Eiffel Tower at night
“It’s fake. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Doesn’t your throat hurt if you make up your voice like that?”
what the hell is this guy
Even if you casually remove the shichimi, it does not fall over at all. Rather, the fact that the voice was made up on purpose was discovered at once.
Finally, I sighed and asked in my original voice.
“How did you know?”
“Well. Because I have a good sense of humor.”
You don’t want to answer.
If the disguise had been clumsy enough to simply hit him with a sense, he would have been caught by the police earlier. Otherwise, at least Sherlock would have noticed.
“Can I sit next to you? Thank you. Then excuse me.”
I haven’t answered yet. Rather than that, you’re already sitting next to me in the first place, so why are you asking me now?
After a brief conversation, I quickly realized that this man was a character as unusual as his appearance.
It’s safe to not get involved with such a person for nothing.
But apart from my heart, the masked man kept talking to me.
“Where is your destination?”
“… it’s Paris.”
“Five. A city of romance. It is a very beautiful place.”
He looks like he’s completely talkative about a reticent subject.
“I am going to Frankfurt. It is one of the best iron cities in Europe.”
“okay.”
Is that Prussia? In fact, even if it is the same Europe, it is safe to say that it does not appear in the original.
“Is this your first time on this train?”
“yes.”
“Right. This train travels all over Europe, so it’s perfect for travel.”
well Considering the ticket price, isn’t it too excessive to use it only for simple travel?
If you have enough time, you can travel by train or boat.
From then on, the chatter between the men continued without stopping. The content was nothing more than a nonsensical chatter that was not even worth remembering.
While I was seriously thinking about whether my ears would bleed, finally, the blue sea that stretched out beyond the end of the earth unfolded endlessly.
Finally, they reached the edge of the border of Britannia.
I watched the scenery outside the window with a pounding heart.
I had been waiting for this moment, enduring boredom. How will this train travel across the sea to continental Europe?
“I’ll give you one piece of advice.”
“Any advice?”
“You better close the window. It gets pretty chilly.”
is it getting colder? Before realizing the meaning of those words out of the blue, the train sped past the land and sped towards the sea.
what. Are you just crossing the sea like this?
But in the sea there was nothing that could be called a road, of course, a track.
Isn’t it supposed to run like a bulldozer and crash into the sea?
As some doubts and uneasiness began to sprout in his heart, the train sprinted forward furiously and soon a startling sight unfolded.
A blue magic circle suddenly appeared from the train’s head, and a cold chill enveloped it. And as the sea froze, it made a way.
“Wow···.”
I was truly amazed. Indeed, this is what magic engineering is.
Literally, a skill that uses magic and engineering at the same time. If the two had not come together, this magnificent view would never have been possible.
[So beautiful.]
‘Iknow, right.’
A train running on the frozen sea.
There was a sense of romance that made my heart flutter just by listening to it. As I became one in such a scene and experienced it myself, the emotion was doubled.
“Magic Engineering. It’s a very attractive technique. Franken’s greatest achievement.”
“Yes.”
The significance of this technology was unique. It was the only possibility that could not only improve the quality of life, but also unite the fields of magic and science that constantly collide.
Why couldn’t such magic engineering be commercialized?
The reason is simple. This is because Dr. Victor Franken, who developed the technology, suddenly disappeared one day.
It’s been a while since he disappeared, but still no one fully understands the principles of enchantment engineering.
All mage engineering techniques in the world, including this train, were created while he was alive. In other words, unless Dr. Franken returns, magic engineering is nothing but lost technology.
It cannot be manufactured or repaired.
“·················ogue.”
I took the ticket out of my pocket and looked at the back.
A pattern that combines a golden mechanical winding and a magic circle.
Disappeared technology Magic engineering.
The whereabouts of the doctor were still unresolved in the original work.
It wasn’t complete in the first place, so I didn’t know everything about this world.
Already, everyone believes that Dr. Franken is dead. When you come back, you can enjoy all the wealth and glory, but there is no reason to hide.
“I have crossed all the seas. From now on, it is the Frankish Kingdom.”
I woke up to the sound of the voice next to me and looked around.
As he said, the scenery outside the window was filled with green nature instead of the blue sea.
***
This is the Frankish Kingdom.
The scenery changes continuously as you move through the port town and into the center.
This country had France as its motif, but there were quite a few differences.
The biggest feature above all is that this place is a ‘Kingdom’.
In the industrial era of the 19th century, France, a free country, should have ended the revolution long ago.
However, in this country, the monarchy, aristocratic system, and various medieval times remained.
To put it bluntly, Britannia, the main stage of the original work, is close to steampunk.
Conversely, this Frank Kingdom is a stage full of a sense of orthodox fantasy.
However, this does not mean that the country is behind the trend of the times.
Rather, Britannia was the most fierce competitor, and at the same time, it was a country famous for its magic power.
I looked up at the towering Eiffel Tower out the window.
‘The Eiffel Tower would be built at the end of the 19th century.’
What would you do with such a thing in the manga universe?
The Eiffel Tower, built in Paris, the capital of the kingdom, stimulated the sensibility of subtle disharmony.
“You have just arrived in Paris.”
“Yes.”
Arrived earlier than expected thanks to crossing the sea.
I’ll just settle my case here and go back to London right away.
I have to go to school tomorrow morning, so I had to finish all my work within this morning.
ugh I remember staying up all night making a notice a few days ago…
It seems that the pain of creation that day was combined with fatigue and left as a trauma.
So I tried to sleep on the train for a bit, but the plan was totally messed up by this chatty cowboy next to me.
“It was a fun time, even for a short time.”
“Well. First of all, thank you for saying that.”
I thought it would be difficult to say that I liked it even with empty words, so I just pretended.
In fact, except for being a bit noisy, he wasn’t a bad person as I thought. It’s just that I was alerted to my identity in the first place.
“I have a feeling that I will meet you again. Go carefully.”
Should I have said such an ominous word?
Anyway, I just said goodbye and got off the train.
After getting off the platform, the magic engineering train moves again. I stared at him for a moment as he left, then glanced around the platform.
there is no one Be really lazy
As you may have guessed from the price, this train seems to have really few passengers.
I wondered if there were even guests in the other compartments. Wasn’t it just me and the cowboys?
Oh, come to think of it, it would be weird if there were a lot of customers at this time of the day.
If it was a regular train in the first place, there would be no way it would run at night.
“This is not going through a pilaster.”
This is also the secret entrance to each country is different.
The Paris platform, surprisingly, had to exit through a window. There is a staircase under the window, so when I asked what a strange interior it was, it was an entrance pretending to be a window.
When I went out of the platform, a soft full moon was illuminating the streets of Paris at night.
I don’t know the way because it’s the first road, but it didn’t really matter as it was enough to walk towards the huge steel structure that you can see anywhere in Paris anyway.
The Eiffel Tower, which arrived soon after, was much larger than expected.
How would people feel at the time if it looked so big even to my eyes, who are used to tall buildings and skyscrapers?
By the way, I’ve heard it’s at the Eiffel Tower, but where exactly is it?
I don’t think it’s saying that I’m up there.
In the first place, is it possible to be at the Eiffel Tower without sleeping at night like this? Since I couldn’t hear the exact address, I was just staring blankly at the Eiffel Tower to kill time.
A lively hum was heard from the back plaza garden.
Turning her head, a woman sipping tea while sitting at a table as if enjoying a refreshing afternoon tea.
With a wide-brimmed white hat and a gorgeous dress, she was a woman whose word nobility was perfect for anyone looking at her.
Even the hairstyle is blonde bun hair.
If only the sun had risen in the sky instead of the moon, she would have been a perfect Parisian woman.
First off, she’s not an ordinary woman.
If it wasn’t for that in the first place, there’s no way I wouldn’t have noticed her existence from the beginning.
I approached her and spoke carefully.
“Are you the witch of prophecy?”
“I heard about it. The phantom thief of Britain.”
She smiled brightly with her purple eyes.
“I heard you have something to do with me.”
