Chapter 36: The Land of Hope
The next few days of the journey were without any waves.
On the morning of May 30, the "St. Fernan" arrived safely at the port of Prietz, the largest and most important port in the Kingdom of Rune.
Before disembarking, Arya. Krees found Roman, exchanged contact information, and agreed to contact Roman if there was any news about the mausoleum in East Bailang in the Southern Continent.
In exchange, if Roman learns about her teacher, Mr. Downton, from the Storm Church, he will also inform her as soon as possible.
Because they do not have a fixed residence, the contact information agreed by the two is to buy "Seagull Brand" Nanwell red wine in the newspaper and indicate the address.
Originally, Roman wanted to choose some newspapers with a larger circulation, such as the Beckland Daily, Tassock and so on.
Later, I thought that it would cost a lot more to publish the purchase news in such a large newspaper.
So Roman chose the Beckland Post, which has a relatively small circulation.
After the "St. Furan" docked, Roman and his party packed up their belongings and took their employer, Maxi Fernan. Protected in the middle, Mr. Wade left the cabin and entered the aisle leading to the deck.
In the distance, Roman sees Arya. Krees disguised himself and walked alone towards the suspension ladder.
She also saw Roman, but she didn't say hello, just nodded slightly at Roman, and turned to get off the boat.
Roman and his party also slowly walked down the suspension ladder and stepped on the ground again.
Out of an abundance of caution, the employer did not choose to stay too much in Port Prieze and directly intended to return to Beckland by steam train.
As usual, a deluxe first class seat on the steam train was purchased, and without much waiting, several people boarded the steam train to Beckland.
The steam train from Beckland in Prietzport is numerous and shorter, reaching Beckland in about an hour.
Woo————
As the huge steel monster-like front of the locomotive slowly slowed down, it slowly stopped with more than twenty carriages behind it and stopped steadily on the platform.
After more than an hour's drive, the group finally arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Rune, the "Land of Hope" and "Capital of All Cities", Beckland.
This is Roman's first visit to this legendary city.
Divided into two parts by the Tasok River, which flows diagonally to the southeast estuary, Beckland is connected by the Beckland Bridge and ferries, and is home to more than five million people, making it the most prosperous city on the north and south continents.
As soon as Roman got off the steam train and stepped on the land of Beckland, he felt the obvious difference between Beckland and Beyem, and cities such as Damir Port. That is, the air quality in Beckland is just too poor.
The air was filled with a yellowish haze, and even at noon, there was no sunlight in sight, and in a relatively dark place like the station, you could even see gas lamps lit.
Roman couldn't help but pinch his nose to relieve the sudden discomfort. Ride the maxi. Mr. Wade had ordered his servants in advance to prepare the luxurious carriage and make it all the way to Maxi . Mr. Wade drove to his luxury villa in the West End of Bakerland.
Nothing made a splash to Mr. Wade's luxury villa at 6 Flerham Street in the West End of Beckland.
Roman was greeted by a three-storey building with a large garden in which well-dressed maids walked through.
Maxi. After Mr. Wade returned to the villa, he explained the situation of Roman and the others to his housekeeper, and after greeting Roman and the others, he returned to his bedroom on the third floor.
As for arranging Roman and the others, it was naturally done by his butler.
Roman looked at the middle-aged butler in front of him, whose hair was already a little gray, and listened to him say: "Gentlemen, I am Mr. Wade's butler, Vernia, please come with me, and the room arranged for you is on the second floor." ”
After greeting the Mr. Vernia, he came to the room that had been arranged for Roman.
This is a room close to the stairs.
As temporary bodyguards during this time, the rooms of several people are located at the top of the stairs, which is more convenient for movement.
Don't know about Maxi . Mr. Wade explained to the housekeeper in advance, in short, the servants in the villa, including Mr. Housekeeper, were very polite to the three Romans.
It's just that Roman's outstanding height will gain some strange eyes when he walks in the villa.
Perhaps it is because of the fact that the relationship between Rune and Fursack has always been very strained.
Entering the room, Roman found that although it was only a temporary guest room, the furnishings inside were very exquisite, with ornate but not ostentatious furniture and furnishings, as well as some paintings and antiques as decoration.
From small details you can see this maxi. Mr. Wade is by no means a mere nouveau riche without taste, but a decent gentleman with sufficient education and aesthetics.
After each of them put their things in the room, they tidied up a little and got together.
Normally, a few people will draw up a protection plan, but since this is Beckland, the identity of several unofficial extraordinary people should be cautious.
Roman, in particular, was a little too conspicuous in his stature, and he didn't move as freely as he did in Byam.
Especially in the West End, which is home to Beckland's top wealthy businessmen, the employer, Maxi Brown. Mr. Wade is among them.
Perhaps in the near future, Mr. Wade will go to live in Queens, where the aristocracy gathers.
Roman's height would probably not be as conspicuous as it is now in the slum-populated and chaotic East Side of Beckland, Bridge District, and Dockland.
So they made a plan that if the employer was in the main area of Beckland, it would be protected by Philogan and Emily, and if they went to another place, or to a private estate in the northwestern suburbs of Beckland, then Roman and Philogan would go to protect it.
In addition to this, the Romans have another mission.
In your free time, inquire about the news of the Beckland Extraordinary, including but not limited to information about various wild Extraordinaire gatherings, in preparation for possible activities of the team members in Beckland in the future.
Originally, this kind of fine work should have been done by Tony, but it happened that the three of Roman came to Beckland, so they made a preliminary investigation first.
At night, due to the fatigue of the boat, Maxi. Mr. Wade had no itinerary and went back to rest after dinner.
The Romans did not travel, and returned to their respective rooms early to rest.
Late at night, Roman, who had fallen asleep, suddenly felt that he was awakened by something.
Roman suddenly opened his eyes and saw an old man in a black robe appear in his room.
Just looking at the old man, Roman felt as if his soul was trembling, and an indescribable fear surged in his heart.
