Duke of Grief

The steam locomotive was galloping across the wilderness. The lion king who had been on the northern front looked out the window with his arms, and the two little guys squeezed their bodies opposite him restlessly.

When the novelty passed, they no longer liked it. In fact, they were also the only two children on the train. The rest of the little ones had followed their parents back to the warm and safe home. Not in this boring car.

Under the steam locomotive, there was a roar of wheels rubbing against the rails, and the whistle sounded a sharp whistle from time to time, which made it difficult for them to get a good night's sleep.

But Marshal Wendes did not comfort his grandson and granddaughter kindly, because this was their own choice. After Gregorian said that, there were two of them who were not very enthusiastic, Marshal Wendes respects their opinions, and this is their own choice.

No matter how they cried, he couldn't negotiate with Gregory the car.

In addition to the three of them, some nobles were scattered in the carriage. They looked very uneasy, and few people showed eagerness.

Because none of them wanted to register themselves-apart from the very few adventurous nobles, most of the nobles present were not self-registered.

They looked like they were pushed out by the people behind them and were given the task of ‘actual observation’, as can be seen from the frustrated expression on their faces.

Due to the small number of people signing up, many people still have a mistrust of facing the steel giant and their fear of being undetectable even by themselves, and some people resign with a lot of affairs. Anyway, this time only It is equipped with three carriages, all of which are'passenger carriages'.

In addition to these three carriages, there are also two coal-loaded carriages at the front, because this giant beast is not only fast, but also has a large coal load.

But in comparison, Marshal Wendez believes that the cost performance of this thing is high enough. Whether it is to mobilize the army or deliver materials, steam locomotives are a good choice.

Although according to his knowledge, it took a year and a half to build the railway, but if there is no obstruction from the nobles, it will be completed in about a year.

The initial investment is huge, but the income is also huge, which is really a good thing!

Thinking of this, Marshal Wendes closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair to close his eyes and relax.

Although the steam locomotive is very annoying, when he fell asleep on the battlefield, the surrounding environment was much noisier than here. Now he is a bit older, but the quality of sleep is still good.

"Grandfather, grandfather!"

The old marshal did not rest for long, and his grandson woke him up.

Suddenly opened his eyes, Marshal Wendes looked at his grandson for a long while before he realized that he was not on the battlefield now.

"What's wrong, Varian?" Marshal Wendes smiled softly, stroking his grandson's head.

"Bug! A big bug!"

The old marshal saw his grandson open his arms and made an exaggerated gesture about the size of the bug he had just seen.

"It's so big!" Varian lowered his head and gestured, but when he looked up, he saw the smile on his grandfather's face. He was a little angry and his eyebrows were raised. "Grandfather, what I said is true! I don't believe you asked Jenny. , She saw it too!"

Hearing the words, the smile on the old marshal's face faded, and he looked at his granddaughter suspiciously, and found that she was clutching her skirt nervously, her lips tightened, and nodded at him.

"Really?"

Marshal Wendes asked incredulously, raising his hand and making a gesture, "So big?"

His grandson pulled his hands to the sides and reached a limit before he seriously said, "So big!"

The old man took a breath and looked out at the endless mountain forest outside the window.

The trees on both sides blocked his sight, he did not know where he was now, but it was only a few hours before they left the Imperial Capital...

Will there be such a big bug in the area around the Imperial City?

Marshal Wendes frowned, confirming again: "You did not lie, nor did you exaggerate the facts, right?"

"Yes!" He got two identical answers.

After looking at his grandchildren, Marshal Wendez stooped and stood up, then turned around and told the two of them: "You two are not allowed to run around, I will go back when I go."

Marshal Wendes, who suddenly stood up, attracted the attention of many people. People watched him slowly walk towards the last carriage, not knowing what happened.

But sitting in the belly of this steel monster, they felt it was best to sit quietly instead of walking around.

Explained the reason to the crew member sitting next to the door of the carriage. The crew member opened the door to the old marshal. The wind and roar outside the car suddenly passed into the carriage, causing people to look back.

Ignoring the riots behind him, Marshal Wendes, who looked stern, straddled the junction of the two cars, took out the key, opened the door opposite, and walked in.

At this time, the train crew closed the door of the carriage, closing all the noise.

"Sir Marshal?"

The moment the door in front of him was opened, Gregory opened his eyes, and when he saw the old marshal coming out of the door, he got up in surprise.

The oldest marshal was the highest-ranking person on the train. He did not listen to his children's dissuasion and insisted on riding on the locomotive to go north. This made Gregory feel a lot of pressure, but at the same time, his presence also made the steam locomotive unfavorable. Rumors and railroad constructions were strangled in the budding stage.

"Gregory boy, I came here to ask you a question."

After seeing Gregory nodding, the old marshal pointed to his feet, and then said, "Is this locomotive five hundred miles away from the Imperial Capital?"

I don’t know why the old Marshal suddenly asked this question, but looking at the serious look on his face, Gregory thought for a moment and shook his head. "No! Marshal Wendez, what happened?"

Marshal Wendes said in a deep voice: “Varian and Jenny—that is, my grandchildren, they said they saw a big bug!”

"insect?!"

As soon as the old marshal's voice fell, a crew member on the side shouted in horror.

Gregory looked puzzled, "You saw it too?"

"No, I didn't..." The crew member shook his head and then hurriedly explained, "But Dick saw it, he is now in the Imperial City, but he saw it on the way back, but he thought it was his dazzling The speed of the locomotive is so fast, how could he see clearly what is out of the window? Later he told us about this, so I remembered it!"

Not alone!

After hearing the words of the members of the car group, Gregory and the old marshal immediately raised their vigilance.

This is not a case that is the most doubtful. One is from the manufacturing department or the research and development department. The other is the grandson and granddaughter of the old marshal. There is no direct connection between the two.

But they all saw it-they all saw a big bug, and probably not the same!

This is very doubtful...

Gregory thought for a moment~www.NovelMTL.com~ sighed, "When the next town passes by for supply, I will let the mage of the team send a message to the emperor to let people investigate. Now it can only be This way, the car is moving too fast and we can’t open the window."

After finishing speaking, Gregory pondered for a moment, "...So, Marshal, you and I will go to the second carriage with you. You are standing by for a while, we will observe again while on the road, and see if we can see if there is What about the appearance of the'big bug'."

The old marshal nodded, "Okay."

Gregory couldn't help but sigh.

The empire has been plagued by disasters recently. Today, the drought has not been resolved. The plague is still raging on this land. Nowadays, there are ‘big bugs’ who do not know what is happening near the imperial capital.

This autumn can really be called "Autumn Autumn"! (https:)
