The bridge area is not a short distance from the North District, far from the direction of the airship entering Beckland, so the cheap apartment rented by Banabe has not been affected too much.

But he could hear nervous footsteps walking back and forth upstairs and downstairs, the soundproofing of the apartment building was not good, I don't know which room was crying, and from time to time there was a faint scolding.

Even if he did not suffer the pain of the war head-on, the news of Fersak's invasion spread like an airship in the sky, causing panic to spread among the inhabitants with irrepressible momentum.

Banabe ignored the movement outside the door, as long as no one knocked on his door with a gun, and his spiritual intuition did not have any warning of "death", Banabe did not feel any threat to him.

Oh, and as long as that old thing doesn't show up......

There was a strong smell of tobacco in the room, and it was hard to tell whether the smell was more choking or the Beckland smog was worse in this room alone.

The cigarette on Banabe's lips swayed up and down, but his attention was not on enjoying the suffocating air in the confined space, and the flying insect he had transformed into a secret puppet was flying down the hallway through the cracks in the doors of his neighbors, listening to their conversation.

The one who had been crying was a middle-aged woman with a vicissitudes of life and calloused hands, whose husband was a coachman who rented a carriage and was hired by a guest today to go to the West End.

The North and West Districts, on the other hand, were in chaos in everyone's news, and they heard that the streets were littered with bombs and corpses. With tears in her eyes, the woman continued to weave the blankets on her hands, because the family was counting on the hope that they would be sold before the winter and mixed with some coal money to keep warm.

The man who had been scolding was a worker at the dock transporting the catch, and because his wages had been repeatedly delayed, he had not yet paid his rent for the next month.

Hearing the crying next door, the man cursed at the window at the bastards who flew past Rune to vent his frustration.

Three rooms were empty, one of them was unoccupied, and the owners of the other two had gone out.

Banabe manipulated the flying insect that had been transformed into a secret puppet, and made it fly down the unclosed window of a certain room towards the roof.

Within a few minutes, Banabe's body stiffened in his chair, and then he was out of control of the secret puppet.

It's still too reluctant for a flying insect to be a secret puppet, not to mention that you can't see the distant scene clearly, and a bird can still be eaten when you pass by......

Banabey left the room with his "demonic" secret puppet, and climbed down the narrow hallway to the top floor through the hallway of scolding and crying.

The top floor of the apartment building wasn't high, but it was sufficient, and from the bridge area, Banabe could only see oval-shaped black spots moving in the distant sky, a hazy red surrounding them.

The other party has people from the church of the high-ranking Extraordinary, and the manifestation of that skill is very similar to the "hunter" related to the war...... The church didn't dare to do it directly, and the royal family didn't do it, because it was part of their plan?

The cigarette butt turned red from the hard inhalation of Banabe, revealing a pungent smell similar to that of gunsmoke.

That's what they want?

——

"It flew out earlier?"

Klein frowned, not expecting to hear the butler Walter say this.

The housekeeper who had just returned from leave and had been working hard all these days was also in a cold sweat, he knew that the little bird was the employer's very beloved pet, and he couldn't find it at the moment, and it would be bad if something happened outside.

But Klein knew that Nornes was never an ordinary bird, and if it had any special good luck on it, or subconsciously sensed danger, it was normal, and there was nothing to worry about.

Crane glanced out the window again, and the shadow of the airship grew bigger and bigger in front of his eyes: "You take all the servants to take refuge in the underground area, and I will go to St. Samuel's Church to find Bishop Elektra, he may know more about the current situation." ”

"Yes, sir."

Klein took a deep breath and quickly left the mansion with his secret puppet, and quickly headed to the nearest church, St. Samuel's Church.

He was also a little worried about the whereabouts of Noons, although with the lark's always intelligent character, it was almost impossible to encounter any danger, but now Beckland hid too many unstable factors.

Nornes also has a hunch of this change? No, I think I'm thinking too much about it, it doesn't have the heart to do this kind of thing......

It didn't take long for Klein to meet the familiar Bishop of Elektra in the church, and learned more details from the other party.

The outside assault on the North End was over for the time being, and the other side was marching towards the West End, which was clearly aimed at the political center of Beckland.

However, to say that the North Sector is already safe and too anxious, and Fursack's airship may turn back at some point, everyone is nervous.

Crane also uses Teleportation to secretly meet his loved ones, and when Melissa and Benson meet, Crane hides in the shadows and diverts a cannonball to protect the two.

I haven't seen it for a long time, Benson's hairline has not changed, but Melissa has grown taller and looks more mature, and she dares to take the subway to the West End at this point in time, which makes Klein sigh in his heart.

It wasn't until the two took refuge in a nearby church that Klein left.

For the sake of safety, Klein rushed back to 160 Berlund Street, and asked the housekeeper to take the servants of the family to St. Samuel's Church en masse, and hide for a while.

Once Fursack's army had completely withdrawn, Crane planned to have the servants move to Rose Manor on the edge of Beckland, which was less likely to be a target than the city.

Although there was plenty of food on the estate, it was necessary to stock up on food before the war broke out......

Daun Dantès, with his family servants, soon came to the church of St. Samuel and took refuge in the underground area.

Most of them whispered to each other with familiar people, and at such times, everyone was desperate to hear more, and worry and panic crept up like mold, growing in the midst of their low-voiced communication.

Even though the expressions of those people seemed very calm, their wandering eyes, and their eyes constantly scanning the entrances and exits, all showed the true emotions of these people.

A young woman with blond hair was walking through the crowd, whispering to the worried residents, quietly using the power of "pacification" to calm the violent fluctuations in the hearts of some without anyone noticing.

Audrey Hall, who was originally working on Bethfield Street in the North District, worked at the "Rune Charity Scholarship Foundation" as usual, when the explosion sounded, she immediately threw down the letter in her hand and rushed to the window to observe the situation.

Her education told her that she should go to a nearby church for help as soon as possible, and Audrey did the same, giving a very clear order for the valet and the staff of the bursary fund to rush to the nearby church.

Audrey originally wanted to rush back to Queens to protect her mother, but it was clear that the people around her were ordinary people who lacked the ability to deal with the current crisis situation, so Audrey had to accompany them to St. Samuel's Church.

Fortunately, Audrey has always carried the "Hand of Fear" and "Lies", two extraordinary items, with her, otherwise the "audience" really has no direct means to fight against long-range weapons such as bombs.

Upon arriving at the church, the bishop reassured Audrey, who received only brief information from him, led the group to the underground area, and left.

Audrey always felt that she couldn't stay here, and she was also uneasy in her heart, always wanting to do something. So after calming the people around her, she took the initiative to go into the crowd and began to calm the undercurrent of anxiety and fear.

When someone new came down, Audrey subconsciously glanced up.

The moment she made eye contact with Mr. Dawn, Audrey saw a very gentle smile, and the affirmation in that smile made her heart feel more warm.

——

"Extra! Extra! The kingdom declares war on Fersak! ”

The newsboys who shuttled through the streets shouted this headline so that everyone could hear it clearly - a new war was about to enter the kingdom of Rune.

It was already past noon, and although the early morning air raids had returned to calm, the faces of the pedestrians on the streets were more dazed, and a few showed obvious panic, but they did not know what to do.

It is an instinctive sense of danger, and deep down, they know that their lives are about to be affected by the coming war, but they do not know what is likely to happen until the moment when change actually comes.

Crane was sitting in the carriage, and when he heard the newsboy's shout, he just lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the blank faces, and it didn't take long for Crane to withdraw his gaze.

The family's servants had dragged the family to the Rose Manor on the outskirts, and Crane had no plans to leave the city of Beckland, he had to stay here to keep track of the changes in Rune's military.

At this time, it was time for Nornes to return home, and Klein planned to send the bird to Rose Manor as well, so that Nornes could continue to be active in the city, and he was very uneasy.

He looked back at what had happened in the past few days in his mind, the signs of war had been foreseen for a long time, but the other party didn't even try it, and directly let the extraordinary people of high positions do it, and there was also a corresponding hidden organization behind it......

Worried about attracting attention, Crane didn't continue to think about the question, but suddenly remembered something else.

"Zarathu" is looking for news of Gelman Sparrow in Beckland, as is the School of the Roses, and now, the evil spirit of the "Red Angel" is also in Beckland.

If this "hunter" who is good at weaving conspiracies, if he wants to exchange this information about Dwayne Dantès and Gelman for the help of a "soothsayer" angel, will he let go of such a good opportunity?

Crane immediately stopped the coachman, and he was even ready for the coachman to be turned into a secret puppet, but nothing happened.

After the carriage pulled over, Klein led his valet Enyuni to a nearby alley.

Flames erupted from beneath his feet, enveloping Crane and his secret puppet, and he wanted to stealthily make his way to St. Samuel's Church as quickly and secretly as possible.

However, when the "Flame Jump" ended, Klein found himself in a spacious living room.

His sense of all the flames was gone.

Crane looked up at the figure sitting in the easy chair, who was wrapped in a red cloak and stared at him with a smirk.

On the iron table beside the red-haired young man was a cage of pure flames, in which a lark was crouching, screaming aggrievedly the moment he saw Crane.
