Chapter 370: Hyperion Appears
At night, north of the imperial capital Helrom.
The magic rail train just came out of the trembling dark gray rock tunnel, passed through the winding mountains, and entered the endless, symmetrical and quiet ancient forest.
The silhouette of the mountain top was accompanied by occasional flickering lights, and the Helrom National Forest Park and the lake outside the fortress city-state seemed deeper in the whistling sound of the train.
The outline of Helrom in the distance gradually became clear, and the lights of the city-state were lit one by one, dotted the sky, as if responding to the stars in the dark curtain.
In the carriage, the clock hand just passed seven o'clock, and the pale yellow light jumped on the solid wood decoration. The passengers were either sitting quietly or talking, and the noise and silence were intertwined. The train attendants were busy patrolling between the carriages, responding to the various requests of the passengers in an orderly manner. After each service, they continued their pace with a professional smile.
Hyperion sat by the window, her face reflecting quietly as she looked out the window, red hair accessories dotted her dark hair, which fell diagonally on her shoulders.
Michela, who was sitting opposite, had already changed into the uniform of the Royal School of Magic of Protoss, and her ears had some barely detectable demonic features.
From time to time, the rustling sound of Michela turning pages could be heard between the two of them. They kept their own silence before they were about to reach their destination, Helrom.
Outside, the scenery flashed by, and occasionally the light of Helrom could be seen more clearly.
The sound of the pages closing broke the silence, and Michela put the book into her handbag. Although she had not finished reading the book "Holy War Romance" borrowed from her sister, she decided not to indulge in it anymore and wait until she returned to school to read it.
"Sister, don't worry. The imperial capital of Helrom is not that dangerous. The Resurrection Church cannot be as rampant as the northern branch of Silence. At least we won't meet anyone from the Resurrection Church in school."
Michela seemed to notice some worry in Hyperion's expression, so she comforted her.
She felt that her sister might still be uneasy because of her previous experience in the Box Mountain Province.
Most of the time, Hyperion looked calm. Only when she was with Michela, she relaxed a little and revealed her true feelings.
"Michela... I understand, thank you."
Hyperion looked at Michela because of Michela's words, was slightly stunned, and then thanked her.
Although she had a brief thrilling experience at the checkpoint of the Box Mountain Province, the journey from the north of the empire to the central part of the empire was unexpectedly peaceful for more than a day.
Staying in this comfortable space, she was indeed easy to naturally stop being so nervous in front of close people.
However, Michela did not know the mission she was carrying out, and the hellish mission she would face after arriving in the imperial capital of Helrom.
Whenever she thought about sneaking into the isolated prison in this strange city, or even going deep into the dark depths that could block the eighth-level demon clan, she would still be afraid.
But no one could tell her, so she could only hide this secret work in her heart.
"How is it? Do you still like this book?"
Huparian noticed that Michela began to prepare for the train to arrive, and asked with a smile.
The book that Michela had just put away was a book that the Ice Witch lent to Hyperion to entertain herself when she was bored on the road, and later she lent it to Michela to read.
This was originally a book that had been passed down in the Protos Empire, and it would not arouse suspicion in the Protos territory. The most important thing was that the Ice Witch sealed [The Poet of Great Love] as a bookmark so that it could be hidden in this book to pass the security check.
"Very interesting. I don't want to read anything else now, I just want to read the hysteria of the loser."
Michela folded her arms seriously and commented.
Although this is a novel with the holy war era as the historical background, and the story and characters are completely fictitious, there are three distinctive heroines in the book, one of whom is the most wife-like aura, another is the most wife-like aura, and another is the most loser-like aura.
"Are you talking about the girl who is either eating or holding food in her hands every time she appears?"
Huprienne asked confusedly. This book, which was just published by the Imperial Royal Magic Academy Press at the beginning of this year, only has the first part, and it is hard to say who will be the winner in the end.
"That's her."
Michela nodded.
"I think she is very cute."
Huprienne felt that if she were a boy, she would definitely like the heroine the most.
"I think the cutest heroine is the younger one. If life is a journey, she feels despair and loneliness, but can dispel these emotions. She behaves elegantly and keeps her promises. She has a beauty that deserves to be held in the palm of your hand."
Michelle said to Hyperion with a girlish heart.
When the two of them discussed topics related to the book, the short waiting time seemed to speed up, and even the minute hand of the clock turned twice without noticing.
With a slight tremor, the train began to slow down, and the stars and lights outside the window gradually reduced the speed of passing, and the quiet night was replaced by the lights of the approaching Helrom platform.
The low hum between the wheels and the rails that lasted all night gradually faded, announcing that the end of the journey had arrived.
Michelle and Hyperion both raised their heads from the world of books, and the topic stopped. They looked through the windows of the carriage and looked at the outside world.
On the approaching platform, the hurried people gradually became clearer, and the sound of passengers walking outside the compartment came one after another.
"Sister, let's go to the commercial district to buy some things later, and then go back to school."
Michelle looked out the window, then looked at Hyperion and said, she always felt that her sister's mood could not be completely relaxed after leaving home,
"If we don't take advantage of the weekend to go out of school, we won't be able to go out for several days on Monday."
If possible, Michelle obviously didn't want to stay in the Protoss Royal School of Magic for a minute.
The luggage that was previously checked in at the station, the Protoss Royal School has a docking service, which will be delivered directly to their residence.
As noble students, the two of them, Earl Milford, handled the check-in procedures for them in the single-family house in the residential area on the north side of the school.
After getting off the train, they had almost no luggage with them. If they walked south from the station, they could reach the Protoss Royal School of Magic in more than ten minutes. If they walked north, they would arrive at a very prosperous commercial district in the southern part of the Helrom city-state. There were not only many famous shops in Helrom, but also a lot of lively things to see.
