Chapter 715 Legendary Visitor
"We're here." Zoe pointed to a nearby room. "This is the lord's office. We're going to..."
"Wait a minute!" Beatrice suddenly spoke, and the two were stunned.
"Do I, do I look very embarrassed now?" Beatrice was visibly panicked. It seemed that she only then noticed that her appearance did not seem very decent.
Generally speaking, no matter who it was, it would be difficult to maintain their composure after getting off the airship and then racing, then catapulting across most of Castel, falling into the sea, and then engaging in a chase.
In other words, Beatrice is a superhuman. If she were an ordinary person, she would probably catch a cold if she climbed out of the sea without changing her clothes.
Zoe and Gaia also planned to let her come to meet Xius first and then settle her down.
It was mainly because of her schedule after coming to Castel that made them feel a sense of urgency, as if they would never see each other again if they didn't hurry up.
There's no way around it, Beatrice is definitely a legendary visitor now.
Miss Pope was also frightened all the way, and only when she reached the door did she remember that she was going to meet Hughes.
Her feelings about Hughes were very complicated.
When they first met, they were just admirers. After they got to know each other for a while and talked a lot, she always felt that the other person had a lot of wonderful ideas. She listened quietly on the side, not understanding much, but also happy.
Later I returned to Rhineland, experienced a lot of things, and grew a lot. Occasionally I recalled many things I had said in Hughes, and suddenly I understood their true meaning.
She knew that Zeus wanted the technology of the Mechanical Temple, so she collected a lot of it and picked out the practical ones to send to him.
Perhaps she wanted to make up for it. She always felt that Hughes had taught her a lot, but she had never helped him.
He once wanted her to sell soap, but in fact, most of those small squares of delicious smell were secretly hidden by her and she was reluctant to take them out.
Whenever she smelled the fragrance of soap, she would always think back to her days in Castel, which was the happiest time of her life in the past ten years.
Beatrice was very happy to be here.
But along the way, she saw too many of Castel's creations, whether it was the airship, the train that spanned half the continent, the steam engine that had a bad temper but a good heart, or the huge factories and buildings, all of which spoke of the greatness of this city.
Castel, this is the real city of miracles, where humans, in mortal form, stand shoulder to shoulder with gods.
And she, a dying extraordinary being, seemed a little redundant.
Beatrice brought a lot of technology and information. She was very proud of it and felt that these things could help Count Hughes. She felt warm in her heart when she thought of it.
She would imagine how happy Xiu Si would be when he saw the information, and imagined that such a scene would make her happy for a long time.
but.
Beatrice stood at the door of the office, clutching the hem of her skirt tightly.
The glimpse she had just taken from the stellar furnace and the various things she saw when she flew over Castel made her heart tighten.
Can she really help? Is this information really useful to Castel?
Uneasy, anxious, and hesitant, mixed with an inferiority complex that she herself was not aware of, turned into shackles of cowardice, trapping her where she was. The office door was right in front of her, but she no longer had the courage to push it open.
How about coming back at another time?
She looks so miserable now, and not in a good condition. She should go back and prepare before coming back.
Click.
While Beatrice was daydreaming, the door in front of her was suddenly pushed open. Caught off guard, she and Zeus met eyes.
Xius is actually quite nervous now.
This is his office, and the banshee will report any movements of the people at the door at any time.
Hearing that Beatrice had been standing at the door for a long time without moving, he became a little panicked.
Could this legendary visitor be doing something legendary again?
It wasn't that he was speculating maliciously, it was just that Beatrice really scared him.
Wherever this Miss Pope goes, there will be trouble. I heard that she even encountered a tornado that destroyed the railway line on the way.
Rumor has it that the [Investigator] has an invisible flaw, which is bad luck. Hughes didn't quite believe it at first.
I didn’t expect Miss Pope to speak out directly.
So it's no wonder that Hughes was nervous. Seeing Beatrice motionless, he was really worried that she would die at the door of his office.
So Hughes opened the door and saw Beatrice. Why did she look so dazed and stupid?
Xiusi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Then, Miss Beatrice's face turned red quickly, which was visibly visible to the naked eye.
Oh no, it looks like something really happened! Hughes's eyes twitched, and he remembered the Pope's nickname of Fountain. He quickly supported her arm, patted her back, and said in a gentle tone:
"It's okay, just vomit if you want to."
Beatrice: “???”
Beatrice's face turned even redder, but Xiusi felt something was wrong. Why did he feel that the person opposite him was redder?
So he quickly defended himself: "Don't worry, the pollution won't hurt me, you can spit it out without worry."
Beatrice's eyes twitched, and she forced a polite smile and refused, then walked into the house and sat at the desk.
She sat down without saying a word, sulking and feeling sulky.
Seeing that she had recovered, Xius breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his seat.
He still had a lot to ask Miss Pope.
Of course, the most urgent one is
"Ms. Beatrice, how are you doing now?"
Beatrice was stunned when she heard this question. She had not paid much attention to her condition since she was frightened by the evil god in the stellar furnace.
But she no longer felt like vomiting, so she subconsciously ignored it.
"It seems... not bad? My body is in extremely bad condition right now, but it's not showing any signs of getting worse."
"Is it gradually getting better?"
"That's not the case. It just hasn't gotten worse. To be more precise, the pollution in my body doesn't seem to be as active anymore."
Beatrice felt the changes in her body and was confused for a moment.
These pollutants had been running rampant before. Relying on the fact that they were in her body, she had no way to deal with them and they were causing trouble everywhere.
At that time, Beatrice felt that there were countless bugs living in her body, each with its own ideas, making a mess of her body.
Later, with the help of the steam engine, things got much better. At least the corrosive power of the pollution was much weaker. I felt an inexplicable sense of security when lying in the furnace of the steam engine.
And now.
"The pollution is completely silent, as if it's afraid of something."
