Chapter 190: People come and go


......When the carriage slowly stopped, Holden thought he had arrived at his destination, but when he opened the door and looked out, he was directly stunned.The long line of carriages meandered crookedly all the way, and the bright moonlight quietly sprinkled on the river Eras, reflecting the projection of the high and low of the carriage, actually obscuring most of the river's surface, faintly reflecting the thin clouds, and it seemed that not much light could be seen.At this point, as a rough estimate, the stopping point of the Holden carriage was about a mile or so from Takahashi.A mile!

Although Holden expected the back-to-school dance to be lively, after seeing the scene with both eyes, the spectacle was far more than expected.Even Holden, who was accustomed to seeing the crazy surging crowds in China, was inevitably a little staggered, and he couldn't help but think of the scene of the highway during the Spring Festival, and he strongly doubted that all the residents of the entire rock abyss had run out, and finally understood the reason why Nair urged him to go out early."

Knock knock".Howlen knocked on the small sliding window directly in front of him, and the coachman's voice came from the front, "Mr.

Helo?

”The whole street was chattering and boiling, this was a scene that Hoden had never seen since arriving at Iwabuchi, Iwabuchi was not at all like Iwabuchi, the unfamiliar appearance made him full of confusion and a trace of helplessness."

I'll get off here.You can go to the neighborhood of Hunter Park and wait, have dinner first, and when the dance is over, I'll walk over to you. ”According to Howlen's personality, he was very, very reluctant to get up and walk around, but if he waited in the carriage like this, he might just fall asleep and miss the ball just like that—no problem for him, he didn't mind missing the city-wide event tonight.But Hodden knew that Nair would be disappointed.The thought of Nair dancing with excitement this morning came back to mind, and Hoden felt like he needed to take a walk around the ball.Even if it's just standing next to the dance floor.So, despite being too lazy to move a finger, let alone the nearly mile-long "expedition," Hoden decided to walk to the ball.Leaving the carriage, he casually put on his cloak coat, although it was still late summer and early autumn, but after nightfall, Iwabuchi could already feel the slight cold, the coat successfully blocked the cold wind and moisture, and his body warmed up again, knocking on the door of the carriage, signaling that the coachman could leave.Standing firm, Holden realized that there were many "guardians" outside the carriage, either stewards or attendants, quietly guarding the carriages of the nobles; But at this moment, even the nobles had to wait for admission in order, and no one was an exception.The lighted pipes loom in the darkness, like a series of sparkling lights, and the stars in the sky and the street lamps beside the street, paving a winding road to guide the way forward.Staggering, many eyes were projected towards Hoden, and they thought that Hoden was also a squire.But he didn't want to, Hodden put on his silk top hat, pressed the brim lightly, gestured to those eyes, and then pulled his cloak and coat, and walked straight away, turning his back to the long alley made of stars and fireworks.Although he has only been enrolled for two weeks, Holden is no longer ignorant of Seceppace Academy.The city of Iwabuchi was built around the Sykepace Academy, but it was not a formal blueprint and a collective process of operation; Instead, it spontaneously took root around the Sekpeth Academy, with more and more residents establishing their lives in the surrounding area.Because of this, the lower town of Székpeth College took on a chaotic appearance, with streets and buildings crooked to the point of no planning, and later the Midtown and Uptown were officially planned and built, and the streets took on a checkerboard appearance.Because of this, there are no walls between Sekpeth College and the city, and the campus and living areas are intertwined.In normal times, students come and go, and enter and exit more often through the high bridge to enter the House White Gate, which is also the main entrance of the college; But beyond that, the north, south and east sides of the campus all have easy access to the college.Tonight, for the sake of solemnity and formality, all the carriages were congested and piled up at the House White Gate, which was a kind of exquisiteness.Now, Hodden is entering the academy through another small bridge nearby, and looking north, you can see the outline of St.

Cray's College, the hustle and bustle across the river bank gradually disappearing into the night, and the world is quiet again.Holden's footsteps had never been to this area.The spire made of rock on the left-hand side used to be the letter tower, and the topmost tower is a signal tower and a watchtower; On the lower floor is the owl's attic, which is dedicated to the owls that deliver letterheads.But with the advancement of the times, this letter tower is slowly falling into disuse.Although the college is still raising owls, and the admission brochure also gives corresponding introductions, the frequency of use by students has been greatly reduced, and even related courses have been exhausted - originally "signals and passwords" are required for freshmen, because owl communication is a necessary skill for every psyker, and how to use their psionic energy to add a unique password to information is naturally essential.Now, however, even the elective class is on the verge of being secured.Rather than hastening forward, Hoden bred a leisurely stroll, taking a closer look at the barren area.Lacking popularity, correspondingly, it also adds to the wild interest, the weeds that are not cared for and cared for appear chaotic, with the rustling sound of the footsteps, and the occasional small insect can be seen jumping between the grass, and not far behind is the rumbling noise of the steam light rail."

Whew!""

Woo!"

There was a low whimper in my ears, and the first reaction was the sound of the steam light rail, but it was obviously not - the source and direction of the sound were not quite right, the way of resonance and the volume were not quite right, and even the texture of the sound was completely different, so what was the sound?"

Purr!"

Before it could be discerned further, the whimpering sound began to surge again, as if the beast was whispering, and then the shadow cast on the tower's towering walls could be seen gradually rising, taller, bigger, stronger, like an inflated balloon.Whew.Whew.The wind around them began to tighten up visibly, the whistling sound was becoming more and more obvious, and a damp chill could be clearly felt on the surface of the skin.The next moment, you can feel a faint vibration from the ground, there is no sound, but you can feel a buzzing vibration under the soles of your feet.The shadow cast on the tower seemed to be approaching, and the light and shadow gradually outlined the outline of the shadow, making goosebumps pop up in a strange and terrifying way.()
