Storm Villa.

In the middle of the night, Mary woke up.

Bang! Bang!

In the silence, only the long pendant of the Mahogany Clock was still shaking left and right, and a subtle sound came.

She grew up in this manor since she was a child and knew that her parents like mechanical items such as clocks and watches.

In the manor hall, corridors and in the owner's collection room, the display of not expensive antiques, but mechanical items.

All kinds of mechanical clocks and watches are the couple's favorites.

Dangdang!

The bell rings at 12 o'clock.

"Madam! Madam!"

Mary called out a few times, but no one answered.

She got up, wearing her pajamas and rubbed her eyes.

Outside the crack of the door, the orange candle light shone in.

The little girl sneaked out of the bedroom with her teddy bear in her arms, perhaps just trying to take a novel adventure, or perhaps just a subconscious stroll.

"The nanny, maid, male servant, butler in the manor... I always feel a little strange recently..."

Mary thought to herself and walked to a corner.

She saw the butler Bob sitting there with a blank expression on his face and wide eyes like a puppet.

The little girl was instantly scared.

After a long time, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward and pushed Bob's shoulder.

Click!

Just now, Bob's head fell off, and gear bearings and spring parts popped out from the interface of his neck.

"ah!"

Mary was frightened and ran quickly across the long corridor, trying to find her parents.

"Miss……"

On the way, she saw a maid.

The other party's movement was extremely mechanical, and it seemed that it was just a doll with a clockwork, with a creaking sound in the joint activities: "Night travel is not a behavior that a lady should do."

She reached out her hand, as if she wanted to grab Mary.

"No!"

Mary skillfully walked around her and rushed up the stairs.

"Go to find mom and dad..."

Her eyes were filled with tears and she ran out of her parents' bedroom.

The door was not locked and opened immediately.

Mary stared at the scene inside, and the teddy bear in her hand fell to the ground.

Her father, holding a wrench in his hand, was repairing a huge robot figure.

The doll consists of metal strips and gear nuts, which are proportional to adults. There is an old woman's head on the table next to it.

"Oh? Mary, are you looking for your nanny? Sorry... she will fix it right away."

Mary's father turned his head and said hello stiffly.

His expression was dull, and the expression on his face seemed to have solidified, making a mechanical sound.

"No!!!"

The little girl's sharp voice echoed in the manor.

...

Clang... Clang...

The steam train flew across the rails, making a unique sound of steel collision, occasionally accompanied by a few long whistles.

Jenny trembled all over, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.

The dim lights, the dim night outside the window, and the sleepy passengers around them all illustrate exactly how this is a steam train that travels at night—a new thing that has just emerged in recent years.

Storm Villa is located in a countryside, six or seven hours from the city of Zeland.

After arriving at the place, you must also transfer to a carriage.

Jenny was on the way there.

‘I actually fell asleep… Am I too tired recently?’

She smiled self-deprecatingly, then rubbed her eyebrows, and her expression calmed down: "I am already a fourth-level saint... Is the sudden awakening just now a spiritual warning?"

‘I obtained a lot of ancient literature through adventure, and combined with my own understanding and experience, and deduced the fifth-level integration plan... Why do I still feel uneasy?’

Originally, according to the orthodox thinking of the Free City Federation, after improving the Spider Holy Mark, the bloodline of the Eight-Eyed Demon Spider should continue to be promoted to become a more powerful ancient monster.

But Jenny, who was already mixed with strange bloodlines, could not take this path.

As time passed, she felt the impact of that eye on her more and more.

It was growing madness and chaos, and it also brought danger of split personality.

Only by continuous advancement can we suppress it slightly. Even so, there is already a rumor in the academic world that the inventor of Jenny Steam Engine is a woman full of quirks and moody.

‘This time... I must succeed and get the right monster bloodline!’

Jenny made up her mind.

What she didn't know was that just now, two white men in their thirties in their trench coats walked past her and came to another carriage.

"The Kingdom of Forrest has changed a lot... However, the most advanced steam train is still our Kingdom of Tallinn, and there are railways!"

Feiqi is proud and authentic.

“These are meaningless…”

Valen said disapprovingly: "Don't forget our purpose this time."

Unlike Fitch, who was originally a foreigner, he was considered a 'traitor' and acted very low-key: "This time... there is a rare news about mechanical strange things, so you can't let it go!"

"It's a pity that it is not in our country, otherwise it would be much more convenient to mobilize manpower... Even in the Liberal Confederacy Alliance, you, a great scientist, don't need to take risks."

Feiqi promised: "But when you arrive at the local area, a small team of 'combat scholars' will come to support you."

"This is what I took the initiative to ask for. After all... the material is precious and worth studying."

Valen said indifferently: "Besides... I am not a weak person either."

In his chest, an owl spread her wings and was obviously intact.

"But...you have to assure me that you have given up that crazy idea!"

Feiqi suddenly said solemnly: "After the complete holy mark, isn't it good to take the orthodox route? The bloodline of ancient monsters is already very crazy. Don't think about evil things!"

"But... the abilities of some evil things are indeed very attractive, well... well, I promise you that I have given up that idea..."

Valen raised his hands helplessly.

...

When the thick fog in the morning gradually dissipated, the steam train also stopped on the platform of a small town facing the rising sun.

“Welcome to Storm Town!”

There were huge slogans above the platform.

Sporadic passengers got off the train.

Jenny was carrying her suitcase and preparing to leave the train station. She called a public carriage. Suddenly, she glanced at Valen.

Although the other party was disguised, she still recognized it. After all, the person the teacher specifically reminded him was the inventor of the steam train, so he was naturally impressed.

‘Why is he here?’

Jenny shifted her sight naturally.
