Chapter 9 East London

Early the next morning, Carl and Ceryl got on their newly purchased carriage.

With Karl's current financial resources, buying a carriage for the next purpose is already an affordable expense. Compared with waiting indefinitely to take the train, this method is faster.

According to the vague perception between Cyril and the other party before, her enemy should be near Johannesburg, so that city is the end point of their journey.

However, there is another troubling issue, and that is their current status as British people, which will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to their future journeys.

Because in fact one of the main causes of this war was the Witwatersrand Gold Mine [referred to as the Rand Gold Mine], a gold mine discovered in Africa. This place, which was originally a farm in Johannesburg, was accidentally discovered more than 10 years ago.

Gold has since attracted a large number of gold diggers.

Even driven by the gold rush, Johannesburg became one of the cities with the fastest growing population in the world by the end of the 19th century, and the British were pressing hard to obtain the largest gold producer in the world.

And not far from Johannesburg, there is Kimberley, a famous diamond producing area. This area can be said to be the richest area in South Africa, but it is this richness that attracts covetousness.

However, these are just local backgrounds. The real trouble is the city of Johannesburg. It is not under the control of the British now, but is in the territory of the enemy. If you want to enter that city at this special period and find out

It is really an extremely difficult task for their enemies to come.

Through the local map purchased in Cape Town, Karl also confirmed his order of advance. They first planned to set off from Cape Town through a large amount of no-man's land to the coastal city of East London.

When they arrive in East London, they will confirm the latest battle situation again, and then decide on a forward plan based on the actual situation to ensure their concealed whereabouts and safety to the greatest extent.

In order not to be discovered by the enemies in this land, Cyril also specially changed her eye-catching hair color, from pure white to a very ordinary blond hair, so that even if the opponent is discovered, she will not immediately

Instead of reacting, some investigations will be done.

In this era, southern Africa was completely desolate except for a few colonial cities. They only saw traces of native people once along the way, and other than that they were accompanied by the boring land.

And thanks to Cyril, there wasn't even an animal that dared to disturb their progress on the road. Even if Carl wanted to encounter a wild animal, it was a delusion.

In this way, they drove non-stop in boredom. After more than ten days, they arrived at their destination city, East London.

As a British colony, the prosperity here is in sharp contrast with the previous desolation. In order to serve the British people who work and live here, East London has all the most basic living buildings, various regulations are also quite complete, and it can be lived normally.

zone.

Although it cannot be compared with the real London, East London can be regarded as one of the central cities in southern Africa.

After Karl and the others arrived here, they booked a hotel to store the carriage, and then the two of them immediately headed to the church in East London.

The reason why they went to the church first was because when they were at the headquarters of the trial agency, they learned that branches of the trial agency in the British areas were generally located in local churches. At the same time, there, they, the officially recognized special persons, could get a certain degree of

of help.

Karl originally wanted to visit Cape Town, but because of the sudden disappearance of the girl Alice, for the sake of safety, they decided to leave Cape Town immediately the next morning. Now that they were far away from that city, they decided

Re-do what you didn't do before.

After leaving the hotel and searching the streets for nearly an hour, it was already around 5 pm. With the help of passers-by, the two of them finally found their destination.

This is a red and white church. Since it was not yet the active night on the mysterious side, they found a restaurant nearby and tried some local food first.

Facts have proved that in the future, the food on the land of Africa will probably only rely on the storage in Seriel's body. Compared with the dark cuisine of the British, the local African food is more difficult to eat. The only acceptable ones are barbecue, barbecue and

Barbecued.

After all the believers in the church left after nightfall, the two of them finally set off and quietly walked into the church in the darkness.

Sneaking in without attracting anyone's attention, after searching just like when they entered the headquarters of the Judgment Agency, they found an identical religious painting on a wall.

It looks like this is it.

Karl recognized this similar layout at a glance and immediately walked up and said: "We are related parties from London and hope to get some help from your department."

As a result, after he finished speaking, there was no movement on the wall in front of him. Not to mention the judge, even the one who came to ask questions could not be seen. Only Karl's voice echoed in the room.

Facing the cold wall, Karl and Seliel looked at each other. Could it be that they had made a mistake? This was not a judge's institution or was it abandoned?

After waiting patiently for a few seconds, Karl asked again.

The result is still the same, no reaction at all.

At this time, Seriel, who was standing aside, couldn't wait any longer.

She frowned and walked directly to the religious picture and kicked it over.

Following her kick, a click was heard and the door opened...

Seeing the secret door on the wall being kicked open by Cyril, Karl didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment of silence, he said, "How about we go in and take a look?"

"Um..." Cyril was also obviously stunned. She was obviously surprised that she kicked open the secret door of the Judge's institution. At this time, Karl asked her, and she replied uncertainly:

"Why don't you go in and take a look?"

With some hesitation, he opened the secret door completely, and Karl took Ceryl's hand and walked in together.

Unlike the headquarters, the tunnels here had nothing but a few wooden beams to support them. Karl felt that if there was an earthquake, there would be absolutely no chance of surviving here.

After they passed this distance, they finally reached the hall here.

It is still a rustic hall, with two simple passages leading to both sides, and a reception desk in the middle.

At this time, a listless judge was half leaning on the table, seemingly taking a nap.
