historian', I have a pair of eyes that are good at finding secrets..."

Clark Das coughed, his face showing excitement: "Then, I have been tracking down the ancient stronghold of the Lotus Eater Organization, and hired many groups of archaeologists and Beyonders to go deep into Tangiera Mountain, and finally found it recently! "

"After the case that caused a sensation in the country that year, the Bureau of Investigation carried out a brutal attack and siege against the Lotus Eater organization, forcing them to abandon the original ancient stronghold. According to the later batches of Beyonders, it is relatively safe there. Of course, it is also safe. There is no extraordinary material and secret legacy left behind..."

'Hiding in a big city and sending people to explore ancient ruins is really your style! ’ Aaron sneered in his heart, and then said: “But, the ancient history contained in those ruins is still quite valuable?”

"exactly."

Clark Das nodded: "This is also to lay a good foundation for Bruce... You don't have to worry about the general beasts in the Tangiera Mountains. What I am worried about is that there may be ghosts and ghosts wandering in those places... And 'Yao' ' The Beyonder is always very good at purification."

"give it to me."

Aaron nodded.

...

After more than two hours, the three got off the steam train, hired another carriage, and came to the edge of the Tangiera Mountains.

"Let's go!"

Clark Das, who was dressed in a hunter suit and dressed very well, walked into the jungle first.

Aaron looked at Bruce who was carrying a large hiking bag, shook his head, and followed behind with a cane.

jiji!

Suddenly, from the tree canopy in front, a few colorful birds fell.

They landed on Clark Das's shoulders, chirped, and flew into the sky.

"I'm sure, there is no danger in the road ahead."

Clark Das seems to be a capable wilderness survival master, and his tone is full of confidence.

"Communication animals?"

Aaron took a few glances and suddenly spoke.

"Yes!"

Clark proudly said: "This is the ability of a 'Druid', a 'Druid' is also trained in 'Red' and 'Chrysalis', I once held a 'History Retrospective' ceremony in a Druid Holy Land, but it was a pity that At that time, my rank was too low, and I only acquired the abilities of 'Animal Affinity' and 'Beast Language'..."

"History back?" Bruce also asked curiously, "Teacher, what is that?"

"This is the core ability of our line of secret historians!" Clark glanced at Aaron: "But there are more people who know it, and even if they know it, they can't target it, so I can talk about it..."

He was obviously going to give a teaching on the 'secret' path, and he was not afraid of Aaron's audition.
