Mystery: Beginning with the Warrior Path

Chapter 36 The Land of Hope
The next few days of the journey, without any waves.

On the morning of May 5th, the "Saint Fernan" safely arrived at the largest and most important port of the Kingdom of Loen, Pulitzer Harbor.

Before disembarking, Arya Kress found Roman, exchanged contact information, and agreed that if there was any news about the mausoleum in East Balam of the Southern Continent, she would contact Roman.

In exchange, if Roman learns about her teacher, Mr. Downton, from the Church of Storms, he must inform her as soon as possible.

Because they did not have a fixed address yet, the contact information agreed by the two was still to buy "Seagull" Southwell red wine in the newspaper and indicate the address.

Originally, Roman wanted to choose some newspapers with larger circulation, such as Backlund Daily, Tussock Daily, and so on.

Later, I thought that posting the buying news in such a large newspaper would probably cost a lot more money.

So Roman chose the Backlund Post with a relatively small circulation.

After the "San Fernando" docked, Roman and his party packed up their belongings, protected their employer, Mr. Maxi Wade, in the middle, left the cabin, and entered the aisle leading to the deck.

From a distance, Roman saw Arya Kress put on a disguise and walked towards the hanging ladder alone.

She also saw Roman, but she didn't say hello, she just nodded slightly towards Roman, and turned to get off the boat.

Roman and his party also slowly walked down the hanging ladder and stepped on the ground again.

Out of prudent considerations, the employer did not choose to stay too much in Pritz Harbor, but directly planned to take the steam train back to Backlund.

As usual, they bought luxury first-class seats on the steam train, and without much waiting, they boarded the steam train to Backlund.

There are a lot of steam trains from Backlund in Pulitzer Harbor, and the distance is relatively short. It takes about an hour to get to Backlund.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

With the front of the huge steel monster slowly decelerating, it brought more than 20 carriages behind it to a slow stop and stopped firmly on the platform.

After more than an hour's drive, the group finally arrived at the capital of the Loen Kingdom, "Land of Hope", "Capital of Ten Thousand Capitals", Backlund.

This is Roman's first visit to this legendary city.

Backlund is divided into two parts by the Tussock River, which flows obliquely toward the southeast estuary. They are connected by the Backlund Bridge and the ferry. With a population of over 500 million, it is the most prosperous city in the north and south continents.

As soon as Roman got off the steam train and stepped on the land of Backlund, he felt the obvious difference between Backlund and Bayam, and Damir Port and other cities.That is, the air quality in Backlund is really bad.

The air was filled with yellowish smog, and even at noon, there was no sunlight at all. In a relatively dark place like the station, one could even see lit gas lamps.

Roman couldn't help pinching his nose to relieve the sudden discomfort.In the luxurious carriage that Mr. Maxi Wade had ordered his servants to prepare in advance, he drove all the way to Mr. Maxi Wade's luxurious villa in the west area of ​​Backlund.

Arrived at Mr. Wade's luxurious villa at No. 6 Fleurham Street, West Backlund, without any disturbance.

What caught Roman's eyes was a three-story building with a large garden, and neatly dressed maids walked through it in the garden.

After Mr. Maxi Wade returned to the villa, he explained the situation of Roman and others to his housekeeper, and after greeting Roman and others, he returned to his bedroom on the third floor.

As for arranging for Roman and others, it is naturally his butler.

Roman looked at the middle-aged butler with graying hair in front of him, and heard him say: "Sirs, I am Mr. Wade's butler, Fernia, please come with me, I will arrange the room for you On the second floor."

After greeting Mr. Fernia, he came to the room arranged for Roman.

This is a room near the stairs.

As temporary bodyguards during this period, the room for several people is located at the stairway, which is more convenient to move around.

I don't know what Mr. Maxi Wade explained to the butler in advance. In short, the servants in the villa, including the butler, were very polite to the three of Roman.

It's just that Roman's protruding height will get some strange eyes when walking in the villa.

Maybe it's because of Fusac's lineage, and the relationship between Ruen and Fusac has always been tense.

Roman, who entered the room, found that although this was just a temporary guest room, the furnishings inside were very particular, with gorgeous but not exaggerated furniture and furnishings, as well as some decorative paintings and antiques.

From small details, it can be seen that this Mr. Maxi Wade is by no means a simple nouveau riche without taste, but a decent gentleman with sufficient education and aesthetics.

After Roman and the others put their things in their rooms, they tidied up a bit and got together.

As usual, the few people will formulate a protection plan, but because this is Backlund, the few people who are unofficial Extraordinary identities still have to act cautiously.

Especially Roman, his figure is a bit too conspicuous, and his movements are not as free as in Bayam.

Especially in the West District, this is the area where Backlund's top wealthy businessmen live, and the employer, Mr. Maxi Wade, is one of them.

Maybe in the near future, Mr. Wade will go to live in Queens, which is the area where nobles gather.

Roman's height probably wouldn't be as conspicuous as it is now in the chaotic Backlund East District, Bridge District, and Dock District where poor people gather.

So the few people made a plan. If the employer's trip is in the main area of ​​Backlund, Philogen and Emily will protect it. If they go to other places, or go to a private estate in the northwest suburb of Backlund, Roman and Philogen will protect it. Go to protection.

In addition, Roman and the others have another task.

In the spare time, inquire about the news about the Beyonders in Backlund, including but not limited to information about various gatherings of wild Beyonders, to prepare for possible future activities of the team members in Backlund.

Originally, this kind of delicate work should be done by Tony, but it happened that the three of Romans came to Backlund, so they started to make preliminary inquiries.

At night, due to the exhaustion of boats and cars, Maxi.Mr. Wade had no itinerary, so he went back to rest after dinner.

Roman and the others did not travel, and returned to their respective rooms early to rest.

In the middle of the night, Roman, who had fallen asleep, suddenly felt awakened by something.

Roman opened his eyes suddenly, and saw an old man in a black robe appearing in his room.

Just looking at the old man, Roman felt that his soul seemed to be trembling, and there was an indescribable and uncontrollable fear in his heart.
