Chapter 704 Internal Combustion Locomotive
Beatrice thought so and walked off the airship with her head held high.
As soon as you get out of the airship, you will see the vast airport.
The ground of the airport is very flat, with many berths marked on the ground and many huge iron rings piercing the ground.
At this moment, several staff members passed the thick cable through the ring and connected the other end to the airship. After the cable was tightened, the airship was officially moored.
There weren't many more people around.
It wouldn't have been like this originally. At least all the banshees knew that a Miss Fountain was coming, and according to their personalities, there would definitely be a huge crowd.
But considering Beatrice's condition was too bad, they decided not to watch closely. After all, seeing so many banshees at once might make Beatrice faint.
Even Nini, who loves to join in the fun, didn't show up.
But even if I don't show up, I still have to come.
At this moment, there were many figures hiding in the dark around the empty airship.
"You're on my tail!"
"There's only so much space left, there's nothing I can do—"
"Then go away!"
"Stop talking, Beatrice is coming out!"
"Oh, it really came out! His Holiness the Pope, the Empress of the Empire, Castel's new fountain, and the legendary existence that can support three industrial zones by one person!"
"Why does it look so ordinary? With such a small body, can it really spray enough to cover three industrial zones?"
"Why aren't you spraying anymore? Can you let her perform? Let Monica persuade her!"
Beatrice set foot on Castel, and before she had time to feel the feeling of being on this island again, she felt a chill on her back.
"Huh? Yes, someone is watching me? Wait."
The [Investigator]'s abilities were very comprehensive, and he was not bad at all in terms of perception. Beatrice could feel the gazes locked on her.
After she realized she was being watched, she subconsciously activated her ability, trying to sense the gaze directed at her.
Then she shivered on the spot.
The eyes fixed on her were so dense that the last time she felt this way was when she was giving a speech on stage.
She now felt as if she were being flashed by a spotlight.
Beatrice broke out in a cold sweat and looked around with a stiff expression.
It was empty, with no one there except a few staff members.
Miss Pope gasped and began to wonder if there was something dirty on Castel.
"What's wrong?"
Zoe, who was behind her, saw her stop and asked in confusion.
"I, I feel like a lot of people are looking at me." Beatrice said with a grim expression.
Zoe blinked in confusion.
Zoe didn't know why, but Monica knew that now in the mind link, the banshee was live-streaming and spying on Beatrice while frantically flooding the chat, and the speed of the discussion had begun to reach the level of flooding the screen.
Monica's eye twitched.
"Stop peeking! She's already noticed!"
"What!? How is that possible? I learned my stealth from Nini!"
"That means you haven't learned anything."
"That's not true. Look, Nini even set up her camera!"
Monica clenched her fists in anger. "Get away from me! Beatrice's a patient! If she gets scared, something bad will happen!"
The banshees just wanted to join in the fun, so when they heard Monica say that, they all looked away.
At this moment, Beatrice was tremblingly telling Zoe what had happened.
"You can sense it, there are really a lot of people staring at me!"
Zoe nodded seriously and activated her perception.
And at this moment, Beatrice stiffened again.
She felt that all the eyes fixed on her disappeared in an instant.
That, that’s hundreds of gazes!
Beatrice was suddenly horrified. Being stared at could be considered as someone secretly watching her, but hundreds of gazes disappeared in an instant, which was too terrifying.
Hundreds of people are arranged in an orderly manner as if they were one person.
Zoe sensed for a long time and found that no one was staring at this place. She looked at Beatrice with some confusion.
She is a [Nymph], and her best skills are perception and concealment. She is even stronger than Beatrice, the [Investigator]. There is no reason why Beatrice can sense it but she can't.
"I just did that..." Beatrice didn't know how to start and was about to cry.
Gaia was behind them, vaguely guessing the reason, and glanced back at Monica.
Monica was so angry that she cursed in the group, and the other banshees didn't dare to speak.
Gaia sighed, "It's okay, Beatrice, don't be afraid. This is Castel. Lord Hughes is here. Nothing can hurt you."
Beatrice was stunned for a moment and nodded. She didn't know why, but when she heard the word "Lord Hughes", she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
As if this name could really protect me.
"Yes, let's take a car!" Zoe also remembered that Beatrice was still injured, and hurriedly persuaded her.
After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and added nervously, "We're going to take a car later, so don't be afraid."
When Beatrice heard her say this, she knew that they would definitely not be riding in a carriage.
But do they really think they have only ever ridden in a carriage?
When Beatrice was a child, there were already horse-drawn trams and even steam trains running across the Rhine.
She had ridden in that big thing before. Because the steam engine was too big, extremely noisy, and vibrated violently, the riding experience was a disaster. She just rode it for the novelty.
It seems that Castel has been put into daily use, so it should have been miniaturized, right?
And besides that, Beatrice had also seen Castel's steam locomotive.
When Ignatius broke the storm, she saw the steam locomotive with her own eyes and even stayed on it for a while.
Her condition was even worse than it is now, so she just had a simple experience and didn't get to ride it properly. She felt a little regretful.
It seems that this wish can now be fulfilled.
"Don't worry." Beatrice said with a smile, "I won't be afraid."
After saying that, she lowered her head to look for the railroad tracks.
Look around, no.
If you look further ahead, there is nothing either.
Gazing far away, I finally saw a freight train at the harbor a little further away, but it was too far away from here.
You have to know that the airport is where airships dock, and even the Sky Curtain Behemoth has berths. It is extremely empty, and you will probably be exhausted if you only rely on your two legs.
Soon, Beatrice noticed a somewhat strange car driving over.
It is a bit like a horse-drawn carriage, but without a horse and naturally without reins. The driver controls the direction through a rotating disc, which looks a bit funny.
Beatrice nodded, not feeling surprised. It looked like a miniaturized steam locomotive.
She had seen this thing before.
"This is a new type of diesel locomotive. It can run without a steam engine."
I see. Beatrice nodded. She probably guessed what the fuel was.
“Is this burning pollution?”
"No, this one burns nitroglycerin."
