Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

However, that humanoid machine is at least two or three meters tall, so it's like a mini Gundam.

What the hell?

A series of question marks, much like those posed by Yasuo's teammates when he was 0-27-0, flashed through Lu Ye's mind.

Isn't the background of Violet Evergarden based on World War I?

When talking about World War I, wasn't it just everyone wearing steel helmets and carrying bolts running around in the trenches?

How come you've turned it into a humanoid Gundam?

Is it that I have a misunderstanding about World War I, or that you have a misunderstanding about World War I?

What the hell is going on with this tech tree?!

He felt a spasm in his stomach because he had a lot of grievances he wanted to vomit.

But take a calm and careful look.

You'll find that these "Gundams" aren't like the ones in anime, with cool paint jobs and particle cannons or other weapons.

It is only a little over two meters tall. If you look closely, it is just a large iron shell. It is heavy. Through the gaps, you can vaguely see the brass bearings and dense copper pipes inside. The copper pipes are used for heat dissipation. With such a dense array of copper pipes, the heat generated must be astonishing.

The outer shell of this "mech" appears to be a protective plate, but the internal structure is not clearly visible.

Without advanced technology, based on the technological development of this era, its power source should be the steam engine.

Although it doesn't look like a Gundam, it still looks quite creepy.

The face appears to be covered by a sliding mask, with only a small slit for the eyes, resembling the helmet of the PSH-style heavy armor used by the former Soviet Union.

There are some dents on it, presumably from bullet holes, and the broken parts are forcibly welded together with alloy, making the whole face look like it has been torn and stitched up, which is extremely terrifying.

Looking at it this way, it doesn't feel high-tech at all; instead, it has a steampunk vibe.

But before he could figure out what was going on, the leading officer came up to Lu Ye, took off his military cap, and saluted.

He was quite old, with silver-gray hair combed back, and his aged face was covered with crisscrossing scars.

The most striking scar runs from the upper left temple to the lower right lip, almost spanning the entire face. The wound remains concave to this day, indicating that the flesh on the face did not grow back, making it particularly irritating to the optic nerve.

It is worth mentioning, however, that his gesture was not a military salute, but rather a gesture of etiquette among the upper-class nobles of Leidenshaftrich.

"I apologize for bothering you, and thank you for your generous help."

His voice was hoarse, like the raven waving in a graveyard.

"...Let's come inside and talk, it's still raining outside."

Lu Ye stepped aside to make way, and everyone squeezed into the room, making the already small space even more crowded.

Everyone huddled together around the campfire, while Lu Ye brought out smoked mutton, which was skewered on tree branches and sizzling with oil.

After adding some firewood piled up in the corner of the room, the campfire burned even brighter.

Five people entered the room. Among them, apart from the leading officer, Lu Ye only recognized one original character, Dietfried.

I don't recognize the other three, but based on what Dietfried said earlier, they are all officers of rank or higher.

“General O’Sinlid, those brothers in the backyard…” Dietfried said in a low voice.

"Oh, I'll go make them a fire, otherwise they might catch a cold the next day." Lu Ye reached out to grab the sticks with exposed stems in the campfire.

He had a piece of sheepskin in his bosom; if he covered it slightly, the fire wouldn't go out.

Otherwise, in such a storm, torches of this size wouldn't even reach the sheepfold.

“No rush,” O’Sullid said calmly. “They need a little time to adjust, they’ll be fine in a bit.”

Lu Ye's outstretched hand paused in mid-air before slowly retracting.

He thought to himself, "This old man is actually a general!"

Logically speaking, shouldn't he have allowed his soldiers to keep warm as well?

Otherwise, even soldiers would almost certainly catch a cold the next day if they spent the night in such a stormy weather.

Unless they are willing to take off their wet clothes and choose to lie down in the sheep's embrace.

Is it that this general doesn't cherish his subordinates, or... are there several gun barrels pointed at this side of the cabin now?

As if to confirm Lu Ye's guess, Violet subtly tugged at his sleeve.

This was a warning to him that there was danger outside.

Cold sweat trickled down Lu Ye's forehead...

Oh no, Violet won't be able to take care of everyone now.

He took only a portion of the men inside, leaving the other armed soldiers outside in a fighting stance. If there was any movement inside, the heavily armed soldiers would block the front and back doors with their blackened gun barrels. If he and Violet dared to make any rash moves, they would open fire.

Lu Ye was mentally prepared that the old man didn't trust him.

But this old man is being far too cautious!

Violet and I look so young and harmless, how could we possibly harm you?

Thinking it over, Lu Ye quietly tucked the broken arrow inwards from his arms.

He got up and went to the wooden box in the corner to get mineral water and biscuits, which were supplies he had previously exchanged from the mall.

"It was taken from the ship that was wrecked. It was sealed very tightly and had not been soaked in water."

“I’m so sorry, thank you again for your hospitality.” O’Sullid greeted him. “My name is O’Sullid Barretts.”

"No need for that. We're all from Luodao Island, so helping each other out is only right. My name is Lu Ye, the pronunciation isn't too strange, is it?"

"Did you also encounter a shipwreck?"

"Yes, more than two months ago, the passenger ship encountered a storm and sank at sea. I originally wanted to go to the port of Leidenshaftrich to see the scenery. I heard that the scenery there is very beautiful and the weather is warm all year round... To be honest, I was really shocked when I saw you. I thought I would wait to die on this island for the rest of my life."

"Haha, if you want to go to Leidenshaftrich, just hitch a ride on our boat. There are more than twenty people on board doing the work of removing water and repairing the ship. However, the repair work will not be completed for at least a week, so the rest of us have chosen to go ashore to find shelter. That ship is completely flooded and we can't stay there at all."

Lu Yexin felt a little relieved.

Is the other party probably willing to take me away from here?

However, he wasn't sure, because Violet was still clutching his sleeve, which meant the crisis wasn't over yet.

"However, your Western language is really good. For a young Easterner to speak a Western language so fluently, you are truly a learned person."

The flickering firelight reflected in Osinlid's eyes.

"It's nothing. It's just that my older brother married a Western woman and went to Western countries a few times during their wedding. After returning, he became interested in Western languages, so he taught himself for a while."

Lu Ye thought to himself, "I knew you old geezer didn't believe me!"

You're being way too cautious! No matter how you look at it now, I'm the one at a disadvantage!

Lu Ye mentally ranted.

The opponent has the advantage in both equipment and numbers.

Being careful is indeed a good thing, but Lu Yezhen has no ill intentions towards them; she only hopes that they can take her away from this island.

These guys will be staying on the island for about seven days, and there's enough food on the island.

But perhaps because he had been through too many battlefields, the old man did not trust Lu Ye.

After all, life is too fragile; a mere stab to the neck with a knife can take a person's life.

Who can see through someone's true nature at first glance?

Who can be sure they won't have their throat slit while they're sleeping?

This is an isolated island, surrounded by the sea, like a beautiful prison, but no one can escape.

Lu Ye understood Osinlid's concerns.

So all he had to do was get Osinlid to lower his guard, nothing more.

“Who is this…?” O’Sullid asked.

He was referring to Violet, who was completely covered by a sheepskin raincoat, making it impossible to see her face.

“She’s my sister-in-law’s younger sister, the same younger sister as that Western woman. She was on the same ship as me… but she’s a bit shy and doesn’t talk much.” Lu Ye lied without batting an eye.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the cabin.

After receiving permission, a young soldier quickly entered and whispered something in Osinlid's ear.

"Alright, that's settled then, Mr. Lu. My guys are almost ready. Could I borrow a light?"

“Of course.” Lu Ye handed over the piece of sheepskin.

Osinlid took the sheepskin but did not hand it to the soldier.

"Go and call Ye Zhou over."

Lu Ye was taken aback.

Ye Zhou?

Eastern names?

Chapter 23 War

"Colonel, you wanted to see me?"

Half a minute later, the young man, soaking wet, appeared inside the house.

“Yes, take some firewood over there so the others can warm themselves up,” O’Sinlid said.

"Yes!"

Lu Ye stared at the young soldier, thinking to himself that he was right.

Ye Zhou, an Eastern name, so most likely he also has an Eastern face.

From Lu Ye's perspective, that guy named Ye Zhou was actually quite handsome.

"You three, go and help carry the log over there," Osinlid said to the sergeants.

"Yes!"

The three sergeants got up and began gathering firewood piled up in the corner of the house.
