(Line of Power - Bagio Line)

The free city-state of Green Lake, a city built on top of the Emerald Lake, is led by Astra Collins, who is known as the "Weeping Banker" because he constantly squeezes the money of his people, but always tears his eyes tell the people about his feelings. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Astra Collins was a lord who was spurned by the world, but he was always complacent, believing that he had established Lake City on a solid basis, and he even felt that his people loved him.

Baggio, who is in Lake City at this time, has been here for almost a month, since Bagio left the Clowe Passage, accompanied by Paul Ribeiro, through the Midtown Federation and entered the Free City-State area, Ribeiro sent Baggio out of the Midtown Federation, and the two separated.

Although Ribeiro was commissioned by Fonta Crum to accompany Baggio through the Midtown Federation in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Baggio and Ribeiro also formed a deep friendship during this time.

After entering Lake City, Bagio wanted to rest here for the night, and then continue to the south the next day, and Baggio's purpose this time was also very clear, that is, the Free Frontier.

But who would have thought that Baggio's identity was discovered by the spies under Astra Collins, the lord of Lake City, but Collins did not embarrass Baggio, he entertained Bagio very warmly, Bagio knew that Collins had a bad reputation, and he had no intention of making friends, but Collins was too enthusiastic, and he insisted on leaving Bagio in Lake City for a month.

On this day, Baggio had breakfast as usual, Bagio had been invited to stay in the main castle of Lake City, Lord Collins treated him like a guest of honor, but even so, Baggio was still planning how to leave Lake City without being sad, and Bagio knew that this was not his home.

Bagio sits on the balcony of the main fort, from here you can see the whole Emerald Lake, the Emerald Lake is quite beautiful, in fact, the Green Lake City is really a suitable place to live for a long time, but unfortunately Bagio does not want to spend the rest of his life like this.

"Hey, Butch, what are you doing?"

Bagio was still in a daze, but at this time, a young and beautiful woman walked up to Baggio, she called Baggio excitedly, Baggio turned around, and smiled at her.

"Hi Melia, I'm just admiring the scenery of the Emerald Lake, the Emerald Lake is so beautiful. Baggio said with a smile.

This young woman was Astra Collins' only daughter, her name was Astra Melia, she was very beautiful and had many suitors, but she seemed to have only been in love with Baggio, who had been in Lake City for a month, and she often said that Baggio was a great hero.

"Then let's go boating on the Emerald Lake!" Melia happily suggested, and Baggio smiled, maybe it would be nice to go rowing and change his mood.

"Alright, I'll call Anna, let's go together. Baggio said with a smile.

Melia once expressed her admiration to Baggio, but Bagio also politely rejected Melia's courtship, but Melia still seemed unwilling to give up, and Bagio didn't want to hurt the girl's heart too much, so he would always bring out Anna, who came to the free city-state with him, as a shield.

"Why do you have to call that troubadour......" Melia said with a slight disgruntled pout, and Baggio smiled slightly.

Melia doesn't like Anna, but that's normal, because Melia treats Anna as a rival, Anna accompanied Bagio to Lake City, she has been with Bagio since Bagio left the Midtown Federal Territory, Bagio is very grateful to Anna, of course, Bagio doesn't have any other thoughts about Anna, he just treats Anna as his confidante,

"Since it's a trip, of course the more people there are, the more lively it is, isn't it?" said Baggio with a smile.

"But people only want to be with the two of you......" Melia said shyly, she blushed and looked very cute, but Bagio didn't dare to look at her a few more times, Bagio didn't look away, which made Melia a little unhappy.

"Sorry...... Melia, let's not travel with two people, so as not to cause gossip. Baggio said softly, he now had a hard time accepting a woman's affection for him, because Bagio had never been able to let go of Fonta Alice, even though Alice had become the wife of his younger brother Lee Coriano.

"Alright, alright, Butch, I'm rooting for you, you know. Melia smiled slightly, and Baggio also smiled, he was very grateful for Melia's thoughtfulness and understanding, Melia did not have the same willful shortcomings as many aristocratic ladies.

Melia said that she would go back to pack her things and ask the servants to prepare some food by the way, while Bagio wanted to go to the bar in Lake City to find Anna, when Bagio and Anna came to Lake City together, Anna was also invited to stay in the main castle, but Anna declined Lord Collins's kindness, she said that she was more used to staying in a tavern hotel.

After settling in Lake City, Anna started her performance here, and her poems were loved by the residents of Lake City, where Anna gained a certain popularity.

Baggio and Melia agreed to meet at the Everylake City ferry, so Baggio left the main fort alone and went to the tavern where Anna lived.

Of course, Anna will not treat herself badly, she is a beauty who will enjoy life very well, although she is a winged person, but the temperament that a winged person should have, Anna has it, the tavern that Anna chose to stay in is also the largest and most luxurious place in Green Lake City, and Anna soon became a star here.

Baggio came to the tavern, and he came here a lot, so the tavern owner, the guys, and many of the regulars knew Baggio, and they knew that Baggio was a war celebrity from the Midtown Federation and a guest of honor of Lord Atlas Collins, so everyone was in awe of him.

"Where's Anna?" asked Baggio the tavernkeeper.

"Mistress Baggio, as far as I know, Miss Anna went to the market area, and she told me that if you come to her, please wait for her in her room, and then let our fellows go to the market area to find her. The tavern owner bowed slightly to Baggio, and then informed Anna of her message.

"Then I'm bothering you. Baggio smiled and nodded, and then went to Anna's room alone, where he often came, so Bagio didn't need a buddy to lead the way.

Bagio pushed open Anna's door, there was a faint aroma in Anna's room, Anna ordered someone to clean the room very clean, it can be seen that Anna is a person who pays attention to these things.

Bagio sat in the living room of the suite, he casually picked up a book on the coffee table next to the sofa, the title of the book was called "Strange Wonderland", Bagio knew that this was a book written by the great poet Di Lose, Bagio remembered that his friend Silveraxe St. Louis's personal guard Artiel liked to read this book very much, I really didn't expect that Anna was also reading this book now, Baggio felt that he had time and should read this masterpiece.

Bagio thought of the Silver Axe family again at this time, I really don't know if they have reached the Free Frontier at this time, and I don't know if they have already met their distant relatives, the high rock dwarves of the Giant King Hill, the Storm Family.

Bagio really misses Silveraxe St. Louis, who is a very charismatic snowy dwarf, Bagio thinks that Silveraxe St. Louis is his most important friend, and at this time, Bagio really hopes that he can reunite with the people of the Silver Axe family in the Free Frontier.

Bagio had nothing to do, and flipped through the book "Exotic Mysteries", the protagonist of this book is a knight of the kingdom, his name is Dolan Solar, this knight was framed and given death, but who would have thought that his soul was pulled to the plane of the French City by the Queen of the Black Lord of the French Indian City, and became the undead of the French Indian City, a warrior in the cycle of life and death, Doran Solal needs to solve the various intrigues and tricks of the French Indian City, and then help the Black Lord Queen stabilize the king's rule.

After reading the book, Bagio was really attracted by the content of the book, and he began to read the content of the book carefully, so absorbed that he forgot the time.

"It's a good book. ”

Suddenly, a pleasant voice came, and Baggio immediately closed the book, and he stood up with a smile, while Anna had just walked through the door, and she was smiling at Baggio.

"Great, Master Delosé is a genius. Bagio said with admiration that it was not for nothing that the name of the great poet Di Rosse could be famous throughout the continent of Yaluo.

"In that case, you can take the book and read it slowly, I've finished reading it. Anna said with a smile.

"Then you're welcome. Baggio smiled as well.

"But you can't come to me today just to borrow a book, right?" Anna tilted her head slightly, still with a charming smile on her face.

Bagio smiled bitterly, and he told Anna the cause and effect of the incident, and Anna patted Baggio mockingly, and Bagio felt helpless.

"It's good to have peach blossom luck, you're still hiding, what a strange guy. Anna said with a smile, and Baggio scratched his head helplessly.

"Melia is a lovely girl, but I don't really have any feelings for her. Baggio said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, you're asking too much. Anna said lightly.

"Not anymore. Baggio scratched his head and said softly.

"You don't have feelings for Melia, so do you have feelings for me?" said Anna suddenly, which made Baggio stunned, he looked at Anna, and he didn't know if what Anna said was true or not.

"Haha, I'm teasing you, don't take it too seriously. Anna smiled slightly, but Bagio didn't dare to let go of this, because Bagio had always thought that Anna was unfathomable.

"Alright, since we're going on a trip, let's not keep Miss Melia waiting too long, let's go to the ferry. Anna smiled again, knowing that Baggio must be embarrassed by now, so she hastened to propose to go to the ferry.

Baggio nodded quickly, he wished he could fly to the ferry now, and just like that, Bagio and Anna left the tavern together and headed for the agreed ferry port in Lake City.
