In the rest room of the locomotive.
Adam found that there was nobody there as he alone in the room at this moment.
He began to slowly remove his clergyman robe to ease himself.
As he put on the robe again he felt something hidden within the robe.
Curious Adam decided to remove said object from its carefully hidden spot that had once eluded him.
A notebook.
What he found was a relatively small note book with minimal pages, it was blue in color and the cover was engraved with some unknown symbols that slightly shimmered under the sunlight.
Not hiding his eagerness, he opened the book to the first page hoping to find something useful this is literally the only object he had found that belonged to him,
it could contain information about himself and his parents and where he is from.
He eagerly opened the book to read it. he couldn't understand the language it was written it, after looking for a couple of seconds, he recognized the hand writing. He had read it when he was in aurore's lee's room.
It was dragonese.
the only sentence he could read was just a side note written in the hermes language.
belongs to Aeon.
Belongs to Aeon?as soon as Adam muttered that sentences the surrounding begins to exhibit a slight change
the entire train appeared to move slightly slower than normal, clock ticks became distinct and loud as thought time itself had slowed to a crawl.
what the- suddenly this bizarre phenomenon suddenly ceased as every this went normal again.
what just happened? why did everything just slowed just now, or was i just imagening it
This is … Adam had learned about this language through glimpses of pages he had read while in the Cordu ruins, there were 5 languages that could stir the forces of nature, Hermes, ancient Hermes, Jotun, dragoneses and elvish.
Wait what is the difference between ancient Hermes and Hermes and how do they stir the laws of nature?
During those brief glances into a book called psychic which he had found in Aurore lee's room. Adam had placed his main focus on Jotun which was regarded to be the language of the giant. Giving how had had just seen a giant he wondered if it was possible to communicate to such beings, that was before he knew about the immediate and corruption one would have from such interactions.
gazing at the book written in Hermes, his immediate goal was to get the words written translated but he did want others to know about this including valentine and the others
OK I will have to find a way to learn dragonese those books i gathered could be of great help
Adam paused for a moment and considered
Or i can just find someone that could help me translate it, yes, these two plans are viable and i don't want what this book entails to be revealed I have to be cautious while doing this. Valentine and the others are weary of me.
Adam barely knowing the language in which the words were written in sighed in defeat as he quickly stored it away where it was in the sealed section of his robe and muttered, I have too learn this Hermes language, perhaps I could ask valentine when we reach the church.
With this though Adam quietly vacated the restroom and returned to his seat.
he then began to read one of the books he had taken from cordu. Leah, Ryan, and Valentine
The train announced that we'll soon arrive at their destination. Not having any means to translate the written words. Adam decided to store the book away on his person and would read it later.
With this though Adam quietly vacated the restroom and returned to to section of the train he and valentine's colleagues had occupied.
As Adam joined the trio they were extremely quiet with unreadable facial expressions especially Leah which emotions Adam couldn't quite read.
is she a beyonder that counters the spectator? or is this just her naturally?
not wanting to disturb the silence Adam opened one of Aurore Lee's book called psychic and began to read, as he read he hummed a gentle tune while reading dispelling his intense emotions and those of the people nearest to him. but it wasn't as strong as a full bard beyonder.
As adam hummed, valentine, leah and ryan looked at each other with knowing looks as valentine's theory had just been confirmed.
Adam is also a half Bard from the Sun pathway.
Adam and the others after they alighted from the locomotive boarded a carriage to take them to church of the god of steam and machinery.
An imposing greyish-white city wall, rising to a height of three meters, loomed before Adam and the others, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Lots of carriages, four-sitters, open tops, tandems, and cargo carriers were on standby, awaiting entry through the city gate.
Tax collectors, all wearing blue uniforms with white shirt, as well as black-vested police officers they were inspecting each carriage. Sometimes, they would demand identification or order pedestrians to open their suitcases for any hidden, dangerous and illegal material.
Trier houses a couple of mobs, merchants, swindlers and heretics, these sorts of individuals used to cause numerous problems and the two churches that are to established justice are the church of the Eternal Blazing Sun and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. These were the two prominent and well-known churches in the capital of Trier.
Adam gazed at the surroundings from the carriage he was in along with valentine and the others, seemingly bewildered by the bustling and thriving state of the town, although he saw tramps and other poorly mannered individuals he didn't pay the problems any mind as he had hope of having a new life here. Although he did not have any clue as to how life here was, he sure had huge hope of turning his situation around albeit with the help of the church they were headed to.
!!
Adam and the others soon arrived at the church of the Eternal Blazing Sun which was near the Suhit steam locomotive station in Le Marche' du Quartier du Gentlemen.
Its unique onion shaped dome, painted in a dazzling gold, clearly representing the radiant sun. below the magnificent structure lay a white building with gilded edges and a monumental Sun Sacred Emblem.
Just opposite the cathedral was a bell tower, crowned by a roof styled from a glowing golden sphere.
Taking in this site, Adam was bewildered by the exquisite architecture and allure of the Cathedral , Adam had already knew a bit about the churches, during those few hours he was in the train reading one of aurore lee's grimoires he had gained some insights on churches and the pathways they fall under.
for instance the pathway under the Eternal Blazing Sun is the Bard pathway, not to be mistaken for the twilight giant pathway, this is due to their similarities in dispelling evil spirits and monsters. these two were very effective in that regard .
they quickly walked towards the cathedral, as they entered what greeted them were believers of the eternal blazing sun, that were praying in their seats.
