Let's start over, Your Majesty.
Chapter 249 The Fletcher Train
Chapter 249 The Fletcher Train
beep--
After the train stopped, it let out a long, deep whistle, and billowing white fog enveloped the station.
"What? They still haven't assigned me any people? How are they doing their jobs? If they can't handle this, then get rid of them!"
A young girl's shout rang out at the station. Ita, dressed in a large formal coat and wearing a round-brimmed hat, looking every bit the mafia boss, stood with her hands on her hips, her delicate brows furrowed tightly.
“Master, the situation in the Eighth District is quite complicated. It’s not that there’s a lack of manpower there, but rather that no one dares to take on this mission,” Doruvan said with difficulty.
“The Frederick family doesn’t have absolute power there either. I heard you need a guide there, but they don’t dare to vouch for it.”
“I just need someone who can breathe and ask questions, why all this trouble? Are you afraid I’ll eat people?” Ita shouted.
"The biggest problem is that we are still worried about our ability to guarantee your safety. Their consistent response is that we hope you will not go in person. If you need anything, they are happy to help you."
"A bunch of useless trash, who do I need to guarantee my safety?" Ita said unhappily.
"I will convey your message to them, but there's a high chance no one will take it on," Doruvin said.
He knew the mindset of the people there very well. If he ignored their orders, he would at most be punished, but if he accepted the family head's guide mission, he might lose his life if he wasn't careful.
The pros and cons are quite clear.
"Alright, how about this, I'll go in alone, Ita, you can wait for me outside."
Caesar then spoke up.
“How can that be? That’s a chaotic area without even police. What if you encounter danger if you go in alone, Caesar?” Ita said immediately.
"Do you think I'm afraid of danger?" Caesar said.
"but."
Ita wanted to say something more, but Caesar raised his hand to stop him:
"Alright, you wait outside. I'll contact you using other means. If I run into trouble, I'll summon you."
"Okay then," Ita said, still quite uneasy.
The train was about to depart, and the accompanying servants carried the luggage onto the train. Ita and Caesar then went inside as well.
This train, with only four carriages, is the private train of the Frederick family. Mainly for security reasons, Ita always travels on the family's private train when going on long trips.
The interior of the carriage is decorated like a cozy living room, with a dedicated bedroom, meeting room, washroom, shower room, and kitchen where you can prepare all kinds of delicious food. Even the most luxurious first-class carriage on an ordinary train cannot compare to it.
It's 6 PM on Friday evening, and darkness is about to fall outside.
The situation there might not be resolved in a day or two, so they chose to set off on Friday night and arrive in Baghwu around 10 a.m. the next morning, saving them the rest time after a whole day of travel.
Yumilia also mentioned going on a weekend vacation with Ita. It was rare for the two children to want to go out together, so Yumilia didn't want to bother them and happily saw them off to the car.
While Ita was making arrangements for their arrival, Caesar sat on the soft sofa and took out a book to read.
After Ita made the arrangements, she came over and sat down next to him.
"Caesar, Baghou said they'll arrange a guide for you into the Eighth District,"
“Yes, that’s fine.” Caesar nodded. Ita leaned her head closer and rested it naturally on his shoulder, looking at the book he was holding.
"What are you looking at?"
"Under the Aurora," Caesar uttered the book's title.
"What a strange name."
"Don't let the strange title fool you, this is a professional geographical book, filled with knowledge about the natural environment, culture, and history of the Arctic," Caesar said.
After learning the secrets of the Arctic Circle from Muirner, he urged Clorin to quickly collect Elias's diary for him, while also beginning to learn about the area himself.
Before this, the Arctic seemed to be a completely ignored area by the academic community, and geography textbooks rarely introduced it.
Now Caesar realized that this was not neglect, but rather avoidance.
There are too many mysteries there.
In his time, the Arctic Circle was unexplored because it was occupied by the Blood Demon Clan, and there was little interference there except for the Great Wall in the North. He also knew very little about the area.
Looking back now, the origin of the Blood Demon Clan is a mystery, not to mention the meteorite impact and the ancient ruins that caused such a huge tremor that later appeared there.
Unfortunately, even now there isn't enough research on that area. He went to great lengths to find this book describing the Arctic, and it was written many years ago by an anonymous author.
Although Muirner's parents' notes are mostly theoretical formulas, many terms are related to the Arctic, including the location of the magnetic field and the unique aurora phenomenon, which are explained in detail in this book.
Therefore, the more you learn, the better you understand the notes, and the closer you get to the truth of this world.
So in order to understand the contents of the notes, he has now begun to study on his own. He can't very well be the emperor and have to tell Muirna that he can't understand what his parents wrote and ask him to translate it for him, can he?
Ita leaned on his shoulder and watched with him for a while, but the dry, purely informational content made her doze off.
“If you’re tired, go take a nap,” Caesar said.
"It's alright, I want to keep Caesar company." Ita shrank back, crossed her legs on the sofa, wrapped her arms around Caesar's arm, and leaned her whole body against him affectionately.
The train had already started moving, and the thumping sound of the tracks could be heard. Night had fallen outside the window, and the warm lights inside the carriage, along with the soft, fragrant body of the young woman beside me, created a peaceful and pleasant feeling.
Caesar turned the pages of the book and suddenly spoke: "Itah."
"Hmm?" Ita mumbled a sleepy "hmm".
"Do you know about the genius drug?" Caesar asked.
"Hmm?" Ita opened her eyes and looked at Caesar: "Why is Caesar asking this?"
"I suddenly saw some related information and just wanted to ask you about it," Caesar said.
"I've heard of this 'genius drug' before. It was very popular more than ten years ago. It was said to stimulate the brain potential of teenagers and enhance their learning abilities. It was also a very expensive supplement," Ita said.
"However, it was later revealed that this drug contained addictive snake venom extract, causing necrosis of the brain and spinal cord in a large number of teenagers. After the incident escalated, the kingdom had no choice but to put it on the list of prohibited substances, and the parent company, Caiguang Pharmaceutical, which produced it, was also blacklisted," Ita said.
She then shook her head: "However, there is still some public opinion saying that Caiguang Pharmaceutical has changed its identity and continues to manufacture this type of drug in another field."
"But I don't know anymore. After all, they went out of business almost ten years ago, and nobody pays attention to their news anymore."
