Chapter 1119 - Borcen (2/2)
Borcen finally calmed down from his excitement. Sighing, he said, “You daredevil. So daring that you have joined Light Seeker twice. I wasn’t even as crazy as you when I was drunk. You come back alone?”
Wendell lowered his eyes, face gloomy. “There are not many who could make it back from the darkness.”
“May their souls rest in peace in the eternal kingdom.” Borcen drew a few prayer gestures on his chest, his wrinkled clothes and casual tone made his prayer sound sincere. He then turned and looked at the group of strangers who had been standing there for a while. “Who are these people? Dressed in such attires, where do they come from?”
Wendell smiled mysteriously. He tried to suppress his expression so that he would look a little more solemn and mysterious. But the excitement had gotten the better of him, and it showed on his face. “No. They came from the outside.”
“Oh, outside, that’s far.” Borcen waved his hand casually as he still did not know what happened. When he finally realized it, he froze, his eyes widened, and he choked a little then burst. “From the outside?”
His voice almost shattered their eardrums.
Wendell grabbed Borcen’s shoulder with force. “Keep your voice down. The shock wave will destroy the entire station. Yes, they are from the outside; outside the Twilight Shroud, outside Twilight Capital! They come from Asgard.”
“Asgard, Asgard…” Borcen repeated the word a few times. “Ah, I know, it is the ancient kingdom. I have heard that the gods have personally ruled the place before. Oh, my god! Did you make it there? No, no, this can’t be possible. You are trying to amuse me, aren’t you? Your brain must be damaged by the darkness outside, or the toxins must have contaminated me.”
Wendell patted on Borcen’s shoulder with force. “This is not you. Since when you become so square?”
Borcen’s face turned solemn. “It is true?”
“It is true. It is not only true, but these messengers from Asgard also need your favor.” Wendell pointed to Hao Ren and his teammates. “I want to bring them to the Light-seeker headquarters. It is urgent, and the most convenient means of transportation I can find is your locomotive.”
Borcen rubbed his nose. “They want to hitch a ride? No problem. But I can only send them to the upper city. I can’t help when they reach the shaft that connects the upper to the lower city. You have to deal with the people in the Steam Assembly. But if the bureaucrats spot them, I guess you and your friends will have to go through a lot of red tapes. Their identity is just too special.”
Lily rolled her eyes. “Is the Steam Assembly not happy to see other survivors in the world? Will they make trouble out of it?”
“They won’t. The people in the Steam Assembly are humans too. Of course, they’re happy to know that there are other habitable zones outside Twilight Capital.” Borcen spread out his hand. “But a bureaucrat is still a bureaucrat. People like us living in the outer zone and bureaucrats don’t get along well.”
“Then just take us wherever you can,” Galazur said. “We will figure out the rest.
