Chapter 36 The Land of Hope

The next few days of the journey were uneventful.

On the morning of May 30th, the "Saint Fern" safely arrived at the largest and most important port in the Loen Kingdom, Pulitzer Harbour.

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

In exchange, if Roman gets news about her teacher Mr. Downton from the Church of Storms, he must inform her immediately.

Since they didn't have a fixed residence yet, the contact information they agreed upon was to purchase "Seagull Brand" Southwell red wine in the newspaper and indicate their address.

Originally, Roman wanted to choose some newspapers with larger circulation, such as Backlund Daily, Tasok News, etc.

Later I thought that publishing purchase information in such a large newspaper would probably cost a lot more money.

So Roman chose the Backlund Post, which has a relatively small circulation.

After the St. Florian docked, Roman and his party packed up their belongings, protected their employer, Mr. Maxi Wade, in the middle, left the cabin, and entered the passage leading to the deck.

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

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

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

Out of caution, the employer did not choose to stay too long in Pulitzer Harbor, but directly planned to take the steam train back to Backlund.

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

There are many steam trains from Pulitzer Harbor to Backlund, and the distance is short. You can reach Backlund in about an hour.

Woo————

As the huge steel monster-like front of the car slowly slowed down, it slowly stopped with more than 20 carriages behind it, and stopped steadily at the platform.

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

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

Backlund is divided into two parts by the Tasok River that flows diagonally to the southeastern estuary. It is connected by the Backlund Bridge and ferry. With a population of more than five million, it is the most prosperous city in the northern and southern 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 cities such as Damier Port. That is, the air quality in Backlund is really bad.

.

The air is filled with light yellow haze, and even at noon, there is no sunlight at all. In a relatively dark place like the station, you can even see gas lamps that are lit one after another.

Roman couldn't help pinching his nose to relieve the sudden discomfort. He took the luxury carriage that Mr. Maxi Wade had ordered the servants to prepare in advance and drove all the way to Mr. Maxi Wade's luxurious villa in the West District of Backlund.

go.

Arriving at Mr. Wade's luxurious villa at No. 6 Fulham Street, West End, Backlund, went without any disturbance.

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

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

As for the arrangements for Roman and others, it is naturally done by his butler.

Roman looked at the middle-aged butler with some gray hair in front of him and heard him say: "Gentlemen, I am Mr. Wade's butler, Vernia, please come with me and arrange a room for you.

On the second floor."

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

This is a room near the stairs.

As temporary bodyguards during this period, the rooms for several people are located at the entrance of the stairs, making it easier to move around.

I don’t know what Mr. Maxi Wade told the butler in advance, but in short, the servants in the villa, including the butler, were very polite to the three Romans.

It's just that Roman's prominent height will get some strange looks when he walks in the villa.

Perhaps it is because the bloodline of Feysac can be seen, and the relationship between Roen and Feysac has always been very tense.

Entering the room, Roman discovered that although this was only a temporarily arranged guest room, the furnishings inside were very exquisite, with gorgeous but not exaggerated furniture and furnishings, as well as some decorative paintings and antiques.

It can be seen from the small details that Mr. Maxi Wade is by no means a simple upstart without taste, but a decent gentleman with sufficient education and aesthetics.

After Roman and the others put their things in the room, they tidied them up a little and then got together.

As a rule, a few people would formulate a protection plan, but because this is Backlund, they still have to act with caution as they are unofficial Beyonders.

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, including the employer, Mr. Maxi Wade.

Maybe in the near future, Mr. Wade will go to live in Queens, an area where aristocrats gather.

Roman's height would probably not be as conspicuous as it is now in the poorer, more chaotic Backlund East District, Bridge District, and Dock District.

So several people made a plan. If the employer's trip is in the main area of ​​Backlund, then Philogan and Emily will protect it. If the employer goes to other places, or to a private estate in the northwest suburbs of Backlund, then Roman and Philogan will protect him.

Go to protect.

In addition, Roman and others have another task.

In your free time, inquire about news about Backlund's Extraordinaries, including but not limited to information about various wild Extraordinary gatherings, and prepare for possible future activities of team members in Backlund.

Originally, Tony should have done this kind of detailed work, but Roman and the other two happened to come to Backlund and started to make preliminary inquiries.

In the evening, due to the fatigue of traveling, Mr. Maxi Wade had no itinerary and went back to rest after dinner.

Roman and the others did not go out and returned to their respective rooms to rest early.

Late at night, Roman, who had fallen asleep, suddenly felt something awakened him.

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

Just looking at the old man, Roman felt as if his soul was trembling, and an indescribable and uncontrollable fear welled up in his heart.
