Chapter 1751
Adrian's words left Rozi deep in thought. She contemplated and digested the information he had just shared. After some rest and food, Adrian recovered his strength, and Nadine massaged his shoulders. Marissa sat down with her back leaning against the wall, lost in her own thoughts.After some time, Rozi asked, "So where’s this eagle, and how is Marissa supposed to merge with it? Did the drawings provide any clues?"Adrian explained, "Wonder hid the information as he feared others with ill intentions might find out and use it for nefarious purposes. Only the chosen ones can uncover the mystery. Hannibal searched for it but failed."Nadine smiled. "Well, at least we now know about the eagle. That's progress."Rozi asked, "Based on everything you know, where do you think this eagle might be located?"Adrian thought about it for a moment and said, "I think Enigma City and Partingia are somehow connected to Wonder's plans. History seems to be overlapping in unexpected ways." He then he

Rozi replied, "My kingdom worshiped the eagle. You’ll see pictures of it throughout the city. The eagle was a sacred creature to us, and every year, my father would perform rituals to honor it.”Adrian contemplated for a moment, then said, "In that case, my deduction should be correct. The eagle artifact should be in Mount Shangspar.""The areas around Partingia went through a catastrophic change when it suddenly disappeared in the past, so I think the kingdom remains frozen beneath the snowy mountains. In other words, the artifact is still there," Nadine said.All of the information seemed to be pointing back to Partingia, and one thing became abundantly clear to Rozi—she needed to go home and find answers. After she calmed down, Rozi asked, "So, when are we going to Mount Shangspar? I'd like to return and take a look at my old home."Adrian shook his head. "The eagle artifact and the eye gems are only part of the key. They won't be enough to defeat him. Wonder split the key int
Chapter 1753
There was no chance of them retrieving Sean's body and burying him, so Adrian wanted Marissa to give up on that thought. After all, Sean was gone. There was no need for them to take the risk and venture out for him.Although Marissa was young, she understood and nodded. "I understand."Even though she felt regretful, she knew she needed to focus on the bigger picture.Rozi changed the topic and said, "In that case, we should prepare to head to the train station. How do we get there, Adrian?" The train station was located on the outskirts of Vanglesville. It was a small station, so only a few trains would pass by every day. Adrian was not sure if there were any trains there, and even if there were, whether any of them had enough fuel and were in good condition. None of these things could be determined until they got there."If we follow the tracks, we should reach it in about seven kilometers or so. We should be able to reach the station pretty soon," Adrian said after searching t

"The station is overrun with monsters. Getting inside is relatively easy, but starting up a train will take some time. We’re going to have to eliminate all the monsters first."With some rough estimate, Adrian guessed there were more than a thousand of them inside. That did not seem like a lot, but after going through so many battles, Adrian knew more monsters would swarm to the location when they began fighting. Consequently, they were not facing just these thousands, but countless more coming from all sides.Rozi looked around and said, "There are too many monsters roaming nearby since we're still near Vanglesville. We'll be surrounded if we force our way in. Is there no other more reliable plan that doesn't involve fighting?" She looked at Adrian with a puzzled expression.Adrian shook his head, "No, there isn't. The station itself isn't very big, so we won't be able to sneak in unnoticed. Facing them is our only option.”"That doesn't seem like a very wise decision."Marissa p

Adrian, less than two hundred meters away, observed the situation. Nadine and Marissa looked nervous upon seeing the monsters.Adrian frowned and said, "Get ready, everyone. On the count of three, I want you two to stay very close behind me and Rozi as we enter the tunnel. After that, Nadine, Rozi, you two head to the nearest gate, while I go to the farthest one. Rozi will provide cover after the gate is shut. Nadine, you and Marissa follow me to the control room. Understand?""Understood," the three replied."All right, One… Two… Go!" As soon as he gave the command, Nadine and Marissa dashed forward, following behind Adrian and Rozi as they raced toward the tunnel. The noise created by their rush instantly attracted the monsters in the vicinity. Some of them leaped off the tracks and chased after them. The monsters inside the tunnel also noticed them and started rushing out.Adrian and Rozi, with swords in hand, quickly dispatched the closest monsters. Within a minute, the group

Meanwhile, Rozi was battling the monsters on top of the train. Fortunately, Adrian found spare fuel on the train. Relying on his experiences, Adrian did a series of checks to make sure all of the train was undamaged.The train soon roared to life and began jerking while spewing out white steam. Adrian smiled and called out, "It's operational. I need you to tell Rozi to open the gate after the third honk. We'll then rush out of here."To reduce the train's load, Adrian uncoupled several carriages while Nadine passed on the message to Rozi. When he heard Rozi's response, Adrian took a deep breath and got ready to instruct Rozi to open the gate.However, a series of rhythmic metal sounds came from inside the tunnel. It sounded like an S.O.S. message. Adrian did not pay much attention to it initially, but the sound grew louder and louder."It's a distress signal."Nadine and Marissa exchanged glances as he continued, "There are survivors here. You two, stay here and don't move. I'm

Six survivors—four men and two women—ran out of the room. Adrian, with no time to introduce himself, simply said, “Follow me!" They all headed toward the train, where Rozi was locked in fierce combat with monsters from all directions. Some had even begun damaging the train. Over a dozen monsters tried to block Adrian's path, but he cut them down with a single swing of his sword. He protected the survivors as they closed in on the trainHe shouted, "Get in!"Without hesitation, the survivors boarded the train. Adrian looked up and said, "Rozi, grab onto the train once you've opened the stone door! We're getting out of here!”"Got it!"Adrian dashed back into the train’s control room. With three loud honks, Rozi leaped down from the train roof and began to turn the gate's lever in the opposite direction, gradually bringing up the gate.As the gate opened, the monsters outside began to pour in. Some even jumped onto the roof. Rozi smartly chose not to open the gates completely, j

"It is him!""I never thought we'd run into you here, sir!" The other survivors started expressing their surprise and gratitude too.Adrian sat down and addressed them, "Relax, everyone. Are you all okay? What are your names?"The long-haired woman who spoke first stood up and introduced herself. "I'm Elise Dubois. I was a train conductor.”The short-haired woman next to her said, "I'm Mathilde Russel, her co-conductor."The four men introduced themselves as well. "I'm Lucienne Moreau, a security guard at the station.""Theo Deschamps. I worked at the ticket counter." "I'm Laurent Blanchard, and I was also a security guard." "Me too. The name’s Maxime Durand."Adrian nodded and remembered their names. "I'm glad you're all alive. We're currently headed to Drogoton. There are many soldiers guarding the city and they’ve also put up defensive walls. You'll all be safe there.”"Thank you, Sir Draco. We would've starved to death in there if it weren't for you,” said Elise.M
