Chapter 738: Xius’s New Mount
"Of course!"
Little Gwen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zeus did not dislike the hideous appearance of the bone beast, and quickly commanded the bone beast.
The giant white-bone beast slowly raised its head, and Xius couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
“That’s awesome.”
Such a huge existence is comparable to the Sky Curtain Behemoth. If it could appear on the battlefield, it would definitely be very deterrent.
The white bones are as crystal clear as jade, without a speck of dust. It has six legs, and the thick bone plates on its body are like armor.
The more Xiu Si looked at it, the more he liked it.
No, we have to find a way to get it to Castel.
"So you've already taken control of the entire Forgotten Temple?"
"Not really." Little Gwen sat on the forehead of the giant bone beast, swinging her legs in the air.
"I don't know why, but the closer I get to the core of the Forgotten Temple, the slower my progress becomes. The vast majority of knowledge is contained within."
"But my control over this period of time has also taught me a lot. For example, I know that it is Lina who is hindering me."
"Lina? That [Named Person]? Aren't both of you [Named Persons]? How did the conflict arise?"
"How should I know! I was staying here peacefully, and she suddenly came over and scolded me for not saving the great sage Bruno—God, he must have been dead for hundreds of years! I wasn't even born then!"
Little Gwen complained a little irritably.
"Great Sage Bruno, how much do you know about him now?"
"There's no information at all. It's very strange. The Forgotten Temple is clearly a place where knowledge is stored. It has all kinds of information, but there's nothing related to him."
Hughes nodded.
He suddenly thought of Beatrice. It was said that the great sage Bruno had a very profound relationship with the Mechanical Society. As the Pope of the Mechanical Temple, Beatrice might know something.
Go back and ask her.
"Next time you see Lina, try to show some kindness and see if you can exchange some information. Is there anything you need? I can have someone send it to you."
The railway capacity in the north is no longer what it used to be. Since the double-track was opened, there is no longer the need for such laborious back-and-forth dispatching.
As the situation around the railway stabilized, the armored locomotives were gradually replaced with freight locomotives, which could carry more cargo. Only two machine gun positions were retained on the roof to deal with emergencies. If there was real danger, nearby stations could quickly dispatch armored locomotives for support.
In short, Castel now has enough transportation capacity, and even if little Gwen wants to pollute, she can use a tanker to load some for her.
"I want fried fish."
"No problem, isn't it just fried, uh, fried fish?"
"Yes, fried fish. Betty's fried fish. I haven't had it for a long time. Can you ask her to come over and fry it for me?"
Do you have to fry it fresh?
Xiu Si rubbed his brows with a headache. "Can't you go back now? Bettys has opened a fried fish shop now. I can only ask someone to bring some to you. She probably has no intention of opening a branch in the north for the time being."
"That's okay too."
"You didn't choose the right place. Is there a sea nearby?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Take me there." Xius tried to walk, but his lower body was frozen and he couldn't move at all.
Zeus's eyes suddenly darkened, and then he was in the air. The giant bone beast picked him up and placed him on top of its head.
Little Gwen sat next to him and pointed forward: "Let's go to the sea!"
Bang!
The giant bone beast took a step forward with its thick legs, stepping on the tundra and leaving huge footprints.
Zeus and little Gwen were just above its head, swaying slowly forward.
There was a thin layer of mist on the tundra, and the giant white-skeletal beasts shuttled through it, as if walking in a sea of clouds.
The sun shines down, bringing with it a sense of winter alienation, and the vast tundra seems to have no end.
A faint whistle sounded.
In the distance, the thin railway line was almost invisible. A train passed by, and the chimney on the front of the train drew a thin line, which was soon blurred in the mist.
"You're so close to the railway, aren't you afraid they'll find you?"
Little Gwen shook her head, her short white hair falling on her cheeks.
"It's not that I'm close to them, but the railway is close to me. There was no railway when I was here. Your people built the railway too quickly, and it's everywhere. Now I have a hard time finding a place to hide."
"This is just the beginning. In the future, railways will cover the entire earth, airships will streak across the sky, and even in the distant sky, where the stars reside, we will have our footprints."
"Stars! Wow."
Little Gwen sighed.
It was really hard for her to imagine such a world. She was just a little girl, but fate made her endure too much.
"Aren't stars supposed to be the abode of the gods? If we go there, where will the gods go?"
"Don't worry, when the time comes, we will designate protected areas for them and enact laws to guarantee their space for activities. All living things in this world have the right to survive."
"Of course, that's assuming these gods haven't done any harm to the world. Castel will settle everything."
Hughes looked at the endless vast tundra with a firm gaze.
There is probably something wrong with this world, and he will change everything. This is the purpose of his coming here.
"Will the North also change?"
"The North has changed. You haven't been outside to see it. There are not only railways built outside, but also schools and factories. One day in the future, the North will no longer be a desolate place."
Little Gwen stared at the tundra in front of him in a trance.
She wandered for a long time before arriving in Castel, and if it weren't for the help of her friends, she would have died many times.
Perhaps in the future, there will be no need to wander in the North, and everyone can live a good life and enjoy life with friends.
Little Gwen suddenly found that she couldn't imagine those beautiful pictures.
"If you can't imagine the future, then just use your own eyes to see it." Xius said softly.
Little Gwen nodded.
The top of the skeleton swayed, basking in the warm sunshine. She just felt that it would be nice if time could stop at this moment.
"Is that the sea over there?"
Gwen finally came to her senses, looked in the direction Zeus was pointing, and nodded in response: "Yes, this is the sea, but it's quite far from your original location. Your place is too remote."
Zeus did not answer. He looked at the calm sea in the distance and suddenly closed his eyes.
He had a vague feeling that the sea seemed to have some inexplicable connection with him.
A certain inexplicable power gathered in my heart, then gradually grew higher and higher, surging in my chest.
Following his intuition, he stretched out his hand and slowly raised it towards the distant sea.
