Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 668 - 62: Visiting Dark Furnace City

Rowena worked efficiently, and early the next morning, she brought news about the two "ancient people." It turned out that these two, living in peaceful times, were not accustomed to Rowena's tactics. Eventually, they revealed everything, including what happened before they arrived here.

Their original identities were that of technicians at a company, similar to Ethan's situation. After completing a project, they returned home, only to find themselves in the Kingdom of Bigso the next morning.

Just as Ethan imagined, it was a terrible landing spot. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Because Bigso is located north of the Gallog Kingdom, within the Pope's sphere of influence. Even though their good friend Mr. Julius had an accident, the troubles he and his mentor Turzan left behind continued to persist. Since the rule of Henry III, the Empire has had close ties with the Papal State.

The Papal State has grown from a small country to the powerful force that now rules the north, thanks in no small part to Julius.

These two unfortunate ancient people not only appeared at the wrong place but also at the wrong time. According to their oral accounts, the Bigso Kingdom, under the guidance of the Pope, now resists all products, culture, and technology from the Empire.

As "transmigrators," they were initially full of ambition, thinking, like in those farming stories, they could use their knowledge to carve out a place in this chaotic and turbulent era. However, when they subtly proposed this idea to the city's nobles, they were immediately imprisoned by the zealous members of the Church.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough to escape during a jailbreak and fled with a group of refugees to the Empire. After learning about the Empire's changes and the new cabinet's policy during a casual chat with Captain Hagrid, their hope was rekindled.

"Old Sen, do you think these ancient people also come from a realm that hasn't been discovered by the guild yet?"

Rowena crossed her arms. Now that she was knowledgeable, she was not overly surprised by the sudden appearance of two more "ancient people." "Their temperament seems stable enough that they won't cause any big problems. I'll keep an eye on them."

"Hmm."

"Well, now that the business is done."

Rowena's gaze sharpened, "Let's discuss some other issues."

Rather than settling the two "ancient people," she was more interested in something else, "Old Sen, what's the deal with your outfit?"

A tightly wrapped trench coat, with something black perched on the bridge of his nose.

"Hmm? You mean this? These are sunglasses. They effectively prevent the sun from being too glaring and are an essential outdoor item."

Hearing this, Rowena's confusion deepened.

If it were from another employee at the Old Sen Magical Technology Store, she'd understand. But Old Sen himself was often the one who'd conjure a sun over people's heads. Would he be afraid of glaring sunlight?

Clearly, Ethan was hiding something.

"And this getup, it's the latest trend in detective fashion, highly recommended by excellent graduates of the Truth Society."

"And this then?"

Rowena squinted, pointing at Ethan's neck. After a careful examination, she found a suspicious red mark on his neck that extended into the trench coat—clearly the reason he was wrapped so tightly.

Nothing escapes Rowena, the master of intelligence.

"Which one?"

Ethan instinctively touched his neck and immediately explained, "Oh, you mean this? You must be mistaken. With summer approaching, mosquitoes are reviving. This is just a mosquito bite."

"Mistaken?"

Rowena smirked. She had already identified the definitive issue. Waving her hand like Edogawa Conan flashes in revelation, she pointed at Lindong, who was uncharacteristically quiet this morning. "From the moment I entered, I found it odd. I deliberately came early, and usually this cat would hiss at me by now!"

Today, Lindong just sat on the bed in pajamas, as docile as a house cat.

She pointed at Lindong trying to hide behind Ethan. "Lindong, aren't you planning to say anything?"

"Buzz buzz, buzz buzz."

Such sounds came from behind Ethan.

The two never expected that Lindong could imitate the sound of a mosquito.

"There is only one truth!"

Rowena raised her voice. "You didn't sleep at all last night. Those sunglasses are obviously to hide your dark circles!"

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

At the moment of realization, Rowena felt like she had reached the pinnacle of her life. Unfortunately, such a peak moment didn't last long. Suddenly, she realized something, her face froze, and her outstretched finger began to tremble slightly.

"Rowena, knowing too much isn't always a good thing."

Ethan sighed helplessly.

"Hmm."

Rowena lowered her head. "Well, I'll be heading back now."

The room fell silent again, leaving Ethan and Lindong staring at each other. Once Rowena's footsteps completely faded, Lindong made a funny face at Ethan.

Today, she was very satisfied. The incubation plan was already on the agenda, enabling Ethan to go to Dark Furnace City for investigation.

She smiled and waved at Ethan, like a wife seeing her husband off on a business trip. "Take care on the way, and don't forget to call home every night~"
