21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 578 - 574 Chaotic Time (Please Subscribe, Vote for Monthly Tickets)

The 18th Century City of London was naturally quite different from the London of later times, shrouded in a thick fog that carried an odd smell, and the surfaces of buildings were coated with the black ash formed after coal combustion, making the entire city appear grimy.

If it had been the real 18th Century, the rise of the first Industrial Revolution would have injected new vitality into the city of London, with a large number of buildings being constructed, significantly changing the city and the lives of its inhabitants.

But in this space of misaligned timelines, London seemed especially bizarre.

On the Thames River, 16th Century sailing warships navigated the waters while a steam-powered bus, chugging unsteadily, burst onto the roads along the shore. The British gentlemen seated inside the carriages wore top hats, held walking canes, and donned dark overcoats, a classic male figure from the Victorian Era, whereas the ladies passing by on the roadside were still dressed in corseted gowns from the Baroque Era, creating a sense of temporal topsy-turviness.

In such an environment, Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi naturally didn't bother to conceal their modern clothes. Under the guidance of Gilles de Rais, they hailed a public horse-drawn carriage and asked the rickshaw puller to take them to the best hotel in the city.

Passing through the complex maze of streets, Yu Chen deeply felt the abundance of monsters that existed within this chaotic space. He sensed no fewer than twenty presences that had reached Legendary-rank, and even he, a Demigod of the Undead, was shocked by the thick Negative Energy and the astonishing resentment emanating from the Tower of London when the carriage passed by.

Indeed, it was no wonder that the Tower of London was known as the most famous "haunted house" in British history. If Yu Chen could have found a place like this before, he probably would have turned himself into a Lich long ago.

However, besides the dense Negative Energy and the astonishing malice within the Tower of London, the presence of multiple Legendary-rank beings gathered there also caught Yu Chen's attention. He made a mental note to deal with it after they settled down.

With so many Legendary-rank Undead creatures present, even as a Demigod, he needed to plan carefully. If he managed to capture only one or two and let the rest escape, he did not have the patience to play hide-and-seek across The City of London.

The carriage traveled at a good speed and didn't take long to deliver them to the front of a rather opulent-looking hotel.

Looking at the luxurious and clean hotel, Yu Chen asked the adjacent Gilles de Rais with curiosity, "Mr. Gilles, from which era is this hotel?"

"It's a Victorian-era hotel. Back then, due to the first World's Fair being held and with the United Kingdom at the peak of its national power, many new buildings were constructed," Gilles de Rais voluntarily took on the role of a guide, introducing the hotel in front of them to Yu Chen.

The three of them entered the hotel and quickly completed the check-in procedures with the help of the staff, arriving at the luxurious suite they would be staying in.

"Never thought these Gold Coins would come in handy one day," Gilles de Rais remarked with a sigh after using a few coins as a tip to send away the staff.

As a vampire who had lived for six hundred years and was once a lavishly living noble, he naturally had coins from various eras, but as times changed, these Coins ceased to circulate, becoming mere collectibles. However, in this space of mixed timelines, the Coins could once again be put to use.

For Gilles de Rais, however, wealth had long since ceased to matter after becoming a vampire, and knowing that this space was just a memory of the past, he cared even less about such things. What truly concerned him was the Human Skin Book in his possession.

Setting the Human Skin Book on the coffee table in the room and sitting on a sofa styled after the Victorian Era, Gilles de Rais turned to Yu Chen with curiosity and asked, "Mr. Yu Chen, you said something resonates with this book, leading us to this world. Can you find it?"

"Of course, I can, and if we want to get out, it's probably related to that thing," Yu Chen picked up the Human Skin Book from the coffee table. Through this book, he could clearly sense something in the city resonating with it.

Perhaps because the book had come to this space, the resonance had weakened, maintaining only a faint connection.

Hiromi Jounouchi, on the other hand, wasn't too concerned about the Human Skin Book. Instead, she was charmed by the feeling of traversing the city by horse carriage and couldn't help but ask, "Honey, shall we explore the city a bit?"

"I think you just want to enjoy the 18th Century London, don't you?" Yu Chen immediately perceived Hiromi Jounouchi's intention, but he wasn't opposed to it: "A tour around might be good. The authentic British charm of the 18th Century is something we can't experience in the real world. Moreover, we can better understand this city."

"I should mention that this city is not only 18th Century London; the London of the 16th and 17th centuries also exists in this space," Gilles de Rais raised his hand to indicate that he had seen more than just the London of the 18th Century.

"The main framework of this space should be 18th Century London, while earlier eras are embedded in fragments within the space, yet without clear separation," Yu Chen nodded in agreement with Gilles de Rais's observation, and it piqued his curiosity: "How intriguing. Since the 18th Century London is the main focus, I wonder how the earliers versions were incorporated."

"Since you're so curious, husband, let's go and explore," Hiromi Jounouchi discerned Yu Chen's interest and pulled him toward the door, eager to take him out for a look around.

However, just as they were about to leave, Gilles de Rais suddenly spoke up to stop them: "If you two are going out, I suggest changing into some clothes. Although the timelines here are jumbled, the staff looked a bit odd when we arrived, so it's better to blend in a little."

Hearing Gilles de Rais's advice, Yu Chen nodded: "It seems our first order of business is to buy clothes. Are there places in this era's London where we can buy ready-made garments? I think we'll need at least one set of noble attire."

"Although many nobles prefer to have tailors custom make their clothes, there are indeed ready-made clothing stores in this era," Gilles de Rais recalled and nodded with certainty.
