Chapter 699 I didn’t see the Sky Curtain Beast either
Beatrice didn't have to wait too long, as the sea below soon became lively.
Various ships appeared in her sight.
The big ones are cargo ships, which are like floating mountains, heavy, peaceful, slowly but firmly crossing the sea.
There are many smaller ones, and various types of ships are dragging out long white lines on the sea.
"Look at that! The Black Pearl! Captain Jeremiah is racing again."
"Where, where?"
"It's the one down there with the three chimneys."
"Is that the Black Pearl?!"
"Yes, you can't recognize it, right? Jeremiah recently remodeled it. Now the Black Pearl is the fastest ship in all of Castel, except for the Charge Coffin!"
"That's pretty fast."
Gaia and Zoe also came to the window and started whispering.
Beatrice looked at the sea below, a little lost in thought.
What had it been like in Castel the last time she had been here?
At that time, she was riding on the church's ship, a classic medium-sized sailing ship produced in Blood Harbor. It had been sailing on the sea for more than ten years. Although it was a bit old, it was considered quite good in the empire.
The Queen wanted to build a navy, so she took over almost every mobile ship. It was only because Candlelight had some power that she kept this one.
Many of the wooden boards on the deck of the ship were rotten, and they made a squeaking sound when you stepped on them. You had to lift your skirt to walk across.
Add to that the rats running around in the cabin and the strange-smelling wine, and that all mixed together formed her entire impression of the sea.
Poor, dirty, old and disorderly.
Beatrice looked down at the ships below. Their decks didn't look like they were made of wood at all.
In fact, they were more like works of art, intricately carved metal ornaments, and she had quite a few of them on her desk in the Vatican.
These things are all exquisite and beautiful, but they should only appear on the table, but now there are so many of them in front of her.
Beatrice is an extraordinary person. She can see every detail of the ships below. Whether they are huge steel behemoths or light speedboats, they all have a sense of beauty.
Neat and tight, it's a sense of order and power that's hard to describe directly, but you can feel it just by looking at them.
Beatrice stroked the edge of her clothes with her fingers. She had vaguely encountered this feeling in the remaining industrial area of the Rhine and in the old holy relics of the Mechanical Temple.
Unfortunately, most of them are just ruins, with only a bit of charm left, and are far less impactful than solid steel.
Beatrice looked at the ship below and thought she could hear the loud whistle of the steam engine across the deck.
"Ah, Castel's here!"
Zoe patted Gaia's shoulder happily, turned around and saw Beatrice's dazed look, smiled and stretched out her hand to her.
"Come and see, the Skyshroud Behemoth just took off. You don't see this every day!"
Beatrice was pulled and staggered two steps. When she raised her head to look at the porthole, the island in the distance suddenly appeared before her eyes.
Castel was still far away, and only a vague outline could be seen, an island under a dark cloud.
The waves surged, and the first thing Beatrice saw was a towering volcano.
She still remembered the volcano. It was the first thing she saw when she arrived in Castel. At that time, she was worried that it would suddenly erupt. You know, [Investigators] never have good luck.
A wistful smile played on Beatrice's lips.
But the next second, her smile froze on her face.
Castel, when did the second volcano appear?
Beatrice looked at Gaia and Zoe in confusion. Both of them looked as if it was a matter of course, which made her not know where to start.
Could it be that she remembered it wrongly and there are two volcanoes in Castel?
Rubbing her eyes, Miss Pope looked at the shadowy island in the distance again.
On the left is a volcano.
The one on the right is.
Oh, I was indeed seeing things. Looking closely, the "mountain" was square, and its height was actually much lower than a volcano. It was just a building.
Beatrice breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in the steam engine.
After a moment, she jumped up: "No!"
when!
A crisp sound was heard, and Gaia and Zoe were startled. They turned around and saw Beatrice covering her head with her hands, tears about to fall.
She bumped into the steam engine.
"Uh, what is that?"
Although Beatrice's eyes were filled with tears, she still pointed to the distant island with a trembling hand.
"A volcano."
Beatrice's fingers moved. "What about that?"
"The church."
Beatrice was stunned for a moment, forgetting the pain. Her eyes widened. "Don't lie to me, I've been to the island! That church was so small, how could it be this?"
Beatrice had indeed seen the church on the island. At that time, the nun in the church was still Chloe, and she would show a cunning smile after receiving funding from Leo.
I heard that the nun died later, but I didn't expect that was the last time I saw her.
Wait, that's not right. The nun is fine, there's something wrong with that church!
"Don't I know what the Candlelight Society's church looks like? That church definitely doesn't belong to the Candlelight Society!" Beatrice said, then stared fiercely at the silhouette of the church in the distance, trying to find evidence that it was different from the Candlelight Society.
They are indeed completely different. The church of the Candlelight Society has a Gothic spire, while the one in Castel
Beatrice rubbed her eyes. Did she see the Gatling gun on top of that church?
Whose church has a machine gun on top?
And if you look closely, there are not just one or two, the church is almost like a hedgehog
For a moment, Beatrice was a little confused. She suddenly felt that she understood neither Castel nor the church.
It took her a while to realize that the Empire and the Principality of Tis had been at loggerheads for so long, so how could the Candlelight Society still have power here? Given Castel's industrial level, it would definitely look down on that small church.
It is probably newly built.
It's just this newly built church.
Beatrice's eye twitched.
She suddenly had a bad feeling. Perhaps Castel was a little different from the one she remembered.
"By the way, where is the Sky Curtain Beast?"
Beatrice knew that the Skyshroud Beast was a giant airship; Zoe had told her about it many times.
Listening to Zoe's description of how it covered the sky, Beatrice honestly found it hard to imagine.
Thinking of this, she looked at Castel with some anticipation, but after searching carefully for a long time, she still did not see the airship.
Beatrice was somewhat disappointed. This place wasn't too far from Castel. If it couldn't be seen from here, then it probably wasn't that big either.
Yes, her previous expectations were just wishful thinking.
Zoe heard her and stretched out her finger.
Beatrice looked up, but there was some confusion in her eyes.
Zoe pointed to the dark cloud covering Caster.
