Chapter 77: Berdan is still calm in the midst of war

16 Edmund Street, Bakerland, Hilston District.

It is a very ordinary detached house, with a large living room on the first floor, a well-lit dining room, two guest rooms, a washroom, a basement, a kitchen extending to the back, four bedrooms on the second floor, a living room, a sunroom, a study, a converted bathroom, and a large balcony.

"Although the area is not very large, the decoration is very exquisite, and there is a faint 'fairy tale' style, which is somewhat similar to some of the rooms in the 'Emerald City'....

"That's right, the queen lives here alone, and if the house is too big and doesn't hire servants and butlers, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, but this size is just right."

Gardelia, the "Queen of the Stars" who relied on the "Courier" to lead the way to this place, pondered as she searched around the house. "The room was halfway over, upside down on the table... After the snacks and coffee were ready, they were not touched, and they were not put away....

"It's not the Queen's habit!

"Even if she doesn't clean up herself, she'll let the 'invisible servant' do it....

"And there was no sign of a fight in the room.... So, something left suddenly?"

Seeing the traces of "life" on the table in the living room, Gardelia frowned, and soon moved back into the "remodeled bathroom" connected to the bedroom.

I saw that the eye-catching "jade" bathtub was full of water, there were dried water stains on the ground, and the surrounding shelves were still on the home clothes that the queen had taken off...

Gadelia has always known that the "mysterious queen" has a hobby of "bathing", even if she is promoted to a demigod and even an angel, she has not changed, but judging from the situation here, she should have put on the clothes she went out and left when she was halfway through, so the clothes at home will still be here.....

"It was a bit of a rush, but most of the remaining 'information' had been processed, and it was clear that the matter was not urgent enough to be imminent.... That's why the Queen can write to me so I don't have to worry."

On Gadelia's head appeared a pair of eyes that tended to be transparent, they had no eyelashes, and they stared indifferently and mercilessly into every corner of the bathroom.

"But what could make the Queen give up her 'elegance' and be anxious to deal with it?"

After thinking for a long time, Gadelia put away the "peeping eye", then turned back to the living room, and picked up the book that the queen had flipped halfway through.

It was published by Russell the Great, but it was not well known in relation to his enduring writings, and the writing was so immature that it was hard to imagine that it was by the same author as The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo.

Gadelia flipped through it casually, and felt that in addition to the unbridled imagination in the book that is very "Russell" characteristics, the logic of the whole text is very problematic, and the composition of many stories in it is very similar.

"This is supposed to be the work of the Emperor when he was a teenager..... But why did the queen flip through the book and seem to have taken a lot of notes?

"Also, what does the coined word 'time-traveler' mean when it's circled by the Queen?

"Well, the protagonist of this book seems to be a 'time-traveler', and eating 'sweet potatoes' can gain endless spirituality?" What does the coined word "sweet potato" mean?"

Full of questions, Gadelia put the book away and prepared to go back and study it, and if she really couldn't understand it, she would consult Mr. Tower, and even waste a precious opportunity to ask questions and get answers from Mr. Fool.

Makai County, Beldan City.

Although Fusak's vanguard troops have penetrated deep into Makai County, the clouds of war have not yet enveloped this newly rising "film and television city".

At first, there were many people who worried that this place would become a front line and a battlefield, but the escort of the Viscount's Mansion quickly calmed people's hearts.

For whether it was the rout of the front line retreating and plundering everywhere, or the small advance force of Fursack bypassing the Constance line, they were all escorted by the Viscount as soon as they approached Berdan

The lads were cleanly annihilated.

This has turned Berdan, and indeed a large area around it, into a chaotic "forbidden area".

It was because of the good law and order, the abundant food supply, the stable prices, and the large number of jobs that not only did Beldan not leave the population during the war, but also attracted many people who had lost their homes under the fire of Fusak.

Outside Beldan, Biles, a member of the convoy, was sitting in a steam-powered convertible vehicle with several colleagues. There is also a high-pressure steam machine gun in the rear of the car, which can shoot nearly 300 rounds per minute, which is a well-deserved killing weapon.

Half a month ago, with three vehicles, they wiped out a rout of about 200 men in a maneuver with three machine guns.

Speaking of which, these armed chariots were purchased by the Viscount himself shortly after the outbreak of the war, and the number is not very large, and there are less than a hundred in the entire Berdan territory, and each of them is marked with the trademark "Morning Star".

But oddly enough, Byers had not heard of this arms company.

Of course, the biggest reliance of their fleet was not the high-pressure machine guns on the three chariots, but the beautiful girl sitting next to Biles.

It was a cheerful and smiling girl with a pair of cute dimples, she had crisp and neat short blond hair, her face was radiant, and her words were full of confidence that did not match her age.

She didn't say her real name, as an ordinary maid in the Viscount's Mansion maid group, only that the lord himself gave her a code name called "Lightning".

Originally, the companions in the crew did not know why she had this codename, until a few days ago, they encountered an advance party infiltrated by Fusak.

Almost all the members of that team were extraordinary, and the captain of the team was a strong man who could release a large amount of terrifying light under a single sword.

Such an opponent made the strongest only Biles, the Sequence 8 "Raging People", fall into despair.

But at this time, "Lightning" made a move, and she didn't make any moves, and the enemies of the advance team coughed one after another, and almost all of them lost their combat effectiveness.

Before the captain could react, he was struck by a thick lightning chain and fell into passivity.

"Lightning" took a moment to put the removed hairpin back in place, and then motioned for the group to "shred" the captain with the "chain" of the machine gun.

After this battle, everyone in the crew had a heartfelt respect for Miss "Lightning", who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Remembering the battle that had taken place in the past month, three chariots had approached the entrance to Beldan's city gates, and Biles came to his senses.

After switching shifts with the next group of patrolling out of town, Biles declined his teammates' invitation to go to the bar and ran alone in the direction of the train station.

He wants to see off his sweetheart, because the new movie starring the other party is about to be released around the world, and as the heroine, she is going to Beckland for the premiere.
